Chapter 58: Drowning
After coming to the hotel, Su Nian met Jiang Manru, she looked tired, she should have just come from the shooting scene, and she was spinning non-stop. Su Nian suddenly felt that he was really not popular enough, so he was so leisurely!
"Sister Manru!" Su Nian greeted her with a smile.
"Su Nian? Are your feet okay? Jiang Manru was a little surprised to see Su Nian appear here.
"It's okay, it just happens to be more idle these days, so I'll come and see your recording!"
She knew that Su Nian and Zhao Mengqian had always had a good relationship, so she didn't say anything, nodded and went back to her room.
Today is a dress rehearsal, and the official recording will start at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning, and the recording time will be about 24 hours a day. This is a very physically demanding variety show, and the audience may see a show of more than an hour, but the participating stars have to run for a day. Thinking of this, Su Nian was a little glad that he didn't agree to Sheng Yanke to be the resident guest of the show.
However, Zhao Mengqian is an athlete, and when she was in college, Su Nian's 800 meters were all tested by her. So this difficulty, she thinks it suits her very well.
Because this variety show makes money, the program team is also very angry, and each guest lives in the presidential suite. As soon as Su Nian entered the door, he was stunned by this authentic invincible sea-view room.
"Wow!" She put down her luggage and happily ran to the balcony, looking intoxicated.
"Alright, don't look like a hillbilly!" Zhao Mengqian walked out, gave her a drink and said, "It's so warm here!" β
"yes!" Su Nian lazily closed his eyes, took a deep breath and said, "I don't want to go back!" β
"When we retire, let's buy a house here for retirement!"
"Retirement?" Su Nian turned to look at Zhao Mengqian and said, "How old are you, and you thought of retirement." β
Zhao Mengqian sighed a little deeply and said: "Actually, our actors, especially actresses, have a really dazzling period of only a few years, and once you pass thirty, you can play the role of a mother." Once you get married and have children, then the resources available to you will be greatly reduced. So it's better to take advantage of the youth and beauty, make enough money, and then retreat bravely, travel around the world, and be a rich and idle old lady! β
Su Nian listened, smiled and said: "How can you be so pessimistic, you hone your acting skills well, and you can play anything when the time comes!" β
"That's the way it goes, but there are so many actors, and there are only a few awards every year. I don't think I have that talent to stand out from the crowd. Not to mention anything else, these days when I was in the crew of "Tianyake", I saw Sister Manru's acting skills, and I knew that some things were really talented, hey, I can't catch up! β
"Then find a rich man to marry!" Su Nian grabbed her shoulders and said, "Mr. Yang is a good choice!" β
"Yang Miao?" Zhao Mengqian was stunned, then shook her head and said, "Forget it!" β
"Why forget it? How good is Mr. Yang? Young and golden, handsome, and most importantly, good for you! I don't know how much better than that Lin Yuanfan! β
Zhao Mengqian looked into the distance blankly, and said softly: "It's because he's so good, so he deserves better!" I don't deserve it! β
"You Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·" Su Nian was really a little unaccustomed to this Zhao Mengqian who suddenly became serious.
"But if you say this kind of thing, it means that you already have a little bit of a good impression of Mr. Yang, right?"
Zhao Mengqian glanced at Su Nian and did not speak.
"I went to Mr. Yang before I came here, hey, he's also an infatuated lover. It's you, you have to forget Lin Yuanfan quickly! β
"You got it?" Zhao Mengqian looked at her and said.
"Mr. Yang is so sad, you can know the reason at a glance!"
Zhao Mengqian lowered her head, was silent for a while, and then said, "He is getting engaged, he called me, but I didn't answer." Later, he sent a message again, saying that he regretted it, saying that he still loved me the most, that he wanted to look at me again before getting engaged, and so on. I've been watching it for a long time, do you know what I think? β
"You're not going to take it seriously, are you?"
"Of course not, I just feel sick. Lie to me when you're with me and lie to someone else when you're with someone. I wondered how I could have given my youth to such a person. β
"So you're in the bathroom, and that's why you're crying because of this?"
"Or else?" Zhao Mengqian looked at Su Nian and said, "I'm relieved, can't I cry well?" No, how do you know I'm crying in the bathroom? β
"Mr. Yang told me!" Su Nian shrugged and said, "Then it seems that you have misunderstood!" β
"What do you mean?" Zhao Mengqian frowned.
"It's nothing, it's just that I have to explain to Mr. Yang after I go back, we Mengqian, there is no one in his heart anymore, he can continue to work hard!"
"Don't make a fuss!" Zhao Mengqian smiled helplessly, and the two of them quietly looked at the distant sea area on the balcony, speechless for a long time.
In the evening, the people of the program team sent the next day's arrangements and scripts to Zhao Mengqian's room, and Su Nian watched them together. In this issue, the guests were divided into many groups, all of which were a combination of a man and a woman, and there were many confrontational links, which were a little simple and straightforward in the past, Su Nian said with some anxiety: "Who is partnering with you?" β
"It should be Ding Xiaoyuan, it's the post-00s!" She covered her mouth and said, "Little fresh meat!" β
"So small, don't you know how to take care of people!" Su Nian muttered, and then said, "But it's good if it's not that Xu Wenzhi!" β
"Why?"
"I heard that he has liked Yao Junyi for a long time, if he is in a group with you, wouldn't it be easy to be bought by Yao Junyi?"
Zhao Mengqian glanced at the list, and then said uneasily: "Is it so terrifying?" With so many people on set, what could she do to me? β
Su Nian sighed, she just didn't know what Yao Junyi would do, otherwise she wouldn't have come in person.
The two chattered all night before going to bed, and at six o'clock the next day, Zhao Mengqian's makeup artist came to her door on time to put on her makeup.
Su Nian also got up in a daze, and saw Zhao Mengqian in the dressing room and said to the makeup artist: "Put on more makeup spray, we will go into the water later!" β
"Into the water?" Su Nian sat next to her, picked up the hot milk on the side, took a sip and said, "Then you must be careful, you are not a good swimmer!" β
"It's fine!" Zhao Mengqian said disappreciatively: "Sister Yalin has been to see the pool, it is only one meter deep, can I still drown in it?" β
"Phew, don't crow's mouth!" Su Nian said unhappily: "Anyway, be careful!" β
Zhao Mengqian agreed to come down, and about an hour later, the film crew came to shoot. Because Su Nian came to visit the class, in order to add some heat to herself, Sister Wu also greeted the film crew and took some pictures of sisterhood.
The two went out hand in hand and greeted the camera happily. Entering the elevator, Zhao Mengqian's director in charge asked Su Nian with a smile: "Does Su Nian want to play an issue of "Gorgeous Adventure"?" β
"Of course I want to, but I can't even squeeze in if I break my head!"
"Then I'll get out of the car and give you this position!" Zhao Mengqian turned her head and said with a smile.
"Okay, then you should get out of the car quickly!" Su Nian helped her tidy up her clothes and said, "You can leave after recording this issue!" β
"Annoying!" Zhao Mengqian snorted, and the director continued to ask: "Mengqian, today is partnering with male guests, who do you want to partner with?" β
"Me?" Zhao Mengqian pretended to roll her eyes mysteriously and then said, "Ding Xiaoyuan!" β
"Why?"
"Because he's the youngest, and he's in good physical strength!"
"Haha!" Su Nian burst into laughter on the side without warning, and then patted Zhao Mengqian's shoulder and said, "Good physical strength, you are a person!" β
"Oh, Su Nian, you're so annoying!" Comprehending Su Nian's meaning, Zhao Mengqian blushed all of a sudden, the two quarreled in the elevator for a while, and the director looked at the picture taken by the photographer, they were indeed a pair of sisters who had a good relationship in the past.
Soon the two of them came to the filming location, and at the beginning they were placed next to the luxurious pool of the hotel, and it seemed that they were going to enter the water from the beginning!
After Su Nian cheered Zhao Mengqian on, he sat on the sidelines. Soon the flying guests and resident guests arrived, and after several people pretended to be polite to each other, they were grouped.
The way of grouping is very simple, there are two teams of men and women, the boys stand behind a papier-mΓ’chΓ© screen, leaving only a rope of different colors outside. Then the girls choose one by one, and the boy who is pulled out in the end will automatically form a pair.
It may seem random, but it's all scripted. Zhao Mengqian already knew that behind the blue rope would be Ding Xiaoyuan!
The boy was already standing behind the screen with his rope in his hand, waiting for the girl to choose.
Su Nian looked from afar, Zhao Mengqian grabbed the blue rope almost immediately!
But at the other end of the blue rope is Xu Wenzhi!
She immediately stood up, looked at the director on the side and said, "Director, didn't you arrange a group of Zhao Mengqian and Ding Yiyuan?" β
The director frowned and said: "I clearly wrote in the script, the purple rope is Ding Xiaoyuan!" Is she blue and purple? β
It's not color blindness, how can there be no distinction between blue and purple?
"Do you want to re-record it?" Su Nian said a little anxiously, but before the director could think clearly, Zhao Mengqian pulled hard and pulled Xu Wenzhi out.
"Oops!" The director said with some regret: "Forget it, it's troublesome to make a prop again." It's good to be in a group of them, the process is the same anyway, it's not bad! It's just that the foreshadowing made before can't be used, and it has to be retaken! When it's over later, let Zhao Mengqian go back to the room and say again if she wants to team up with Xu Wenzhi! β
This is not a question of whether to make up the shot or not, after Zhao Mengqian pulled out Xu Wenzhi, she was also taken aback.
She looked at the rope in her hand in disbelief, and then looked at the side, a girl pulled out Ding Xiaoyuan, but she also had a shocked look on her face.
The two looked at each other and knew that they had pulled the wrong person.
"What's going on?" Zhao Mengqian stepped forward and whispered, "Didn't you say that the blue rope is Ding Xiaoyuan?" β
"The script I received says that the purple rope is Xu Wenzhi!" The girl muttered quietly, too.
Zhao Mengqian pulled the rope and looked at the director at a loss, but received a gesture from the director to continue filming.
"It must be the negligence of the staff!" The girl said with a smile: "I said that I was looking forward to cooperating with Xu Wenzhi when I recorded in the morning!" It looks like this paragraph is going back to be remade! β
Zhao Mengqian smiled reluctantly, she remembered what Su Nian told her, Xu Wenzhi likes Yao Junyi, so it is easy to be bought.
She thought Su Nian was worried before, but she didn't expect it to be such a coincidence! Can the partner who was originally arranged be replaced?
Su Nian glanced at Yao Junyi, she was already standing with the boy she had drawn, and the corners of her mouth had been wearing a kind and kind smile, but when she swept over Zhao Mengqian and Xu Wenzhi, there was a pride in her eyes that she couldn't hide!
Soon everyone has divided into teams, two by two, the theme of today's game is the prince and the princess, and one of them is a man and a woman pretending to be a witch and a witch, to put it bluntly, it is an undercover agent. And the top three in each round of the game can change partners and get an undercover clue. has always been a variety show routine, but Su Nian almost didn't have to guess to know that the undercover agents must be Yao Junyi and Xu Wenzhi!
How did she know?
After all, they all smell of "dog men and women"!
The first round of the competition is to find a ring in the water, men and women take turns, each ring has the name of the other party, and after finding it, put it on the other party waiting on the shore, and then it is completed. Whoever takes the least amount of time wins.
Although Zhao Mengqian was beating the drum in her heart, she still had to keep a happy appearance in front of the camera. She glanced at Yao Junyi beside her, and saw that she was talking to the junior next to her, as if she was seriously teaching her game skills.
Zhao Mengqian turned her head, thinking that even if she lost the game, she had to stay away from Yao Junyi!
At the sound of an order, the boys' competition soon began. There was a flutter in the pool, the ring was already small, and the name on it had to be distinguished. And Xu Wenzhi is highly myopia, which is a well-known thing, so he can only grope in the water like a blind man, but he made a lot of jokes.
Soon Ding Xiaoyuan was the first to find his ring, and then brought it to his partner.
Zhao Mengqian watched from the sidelines, her heart was angry and sour, he should have been his partner!
As expected, Xu Wenzhi was the last to find the ring. When he brought the ring to Zhao Mengqian, he said with a simple face: "I'm sorry, I really can't see it!" β
What can Zhao Mengqian say? I can only forgive with a smile! Besides, this is a game, and if it is more serious, it will be criticized by netizens.
It's just that Zhao Mengqian is really hot, and she could have gotten the first!
Su Nian was on the side, naturally not worried about her ranking, but only hoped that she would stay away from Yao Junyi.
Soon it was time for the girls to compete, and after a whistle, the pool was splashed. Zhao Mengqian dived under the water to find the so-called ring, and at the same time tried to find a way to stay away from Yao Junyi's location.
"Zhao Mengqian is out of the camera!" The director frowned and said, "Let her go back a little!" β
After receiving the order, someone soon stepped forward and said to Zhao Mengqian: "Sister Mengqian, there is no ring here!" It's all in that red zone! β
"Monsie! Did you find it? At this time, Yao Junyi suddenly stepped forward and asked affectionately holding her hand.
"Nope!" Zhao Mengqian wanted to shake off Yao Junyi's hand, but she was pulled by her!
"I seem to see your ring, come with me!" She pretended to be enthusiastic and walked back with Zhao Mengqian, but when she was about to reach the red zone, she deliberately tripped and fell, and the two fell into the water together.
Everyone in the arena was still looking for the ring, and no one noticed that they were all soaked in water.
It just so happened that an actress found her own ring, and the cameras were all aimed at her, and Zhao Mengqian and Yao Junyi on the side were even more uncaring!
Zhao Mengqian secretly screamed badly, struggling to get up, but was pressed into the water by Yao Junyi!
Yao Junyi's water is good, but Zhao Mengqian is different! She panicked and began to struggle, wanting to push Yao Junyi away, but Yao Junyi just held her head so that she couldn't get up. Looking at it from a distance, I thought that both of them were seriously looking for the ring underwater.
And Su Nian saw that something was wrong, Zhao Mengqian didn't like diving, because she didn't like the feeling of holding her breath. But this time it has been underwater for so long, something is obviously wrong!
"Director, there seems to be a problem with Zhao Mengqian!" Su Nian hurriedly stepped forward to tell the director, but the director only looked at the successful pair in front of the camera, the two are a couple who have always had scandals, and some interactions at this time, as long as they are captured, it is easy to increase the ratings!
"Director!" Su Nian said anxiously: "Zhao Mengqian is not good at water! Call someone to save her! β
"This pool is only one meter deep, if she can't stand it, she can stand up! I'm definitely looking for a ring! The director didn't care.
Zhao Mengqian was extremely frightened at this time, and Yao Junyi's hideous face looked even more terrifying underwater. She even felt that Yao Junyi would drown herself without hesitation at this moment!
What's even more desperate is that no one notices them at all.
"Die!" She saw Yao Junyi's mouth shape in the water, these are these three words!
Just when Zhao Mengqian thought that she was really going to die of lack of oxygen, suddenly a pair of hands pulled her out of the water.
Jiang Manru finally noticed that something was wrong there, and then stepped forward to pull Zhao Mengqian up.
She got up and gasped for breath and shivered, unable to believe she had been rescued.
"Are you alright?" Jiang Manru asked with concern.
Zhao Mengqian trembled, pointing to Yao Junyi, who was slowly floating out of the water, and was speechless for a long time.
"Don't go too far!" Jiang Manru knew what Yao Junyi was doing, and warned her with a cold face.
"I'm just helping her find the ring!" Yao Junyi smiled slightly, and then said to Zhao Mengqian with a little apology: "I'm sorry, I didn't know you didn't know how to water." β
"You Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·" Zhao Mengqian stepped forward to think about the theory, but was stopped by Jiang Manru. Yao Junyi proudly took her ring and returned to the camera.
"She's going to kill me!" Zhao Mengqian cried and said to Jiang Manru: "She just pressed me under the water!" Yao Junyi is really a devil! β
"Shh Jiang Manru motioned for her to restrain her emotions, then looked around and said: "The director has a good relationship with her, don't turn your face with her here, otherwise the director will edit you indiscriminately in the later stage, and that will be troublesome!" She took out the ring Zhao Mengqian was looking for and handed it to her and said, "Take the ring to complete the task, and I will help you next!" β
Zhao Mengqian is a person who has no idea, and when she heard Jiang Manru say this, she could only nod with tears in her eyes, and then returned to the camera.
Jiang Manru stood in place, looked at Su Nian in the distance, and nodded lightly.
Su Nian relieved her heart at this time, Rao was like this, she didn't expect Yao Junyi to be so bold. She looked at the director, then sat down next to him and said, "Strange, obviously the equipment is enough, why can't most of the swimming pool be filmed?" β
"The equipment is expensive, and I'm afraid of splashing water. Besides, they only compete in that area, and it's a waste to shoot other places! β
Looking at the flickering look in the director's eyes, Su Nian knew that Yao Junyi's hand had reached here.
She really underestimated Yao Junyi's social skills!
After the end of the first round of games, the top three were selected, and Jiang Manru's partner in that group happened to be the third place. Originally, her script said that she would not change partners, because their group was the designated champion. But Jiang Manru went against the norm and replaced his partner and replaced Xu Wenzhi to his side.
"What's going on?" The director was amazed! And Jiang Manru's partner also felt strange, why didn't they follow the script one by one?
Everyone packed up, changed their clothes and walked to the next venue. On the way to the transition, the director stopped Jiang Manru.
"Sister Manru, what are you doing?" The director said a little impatiently: "Didn't you say it all?" You and Tan Fei are the internal champions! How did you replace him now? β
Jiang Manru had a cold face, looked at the director, and said with a sneer: "I won't follow the script when filming, if I shoot a variety show, I still have to follow your script?" β
"You Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·" The director was a little speechless, Jiang Man ignored him and got into the car directly.
Yao Junyi didn't seem to expect Jiang Manru to help Zhao Mengqian, she sneered, thinking that Zhao Mengqian's popularity was really good! But what if Xu Wenzhi is replaced? Isn't it simple for her to want to fix Zhao Mengqian?
Zhao Mengqian couldn't lift her spirits when she sat in the car, and Tan Fei on the side also felt inexplicable. The two sat awkwardly in the car, with almost zero communication.
"Has Tan Fei seen Meng Qian's works before?" Seeing this, the staff in the car could only take the initiative to provoke the topic.
"Well, I've seen a little." Tan Fei smiled perfunctorily.
"Where's Mengqian?"
Zhao Mengqian was still in a daze as if she had lost her soul.
"Monsey!" The staff called her again, and Zhao Mengqian came back to her senses, and then stumbled and said, "I Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· I've seen it! β
Looking at her appearance, Tan Fei recalled that when she was playing in the water just now, Jiang Manru only said "Mengqian is in danger" and left. Looking at her appearance, wasn't she scared just now?
"Are you alright?" He asked with concern.
Zhao Mengqian turned her head, her eyes red like a rabbit.
"It's okay, I just choked on a lot of water, and it's a little uncomfortable!"
Tan Fei didn't say anything, he was born as an athlete and one of the resident guests, and he was positioned as a powerful hunk in the show, presumably Jiang Man saw that Zhao Mengqian was a little uncomfortable with these games, so he split them up and asked him to take care of Zhao Mengqian a little.
"It's okay, I'll take care of you later!" Tan Fei smiled and stretched out his fist, Zhao Mengqian smiled reluctantly, and also stretched out his fist and touched it gently.
The game after that was really the same as Tan Fei said, he took good care of Zhao Mengqian throughout the whole process, almost didn't let her run much, and at the same time, Yao Junyi couldn't find a chance to start!
Those partners have changed several times, but the combination of Zhao Mengqian and Tan Fei has not been dismantled. Facing the test of the last level, Su Nian was also much relieved.
By the time the last game was recorded, it was already night. The venue is the university's library. Each of them had a total of three roses attached to them at the beginning, and there were also roses in the library, which could be taken from each other, only one at a time, and among the two partners, whoever had the roses first would be eliminated first, until all the roses were captured, the whole team would be eliminated. At the same time, there is also information about undercover agents hidden in the library, and when the number of roses owned by male and female undercover agents reaches five, undercover agents can fight back.
Because of Tan Fei by her side, Zhao Mengqian's state gradually recovered. The hands of the two were tied together, and finally Zhao Mengqian had a rose on her body, and the other two were on Tan Fei's body.
Yao Junyi went through several twists and turns and changed Xu Wenzhi to his side. When the game begins, everyone is running in all directions, only their pair is standing in the shadows and not moving.
The cameraman who followed the shooting consciously put away the camera, Yao Junyi raised her head and looked at the second floor, Zhao Mengqian and Tan Fei were snatching roses with another pair of men and women, laughter and screams came and went, and they were having fun watching the past.
"Remember to get the roses on Tan Fei's body, I want them to be the only one left in the combination, Zhao Mengqian alone!" Yao Junyi said sadly.
"Don't worry! It will be as you wish! β
