Chapter 170.2 [Extra seven]
Editor: Jodi
‘Let’s Date’, as a variety show that had newly been launched by Shanzhu Platform, could be said to have not attracted much attention from investors and netizens when it was just announced.
This type of variety show had been done by other TV stations before. ‘Let’s Date’ simply gathered couples that had made official announcements as well as single men and women together, something which wasn’t considered a novel aspect. So, there wasn’t much anticipation from the audience.
“The ones participating in this kind of variety show must be B-list stars. Who among the A-listers would dare to participate in such a show?”
“Exactly, which popular celebrity or rising star would dare to participate? Their studios would be torn apart by fans the next day.”
“I’m not interested in second-tier celebrity couples, I just want to see popular celebrity couples.”
“I checked the list of invited guests and I’m not interested at all. Sigh, I also want to see popular celebrity couples on this show. Who wants to see second-tier celebrities?”
All the netizens sighed one by one.
And investors also shared this sentiment, as they thought to themselves that none of the participants seemed capable of carrying viewership. If by that time no one watched, then wouldn’t their investment be in vain?
The program team searched for a while and only found a few brands with relatively low offers. However, no one expected that half a month later, Lin An Lan and Cheng Yu would officially announce their relationship, and even more surprising was that these two, who were not expected to accept the invitation, actually agreed!
Causing the program team to suddenly gain confidence and resume discussions on investment and sponsorship, and after reaching agreements, they made their announcement hurriedly.
Their announcement was arranged according to the hierarchy of celebrities, but with Lin An Lan and Cheng Yu placed last to deliberately create suspense.
‘Let’s Date’ V: The last two, the trendiest CP, with unresolved drama on-screen and love off-screen, will be officially unveiled on the day of filming.
Initially, this announcement didn’t attract much attention. After all, very few people followed the official account of this program to begin with. However, the program team coincidentally released a poster silhouette which closely resembled the classic light and shadow division poster of ‘Yun Yun’ that featured Gu Shuyu and Jing Huan.
Causing a passerby who paid attention to the program to bring the announcement as well as the silhouette picture to a forum to ask, “Who do you think this refers to, could it be Lin An Lan and Cheng Yu?”
“Impossible.” A netizen replied, “What status do Lin An Lan and Cheng Yu have that they would appear on this kind of show? Are they crazy?”
“Exactly, they’ve only just made an announcement, so it’s unlikely they’d join a variety show so soon.”
“I’m actually looking forward to them appearing on a variety show. I’ve already watched ‘Backpacking For Youngsters’ five times. I want to watch new sugar.”
“Upstairs+1, woo woo woo, I also want to watch new sugar.”
“Who doesn’t want to? How come they suddenly announced it? When did these two get together?”
“I know, I know, I’ve read through the special pages of the Yu Lan thread, and according to the sisters in page eight of the thread, Cheng Yu might have liked Lin An Lan before filming, but it’s not clear when Lin An Lan started to like Cheng Yu.”
“So curious, when will Yu Lan give an interview and talk about their love story? Ah, so curious!”
“Same here!”
“So, you guys don’t think Yu Lan might appear on ‘Let’s Date’? But why do I feel like the silhouette really resembles them? And the fact that the title sponsor of this show was a different brand before, but now it’s suddenly changed to this brand, it feels like a big star has joined.”
“That’s impossible. Although I really hope Yu Lan will join, this kind of show has honestly never had big stars, so it’s definitely impossible.”
“If it really is Yu Lan, then this show is going to make a fortune. These two are so popular now, they would instantly boost the entire program. Who wouldn’t want to see them sprinkle sugar on each other live? If ‘Let’s Date’ can really invite them, I’ll be its loyal fan from now on!”
The undercover Shanzhu Platform staff on the forum thought to themselves: Looks like you won’t be able to escape being a loyal fan.
This was Lin An Lan’s first time recording a dating variety show, so he read the email forwarded to him by Zhuo Siya from the program team carefully, then prepared everything that needed to be prepared before he felt at ease.
Zhuo Siya: [Couples like you two who have already made an official announcement are different from the other single artists. The program team wants to capture your daily life, that is, on the day filming starts, they plan to record you from the time they go to pick you two up. Is that okay?]
Lin An Lan didn’t mind, and Cheng Yu didn’t either, causing the program team to be very surprised by their easygoing attitude. After all, the other announced couple had made many demands before agreeing reluctantly. Compared to them, Lin An Lan and Cheng Yu seemed very gentle and easy to talk to.
On the day of recording, the cameraman arrived at Cheng Yu’s house early.
Cheng Yu opened the door, and the director and cameraman walked in together.
The director was pleasantly surprised to see that he wasn’t wearing pajamas, but a thin sweater and jeans, and guessed that he had been awake for a long time. He whispered emotionally, “You guys got up so early.”
“Today is an exception. I knew you were coming, so I got up early.”
“Where’s Teacher Lin?” The director asked.
“He’s still washing up. You should be able to see him soon.”
Very excited, the director whispered, “Can we film? Just filming washing and brushing teeth is enough, we won’t film anything else.”
“Let me see if he’s done.” Cheng Yu smiled.
The director nodded repeatedly, feeling that he was the most easygoing person among the celebrities he had encountered.
There were many stars who weren’t as kind as he was. He really deserved to be famous!
Cheng Yu walked to the bathroom door, knocked on it, walked in, then saw Lin An Lan brushing his teeth in front of the mirror.
His cheek was bulged out on one side, making him look very cute.
Cheng Yu poked it a little then asked, “The program team wants to film you brushing your teeth and washing your face. Is that okay?”
Lin An Lan: ??
Lin An Lan didn’t see anything worth filming, however he didn’t mind, so he just nodded, indicating it was okay.
Smiling, Cheng Yu kissed him on that bulged cheek. “Then I’ll go tell them.”
Lin An Lan nodded again.
He basically didn’t talk much when he was brushing his teeth. Most of the time he just shook his head or nodded his head, looking very obedient and well behaved. In Cheng Yu’s eyes, he was absolutely adorable.
Cheng Yu poked his bulging cheek again, then walked out and said to the cameraman, “You can film now.”
The cameraman walked in with the camera.
And Lin An Lan happened to have just finished rinsing his mouth and was about to wash his face.
He was still wearing pajamas, showing obviously that he had gotten up a little later than Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu went to the kitchen to start cooking, and the cameraman responsible for filming him followed behind him silently.
Lin An Lan finished washing his face, and when he turned around, he saw the camera.
He smiled at the lens, and the cameraman was surprised that he looked so good even without makeup that he froze for a moment before he smiled back at him.
