The days when Yi came to reach out and eat to open his mouth lasted for two whole weeks, and Xu Chunqiu from the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve to the fifteenth day of the first month, his feet did not touch the ground, and Lu Xiu carried him wherever he went.

On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the wound on Xu Chunqiu's foot had almost scabbed.

On the first day of the year, Tang Ze knocked on the door of the villa with his briefcase.

"A new announcement is coming. ”

He pulled out a thin stack of A4 paper from his briefcase, which was the business case of the new notice.

On the title page of the printing paper was the name of the project, and the words "Escape Room" caught Xu Chunqiu's eyes.

"The big-production variety show "Escape Room" is the same production team as "Ready Player One" that you have worked with before, and the PDs of the show are all old acquaintances. ”

""Escape Room"?" Xu Chunqiu unconsciously repeated half a sentence, vaguely feeling that the name seemed a little familiar, "I seem to have heard you say ......"

Tang Ze nodded: "Yes, it's the variety show you pushed down years ago." ”

"But it's been so long......"

Like "Escape Room" and "Ready Player One", such a brain-burning or puzzle-solving variety show, each episode has a different script, and the program team will decide the guest candidates according to different scripts, Xu Chunqiu pushed down the script of "Escape Room" a year ago, and the program team invited other guests to shoot instead, and there is basically no such store in this village.

Who would have thought that the program team of "Escape Room" would find Xu Chunqiu again.

"You're right," Tang Ze nodded affirmatively, "You really didn't catch up with the original script, and this time it's the new book of the next show that finds you." ”

He turned the first page of the project and clicked on it, Xu Chunqiu took a closer look, and it was the title of the script of this show-

"Old Things in Peking".

Tang Ze continued: "It's strange to say, I heard that it seems that the production team of "Escape Room" has added a new screenwriter, and this screenwriter has to ask you to star, without you, this book will not be activated. ”

"I flipped through the project in advance and found that the story line of this episode of the show was indeed very interesting, no wonder the production team couldn't give up after thinking about it. ”

"In addition, there is another point," his gaze turned to Lu Xiu, "They not only want Xu Chunqiu by name, but also hope that Mr. Lu can also act as much as possible." ”

Lu Xiu: ???

"I'm not an artist......

Tang Ze shrugged: "I don't know what they mean, maybe it's in response to the restriction order of the General Administration of Culture." ”

Several variety shows that have been broadcast recently are responding to the requirements of the State Administration of Culture to increase the participation of amateurs, and "Escape Room" is also not exempt from vulgarity, and the five-person guest group to be invited in each issue is roughly a lineup of three artists with two amateurs, and the audience's understanding of amateurs is quite limited, if the artists fail to successfully control the rhythm and atmosphere and drive the audience's emotions, the whole episode is likely to become boring.

Therefore, the program team has put a lot of effort into the selection of amateur guests, inviting amateurs who are quite related to the artist as much as possible, and the celebrity's out-of-circle partners, family members, and friends have become the best choice in the range of amateur guests to be invited by the program team.

"What's more, you and Xu Chunqiu's CP has always been very popular, and now when you open the Weibo CP list, 'Lu Xu' is still at the top of the list, and you can be regarded as half an insider if you round it off. Tang Ze added.

Is it really just because of this?

Lu Xiu vaguely felt in his heart that there was some other reason.

"The recording time is next Saturday, Mr. Lu, is it convenient for you? Mr. Lu?"

Tang Ze was still asking, Xu Chunqiu was looking at him, and a pair of watery eyes met him.

Lu Xiu came back to his senses and bowed slightly: "Okay, there is no problem with time." ”

It was as if he was going to play with Xu Chunqiu, he thought secretly.

......

At the same time, Xie Lang's agent also got the plan for this issue of "Escape Room".

The agent spread the case on the table and pushed it in her direction: "Look at this. ”

Xie Lang's eyes had just touched the title, and a small face collapsed: "Variety shows that deduce puzzles......"

Her singing and dancing are not very outstanding, and her acting is almost stable in the circle of idol dramas, and the main development route is in the direction of variety shows.

Among so many types of variety shows, what she is not good at is the type of mystery solving.

She flattened her mouth, wrinkled her nose and said, "You also know that I don't like to take on this type of variety show the most, I don't have enough brains." ”

Xie Lang's sense of variety shows is natural, coupled with the ups and downs over the years, she has long been well versed in the way of likability, knows when to speak and when not to speak, and when to be clever to attract the audience's liking, and on what occasion to say witty things will only backfire.

She knows current affairs and has a stalk, basically she can earn praise for any variety show she participates in, except for "Ready Player One".

The first time "Ready Player One" cooperated with her was the script of "Nightmare in the Garden" that she and Xu Chunqiu and others reasoned together last time, that issue became an instant hit with the whole variety show, and the program team didn't know how long they had eaten the dividends of this episode of the show.

After that, the program team also spent a lot of thought on the script, and the endless scripts were more brain-burning than one another, and the planning department boiled up their hair all night long, but the guests invited after that rarely had the previous effect, and the screenwriter team worked hard to come up with the script, and the players couldn't say why, so they could only look at each other in confusion.

They also tried to throw an olive branch to familiar players like Xie Lang and Ye Bei again in the follow-up shows, who knew that without Xu Chunqiu's meticulous thinking and methodical logic, the two of them were quite funny in other variety shows, but they couldn't save "Ready Player One" here, the keyboard warriors pointed out the country in front of the screen, scolding the stars who were in a deep predicament and had been difficult to solve for a long time for being uneducated.

And Xu Chunqiu's current coffee position is far from being comparable to yesterday, and he is the queen of the Golden Dragon Award, and he is nominated for the Venice Volpi Cup, it is impossible to stay at all, this seems to have become a dead end.

Everyone said that the pinnacle of "Ready Player One" was in the issue of "Garden Horror".

Xie Lang was scared of those comments on the Internet, since they said that she was a "pig brain", then she simply avoided this type of variety show and never accepted it again.
