Chapter 368: Chapter 298: Not Favored_2 Chapter 368: Chapter 298: Not Favored_2 In fact, it was indeed not bad; there were too many places within South Korea that needed translation and communication with China.
A group of people spent over four hours flying to Seoul.
The program team that was waiting to receive them acted mostly as a re formality, except when their gaze lingered for a few extra seconds upon seeing Wu Mu—clearly lacking in enthusiasm.
“Dammit, what a little… brat!”
Song Yuhao thought of the information he had seen before and quickly corrected himself.
“Please don’t mind him; everyone in their program team is a bunch of short-sighted fools!”
Clearly, the program team was not fond of Wu Mu, a character forcibly inserted by the sponsors.
It wasn’t just that Wu Mu had conflicts with their team mber Li Zhengxun; he had no fa within South Korea and even had a negative influence.
Most importantly, Wu Mu couldn’t speak Korean, making communication in the program virtually impossible.
They not only had to consider Wu Mu’s communication issues and arrange a dedicated team mber to act as his translator but also had to modify so program details to prevent him from being too inconspicuous or awkward.
If it were a singing program or the like, being unable to communicate would not be a big deal as recording could proceed.
But an instant reaction-based reality TV show,
basic communication itself was a problem, how could they expect any interesting footage from him?
The program team’s reception internally cursed, thoroughly frustrated with Wu Mu.
You’re a Hua Country star, a Hua Country star who doesn’t speak Korean, what the hell were you thinking participating in this kind of show?
If it hadn’t been for the sponsor’s request, giving face to the sponsor, the program team clearly wouldn’t have bothered with a Hua Country star like him.
And they certainly didn’t expect him to have any impact on the program like the executives at Yang Company had.
Forget about program effects; it would be good enough if it didn’t turn into a disaster, and thankfully, it was a recorded show, so problems could still be edited out.
The program team was already planning to significantly cut Wu Mu’s footage when the ti ca.
Flying from Seoul to Busan, with ti waiting in between, took nearly another two hours.
By the ti Wu Mu arrived at the hotel where the program team was staying in Busan, it was already past midnight.
The other mbers of the program team had already arrived at the hotel.
“Is that Hua Country runt here yet? I think I heard Director Cui’s voice.”
In the group chat of regular mbers of the program, actor Lee Taihuan sent a ssage.
“It must be him, tomorrow we start escaping bright and early, any later and he wouldn’t get enough sleep.”
The main emcee of the program, Shen Zaixian replied.
“Tomorrow, we need to teach him a lesson; criticizing Zhengxun was bad enough, now he dares to show up on our program?” Lee Taihuan was extrely irritable.
Li Zhengxun was also in the group chat.
He couldn’t understand why this person would run to their show.
When he learned from the program team that this person would be the guest for the next episode, he was shocked.
How could a Hua Country star be invited to their top-rated variety show?
After inquiring further and finding it was arranged by Yang Company, and that Yang Company seed to plan on using him as a new spokesperson, he was even more baffled.
Why would Yang Company consider such a Hua Country star for a spokesperson?
But baffled as he was, he still quickly reminded in the group chat, “Don’t go picking a fight with that brat; that brat has no scruples, there’s no winning against him.”
“?Zhengxun, since when did you beco so timid?” Lee Taihuan, who was on good terms with him, sent a direct ssage.
Li Zhengxun, feeling helpless, of course, felt this way after one past encounter.
He wasn’t known for his good temper—otherwise, there wouldn’t have been any cursing at Wu Mu behind the scenes.
But with Wu Mu, he really didn’t want to get involved again.
It wasn’t that he was afraid of him… okay, maybe a little.
It wasn’t the person himself he feared, but his way of handling things.
Previously, just a few private words against him resulted in him retaliating openly on the program.
Such a reckless, influence-deaf star was a first for him.
He worried that if he provoked him again, he might start cursing openly or even start a fight right there.
Although by then his career in South Korea would definitely be finished, they might also be affected.
He’s not so no-na rookie whom you can bully and forget; he’s already famous in Hua Country and now has the backing of Yang Company in South Korea, so there’s no telling if he will drag them down with him.
He beca a celebrity to make money, not to hold grudges against idiots.
“Taihuan, you don’t need to bother with him. When the ti cos, if everyone just ignores him and doesn’t interact with him, that will be enough to embarrass him,” Li Zhengxun texted.
A Hua Country star who doesn’t speak Korean – it’s normal for them not to interact well, and even if it airs, there won’t be any issues.
Besides, those kinds of shots probably won’t be aired. Seeing that he doesn’t bring any effect to the show, they’ll definitely cut all his scenes.
“Don’t make it too ugly,” Shen Zaixian cautioned.
Another regular cast mber, An Minghao, joked, “We don’t have any interaction shots with that Hua Country star either. It’s mainly Huiyan. The director has arranged for her to team up with him. I just looked up his information; Huiyan, don’t be chard by his pretty-boy tricks.”
“Let Huiyan show him so colors tomorrow! @Jin Huiyan.”
Lee Taihuan tagged in the group, but after waiting a while, no one replied.
“Huiyan might be asleep.”
Of course, Jin Huiyan was not asleep.
She looked at the chat in the group and sighed helplessly.
What is this ss?
Why had she been so unlucky as to be stuck with this hot potato?
Tomorrow’s recording starts with pairs teaming up.
There are six regular mbers plus two guests, making a total of four groups.
Although they said the pairing could either be by free combination or drawing lots.
Jin Huiyan had already been inford by the production team that she and Wu Mu would be paired together.
The reason being… Wu Mu doesn’t speak Korean, and can’t communicate with the others, which would hinder the progress of the show.
Although she doesn’t speak Chinese, her English is good, allowing her to communicate normally with him.
Having good English turned out to be a mistake.
Thinking about tomorrow’s recording, Jin Huiyan just felt a headache coming on.
The others might avoid interacting with Wu Mu, but as his partner, she obviously couldn’t do that without affecting her own image on screen.
Caught between her teammates and the guest was one thing, but this guest himself was troubleso.
No fa, a negative influence to boot, and communicating in English could also impact the show’s effect.
Her own screenti would definitely get significantly cut tomorrow.
She thought to herself.
As for the seduction by a handso man her teammates ntioned.
Looking at the photos she just pulled up on her phone, he did indeed seem quite handso.
Before seeing them, she hadn’t known there was such a star in Hua Country.
But handso as he may be, she wasn’t so silly girl obsessed with looks; after all, she was one of South Korea’s popular stars, so how could she favor soone just on appearance?
Hmm.
Jin Huiyan, known for her wisdom and goddess-like persona, leader of the renowned Korean girl group M-Mirage, thought this to herself.
…
Indeed, the program started recording early the next morning.
The guests were still in their sleep when suddenly the harsh sound of alarms rang outside.
Then a gaphone blared, “All criminals inside, listen up, you are now surrounded. Co out with your hands up and surrender.”
And then Wu Mu’s door was furiously knocked on.
Opening the door, completely baffled, with only a brief script and knowing it was an escape-thed show.
Outside, the director looked urgent and said in English, “Run, we’ve been betrayed. The police have surrounded us. You take the goods and run first; I’ll cover your back!”
Saying that, he hurriedly handed Wu Mu a briefcase.
