The 'cheat sheet' Li Han gave had four sets of questions.
The first was a dying cancer patient and a female nurse.
The second was a down-and-out man about to jump from a building and a female police officer.
The third was a beggar man on the street and a rich young lady.
The fourth was an undercover male police officer, tormented and full of wounds, and the only daughter of a crime boss.
After reading all four sets of questions, Chen Feng silently looked up at Zhuang Feifei.
Damn!
Playing so ruthlessly?
Who the hell came up with these questions?
So all the questions are designed to screw over the male actors?
Damn it!
Not a single male character is good.
All the female characters are incredibly glamorous.
What's going on?
The power of capital is truly immense.
Who exactly is behind Zhuang Feifei?
For her to be called one of the Beijing Circle's Three Sisters, her background must be quite complex.
Chen Feng hadn't looked into her much, so he wasn't very clear.
Now it seems even the production team is acting like a subordinate.
Forget it!
Getting angry is useless.
Thinking about it carefully, which variety show doesn't have shady dealings?
Since we're here, let's make the best of it.
...
The daytime passed quickly.
Finally, it was time for the live broadcast in the evening.
All five groups of contestants were in position.
In the lounge.
The live broadcast of the stage was already playing on the big screen.
There were many viewers.
The camera focused several times on Heitu, who was in a prominent position in the audience, and with such a big shot present at the live broadcast, the viewership surged.
So his closed-door disciple, Xu Yao, also had a triumphant look on his face.
The contestant in the same group as him, who was competing against him, had already given up hope.
Definitely no chance.
Soon, the opening remarks of the live broadcast ended, and the 10-to-5 knockout round officially began.
First group: Zhuang Feifei vs. Chen Feng.
In the lounge.
When the two stood up, ready to walk to the live stage, the other contestants all stood up, applauding and loudly cheering them on.
But Li Han didn't move at all.
He was looking down, playing on his phone.
This person seemed to be on vacation.
In almost every competition, he was completely relaxed, without any pressure.
He's impressive.
So, Chen Feng and Zhuang Feifei walked onto the stage.
On the large stage.
Spotlights shone on the two of them.
The host excitedly introduced the two contestants, and finally, facing the camera, he loudly said, “Audience friends, tonight’s competition starts at its peak.”
“The topic chosen by these two contestants is an on-the-spot improvisation topic, and it’s also the most difficult test since the show began.”
“Let’s wait and see.”
“What kind of wonderful performance will these two bring us?”
“Now, let’s turn the camera to the four judges, and let them think of a topic for the two contestants on stage to perform.”
After speaking, he waved his hand towards the judges' seats.
The lights shone over.
The camera also filmed them.
The four judges sat upright, each with a relaxed, signature smile on their faces.
The host loudly said, “Now, please, four judges, discuss what kind of topic you will set for them to perform.”
At the judges' table.
The four of them huddled together.
They whispered in discussion.
On the stage.
Chen Feng looked at this scene, finding it amusing.
Act!
Just keep acting.
He used to often see people online exposing the dark secrets of variety shows, and those secrets sounded astounding.
Today, he finally saw a glimpse of it.
All four of them, every single one, acted so convincingly.
He had thought Director Jiang Wen was a tough guy who wouldn't compromise with the power of capital.
Now it seems, he's just like the rest, right?
Soon.
The four judges sat back down.
Jiang Wen, sitting in the middle, moved the microphone in front of him, cleared his throat, and slowly said in his unique husky voice, “The four of us discussed it.”
“Because… Zhuang Feifei, she is already a somewhat famous actress.”
“She has also participated in many film and television dramas.”
“Her strength is evident to all.”
“And Chen Feng, having come all the way here from the auditions, I have carefully watched every one of his performances.”
“To be honest, I admire his understanding of each character.”
“Therefore, this test’s topic is very difficult.”
“The scene we have set for them is a special care ward.”
“Chen Feng will play a terminally ill cancer patient, and he needs to portray feelings of pain and despair.”
“As for Zhuang Feifei, she will play a special care nurse.”
“She needs to portray the feeling of grief and self-blame that an angel in white feels when she realizes a patient is about to pass away.”
“Alright, that’s it.”
“We hope the two actors will not let down the expectations of the audience and will do their best to bring a wonderful performance to everyone.”
Jiang Wen finished speaking.
On stage, the system's notification sound finally echoed in Chen Feng's mind.
Ding, detecting the host's upcoming target role as 'dying cancer patient.' Congratulations, host, on becoming a true cancer patient.
The host is about to enter a dying state.
Chen Feng was startled.
Holy hell!
Quickly exit the cancer patient role.
Damn!
Does the system have to be so serious?
Give me some preparation time, please?
Just directly dying?
This time, it's really going to be the death of me.
A dying cancer patient?
You guys really know how to choose, you just like to see me suffer, don't you?
If I really get into character later, will I accidentally really pass away?
Chen Feng was depressed.
But Zhuang Feifei, standing next to him, was full of pleasant surprises.
Angel in white, little nurse.
That's great.
This really has no difficulty.
So, the smile on Zhuang Feifei's face seemed impossible to hide, revealing itself.
It was even captured by the camera.
He didn't know if the photographer was too engrossed, but he even gave her a close-up of her face.
Damn!
She was smiling so triumphantly.
On the live streaming platform.
I am truly speechless. Is Chen Feng's fate just not compatible with the production team? Not once has he had a good-looking role.
Shady dealings, absolutely shady dealings. I feel bad for Chen Feng.
Hey, look at that triumphant smile on Zhuang Feifei's face. Her triumphant smile, her triumphant smile...
He's definitely being messed with.
A dying cancer patient, is that easy to act? Is it just about makeup?
I'd love to see Zhuang Feifei in a nurse's uniform, tsk tsk tsk, everyone move aside, I'm about to drool all over the screen.
Nurse uniform? Holy cow, it looks good.
Are there high-waisted stockings?
Haha, high-waisted stockings and a nurse's uniform? So excited! Typing with both hands to prove my innocence.
Playing a nurse just brings out so many perverts?
Turn off the bullet comments for safety.
...
On the stage.
Chen Feng and Zhuang Feifei temporarily left.
They needed simple makeup and a change of costume.
The host was warming up the crowd.
All the viewers in front of their televisions were nervously anticipating.
This first competition was the climax.
An on-the-spot improvisation topic.
One plays a nurse, the other plays a dying cancer patient.
Exciting!
