The overly proactive 95-generation actresses in the Chinese entertainment industry

Recording of Chapter 97 begins

He Jiong walked over to the five people and said with a smile, "Wow, everyone looks so beautiful today! Especially Lin Yu and Bai Lu, their white outfits make them look like they stepped out of a painting!"

"Absolutely!" Xie Na chimed in from the side. "I saw them backstage just now, and I thought I'd traveled through time!"

The audience laughed.

"Alright, enough chit-chat, teachers, please give us a rendition of 'Phoenix Prisoner'!" He Jiong said.

The music is ringing.

Guan Xiaotong and Song Weilong spoke first.

Guan Xiaotong's voice is sweet, and Song Weilong's voice is steady. Their duet was quite harmonious.

But it gives the impression that everyone is singing their own tune.

It's like two solo singers being forced together; technically there's no problem, but there's no emotional connection.

Wu Jinyan continued singing. Her voice was deep and resonant, and she sang well, but there were no particularly outstanding moments.

Then it was Lin Yu and Bai Lu's turn.

The moment Lin Yu spoke, the entire recording studio fell silent.

His voice was deep and clear, with a unique quality.

Every word was pronounced clearly, and every sound landed in the most comfortable position.

The high notes are clear and bright, the low notes are deep and resonant, and the emotional layers are extremely rich.

Bai Lu continued singing.

Her voice is so much better than before; it's rich, clear, and textured, and it's in no way inferior to professional singers.

The duet between the two was absolutely amazing.

The high and low notes blend together like two rivers flowing into the sea, harmonious, natural, and seamless.

The audience was so engrossed that they forgot to breathe.

He Jiong stood to the side, his eyes widening in disbelief.

Xie Na stared wide-eyed, her face filled with disbelief.

Vega's mouth opened slightly, and he froze on the spot.

Wu Xin was unusually clear-headed, staring intently at Lin Yu and Bai Lu.

Du Haitao went even further, opening his mouth wide enough to fit an egg.

Guan Xiaotong, Song Weilong, and Wu Jinyan stood to the side, each with a different expression.

Guan Xiaotong's eyes showed surprise and envy.

Song Weilong's expression was complex, showing both surprise and resentment.

Wu Jinyan, on the other hand, was simply appreciating it, a smile playing on her lips.

After the song ended, the entire recording studio was silent for two seconds.

Then, applause and cheers came like a tidal wave.

"That's amazing!" He Jiong was the first to react and walked over to Lin Yu and Bai Lu.

"Lin Yu, Bai Lu, your singing skills are amazing! Especially Lin Yu, it's a shame you're not a singer with that voice!"

"Teacher He, you flatter me. I was just singing casually," Lin Yu said modestly.

"Just singing casually?" Xie Na exclaimed dramatically. "If you sing like this casually, what chance do other singers have if you sing seriously?"

The audience burst into laughter.

He Jiong then looked at Bai Lu: "Bai Lu, I remember you said before that you didn't study singing? With your skill level, you could totally participate in a singing competition!"

"Thank you for the compliment, Teacher He," Bai Lu said with a smile, her eyes involuntarily glancing at Lin Yu.

He Jiong noticed the look in his eyes and thought to himself: These two people have a special relationship.

But he didn't point it out; he just smiled and continued hosting.

In the following interview, He Ling asked several questions related to the filming of "Phoenix Prisoner".

"Were there any interesting things that happened while filming?" He Jiong asked.

Guan Xiaotong started by talking about how she was scared by a horse on set. She told the story vividly, and the audience laughed a lot.

Song Weilong shared his experience of memorizing lines, which was rather bland, and the audience's reaction was lukewarm.

Wu Jinyan recounted her discussion of the role with the director, which was quite professional, but the audience didn't quite understand it.

When it was Lin Yu and Bai Lu's turn, Bai Lu also gave a speech.

Lin Yu picked up the microphone and smiled: "Actually, there's not much to say. I just feel that everyone has worked hard filming, and I want everyone to relax a bit."

"You're so relaxed, your skill level is amazing," He Jiong joked. "If you don't have any acting roles in the future, you could consider becoming a resident singer."

Throughout the interview, Lin Yu and Bai Lu had the most screen time and the most natural interaction.

Guan Xiaotong and Song Weilong interacted relatively little, and the two clearly maintained a distance between them.

Wu Jinyan, on the other hand, was quite conventional, neither stealing the spotlight nor causing any awkward silences.

The first game segment was "Guess the Hand".

In the first round, a hand reached out from behind the barrier.

That hand was fair and slender, with neatly trimmed nails.

"Whose hand is this?" He Ling asked.

Guan Xiaotong glanced at it but didn't say anything.

Song Weilong also looked at it and shook his head.

Wu Jinyan tilted her head and thought for a long time, but still couldn't guess it.

Bai Lu glanced at it and immediately raised her hand.

"It's Lin Yu's hand!"

"Are you sure?" He Jiong asked.

"I'm sure!" Bai Lu said with certainty.

The barrier came down, and Lin Yu was indeed standing behind it.

"Wow, Bai Lu, how did you guess that?" Xie Na asked curiously.

"Lin Yu has very long fingers, and he has a small callus on his ring finger, which he got from playing the guitar," Bai Lu explained.

"I just saw a very faint callus on the ring finger of that hand, and I knew it was him."

"That's so thoughtful!" He Jiong exclaimed. "You two play a married couple in the drama, and your chemistry off-screen is amazing!"

Bai Lu smiled but offered no explanation.

Of course, she wouldn't say that she had held Lin Yu's hand countless times and knew every detail of that hand like the back of her hand.

In the following rounds, others also guessed correctly a few times, but in terms of teamwork, no one could match Lin Yu and Bai Lu.

The second game segment was "Close Your Eyes When It Gets Dark".

This is an undercover game.

Each person will be dealt a card. The person who gets the undercover card must hide their identity, while the others must find the undercover agent.

In the first round, Lin Yu received the undercover card.

His expression remained unchanged, still indifferent.

The game begins, and everyone takes turns speaking.

Guan Xiaotong said, "I think this game is quite difficult."

Song Weilong said, "I agree."

Wu Jinyan said, "I think so too."

Bai Lu glanced at Lin Yu and said, "I think the undercover agent is probably a very smart person."

Lin Yu said, "I think the undercover agent might be a very stupid person."

The entire room fell silent for a second.

Then Xie Na burst out laughing: "Lin Yu, who are you insulting?"

Lin Yu looked completely innocent: "I was just saying."

During the voting process, most people voted for Song Weilong.

Song Weilong looked completely bewildered: "Why me?"

"Because you're too quiet, like you're hiding something," Guan Xiaotong said.

Song Weilong was eliminated, and the cards were revealed to be ordinary players.

The game continues.

In her second speech, Bai Lu said, "I think the undercover agent is still on the field."

Lin Yu said, "I think so too."

Bai Lu added, "I think the undercover agent is probably the least like an undercover agent."

Lin Yu said, "I think the undercover agent is probably the one who most resembles an undercover agent."

The two of them talked back and forth, as if they were practicing Tai Chi, or perhaps covering for each other.

Everyone else was completely confused.

During the voting process, Guan Xiaotong was voted out as a commoner.

After several rounds.

The game is over, the undercover agent has won.

Lin Yu turned over his cards to reveal his undercover identity.

Bai Lu was also an undercover agent.

"Holy crap!" Xie Na exclaimed, "Lin Yu, you've been hiding this for ages!"

"Lin Yu and Bai Lu work together so well!" He Ling exclaimed.

"Those two spoke in turns just now, one after the other, and they completely confused everyone!"

Bai Lu stood to the side, a smug smile on her lips.

The last part of the program recording was announcing the broadcast time of "Phoenix Prisoner".

Five people stood in a row, holding up signs that read the broadcast date.

"Phoenix Prisoner, January 2nd, Hunan TV, 1 PM sharp!" He Jiong announced.

A round of enthusiastic applause erupted from the audience.

"Finally, I wish all our viewers a Merry Christmas Eve and a Merry Christmas!" He Jiong said.

The five of them waved to the camera together.

"Merry Chrismas!"

Recording complete.

Director Liu Wei walked out of the control room with a big smile on his face.

"Thank you all for your hard work! Today's recording went very smoothly! Especially Lin Yu, he performed exceptionally well! He had a great presence on camera and reacted quickly; the editors will definitely give him more screen time!"

"Thank you, Director," Lin Yu said politely.

He Jiong walked over and patted Lin Yu on the shoulder.

"Lin Yu, you did a great job today. I'll treat everyone to a late-night snack tonight, want to come along?"

"Okay, thank you, Teacher He," Lin Yu said with a smile.

The late-night snack was at a very famous barbecue restaurant in Shacheng.

He Jiong booked a large private room in advance, which can seat more than a dozen people.

Ten people sat around a large round table, which was covered with kebabs, crayfish, beer and drinks.

"Come on, everyone, you've all worked hard. Let me toast you all!" He Jiong raised his glass.

Everyone clinked glasses together, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

During the meal, Lin Yu neither tried to show off nor tried to keep a low profile.

He chatted with He Jiong about industry trends for a bit.

I chatted with Xie Na about my experiences on variety shows, with Wei Jia about my fitness tips, and with Wu Xin about my skincare routine.

He could respond to every topic, and the conversation flowed naturally, not like he was trying to please, but more like it was an instinct.

He Jiong looked at Lin Yu and nodded inwardly.

This young man has very high emotional intelligence.

He knows when to speak, when to keep quiet, when to show his abilities, and when to give the stage to others.

This sense of propriety is not something everyone possesses.

It was already past 11 p.m. when we finished eating.

The group walked out of the barbecue restaurant. The night breeze was a bit cool, but it felt nice on their faces.

"Thank you so much, Teacher He!" Lin Yu said to He Jiong.

"Don't mention it, let's keep in touch." He Ling patted Lin Yu on the shoulder.

Everyone took a taxi back to the hotel.

Lin Yu and Bai Lu were sitting in the back seat of the same car.

The car was quiet, and the driver had the radio on, playing an unknown song.

Bai Lu leaned against the car window, watching the night view flash by outside, without saying a word.

Lin Yu didn't say anything, he just sat quietly.

Upon arriving at the hotel, the two walked into the lobby together.

The receptionist saw them and smiled and nodded.

The elevator doors opened, and the two people stepped inside.

Guan Xiaotong, Song Weilong, and Wu Jinyan live on the eighth floor, while Lin Yu and Bai Lu live on the ninth floor.

The elevator stopped on the eighth floor, and the three people got out.

"Lin Yu, Bai Lu, goodnight," Guan Xiaotong said, turning around.

"Good night," Lin Yu and Bai Lu said at the same time.

The elevator doors closed and continued upwards.

We've reached the ninth floor.

The two people stepped out of the elevator and walked down the corridor.

Bai Lu's room is 9006, and Lin Yu's room is 9008; they are right next to each other.

Bai Lu walked to the door of her room.

She pushed open the door and glanced back at Lin Yu.

Goodnight, little Lin.

Goodnight, Sister Bai.

Bai Lu entered the room and closed the door.

Lin Yu also opened his door and went inside.

He took a shower, changed into his pajamas, and lay down on the bed.

Today's recording was exhausting; from afternoon to evening, there was almost no time to rest.

But he didn't feel tired; instead, he felt a strange excitement.

He appeared on "Happy Camp".

"Phoenix Prisoner" is about to air.

Everything is moving in a positive direction.

Lin Yu turned over, preparing to turn off the light and go to sleep.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
