Chapter 71: Exposed
After the mentors finished their questions, the recording was finally declared over. The audience went home, the stars went back to the hotel, and the contestants could sleep.
The program team knew that everyone was sleepy, so the subsequent recording arrangements would simply wait until tomorrow and let the contestants go back to the dormitory directly.
Many of the contestants who were eliminated earlier had already packed their luggage. Some were crying, some had already gone to bed, and some even wanted to leave overnight. Because of safety issues, if there was a problem walking at night, it would probably be blamed on the program team, so those who wanted to leave were stopped.
The group of people were together for only three days, and most of the time they were practicing on their own, just getting to know each other. Xu Rui was so sleepy that he naturally didn't have that much sympathy to comfort the eliminated contestants. He went back to see the message from Yan Ran cheering him up, but considering that it was more than three o'clock in the morning, he didn't go back and fell asleep.
After canceling the morning exercise, Xu Rui slept peacefully. He thought he could rest for a while, but he didn't expect to be called up at 8:30 in the morning.
"What are you doing?" Xu Rui looked at Zhao Yan who was knocking at the door with sleepy eyes. Li Yi's quilt was neatly folded next to him, and he didn't know where he went.
Zhao Yan saw that Xu Rui was dressed tightly, and felt a little sorry in her heart. She explained to him: "You should get up quickly and clean up, then eat and put on makeup, because we have to shoot commercials."
Xu Rui said weakly: "You mean I was selected by the sponsor dad?"
Zhao Yan smiled: "Smart."
"Where is Li Yi?"
"He went to the practice room. The proposition of the next issue will be announced tonight. You should pay attention to the official blog and check the voting data of netizens. If the difference in voting is large enough, you can start preparing in advance without waiting for the announcement."
"Oh, let me see." Xu Rui was about to take out his mobile phone.
Zhao Yan took a look and said quickly: "Don't look at it, hurry up and get ready to eat and put on makeup!"
"You just asked me to pay attention to it."
"Take time to pay attention to it, take time!" Zhao Yan emphasized, knowing that Xu Rui did it on purpose because he was woken up.
"Ah..." Xu Rui sent Yan Ran a "good morning", then got up and washed up, followed Zhao Yan to eat and put on makeup, and started shooting an advertisement at 10 o'clock. It was a soda water advertisement.
There were a total of six people participating in the shooting. He and Sun Xueting were assigned to a group. According to the results of the first round, Sun Xueting would definitely not be selected, but she had the best appearance among the remaining female contestants. She had a cute face with two dimples when she smiled, which was very suitable for shooting advertisements on camera.
One group is one group. Xu Rui didn't care too much. The shooting was to follow the route required by the director and pass the water when crossing. The process was very simple. I thought it would end smoothly, but I didn't expect that this girl couldn't get into the state for a long time. It took seven or eight times to satisfy the director.
"OK, your smile is very natural in the end, don't let go." The director said to Sun Xueting casually after shooting.
Unexpectedly, this girl actually put the blame on him: "Director, I can't laugh. As soon as Xu Rui handed me the water, I felt sad and wanted to cry."
Director: "???"
Others: "???"
Xu Rui: "..."
Does this girl have PTSD? Is handing me the water a triggering condition?
Sun Xueting realized that her sudden words might cause misunderstanding, and hurriedly explained: "I was joking. The rehearsal was too stressful before, and Xu Rui just passed by and handed me a bottle of water. I couldn't help but think of my mood at that time."
Everyone suddenly realized it.
Xu Rui didn't say anything. When the crowd dispersed, he slowed down and landed next to Sun Xueting: "I didn't pass you water."
"I know, if I say I thought you would pass me water, but you drank it yourself, not only would I be embarrassed, but everyone would also say you were not gentlemanly." After Sun Xueting finished speaking, she saw Xu Rui's surprised expression, and was stunned for a moment. She probably understood why he was surprised, and hurriedly said, "You don't think I have a low EQ, do you? I am a little outspoken when I am emotional, but I am still very wise when I am calm!"
"Yeah, it's really wise." Xu Rui nodded and walked away quickly. This girl was obviously not compatible with him.
Sun Xueting was very happy to get approval. After a while, she paused and fell into deep thought: "Isn't he implying something to me?"
It should have been finished in half an hour, but it was delayed to an hour. The makeup and shooting consumed the morning. Xu Rui felt that he had done nothing in the past half day, and it was time for dinner again.
He went to the cafeteria to order food, took his plate and found a seat by himself. He didn't join the other contestants who were eating in the cafeteria. The main reason was that he wanted to check his phone. It would be impolite to sit there without chatting and stare at the phone. There would be no problem if he sat alone.
He didn't expect that his action would attract a little criticism.
"I feel that Xu Rui is a bit cold."
"I think he is easy to get along with in "Falling in Love at First Sight."
"Don't you understand what's happening in the camera? Maybe he looks down on us."
This was a bit sour, and seeing that no one agreed, the person who spoke kept silent.
With the strength shown by Xu Rui, most people still want to get along with him, just in case they can benefit from him in the future.
Xu Rui didn't know that someone was talking about him at all. He opened the official blog and found the voting post published in the early morning.
There are two voting channels, one is the official blog, and the other is the program comment area of "Original New Generation" on the KuMeow platform.
The voting post did not show which mentor came up with the proposition, so as to prevent mentors with many fans such as Tang Bie and Bai Maojie from leading the vote every time.
From the current voting results, the topic of "views on the entertainment industry" is the most popular. There is no way. The audience is just watching the fun and not afraid of big trouble. They have heard enough of love songs. The topics of inspiration and growth experience are good. There are also fun topics such as writing about animals, which are more attractive, but they are not exciting enough.
Looking at the disparate number of votes, Xu Rui knew that it was exactly as Zhao Yan said. There was no need to wait for the announcement in the evening. The result was obvious.
He did not read the official blog comments and continued to flip through them. After a while, the latest revelations from an entertainment self-media account attracted his attention.
These posts usually list the names to be exposed first. Xu Rui found that his own name was on it. How could he not click on it?
"Feng Yao is currently negotiating a contract renewal with his agency. Several companies want to poach him, but he is quite grateful and will not leave Huading.
Zhang Ru, after becoming famous, he became arrogant. He only wears all his clothes once and never rides in a car that costs less than 500,000 yuan.
Pan Guangping will participate in an indoor variety show recently. He may choose to go the variety show route in the future.
…
Xu Rui, after becoming famous for his "first sight CP" in "Falling in Love at First Sight", signed a multi-year contract with Shenghua Entertainment. His relationship with Yan Ran is not as good as the one in the show. They are so good together, they are just temporarily cooperating to maximize their benefits, and they will probably go their separate ways soon.
Yan Ran is preparing to shoot a movie, and has no time to fall in love, but she must maintain the popularity of "At First Sight CP" to promote the movie later. If the movie box office is good, she will probably break up the CP. "
Looking at the last two pieces of news about him and Yan Ran, the tone of their words made Xu Rui a little confused. After coming to his senses, he quickly copied the link and sent it to Yan Ran: "Come on, come and see the sand sculpture!"
