"Teacher Ruanruan, so great!"

When Ruan Jinghong heard these words, her feet went limp, and she almost fell into Wen Jin's arms by accident.

Wen Jin, who was standing by, was already waiting for her to fall into her arms, but when she saw the little thing in front of her stabilizing her steps in the last second, she couldn't help but sigh regretfully in her heart.

Ruan Jinghong slightly found support in Wen Jin's arm and took advantage of her strength to stand firm. With some uneven breath, she said, "Teacher Wen has been working hard today, and we're almost done with the dance. Why don't we stop here today?"

Wen Jin looked at Ruan Jinghong's withdrawn palm, especially the warmth lingering on her arm.

With some regret, she traced her gaze to the little thing's brows and eyes, knowing not to push her too hard. She nodded slightly, "Mm, you should rest early."

"Mm, Teacher Wen also rests early."

Ruan Jinghong bid farewell to Wen Jin, and when she turned back to her room, she realized that the camera in the room had not been turned off. It was already past nine o'clock in the evening.

She rushed forward to turn off the camera in a hurry, with a guilty conscience still on her face.

Although she was already very tired during the day, after taking a shower, Ruan Jinghong felt that her sleepiness had disappeared, so she lay on the bed and fiddled with her mobile phone.

She first logged into the Lujiang APP and read the readers' comments.

Before coming to participate in the variety show, she had already hung up a long-term leave notice, and readers were already familiar with her behavior of taking leave every three days and occasionally pretending to be a zombie. Only a few little angels expressed their expectation of a great return, and more people were as quiet as chickens.

The comment area suddenly became very deserted, and even J, who would regularly check in every few days, disappeared.

She wondered how J is doing recently.

Ruan Jinghong logged on to Penguin and saw that J had sent her a message not long ago.

Huai Jin holds Yu: Da Da, how is the progress of the new project recently, and how are you getting along with your colleagues?

New project?

Ruan Jinghong remembered that before going to the variety show, she had told J that she was planning to start a new project. For artists, the announcement was indeed completing a work project.

Ruanruan: It's progressing smoothly, and I've made friends with a very interesting little sister, and the seniors who work with me are much nicer than I imagined.

Ruan Jinghong is embarrassed to say that this senior is not only good-tempered but also very good at tricking people, always making people blush. Such secret matters of the heart, even through the network cable, she couldn't fully reveal at once.

Wen Jin stared at the reply message on the phone screen, and frowned slightly: She mentioned the little sister first before the senior.

She thought for a moment, then tapped on the phone screen.

Huaijin holds Yu: Then, who do you like more, the sister or the senior?

Who do you like more?

Ruan Jinghong was slightly taken aback when she saw this question. How could these two people even be compared?

Ruanruan: If it's about getting along with people of the same age, then it's more comfortable to be with the younger sister. Just like the two of us, although you are younger than me, I still treat you as my peer in my heart. There is no restraint between the two of us when we communicate. As for the senior, she... she is different.

Huaijin holds Yu: What's different about her?

Ruanruan: She is excellent and gentle, just like the moon in the sky. She is unattainable and I admire her in my heart. Let me tell you, I found that the senior not only has a strong work ethic but also knows how to skate! You didn't have the privilege to see that she was on the ice at that time, her posture and technique were simply amazing! The world champion is just like that! There really can be such a perfect person in the world!

Three exclamation points in a row showed Ruan Jinghong's excited mood at the moment.

(T/N: who went back to count?)

Upon seeing this description, Wen Jin felt both proud and helpless in her heart.

She didn't expect to have such a good image in the little thing's mind, but why is this somewhat different from what she imagined?

Huaijin holds Yu: Are you just putting a filter on your senior, I'm sure there's something she can't do, like ordinary people?

Ruan Jinghong looked at the phone and tilted her head: "Something? Like dancing?" But after such a short few hours, she has learned so much. Not only has she made rapid progress in her dance part very smoothly, but she can also choreograph by analogy.  Although those actions... are really embarrassing, she is really amazing.

Ruan Jinghong thought for half a minute before sending out the message firmly.

Ruanruan: There is nothing she can't do, senior is omnipotent!

Wen Jin: ...

Seeing that the little thing she likes deified herself to such a height in her heart like a little fan, she didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

In order to correct this little thing's blind worship, Wen Jin decided to properly expose her own faults.

Huaijin holds Yu: Have you ever thought that in places you can't see, your senior also has many shortcomings? For example, she's unapproachable, she ignores people when she's immersed in work, and she doesn't say what's on her mind, etc.

Ruanruan: Senior, she is the best. Friend, you haven't even met her, it's not good to just talk about her behind her back. 

Mm, a duwei* fan who doesn't listen to advice.

*a fan of only one celebrity and doesn't care about others

Wen Jin was helpless and quickly apologized for the remarks she had just made. She was afraid that she would offend the little thing and would not chat with her online in the future.

Huaijin holds Yu: Da Da, I was wrong. I just used an example to guess. I didn't mean to slander your senior. I believe that someone who can have your admiration must be great.

Ruanruan: I don't blame you. You don't know how good she is because you hadn't seen her before. I really hope you have the opportunity to meet her in the future, so that you will know what I just said is not an exaggeration at all.

Wen Jin thought to herself: Heh, I see her every day.

Huai Jin holds Yu: Okay, I also look forward to having the opportunity to meet Da Da!

The two of them chatted for half an hour on the penguin until Ruan Jinghong felt sleepy. Thinking that she has to wake up early tomorrow to shoot a variety show, she bid farewell to Huaijin and wrapped up herself into her quilt to dream of  Duke Zhou*

*member of the royal family during the Zhou Dynasty, known for his righteousness. He is also regarded as the god of dreams due to The Analects record of Confucius saying, "How I have gone downhill! It has been such a long time since I dreamt of the Duke of Zhou." This was meant as a lamentation of how the governmental ideals of the Duke of Zhou had faded but were later taken literally. In Chinese legends, if an important thing is going to happen to someone, the Duke of Zhou will let the person know through dreams: hence the Chinese expression "Dreaming of Zhou Gong".

At eleven o'clock in the evening, "Holiday Saturday" officially released the pilot episode on the Tomato platform.

Netizens cursed, "Airing the pilot episode on a Sunday night, work in the underworld", but at the same time, they clicked in very honestly.

The pilot film lasts about half an hour and mainly edits some interesting short shots as publicity.

Because the gimmicks made by the director in the early stage are enough, at this point, besides the fans, there are still many passers-by who click on the video to watch it.

Just a few minutes after the broadcast started, the video was full of bullet screen* comments.

*a feature in streaming platforms popular in China where the viewers' comments are superimposed and run across the playing video

[Golden Orange Check-in +1161]

[Little Yunduo checks in +892]

[Ying Tianfuwei clocks in +1334]

[Queen Wen Yin, why hasn't she come out yet +2771] After the 2-minute opening music ended, the number of check-ins decreased a lot.

The first scene is of Jin Ziyi, which is the scene from the live broadcast of the first meeting.

The cameraman, Xiao Ming, rushed to the door and told her to shoot a VLOG, but Jin Ziyi said straightforwardly: "Stop bluffing me, I do this every time, and now I'm sure it's a live broadcast again. Hello, friends in front of the camera."

No doubt about the power of a social butterfly.

At that time, only a small group of people watched the live broadcast, but now millions of viewers squatted in front of the official pilot film, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

[Although Jin Ziyi is usually naive, she actually has intelligence at critical moments]

[Heh, when a person gets tricked so many times, she will always become better. Everyone needs to grow.]

[Although we all know that it's the routine of the program group, she really doesn't want to give the program group a face hahaha.]

[Speaking of the acting skills of the program staff, will anyone really be deceived?]

[Those who have watched all the replays of the live broadcast said that there really are.]

After Jin Ziyi faced the camera and interacted with the spectators alone like an anchor, the screen cut to Ruan Jinghong's side, and the opening scene was her famous scene.

"Pweesh shit jown (please sit down), jew yu wan shum washer (do you want some water)?"

"Jashnow (just now), canyonoshbrogkashit (can you not broadcast it)?"

[Hahaha I can't do it anymore, is this the rumored girlfriend of Queen Wen? Why is she even more stupid than Jin Ziyi?]

[Hahaha, how did you manage to AOE* three people at the same time with one sentence]

*area of effect; a term usually used in gaming, a hit range of a character; hitting three birds with one stone

[I have started to have a premonition that these few people will be very fun together]

[This is still a premonition, have you seen the hallway spoiler of the three of them before?]

The bullet screen of comments didn't last too long, after all, each guest's appearance was only half a minute long.

Appearing behind Ruan Jinghong were Zhong Manyun, Yin Xiang, and Huo Yitong.

Wen Jin was the last one to appear on stage. The moment she showed her face, the bullet screen was swiped.

[It's so rare to see Queen Wen in real life. Doesn't she look good when she's not filming?]

[This courtyard opened my eyes, it's too beautiful, you are still the movie Queen]

[Usually, you can only go to the movie theater to see Queen Wen, but now watching this variety show for free, I suddenly felt like I'm taking advantage]

[Don't worry upstairs, because of Director Wen's personality, there would be a lot of tidbits and easter eggs waiting for the distinguished VIP to unlock. dog head/]

T/N: he's talking about paid contents

After the guests made their respective opening appearances, the scene switched to W Town quickly.

The following shots are scattered and mixed cuts, rather than appearing in chronological order.

There was Yin Xiang and Zhong Manyun who staged an idol drama on the spot and were trolled by netizens for being a dramatic couple.

Then, there was Jin Ziyi and Huo Yitong watching the live broadcast of other guests in the car, and they made almost identical comments, which were nicknamed "sharing brainwaves" by netizens.

There is also Wen Jin's gentle pampering as she wakes Ruan Jinghong up, and Ruan Jinghong's nasal complaint, "So annoying".

These words made the bullet screen that had been calm for a while now boil again.

[Oh my god, what kind of story is this about a gentle actress confusing her little wife? Is it really okay for you to kill dogs on the spot like this? dog head/]

[This is the first time I saw such a gentle expression on Queen Wen's face, no acting skills, all emotions!]

[Ruan Meow Meow is so cute, if I were Queen Wen, I would be gentler than her]

[Ruan Meow Meow looks like a baby wrapped in a quilt, I think rua*]

*a buzzword to express uncontained emotion for either anger, frustration, or cuteness overload

[One second she was still asleep and moaning, and the next second she saw her wife and was startled awake hahaha]

[It's hard to imagine what Queen Wen did to Ruan Meow Meow. Why was Ruan Meow Meow shocked when she saw her?]

[What else can she do, it's just some wives' play. dog head/]

[This is playing all over the internet. Is it really good for you to go in that direction? dog head/]

[It's already past eleven o'clock in the evening, and I finally understand Director Wen's intention of showing the pilot episode at this moment. dog head/]

However, among the millions of viewers, not all of them will "hahaha" and ship on the CP. In the originally harmonious memes, more and more voices of doubt suddenly appeared.

[The one who is the most confused among the guests, the live streaming was in a mess, stays in bed in the morning in a variety show. Is this the work attitude of an artist?]

[The only representative among the six guests, as a bad coffee*, always knows how to bundle up with the movie queen for hype and abuse her good temper]

*someone unpopular

[Could the bad coffee's navy calm down, I'm here to ship the evenly matched, powerful Yunxiang Double Strong CP, I don't want to see the moon landing and touching porcelain*]

*forced bundling marketing/riding on someone's coattails

These people seem to have a lot of hostility, and they say "bad coffee" one by one. Although they didn't name her, anyone with a discerning eye knows who they are talking about.

These people are very smart this time, and they all point their fingers at Ruan Jinghong, not daring to offend Wen Jin's fans at all.

Ruan Jinghong doesn't have only two fans, and the newly minted CP fans defend her with a few words. However, it is indeed an undeniable fact that she doesn't have notable work and has low celebrity status.

The opposite side attacked Ruan Jinghong in all directions as if organized and premeditated, and also intentionally joined forces with Zhong Manyun and Yun Xiang's fans and CP fans.

After all, fans of pure traffic are more or less arrogant and domineering. Who would like to see their enthusiasm being suppressed by a little transparency?

The screen bullet fell into chaos, and almost the entire screen was scolding Ruan Jinghong.

The so-called extremes must be reversed. Ruan Jinghong has gained enthusiasm beyond her strength in a short period, so she naturally has to bear the corresponding doubts.

Some smart viewers could see that this little transparency was being targeted this time. When it comes to arguing, they are naturally not the opponents of "professionals". Anyway, it is not their own life. When it's time to shut down the mic, they should shut it down.

Fortunately, the program team actually monitored the barrage, cleared a wave of aggressive barrage, and silenced them.

But the impact of the incident didn't end there, and it spread to Weibo and forums.

Among the banned accounts were trolls who received money to swear, as well as other fans and stalking viewers who followed suit.

The latter felt deprived of freedom of speech, so he was full of dissatisfaction and posted passionately.

[Being banned, I also want to say, what is the background of that stupid thing named Ruan Jinghong? It's hard to say]

["Holiday Saturday" invites such a rat shit, isn't it afraid of ruining their reputation?]

[One-person blood book asks the program team to replace Ruan Jinghong, I don’t want to watch a group of famous people just to praise a fool] For a while, Ruan Jinghong, who was fairly popular with passers-by a few days ago, seemed to suddenly become some kind of heinous person generally.

Shen Yun was running around in a hurry on the other end of the network. She was worried that it would affect Ruan Jinghong's filming status, so she didn't call her.

She contacted the marketing account she knew before and tried her best to lead the rhythm in a good direction. However, with her few financial connections, before this wave of organized and premeditated attacks, it was simply a drop in the bucket.

Wen Duoduo originally thought that she could quickly cut out the pilot episode to warm up, but she didn't expect this wave of accidents to happen. It was already one o'clock in the morning, and the online voices questioning the program group and Ruan Jinghong continued.

Now these questions are piecemeal, and they haven't become a hot topic yet. If they guide fans to refute, if they can't suppress all these voices with one blow, it will add heat to these doubts.

But they can't let it go, it will affect the reputation of the show.

Wen Duoduo invited the assistant director to discuss together overnight and finally decided to let the staff work overtime, edit the content of the first day and the second day as the first episode of the feature film, and broadcast it before the negative public opinion fermented out of control.

The launch of the feature film will generally bring ten times the traffic of the pilot episode. As long as the quality of the program is excellent, the voices of thousands of real viewers will naturally be able to overwhelm these suspicions.

At seven o'clock in the morning, when Ruan Jinghong's mobile phone alarm rang, she jumped out of bed like a carp.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she looked around reflexively. Fortunately, nothing happened.

She was raided by the program group for two consecutive mornings, and she already had some PTSD about the surprise of the program group.

She washed and changed all the way, but no one came to knock on the door.

Such a peaceful morning does not match the style of the program group.

Ruan Jinghong opened the door while complaining in her heart, just in time to see her cameraman Xiao Chen quietly guarding the door with a camera on her shoulders, and a tall man was standing beside Xiao Chen. Ruan Jinghong couldn't recognize that person's name, but she could recognize that he was also a staff member of the program group.

When Xiao Chen saw Ruan Jinghong, she grinned with big white teeth, "Teacher. Ruan, good morning."

Ruan Jinghong, "Sister Chen, good morning."

After Ruan Jinghong greeted Xiao Chen, seeing that the other party didn't speak, he kept smiling at her.

This made her feel a little nervous: You are so polite today that it does not feel normal.

At this time, it was the tall staff member next to her who spoke first.

"Hello, I'm Xiao Gang, the assistant director. Because the content of today's program recording is quite special, I would like to trouble the guests to temporarily hand over their mobile phones to the program team for safekeeping."

Confiscating the mobile phone, no wonder Sister Chen is hesitant to speak.

Ruan Jinghong's mobile phone has a fingerprint password set up, so she is not afraid that the temporary handover will expose her privacy. But as a modern youth, she feels a little unaccustomed to being without a mobile phone by her side all day.

"May I ask about today's filming? What is the content?"

"After the guests have assembled, the director will announce the recording process." Xiao Gang looked serious.

Ruan Jinghong didn't ask any more questions, handed over her mobile phone cooperatively, and arrived at the restaurant to wait for other guests.

The first person to arrive at the restaurant this time was Jin Ziyi. As soon as she saw Ruan Jinghong, she rushed forward like a golden retriever, completely forgetting that Ruan Jinghong didn't want to talk to her indifferently last night.

"A'Ruan, did you rest well last night? I wanted to come to play with you yesterday, but I ran into Senior Wen. She said she wanted to practice dancing with you, so I didn't want to disturb you. Actually, I gave you the task to dance last night just to find a reason for you to procrastinate. I didn't expect you to be so serious and practice for so long."

Ruan Jinghong wasn't a person who held grudges at all, seeing Jin Ziyi's look of hopelessness, she didn't argue with her again, and replied: "Fortunately, we basically practiced the whole dance last night, after Teacher Wen left, I fell asleep."

Jin Ziyi nodded happily when she heard this, "That's good, then I'll come and play with you tonight. I downloaded a mobile game a few days ago, it was very fun, and I was worried that no one would play with me. Crap, I just remembered. This makes me angry, my mobile phone was confiscated early in the morning."

Ruan Jinghong, who also handed in her mobile phone, naturally understood Jin Ziyi's mood at the moment. She looked at the empty seat next to Jin Ziyi, and asked curiously, "Where is Teacher Huo, doesn't she live next door to you? Did you guys come over together?"

Jin Ziyi waved her hand indifferently, "Heh, she went to look for Senior Wen early in the morning, I don't know what those two are plotting."

Speaking of the devils, as soon as Jin Ziyi finished speaking, Huo Yitong and Wen Jin appeared together in front of her.
