The class quickly passed. Although there were some individual hiccups, the overall learning process was smooth. In Zhao Hao's opinion, this 'class' wasn't really a class at all; it was more like a presentation promoting Saudi Arabia and China's interactions and culture.
After the Hua Shao Group finished their studies, the most stressful period of their student days arrived: exams! This terrifying word, long absent from the memories of the eight people present, reappeared in this classroom.
“Let’s have a small test!” Counselor Amun said softly to the eight people seated, adding, “Is that alright?”
“Yes!” *8
After answering, Zhao Hao didn't know what the rest of the Flower is Young group was thinking, but he knew how 'wronged' his own 'yes' felt. This had nothing to do with whether he had the skill of photographic memory; it was simply a student's natural fear of exams.
---- During the Exam ----
As time gradually passed, the exam ended. After a 'highly professional' mutual grading of the papers, Zhao Hao, who was already familiar with Arabic and possessed the photographic memory buff, naturally took first place in the exam with a perfect score of one hundred.
After Counselor Amun distributed gifts to everyone, this small Saudi Arabia class was declared over.
As a production assistant handed a mission card to the Hua Shao Group, Reba readily took it and read it aloud: “flowers and youth silk road season congratulates the Hua Shao Group on successfully completing their first class. Departure is imminent, and we believe you must be very curious about who the first tour guide of this season will be!”
“Eight mysterious treasure chests will soon appear at your homes. Open them, and you’ll know if you’re the guide! Go back and check!” Reba quickly read the words on the mission card, then looked around at the other seven people.
“Can we not ride bicycles back? Please, I’m begging you, really! An hour!” Hu Xianxun heard Reba’s words and suddenly remembered that his tragic day started with a bicycle, especially since Hu Xianxun lived the furthest from Saudi Arabia.
After he finished speaking, Hu Xianxun stared at the Director Team with his big eyes. Everyone couldn't help but laugh at Hu Xianxun's appearance, but then they all looked at the director, waiting for the Director Team's reply.
The on-site production assistant shook his head, “The cars to pick you up are already outside. They will take you back to your residences shortly!”
“Okay!” *8
After receiving a positive reply from the Director Team, the eight members of Flower is Young planned to leave and go home to prepare their luggage. Reba then remembered that they didn't have each other's contact information and quickly suggested, “Um, can we add each other’s contact information?”
Adding contact information! The second essential process in variety shows. As for what the first is? It's either genuine or feigned pleasantries. Exchanging contact information has become an unavoidable path in domestic variety shows! It can be said to be a simple exchange of contact information, or it can be said to be for the exchange of resources. After all, China is a society based on human connections, and you'll never know if a contact you unexpectedly add today will become a valuable connection tomorrow!
However, thoughts aside, Zhao Hao was the first to stand up and express his support for Reba. He then took out his phone even faster than Wang Anyu, skillfully unlocking the screen with one hand. “Let’s create a group face-to-face! The password is 1234. Everyone can join the group first, and then add friends inside.”
(High EQ: Responding to Reba's call. Low EQ: To be an admin!)
After a while, everyone joined the group chat. The first ID visible was that of Zhao Hao, the admin, with a nickname 'Shuai Dao Bei Ren Da' topped with a Gabumon avatar.
“Shuai Dao Bei Ren Da?” Reba looked at the ID, tapped to add him as a friend, then turned to Zhao Hao, the owner, “Is this your nickname?”
“Yes!” Zhao Hao nodded, feeling no embarrassment at all! After all, it was the truth. The original body's looks truly lived up to the three peak visuals! It was perfectly understandable to say he was so handsome he got beaten up. Most importantly, it was about his persona. Zhao Hao had set his persona from the beginning!
Zhao – Though only a junior high graduate – But handsome and diligent – Sticking to himself – Striving hard – An acquired academic genius in the Entertainment industry – A sunny big boy – Hao!
“Haha! Brother Zhao Hao is indeed handsome!” Qin Hailu also laughed looking at the name, then looked at Zhao Hao and said, finally not forgetting to include Wang Anyu and Hu Xianxun, “I think you guys can debut as F3.”
“And ‘Shiny Butt Light’?” Big Sister Qin Hailu also asked, looking at the nickname.
“That’s me!” Wang Anyu raised his hand to indicate it was him.
“And ‘badada’ is?”
“Me!” Reba said, looking up from her phone.
“What should we call this group chat?” After everyone finished asking and adding friends, Zhao Hao, as the group owner, posed a fatal question!
“Group name?” Wang Anyu also lowered his head and pondered deeply when he heard this question.
“How about Ba La La Little Magic Fairy? The ‘eight’ from one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight?” Seeing the sudden silence in the room, Zhao Hao suggested a group name.
“Okay!”
“Ba La La Little Magic Fairy!” Qin Hailu suddenly looked at the three males present, including Zhao Hao, when she heard this suggestion, “Then are you guys Little Male Fairies??”
“Haha.”
“Then that’s it!” Big Sister thought for a moment, a slight smile on her lips, then nodded, directly finalizing the name.
After setting the group name, everyone successively boarded the commuter vehicles prepared by the production team and returned to their residences in the capital.
In the car,
The accompanying director who was filming Zhao Hao sat opposite him and looked at him: “Zhao Hao, do you want to guess who the director for the first stop is?”
‘Is there even a need to guess?’ Zhao Hao, who already knew the answer as if it were an open-book exam, naturally knew the directors were Wang Anyu and Hu Xianxun. However, Zhao Hao didn't know if his arrival would cause a butterfly effect, but it should generally be similar. After all, the preparation of a program takes a long time, and it's impossible for a major sudden change to occur just because a guest suddenly joins, unless that guest is a superstar. But it’s obvious! Zhao Hao isn’t.
Of course! If there are changes, then Zhao Hao's words are meaningless!
Although he was very clear about the choice of guides in his heart, he still had to act.
The Thirty-Six Stratagems for Gaining Exposure in Variety Shows! Stratagem Five! I will give a stellar performance for the role you need me to play! Ultimately, variety shows all have scripts. It's just that the completeness of the script, the level of cooperation, and most importantly, the celebrity status of the guests, determine whether the script can proceed as the Director Team envisions.
Chicken Strip (first three seasons): What did you say? Script?
Everyone thinks that the choice of variety show guests is about their star power! Or their comedic ability! But the most important factor in choosing for variety shows is obedience, because what if a guest isn't funny? There's a script! What if a guest doesn't cue the process? There's a script! What if a guest can't speak? There's a script! What if a guest can't pick up on jokes? There's a script! This is also why reality variety shows are not broadcast live, because without the control of editing and repeated recording, the script would go in a direction completely uncontrollable by the Director Team! So the first choice for guests is obedience. Of course! If the star power is high enough, all of these can be completely ignored, but that is the privilege of only a few people!
“It should be two chosen from the three boys, right? Or maybe all three will be guides.” Although he already had the answer, Zhao Hao still lowered his head and briefly cosplayed a thinker. After all, according to the basic laws of editing, interviews like this generally aren't heavily edited, since it's just one question per person.
“Why?” Luyu face.JPG
“Because I speak Arabic! Wang Anyu’s English is also very good, and Hu Xianxun is a sunny boy. Although the other sisters are all excellent, we can’t let them get too tired from the start, so naturally, it would be the three boys.”
“Then do you think Reba has a chance of being chosen?”
