Rebirth of the Cannon Fodder in the Entertainment Circle

Chapter 69: Chapter 69 Too Awesome Chapter 69: Chapter 69 Too Awesome When the director said this, Star Fans immediately began cursing in the bullet comments.

“Isn’t it supposed to be free team selection? Why is it now mandatory?”

“The director’s words are as worthless as farts.”

“The director just likes to watch the fun and doesn’t think it’s too much, so bad.”

“Director, why don’t you act like a human being?”

“If that’s the case, who knows how they will choose?”

“I’m thinking, with Star Baby’s temperament, is he just going to flounce off?”

Ji Xinghang never concealed his temperament in the entertainment circle; everyone knew he was very willful, and he could indeed do such a thing.

“If Ji Dingliu makes a scene and refuses to film, that would be funny.”

“If the director doesn’t act right, it’s only normal for Star Baby to make a scene and walk off, right?”

It had to be said, Star Fans really understood Ji Xinghang; he did indeed feel like dropping the whole thing just then.

However, in order to continue the live broadcast with Luo Ning, he held back.

Thus, Ji Xinghang spoke before Tong Jia, “Okay, then I’ll choose Su Qinglan.”

Tong Jia, who had thought Ji Xinghang would refuse the director, was stunned.

Ji Xinghang could actually play such a trick. He didn’t want to be on the same team as Bo Xiangxiang, either!

But before he could voice his objection, the director clapped his hands decisively, “Fine, it’s settled then. The remaining members, Teacher Tong and Teacher Bao, will be a team.”

Tong Jia: “…” He felt like crying.

Bo Xiangxiang’s nails dug deep into the flesh of her palm; Ji Xinghang had intentionally not chosen her.

Lifting her head, she saw Tong Jia’s helpless and displeased expression, which made her even more furious. This man actually despised her, what trash.

She closed her eyes and mentally chanted “endure.” She still needed this live broadcast to whitewash her image and change the audience’s favor; she needed to show the sweet and considerate side she once portrayed.

Forcing a smile, she said to Tong Jia, “Teacher Tong, I’ll try not to hold you back.”

This move did indeed change some viewers’ opinions of her.

What else could Tong Jia do? He could only nod and say, “I hope we can work well together in the coming time!”

He just hoped Bo Xiangxiang wouldn’t be too delicate and capricious.

Luo Ning wasn’t surprised by Bo Xiangxiang’s ability to be flexible and resilient; after all, she was the lead actress and couldn’t possibly be entirely thoughtless.

Next up were the remaining students making their choices, with the smart ones quickly selecting either Chai Jing or Wei Yao’s group.

The ones left chose Ji Xinghang and Su Qinglan’s group soon after.

Ji Xinghang was a traffic magnet wherever he went, and Su Qinglan didn’t have any scandals, so the students were happy to pick this team.

Those who hadn’t decided yet or were too slow ended up being forced to choose Tong Jia and Bo Xiangxiang’s team.

Once the team selections were complete, the director pointed to two of the five team leaders who were Chinese, “These two will lead you in survival on the deserted island, while the other three will secretly protect you.”

A tall, stern-looking man stepped forward and said, “My name is Fu Yunbing.”

Another handsome man continued, “My name is Han Chi.”

The other three foreigners were also quite good-looking; it seemed that the show had deliberately chosen attractive mercenaries.

Since the three would be protecting from the shadows, they didn’t introduce themselves. They simply allowed the guests to get a good look at them before quickly dispersing and vanishing into the forest.

Luo Ning and the others didn’t ask further questions but greeted the two team leaders, “Captain Fu, Captain Han!”

Fu Yunbing nodded at everyone without speaking, showing his reserved nature.

Han Chi was smiling as he looked at the group and said, “For the next week, you will live with us on the deserted island.”

“The requirement from the production team is that we need to make it to the other side of the deserted island, where a helicopter will be waiting for you after a week.”

“All I ask of you is to follow our arrangements for the next week to ensure safety and survival.”

“Okay!” The guests had no objections.

Han Chi looked at his watch, “Next, you have twenty minutes to change into the camouflage uniforms and military boots, get your stuff together and set out.”

Since this wasn’t military training, they weren’t too strict with the guests.

Although the guests felt it was very hot, they still listened to him, taking turns to change in the simple tents set up by the production team.

Naturally, the three ladies had priority.

Lu Xun, having the highest profile, was let ahead by the others; he didn’t fuss and politely accepted.

After changing his clothes, he saw Luo Ning sitting on a nearby rock, drawing a talisman.

He walked over and asked with a smile, “What talisman are you drawing?”

Choosing to draw a talisman at this time must mean it’s something useful.

Luo Ning finished the talisman, folded it up and handed it to Lu Xun with a laugh, “A cooling talisman, this one’s for you.”

Lu Xun took the talisman and immediately felt a significant drop in temperature, much cooler compared to the oppressive heat he was experiencing.

“I feel much cooler; the effect of this talisman is almost like an air conditioner,” he said as he slipped the talisman into the pocket of his camouflage jacket.

Luo Ning chuckled, “That’s why teaming up with me shows you have great foresight.”

She had previously stayed in a world where everyone practiced Feng Shui Xuan Shu, where many things could be substituted by talismans, such as air conditioners, heaters.

The cooling talisman was one of them, keeping not only the body cool when worn but also preventing the clothes from getting sweaty.

“Of course, I always trust my own judgment,” Lu Xun replied, his lips curving into a smirk.

Indeed, Luo Ning always had a way of surprising people.

[A cooling talisman that rivals an air conditioner, are you kidding me?]

[The movie emperor is seriously spouting nonsense, I’m speechless.]

[Although I quite like Luo Ning, I can’t believe this cooling talisman works like air conditioning.]

[No sane person would believe that, come on! Luo Huaping is really seeking attention, and I’m disappointed that Lu is playing along.]

[Me too, Lu is lying to accommodate Luo Ning, and suddenly I feel like he’s fallen from grace.]

[You haven’t experienced it, so why say the talisman doesn’t work?]

[Exactly, our God Lu would definitely not speak nonsense.]

At this time, the other guests had also finished changing and, upon hearing the two’s conversation, their first reaction was disbelief.

How could a talisman possibly have the effect of air conditioning, and even Lu was blatantly lying.

Tong Jia, with a lively personality, walked over with a laugh, “Little Ningning, could you let me feel the effect of your cooling talisman?”

Luo Ning handed him one of the already drawn talismans, “Try it out.”

Tong Jia took the talisman and quickly revealed an astounded look, “My God, it really feels like air conditioning, that’s just amazing.”

The muggy heat that was so irritating had slowly dissipated after getting the talisman; he felt thoroughly cool, and even the sweaty feeling on his body was gone.

“Really?” Wei Yao asked skeptically as he took the talisman from Tong Jia’s hand, “Let me try.”

The peace charm Luo Ning had given him before felt effective.

But it was the first time he had heard of a cooling talisman that could produce the effect of air conditioning, which was hard to believe.

Moments later, his face also showed utter amazement, “It actually works.”

“Little Ningning, your talisman drawing skill is incredible,” he couldn’t help but give Luo Ning a thumbs up.
