Huayu: We're asking you to act, and you're playing a superhuman?

Yang Mi held the microphone and pondered, scanning the men and women on both sides of the stage.

God knows why she would take time out of her schedule to come and record a program.

The Tiny Times project is in full swing, and Guo Jingming called five times to ask when I'd be back...

So, I came to Happy Camp just to promote the premiere of Gu Jian Qi Tan?

Yang Mi had this question in her mind, and then answered it to herself: Then my sacrifice is too great!

Just as Jiang Sanshi said, Happy Camp itself also has viewership targets, and the hosts need to find highlights in the program to attract viewers.

Yang Mi is a celebrity with high popularity and a lot of media attention, which made her a key target for the production team.

Just now, Xie Na, the host of Happy Camp who is responsible for asking guests offensive questions, finally threw Yang Mi an embarrassing and direct question.

"Honey, after what happened last year, do you still believe in love?"

If the production team hadn't been concerned about reputation, Xie Na would probably have called out Liu Kaiwei's name directly.

The invited atmosphere-setters in the audience gasped in surprise after she asked the question.

He Jiong carefully observed Yang Mi's reaction, knowing that if the situation got out of control, he would need to speak up immediately to quell it.

The other three hosts, as well as the actors from the Gu Jian drama crew, were all just background figures.

Yang Mi gripped the microphone tightly, a self-deprecating smile flashing across her lips: "I think the process of loving someone is more important; the result is just another matter."

Having debuted as a child star, she has experienced countless instances of bullying, both large and small, on set.

Compared to that, Xie Na's problem is simply not worth a second glance.

"What Mimi means is that love is about enjoying the process, but you can't be too demanding about the outcome, because the outcome requires effort from both parties, right?"

He Jiong displayed high emotional intelligence in his speech, preventing the atmosphere from cooling down.

Over the years, he has always been the one to wrap up the show for the production team.

Yang Mi gave He Jiong a forced smile, still giving him some face.

"Yeah! I'm still very young, and none of my friends are married yet, so why rush into marriage?"

"Do you have someone you like right now?"

Xie Na asked another offensive question, the leading statement seemingly carrying a hidden meaning.

He Jiong frowned slightly, knowing he needed to use his brain to control the situation again.

Yang Mi glanced at Xie Na, feeling a surge of dissatisfaction, but chose to remain patient.

"Of course there are people I like!"

Who is it?

"Leonardo DiCaprio, I'm not sure if he likes me."

"..."

Xie Na was speechless, and the scene erupted in laughter, led by He Jiong.

The program should have asked enough questions about Yang Mi by now, and all the topics that needed to be generated have been discussed.

However, it's unclear whether Xie Na received a notification from the production team, but she's still relentlessly pursuing Yang Mi, even going so far as to try and drag her into the mess.

"Honey, why didn't the male lead you worked with this time come on our show?"

"How would I know?"

Yang Mi's tone turned noticeably colder, and her face also fell.

Even as a top female celebrity, she has a temper.

Seeing that things were not going well, He Jiong immediately gestured to Xie Na, signaling her to stop.

Xie Na ignored him: "Why don't we try calling the male lead and see what he's up to!"

He Jiong was taken aback, and instantly realized that Xie Na's offensive behavior was due to the arrangements made in advance by the production team.

Although most variety shows have prepared scripts, due to the uncontrollable factors on set, the production team often uses multiple scripts to allow the hosts to improvise.

The script trope that Xie Na mentioned, which involves connecting with people who aren't present, is something we've recently started using, and it's been quite successful in terms of viewership.

Now Xie Na is using this tactic on Yang Mi, having her try to connect with Wang Weili, which is also guiding the audience to speculate and thus increase the ratings.

Having figured out the cause and effect, He Jiong stopped stopping Xie Na and instead gave Yang Mi a wink.

Yang Mi looked thoughtful, not because she was thinking about He Jiong's reminder, but because she thought that calling Wang Weili was actually a good suggestion!

Hmph! That brat tricked me into coming here to record a show, but he's not even here himself!

Let me see what you're busy with!

"Sure! Should I just call him?"

As Yang Mi looked around, her assistant standing below the stage had already taken out her phone.

He Jiong and Xie Na exchanged a glance and then signaled to the recording crew to play Yang Mi's phone conversation so that everyone could hear it.

The others remain just background figures...

"Beep~~"

"Hey, Honey, how's the recording going?"

The call went through smoothly, but Wang Weili's very opening remarks ruined the call's intended effect.

Yang Mi suppressed a laugh as she looked at He Jiong and Xie Na's stiff expressions, and deliberately asked, "How did you know I was recording a show?"

"During the recording, they suddenly make a phone call to someone off-site—do we even need to guess this old trick?"

Wang Weili is also a very witty person.

With his meddling, He Jiong and Xie Na were at a loss for how to make amends, while Yang Mi felt very relaxed and happy.

"You're so smart, you're the smartest! So what are you doing now?"

Time to go to work.

"You still have to go to work?"

"I'm not famous, I don't work, who's going to support me?"

Yang Mi's series of supporting roles immediately piqued the interest of the Happy Camp hosts and the audience in Wang Weili on the other end of the phone.

"Cough cough."

He Jiong coughed twice to remind Wang Weili of his presence.

Since the beginning of the phone call had already revealed that the program was being recorded, there was no need for him to hide it anymore.

"Hello, Wang Weili! I'm He Jiong from the Happy Family. Yang Mi is recording a show with us right now."

"Teacher He, this sudden video call wasn't your suggestion, was it?"

He Jiong was taken aback, but was not swayed by Wang Weili's question.

Why would you ask that?

"Was my guess right?"

"Uh...hehe, it really wasn't me."

"That's a shame. If two strangers suddenly connect online, it'll just be awkward small talk. If we continue, won't it affect the ratings later on?"

Wang Weili's sincere and honest question almost made He Jiong lose his composure.

Yang Mi didn't even bother to pretend; she just covered her mouth and burst into laughter.

Everyone except Xie Na had smiles on their faces, and the audience laughed the loudest.

The atmosphere is the most enthusiastic of all the episodes recorded so far.

Even though Wang Weili didn't show up in person, the audience was already amused by his witty and humorous way of speaking just by hearing his voice.

Seeing that everyone else was laughing, He Jiong could only laugh along with them.

"Willie, it's a pity you couldn't come to Happy Camp today. I look forward to having a good chat with you next time you come."

"I'm really looking forward to it too, thank you Teacher He, Sister Mi?"

"I'm here!"

Yang Mi spoke up quickly, her tense expression drawing attention.

"I have to get back to my manual labor now. Thanks for the call, it made work a little less boring."

"Pshaw~ What bricklaying?"

Yang Mi asked a question, but there was no answer on the phone.

The appearance of this live connection in the program was like a splash of color suddenly appearing in a rigid black-and-white film, refreshing and unforgettable.

After discussion, the production team ultimately decided to retain the entire conversation.
