Chapter 453: Chapter 451 Recording Rural Variety Show 1_1

Lu Fan also had this idea and nodded immediately, "I will let the planning department work on it."

Before leaving, Lu Fan seemed to think of something else, instructing, "Since you are going to be on this variety show, you all need to be prepared to endure hardships. This program is mainly about letting celebrities shed their halos and do some farm work in the countryside."

"Remember, don’t be pretentious, don’t ruin your public persona, work more, talk less, and no bickering."

His tone was very serious.

It’s important to know that while this show is popular, it has already ruined the public image of quite a few celebrities, leaving them tagged as pretentious and foolish in the eyes of the audience.

He certainly didn’t want any of the key talents at his superstar company to suffer such a loss.

Then, he particularly named, "Especially you two girls, Xia Ningxing and Sheng Lin, pay more attention."

"What’s that supposed to mean! Looking down on women?" Xia Ningxing shot a cold glare his way when he singled them out.

"Wronged," Lu Fan spread his hands with a helpless face, "I’m just worried that you two delicate girls won’t be able to handle the life in the countryside."

Xia Ningxing was silent for a moment, "I used to be from a mountain area, and we were sent to the countryside for construction support when I just started my freshman year."

Sheng Lin shyly smiled and raised her hand as well, "My hometown is in the countryside. I can plant rice seedlings, plough fields, break corn, and harvest rice."

Lu Fan: "...okay, pretend I never said anything just now."

Soon after, Xia Ningxing and the others flew to the picturesque X Village to film "Stars’ Rural Life."

This time there were six people in all, in addition to the four from the superstar company, there were two others: one was a singer from XX Entertainment, and the other was kept confidential by the program team and not announced.

The first recording took place at the airport.

The superstar’s nanny van brought the four of Xia Ningxing to the airport.

The production team was already waiting.

As soon as they got out of the car, the camera was on them.

Having participated in quite a few variety shows in the real world, Xia Ningxing knew they liked these surprises, aimed at catching you off guard, so when the camera suddenly came over, she didn’t panic. Instead, she greeted it as if she had been prepared, with a calm demeanor.

"Good morning, everyone. It’s nine in the morning now, and my friends and I are at the airport..." Her flawless face bore a dazzlingly beautiful smile.

This was simply a beauty crush in the morning!

[My Baby Xing is absolutely gorgeous!]

[Can’t handle it, someone’s skin is so smooth and delicate.]

[I’m officially jealous.]

Since there was no filter or beautification at the moment, no one would doubt the authenticity of her beauty.

After she finished speaking, Ji Haichuan and others also greeted the camera in turn.

Ji Haichuan in his fresh young idol style, "Good morning, babes."

Song Ze in his seasoned celebrity manner, "Hello, everyone."

Sheng Lin with a sweet tone, "Hello to all the lovely viewers."

Soon, a girl carrying a suitcase arrived, wearing a duckbill cap.

The camera moved again.

"Oh no, I think I’m late!" the girl muttered to herself, then looked up, her face lighting up with joy at the sight of Xia Ningxing and the others, "Wow! I see so many stars here!"

"Xia, Song, Ji, and Sheng, I’m Zheng Pianpian, I’m so happy and excited to see you!"

The girl ran over while greeting Xia Ningxing.

She was a singer, and she was on the variety show to drum up popularity for her upcoming new song release.

Although they weren’t very familiar with each other, who in the entertainment industry didn’t have acting skills? Xia Ningxing and the others also pretended to respond to her warmly.

"Seeing you makes us so happy too!"

Inner thoughts: ...Happy my ass, I don’t even know you!

After exchanging greetings, Zheng Pianpian blinked curiously and deliberately asked as the show crew had instructed, "Eh, it’s just the five of us here, who is the last guest?"

When it came to the last guest, Xia Ningxing and others couldn’t help but shake their heads, their faces filled with puzzlement.

Latter on, a string of text was directly added in the editing: Utterly confused!

"A car just arrived; it’s probably the last guest," Ji Haichuan pointed to a vehicle in the front at that moment.

Sure enough, the show crew immediately aimed the camera at those two understatedly luxurious cars.

Subsequently, an elder with white hair, in his sixties, got out of the car.

Don’t be fooled by his age; his body was still robust, and if he dyed his hair black, he’d probably look like he was only in his forties.

"Wow! That’s Zhou, the famous figure in the music industry!" Zheng Pianpian, being in the music business, recognized him instantly and exclaimed in surprise.

"It really is Elder Zhou!"

Xia Ningxing also recognized him and couldn’t help but gasp.

This wasn’t an act—she was genuinely surprised.

To have a major figure like Elder Zhou who had retired from the music scene— it was quite a feat for the show crew to have invited him.

"Hello everyone," Elder Zhou greeted the younger generation with a loud and hearty voice.

"Hello, Mr. Zhou!"

Xia Ningxing and the others promptly responded respectfully.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are going to set off now!" signaled the show crew, and the recording came to a halt.

Xia Ningxing and the others nodded and began gathering their things, preparing to board the plane.

Although it was a reality show, each person was still allowed to bring an assistant.

It was a five-hour flight from Capital City to X Village, followed by a three-hour car ride.

One could say it was quite a long journey.

Upon boarding the plane, Xia Ningxing noticed something was off with Elder Zhou.

"Mr. Zhou, are you airsick?"

Elder Zhou weakly affirmed.

"Yes." Mr. Zhou was the only one without an assistant, and he said with weakness and discomfort, raising his eyelids, "I’m just getting old, I thought I had taken travel-sickness medication, but not only did I forget to take it, I also checked it in with my luggage."

As he spoke, he took several deep breaths and frowned deeply.

Those who have experienced airsickness know it’s a very painful ordeal, each minute and second is torture, akin to being stuck in purgatory—the agony is unbearable.

Xia Ningxing said, "Mr. Zhou, I have a way to prevent you from feeling sick."

Elder Zhou’s eyes brightened a bit, and he hastily said, "What’s the method, Miss Xia, please tell me quickly."

Xia Ningxing said, "The reason people get airsick is because of this acupoint on the head. You just need to press this point to relieve the discomfort."

"I’ll try it!" As if clutching at straws, Elder Zhou quickly raised his hand and pressed on that acupoint.

"Elder Zhou, how are you feeling now?" After a while, Zheng Pianpian couldn’t help but speak up, asking with concern.

But deep down, she felt Xia Ningxing was deceiving people.

She didn’t believe pressing an acupoint could stop someone from getting airsick.

Elder Zhou shook his head: "It doesn’t seem to have made any difference..."
