Seeing Chu Yinlong come down, Jiang Dao, who was reading something interesting, handed his phone over.
Chu Yinlong was also helpless.
He really doesn’t know what these fans think. Every day they shout “marry” in the group. But this time when the matter grew too big they actually learned to make a statement – either the tone of that sentence is weird, or some expression is added, whoever believes it is the real stupid one.
But this style was contagious, and the hot search moved up a couple ranks.
Sure enough, the public relations side saw this situation and called to ask if it was necessary to suppress the hot search.
After thinking for a moment, Chu Yinlong said: “No, let them make trouble.”
After all, his relationship with Jiang Dao is real, and they will need an opportunity to officially announce their relationship in the future. It’s not a bad thing to make a fuss now.
Jiang Dao didn’t take it seriously. He turned off the phone, and said with a smile: “They’ll go crazy when we’re in the same frame again, hehe…”
The national defense propaganda show that Chu Yinlong was signed onto is about to start recording. It is said that a new leader has recently come up and wants to change the originally scheduled traditional publicity into a more popular team variety show.
The name of this new variety show is “Stars in Military Uniform”, and a total of ten young artists have been invited. They will be brought into a real army barracks for a week of military training. Of course, real soldier performances will be interspersed, which is the core propaganda.
As soon as this change came out, artists immediately flocked to it – no matter what the content of the program is, it is a great honor as long as they can show their faces on this show planned by national television.
Chu Yinlong was the first to know. As soon as he heard the news from Director Zhu, he immediately contacted Lu Zhengrong. Longqi Entertainment directly lent a mature variety show shooting and logistics team for free, in exchange for Jiang Dao being one of the guest stars.
“I don’t know who said they would never be a soldier in life.” Chu Yinlong suddenly brought up the old topic.
“Tsk,” Jiang Dao kicked him lightly. “I don’t know who tied me to this pirate ship!”
After speaking, Jiang Dao felt a little regretful. “It would be nice if Brother Yao and Wei Wei could come. This kind of opportunity is quite rare. Jing Yu also just joined a group. Yesterday, he sent a message to me and cried for a long time, saying that he doesn’t want to film and wants to record this variety show instead.”
Chu Yinlong said helplessly: “That’s because they are diligent. Joining a group to film now means their schedules have been arranged for a long time. It’s impossible to turn it down now for a variety show.”
Of course Jiang Dao understood this.
But as a reader of the original book, when encountering a good opportunity, he inevitably wants to pull Zhou Wei and Tang Yao along.
Even without his interference, the two of them are developing well. If he remembers correctly, at this winter’s TV festival, Zhou Wei and Tang Yao will win the Best Actor and Best Newcomer awards. Before Christmas, they will be photographed secretly, and then they will make their relationship public and become a national CP…
Wait?
National CP?
Jiang Dao suddenly remembered the two hot searches he just enjoyed so much, and was at a loss.
Looking at the current situation… this national CP title, it probably won’t fall on Tang Yao and Zhou Wei! Chu Yinlong’s appeal is much higher than that of Tang Yao, and he himself has been on several hot searches.
If they really select a national CP now, chance are he and Chu Yinlong’s “LongDao” will be on the list!
Jiang Dao slapped his forehead suddenly.
“What’s wrong?” Chu Yinlong was startled and couldn’t help smiling. “Why did you hit yourself suddenly?”
“…Nothing.” Jiang Dao shook his head and said casually. “I haven’t had lunch.”
Chu Yinlong: …
It’s already past four o’clock in the afternoon, but he hasn’t eaten lunch?
It took him that long to realize?
…
The recording location of “Stars in Military Uniform” was a recruit training base somewhere in northeast China. Jiang Dao and Chu Yinlong didn’t fly this time, but drove from Yan City with the entire film crew one day earlier.
At noon the next day, the stars invited by the show arrived at the barracks one after another, a total of six men and four women.
Because the barracks were full, they had to live in makeshift military tents next to the basketball court. Fortunately, there was ample space for bunk beds and a row of cabinets.
“But there’s no air conditioner,” Lin Chu, who was also invited, frowned as soon as he entered the tent. “How can we live in a house without air conditioning in August…”
Beside him, Cheng Zhiyi smiled and said, “We are here to endure hardship. How could the military camp provide us with such luxurious equipment as air conditioners? Hey, Brother Long, Xiao Dao, you’re here too!”
Seeing Jiang Dao, Lin Chu suddenly looked alert.
He looked around and saw that the camera equipment hadn’t been set up yet, so he was relieved immediately, and didn’t bother putting on a smile.
Jiang Dao didn’t bother to talk to Lin Chu. Instead he turned his head and asked Chu Yinlong, “Which bed do you want?”
Chu Yinlong threw his backpack on the top bunk in the middle bed: “I’ll get you top, and you get bottom.”
“Tsk,” Jiang Dao said. “Saying it like this, is this the side effect of frying CP?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Zhiyi couldn’t help laughing. However, he didn’t dare to go too far in front of Chu Yinlong, and held himself back somewhat.
At this moment, a pretty face came in outside the tent door. It was a female artist Jiang Dao knew – Yi Bailu.
“Oh! Brother Long is here so early?” She rushed forward to greet them with hands behind her back. “Long time no see, the last time we met was when I was recording Eat!”
Chu Yinlong smiled at her out of politeness, and nodded his head.
Yi Bailu immediately smiled and said, “Brother Long should be our squad leader! I think you’re the most dignified squad leader among us, Brother Long.”
Hearing this, Jiang Dao raised his eyebrows and looked at Yi Bailu. Seeing the expression on her face, he immediately knew what she was up to.
Thinking back to the time when they were recording Eat!, Yi Bailu was a little bit fond of Chu Yinlong, but he didn’t care about it at first and he forgot about those things.
“Sister Bailu!” Jiang Dao had no intention of hiding in silence. He jumped out on the spot, tilted his head and stopped between Yi Bailu and Chu Yinlong, and said with a smile, “Why are you only saying hello to Teacher Chu? I was there too!”
“Oh, Jiang Dao…” Yi Bailu’s smile was flawless. “Of course I remember you!”
Seeing her look at Chu Yinlong, Jiang Dao raised his head and glanced outside the tent. “Is that the female barracks over there? Why doesn’t Sister Bailu call everyone over here to get acquainted? Our side… oh, the last two people are here too.”
The last two male artists have just arrived. Unaware of what just happened, seeing Jiang Dao stretch out his hand to introduce himself, they immediately returned the gesture.
“Hello, my name is Jiang1different Jiang Qiulin, an actor.” The dark-skinned man smiled and shook hands with Jiang Dao.
“Hello, my name is Yuwen Feiyang. Everyone can call me Yuwen or Feiyang. Oh, I’m a singer.”
Immediately after, Chu Yinlong introduced himself very cooperatively, and Cheng Zhiyi also greeted everyone. Although Lin Chu was not convinced by Jiang Dao, he also knew that he couldn’t seem too out of place at this time, and obediently stepped forward.
Several female artists over there saw this scene from a distance and immediately gathered around.
Although everyone can basically match each other by face and name, the self-introduction session has already begun, so several female artists did not put on any airs either.
“Hello everyone, my name is Zhang Xiaoyuan, I’m a member of the girl group Kealas.” The girl with a ponytail spoke first.
“Sun Qi. Singer.” The short-haired girl on the side also spoke very coolly.
“Hello everyone, I’m Wu Rui.” The sweet-looking female artist waved to everyone with a smile, and glanced at Jiang Dao without a trace, with a little curiosity and inquiry in her eyes.
Jiang Dao didn’t know why until Chu Yinlong reminded him in his ear: “Zhu Yao is now working as an assistant agent on her team.”
It turned out that there was still such a relationship, Jiang Dao suddenly realized.
…
Everyone got together and chatted for a while. Finally a staff member of the program team called everyone in, gave some precautions, and finally gave everyone a set of standard military supplies.
After lunch, filming officially began.
The itinerary on the first day is simple. The instructors did not take everyone to the training ground, but directly announced the arrangement for this afternoon — visiting the barracks for recruits to learn how to organize internal affairs.
Jiang Dao, who had actually been a soldier and been to the battlefield, was full of confidence. Who knows, when he stared at the neatly stashed bedding in the barracks, he was suddenly shocked.
One of my fav scenes is coming up!
