Huayu: I'm being coveted by young actresses.

Chapter 26: The Flavors Are Here

The show was still playing. After Zhang Jingyi ordered the food, the group got out of the car and received a warm welcome from the Mushroom House.

Before they could even sit down and have a proper drink of water, Chef Huang assigned the young people to plant watermelon seedlings in the ground.

It was the height of summer, and the heat was unbearable.

"Why do we have to do farm work when we get there? Aren't we going to enjoy rural life, see the scenery, pick some fruit, and come back in a couple of days?"

"Enjoy? Who told you that?"

"I've seen some clips of it on and off before, and the guests seemed very relaxed."

It's not her fault. She participated in another variety show on Hunan TV called "Divas Hit the Road 3," which made her life too comfortable.

The controversial "Divas Hit the Road 2" set a bad example, drawing widespread criticism.

There's Mao Ameng, a bad guy who grows old; Princess Jing, a spoiled brat who never grows up; Ning Jing, a hot-tempered man who sends telegrams anytime, anywhere; Chen Yihan, an inconspicuous woman who can't live without a man; Yang Yang, a stubborn and vain woman; Shuangzi, a spoiled brat with low emotional intelligence; and Jing Boran, who has a long history of emotional management issues.

Looking at this lineup, if the setting weren't in the city, you'd think you'd stumbled upon a demonic sect.

If you don't scheme against me, I'll scheme against you.

The team collectively created a series of dark and infamous scenes that are sure to terrify anyone who talks about them. In particular, Shuangzi's question pushed the already disharmonious team into the spotlight.

"Sis, did you have more fun last season or this season?"

Xu Qing gave a response that lacked any emotional intelligence: "Last season, because everyone was normal in the last season."

After saying this, Jing Boran, who had been leaning on Xu Qing's shoulder, stood up solemnly.

This exposed the already fractured relationship, with each member forming their own clique, to the public.

The production team edited it out directly to increase viewership.

Yang Yang participated in two variety shows, which almost caused him to develop depression due to his aversion to reality shows.

"Divas Hit the Road 2" made him suffer a lot from the hardships of travel and interpersonal relationships.

In another episode of "Star Soldier Reporting," Yu Xiaotong takes away the gas mask that was rightfully his, causing him to be poisoned.

Subsequently, the guests who caused trouble on the show were subjected to "justice" by netizens, and the show's reputation was also damaged.

Later, Zhou Yutong and Rong Zishan in "Divas Hit the Road 6" recreated the classic moments of "Divas Hit the Road 2".

It also turned "Divas Hit the Road 6" into the lowest-rated, most unfairly judged, and most scandalous show in the entire "Divas Hit the Road" series, making it a negative example of variety show production that was repeatedly criticized and ridiculed.

Having learned from the experience of "Divas Hit the Road 2", the guests of the third season of "Divas Hit the Road" were very restrained in their true selves during filming.

Therefore, there were almost no major conflicts or memorable scenes in "Divas Hit the Road 3" that Gulnazar participated in. Everyone showed affection for each other, just like a family.

This led her to believe that every variety show was easy, a way to have fun while earning appearance fees, like a team-building activity.

She was indeed lucky. In order to salvage the ratings of the money-making variety show, the production team could not recreate the memorable scenes of "Divas Hit the Road 2". They put a lot of thought into selecting the guests.

If Gulnazar had watched all three seasons of "Back to Field," she wouldn't have thought that way.

There are many memorable scenes in "Longing", but with the high EQ of Teacher He, the atmosphere is warmed up.

As for the other two regular guests, they are too low-profile to cause any trouble.

From the moment she said that, Gu Luojin knew that she knew too little about "Yearning".

Not only her, but the audience was also amazed that the production team had built a small house in such a picturesque location; living there must be so comfortable.

"You'll see when you keep watching."

The camera then shifts to a scene of four young people working.

Under Gu Luojin's arrangement, the four of them divided the work reasonably and completed it quickly.

Seeing Zhang Jingyi finish her work and prepare to water the plants, Gu Luojin quickly stepped forward to stop her.

He gave a live explanation in the field, explaining that watering under the scorching sun can actually cause seedling burn.

Through the editing of the program, he was portrayed as a highly learned person, not at all like a high-and-mighty celebrity detached from rural life.

Instead, he resembles a simple farm boy, except this farm boy has a handsome face.

[Please don't flame me in the comments. I studied agriculture, and I can confirm that Jinbao is right.]

Watering in high temperatures causes the water to evaporate rapidly, and the rising steam burns the roots of the watermelon seedlings, preventing them from surviving.

Everyone has experienced summer rain; raindrops evaporate instantly on the hot ground.

After watching the comments, Gu Luojin once again deeply appreciated the benefits of having great scholars to debate with her.

The four of them were working hard in the fields, and Zhang Jingyi, Zhang Zifeng, and Kuli Peng all had blisters on their hands.

Gu Luojin looked up at the sky, wiping away her sweat.

Meanwhile, the three adults in the Mushroom House were enjoying their leisure time, drinking tea and reminiscing about the past.

The two styles of art form form a stark contrast.

[Haha, only Teacher Huang would make such a handsome celebrity work in the fields.]

I feel so sorry for my husband. If it were me, I definitely wouldn't want him to work in the fields. I should be the one earning money to support the family, while he stays home looking beautiful.

[While others participate in events depicting their ideal life, he's participating in a field demonstration.]

On the way back, Zhang Zifeng glanced at Gu Luojin from time to time.

Naza, who was in love, noticed something amiss; it was clear that the young girl had secretly fallen for him.

Seeing that Gu Luojin did not respond to her, Nazha stopped caring about it.

Too many people like him; if everyone were jealous, she wouldn't be able to handle it all.

He dared not ask or respond to Zhang Zifeng's actions.

The best solution is to read but not reply.

This is Wei Chengnian, she's still a child, a flower of the motherland.

He's not some VIP who likes to seek attention in this way.

Even Wei Cheng was talking about it, so Gu Luojin could only give him five words: "Holy crap, you were born."

Five words are not enough to express his anger: "He is the worst of the worst."

The scene shifts to everyone waiting for Teacher Huang to cook, while Gu Luojin, Zhang Jingyi, and Zhang Zifeng go to the main house to sing.

The three of them were like ordinary people going to a karaoke bar; regardless of whether they sang well or not, they could get applause just by daring to sing.

As the song progressed, the audience realized something was wrong; Gu Luojin's voice was missing.

As the camera zoomed in, viewers realized he was quietly working on something big; if they weren't mistaken, he was creating a new song.

Upon learning that Gu Luojin was composing, the two stopped singing to create a quiet environment for him.

My two younger sisters are so well-behaved; I applaud you both.

I bet this song isn't very good.

[I agree with the comment above. +1.]

How good can a work created in such a short and quick time be? For these kinds of celebrities who rely on popularity, their fans will buy it anyway.

[You're already making sarcastic remarks about my husband before he's even been created yet; are you just jealous?]

Some viewers are not optimistic about the quality of Gu Luojin's work, while his fans stand up for him and fight against his haters.

The comments section was divided into two camps: haters who didn't think it was a good match and fans who did.

Naza picked up the tablet, opened the input box, and wanted to join the battle and become one of the protectors of Gu Luojin.

He stopped her, and through her hand, typed in the comments: "Garlic bird, garlic bird, life isn't easy for anyone."

Please stop typing in the comments; it won't kill anyone.

"Ignore those comments; I'd love for as many haters as possible."

Everyone wants as many true fans as possible, but he does the opposite.

"Having haters is what generates buzz and discussion."

There was once a sect called the Kunmen. Their leader disappeared from the Chinese entertainment industry for two years, but the sect became more and more glorious, and even spawned many new sects, leading a trend in Douyin short videos.

Just like my sister Meng, being infamous is still fame, and she'll always become popular.

As for why they were in such dire straits, don't ask.

Only by generating discussion can something enter the public eye.

However, it's important to handle negative information carefully, otherwise it can become a weapon used by adversaries to attack you.

The discussion between Zhang Jingyi and Zhang Zifeng about the creation time has further fueled the discussion about the relationship between creation time and song quality.

He underestimated the audience's aversion to traffic stars. The impression that traffic stars leave on the audience is that they are a group of uncultured, untalented people who can't even act well in their own job, and are just tools that are pushed out by capital to harvest fans.

The world has long been fed up with traffic stars.

Coincidentally, "Aspiration" is a nationally popular variety show, and the stubborn behavior of Gu Luojin, a traffic star, and her fans has aroused public resentment towards traffic stars.

This exacerbated the trend of people not having a high opinion of him. Judging from the comments posted, most viewers thought that the songs he wrote were low-class pop songs or a bunch of garbage songs that could only move fans.

The older generation had better food and had talented singers like Jay Chou, Wang Yibo, Lin Yifan, and Tao Yuanming, whose songs were beautiful and classic. These days, you definitely won't understand what the young idols are singing or the lyrics are about unless you listen to them several times.

[This song mixes Chinese and English; it's unclear whether it belongs to the Chinese or English music genre.]

A group of fans were just there, getting all excited.

I'm starting to miss the era when hit songs were everywhere.

The conflict between the two factions will not stop until Gu Luojin finishes his work.

[A bunch of trolls, Jinbao hasn't even finished writing yet, and you're already jumping to conclusions. Aren't you just pointing arrows at a target?]

Besides, did we eat your rice? Why are you barking and whining here?

The comments section was still filled with arguments, but Gu Luojin on the show didn't stop creating.

Five minutes later, he handed in a satisfactory answer.

I thought it would take at least half an hour, but it was created in just five minutes. I think everyone knows the quality of this song by now.

Now many fans who support Gu Luojin's looks don't know how to respond. Although the quality of a work is not directly correlated with the time it takes to complete it, it does reflect the creator's thoughts to some extent.

Some loyalists still offered their rebuttal.

[Mathematician Gauss solved a two-thousand-year-old mathematical problem left by Euclid in just one night.]

[You said it yourself, even Gauss took a whole night, and your Geigei only took five minutes to create a hit song. You're not trying to say your Geigei is even better than the mathematical genius Gauss, are you?]

What if he's a genius?

[What if? If he's a genius, I'll go to the bathroom and learn how to make Lao Ba's secret-recipe mini burgers. I'm making this a promise.]

The audience was shocked by this comment. "It's not like an argument has to escalate to the point of violence. It's really unnecessary."

The number of likes instantly soared, making it the comment with the most likes.

That's great, the fans have stopped arguing, the haters have stopped making trouble, and everyone is no longer at odds, because Wei Dao Pai has arrived.

Dude, don't make promises you can't keep, you might end up regretting them.

"Seriously, bro? You're serious?"

"Dude, is it really necessary to go this far?"

[I'm saying, what if, just what if, it really is a Golden Melody Award, wouldn't you be furious?]

[I can't blow it up. You all know how good this young heartthrob is. I'm completely confident. I'm looking forward to him proving me wrong.]

At this moment, a comment with a pie-like flavor appeared in everyone's view.

The white doves in the church won't kiss the crows in the fields, and the old man in the toilet won't go home hungry.

Are you perhaps trying to emulate KS Lao Ba and recreate some of the most cringe-worthy moments in the gaming world?

But let me tell you, bro, this stuff doesn't taste good.

It's very bitter, extremely bitter, and astringent. It feels like tasting an unripe persimmon on your tongue, with a hint of sourness, similar to the acid reflux you feel when you spit out food residue. It's disgusting.

It smells bad, tastes bitter, and sticks to your throat, so it's impossible to swallow. If you force it down, you'll vomit.

[Bro, you didn't eat the yellow one; the yellow one is sweet and sticky.]

Those who haven't tried it all think it's real, but only those who have know it's all made up, and made up so convincingly to deceive the audience into giving it a thumbs up.

I've never tried mini hamburgers, but I know bird droppings are sour and bitter; chicken droppings are astringent and bitter; and dog droppings have a slightly bitter taste, though of course, there are differences between city and rural droppings.

Please, please stop talking, I'm eating right now.

Even if you want something, you have to wait in line.

[I thought everyone was just making jokes, but now someone's actually doing it.]

[I just want to know, bro, if you really lose the secret-recipe mini burger, can you do a live stream? Let us all witness it.]

No problem, a man of his word is a man of his word.
