Internet moguls are being held hostage by the entertainment system!

Chapter 473 Truth or Dare Icebreaker Game

After lunch, the guests of Peach Blossom Village gathered in the barn and began their first self-introduction meeting.

Actually, many people had already introduced themselves during the meal, so this round is more like having those who didn't talk much introduce themselves.

"Hello everyone, I am Zhou Zi. I used to be an actor, and now I am a businessman who focuses on organic agricultural products and am here to participate in the program."

Dressed in all black and wearing a hat, Zhou Zi addressed the crowd.

He seemed detached and didn't try to get the spotlight.

As a veteran actor who retired from the world of fame and fortune, experienced a reversal in public opinion, and had no intention of returning to the entertainment industry, this reaction is not surprising.

"Hello everyone, my name is Wang Sulong. One day, I was strolling down the street when I was discovered by a talent scout. Perhaps because I'm handsome, many of my works aren't very famous..."

As she was talking, Wang Sulong herself started laughing.

He has a round face and small eyes. His appearance is somewhat cute but not handsome. His self-introduction is clearly intended to ease the atmosphere with humor.

"Brother Long, I've heard your songs!"

Meng Ziyi boldly played the straight man, preventing Wang Sulong from ending the conversation with awkward laughter.

During lunch, Meng Ziyi had already left a deep impression on everyone present, and her current support has made Wang Sulong's impression of her even better.

"Hello everyone, my name is Yoko Rame..."

"Hello everyone, my name is Li Xueqin..."

"Hello everyone, my name is Yang Di..."

"..."

The reality of the entertainment industry is multifaceted. Even during the self-introduction segment, unknown amateurs and comedians will receive relatively less feedback.

Other popular female celebrities like Dilraba and Nezha, even if they don't say anything during their self-introductions, will still have people willing to chime in.

After the first 14 people finished their introductions, Ren Ke, who hadn't spoken much in the team, was left until the end.

"My name is Ren Ke. I'm the lead singer and guitarist of a band called Five People. I also write my own songs..."

Ren Ke's voice had a distinct accent, and none of the people present knew the band he was talking about, so they didn't know how to play the supporting role.

Just when the situation became awkward, the expert in saving the day stepped in.

"Brother Ren, how many songs have you written?"

Ren Ke paused for a moment, looking hesitantly at Meng Ziyi, who had spoken up to save the day.

"I've written nearly 100 poems."

"I'll look it up later. Someone once said that to understand a person, you should read their writing. I'll take a look at your writing later..."

The self-introduction segment concluded smoothly thanks to Meng Ziyi's smooth-talking.

However, at the conference table, apart from a few indifferent people, everyone else was looking at each other blankly, feeling that they were still very unfamiliar with each other.

Meng Ziyi noticed this reaction. As the nominal producer of the program, she herself had the desire to make the program a success.

Meanwhile, her previous speeches had earned her a certain degree of approval from those present.

Therefore, in the current situation, she is indeed the most suitable person to break the deadlock and help everyone get to know each other quickly.

"Well, everyone's already introduced themselves, how about we play a game?"

What game is it?

Dilraba, the straight man in the comedy duo, is now online.

Before coming to the show, this group of sisters had already talked privately and knew when to play the straight man.

To avoid making the other guests feel strange, Dilraba barely spoke to Meng Ziyi after arriving, which also prevented her supporting role from seeming too scripted.

Upon hearing the response, Meng Ziyi continued as she had planned, "Let's play a truth or dare game. Each of us will answer three questions, and that way we can get to know each other quickly."

Before the second comedian could even get into character, several reluctant voices of opposition arose at the conference table.

"no need."

"I don't think it's necessary."

"I don't really want to participate in games when we don't even know each other and don't feel familiar with each other."

The objections were raised by Zhou Zi, Chen Duling, and Wang Chuanjun. Among them, Chen Duling was a traitor, and Wang Chuanjun directly said that he did not want to participate.

Guo Qilin, Lamu Yangzi, Li Xueqin, Yang Di, and Wang Sulong, these comedians, were actually quite eager to try, but due to their own status, they felt that someone needed to take the lead before they dared to speak up.

I think it's a good idea!

Before the second comedian could even step in, the unexpected reinforcement, Song Dandan, was the first to give his approval.

"I think that's okay too."

Tian Xinwei, the second straight man, has finally appeared.

“That’s right! After dinner, we can play a game so everyone can get to know each other faster. If we get stuck here, we won’t even be able to continue our meeting.”

Zhou Ye quickly followed suit, and her reasoned explanation became the catalyst for the comedian to speak.

The meeting table was filled with unanimous agreement. Chen Duling, who had previously voiced her opposition, even staged a classic defection, leaving Zhou Zi and Wang Chuanjun unable to object further.

Seeing that everyone had reached a consensus, Meng Ziyi continued, "OK, let's start with me. There will be three questions in total. After that, we'll move on to the next person. After we're all done, we'll vote to elect the first Peach Blossom Village Chief. How about that?"

Everyone agreed that the suggestion to get to know the area better before choosing a dock manager was indeed a good one.

However, when asked what specific questions to ask, everyone fell silent. "Let me start with one: Ziyi, why did you come to Peach Blossom Village?"

Chen Duling raised her hand and asked a question that was absolutely correct.

Everyone immediately understood and felt that this question could be used as a starting point.

Without hesitation, Meng Ziyi said, "The production team invited me, so I came! Haha, if there's any other reason, it's just that I feel this program is a rare opportunity to meet many new friends."

Why did you become the producer of the show?

The difficulty of the problem suddenly increased several levels.

Everyone turned to look and found that the questioner was actually Guo Qilin... Considering his specialty, this question didn't seem so surprising.

Meng Ziyi paused for a moment, then admitted, "The original plan for this program was designed by me (with Chen Xiu's help), and then it was submitted to the company for discussion. The company thought the idea was good and decided to do it. I am just a nominal producer, no different from everyone else."

"Oh, I didn't know you were such a talented woman, Sister Meng!"

"That's right, I'm very cultured."

Guo Qilin smiled so hard her eyes narrowed into slits, easily deflecting the awkward topic.

"Would you like to be the dock commander?"

Reba picked up the conversation and asked a standard question.

Meng Ziyi thought about it carefully before refusing: "I don't want to. I can't be a good dock manager."

"OK, it's my turn."

Hot Bar took over, allowing the game to proceed smoothly.

The first two questions given to her, which were why she came to Peach Blossom Village and whether she was willing to be the village head, yielded results similar to those given by Meng Ziyi.

When Nazar asked the third question, the tone suddenly changed.

How did you and your boyfriend meet?

The question had barely been posed when the comedians around started fanning the flames.

Wow, how dare you ask such a question!?

"Can I ask that?"

Do I have to answer the question "Do I have to answer the truth"?

"..."

The atmosphere at the conference table was exceptionally lively. The awkwardness between everyone was quickly dispelled by jokes, and then everyone quickly quieted down and stared at the hot bar.

Dilraba bit her lip lightly, glancing at the beauty mark under her eye on her left cheek, and instantly came up with her explanation.

“At that time, my grandmother was sick. My boyfriend arranged some things for me so that I could go back to see my grandmother. That’s how we met.”

Reba's statement was vague; she didn't mention the specific time or what specific help she provided.

Based on these facts alone, netizens do not yet have the ability to follow the clues and find the suspects.

Upon hearing her answer, Meng Ziyi and Tian Xinwei both showed expressions of understanding, while Chen Duling and Zhou Ye pricked up their ears and silently memorized the method.

As fate would have it, after Dilraba answered the three questions, Nezha was sent to the interrogation platform according to the game rules.

However, Reba didn't rush to ask a question.

She already knew about Nezha's situation; she even had several sets of Nezha emojis on her phone. She might as well give the right to ask someone else the question…

"Sister Nezha, how did you and your boyfriend meet?"

Tian Xinwei asked a question with a fake smile, using the same question that Naza had just asked Reba to ask her.

Just as Naza opened her mouth to speak, she looked up and saw more than a dozen pairs of eyes staring intently at her, with Meng Ziyi and Tian Xinwei being the most eager.

Nezha swallowed hard, his eyes darting around as a dreamlike memory surfaced.

“My boyfriend and I met during university military training. He… he left school soon after to start working.”

Nezha's sudden change of tune came from a "reminder" from Dilraba under the table.

Through this linguistic montage, others who don't know the specifics will simply assume that Nezha's boyfriend is a senior student at the Beijing Film Academy who went out to find acting roles during her freshman year military training, without making any connection to someone who is also a freshman.

"Nezha, do you know Chen... do you know who I'm talking about? He's also from Beijing Film Academy, right?"

Li Xueqin stepped forward and asked further questions.

She was an uncontrollable guest, but her questions successfully piqued the interest of everyone present.

The "Chen" she mentioned, "Do you know who I'm talking about?" is now on the same level as Ma Yun and Pony Ma. On variety shows, you can't just mention his name casually, but everyone knows who he is.

Nezha pursed his lips awkwardly: "I know the person you're talking about, he's my classmate..."

"So how's your relationship?"

Yoko asked a question, and according to the rules of the game, she would be the next person to be asked, but now everyone was more eager to know Nazar's answer.

Under the watchful eyes of more than a dozen pairs of people, the dreamy memories that lingered in her eyes became even stronger. Reba kept "reminding" her under the table not to let anything slip.

"The person you asked about has a great personality and is friendly to everyone, but he rarely really connects with others. While my classmates were discussing getting roles and signing contracts, he was always alone at the back of the classroom writing proposals on his laptop..."

The more Nezha talked, the more engrossed everyone became.

In a daze, Meng Ziyi seemed to see the figure sitting in the back row of the classroom, diligently typing on the keyboard and writing a proposal. The light and shadow were cast on him, witnessing this journey...
