But this did not diminish his handsomeness in the slightest.
—Just as Li Ming said, even without his wealth and power, there are plenty of people who would want to throw themselves at Qin Junche.
A projector was placed in front of Qin Junche.
On the wall directly opposite him, a somewhat chaotic recording of a program was being played.
"President Qin." When the phone rang, Qin Junche was standing at the bar in the corner of the living room, opening a bottle of wine for himself.
"Gu Tang, he hasn't arrived yet." The other person's voice sounded somewhat uneasy. "We're about to start recording in fifteen minutes. This is a live broadcast that was announced long ago, and it can't be postponed."
"He will come," Qin Junche said calmly as he sat down on the sofa.
Chapter 55 Demon King-Level Nanny (2)
When Gu Tang arrived at the recording location of the variety show, there were only ten minutes left before the show officially started.
It was close to 2 p.m., the time of day when the sun was at its strongest.
The director and the production team were already extremely anxious.
If it were any other obscure, unknown celebrity, they would have replaced them in a heartbeat.
But this person was someone whom President Qin, whom no one dared to offend, had personally spoken to.
Upon seeing the young man finally appear on the recording set, the director rushed to Gu Tang.
He wanted to swear.
He opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing.
"Hurry up, hurry up!" the director urged the crew. "Take him to change clothes. Where's the makeup artist? Go with him and do his makeup."
"Sorry." Gu Tang nodded to him instead, then turned and followed the show's costume designer.
He changed into the clothes provided by the production crew as instructed.
It's a camouflage outfit.
The style is very ordinary, but the fabric is fireproof and waterproof.
Gu Tang raised an eyebrow, roughly guessing what kind of variety show it was.
"Does she even need makeup like this?" The makeup artist who followed her in circled Gu Tang, who had changed her clothes, and muttered a few words to herself.
In this world, Gu Tang has completely regained his original appearance.
Although his features were not as deep and handsome as Qin Junche's, they were still quite delicate.
Especially those eyes.
When she smiles, her face looks like a crescent moon.
This might seem a bit effeminate to a man, but Gu Tang was once a top-tier expert in the cultivation world, incredibly powerful.
No one would find him effeminate!
Even the makeup artist couldn't help but stare at Gu Tang a few more times.
"Huh?" She bent down and trimmed Gu Tang's eyebrows. "What's your name?"
She's a nobody, so obscure that even the makeup artist who works with her on set regularly doesn't recognize her.
"Gu Tang." Gu Tang smiled slightly at her.
The makeup artist blushed.
She quickly searched her memory but couldn't recall ever hearing the artist's name before.
Looking at Gu Tang's face, especially when she smiled, there was a kind of beauty that was hard to describe.
She opened her mouth, somewhat confused as to why such a fair-skinned and pretty young artist would be placed in this kind of program.
I heard that it was the investors who put in the pressure and forced it in.
"That's enough." The makeup artist put away her tools.
"Thank you." Gu Tang stood up and nodded to her.
"Hey!" The makeup artist thought for a moment, then called out to him again, "During the show..."
She gritted her teeth: "It might be a little dangerous. Don't push yourself, or things won't be easy for you."
"Thank you." Gu Tang smiled slightly at her again.
He's fine when he's not smiling.
When she smiled, the makeup artist, who had done makeup for many good-looking men and women, blushed instantly.
"Go ahead, go ahead," she quickly waved her hand.
The production team is already urging them to hurry.
Gu Tang could sense the awkward politeness, especially from the director and the others, towards him, a kind of unspoken politeness.
He didn't take it too seriously and simply stood in his assigned spot as instructed by the staff.
Gu Tang looked around.
He was in a small room partitioned off by wooden planks.
He could only see straight ahead from the room, and couldn't even see who else was around him.
It seems that everyone who comes to record the show enters from the other end of this room.
In other words, they had no idea what the recording would be about before the show officially started.
They didn't even know who they would be recording with.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and calmly looked straight ahead.
There, a young male and a young female host were already in place.
"Welcome everyone to the live broadcast of 'LIVE'!" the young male host enthusiastically introduced. "This is the first time a wilderness survival program has been recorded by humans, demons, and monsters together. All scenes are real, and no one knows the script beforehand. And all the stories will be written by our contestants."
As the host spoke, he briefly introduced the people participating in the recording of the program.
This was indeed a program co-produced by humans, demons, and monsters.
If we're talking about variety shows, then it barely qualifies.
There were a total of thirty-six guests participating in the recording of the program.
There are twelve each from the human, demon, and monster races.
After the show begins, teams will be formed consisting of one person, one demon, and one monster.
For the sake of the show's effect, this combination of three must have one strong performer and one weaker performer.
According to the cultivation levels of this world.
Although the three races of humans, demons, and monsters have slightly different ways of naming their ranks, the strength of each realm is roughly the same.
The highest level is the Immortal level, and no one has been able to reach that level to this day.
For convenience, people then simply use numbers one, two, and three to divide the remaining sections.
The highest rank is first grade, and the lowest is ninth grade.
Gu Tang's original body level should be at the peak of the ninth rank.
Everyone here cultivates, and his peak ninth rank is equivalent to the lowest level.
Therefore, he was the obvious weak link in their group.
The highest-ranking guest to participate in the recording was only fifth grade.
Although they may seem to be only four levels apart, the difference between them is still quite significant.
A fifth-rank cultivator is unlikely to fail unless surrounded by hundreds of ninth-rank cultivators.
For the sake of the show's effect, the production team stipulated that the winners must be determined by the group.
In other words, if the weakest link in your group fails, then the entire group is considered to have failed.
The show lasts for a week, and the battles are allowed to begin 24 hours after filming starts.
If any group eliminates all the other groups, the show will end early.
If not, the groups that survive a week will be ranked according to their points.
The winning team will receive a mystery gift from the Qin Group.
And of course, there's also a huge amount of wealth!
In any era, money always makes the world go round.
More than half of the guests on this survival show are not from the entertainment industry at all, but come from all walks of life.
After the host briefly explained the rules, the small room where Gu Tang and the others were located was sealed off by a huge black cloth.
Immediately afterwards, everyone was sent to a place about fifty kilometers away from S City.
The filming location consists of canyons, grasslands, lakes, and a primeval forest.
Meanwhile, the entire event was broadcast live online.
This program was invested in by three groups of multiple companies, and the preparations were particularly thorough.
In addition to the public perspective that the program broadcasts for free, people watching online can also access the content online.
You can also pay to choose one of the guests to watch.
Qin Junche calmly took a sip of wine.
On the projection screen in front of him, Gu Tang had already opened his eyes.
He looked around like a vigilant hunter.
Then, he calmly stepped back, leaned against a large tree, and turned on the communication device on his wrist.
Gu Tang could only contact the other two guests in his own group.
The 24-hour ban on fighting before the show begins also gives them an opportunity to find resources and build protective facilities.
