Chapter 46: Variety Show 02
Chapter 46
At this time, Ji Nian did not know that because of that piano piece <i>Dream Wedding</i> she had composed, it had attracted so much attention.
Even people in piano circles had already begun paying attention to this matter.
For the mysterious person who could compose, write lyrics, and come up with such a nice piano piece, it caused ripples in the industry.
And online, because <i>Guest</i> and <i>Arrogant</i> were still wildly popular, plus today's addition of <i>Dream Wedding</i>, in just less than three months, so many high-quality songs had come out, and the name Ji Xiaonian was officially becoming famous. Various big companies were also beginning to make their moves.
However, the person involved, Ji Nian, did not know about the huge waves she had set off. After eating lunch and taking a nap, she woke up and prepared to start making dinner.
She eagerly waited until the evening before finally turning on the TV, excited to watch her debut on the variety show.
She couldn't help feeling agitated - she was actually going to be on TV! It was just amazing. She'd never imagined there'd be a day she could see herself on the screen.
Although the face wasn't hers, but belonged to Ji Xiaonian, the soul was hers!
"Here it comes!" Ji Nian watched the TV station start playing the intro to the variety show, eyes wide with excitement.
A melodious tune began, and the camera first showed a large stretch of mountain scenery. Early in the morning, the morning mist surrounded the entire village, as if transported to a land of immortals.
At this time, online, netizens also began flooding in to watch because of the popularity of Shen Shuyao, the up-and-coming starlet.
Some people also came to watch the spectacle because of the popularity of Ji Xiaonian.
As a national idol, Cheng Liran was top-tier - his singing, dancing, acting skills, and looks were all superb.
The sudden revelation that he had a girlfriend, while impacting his image, mostly brought greater criticism onto the girlfriend.
After all, people wanted to see what the clingy ex-girlfriend from the rumors was like.
So the viewership for this Love Life variety show reached a historic high, with click rates shooting upward.
Behind the scenes, the director saw the view counts continuously rising and broke into a smile, thinking that if this episode went well, they could collaborate with her again next time.
The camera switched to show a woman pulling a suitcase, walking in through the open door, seeing the group of cameras and looking completely bewildered.
Her exquisite face was free of any flaws, and in the clarity of the HD cameras, her makeup-free face was recorded in close-up.
"My god! That natural bare face!"
"Holy crap, she didn't even draw in her eyebrows. That radiant beauty just shines through naturally!"
"F*ck, I'm an anti-fan, but her looks just struck me in the heart."
"Heavens, leading right in with that visual attack - I'll grant that Cheng Liran has decent taste!"
Scrolling down, the confused woman pointed at the camera, then asked in puzzlement, "Did I come to the wrong place?"
On screen, the woman's blank look, wearing simple T-shirt and jeans, still outlined her long legs and curvy figure.
On screen, the woman blankly asked, "Do I need to prepare something? Like...a script? Or am I supposed to do something?"
The bullet comments became lively. They'd only just started airing, yet some had already clipped this scene into short videos to upload to <i>Dou Yin Platform</i>.
"I can't, I'm going to die of laughter hahahaha."
"A script? Hahahaha."
"I can see it, she really is confused. After all her acting skills aren't that good hahaha."
"Suddenly I don't know how to criticize her..."
"Sorry, I also came to bash her..."
"Sisters, keep reading, there'll definitely be places we can pick on!"
On screen, Liang Jie took the woman to the room. Seeing how simple her luggage was, the netizens were shocked once again.
When Liang Jie expressed surprise that she wasn't wearing makeup and asked if that was really her bare face, the camera zoomed in for a closeup.
"F*ck, I didn't believe it before, but I believe that's her real bare face now."
"The lighting in the room isn't even that good, yet compared to Liang Jie, Ji Xiaonian just looks so beautiful!"
"I can't handle it, I just love this face so much."
"Good looks are useless if she has no acting skills but shamelessly clings on."
"That's right, who knows if she just had plastic surgery."
"Poster above, she may not have acting skills, but she has great vocals. Her singing is incredible."
"It's not plastic surgery, her features are exquisite yet not stiff, lively yet seductive - she's a sorceress!"
"Impossible, with looks like that she must have had work done."
And on screen, when Shen Shuyao came out, her pure and bright gaze, smiling self-introduction...
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh, mama loves you!"
"Princess, your loyal subject comes late!"
"Waaaaa, heavens, Shuyao is so gorgeous too!"
At this point, Ji Xiaonian on screen paused for a moment, then smiled and praised: "No, I think you're very beautiful."
"She praised our Shuyao?!"
"She has good taste!"
"Suddenly I don't dislike Ji Xiaonian so much."
At this time online, it was still very lively. Relaxing at home as she watched her own variety show, Ji Nian slowly appreciated how impressive Ji Xiaonian's looks were holding up.
It had to be said, this face looked beautiful from every angle on camera.
Ji Nian sighed. Compared to her previously ordinary face, there was no comparison with now. Although crossing over had saddled her with so much debt, at least her luck had turned out well, and she'd mostly paid it off.
Spending 10 million to buy this face did feel like a loss, but she was still quite happy. After all, it was the first time in her life experiencing being a beauty - who didn't like a glorious turnaround like this?
This season of the show was split into upper and lower halves. The first half that had aired so far went up to the part where they were preparing to cook. The second half would air next week.
Ji Nian saw that the part where she'd just gotten out of the shower and told Sheng Ge and the others she wanted to cook was right before a commercial break. The break included a preview of a scene from next week's second half showing a lively dinner scene, her playing the guitar intro to a song, interactions between her and Shen Shuyao, and strangely - pink bubbles floating around them...
Ji Nian was confused. She had found it odd all along - why did the clips with Shen Shuyao keep having random effects?
Although she felt it was weird, she wasn't the type to dwell on things. Seeing the time, she prepared to sleep.
Habitually, she opened WeChat, and suddenly saw notification of friend requests.
Clicking on them, they were from strangers, but with similar notes like "Hi Ms. Ji, I'm so-and-so from such-and-such company."
