After dinner, Director Li felt that the live broadcast was a bit too bland.
So he set his sights on Chu Jinghe.
Why not borrow a tactic from the neighboring romance show?
He decided to go for it.
Director Li took a megaphone and had someone set up a campfire in a flat area.
He asked a few guests to perform an impromptu campfire dance!
As a former dance king, Zhou Jingming was the first to be called on.
The fans in the live broadcast were excitedly sending countless comments.
Zhou Jingming, under everyone's enthusiastic requests, performed a powerful yet graceful dance with ancient style music provided by the program team.
He knew that today's young people really liked this kind of dance.
Sure enough.
As soon as he finished, there was a crackling round of applause all around!
Qin Dingyue watched with wide eyes, not to mention the fans glued to their screens.
This dance was quickly clipped into short videos and uploaded to a certain platform overnight.
In less than half an hour, likes and reposts reached tens of thousands.
The comments section was flooded.
This showed just how insanely popular Zhou Jingming was.
"Zishen, I remember you're also great at dancing!"
Chu Jinghe suddenly spoke out with this sentence for some reason.
He successfully turned all attention to Xu Zishen.
Xu Zishen just froze for a moment, meeting Chu Jinghe's gentle smile, feeling a bit uneasy.
This scene of them looking at each other caught Mu Jincheng's eyes, making him furrow his brows tightly.
He didn't like Chu Jinghe smiling like that at other men.
Moreover, in the first episode, Xu Zishen nearly ended up teamed with Chu Jinghe.
If he hadn't secretly intervened, it would have been him paired with Qin Dingyue.
So, Mu Jincheng didn't quite like Xu Zishen.
"I can dance too," Wen Yan laughed, raising his hand, "Mr. Chu, I count as a sing-and-dance singer!"
Undeniably, Wen Yan's voice was indeed great.
But when it came to dancing, he was quite a bit behind Zhou Jingming, who debuted as a dancer.
Liu Qiang was a bit displeased seeing each of them showing off.
However, other than some acting, she wasn't very good at singing or dancing.
Chu Jinghe laughed, "Of course I know Brother Yan is an expert in this field and is our senior here. I was just thinking, maybe us juniors could see if there's anything we're lacking, and ask the senior for guidance. Brother Yan wouldn't mind, right?"
This made Wen Yan feel completely at ease!
Of those present, Wen Yan was the oldest.
But Wen Yan had a baby face, looking about ten years younger than his actual age.
Standing with Zhou Jingming and Xu Zishen, he fit right in.
"Of course, I wouldn't mind!" Wen Yan not only didn't mind, but he was also very pleased.
Shen Yan sat quietly aside, watching how the female lead displayed her charisma.
Whenever the female lead spoke, everyone seemed to follow her light.
Tsk tsk, truly worthy of being the charming female lead.
Even if she cursed, everyone would automatically interpret it as something nice!
Looking over at the male lead, he was already so smitten with the female lead that he was completely disoriented.
In Shen Yan's view, nobody present was in their right mind.
Then, led by Chu Jinghe's "sweet talk," they formed a team and collaboratively performed a very vivid and dynamic dance.
Who doesn't love good-looking guys?
The fans watching the live broadcast were going absolutely wild.
Once the guys finished, the focus turned to Liu Qiang and Qin Dingyue.
Chu Jinghe took the initiative and sang a song.
It was Wen Yan's song, and after singing, he smilingly asked Wen Yan for a review.
Wen Yan, already totally charmed by the female lead, naturally showered her with praise.
One must admit, the female lead did sing quite well.
Qin Dingyue, having grown up in a theater troupe, was inherently bold and loved adventurous activities.
Casually, she performed a sword dance, unanimously acknowledged by everyone.
When it came to Liu Qiang, she managed a barely passable soft dance.
Just a gesture would suffice.
Mostly it was a presentation of dances.
When it was Shen Yan's turn, Chu Jinghe thoughtfully said, "Shen Yan is the one who debuted the shortest time among us and is the youngest, let's not put too much pressure on her."
Liu Qiang laughed and agreed, "I've seen Shen Yan keeping some talents under wraps for a while, surely she has skills we don't know about! Show us a bit and open our eyes!"
"Yeah, I think Shen Yan can do it, everyone showcased their talent, we can't leave you out," Wen Yan turned around and said with a smile.
Faced with Shen Yan's indifferent gaze, the smile on Wen Yan's face froze instantly.
She was almost scared into choking on herself.
Shen Yan did not refuse either.
Everyone else had performed their talents, she couldn't be an exception.
"Everyone present is my senior, and the talents shown earlier, as the junior, I am ashamed to say I am no match. For me, aside from a bit of acting, there's nothing else I can present."
Upon hearing the words "acting,"
those who had seen the web series Shen Yan acted in couldn't help but twitch their mouths.
Did Shen Yan even have any acting skills?
In their view, she was a vase, beautiful but useless in anything else.
[If I hadn't watched that cringy web series of hers, I might have believed her.]
[I suggest Shen Yan play the role of a fake princess, her true self will surely make it a hit.]
[I suspect how someone of her level even got these show resources, there must be some hidden stories.]
[Just say she got them through shady deals.]
[Waiting for the fake princess to mess up.]
[It's going to be a huge joke! Allow me to laugh...]
Shen Yan's fans saw this and were furious.
Cheering for Shen Yan with encouragement.
The anti-fans popped out to mock them for supporting a vase.
Chu Jinghe slightly curled his lips, expressing his anticipation, "I'm a bit looking forward to it!"
Mu Jincheng showed a disdainful smile.
What talent could Shen Yan have?
She was bound to make a fool of herself.
"Give me an erhu."
Shen Yan suddenly asked the show crew for an erhu.
Director Li, who was personally overseeing the filming, was a bit at a loss, "We didn't prepare an erhu or such an instrument..."
They came seeking survival, so they hadn't brought any instruments.
"I happen to have a ukulele with me!" Xu Zishen suddenly remembered the small guitar in his luggage, "Would that work?"
The last sentence was directed at Shen Yan.
"Couldn't be better," Shen Yan smiled at him, "So I'll borrow it!"
Xu Zishen instructed his assistant to fetch the ukulele.
Chu Jinghe frowned slightly.
She was well aware of her own charm.
Although she lived a middle-class life, ever since she was young, those around her always treated her well, always concurred with her. Her path to stardom was smooth sailing, and even if she encountered problems, there was always someone to help.
Xu Zishen's gaze clearly landed on her just now, yet he was easily charmed by Shen Yan.
Leaving Chu Jinghe with an inexplicable dissatisfaction.
The ukulele was quickly retrieved.
Shen Yan took it and gently strummed it, the sound was clear and bright.
It was evidently not just an ordinary small guitar.
Mu Jincheng saw her action and thought it was just for show.
Chu Jinghe smiled gently, still eagerly watching Shen Yan.
Liu Qiang adjusted her posture, with a hint of a malicious smile at the corner of her mouth.
Others followed suit, staring at Shen Yan.
Shen Yan's fans were anxious.
Being new fans, they certainly had learned about Shen Yan's past, and they really thought she had no notable traits besides her face.
Just as everyone was waiting for Shen Yan to become a laughingstock, her slender fingers plucked the strings, releasing a soothing and refreshing melody flowing slowly from her fingertips.
The gentle smile on Chu Jinghe's face gradually stiffened.
Liu Qiang was directly stunned.
What was this tune?
Strangely... pleasing to hear...
Then, the girl's lips slightly parted, her elegant voice like a spring breeze, soothing and refreshing!
Shen Yan sang a folk song they had never heard before.
The melody carried a subtle, lingering solitude...
The song echoing throughout the room made the tall figure walking in the manor pause.
The manor staff were secretly gathered around a tablet, watching the live stream in the lounge.
The door was half open.
Qi Si stood straight outside, with good vision, he could see the graceful figure on the tablet.
The melody and tune, as if infused with magic, seemed to be enchanting him, making him momentarily unable to move.
For the first time, he realized that the fiancée who constantly insulted him and tried to escape from him actually had such a little talent.
