Abstract Art Award Winner

Because each of them has a certain initial amount.

But these things were very expensive, and after looking around, they found very few things they could afford.

Before they came up, their personas had already been determined, just like in "Running Man". Now, during the filming in Wuhan, Lu Han's persona is that of a big boy, Chen He's persona is that of a comedian, Deng Chao's persona is that of an older brother, and Zhou Le's persona is that of someone who can improvise.

Seeing that he needed to make a purchase, Zhou Le used his points to buy a bag of sunflower seeds and then some drinks.

Then, Guo Qiling continued his sales pitch: "Brother Chao, how about buying me something to eat too? After all, we're friends, right? And I'm your guide. We still have a long journey ahead, we can't just starve to death on the ship, can we?"

From the very beginning, the program was set up so that they only knew they were having a meal on the ship and did not know that filming had already begun when they boarded the ship.

"You can't say that. This trip wasn't something we asked to start. You're basically a shady tour guide. You can't expect us tourists to pay for the tour guide's food, drink, and other necessities. If you want food, go ask the director."

Guo Qiling nodded and turned to the director: "Director, I'm hungry."

The tone of voice was just like saying, "Mommy, I want to drink milk."

But the director clearly had a plan. He knew these people were not easy to deal with. Deng Chao, Chen He, and Zhou Le were all top-notch "variety show geniuses," so he had made ample preparations before they arrived: "Our production team does not provide meals."

After a long argument, with Deng Chao, Chen He, and Lu Han constantly egging them on, the director finally agreed that points could be earned by completing tasks, and the first task was to answer questions.

But before answering the questions, everyone's cell phone had to be taken away and couldn't be used for the next three days, so they needed to call someone to let them know.

Deng Chao called Sun Li, Chen He called his current wife, and Lu Han called Guan Xiaotong.

Finally, it's Zhou Le.

"Director, can we only make one call?"

"It's okay to play more."

Afterwards, Zhou Le first dialed Su Yingxia's number: "Hey, Xiao Su, I'll be recording a show here these next few days and will need to collect my phone. Please take care of things at the company and with the other artists."

Then she called Tian Xiwei: "Xiao Tian, ​​have you joined the new film crew? Focus on filming there. I'm currently recording a variety show here and won't be looking at my phone for a while. Contact Sister Su if you need anything."

Afterwards, he also called Yu Shuxin and Meng Ziyi respectively.

After finishing the call, he didn't stop. He started calling people he knew, such as Nazha, Li Qin, Wu Jing, Han Han, and Xu Zheng.

The director realized this was no good. Was Zhou Le going to call everyone in the contact list? Wouldn't it be dawn by the time he finished?

"Time's up, you can't make any more calls."

Zhou Le put down his phone: "Ugh, didn't you say it was okay to call a few more times?"

Director: "But isn't this a bit too much?"

Zhou Le finally put down his phone, but Deng Chao then asked, "Director, aren't these questions all very difficult? If you give us some really obscure questions, how are we supposed to play?"

"Don't worry, this is all related to you. It won't be too difficult. After all, the production team hopes that you can have a happier journey."

Hearing the director's words, Zhou Le pouted: "Is that so? If you want to cheer us up, can you open the bathroom door first? We don't have money to open a bathroom, and we can't just relieve ourselves on the sofa, can we? After all, we're not Mera the Sea Queen."

Upon hearing this, the others were taken aback, wondering who was "Queen Mera"?
"Is she Captain Jack's ex-wife?" Lu Han suddenly asked, and everyone realized what she meant, bursting into laughter again.

"That won't do. A good life must be created by your own hands. The first question is a soccer question. Who wants to go first?"

Football should naturally belong to Lu Han.

Lu Han quickly finished answering the questions and earned a lot of points.

"Okay, the second set of questions is about math concepts. Who wants to do it?"

When it comes to math-related questions, everyone's attention is drawn to Zhou Le.

Zhou Le stretched his neck and said, "I'll do it. I don't think the production team will come up with anything too difficult, so there's no need for you guys to step in."

Soon, the director handed Zhou Le a piece of paper.

Zhou Le looked at him and said, "Ugh, are you insulting me? We're all so old, and you're still using quadratic equations as math problems? We get a five-dollar prize for this problem, right? How about you make it a little harder and raise the prize money?"

"Increase the difficulty, how difficult?"

"Whatever, but if the questions get harder, the bonus has to be increased."

"Okay, but if you can't do it, you'll lose points."

"Row."

As a result, the director simply went online and found a few calculus problems.

Zhou Le frowned immediately: "Director, isn't this a huge leap? From linear equations in two variables to calculus?"

The director looked at Zhou Le and thought for a moment: "If you can solve these questions, I'll give you an extra twenty yuan for each one."

"Really? Director, it's a deal!"

Zhou Le immediately beamed with joy, took a pen from the director, and began to answer.

While writing, he said, "These questions are considered introductory questions in calculus. These were the questions on our final exam back then. To be honest, they're not difficult at all. Brothers, you can pick and choose now. After you finish these questions, I'll get a hundred yuan. Whatever you want, it's on me!"

It has to be said that Zhou Le is a natural variety show personality. He is so comfortable in this kind of variety show. No wonder when he went to "Go Fighting!", he not only did not get tricked, but also taught the "Men's Gang" a lesson.

So, without any hesitation, everyone grabbed a can of beer on the spot, and then selected some daily necessities.

"Why are there disposable underwear? Why are they so expensive?" Lu Han asked, picking up a pair of disposable underwear from the cart.

“It’s okay, we don’t have to change them. These things aren’t necessary. If we continue to be this poor, I can keep them.” Chen He said defiantly.

"That's right, the main thing about us men is that we're not fussy. If there's nowhere to go to the toilet later, we'll find a way to take care of it. We don't even have to go to the bedroom."

Just then, Zhou Le suddenly said, "Let me take a look at those disposable underwear. I think it's not good for us to always be so unhygienic, but since we're going to buy them, we should at least check if the quality is worth the price."

After receiving it, Zhou Le unpacked it and applied it to his face: "Hmm, the material seems okay, but it's a little rough. I don't think it's worth the price."

Everyone was stunned. Zhou Le wasn't using his face to feel the material at all; he was clearly using it to wipe his sweat!
"Come on, let me experience it too." Deng Chao took it and kept wiping his hands. After eating sunflower seeds, there were always some crumbs on his hands, and he wiped those crumbs on his hands as well.

Following suit, Lu Han and Chen He also joined in.

Guo Qiling originally went to meet with the director to discuss his tasks, and then everything else was to cooperate with the other guests. But Zhou Le's start was just too explosive.

Since we can't handle it, we might as well join in.

"Bosses, you guys are being too rough. Who just opens the package and wipes their sweat on their face? Now I can't sell these anymore, I have to throw them away." Guo Qiling complained, grabbing the disposable underwear, and then threw it on the sofa.

"Not bad, you have character. That's how business should be done. Qi Ling, see what you want to eat. It's on me today."

Upon hearing this, Guo Qiling immediately beamed and grabbed a bag of spicy strips. Deng Chao, not to be outdone, immediately had Guo Qiling open a bottle of beer and drink it.

"Okay, thanks Chao-ge, I'll stick with you guys from now on."

But then the director said, "You need to be clear about your role. You're the tour guide, you're on our side. If you keep helping them, we won't settle your appearance fee later."

To everyone's surprise, Guo Qiling said directly, "I am now very suspicious of your motives. Who hires a guide and hasn't given him a bite to eat or drink since this morning? If I continue to follow you, I don't think I'll even make it off the ship."

This was also an unexpected situation outside the script. The director thought to himself, "This money is really hard to earn. Not only are the guests not following the script, but even the guide has turned against us."

Just then, Zhou Le had finished solving the calculus problems in his hands.

In fact, the program team had already prepared these questions and saved them in their favorites folder. They could open them whenever needed, and the answers were also prepared.

The staff member next to him took the answer and started comparing it with the handwritten answer.

"Just look at these questions, they're a piece of cake. I could have solved them right after graduating high school. In college, I wouldn't bother with such simple questions unless it was for exams," Zhou Le said confidently.

But as the staff were looking at it, they suddenly noticed something was wrong: "This is different; it's written incorrectly here."

The director perked up immediately, and then a staff member compared a line from their handwritten answer with Zhou Le's handwritten answer: "The correct answer here should be 'Main' = 6. You wrote it wrong!"

Zhou Le: "???"

"Are you sure?" Zhou Le looked at the differences between the two sides. Even though he was used to "abstract" things, he felt that this matter was too abstract.

"Yes, I copied this answer by hand."

Zhou Le sighed: "Why don't you take another look at the question? Are you sure that's 'Main' and not 'Z', and that the next one is '6' and not 'b'?"

After saying that, Zhou Le looked at the director and said, "Director, the proctor misread the question. I need to pay more. You need to give me an extra twenty yuan for this question."

The director was aware that his staff's education level was probably not as good as Zhou Le's, especially in mathematics: "We did make a mistake, so we'll give you an extra ten yuan."

"Director! If you can't trust people, you can't gain their trust. In ancient times, kings would swallow their insults and let it go. We can't do any worse than the ancients today, can we? Forty dollars, just pretend nothing happened!"

The director sighed: "Twenty yuan, or should I have the post-production team cut this part out?"

"That must be twenty yuan. Knowing when to advance and when to retreat is my greatest strength. Of course, I also have another strength: I am easily satisfied."

In this way, Zhou Le earned another twenty yuan. However, since his brothers had already started eating and drinking while they were doing the exercises, after receiving the money, Zhou Le transferred another 115 yuan to Guo Qiling, who was acting as both guide and cashier, leaving him with only five yuan.

After answering the questions correctly and incorrectly, Chen He and Deng Chao also earned some money.

The next task was to select a couple from several videos, with each video corresponding to a different amount of money.

Zhou Le was very lucky to choose the couple with the 88 yuan, and his money suddenly came to 93 yuan.

"Let's spend some money!" "We're rich now!" "Let's open this fruit platter first!" "And open those potato chips too, come on, everyone, let's eat together, it's on me today!"

After a period of spending, Zhou Le had only three yuan left in his hand, and the scene was filled with joy.

Just as the group was halfway through their meal, the director suddenly reminded them, "Your restrooms aren't open yet. With all this food, aren't you worried about not having a place to use the restroom tonight?"

Zhou Le waved his hand dismissively: "It's okay, Director, you don't need to worry about this. I have a way to find a place to go to the toilet. This yacht is so big, surely we can find a place to stay?"

"Haha, if you put it that way, I do have a rather unethical idea," Chen He chimed in.

“To your immoral idea, I also have two rather immoral additions,” Deng Chao retorted, equally unwilling to back down.

The director was completely dumbfounded. Finally, he looked at Lu Han and asked, "Lu Han, what unethical suggestions do you have for these two unethical additions?"

Lu Han's mind couldn't keep up with the thought processes of the "abstract" group for a moment.

But how could Zhou Le let his words fall to the ground?

"Director, aren't you putting Lu Ge in a difficult position? Everyone was just joking around earlier, and now you're opening the toilet? I'll cover all the expenses on the ship today!"

The director then reminded him, "But you only have five dollars left."

Zhou Le: "It's okay, I'll owe it to you for now and pay you back later."

The director shook his head: "We don't have the option of owing money."

Zhou Le said decisively, "Then it's nine outs and thirteen returns!"

"make a deal!"

Zhou Le's few words brought out the best in the show, and the director knew that continuing to force it would only make the show less interesting.

But seeing Zhou Le's extravagant spending, Deng Chao finally stepped forward: "No, no, no, you're just too loyal. There are so many of us, how can we let you spend all this time? I'll make the decision, let Lu Han open the restroom!"

Lu Han: "???"

Chen He chimed in, adding fuel to the fire: "I agree."

Guo Qiling walked directly to Lu Han with his phone in hand: "Boss Lu, shall I transfer the money?"

But Lu Han is definitely not a stingy person: "Here, it's on me! The brothers came out to record a show together, so I have to show my appreciation. Today, this 'freedom to poop' is on me!"

Lu Han transferred the money on the spot, and after the transfer, the group went to open the door.

When they opened the bathroom door, they discovered that the money was just an admission ticket! The toilet paper and the toilet itself were also locked!
"what!"

"What a swindler!"

"We've been tricked!"

"It's so dark, and why is the toilet locked?" (End of Chapter)
