My Wife Is a Superstar

Chapter 910 Stepped On A Landmine

Meanwhile, Ning Ran had just arrived at the set, which was a high-end residential area.

The show was titled Friends From Far Away. It was a reality show where the host would visit someone's houses as a guest.

Of course, both the host and the guest would be celebrities. The guest would then spend two days and one night at the house and stay in the same room as the host.

The purpose of this arrangement was to let both of them try and adapt to each other's lifestyles. While it seemed like an easy and enjoyable task, that was actually far from the truth. Because this was a live reality show, the entire episode would be streamed online. There would be no time for the film editors to cut out any mistakes made by the celebrities, so everyone watching would be able to see it.

On top of that, the celebrities were informed that there would be a total of three participants, but they would not know who the other guests would be.

Ning Ran got nervous the minute she entered the residential area.

Although she had starred in a few reality shows before, those were recorded and edited before being released, so the production team would be able to cut out any unpleasant parts.

A reality show that was streamed live, however, was a whole different ball game. The celebrities involved would have no chance to edit any mistakes they made on the show, and not knowing beforehand who they would be working with only raised the difficulty level even more.

They could only hope that they would not be paired with those who were prone to making mistakes.

“Ding Mi, the live stream will begin once you enter the elevator,” the director reminded her.

Ning Ran paused in her tracks when she heard that. “Huh? Is it still possible for me to back out of this now?”

"Of course not! We signed a contract, Ms. Ding. Our show ranks first among those under the same category, which means a lot of people like this show,” said the director.

Ning Ran knew that he was telling the truth. The company must have taken a lot of things into careful consideration when deciding to feature her in this reality show before the movie's release. “But I'm a little nervous,” Ning Ran protested with an anxious look on her face.

The director let out a chuckle. “You've been in far more stressful situations, Ms. Ding. I'm sure a successful celebrity like you has nothing to worry about!”

“No, no, no, I'm just a newbie. I'm not that successful! Could you please tell me who the owner of this house is? I just need a little hint! I'm really nervous right now!” Ning Ran pleaded.

"Hmm... I really can't tell you anything, but you've known this person for a really long time, so you have nothing to worry about,” said the director.

Ning Ran began running the list of people that she had worked with through her mind

I've only worked on a drama series, a film, and a few reality shows. Out of all the people I've worked with, less than ten of them count as celebrities. Since we'll be staying in the same room, it's highly unlikely that the director will choose male celebrities. Therefore, it's more likely that all three of us will be females because that will make things a lot more convenient. The only female celebrities I'm close with are Tang Jing and Ye Meng. The host would surely be the more popular one, and Tang Jing isn't that popular yet, so that means Ye Meng must be the host. My goodness... I can't believe I have to work with her again!

Ning Ran let out a wry chuckle at the thought of that.

The conflict between the two of them had never truly stopped. Ye Meng often bullied Ning Ran when the latter first started her career in the entertainment industry. However, Nan Chen helped Ning Ran fight back and ended up forcing Ye Meng into submission.

Ye Meng put up with it for the sake of making a comeback, but she still harbored a grudge against Ning Ran.

As such, Ning Ran knew that Ye Meng was bound to bully her in her house.

“The host is Ye Meng, right?” Ning Ran asked with a smile.

Wow... She has figured that out? She sure is a smart one!

The director froze when he heard that, but he chose not to answer her question. “You'll find out soon, Ms. Ding. Now, please get a move on.”

Ning Ran reminded herself that she needed to be extra careful if the host turned out to be Ye Meng. A camera was immediately pointed at her the moment she entered the elevator.

Ning Ran leaned forward and looked right at the camera as she said, “This is scary! I don't even know whose house I'm visiting!"

The netizens who were watching the live stream wrote in the comments: It's my house! She's visiting my house!

After reaching the top floor, Ning Ran stepped out of the elevator and saw that there was another machine at the door.

This reality show must be pretty popular if there are so many cameras and machines around!

With a nervous feeling in her heart, Ning Ran walked up to the door and rang the doorbell. However, she was not greeted by Ye Meng at the door as she had expected.

It was a nineteen-year-old girl who opened the door. She looked rather beautiful and had a lollipop in her mouth. “Oh, so it's you, Ding.”

Ning Ran racked her brain as she tried to figure out who that girl was, but nothing came to mind. “I'm sorry. You see, I'm not very good with faces, so I can't seem to recall who you are,” Ning Ran said with an apologetic smile.

"Oh, my name is Liyi Danfeng.”

Ning Ran quickly committed her name to memory and made sure to pronounce it correctly. “Liyi Danfeng...”

Hmm... I really don't recall knowing anyone with that name, though...

"I started my career by participating in singing competitions, Ding. I'm a newbie in the entertainment industry, so it's perfectly normal if you don't know me,” the young girl explained with a smile.

“I'm a newbie too. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance,” Ning Ran replied while holding her hand out.

"Oh, you're no newbie! That show of yours is a huge hit! My friends are all watching it! You nailed your role perfectly, and you look incredibly beautiful too!”

This young girl sure knows how to compliment others!

While Ning Ran felt a little less awkward with how well the conversation was going, the netizens were outraged.

Liyi Danfeng participated in a singing competition two months ago. She kept going off-key while singing, but she was a great dancer and dressed really sexily, so that made her really popular among the younger generation.

While her dancing was a huge plus, the judges were more focused on her singing abilities and disqualified her in the first round.

Of course, that did not sit well with the netizens who couldn't care less about the nature of the competition.

All they knew was that their favorite idol had been disqualified by the show, and they were not about to sit by and do nothing.

As a result, Liyi Danfeng, who had been disqualified in the first round, made it to the top of the popularity ranking with the help of those angry netizens.

They didn't really like her all that much, but a majority of the younger netizens voted for her simply to spite those who disqualified her.

Just like that, Liyi Danfeng's popularity skyrocketed over a short period of time.

The purpose of talent shows was simply to help celebrities gain popularity, so no one really cared if they were actually talented.

Liyi Danfeng became popular even though she was bad at singing, so the entertainment company decided to support her as much as possible.

The talent show she participated in was an online variety show, so a majority of its viewers were young people. Ning Ran had recently been busy promoting her film, so she didn't have time to watch it at all.

While it was perfectly understandable as to why she didn't know Liyi Danfeng, the young netizens got mad at her for her ignorance.

A: What? How do you not know who our idol is, you old hag?

Dou1298: How dare you don't know who Danfeng is? Who do you think you are?

#MOOre#: Are you insulting us or our idol, huh?

The comment section was instantly flooded with rage, but Ning Ran didn't know that because she couldn't see it.

The look on Wang Xiaoou's face changed the moment he saw the comments on his phone. Oh, no... She stepped on a landmine!
