Euthanasia

Liu Zhiwei will be filming the second episode of The Pretender Challenge the next day. Xu Ting has already informed him that his part will increase in this episode, so it will not be as easy as last time.

Early in the morning Logan got up and gave Liu Zhiwei a new look.His hair was a bit long, so Logan combed it all back for a shaggy back.

Liu Zhiwei wore a small suit and vest, which can be worn on the red carpet.

"Logan, is this too exaggerated..." Liu Zhiwei looked back and forth in the mirror.The edges and corners of his face are fully displayed and enhanced by the new hairstyle, which makes him look extremely stylish.

"Savage and gentle," Rogan said narcissistically, "this is the new product label."

The advertisement of the British suit brand "Revival" shot by Liu Zhiwei has already been launched in the UK, but it has just started to be launched in China.As soon as this planning started, Liu Zhiwei was found to shoot the second look.

"They posted those photos on their official website and store windows," Rogan said, "and sales increased by 20.00%. Orders from people have also increased, and they are now planning to open more outlets."

But before that, before Liu Zhiwei's price soared, they seized the opportunity to let Liu Zhiwei do another set of advertisements, hoping to increase the benefits of the Chinese market, so Liu Zhiwei's clothing for this issue was finalized.

Liu Zhiwei looked at himself in the mirror again.The vest and cropped suit pants are dark blue with dark stripes, and underneath are a pair of dark red low-top Martin boots, matching the dark red scarf around his neck.He rolled his shirt up to his elbow, looked at it and put it down, buttoned it on his wrist, flexed his joints and muttered, "I hope they don't want me to farm..."

All the actors have gathered again at the recording site. When Liu Zhiwei arrived, he saw that Hua Xiao and Pei Ze had already arrived. They waved to Liu Zhiwei. It's not the same."

Liu Zhiwei touched his nose in embarrassment: "I can't help it. Next time I will endorse a sports brand."

Hua Xiao is also advertising. He has a watch on his wrist. The brand is one of the sponsors of the show, but he is obviously not as conspicuous as Liu Zhiwei.When Cai Xue arrived, she couldn't help but rushed towards Liu Zhiwei and said, "Brother Zhiwei! You're so handsome!"

"Thank you, thank you..." Liu Zhiwei pushed Cai Xue who was jumping up and down around him to one side.

Not long after, Liu Yi arrived.Coincidentally, Liu Yi was also wearing a casual suit. Cai Xue approached Liu Zhiwei and said, "Brother Zhiwei...you look better than him."

The people in the variety show Liu Yi and Liu Zhiwei's war more or less understood what was going on, but they recorded a show together, and none of them showed it, as if they didn't know anything.

Liu Zhiwei put his hands in his pockets and watched Liu Yi approaching the crowd. When Liu Yi cast his gaze, he didn't look away, but just looked at each other coldly for two or three seconds.Liu Yi first looked away.

"A week has passed, do the handsome guys and beauties miss me?" The host came out at this moment, commented on everyone's new image, and warmed up the scene.Everyone had contact with the first episode of the program, and the interaction became more vivid, but Liu Zhiwei and Liu Yi were always distinct and never spoke to each other.

After a simple tease, the old rule is to draw cards.

According to the design of the game, Liu Zhiwei has formed a team with Liu Yi for the first time, and it is unlikely that he will continue to form a team with Liu Yi in the future.Therefore, he may form a team with Dai Cheng, Hua Xiao, or any of Zuo Gaoshi.

After everyone lined up to draw lots, Pei Ze looked at his card and whispered to Hua Xiao, "Do you know that you laughed all day long when you made a wish?"

Hua Xiao: "..."

"What's your card?"

Hua Xiao hid the cards: "I won't tell you."

Pei Ze: "...Fuck."

Seeing everyone looking at the cards, he said to Pei Ze in a low voice: "Don't act too close to Liu Zhiwei, if you get Liu Yi, he might target you."

Pei Ze raised his voice: "He's my buddy..."

Hua Xiao stabbed him: "You are not as popular as Liu Zhiwei, don't meddle in it."

Pei Ze originally wanted to refute, but he didn't say anything in the end, because the camera turned to them, and the host also started reporting to the group: "The first card——Coke can!"

Hua Xiao went out directly.Along with them were Wei Yangyu and another female artist.

The host wanted to laugh when she saw Hua Xiao, and she said, "Brother Hua, you are so lucky, you get a big prize every time."

Hua Xiao felt bad instantly.

"Your task is to classify the garbage in the trash cans in the city center!" The host smiled and said, "Contribute to our city, starting with Brother Hua."

Thinking of Hua Xiao looking through the trash can, Pei Ze laughed so hard that he couldn't make out his voice: "...Oh, I can't do it, environmental protection ambassador, help me."

Hua Xiao: "..."

The program team distributed a set of sanitation worker uniforms to them, and a pair of long burning tongs for each of them.Hua Xiao held the tongs and uniform, his face was ashen, and he looked like he was about to quit.Senior Teacher Zuo smiled and said, "There is no distinction between high and low occupations. It's good to experience life, Mr. Hua."

Hua Xiao wanted to say you can do it, but seeing a camera looking at him, he could only hold back and say, "Where are the gloves and mask?"

Gloves were all distributed, but there were no masks. Hua Xiao said to Wei Yangyu and another artist, "Let's go, let's go buy masks first."

After Hua Xiao and the others left, the host announced the cards for the second group: "The ones who get the clown come out!"

Liu Zhiwei paused for a moment, held his cards and went out.

Along with him were Dai Cheng and Cai Xue.

"Hey, it's over, you don't want me to play the clown?" Cai Xue said as she came out.

"Your mission is to perform in the subway."

Hua Xiao, who had just bought a mask from a nearby pharmacy and was about to get in the car, rushed over and shouted, "What? It's not fair! How can they be a showman? I..." Pei Ze and Dai Cheng immediately stepped forward and put the mask on. He got stuck in a car.

"You...remember it!" Hua Xiao glanced at Pei Ze and pointed at Dai Cheng.

Dai Cheng sold chickens at the vegetable market for a long time in the last round, and the situation was not bad. He felt lucky to win this challenge.He happily patted Liu Zhiwei and Cai Xue on the shoulders and said, "Great men and women, what can you show off?"

Cai Xue patted her chest and said, "Hey, I'm a talented queen, dancing and singing on the piano and violin, just tell me, what's missing?"

Dai Cheng opened the task book with a smile, and the smile on his face froze.

- Play as a clown and juggle in the subway.

As soon as the mission statement was made public, Pei Ze couldn't help it anymore, his face cramped from laughing.

"Wait, what acrobatics?" Dai Cheng didn't give up, and asked the definition again, "Aren't musical instruments counted?"

"Isn't that too simple?" The host said, "How can you be so cheap?"

Cai Xue immediately looked at Liu Zhiwei: "Brother Zhiwei, why don't we act like you lift me up..."

Liu Zhiwei: "..."

Dai Cheng: "Can I ask you two?"

Liu Zhiwei: "..."

The location in the task book has been set, the range has been delineated, and the time has also been determined. In addition to acrobatics, all are required to wear clown masks.

Cai Xueba had to be recognized, and immediately snatched the mask from the staff.

The three masks are different, one covers only the upper half of the face, one covers only the lower half of the face, and one covers the whole face.Without exception, they all have big red noses.

Cai Xue directly snatched the mask covering her entire face, and said to Dai Cheng who wanted to snatch it from her, "Ladies first."

"..." Dai Cheng silently looked at the remaining two.

Liu Zhiwei made a "please" gesture in a very gentlemanly manner, and Dai Cheng carefully considered the size, design and matching of the face shape for a long time, and finally took away the mask covering the lower half of his face.His bangs are long, so he can cover them up a bit more...

Liu Zhiwei took the last mask and put it on his face to match his suit, creating an unusually weird and interesting effect.

Wearing a mask, he said to Cai Xue and Dai Cheng, "Let's go, let's survey the terrain first."

The program group decided that the subway station had a moderate flow of people, allowing them to find a place for activities, and there was enough flow of people to attract the audience.

The subway station is quite big, with two floors, one above and one below, and the top can be seen from below.The entire subway station is built in style, and there are even European-style street lights between the two floors, which looks like an underground city.

After investigating for a while, Liu Zhiwei asked Cai Xue and Dai Cheng, "...I have an idea."

Dai Cheng and Cai Xue glanced at each other, then both looked at Liu Zhiwei: "Say it."

Liu Zhiwei performed well in the last episode of the show, and they all saw his skills. Dai Cheng's seniority didn't help in this kind of thing, so they directly recognized Liu Zhiwei as the leader.

"Do you know that there are actually a lot of static movements in acrobatics?" Liu Zhiwei said, "It may be easier than dynamic ones."

"Are you talking about lifts?" Cai Xue was full of expectations.

"That's kind of it," Liu Zhiwei said. "I've shot a few close-ups of acrobatics before. I've been a stand-in, so I probably know how to shoot the effect. I know a few moves are not difficult. But just doing those few moves , It’s too simple. The task book says we still have to raise money.”

"I actually know one kind," Dai Cheng said, "I know how to ride a unicycle, and I thought it was fun before."

"Cai Xue also has a dance foundation," Liu Zhiwei pointed to Cai Xue, and got an affirmative answer, "My thoughts are like this..."

Liu Zhiwei asked the program team for a piece of paper, bit the cap of his pen and began to draw.Cai Xue and Dai Cheng discovered that what he drew was exactly where they were standing—the second basement floor, with a long bench next to it.

"You are at the bottom," Liu Zhiwei circled an open space beside the bench, "Cai Xue is in the middle, and I am at the top."

"Wait, am I standing on the stairs? It's blocking the main road." Cai Xue said.

"No, you hang outside the stairs." Liu Zhiwei said.

Cai Xue thought she heard it wrong: "...Huh?"

"Have you ever heard of a crane?" Liu Zhiwei said.

Cai Xue froze for a moment, then realized: "Hey, bring the hanging cloth!"

"Are you afraid of heights?"

"Not afraid of heights! It's about the same as Diao Weiya!"

"Almost," Liu Zhiwei said, "We still need three more books..."

Dai Cheng looked at Liu Zhiwei's scribbled sketch, and felt something had happened. "Are you trying to encourage everyone to read more?"

Liu Zhiwei's paintings have a strong sense of storyboard, which makes Dai Cheng, an old actor who has acted for decades, feel as if he is watching a director's storyboard.

"Basically," Liu Zhiwei smiled, "I just thought about it casually, I didn't think about it carefully, but when they see something novel, some people will pay attention to it and want to know what we are doing. But in fact, the main reason is that we always keep one action, which is quite boring. , Find a book to read to pass the time."

"This is more like performance art." Cai Xue said.

Liu Zhiwei nodded.

"Come on, try it!" Cai Xue was eager to try.

Since Liu Zhiwei left, Liu Yi has been thinking wildly about Liu Zhiwei's possible performance. After thinking about it, he can only think of three balls in his hand when he thinks about acrobatics.Since it is not martial arts, Liu Zhiwei has no chance of being in the limelight.

With that in mind, he played his own cards.

The face of the card is a briefcase, and their mission is to sell insurance door to door.

This is a challenge for pretenders, so they also have to do special effects makeup, pretend to be a film and television image that they have never had before, and then sell insurance each with a briefcase.Of course, these insurances are also the products of the sponsors. Even if they don't sell a copy in the show, the benefits to the sponsors after the show is broadcast are not small.

Teaming up with Liu Yi were Pei Ze and Huang Tiangao. None of the three had beards on the screen, so they all wore mustaches without exception.Pei Ze was young, and his looks were a bit feminine. Wearing mustaches gave him a sense of being a man disguised as a man, while Huang Tiangao and Liu Yi were more or less compatible, but it lowered their looks.

To match the style of the beard, they both added messy eyebrows and a hat.

The special effect makeup is so successful that even people who know them well can't tell the difference at once, let alone think that one day the idol may come to sell insurance.

Liu Yi was a little confident about this mission, and when he and the other two arrived at the location, he gave orders and said, "You have six buildings over there, and I have three buildings here."

There are exactly three cameramen in the camera group, and they are following the three people respectively.Pei Ze and Huang Tiangao looked at each other, and walked to the other side together.

Huang Tiangao complained smoothly: "What kind of insurance do you sell, I don't even know what kind of insurance it is..."

"Life insurance," Pei Ze said immediately, "it's not advertised on TV every day."

"Ah? Really?" Huang Tiangao opened the documents in the briefcase.

"I've really sold insurance before hahaha, I'm sure I'll win this time." Pei Ze said proudly, Huang Tiangao immediately showed an "excessive" expression, leaned closer to Pei Ze and said, "...thigh, give me a hug ?”

"Okay, if you form a team with me, for every five insurances sold, you will be counted as one, what do you think?" Pei Ze said.

"Huh? Five copies? You may not be able to sell five copies after running all six buildings, right? I used to hate selling insurance the most." Huang Tiangao said.

"Then you do it alone." Pei Ze shrugged.

Seeing Pei Ze's smug expression, Huang Tiangao immediately said angrily, "Huh, if you do it alone, you can do it alone, I'm afraid of you."

Two hours later, Huang Tiangao touched the building where Pei Ze was, and stood downstairs and sent a text message to Pei Ze: "Brother, let's form a team?" He looked up at the cameraman, and stretched out his hand to cover the lens: "Why are you laughing? Have you ever seen someone who can’t sell insurance?”

Pei Ze upstairs glanced at his phone, with a smile on his face, and said to the aunt who was wearing glasses to read the terms and conditions: "Hey, aunt, wait a minute, a classmate of mine is here to accompany me. He ran downstairs It's hot as hell."

"It's not easy for you young people. It's really hard to come out to find a job at such a young age." The aunt said holding the glasses frame with her hand.

"That's right! You said that the employment situation is so tense now. Even if your two grandsons grow up and don't have a job, they can still get a lot of insurance money every year. When they are 60 years old, they can still get 38 at a time. , What a deal..." Pei Ze said with joy, while letting Huang Tiangao go upstairs.

Huang Tiangao went up to the top floor out of breath, and saw Pei Ze sitting comfortably at his home.Seeing Huang Tiangao, the aunt poured him a glass of water as well.While the aunt was pouring water, Pei Ze patted Huang Tiangao's chest, and said to him in a low voice, "Quickly admit it, the first part of the team - take four more and it will be yours."

Huang Tiangao, who hadn't sold an insurance policy for a long time, showed a shocked expression.

"Although I always have debuffs in filming, I can do other things quite smoothly," Pei Ze slyly gave him a thumbs up, "Mama killer."

On the other side, Liu Yi, who didn't know how many times she had been shut down, looked at the cameraman angrily and impatiently: "What else are you filming! When people see you, they close the door. How did this program design?!" Liu Yi has been walking down for ten years. There are many people who know him. Many elderly people have seen his movies. He has never received any cold reception. Even if he has, it was in his early years. Now he has forgotten it.

He came to the balcony on the floor and called his manager Jiang Xiujie: "Hello? How is Liu Zhiwei's group?"

"...It's pretty good," Jiang Xiujie said at the other end, "I heard that he came up with something very interesting and already made a hundred dollars. Hey, he's in another group and has nothing to do with you. How are you doing now? gone?"

Liu Yi said impetuously, "I can't sell it."

"Ah? Didn't sell any?" Jiang Xiujie said, "Your local insurance company has done a survey, and it is a community with the highest willingness to buy insurance. And look in your bag, not only life insurance, but also some special reasons. The short-term insurance produced by this show should sell well... I heard that Pei Ze has already sold two copies."

Liu Yi frowned, opened the briefcase and searched for a long time before finding out the insurance that the agent said.

"Try it, don't be discouraged..." Jiang Xiujie said on the other end, when he heard Liu Yi hang up the phone.

The manager of Zuo Gaoshi, who was listening to his phone call, said with a smile: "This program group also likes to trick artists, and let the actors sell insurance, how did you come up with it?"

"Otherwise, how can you call it an actor?" Xu Ting, who had been waiting at the base, glanced at the other party at this moment, "The acting doesn't seem real, so you call it an actor?"

"You——" Jiang Xiujie stood up, and was stopped by Huang Tiangao and Zuo Gaoshi's manager. Huang Tiangao's manager smoothed things over and said, "Fortunately, we Tiangao is a preserved egg. We don't expect him to sell insurance, entertainment programs, just make jokes." It is enough to take responsibility."

Jiang Xiujie sat down.He knew that it was impossible for Liu Yi to do something funny.As Xu Ting said, even though selling insurance has nothing to do with being an actor, the audience will still compare actors with the same task.It would be fine if Liu Yi could cope with the past with a smile, just like the last time Hua Xiao's outfit was horrible, the audience still laughed and fell in love with Hua Xiao, but Liu Yi couldn't.Many of his things, including his personality, are set for him by the team, and there can be no mistakes.Liu Yi seldom participated in such variety shows that he was not afraid of offending big names, so his past variety shows went smoothly, but he didn't expect this show to become such a big hurdle for him.

After Liu Yi found out the insurance, he glanced at it hastily, but without looking carefully, he tore off his beard and eyebrows, and knocked on the door in front of him again.

"Hey, I said you, I said no—" The woman who opened the door was stunned when she saw Liu Yi in front of her, then narrowed her eyes in surprise, "Aren't you..."

Liu Yi showed a gentle smile: "Sorry, I'm actually participating in a show."

"Oh! Husband, come here! It's Liu Yi!"
