Chinese Entertainment: Top-Tier Boyfriends of Young Actresses

Chapter 108 Wang Churan: I Missed You

On the afternoon of November 17, the crew of "Oh My General" flew to Changsha to prepare for the recording of "Happy Camp".

Wang Churan sat by the window, her gaze somewhat unfocused.

Sitting next to her, Ma Sichun was flipping through a fashion magazine. After a few pages, she caught a glimpse of Wang Churan's expression and stopped to ask, "What's wrong, Churan? You've seemed distracted the whole way. Are you nervous?"

Wang Churan came to her senses and nodded: "Yes, Sister Sichun, I heard that this show likes to prank people, is that true?"

""

She had heard Su Yu complain about these variety shows countless times, saying that they were all scripted and that participating in them was quite uncomfortable. Now, all she could think about was Su Yu's disgusted expression that said, "Variety shows are really boring."

Ma Sichun was amused by her overly worried expression.

She reached out and gently grasped Wang Churan's wrist, her voice soft: "Don't be nervous, just treat it as a game to relax. Teacher He and the others are really nice, they take special care of newcomers, they won't deliberately make things difficult for you. Don't worry, I'm here for you."

I will definitely take care of you on the show, and I will make sure you can handle things on your own.

Ma Sichun is a regular guest on "Happy Camp". She appeared on the show before to promote "The Left Ear" and "Soulmate", so she is quite familiar with the program.

Sheng Yilun, who was sitting on the other side of the aisle, also heard their conversation. He leaned over and said encouragingly, "Don't be nervous, Chu Ran. Our crew is all here. There's nothing to be afraid of."

Sheng Yilun has a close relationship with Lü Haojiji, Wang Churan's boss. In his eyes, Wang Churan is a newcomer under Lü Haojiji, so it is only right that he takes good care of her.

Wang Churan nodded gratefully at him.

As if suddenly remembering something, Ma Sichun leaned back in her chair, her tone tinged with a touch of melancholy: "It's a pity Su Yu didn't come this time. If he had been here, the ratings for this episode would probably have exploded."

Upon hearing Su Yu's name, Wang Churan immediately perked up and explained on behalf of her boyfriend, "Su Yu is filming and is too busy with work to find the time. However, he told me that he can connect with us by phone on the show!"

Ma Sichun watched her protective behavior with a smile and couldn't help but tease, "You're quite protective of him. Of course I know he's busy; he's the hottest person in the Chinese entertainment industry right now, it's hard for him not to be busy. But he's really lucky; he's become so popular in just one year, that's amazing!"

Sheng Yilun nodded, his tone tinged with admiration: "Indeed, when we were on set, I felt that Su Yu was no ordinary person. He was serious about acting, quick-witted, and got along with everyone. I never expected him to rise to prominence so quickly."

On November 18, at the recording site of "Happy Camp".

In addition to Ma Sichun, Sheng Yilun, and Wang Churan from the drama "Oh My General," this episode also features Pan Yueming, Wu Zun, Chen Weiting, and others.

In the backstage dressing room, the host, Mr. He, took the initiative to greet the guests and chatted with them a few times.

Since the script had already been finalized, he naturally knew that the person chosen for the phone call segment was Su Yu, who was currently the hottest rising star. The show's production team naturally hoped to ride on his popularity.

"By the way, who will be connecting with Su Yu on the phone?" Teacher He glanced at the people present.

"Me! Me! Me!" Wang Churan immediately raised her hand, then realized she had been too enthusiastic, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she lowered her hand to add, "I got along better with Brother Su Yu when we were on set."

Ma Sichun and Sheng Yilun exchanged a glance, both with a knowing smile on their faces, but neither of them said anything.

Having been in the entertainment industry for decades, Teacher He has seen it all. Seeing Wang Churan's possessive attitude, he immediately guessed what was going on.

He didn't say anything, but nodded meaningfully, his tone carrying a hint of gentle teasing: "Then Chu Ran will connect via video call, right? Let me think... we can have Chu Ran lose the game segment, and then punish her by making her call a male friend. That way, the connection won't seem too abrupt. What do you think?"

Wang Churan's eyes lit up, and she nodded quickly. This was a good idea; it would allow them to connect without arousing suspicion from the audience.

The game segment came up quickly in the program.

This round features a classic segment from "Happy Camp": "Who is the Spy?"

Each guest draws a card, and one person's word is different from the others. Everyone takes turns describing their word in one sentence, and then votes to find the "undercover agent".

Wang Churan drew the word "first love," while the others drew the word "unrequited love."

After several rounds, Wang Churan's weakness was caught by the experienced He Jiong. She added the word "sweet" to her description, while the other guests' descriptions tended to be "bitter" and "unspeakable".

The undercover agent was eventually identified as Wang Churan.

"Alright, it's Chu Ran's turn!" Teacher He announced with a smile, "Truth or Dare?"

Following the pre-arranged script, Wang Churan naturally chose the dare.

Teacher He announced the adventure: "Here's the thing, Chu Ran, please open your phone's contacts, then call one of your friends of the opposite sex, put it on speakerphone, and tell them you miss them." Remember, don't tell them you're recording a show. See how they respond.

Wang Churan became famous, but she never expected the production team to go to such lengths, actually making her say such things to Su Yu.

But there was nothing she could do; the audience was already starting to riot. She had no choice but to take a deep breath and dial the number.

The phone rang for a few seconds before being answered.

A magnetic male voice came from the phone speaker, tinged with a hint of gentle doubt.

"Feed? What's wrong?"

The audience fell silent instantly.

Wang Churan held her phone, her voice trembling with nervousness: "Brother Su Yu, I miss you."

The audience screamed "Wow!"

After saying this, Wang Churan's face turned red immediately. After all, this was done in front of everyone, which was much more exciting than secretly showing affection on Weibo.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.

Then Su Yu's voice rang out, tinged with confusion and disdain: "Miss me? Why would you miss me? Are you alright?"

The audience was silent for a second, then burst into laughter. He Jiong laughed so hard he slapped his thigh, Wei Jia leaned back in his chair wiping away tears, and Ma Sichun covered his mouth, his shoulders shaking.

Wang Churan's face instantly turned bright red. Although she had already informed Su Yu that they were recording a show, this person actually asked, "Are you alright?"

This is really making our little Wang furious.

"I'm fine! I just—" Wang Churan tried to explain, but didn't know how to smooth things over on the phone. In the end, she could only shout angrily into the phone, "Can't I just say I miss you?!"

Seeing this, Ma Sichun quickly came over with a smile to help Wang Churan out of the awkward situation, and shouted loudly towards the phone, "What's wrong, big star? You won't let us miss you?"

"Wow, Sister Si Chun is here too." Su Yu's voice came from the speaker. "Oh, you guys are recording a show, right? I was wondering why Chu Ran suddenly became so cheesy. He's not usually like this. It startled me."

Wang Churan, standing to the side, gritted her teeth and forced out, "How dare you say that!"

She knew in her heart that Su Yu was doing this for the sake of the show, but his question, "Are you alright?" was purely intentional!

Although I understand, I still really want to hit him.

"Hello Su Yu, I'm He Jiong!" Teacher He chimed in at the opportune moment, his tone warm and friendly. "We're on 'Happy Camp'!"

"Hello, Teacher He! Hello, fellow teachers! Hello, viewers of Happy Camp!"

Teacher He smiled and said, "Could you tell us and your fans what you've been busy with lately?"

Su Yu said, "I'm currently filming a new drama called 'Someday or One Day,' in which I play the male lead. Although it's a pity I couldn't be on set with everyone from 'Oh My General' to promote it, I still hope that the audience will give 'Oh My General' their support."

Teacher He smiled and thanked him, then hung up the phone amidst applause from the audience.
