Tick tock.
Tick tock.
Song Wenbin looked at the clock on the wall and then at the watch on his wrist. But he couldn't focus on time. He just vaguely felt that a long time had passed.
After thinking about it, he stood up from the chair and wanted to get a glass of water. However, when he stood up, he saw the dark glass, and the glass in the night reflected his lost face. It seems very strange.
Tick tock.
Tick tock.
Time passed by, and the face on the glass suddenly showed a smile for no reason.
"Go and learn English. Why are you standing there in a daze?"
Song Wenbin was startled and quickly rubbed his eyes. The smile on the glass disappeared completely, replaced by the lost face.
"What the hell..."
He muttered, touched his watch, sat down again, and began to read the English book Huo Yu brought him.
…
Huo Yu's departure did not discourage Song Wenbin. Indeed, he had had longings and fantasies, but since the other party clearly expressed his rejection, he would naturally not continue to be sentimental. For the first time in his life, he bought something online. He bought a bunch of tapes, checked out a lot of tutorials, and even hired an English teacher, a retired university English professor, to give him one-on-one tutoring at home at a much lower price than Huo Yu.
However, there was not enough time left for Song Wenbin to study. Soon, a phone call dragged him out of his busy vacation.
"At two o'clock in the afternoon, the company will gather."
On the phone, Jiang Lu's voice was as high-pitched as ever. After receiving the call, Song Wenbin immediately drove his BYD to the Seal Building.
In the office, Su Tina had already sat inside in advance. She was talking and laughing with colleagues from the film crew and planning team. When she saw Song Wenbin coming over, she just glanced at him lightly, and then continued talking and laughing with her colleagues.
Song Wenbin had nothing to do, so he put on his headphones and started learning English courses on his mobile phone. Wei Ning, who was chatting with Su Tina, saw Song Wenbin coming. He came over and tried to chat with Song Wenbin. Song Wenbin did not waste any time and asked a few English questions that he did not understand. This attitude made Wei Ning Ningdu was stunned for a moment.
A few minutes later, the sound of talking and laughing came from outside the door. It turned out to be Huo Yu and Jiang Lu. They walked into the conference room laughing and chatting like good sisters. Song Wenbin subconsciously raised his head and glanced at Huo Yu. In his impression, The relationship between these two people was quite tense in the first two episodes, but they didn't expect it to be repaired so quickly?
However, Huo Yu had no intention of saying hello to Song Wenbin. She simply ignored her and sat at the farthest place from Song Wenbin on the diagonal of the table.
While Sutina skillfully dealt with the politeness of other people in the company, she turned her eyes around the middle of the table twice and frowned slightly.
After sitting down, Jiang Lu clapped his hands and said: "Comrades, long time no see. We have indeed delayed planning this episode for a long time. However, in order to produce the best program and find the most suitable route for you, I believe in all this It’s all worth it!”
As he spoke, Jiang Lu clapped his hands, and a planner turned on the projector in the conference room. The projector projected a huge map of Central America on the screen. Seeing the map, Song Wenbin had a bad feeling in his heart. He stopped learning English. He took off his headphones and sat upright, intending to listen to Jiang Lu's new task arrangements.
"In the new episode, we plan to take you to..."
Before he finished speaking, the glass door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open. Jiang Lu immediately frowned and looked outside the conference room. As the chief planner of the extraordinary journey, she was very dissatisfied that someone suddenly interrupted her meeting.
However, after seeing the person coming, the dissatisfaction on her face quickly receded and turned into confusion and nervousness.
Everyone followed her gaze, and many stood up immediately. Song Wenbin also looked over, and then his expression changed slightly.
There were a few unfamiliar people standing outside the conference room after being pushed away. He had seen Bai Shou, who was wearing a white suit, many times, including the previous few times. Standing on both sides of Baikari was a young man with a bright smile. He had neatly combed long hair, wearing loose and colorful clothes, and rimless yellow glasses. He looked very naughty. Song Wenbin looked familiar to him, but he didn't recognize him for a moment because his attention was attracted by the woman standing between the two men.
She had long black hair as always, and was wearing a black diamond-encrusted robe. Her face was pale, and her poker face paired with her shiny clothes made her look like a model walking down the catwalk.
"state…"
Jiang Lu quickly called her, but she raised her hand to stop him.
The members of the Extraordinary Journey program in the conference room were caught off guard by the sudden arrival of the three people, and the conference room was completely silent for a while.
Song Wenbin looked at the black-haired woman and felt very uneasy. He clearly remembered that this woman pushed him into the sea at the end of the last episode, which he had never told anyone about. But there is no doubt that her appearance brought huge pressure to Song Wenbin.
Taking another peek outside the conference room, Song Wenbin saw the short Raomeng outside the glass wall. The moment they looked at each other, Raomeng raised his finger and made a shooting gesture at Song Wenbin.
Song Wenbin's breathing stopped, and then he bit his lower lip in humiliation. The scene on the yacht at the end of the space special almost severely damaged his image. He swore he would never experience that experience again in his life.
Accompanied by two men, Shen Tujia walked to Jiang Lu and said calmly: "Is it okay?"
"Yes, of course."
Jiang Lu looked at everyone in the conference room and introduced: "This is Ms. Shen, the investor of our program."
"one."
Shen Tujia added lightly, and then pushed Jiang Lu away mercilessly.
The visitor's domineering style made everyone on the Extraordinary Journey hold their breath. Song Wenbin was even more nervous. During the filming of the last episode of the program, he briefly experienced the unpredictability and madness of this black-haired woman. Now during the preparation of the program, she When you come to the conference room, what tricks do you want to play?
"Have you seen the news?"
Shen Tujia's dark eyes looked around the entire venue.
Everyone looked at each other in confusion, wondering what medicine one of the investors was selling in his gourd.
Seeing everyone's confusion, Shen Tujia showed a happy smile, turned to look at Song Wenbin, and said word by word: "Brother Ji's house collapsed."
Song Wenbin's expression suddenly changed.
Everyone in the conference room also changed their expressions.
As a person in the industry, celebrities whose houses have collapsed are taboo among taboos in public, and no one will take the initiative to mention it. Just like the unnamed Voldemort in the children's story Harry Potter.
But even without mentioning the name, everyone knew who she was talking about. As the biggest news event in the entertainment industry today, this incident has caused all relevant companies to remain silent, and it has become a tacit understanding among everyone not to mention it. But now this matter was suddenly mentioned by this strange woman in the Seal Conference Room, causing a thick cloud to hang over everyone's heads.
"The culprit...I think everyone here knows it very well."
Shen Tujia spoke slowly, but his eyes were fixed on Song Wenbin without blinking, as if he was trying to dissect him with his eyes.
Being stared at by her, cold sweat fell on Song Wenbin's forehead bit by bit. He glanced at Huo Yu subconsciously, and Huo Yu was also secretly looking at him. The moment they made eye contact, Song Wenbin turned away, his heart pounding.
"I don't want the same thing to happen in the project I took over." Shen Tujia said coldly and firmly: "Hua Jianchen."
"I'm here." The man in colorful clothes beside Shen Tujia raised his hand with a smile.
"In this episode, you will travel with Feifan Journey as insurance to hedge against the uncertain risks in this show, do you understand?" Shen Tujia said expressionlessly.
"Understood~"
Hua Jianchen couldn't wait to wave to Song Wenbin and said excitedly: "Teacher Yan, I am a loyal fan of your show. Please take care of me during my future travels!"
Song Wenbin's face turned blue.
He said this guy looked familiar.
It turns out to be the famous Hua Jianchen. The reason why he is famous is not because he has many works, but because as a variety show talent, he will be rumored about scandals every now and then. People give him the nickname "The Lord of the Paparazzi". The reason is that It was precisely because of so many scandals that the garden downstairs of his home was full of paparazzi. It was rumored that he had more than 20 celebrity girlfriends within a year, but none of his girlfriends sued him. There are even rumors that he is also a time management guru, but he has never been caught.
"What the hell??"
Huo Yu took the lead and stood up, pointing at Hua Jianchen and saying in shock: "This thing? Hedging risks, you are not kidding, right?"
"Huo Yu!!"
Jiang Lu quickly warned, and then she quickly said to Shen Tujia: "Mr. Shen, this is not good. Our program was originally configured with three people, but four people were added inexplicably. Many rules have to be changed. "
"Rule?" Shen Tujia looked Jiang Lu up and down and said, "The rule is that the income is positive."
"But..." Jiang Lu wanted to say something else, but Bai Shou stood up and said worriedly: "Programmer Jiang, although the response to the last episode of the program was good, the cost was huge and it was almost not completed. You haven't finished the show either. We must ensure that you can complete it smoothly this time."
Jiang Lu pursed his lips and did not answer.
But Huo Yuke laughed out loud and said sarcastically: "We didn't finish the last show. Can he finish it with one more person? Those challenges and the risks during the trip, are you sure this playboy can do it?" Can you handle it?"
Huo Yu's words were deeply believed by all the members of the Extraordinary Journey program. Even director Baoli crossed his arms and looked at Hua Jianchen up and down. Not to mention the other photographers, they all looked at the newcomer, whispered, and shook their heads contemptuously from time to time.
Unlike other romance and male-male team-up variety shows, Extraordinary Journey is an extremely hard-core program. The risks and crises the program has faced since its inception have been endless and completely unpredictable. In the face of such a hard-core program, It has to be said that it is a miracle that the Song Huosu trio has come this far. No one believes that a newcomer who was recruited from a love variety show can face the uncertainty of this show.
However, facing the scrutiny and hostility of the entire Extraordinary Journey, Hua Jianchen did not take it seriously. He smiled and said: "Teacher Huo, please rest assured. Although I have a bad reputation and my ability is indeed not outstanding, but I am the only one who is not at risk of the house collapsing. Do you know why? Because I am a ruin."
As he spoke, he winked at Sutina and said skillfully: "Sutina, you are really getting better and better at dressing up. Your tie today really suits you very well."
Sutina touched her red bow tie expressionlessly and said nothing.
Listening to his words, the corner of Song Wenbin's mouth twitched. There is no doubt that, similar to but different from him, Hua Jianchen has been able to survive for so many years because of the persona of a charming prodigal son. And even if something happens between him and the two female guests on the show, others won't say anything because he is Hua Jianchen. If he doesn't have anything to do with the female guests on the show, that would be something that would surprise the audience.
"Lack of ability can be learned, and lack of experience can be cultivated. But only in terms of character design, we do not allow any accidents in the show." Bai Shou added. When he said this, he also looked at Song Wenbin.
Song Wenbin couldn't bear it. He stood up slowly, looked directly at Shen Tujia, and asked, "What do you mean? Do you think I am at risk of the house collapsing?"
"What do you think, Teacher Wei?"
Shen Tujia didn't look at Song Wenbin, and sneered proudly: "How long has it been since you got tired of work? Also, your company has been running well recently. Do you want to consider retreating behind the scenes to take care of products?"
Song Wenbin clenched his hands on the table.
"With such half-heartedness, in my opinion you have become one of the biggest risks to this show." Shen Tujia said calmly: "This show is our asset, and we will not allow uncontrollable thunder hazards to appear in the team."
Thinking of what happened when he was learning English that day, Song Wenbin was speechless, but he was unwilling to accept it and said forcefully: "Please don't question my professional ability."
"Then prove yourself." Shen Tujia said lazily: "Prove your expertise."
Song Wenbin sat down silently.
"Wait a minute, I want to ask."
At this time, Sutina, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked: "If Teacher Yan is really out of control, what are you going to do to him?"
Her question made everyone in the conference room prick up their ears. There is no doubt that this weird and crazy show can be filmed to this day. It has grown from an unknown outdoor show to the leading adventure variety show in the country. Teacher Yan’s role in it is The performance is great, but now that the show has just become popular, investors have inserted people into the show team, which makes people have to doubt the investors' intentions.
Shentujia was too lazy to talk to Sutina.
Bai Shou smiled at the side and said: "Teacher Su, the agreement is written in the contract. If Teacher Yan does something inconsistent with his status, then we can only regret and say sorry."
Sutina's eyes widened, and even Huo Yu gritted his teeth. Photographer Wei Ning couldn't stand it anymore and stood up to speak for his idol, but was pulled down by Song Wenbin as soon as he stood up.
"After all, we invested a lot in the early stage. We even gave you exclusive advertisements for the brand of "Teacher". You have to make us feel confident, right?" Bai Shou continued with a very sincere tone. .
"I understand, just one more person is enough. It's all for work anyway, so just let's work together." Song Wenbin said calmly.
"Awesome." Shen Tujia praised.
After saying that, she patted Hua Jianchen on the shoulder: "Behave well."
After saying that, she took Bai Shou and walked out with her head held high.
As soon as he reached the door of the conference room, Huo Yu couldn't bear it and stood up.
"Hey, that black guy."
The disrespectful address made the whole audience gasp.
The black-haired man turned his head coldly and stared at Huo Yu gloomily like a witch. The strong mental collision made everyone lower their heads, tense their toes, and couldn't bear to watch.
"What do you want to do?" Huo Yu asked a question that she cared about very much: "Are you struggling like this day after day?"
When Shen Tujia heard this, his gloomy face suddenly smiled, and he said with a bright smile, "If possible, I naturally hope that Teacher Yan can continue to break through himself and become a real superstar in domestic entertainment!"
