1786 The Old Liang Family Residence (4)

The other five were also very excited and happy to get to know an all-rounded movie queen like Song Yanru. Seeing that Film Empress Song’s attitude was the same toward all of them, some were happy and some had different thoughts, but everyone ultimately had broad smiles on their faces.

After everyone greeted each other, the chief scriptwriter also started to talk about some of the details of the variety show. However, there would be detailed notes provided each time a mission was issued, so the chief scriptwriter didn’t have much to say.

For example, filming times would be flexible – for tonight, they would start filming at 12am.

After dinner, the director would assign the missions and provide detailed information to each celebrity in advance.

After the chief scriptwriter invited everyone to sit down, he continued, “Because this variety show is filmed mostly at night, everyone should rest more during the day.

“This variety show will be filmed like a livestream. There are cameras in and outside the old Liang family residence. You can do whatever you want during the day. After the missions are handed out at night, everyone will need to work hard. The game will be different every night. In addition to the eight guests, one director from our production team will stay back, and everyone else will leave by tonight.

“I hope that the filming goes smoothly during these five nights in the old Liang family residence!”

As the chief scriptwriter spoke, the eight guests had different reactions. Men were brave and usually liked to play adventure games. So, when they heard that the show would only start filming in the middle of the night, the four men felt that it should be quite exciting and fun.

As for the four female guests, they had long known that this variety show would be filmed at night, but when they heard that it would only be filmed after midnight, and without knowing what sort of horror game they would be playing, they were a little nervous and timid. However, the first few seasons of this “Late Night Horror Game” show were quite popular and had a good reputation. Many people wanted to go on this show, so with the exception of Song Yanru, the other three female guests were no longer as timid and were eager to give it a shot. They all hoped that they could stand out on this show and become popular.

“Okay, if you have any questions, you can ask them now. I’ll answer them!” the chief scriptwriter said.

The timid Xiao Ying couldn’t help but ask, “Are you planning to leave by tonight and leave the rest of us here?”

The chief scriptwriter nodded and replied, “The rules of the variety show are like this: I hope everyone can get along well for the next five nights. We’ve cleaned up the kitchen, living room and bedrooms for everyone. There is a market just outside the lane. You can choose to cook or eat outside!”

“Alright!”

“Do we have to stay here for five nights?” someone asked again.

With everyone asking such boring questions, Chi Shuyan patted her cousin’s shoulder and said she would take a look around.

Qi Hao hurriedly whispered, “Sister-in-law, I’ll go with you.”

It was too boring here; Qi Hao had thought that filming a variety show would be quite fun.

Chi Shuyan didn’t refuse and nodded.

No one noticed Chi Shuyan and Qi Hao leaving. He Liuqing’s attention was all on Song Yanru, and she didn’t notice the two of them leave.

The two went out and came back not long after. By the time they returned to the large front courtyard, the chief scriptwriter had already left. At that moment, the eight guests were busy getting to know each other.

As a film empress, Song Yanru was the most popular here, so she was naturally the center of attention as most of the guests tried to curry favor with her. Song Yanru was indeed a shrewd person who had been in the circle for a long time. Even though she was feeling impatient, she still had a smile on her face. She knew very well that some of these people had pulled strings to get on this variety show. They weren’t very famous, but they had quite powerful backers, so she didn’t want to cause trouble.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Song Yanru planned to go back to her room to rest first. As soon as they heard that Song Yanru was leaving, Xiao Ying and Yun Yiyi immediately said that they would do the same. They said, “Sister Song, why don’t we go back to our rooms together?”

The two spoke almost in unison, drawing everyone’s attention.

Xiao Ying and Yun Yi traded measured looks. They were in a hurry to befriend Song Yanru, and Song Yanru couldn’t refuse, so she could only agree to go back with the both of them.

Before the three of them could leave, however, Du Zhong suddenly interjected and said that he also wanted to go back to his room. Before Song Yanru could agree, He Liuqing whispered in her ear, “Yanru, take the initiative to draw Fang Yu in. Fang Yu has a powerful background. His father is a genuine director in the industry and has won several awards. If we want to get Old Fang’s next movie, it’s best to get close to his son first.”

As soon as Song Yanru heard her manager’s words, her attitude immediately changed and she took the initiative to invite Fang Yu to go back with them. Unfortunately, Fang Yu was excited and said that he wasn’t in a hurry to go back to his room as he wanted to take a look around.

Fang Yu had a good relationship with the capable Lu Ningwen. Although Lu Ningwen wasn’t too famous and could only be considered a C-list actor, he had once acted in a movie with Fang Yu. The two of them didn’t have a good or bad relationship, and they weren’t close, but they usually greeted each other when they saw each other, let alone now that they were so many other people. Fang Yu only knew Lu Ningwen here, and was more familiar with him. So, without thinking, he invited Lu Ningwen to go with him for a walk!

“Okay!” Lu Ningwen nodded in agreement. After all, he only knew Fang Yu as well here.

In the end, Song Yanru and He Liuqing could only watch Fang Yu and Lu Ningwen leave. Song Yanru was fine, but He Liuqing was so angry at Fang Yu for being tactless.

However, he was Old Fang’s son. No matter how angry He Liuqing was, she couldn’t afford to offend him.

In the end, Song Yanru, Xiao Ying, Yun Yiyi and Du Zhong went back to their rooms together, while Lu Wenjing and Zhou Chengfei went back together. It wasn’t that Zhou Chengfei didn’t want to curry favor with Film Empress Song; it was just that there were too many people around, and he wouldn’t be able to stand out. There was no point in being in a rush to throw himself at her and give her a good impression of him.

Only then did Zhou Chengfei reluctantly return to his room.

Qi Hao, who had been treated as invisible, took in everyone’s actions from the side. He lamented to his sister-in-law, “Sister-in-law, why do I feel that life in this circle is so f*cking tiring? Each one is a bigger schemer than the other. As expected of this circle. I’ve seen too many of these sorts of people!” historical

“Okay, let’s go back to our rooms. I have to check in with your cousin first.” Chi Shuyan wasn’t in the mood to pay attention to the others. Compared with paying attention to these things, she might as well go back to her room and call Qi Zhenbai, lest he thought that she had forgotten about him.
