In the courtyard, after Bai Hao finished speaking, the few of them immediately laughed.
"A bottle of soy sauce? What's there to borrow? I think you shouldn't leave. It's about time for us to cook. It's just an extra pair of chopsticks.”Huang Lei suggested," Besides, it'll be fun if everyone stays together.”
"Alright! Sure!" Zhao Liying also nodded hurriedly. She had not seen Bai Hao for five years and had too many things to say to him. Naturally, she was unwilling for him to leave just like that.
"This…isn't that good? You guys are filming a show, and if I stay, wouldn't I be on camera?”
Bai Hao was a little tempted. How could cooking for himself be as comfortable as freeloading on food and drink? Moreover, his culinary skills could only be considered barely acceptable. However, he was worried that if this program became very popular, wouldn't he become famous?
He came here to hide from Ma Yun. He didn't want the whole world to know that he was here.
You have to forgive otakus. In the world of otakus, there are only web novels and anime. What the hell is a variety show? In his previous life and present life, Bai Hao had lived for more than 50 years. The number of variety shows he had watched could be counted on one hand. He knew Zhao Liying because the people around him in his previous life had been discussing a TV series called " Thousand Bones of Flowers ".
"Isn't it good to be on camera? Brother Hao, you're so handsome. It's a pity if you don't become a celebrity.”Peng Peng subconsciously said. After all, this was a good opportunity to become famous. Some people would pay money to be on camera. Every red carpet, many female celebrities would throw away their face to add more scenes for themselves.
"Become a celebrity?" In an instant, Bai Hao shook his head like a rattle-drum." I don't want to enter the entertainment industry.”
"Why? Others wouldn't have the chance to debut even if they wanted to!”Zhao Liying said earnestly. She saw that Bai Hao was living in the countryside and thought that his life was not going well. Back then, when she was at her wits 'end, Bai Hao had helped her, so now she wanted to repay him.
"Forget it, I'll go back and eat Egg Fried Rice.”
It was impossible for him to be a celebrity, not even in this lifetime. What was so good about being famous? Was his popularity low now? The Condor Shooting Trilogy had been completed two years ago. Currently, Smiling Proud was still in the midst of being published. Many people on Weibo called him Teacher Bai. Back then, when the Condor Shooting Trilogy was released, thousands of people turned up. The Writers 'Association had even specially issued a certificate of honor to invite him to be the vice president, but he had rejected it.
He did not lack fame and fortune now. Why would he become a celebrity? He was asking for trouble.
"I'm not afraid that you'll laugh at me if I say it out loud. Actually, our show isn't popular at all.”Huang Lei's eyes darted around before he moved to Bai Hao's side and said," Look at how run-down this courtyard is. There's no gas at all. Before you came, the director even wanted us to plant rice seedlings. You can imagine how much this show lacks funds. If it was a popular show, would he be so short of funds? Isn't that right, Wang Zhengyu?"
The last sentence was directed at the production team.
What else could the director say? Although he knew that Huang Lei was mocking him, he endured it for the sake of the show.
Bai Hao thought about it and felt that it made sense. A program had an advertising company. If the program was very popular, the advertising company would definitely increase their investment. After all, businessmen were after profits. He understood this logic. Only programs that no one cared about would lack investment.
"Baibai, let me analyze it for you. Look, our show is mainly about a group of celebrities working in the fields and then cooking a meal. It's called a reality show, but the scope of activity is basically this courtyard. If you were the audience, would you watch such a boring show?”He Jiong had also learned his lesson and lied without blinking.
Bai Hao shook his head. Indeed, he had never watched such a boring show.
"Puff!" When they heard Huang Lei and He Jiong belittle the show's viewership ratings, Zhao Liying, Da Hua, and Peng Peng immediately lowered their heads and held back their laughter. They did not dare to speak because once they did, they might not be able to hold it in anymore.
Your grandpa!
Wang Zhengyu's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. A group of guests had cursed the show to fail in front of him, the director. Did they treat him as if he didn't exist? Did he know that he was so worried about the viewership ratings every day that his hair was about to turn into the Mediterranean Sea?
Fortunately, the assistant director brought a phone over in time to show him.
"Shameless, too shameless. Two old foxes actually teamed up to deceive little brother!”
"Let me tell you a joke: The variety show 'Life You're Looking Forward To' isn't popular at all.”
"Really? There are people who don't know the life they yearn for? I don't believe it!"
"Come on, what's so strange about not knowing? Do you think everyone in the world is chasing after idols?”
"If Little Brother knew that he was about to become famous, he would probably beat Teacher Huang up!”
"I've already anticipated the scene of Little Brother becoming the new labor force of the mushroom house.”
"On the methods of nurturing an amateur celebrity!"
Unknowingly, millions of new viewers had swarmed into the live broadcast room. These people were all Zhao Liying's fans. When they saw that Zhao Liying's rumored boyfriend had appeared on the trending searches, they rushed into the live broadcast room anxiously. However, before they could draw their swords, they saw He Jiong and Huang Lei fooling Bai Hao, and they burst out laughing.
This time, the director was in a good mood. With their ruckus, the viewership ratings would definitely go up a notch. Moreover, it seemed like this gimmick of nurturing an amateur celebrity was going to work!
Seeing that Bai Hao's expression had softened, Huang Lei added fuel to the fire." Our show is called Life to Look Forward to. What is Life to Look Forward to? Eat, drink, and have fun. I won't instruct you to work. If you're bored, help out. If you don't want to work, just sit there and stare blankly. Anyway, the production team didn't give you an appearance fee, and you're not considered our guest. When it's time to eat, I won't spare you a pair of chopsticks. I, Huang Lei, am not good at other things, but my culinary skills are great. Everyone in the entertainment industry knows my nickname, Little Chef Huang.”
Interesting. I don't have to work, and there's still someone to cook for me. This is indeed the life I yearn for.
"Are you sure you won't ask me to work?”
"I'm a big celebrity. Do you think I'll lie to you?”
"Deal. Hurry up and cook. I'm starving!”
