Three days later, all the guests of "Traveling Poor Together" were announced.
As expected, Bai Ye's participation set off a wave of discussion and pushed "Traveling Poor" to the top of the trending list.
With a good start, the recording of the show officially began.
"Traveling Poor" was recorded and broadcast at the same time. There were a total of six episodes this season, and they needed to film in six places.
Each episode would be recorded for a week, and the first episode would be broadcast the next weekend, and so on. Every episode would be broadcast the next weekend.
The recording period was one and a half months, which was a severe challenge for both the guests and the post-production staff.
Before leaving on the weekend morning, Qi Yuji was still worried. "Xing Xing, let me take you to the airport, okay?"
Qi Xingchen hesitated. "The recording starts at the airport."
"Then I'll send you to the parking lot and you can go up yourself." Qi Yuji said pitifully. "Otherwise, I'll miss you if you leave for so long."
He had no choice but to agree. He went upstairs and kicked away the Supreme suitcase that Qi Yuji had bought for him, and replaced it with his own ordinary suitcase.
When he was in the acrobatic troupe, he never brought a suitcase with him when he went out to perform. He always used a backpack.
He didn't want to bring one this time either, but Qi Yuji had given him a bunch of snacks and clothes because she was afraid that he wouldn't be able to eat enough and keep warm.
He threw the suitcase into the trunk and opened the car door.
He suddenly realized that not only was Qi Yuji in the backseat, but Father Qi was also in it!
"… Dad." Qi Xingchen had never called him that before. It took him a while to say, "When did you get in?"
"When you were packing up just now." Father Qi chose a very awkward excuse. "The airport is on the way to the company, so I hitched a ride."
Because of his rebellion, the original owner of the body wasn't very close to his father.
Qi Xingchen didn't expose him and jumped into the car.
Along the way, Qi Yuji kept telling Qi Xingchen to pay attention to this and that.
When they arrived at the airport, it was Father Qi's turn.
"Xing Xing, I've transferred some money to your card. Don't refuse it yet." Seeing the change in Qi Xingchen's expression, Father Qi hurriedly said, "I've watched a few episodes of that show, and I know that you shouldn't spend your own money.
If you don't spend it and keep it with you, Dad will feel more at ease. "
Qi Xingchen bit his lower lip. "Okay," he said. "Okay."
"Don't force yourself. If you feel wronged, just tell us. It's not like I can't afford to raise you."
"… I understand." Qi Xingchen took a deep breath. "Alright, it's time. I should go."
Father Qi Yuji and Father Qi nodded in unison, and the driver also looked reluctant.
Qi Xingchen turned around and left without looking back.
There were a total of three guests from City H, namely Bai Ye, the female lead of "Peaches of the Night", Tao Tao, and him.
The program team had already bought tickets for them, and the first gathering place was in the VIP lounge.
Thinking about how he was about to meet the female lead, Qi Xingchen couldn't help but frown.
At this moment, a message came in on his phone. [Your wealth card ending in 9999 has received 5000000.00 yuan, and your current balance is 7633254.21 yuan.
One, two, three … six zeros, five million yuan. Was this the "travel expenses" that Father Qi had mentioned?
Qi Xingchen sighed as he walked into the lounge, and then stopped.
It was the off-season of spring, and there weren't many tourists. There were about a dozen scattered here and there.
But when he looked up, it was as if he couldn't see anyone else. His eyes were completely attracted by the girl in the corner.
The girl was reading a book. She was wearing a white T-shirt and light-colored jeans, and her ponytail was tied up high. Even if he couldn't see her face, she exuded a soft glow from head to toe that said, "She must be very beautiful."
Qi Xingchen immediately shook his head, and the hairs on his body stood on end!
How was this a soft glow of "she must be very beautiful" — this was a f * cking protagonist's halo!
Qi Xingchen had seen this girl's photo before. She was clearly the female lead of "Peaches of the Night," Tao Tao!
At this moment, the cameraman of the program team noticed him and ran over with the camera. "Xing Xing, say hello to everyone."
"Hello everyone, I'm Qi Xingchen.
It's ten o 'clock in the morning. Have you all had lunch? "
The cameraman complained, "Who eats lunch at this time?"
Qi Xingchen said, "If you don't eat actively, there's something wrong with your mind."
His fallacious reasoning made the cameraman and the cameraman laugh. Tao Tao seemed to have heard the sound. She put down her book and looked up.
Qi Xingchen seemed to see a gardenia quietly blooming. It was so pure, shy, and beautiful.
He had to admit that the female lead's halo was really powerful.
Tao Tao's appearance was not beautiful, but it made people feel that she was very beautiful.
"You're Qi Xingchen, right?" Tao Tao put down her book and walked over. When she spoke, she was a little timid and looked very pitiful. "I'm Tao Tao."
"Just call me Xing Xing." Qi Xingchen maintained his smile. "Hello, Sister Tao Tao."
After greeting, he hinted to the cameraman that they should communicate.
Tao Tao's character was naturally not lively enough, so Qi Xingchen went to buy a few cups of coffee. After distributing it to the rest of the staff, he handed a cup to Tao Tao. "American, no sugar."
"Thank you, you understand." Tao Tao's eyes widened as she spoke. She was very sincere. "But I don't get fat no matter how much I eat. You don't have to take care of me."
As expected of the protagonist's halo. She didn't get fat no matter how much she ate.
Qi Xingchen joked with her and then said tentatively, "It's really unexpected to be on 'Budget'. I didn't expect it at all."
This position should have been Zhou Yu's, but his appearance disrupted the plot. He didn't know if the female lead had realized it.
"Who isn't?" Tao Tao smiled. "I just said that I wanted to rest for a while, so I came to experience life!"
This sentence was not a direct answer, so Qi Xingchen didn't test it.
The two chatted for a while, and there was a clear and rhythmic shout outside.
It was the support of Bai Ye's fans. It seemed that Bai Ye was also here. The cameraman and the cameraman immediately ran out with the camera.
The male and female leads were about to officially meet. Qi Xingchen's palms were sweaty.
In the original novel, Bai Ye, who didn't look at a woman for more than three seconds, would be shocked by Tao Tao's beauty and temperament for five or six seconds.
Of course, at this stage, the female lead was just a vase that was "much prettier than other women" in the male lead's heart.
In the next one and a half months of filming, the female lead would use her pure and kind character to make the male lead look at her in a different light.
Qi Xingchen observed the female lead's movements. The female lead didn't seem to show any abnormal emotions because of Bai Ye and continued to read with her head down.
After a while, A Lun and Bai Ye's agent, Zhao Nuo, escorted Bai Ye in.
Bai Ye was wearing a dark blue denim jacket today, which outlined his shoulders and waist perfectly.
His hair was slightly styled, and he wore black square sunglasses. His neck and wrists were clean, and he didn't wear any jewelry.
He slowly took off his sunglasses and his eyes fell on Qi Xingchen.
In the next moment, he was about to see Tao Tao. Qi Xingchen's heart suddenly jumped.
However, Bai Ye didn't look to the side. Instead, his gaze moved down and landed on Qi Xingchen and Tao Tao's coffee cups.
Qi Xingchen was speechless.
He was distracted by the female lead's protagonist aura. When he bought coffee, he only bought coffee for the people present and forgot about Bai Ye.
As a top celebrity, he shouldn't care about coffee that cost dozens of yuan, right?
Qi Xingchen stood up nervously. Tao Tao then put down her book and stood up with him. "Are the other guests here?"
After saying that, the camera guided Bai Ye to the two of them.
Tao Tao exclaimed, "It's actually Bai Ye. What a surprise!"
Hearing that, Bai Ye said, "Hello."
"I've seen your performance at last year's Xing Guang Ceremony," Tao Tao said. "It was very cool!
Bai Ye said, "You flatter me."
The camera and assistant were speechless.
Why did the atmosphere seem a little awkward?
In fact, this was also the reason why Bai Ye didn't accept variety shows. He was arrogant and could kill the conversation in an interview. If he went on variety shows, he would either freeze the other guests to death or tire the director to death.
Tao Tao wasn't embarrassed. She still looked at him with a smile.
Bai Ye didn't seem to see such a beauty. He said to Qi Xingchen lightly, "What time did you arrive?"
Bai Ye responded and then led A Lun away …
He just turned around and left.
He didn't act out the scene written in the original story.
Qi Xingchen fell into deep thought again.
After finding a good place to sit down, Bai Ye turned his head slightly and found that no one followed behind him.
… Shouldn't fans follow their idols?
After all, it wasn't the official filming yet. The production team of Budget Travel booked business class tickets for the guests.
Zhao Nuo, Tao Tao, and Qi Xingchen were sitting together. She explained very smoothly, "Our Bai Ye's personality is like that. I'm sorry for neglecting you guys just now."
Tao Tao said, "It's okay. We're not familiar with each other yet. It's normal."
Yes, you guys will love each other dearly in the future.
Qi Xingchen lay sideways on the back of the seat and flipped through a magazine in boredom.
Then he felt the back seat shake twice.
Maybe he was woken up by the sound of talking. Bai Ye turned over.
Qi Xingchen had an idea. He peeked his head through the gap on the inner wall of the cabin.
Bai Ye crossed his arms in front of his chest and closed his eyes. He was resting.
This was the first time Qi Xingchen saw his idol sleeping … Damn, how can he look so good even when he's sleeping? Is he human?
He's obviously an angel!!!
Qi Xingchen observed his fake idol without any psychological burden. He felt no difference between looking at a paper person and looking at a photo.
His forehead was full, his eyebrows were sharp, and there was a small mole on the left side of his high nose bridge, which made his facial features look sharper.
The night sky fans were obsessed with this mole. Every day on Weibo, they would shout, "Ahhhh, I want to lick it!!!"
The author of Peaches of the Night was no exception. After the female lead and the male lead fell in love, they really did lick it.
Hiss — It was a bit exciting to peek at the male lead next to the female lead.
Afraid of being discovered by the female lead, Qi Xingchen took one last look.
Just as he was about to retract his head, Bai Ye's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened!
He met Qi Xingchen's eyes!
Caught peeking, Qi Xingchen's heart skipped a beat.
He wanted to retreat immediately, but he was afraid of looking guilty. He could only stay where he was and stare at Bai Ye.
After a long time, Bai Ye finally opened his mouth.
His voice had a hint of laziness. "Have you seen enough?"
Bai Ye: "If you've seen enough, go back and rest. Or did you drink too much coffee and can't sleep?"
