Ma'am You Have Been Uncovered

Chapter 356: No Two Kings in One Kingdom

Yan Xi replied with a message saying that he had arrived in the town.

Qin Ran casually sent her location to him, then threw her phone back to the director.

The camera was still filming her.

The director kept her phone.

While reading the task card on the wooden table, Jing Wen saw Qin Ran coming back and glanced at the end of the road before casually asking, “What does your other friend do?”

“He’s a singer.” Qin Ran also glanced at the end of the road.

Bai Tiantian and the others weren’t curious, and they kept watching the old villa behind the table.

This street had already been emptied by the show crew, and the reality show was also kept secret, so no one except fans who occasionally came here to play knew they were here.

Three figures appeared at the end.

Jing Wen, Tian Xiaoxiao, and Qin Xiuchen, who were curious about Qin Ran’s friend, stared at the end of the road.

Instead of moving the camera over to the road, they either continued shooting Qin Xiuchen and Jing Wen’s reactions or moved over to shoot Bai Tiantian and the others.

The director wasn’t very concerned about her other friend, either.

“Then, I might have heard your friend’s song coincidentally before.” Jing Wen leaned on the table behind and laughed.

Raising an eyebrow, Qin Ran casually replied, “Maybe.”

As they talked, they could see three figures slowly approaching.

The last person seemed to be wearing a mask.

Bai Tiantian glanced back and suddenly laughed. “He’s even wearing a mask. I guess he’s a star with a big background.”

Other than stars with many fans, those unpopular rookies would be mocked if they wore masks and sunglasses. The paparazzi didn’t pay attention to them, and they didn’t have many fans either, so what kind of act were they putting on?

Tian Xiaoxiao’s eyesight had always been very good. She smiled at ease until she clearly saw the face of the third person. She directly stared at the last person wearing a mask and with a lowered head, and then numbly said, “Ran Ran, I- I feel like your friend looks very familiar.”

Some people’s characteristics couldn’t be covered by a mask.

As he approached, other people nearer to him also noticed him.

Bai Tiantian, Jing Wen, and the others all fell into silence, and even Qin Xiuchen was also very surprised.

If he covered half of the entertainment industry, then Yan Xi covered the other half.

He was the Film Emperor, while he was the Superstar Emperor. No two kings were seen in one kingdom.

In particular, Yan Xi was the entertainment industry’s purest celebrity. Other than releasing albums and holding concerts, he never took any commercials, films, nor television shows. His occasional composition for television shows was already considered his deepest interaction with the entertainment industry.

Not only were his songs popular all over China, but also half of the world abroad. The domestic music scene had never reached such a pinnacle before.

Everyone present was in the entertainment industry, and they all recognized Yan Xi.

Standing beside Bai Tiantian, Jing Wen’s cousin felt a little stunned and murmured, “Qin Ran’s friend can’t possibly be Emperor Yan, right?”

Bai Tiantian returned to her senses and bit her lips. How could it be?

Other than them, even Jing Wen stared at Yan Xi as he stopped in front of them, then removed his mask to reveal a delicate face. “Great God...”

“You’re here.” Qin Ran directly interrupted him. She casually waved her hand and raised her eyes to the director team. “We can start recording.”

The others fell in deep silence.

Qin Ran’s words were still buzzing at the back of Film Empress Jing’s mind.

She had answered that her friend was “a singer.”

Yes, he was a singer, but why didn’t she mention that he was “Emperor Yan”?!

Yan Xi proactively apologized to everyone. “I’m so sorry for coming late.” historical

“No!” Film Empress Jing finally reacted. “You’re not late. Film Emperor Qin was too anxious and came too early!”

Then, she stared at him with a generous and dignified attitude. “Are you here to participate in the variety show?”

With clear eyes, Yan Xi nodded under everyone’s attention.

Holding the sign, the director stood among them in a daze.

In his headset, the assistant director was very anxious in the studio. “Why aren’t you recording? What happened on the scene? Who came? Why is everyone reacting like this?”

The others couldn’t help but scream quietly.

How come the group of staff didn’t take out their mobile phones?

What could they do with their phones?

They had signed a confidentiality agreement!

Yan Xi’s back was turned to the camera, and the camera crew hadn’t been prepared to shoot him. Since he had yet to wear his microphone, the director team couldn’t hear him either.

Upon hearing the assistant director’s questions, the director gasped and replied, “Erm, Film Emperor Qin’s niece seems to have invited Emperor Yan to our variety show...”

He stared up at the sun rising above his head. “Are we going to shoot to fame??”

Emperor Yan and Film Emperor Qin in the same variety show at the same time!

In particular, Emperor Yan was an anomaly in the entertainment industry who had almost no interviews. If news of his sudden appearance in a variety show was released, netizens would definitely explode!

Yesterday, he had felt afraid of what kind of operation the computer bug would bring to the show, and she had indeed brought one...

She had directly bombed the director team...

“Quickly, change the next task.” The director pressed his headset and immediately ordered his staff.

Because they initially had no expectations of Qin Ran’s friends, the director hadn’t given her friends many scenes. But now that it was Emperor Yan, the top superstar in the entertainment industry with a unique halo over his head, how was it the same?

While hurriedly ordering the staff, he passed by Film Emperor Qin’s manager.

He couldn’t help but cheerfully say, “You actually hid it from me. If you had told me it was Emperor Yan, I would have prepared a hundred scripts for him overnight! But I like this surprise. We’re going to shoot to fame!”

The manager was speechless.

**

Qin Xiuchen and Jing Wen were both Gods of the film industry and were second to none when it came to acting. He glanced at her, then greeted Yan Xi politely with clear eyes. “Emperor Yan, hello. I’m Qin Ran’s uncle, Qin Xiuchen.”

Qin Xiuchen’s status was on par with Yan Xi’s in the circle.

He was in the film world, while Yan Xi was in the music world. Both of them possessed unshakable existence, or the entertainment circle wouldn’t have termed them as the “two kings of different kingdoms.”

Furthermore, since he was Qin Ran’s friend, Qin Xiuchen was a hundred times more serious to him.

However, after hearing that, Yan Xi hurriedly took a step back and didn’t dare to shake hands with him. He bowed, his thick eyelashes trembling slightly. “Hello, Uncle. I’m Yan Xi!”

Qin Xiuchen was speechless.

In terms of seniority, the two of them were equal to each other. But Yan Xi just called him Uncle...

Everyone glanced at Qin Ran and subconsciously thought that Yan Xi had probably followed Qin Ran and addressed Qin Xiuchen as “Uncle.”

What was their relationship?

The variety show started recording.

Jing Wen covered her microphone and whispered involuntarily, “Who is your niece?”

Qin Xiuchen blankly glanced at her. He also wanted to know that...

He knew that Qin Ran was a little mysterious. For example, during breakfast every morning, she would receive a thermos cup that was handed to the program team unknowingly, and also, Qin Ling’s three meals a day...

But now, he was very curious as to how his niece knew Emperor Yan and even made such a superstar address him as “Uncle.”

During the recording, they didn’t have time to ask so many questions, so they just swallowed them back.

The recording started.

Today, they were divided into two groups.

At the beginning of the show, Qin Xiuchen and Jing Wen each led a group. But because of Yan Xi, Qin Ran, Tian Xiaoxiao, Yan Xi, and Jing Wen’s cousin formed a group.

Qin Xiuchen, Jing Wen, Bai Tiantian, and her teammates were in another group.

In this issue of the theme [Escape from the Strange Town], the program team had set up several stages in the three-way street. The two groups had to find each stage, each with different adventures with designated tasks. They had to obtain clues by meeting the standards in order to find a way out of the strange town.

Inside, the crew had arranged a bunch of suspenseful and horrifying scenes. At the beginning of the show, actors in weird wedding dresses and pale makeup dangled in the various ancient houses.

The director had already mentioned it to the staff and had added several stages with musical elements.

Following the photographer, he saw that Qin Ran was lazily walking with her hands in her pockets. For some reason, he felt inexplicably uneasy and confirmed again. “There’s no stage requiring the use of brainpower, right?”

The director team didn’t want to experience the horror of being dominated by the Beijing University school tyrant again.

The staff vowed. “Director, don’t worry. Today’s stages are either designated high-difficulty actions or technical skills. It’s also in line with Bai Tiantian’s designated character. The Beijing University tyrant definitely won’t be able to do it!” Jiang Corporation wasn’t satisfied with Bai Tiantian’s lack of spotlight yesterday, so they had to make it up today...

Upon hearing this, the director also remembered the list of designated characters for Bai Tiantian.

In addition to a school tyrant, she was designed as a technically skilled and pure campus belle.

Picking up a book and flipping through it, the director turned to the program group’s main plan. They would help Bai Tiantian showcase her profound technical skills. He looked at the line that was specially circled—Supreme-level in the Kyushu Tour.
