Euthanasia

Chapter 165

After returning home, Liu Zhiwei's schedule became busy again.He first followed the training in the company to get acquainted with the drum set, and then began to watch the previous "Strange Stories" at home in the company.

"Stranger Stories" is a series of movies.A film is made every few years, and each time the theme is different.But because it is a Japanese film, it cannot escape the exploration of human nature.The first film explored marriage and life. In the play, the heroine committed suicide because she couldn't stand her husband's cold violence. However, she committed suicide in a very clever way, which caused an unsolved case and led all clues to her husband. The husband is in prison.

Even though the first film had a woman as the main character, and used the most ordinary marriage as the carrier of the entire narrative story, it still aroused a lot of applause.Because it is too close to life and full of fantasy elements, the accumulation of various contradictions makes this movie have a lot of audiences in Japan.

Immediately afterwards, the second part made a high-profile appearance on the basis of the first part, telling the story of a child being bullied at school and neglected by his parents.It caused a lot of repercussions among the students.Now that "Stranger Stories" is about to make a third film, many people have begun to speculate on the theme this time.

Xu Ting found the most likely options for him to see.

"This is a follow-up to the speculation of those fanatical movie fans on the Internet. It makes sense. Take a look." Xu Ting handed a document to Liu Zhiwei.

Liu Zhiwei watched for a while.

Some people speculated that it was telling the story of a widowed old man, some speculated that the perspective had already fallen on women and children, it was time to tell a story about a man, and some said it was time to face housing, employment and other issues.All the guesses are very reasonable, but Liu Zhiwei always feels that these guesses are wrong.

"What do you think?" Xu Ting asked.

"It feels so positive." Liu Zhiwei said.

"Is this still positive energy?" Xu Ting was incredulous.The first housewife committed suicide, the second child was bullied by the school and grew into a cynical bully, and the third part everyone's guesses were biased towards the dark side of society.

Liu Zhiwei said: "There are many details in the previous two movies with tight clues, and there is a feeling that some character is about to come out. If you just guess the character, judging from the fact that this drama has been filmed for a few years, I think it is a bit like the third in a Japanese drama. At the beginning of the episode, a boss will appear soon."

"Boss?" Xu Ting felt that Liu Zhiwei's mental state became better after returning home, and his confidence was stronger than before.

"Yes, I think this film is so grandly cast for the whole of Asia, maybe it is to welcome this character. If this character is the real culprit behind these incidents, his methods must be more cruel, such as some mind control experts, or serial murders Devil or something..."

Xu Ting thought about it, Japanese dramas really don't have to promote positive energy like Chinese movies and TV shows, what Liu Zhiwei said is really possible.

"I'm ready to take on a perverted character," Liu Zhiwei joked to himself, "Brother Xu, what was the announcement you said you were going to take on me?"

Xu Ting came back to his senses and said, "One week later, the 'Pretender Challenge'."

Of course Liu Zhiwei has seen and understood The Pretender Challenge.Generally, it is a resource that only big names will participate in. I don't know why it fell on Liu Zhiwei.

Its highlight is to play big guys as ordinary people, and "perform" in various ways in crowded places, so as to obtain comedy effects.

There were a few episodes of the program that brought out a very popular artist at the moment, but after being baptized by the "no makeup" in the lottery, this artist turned out to be on the street without any disguise, but no one paid attention to her.

The show is not afraid of offending big names, but it is afraid that it will not have a comedy effect.The big names may have an agreement with the program group, and they won't be able to draw certain items, but if Liu Zhiwei joins them, there is definitely no room for choice.

"This... did you reveal the theme of this issue?" Liu Zhiwei couldn't help asking.

"Not yet, but I know which big names will go." Xu Ting said.

"Which ones?"

"The two biggest ones are Hua Xiao and Liu Yi."

Liu Zhiwei was stunned for a moment.

"I only found out after I accepted it," Xu Ting said, "If you don't want to participate, we can withdraw and pay a liquidated damages at most."

Liu Zhiwei pondered for a while, and said, "It's okay, Brother Xu, I will participate."

Two weeks later, Liu Zhiwei knew all the participants and themes of the 'Pretender Challenge'.The artists who have friendship with Liu Zhiwei are not only Hua Xiao, but also Cai Xue and Pei Ze.There are even more people who have no friendship but are famous.In addition to Hua Xiao, the current actor, there is also an equally popular former actor, Dai Cheng.Dai Cheng is older, so the average age of fans is also older, and the coverage is wider.

The confirmation of all the personnel is that a week ago, the program team has released a trailer, and circled all the artists with relatively small names who can be released, including Liu Zhiwei.

Although Liu Zhiwei's fans are not many in number, they are extremely united. As soon as Liu Zhiwei's news was released, they all rushed to the front line to cheer and cheer.Liu Zhiwei searched his own name on a whim...all emojis.

"Mom, this is my boyfriend [pic]."

"Miss Liu smiles [pic]."

"Giving you a blind eye [pic]."

"Hi everyone, here is my wedding photo [pic]."

Liu Zhiwei: "..."

Wishing made a phone call to Xu Ting: "You actually let Liu Zhiwei participate in the 'Pretender Challenge'?!"

"What's wrong? Why do I have to report to you?" Xu Ting said.

"Have you seen the list?"

"seen it already."

"Hua Xiao and Liu Yi are both here, isn't Liu Zhiwei at odds with Liu Yi?"

"That's right. So what?" Xu Ting straightened his sleeves on the other end of the call, "Is he going to hide for the rest of his life?"

"...He entered that show as a supporting role, the bottom kind," Wishing said, "Can't you choose a suitable one for him?"

Xu Ting said: "Hua Xiao was just a low-level supporting role back then."

There was something wrong with making a wish, and he slowly realized: "...Are you aiming at me?"

"...What does it have to do with you?" Xu Ting said, "It's just that Pei Ze can go up, why do you persuade me not to send Liu Zhiwei up?"

After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly said: "I see, you found out that I stole all your strawberry ice cream!"

Xu Ting: "...bye."

After all, Liu Zhiwei's fans were still inferior to Hua Xiao and others. When the news of Hua Xiao's participation was leaked by himself, Hua Xiao's fans went crazy.

Many of Liu Zhiwei's fans were also Hua Xiao's fans, applauding and cheering, celebrating that his two male gods will be in the same frame in the variety show.

On the day when he went to film a variety show, Liu Zhiwei said to Jon who was not very happy: "I will come back very early."

"Our tickets haven't been set yet," Jon said.

"Can we discuss this matter after I come back?" Liu Zhiwei felt a little headache.Zhu Yuli didn't reply to him for a long time, thinking about Liu Zhiwei in the past.And Jon couldn't wait, he knew it was unfair to make Jon wait, because this trip was a reward promised to Jon in the first place.

After Liu Zhiwei left, Jon came to the study again on crutches and opened the video.

Shanna is traveling in Japan with Lu Yi. They seem to live in a traditional Japanese homestay, and Shanna is still wearing a yukata.

She lay lazily on the tatami, glanced at Lu Yi who left the room and went into the bathroom behind her, and then turned her gaze back to Jon's face on the screen.

"I heard that you went with him to meet his parents. How are they?"

"His mother cooks delicious food."

"...Jon."

"Well, I mean, they weren't very nice to me at first, very unacceptable to Zeo's sexuality and me, but they love him a lot, and maybe it's just a matter of time before they accept us. But you know, it's not an issue now." Joe Eun said distressedly, "Zeo and I were supposed to go to Spain a month ago, but because he agreed to go with his mother, his mother has not yet made a decision."

Shanna couldn't help but rolled her eyes: "Jon, if I were you, I wouldn't agree to such a ridiculous thing. Just because you get along well with Zeo doesn't mean you can get along well with his parents. But now you have Commitment is made, then don't throw all the pressure on Zeo. You make this decision together, don't wait for Zeo to coordinate everything. Not all parents make the decision to travel away from the country lightly, but what? Is that when other people’s indecision starts to affect your decisions?”

Jon frowned and thought for a while, then said, "You're right. You reminded me."

Lu Yi came back wiping his wet hair. He squatted beside Shanna, exchanged a kiss with Shanna, and looked at his married husband Jon: "How are you doing recently, Jon?"

Jon, who was envious and jealous in his heart, said with a straight face: "It couldn't be better."

Lu Yi heard the sarcasm in his words, raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, this is marriage."

Liu Zhiwei arrived at the shooting site early in the morning.The entire program group was very lively, with staff everywhere.Several invited artists have also arrived, and they are all gathered in the open-air shooting scene.When Liu Zhiwei arrived, he saw Pei Ze first, followed by Hua Xiao next to Pei Ze.Hua Xiao used to be the last one to attend any events and announcements, but as long as Pei Ze arrived early, he would always be there with Pei Ze.Liu Zhiwei always felt a little weird, but Pei Ze never told Liu Zhiwei about his relationship with Hua Xiao, so Liu Zhiwei didn't ask.

When Pei Ze saw Liu Zhiwei, he happily called out to him and ran this way. As soon as his name was mentioned, several people looked at him, and Cai Xue also trotted over. "Brother Zhiwei! Long time no see!"

Since the end of "Personality Game", Liu Zhiwei hasn't seen Cai Xue for a while.She also filmed a TV series recently, but there is not much other news about Liu Zhiwei.

Liu Zhiwei said hello to each of them, and then Cai Xue asked: "Brother Zhiwei, I heard that you will cooperate with Cheng Qian to make a movie together in the future."

Liu Zhiwei froze for a moment.Zhang Chengqian and his film have not been announced to the public yet, and the actors are all pre-appointed, how does Cai Xue know?

"Cheng Qian told me." Cai Xue said.

"You guys keep in touch very frequently." Liu Zhiwei originally said it jokingly, but Cai Xue blushed a little: "He always complains to me when he has something to do, so I know everything."

They chatted for a while, and then they heard the summoning command, and more than a dozen artists gathered there.

The big names who came to participate in the "Pretender Challenge" are all veterans. Although no one else has a script for this variety show except the director, the veterans' on-the-spot adaptability is enough to deal with unexpected accidents.Where there are flowers, there are green leaves. As a backdrop, besides Liu Zhiwei, Cai Xue and others, there are also a few seventh- and eighth-line stars who are similar to their cafes. Liu Zhiwei is very familiar.Among them, Huang Tiangao is the most familiar one.Huang Tiangao participated in an audition for "Assassin 2", and was treated as a joke by everyone, and he is often a joke in variety shows, so it is not surprising that he appears here at this moment.

In addition to him, there is another person Liu Zhiwei is quite familiar with, and it is a young student with whom he once played tricks, and his name is Wan Yangyu.After filming a few supporting roles in TV series, it became more or less popular, but it may not be popular because of insufficient resources, and it has been tepid for several years.

And among all the celebrities, apart from the two film kings and a martial arts superstar Liu Yi, there is also a very popular actress Zuo Gaoshi.

Zuo Gaoshi entered the showbiz halfway through. He used to be a drama performer. His acting skills are very good, but he is lacking in variety show effects and other aspects.Participating in this variety show is probably to expand her career in this area.

Liu Zhiwei didn't want to talk to Liu Yi, so he didn't say hello to the others.

The director gave a brief introduction and started shooting without saying much.All self-introductions and getting to know each other were recorded directly into the video.

The warm-up part was relaxed and comfortable. The program team placed a large plate of dumplings in front of everyone, so that the artists who had rushed over early in the morning and hadn't had lunch had a full meal before the official draw began.

"Dumplings? Is this program group going to be poor and crazy after hiring big names..." Huang Tiangao took advantage of the situation and made everyone around laugh.

The host is a very gossip hostess. As soon as she came up, she took the microphone and started interviewing Hua Xiao who was picking and picking out the celery from the stuffing: "Brother Hua, don't you like eating celery?"

"I don't like it."

"I've always wanted to ask a question." The host looked at Pei Ze who was next to him. "During this period of time, you have always attended variety shows with Pei Ze. Are you bringing in newcomers?"

Pei Ze was called out suddenly, half of the dumpling was still in his mouth, and he almost spit it out.

"Why should I bring him? He's too stupid. Being on variety shows would be a hindrance to me." Hua Xiao said, "It's all arranged by the manager."

Pei Ze: "..."

"Then how do you feel when you see Dai Cheng and the collision of two movie kings?"

"Feeling? Ha ha." Hua Xiao chuckled at Dai Cheng, and Dai Cheng who was beside him smiled back inexplicably.

The entertainers watching the theater opposite them all laughed so hard that they fell on the table.

The host did not turn to Dai Cheng, but instead pointed the microphone at Pei Ze: "Pei Ze, I heard that you made a very 'exposed' film in Japan, can you tell us about it?"

Liu Zhiwei could almost imagine inserting the clip of Pei Ze's movie in the later stage, but when Pei Ze heard the question, he spit out a mouthful of water.

"I'm sorry... I have nothing to say..." Pei Ze frantically wiped the water on the table, while Hua Xiao who was beside him gave him a few extra tissues in disgust.

"That film is very exciting," the host said maliciously, "When I just searched for resources, I couldn't believe it was filmed by a Chinese artist."

"A-It's not a porn movie, why don't you believe it..." Pei Ze wiped his mouth, blushing.

"Then I can ask you to go in and out with Brother Hua every day, is Brother Hua your idol?"

"What kind of idol is he—not that I mean my idol is Dai Cheng."

Hua Xiao pulled the corner of his mouth to Dai Cheng again with a half-smile: "Hehe."

Dai Cheng: "..." The host's microphone then moved to Dai Cheng's mouth: "Brother Chen, is there any junior you admire here?"

Dai Cheng originally wanted to say no, but after looking around, he suddenly said, "Yes, Liu Zhiwei."

Liu Zhiwei had just finished eating a meat dumpling, thinking that the dumpling skin was too thick, when he heard his name being called, he raised his head subconsciously: "What?"

"I've watched several of his movies, including the trailers, and I think he's very aura," Dai Cheng said, "And in "Assassin 2," Hua Xiao is still his supporting role, isn't he?"

Hua Xiao instantly realized that he had been hurt, and immediately fought back: "That's not true, I never play big names, newcomers have good acting skills, and I am willing to be a supporting role to support them."

Liu Zhiwei, who was inexplicably turned into a battlefield: "..."

After the dumplings were finished, the microphone turned a full circle. Liu Zhiwei heard a lot of gossip, including the gossip about Zuo Gaoshi. Cai Xue was recently photographed going in and out of the same dessert shop with Zhang Chengqian...

Even Liu Zhiwei himself was ridiculed for a while because of the emoji on the Internet.

When the microphone came to Liu Yi, Liu Yi acted like a humble gentleman as always, and shifted the question of the host's probing him to the newcomers present, and even praised Liu Zhiwei emphatically.Just like what Dai Cheng did, he said that Liu Zhiwei is very spiritual and has a bright future.

Liu Zhiwei just took a sip of water with a half-smile.

Liu Yi is famous for his martial arts scenes, and Liu Zhiwei only showed his skills in the casting of "Assassin 2" some time ago. Everyone's impression of him is that he can fight, and everyone will inevitably compare them.From this comparison, it was found that their figures were similar, so the chances of putting them together were higher.

After everyone got to know each other, the lottery began.

Twelve people, each of them has three chances to draw lots, and those who draw the same number form teams with each other.People in the same team have the same task, and this task is the highlight of the whole show.

Liu Zhiwei drew lots behind Liu Yi. The program team wanted them to get closer to each other, but Liu Zhiwei was far away from Liu Yi.Although it is not allowed to peek at other people's cards before the secret is revealed, Liu Zhiwei still caught a glimpse of a card with a Jedi knight in Liu Yi's hand.

Liu Zhiwei reached out and grabbed a card, put it in his pocket without looking at it, and took out the card when he walked to his position on the field.

—Jedi Knight.

Liu Zhiwei frowned imperceptibly, and then held the card upside down in his palm.

"Now, please come out with the children who have won the Disney Princess!" The host smiled and showed the appearance of the card. Liu Zhiwei swept around, only to see Huang Tiangao and Hua Xiao with expressions that wanted to chop their hands very much. He walked out without love, and then Cai Xue also happily came out.

"Your task is to play Disney princesses and distribute advertisements in the square."

"Pfft." Pei Ze was the first to burst out laughing, followed by Dai Cheng.Cai Xue suppressed a smile and stepped forward to pat Huang Tiangao and Hua Xiao's arms, saying, "I won the big prize."
