The Strong Female Lead Versus The Most Miserable Male Lead-Chapter 1083: Extra - Celebrity Couple Variety Show Arc (Part 8)
A week later, the show launched its second, third, and fourth episodes.
Four episodes passed, and the three groups of guests lived together for eight days.
On the fifth day, Yu Zeming changed tactics and prepared for the three groups of guests to make their debut.
"Today, we are invited to be guests on another show."
The three families naturally had no objections; they were willing to go anywhere.
The group left and even encountered some fans on the Starship. Luckily, everyone was civilized, they took pictures together, and it ended perfectly.
After arriving in Zone 3, the few who disembarked from the Starship were picked up and quickly arrived in front of a tall building.
As they proceeded, those watching the live stream began to catch on.
[Isn’t this that talent show?]
[It seems to be a talent show on Youyu Live.]
[Makes sense, don’t let the benefits go to outsiders.]
[Is the Boss going to be a judge? Are you sure these people’s mental fortitude is up to par?]
[Hahahahaha! Right, the Boss won’t tolerate their nonsense.]
Amid the speculation, the six arrived at the audition site of the talent show.
The three groups, six people, were dispersed into three recording studios.
"You need to pick out the contestant you’re most satisfied with. Tomorrow there will be a competition, with online voting. The one with the most votes can have a say in the content of our next episode."
Yu Zeming, becoming more and more laissez-faire, simply handed the show over to the guests.
The three groups of guests understood and headed into their respective studios to begin.
This was a free-format, free-performance talent show, selecting forty-two people, twenty-one boys and twenty-one girls, to form separate groups in the end.
Nian Shutong and Fu Yunhe sat behind the judges’ table. Next to them was a staff member. With three people voting, it was two votes to advance.
The first contestant was a singer, and as soon as they started, Nian Shutong closed her eyes.
After the performance, Nian Shutong spoke up.
"Please take the cat out of your throat and sing it again."
[Hahahahahahaha!]
[Slapping the table laughing!!!]
[I’m under the table now! Take the cat out of your throat—Boss, you’re too talented!]
Not only were the comments section in stitches, but even Fu Yunhe and the other judge couldn’t hold back their laughter.
That contestant, naturally, was eliminated.
The next was a man who thought he was very handsome, performing street dance, confidently waiting for advancement.
As the lead judge, Nian Shutong spoke first.
"Fantasizing is an illness, cure it and come back."
The confident man stormed off, but what could he do? Nothing, because it was Nian Shutong.
The next one was a humorous guy who came in and told a few jokes.
"There’s a difference between being funny and thinking you’re funny. Go check the dictionary."
After saying this, Nian Shutong lowered her head, but the humorous guy was scheming, thinking being infamous is still being famous.
"I disagree. Maybe your sense of humor is just different from everyone else’s."
Nian Shutong said nothing. Fu Yunhe gave him a piercing look and spoke.
"Your jokes insult fathers, mothers, and others, showing you’re unfilial, unjust, and unrighteous. You want infamy; at least you’re thick-skinned enough."
Directly exposing the man’s intention, Fu Yunhe kept his eyes on him, and the man, sweating profusely, ran off without a word.
[Wow! Is this what they call protectively fierce husband?]
[Yes! It’s a small scene, but still a bit sweet.]
[Did you notice the Boss? She didn’t lift her head the whole time, only exchanged a smile with the Commander after the man ran.]
[Saw it! Saw it! So much love!]
The audition continued, with Nian Shutong delivering golden lines, sparking wave after wave of small climaxes.
To a guy unimpressed by a Star Network ranking, Nian Shutong said: Did you make it to that list?
The guy was caught off guard and angrily left.
To those playing the pity card, Nian Shutong wrote something on a paper, handed it over, and said: "You’re at the wrong place, here’s the contact for a charity."
The half-crying girl took a URL and left with her head down.
[I never watched this kind of show, but I realize it’s not the show I didn’t like, it was the lack of the Boss.]
[Exactly, I thought it was so fake, but this time the Boss’s presence is so satisfying.]
[Boss, you speak for us.]
[No! It should be version 2.0 of speaking for us.]
The half-day audition ended, and very few were chosen from Nian Shutong’s side; only two people, one male and one female.
The other two groups were also strict but slightly lenient compared to Nian Shutong, with softer words.
When Yu Zeming appeared again to ask if Nian Shutong would attend the afternoon audition,
"No, it’s not good prenatal education."
Nian Shutong declined and took the two people she selected to Youyu Company’s recording studio to record a song.
"This song, you have the rights to cover it later."
After saying this, Nian Shutong took a song from Earth, one from a group that was a sensation everywhere, and had the one male and one female cover it, giving them the rights.
The next day, the three groups of guests brought the people they selected for a simple performance, and there was online voting.
Li Zifan and his wife delivered an interesting skit, very funny.
Shu Cheng and his wife didn’t choose their usual singing, but instead formed a dance group, with hot songs and lively dance, creating quite the buzz.
Finally, it was Nian Shutong’s group, the male and female took the stage, and the profound music gave a sense of peace and prosperity as soon as they started singing.
"Look at this mountain, countless peaks and ridges."
"Extending from one river to another."
...
"The dragon soars through the waves to the sky."
"This mountain, this river, this picture painted with ink."
A song, Mountain River Map, was soul-stirring.
Seated in the judges’ seat, Nian Shutong confidently looked at the voting platform, with a sense of inevitable victory.
Li Zifan and his wife stood up and began rallying votes.
"Hello everyone, our show might not be as splendid as the Boss’s, but don’t forget our bet: the winner can decide the content of the next episode. We are willing to respect what has the most support online."
Upon hearing this rallying declaration, Shu Cheng and his wife immediately caught on and said similar words.
"What’s going on?"
Nian Shutong disbelief glanced at the voting platform and met eyes with Fu Yunhe.
Fu Yunhe looked at Nian Shutong, who had the fewest votes, and knowingly said, "I guess everyone wants to see someone else directing you to do something, preferably something unexpected."
The three-way vote ended with Nian Shutong having the least, pathetically few votes, and Li Zifan and his wife winning.
Everyone directed their gaze towards Li Zifan and his wife, and Nian Shutong curiously asked, "What’s the thing that the audience is so eager to see?"
"Boss, public opinion cannot be defied." Li Zifan opened a large screen showing a poll with the theme of what people most want the Boss to do.
Nian Shutong’s eyes moved and fixed on the top-ranked item: for the Boss to be a kindergarten teacher for a day.
"Fu Yunhe, my head hurts."
[Hahaha! Boss’s expression is so aggrieved.]
[I know I shouldn’t be happy, but I’m actually so excited!]
[Me too! I can’t wait!]
[Will the Boss participate?]
[There shouldn’t be a problem, the Boss’s words hold weight.]
The viewers were not wrong. Nian Shutong agreed; she was going to become Little Douding’s "good friend."
