Variety shows are crazy but don't cause internal conflict; I'm proud to drive others crazy

Chapter 71 Can I stay at your house? Even as a cockroach.
The next second, Liu Qingyan posted another photo of a 500-square-meter villa in the suburbs of the capital. He was lying by the infinity pool, sunbathing.

Liu Qingyan: [At home.]

Jiang Nanxi: [Is this your home?]

Liu Qingyan: [One of their homes.]

Jiang Nanxi: [Can I live in your house? Even if it's as a cockroach.]

Liu Qingyan: [I politely declined.]

Jiang Nanxi: [Can't you just treat me like you have a pet? Then transfer me two million yuan to spend. I know you rich people are willing to spend money on your pets.]

Liu Qingyan: [But you can't keep cockroaches as pets.]

Jiang Nanxi: [Really not? I'm sexy, obedient, and cute, and most importantly, I'm pregnant—I can give you a whole litter of little cockroaches. And with me, you'll never have to be strong-willed again.]

Liu Qingyan: [This is the first time I've been unable to look directly at the word "pregnancy."]

Jiang Nanxi: [Open the door, your Qiang is here! [Excitedly pulls down her underwear and kicks the door open.jpg]]

Liu Qingyan: [Teacher Jiang, please don't do this...]

Jiang Nanxi: [Hehehehehe.]

Director: [Have you guys forgotten this is a group chat? No talking about anything unrelated to filming! @SexyMotherCockroach @18YearOldPureBoy]

Director: [What's with your nicknames? Do you even remember you're celebrities? We'll be communicating via phone during filming, and the chat logs will be shown on the live stream! Hurry up and change them to more normal names!]

Jiang Nanxi: [What gives you the right to discriminate against cockroaches?]

Liu Qingyan: [Why do you discriminate against college students?]

director:????

Are you two crazy?!

what! ! !
Having Jiang Nanxi, this lunatic, was already a headache for him enough, but what's wrong with Liu Qingyan?!
The director lay on his office chair with a look of utter despair. He hadn't even started filming yet and they'd already caused this mess. What would happen to these two once filming started?

However, the director felt a little better when he thought about the guest stars invited in the first episode.

This guest star is an outstanding actor in the industry, highly educated, professionally skilled, and enjoys outdoor sports as well as teaching young people.

Yes, he just likes to teach others.

This guest is Hou Xiao, who won numerous awards and became a film emperor in his forties. However, his acting style is very different from Liu Qingyan's. He usually plays leaders or superiors in period dramas. In addition, he has a high status in various performing arts organizations.

Therefore, when he participates in variety shows, he always likes to point fingers at others. He often finds fault with some young actors and lectures them, which has earned him the reputation of being one of the most disliked variety show guests among netizens.

In addition to the original cast, the director also invited Hou Xiao as a guest star, just to stir things up.

The other guests are all young people, and each of them has their own ideas, which is exactly the kind of young people that Hou Xiao dislikes the most. Conflicts are bound to break out when filming begins.

Conflict is what makes things interesting!
The director sighed, "Hopefully, Hou Xiao, this shrewd fellow, can handle these people."

Filming for the show has begun, and the guests have arrived at the entrance to a vast mountain range in the south.

There is a small town on the outermost edge of the mountain range.

There are guesthouses in the town, and the production team rented one to gather the guests there.

The director told them, "Since you've all participated in 'Retreat to the Countryside,' I don't need to introduce you again. The theme of this new program is wilderness survival, which will be more thrilling, exciting, and physically demanding than the last program. You'll need to traverse the nearby rainforest mountain range within two weeks. There are unknown creatures, unpredictable weather, and mysterious, unknown tribes there. Also, the magnetic field deep in the rainforest is said to be a bit problematic, so you might encounter some indescribable beings!"

After the director finished speaking, he had someone give the guests a waiver of their right to life or death.

The director said slyly, "If everyone signs this waiver, the production team will provide rescue. However, if an emergency occurs and rescue is impossible, resulting in casualties, the production team will not be held responsible. Please consider this carefully. If you don't want to sign the waiver, you can withdraw now."

But I must add something else: the guests who successfully complete the challenge will share a five million yuan grand prize, with the top performer receiving an additional five million yuan!

Jiang Nanxi immediately let out a villainous "hehehehe" laugh and signed the life-or-death contract.

He then shouted, "You've got nothing to lose, let's get right to it! Let's get started!"

other people:"……"

The other guests hesitated for a while before signing the waiver one after another.

After the signing was completed, the director's voice came through again.

"Yesterday, everyone chose a color in the group chat, and each guest will receive a signal flare representing their own color. If you can't survive in the rainforest, you can immediately fire the signal flare into the sky, and the production team will send a rescue team to pick you up."

But please remember, once the signal flare is launched, it signifies abandoning the challenge and leaving the rainforest. Please use it with caution!

The director had the staff send out special signal flares to the guests, and then looked at Hou Xiao.

"Before the challenge begins, let's welcome our guest star for this episode, Mr. Hou Xiao. Mr. Hou Xiao is not only a well-known performing artist, but also loves outdoor sports and has extensive camping experience. Therefore, Mr. Hou Xiao will serve as the team leader for this challenge."

Trekking through the rainforest is dangerous, and Professor Hou Xiao has made considerable preparations for it. To avoid accidents in the rainforest and situations where timely rescue is not possible, all guests are advised to follow Professor Hou Xiao's instructions and not act on their own.

After explaining the rules of the challenge, the director snapped his fingers and announced that the challenge had officially begun.

The challenge of traversing the rainforest begins filming at a guesthouse, where the guests stay overnight and then purchase necessary hiking gear in a nearby town.

As the team leader, Hou Xiao had everyone go and buy the supplies needed for survival after filming started.

But after everyone bought the items as requested, Hou Xiao started nitpicking.

He first said that the color of the windbreaker Liu Qingyan bought was not nice, that it was not a well-known brand, and that the quality was not guaranteed. Then he said that the compressed biscuits and self-heating rice Jiang Nanxi bought were too unpalatable.

She also said that the vegetable packets in self-heating rice are fried with gutter oil, and that the rice in self-heating rice is made by pressing together glue and broken rice. She told her to buy some convenient, delicious, and hygienic food.

Shen Lan bought a box of instant noodles, and Hou Xiao said that the pickled cabbage in the Lao Tan pickled cabbage instant noodles he bought was made by stomping on the cabbage, and that people should never eat such things.

He told Shen Lan to throw away the instant noodles and buy some fresh noodles, and to find a way to keep the fresh noodles for a few more days.

Shen Lan asked in confusion, "We're going hiking, and we don't have a refrigerator. How can we keep fresh noodles for several days? They'll probably go bad by the next day."

Hou Xiao: "If you don't have a refrigerator, you have to think of other ways to preserve it. People come up with solutions; if you don't think about it, you can't do it."

Shen Lan: ? ? ? ?

Just as Hou Xiaogang finished speaking, he heard the sizzling sound of self-heating rice steaming. He turned around and saw Jiang Nanxi showing off a Cantonese sausage self-heating rice.

Hou Xiao couldn't help but say, "Didn't I tell you not to eat this kind of self-heating rice? The oil and rice used in it are terrible; it can cause cancer. Don't eat it!"

Jiang Nanxi: "So what? I was a corpse to begin with. Didn't you notice that from the moment you saw me, I was emanating a faint aura of death?"

Hou Xiao: ?
