Forty minutes later.
The grand feast began.
The live broadcast portion finally ended.
They couldn't film anymore; if they did, the champions wouldn't be able to eat.
Anyway, there was enough hype tonight.
The popularity topped the charts across all platforms.
The discussion around “What is an Actor” surged to unprecedented levels, surpassing all other popular variety shows airing at that time, directly claiming the top spot.
Chen Feng, in particular, became legendary after this battle.
Whether it was his vivid, alluring, and meaty Crossdresser succubus makeup, or the extensive knowledge he later displayed, identifying one luxury wine and food ingredient after another.
He won big.
During the talent show segment, he was completely slandered by some ill-intentioned individuals using trolls, but now he had a victorious comeback.
He ranked first in discussion across the entire network.
…
Actor Cabin backyard.
Although the temperature was cold and the chill was deep.
Everyone was high from drinking and eating.
The hype created by the production team tonight not only made their ten names famous but also ensured their experience was unprecedented and would never be replicated.
A BBQ that cost over a hundred million.
They drank millions and tens of millions worth of wine freely, and ate the highest quality ingredients as they pleased.
Tonight, no one mentioned maintaining their figure anymore.
Eat as much as you can.
This might be the only chance in their lives.
However, Chen Feng had a good idea.
According to his estimate, this BBQ wouldn't cost 170 million.
That was just a gimmick.
Although those antique wine bottles were quite valuable, it's likely that when they were acquired, the sellers might not have fully understood the true value of those wines.
Chen Feng, by embodying the role of an Appraiser, was able to accurately grasp the true price of the wine.
So, it shouldn't have cost too much when they were acquired.
As for the remaining ingredients, even if they were expensive, tens of millions would be the limit.
Therefore, the claim of over a hundred million for BBQ ingredients was for outsiders, for all the viewers watching the live broadcast.
The goal was to create a shock.
As for the actual cost, it probably wouldn't exceed thirty million.
The production team made a fortune.
Anyway, no matter what, having eaten a world-class, top-tier BBQ tonight, their sacrifices weren't in vain.
Thus, this grand feast lasted a full five hours.
…
Over the next week.
The production team didn't cause any more trouble, instead allowing everyone to live quietly for a week.
They interacted with each other and engaged in in-depth communication.
Everyone strictly interpreted the character image given at the beginning.
Until a week later.
Finally, the first time node arrived.
Mutual voting to choose partners.
Based on their interactions and performances over the past few days, they each voted for their preferred partner.
Those who mutually voted successfully formed pairs.
The remaining pairs would be decided by netizens.
…
This evening.
The ten individuals finished dinner early and returned to their rooms.
Everyone had to choose a voting target.
Thus, they were all a little nervous.
Will anyone choose me?
Who should I choose?
These were the questions most people were pondering.
Chen Feng didn't hesitate.
He had actually chosen his target long ago.
So, after returning to his room, he picked up his phone without thinking, wrote down a name, and immediately sent it to the production team's mailbox.
Five minutes later.
Everyone's voting results were out.
Around 8:15 PM.
The ten people's phones vibrated, receiving the first message.
“Voting results: only one pair successfully mutually voted. This pair is Chen Feng and Erma. Congratulations to both of you for successfully forming a team on your own.”
Upon receiving the message, Chen Feng smiled.
In the girls' dormitory.
Erma let out a surprised gasp.
So, Chen Feng also actively chose her?
How could that be?
This was too surprising.
It should be noted that since entering the cabin, Erma's presence had been the lowest.
Her interpretation of the domineering woman, if not for occasional interactions with Han Tao, the simp, might have gone unnoticed.
Moreover, her dance on the talent show day was quite niche.
Excluding the three who forfeited, her popularity was at the bottom.
So Erma never thought Chen Feng would actively choose her as a partner.
So excited!
Will she be sleepless tonight?
…
In stark contrast to Erma were the other eight people.
All their votes went nowhere.
Not a single match.
More ironically, all five women unanimously cast their votes for Chen Feng.
But Chen Feng only chose Erma.
Xu Nuo voted for Chu Ning.
Li Jiayi voted for A Yi.
Han Tao voted for Chu Ning.
Tao Yilun voted for Tang Xin.
So all their votes failed.
After the production team announced the first successful mutual pairing, they immediately opened the online voting channel for combinations.
One hour of voting time.
At that time, the netizens' voting data would be compiled to decide the allocation of the remaining eight people's combinations.
So, an hour later.
With the enthusiastic participation of tens of millions of netizens, the final allocation plan was officially released.
The remaining eight people's phones buzzed.
Partners officially announced.
First up were Chu Ning and Han Tao.
The reason given was that one was a lovesick woman and the other a simp, and netizens wondered if their combination would create any wonderful reactions.
The second group was Li Jiayi and A Yi.
These two were a tough guy and a tomboy.
The scene where A Yi opened the pickled vegetable jar and made Li Jiayi's face fall was still vivid in memory.
So, would these two be very funny?
The third group was Xu Nuo and Yu Zhiwen.
One a shut-in, the other a narcissist. Netizens wanted to see if the narcissist could influence the shut-in's state of mind; it was a showdown.
The fourth group was Tao Yilun and Tang Xin.
These two were an autistic person and a yandere.
Both were 'sick'.
Let them rub off on each other.
…
The combinations were finalized.
For the remaining almost half a month, each pair could get to know each other more deeply and discuss the performance for the New Year's Day special program.
The format of the New Year's Day special program was very unique.
The entire New Year's Day program was divided into two chapters, upper and lower.
For the upper chapter, the production team had already commissioned someone to create a script for the ten individuals to perform a stage play together.
For the lower chapter.
After the stage play, the ten pairs would present their own performances.
Entering a wonderful party mode.
This was the plan for the New Year's Day special program.
Therefore, the ten individuals not only had to prepare their own acts but also had to rush to the filming location three days before New Year's Day to rehearse a stage play.
At that time, everyone would have a new identity.
Chen Feng was very much looking forward to it.
Thus, the remaining days became much simpler.
The ten people paired up.
They all started preparing their own affairs.
There wasn't much entanglement between them anymore.
Chen Feng officially began a harmonious and pleasant way of interacting with Erma.
Strictly speaking, Erma was very easygoing and humble, not domineering at all.
The day after their mutual vote, when they were chatting alone in the backyard, Erma bravely asked the question on her mind: “Chen Feng, can you tell me why you chose me? I always thought you would choose Chu Ning.”
“Chu Ning?”
Chen Feng chuckled: “You don't really think she has a crush on me, do you? Besides, I like to see natural beauty, not artificially enhanced ones.”
“Ah?”
Erma was stunned, blinking as she said, “How is Chu Ning artificially enhanced?”
“I won't comment on that. You are all women, I believe you should be able to tell.”
Erma's expression suddenly became strange, and with a slight blush, she said, “So, you think I'm natural?”
Chen Feng smiled slightly.
The few labels he saw on Erma made her very appealing.
【Phoenix eyes】 【Cherry lips and jade nose】 【Natural skin, no flaws】 【Nine-head body proportion】 【Purely natural 36D that blinds titanium alloy dog eyes】 【Slender waist that can be grasped with one hand】 【Legs to play with for years】…
Although he hadn't observed her deeply, this was already very appealing.
An Yi girl from the Da Liang Mountains, carrying a simple and fresh aura.
Most importantly, she hadn't signed with a company yet.
So, Chen Feng took a liking to her.
