Chapter 502 I Will Never Participate in a Variety Show in My Life
Chapter 502 I Will Never Participate in a Variety Show in My Life
"Absolutely not, aunt, don't worry. Don't you know how courageous I have been since I was a child? I am so courageous that I am almost willing to kill people and set fire to things."
This is different. This escape room is a double blow to the mind and body. She got goose bumps when she watched it in person, not to mention the immersive experience of playing in it.
Qiao Ling continued, "I am a parachutist. Imagine jumping from a high altitude. A timid person would faint before he even jumps. But I can stay awake until I land."
"Which is more extreme, playing games or skydiving? I'm not afraid of either, so why would I be afraid of playing games? At most, decryption is a little harder for me, but the rest is no problem at all. I just want to experience it. There are no such games anywhere in the world right now."
It's different. Skydiving is an extreme sport. Just because you are not afraid of heights or extreme sports doesn't mean you won't scream and run away when you see red embroidered shoes while walking alone at night.
"Let's just say that I dare to finish reading a copy of 'Grandma' at home by myself."
Guide: “You are accepted.”
Among the other guests who recommended themselves, there is a female actress who is quite heavyweight and a talented actress. She debuted very early and won various awards before she was 30 years old. In recent years, she has gradually faded out of the entertainment industry to retire.
She has also publicly stated that she will never appear on variety shows in her life because being an actor requires maintaining mystery.
Although she said so, she came here on her own initiative.
Moreover, self-recommendation is rather tortuous and euphemistic.
At first, I was just asking for information for a friend and asking about the game format of the variety show.
The director received several calls at the time and had already put together a set of excuses to evade the calls, so he just sent them back.
A few days later, I called again to ask if the guests had been chosen? How many had been chosen? What kind of people were you looking for?
I know you must be struggling with this matter. My friend asked me to help find out about it, so I'll see if I can help you.
Yes, I’m asking around for my friend, but I don’t really want to go myself.
The director saw through it but didn't say anything, and just replied that the good guy hasn't been confirmed yet.
As a result, Xia Yanran responded with a bunch of responses: "Oh, not yet. That's great. My friend dragged me to read that novel before. I think this game is quite interesting. Have you talked to the author? Is the format of the game similar to what is described in the novel? Have there been any changes?"
"What about the story? Is it written? Where is the game location? How is the venue layout? And the mechanism design? Is it difficult?"
Director: “Do you want to come?”
"No, I don't really want to go. I'm already semi-retired and I've said before that I won't participate in any variety shows. It's not good to go back on my word. Now I'm just invited to act in a play. If the script is good, I'll act in it... I'm asking for my friend."
Director: "Oh. Just look for someone who is a little braver. Those who are too timid won't do."
Although she has some friendship with Xia Yanran, she doesn't know how courageous this person is. However, she is indeed smart, with high emotional intelligence and IQ, otherwise she would not have been able to gain a foothold in the entertainment industry at such a young age and win various awards.
Although there has been no news for a year or two, her fan base is still very large. If she wants to participate, this variety show will be her first, so there will definitely be a lot of discussion. It is a sure win to cooperate with her.
Xia Yanran thought about her courage and it seemed to be okay. She was not afraid of mice or cockroaches, and she had even caught snakes. If these things were used to scare her in a secret room, she would not be scared.
"I'm pretty brave. I dare to catch mice and snakes. I'm not afraid to walk alone at night. But my friend is not so brave. He's afraid of snakes, mice, ghosts, the dark, and everything. I don't think he fits the criteria for a variety show guest you mentioned."
director:"……"
Just do what you want, why use your friends as a shield?
Xia Yanran cleared her throat and paused talking. She felt that she had said too much and might have exposed her true intentions.
It’s all because she was young and energetic, and always liked to exaggerate things.
A few years ago, a variety show was very popular and many reporters asked her if she would be on it.
But she was not in favor of variety shows at the time, because she firmly believed that actors should not participate in variety shows and should maintain their mystery.
Coupled with the late onset of chuunibyou, she wanted to appear different from other people. To put it bluntly, she was a bit pretentious.
When many actors participated in variety shows to increase their popularity, she said very firmly that she was not interested in variety shows and would never participate in them in her life.
The agent also said that she was exaggerating, and that such reports were everywhere on the streets. If she participated in a variety show in the future, she would definitely be ridiculed.
The reason she was so sure that she would not change her mind was because she really had no interest in the variety show at the time and just felt like she was having fun.
The format of variety shows has not changed over the years, so she has not been embarrassed over the years. She thought that the flag she set would never fall in her lifetime, but who knew that a variety show that really made her excited would come out halfway.
She really wanted to participate. She had been itching to do so since she read the novel.
After knowing that there was a real chance to film it, I immediately called the director to ask.
Xia Yanran really didn't want to miss it, but she was also reluctant to let go of her own face. After all, she had held on to this flag for so many years. She could only test the waters little by little and secretly recommend herself to the director as a very suitable person.
She would discuss with others when the time comes whether she could tell others that it was she who invited her. She didn't really want to go, but because of their friendship, she had no choice but to agree.
This will help her maintain her face.
She promised that after learning from this lesson, she would never speak so confidently again...
Director: "You can come if you want, but don't let me take the blame."
She had worked in the same crew with Xia Yanran before, so naturally she had some understanding of her personality. Now seeing her testing her again and again, she could guess what she was thinking with her toes.
Directly and ruthlessly expose and reject.
Xia Yanran: "...I don't want to go. I've already said that I'm asking for my friend. How could I be interested in variety shows? I lost interest in variety shows many years ago, and I have even less interest in things like escape rooms, which I've never heard of. Although I'm brave and very suitable for playing this game, and I'm also quite entertaining and topical, I'm really not interested in it."
The director interrupted her again bluntly, "Have you read this author's novel?"
Xia Yanran said stubbornly: "No."
In fact, I stayed up all night to finish watching it in one go, and even wanted to participate in the film and television adaptation.
Oh, she didn’t mention any author.
The long silence on the other end made Xia Yanran realize clearly that she had been seen through.
But she still wanted to defend herself, "Really, no, I don't even know the author's name. You know, after I retired, I lived a very fulfilling life every day. I was either reading novels or looking for novels..."
