After Transmigrating as a Scumbag Alpha, I Ended Up with the Movie Queen - Chapter 15

A Poetic Life was in the middle of intense preparations.

The production team had already created an account on Big-Eye and had begun releasing the guests’ promotional photos according to plan.

The promotional photos were released in pairs.

The first released were Bai Rui and Tang Ling, a male-female Beta pair.

Both of them were currently very popular stars, and both had dramas airing at the moment. Their joining immediately pushed the show’s popularity up another level, and the comment section was completely controlled by their fans.

Then came Peng Yushu and Lu Xuehai, a male-male AO pair.

Peng Yushu was a senior figure in the music industry who had many classic golden songs, but had not been active for a long time. Lu Xuehai had always worked in the modeling industry overseas.

The two people in this pair had one thing in common: neither had many fans who used Big-Eye. As a result, the comment section below was filled with a harmonious and friendly atmosphere.

When it came to the final pair, Gu Nan and Shen Zhibei, the style of the comments was different from the previous two groups again.

Gu Nan had barely any fans, while Shen Zhibei’s fans, because of what had happened recently, were completely unable to control the comments anymore with so many passersby joining in.

Most of the comments in the comment section were like:

[Recently, Gu Nan has really latched onto Shen Zhibei, huh.]

[Above, how can that be called latching on? That’s a normal married couple. (doge)]

[I just want Sister Zhibei to shine beautifully on her own. This fan is already withered.]

[They all say the little princess was enchanted by the Film Empress and has completely turned over a new leaf. Do you believe that? (doge)]

[Hehehe, do you believe it? I don’t.]

[Actually, in terms of looks, they’re quite a good match. This promo photo is edited so beautifully. Let me lick the screen.]

[The fact that they dare go on this kind of livestream variety show is something I never expected.]

Once all six guests’ promotional photos were revealed, the popularity of A Poetic Life soared upward, directly rising to second place on the trending list.

Although it was not first, first place was the tag: “Gu Nan and Shen Zhibei appear together on a livestream variety show.”

Seeing this level of popularity, the production team was smiling so widely they could not close their mouths.

They had long predicted that these two appearing together would bring this kind of popularity, so they had originally written Gu Nan’s name into the invitation list. In the end, before they could even begin implementing it, the Gu Group spent money to sponsor the show, wanting to push Gu Nan in.

The moment the production team found out, they were so happy they could wake up laughing from their dreams.

The storms outside did not disturb Gu Nan and Shen Zhibei’s lives.

They still stayed at home, enjoying the last bit of peace before they would soon have to spend whole days in front of cameras.

That day, Gu Nan was asking Shen Zhibei what essential luggage she needed to bring for a variety show when she suddenly received a call from the production team.

“Teacher Shen, hello. May I ask if Teacher Gu is beside you? I need to explain the upcoming schedule to both teachers.”

“She is.” Shen Zhibei turned on speaker mode. “Go ahead. She can hear now too.”

“Teachers, our first stop will be Yingpan Village in Dian Province. We’ll be staying in this village for three days and two nights. It’s all right if you don’t know this place. After you arrive in Dian Province, our production team will naturally pick both teachers up and bring you to the village.”

“The flight tickets booked for both teachers are for 2 p.m. the day after tomorrow. On the day of departure, our camera crew will arrive at your home at 9 a.m. to film some scenes of you packing your luggage, then conduct a small interview with both teachers.”

“Teacher Gu, could you help arrange temporary registration for our production team’s vehicle? Otherwise, our people won’t be able to get in.”

“All right. Send the license plate number to my manager. She’ll arrange it.”

“Understood, teachers. Then we’ll see you in three days.”

After hanging up, Shen Zhibei also knew that Gu Nan had never had experience filming this kind of variety show, so she directly said, “Filming starts the day after tomorrow, so you need to start packing today. Don’t listen to the production team when they say they’ll film some packing scenes. When the time comes, just show them roughly what you brought.”

“First, find the things you want to bring. Remember, at most, you can pack one suitcase and one bag. Any more than that and you’ll get scolded. Once you’ve packed them, push them over to me, and I’ll help you add or remove things.”

Gu Nan nodded repeatedly, indicating that she understood.

She truly did not have experience joining this kind of variety show, but she did have experience with business trips. Besides, they were only staying in a village for three days and two nights. What was there that could not be overcome?

After a short while, she packed a suitcase that was not even full and pushed it over to find Shen Zhibei.

Standing outside Shen Zhibei’s room, Gu Nan knocked on the door.

Not long after, Shen Zhibei came over and opened it.

“So fast?” She looked doubtfully at the single suitcase on the floor. “Come in and talk.”

Ever since Shen Zhibei had moved into this guest room, Gu Nan had never entered again.

At this moment, the guest room had changed drastically. It no longer looked like the other guest rooms in the house at all.

Judging from the colors and styles of the furniture and decorations, it should have been changed into something Shen Zhibei liked. Even on the desk, there were now two pots of succulents.

“Mom designed this for you?” Gu Nan walked over and touched the thick petals of the succulent. She still could not help saying sourly, “These succulents won’t be killed by you, right?”

“Yes, Mom designed it for me. And she also said she would help me take care of these cute succulents.”

Shen Zhibei smiled as she showed off Yin Yuehua’s care for her right in front of Gu Nan.

She had long since discovered that Gu Nan liked sticking to her mother and mom, especially her mom. If Mom treated Shen Zhibei better than Gu Nan, Gu Nan would feel sour inside, and that sourness would come through when she spoke.

It was very strange. This behavior made her seem like a child lacking love. But Gu Tiansheng and Yin Yuehua both doted on Gu Nan very much, so how had they raised this kind of personality in her?

Shen Zhibei did not think too deeply about it. The thought merely passed through her mind. After all, personality was a very complicated thing.

She remembered this attribute of Gu Nan’s only because she wanted to land more critical hits on Gu Nan during verbal sparring.

Just like now. After this sentence, it directly dealt critical damage to Gu Nan.

“Tch.”

Gu Nan did not say anything else, but in her heart, she was thinking about whether she should go to Mom and ask her to make some exclusive design for her too.

Seeing Gu Nan quiet down, Shen Zhibei opened the suitcase she had pushed over.

There were surprisingly few things inside.

“You’re only bringing this much?” Shen Zhibei asked.

“This should be enough. It’s not like we’re living there long-term. Besides, the production team will prepare things, right?”

“I advise you not to think too well of the production team. They’ll do anything for ratings,” Shen Zhibei could not help saying. “Bring more changes of clothes, and also some snacks that can fill your stomach.”

“There’s nothing else to add.” Shen Zhibei zipped the suitcase back up. “Oh, right. On the day we leave, the production team will probably also go into the bedroom and film a little. Get up early that day. I’ll need to move my daily necessities and clothes over in advance, so people won’t be able to tell that the two of us are living separately.”

“All right.” Gu Nan indicated that she remembered. “Anything else?”

“No.” Shen Zhibei pushed the suitcase back to Gu Nan. “You can go back and think properly about how to behave well on the variety show.”

Taking the suitcase, Gu Nan pushed it as she walked out.

“After thinking carefully, I feel that being a beautiful salted fish who shows off her looks can both avoid getting criticized and count as properly showing myself.”

Hearing this, Shen Zhibei laughed out loud.

Just like that, the day of departure arrived.

Early in the morning, Shen Zhibei moved a pile of her things into Gu Nan’s room.

Then the two of them began doing makeup and eating.

The eating part was mainly Gu Nan eating. Shen Zhibei was still eating salad.

“Aren’t you going to eat a little? When we get to the village, they’ll probably make us do farm work or something. If you don’t eat, be careful you don’t faint from hunger when doing physical labor.”

“Once we get to the village, I’ll need to eat. While I’m still at home, I need to eat a little less.” Saying this, Shen Zhibei looked somewhat enviously at Gu Nan, who kept stuffing food into her mouth.

A body that did not get fat really was nice.

While the two of them were eating, the doorbell at the Gu residence rang.

As Shen Zhibei said, “Eat quickly. It’s probably the production team making a surprise attack,” she carried her salad bowl into the kitchen.

Just after Shen Zhibei entered the kitchen, Butler Quan led four people in.

Among the four people, two were carrying cameras and had already begun filming Gu Nan, who was still eating.

Having a camera shoved in her face while she ate really made Gu Nan lose her appetite a little.

“You came really early,” she said to the production team. “Do you want to eat with us? There’s still breakfast in the kitchen.”

“We’ve already eaten,” the leading staff member said. “Teacher Shen isn’t eating breakfast with you?”

“She just finished eating and went to the kitchen to put away her bowl.” Gu Nan put the last little steamed bun into her mouth and swallowed it. “I’m finished too.”

At this time, Shen Zhibei had also walked out from the kitchen and stood beside Gu Nan.

“Since both teachers have finished eating, could you show us around?” Although the staff member regretted not filming the two of them eating breakfast together, he still asked expectantly.

“Of course. Nannan, let’s take them to the bedroom to look at the luggage.”

“Okay.”

Gu Nan had no experience at all with filming variety shows and did not know what she should do at this time. So she completely carried out what she had said before: she would be a beautiful salted fish on the show and wait for Shen Zhibei to lead her actions.

Shen Zhibei knew what the production team wanted to film most.

Wasn’t it just the way she and Gu Nan interacted with the Gu family?

As long as they filmed that, whether the footage was good or bad, it would be explosive. But Shen Zhibei did not want them to film it.

So Shen Zhibei very proactively brought all of the production team members into the room to look at the luggage.

As soon as they entered, Gu Nan quickly pushed out both her and Shen Zhibei’s suitcases and opened them, letting Shen Zhibei introduce them.

Shen Zhibei blinked, smiled sweetly at the camera, and began introducing the luggage they were bringing.

In the middle, she also checked the time. Seeing that there was still some time before departure, after introducing the luggage, she proactively began introducing the furnishings in the room and the little stories behind them.

At first, Gu Nan occasionally added a few comments from the side to strengthen her presence, but the more she listened, the more something felt wrong.

Beauty, where did you learn so many things about me? And they can even be considered dark history?

Did my esteemed mothers tell you?!

Mom, you really are my biological mom!
