So red that everything is black

Chapter 14 Light Red ([-])
By coincidence, Pei Yuan's eyes also fell on Wen Xinlan.

Wen Xinlan quickly lowered her head, hoping that the other party would not notice her rude behavior.

Mu Jin noticed Pei Yuan's special look, turned around and introduced him: "This is Teacher Guifu, who is very popular on video websites."

Pei Yuan took the initiative to step forward and extended his hand to signal: "Hello, Teacher Guifu, I am Pei Yuan. I have seen your video before, and your perseverance for your dreams is touching."

Wen Xinlan quickly shook hands and returned the gift: "Thank you, Teacher Pei, I will continue to work hard."

It was rare to be so close to a big star. Wen Xinlan quietly raised her head to take a peek at Pei Yuan and found that this man was so handsome!
And he’s much more handsome in person than in the photo!

Other celebrities are much uglier in person than in their photos, but Pei Yuan is the only one who is more handsome in person than in their photos.

Wen Xinlan was a nymphomaniac, but Pei Yuan's eyes were fixed on her.

Woohoo!Found!
What a shame!

I was caught peeking twice!
Wen Xinlan quickly looked away, her forehead began to sweat, and she felt ashamed and uneasy.

New guests entered the studio entrance, and Mu Jin and others went to greet those platinum writers again.

The producer continued to lead Pei Yuan and Ye Xuesong to the main stage.

Ye Xuesong lay next to Pei Yuan's ear and whispered: "You scared people!"

"Have it?"

"Calm down! Chief Editor Mu can tell something is wrong with you!"

After an afternoon of discussion and running-in, the copyright of the new background music has been negotiated with YE Music, and all lighting adjustments have been completed.

In order to save time, after dinner, the "Writing Youth" program team officially started recording.

Sponsors have distributed Sakura keyboards to each writer.

The host is Luo Jia, a male artist from YCEC.

Luojia held up the microphone and said, "Now, please invite all the contestants to come on stage!"

The lights on the main stage went out, and the BGM of "Superstar" sounded shockingly.

"I am this prosperous superstar, and history is written by me, regardless of his reputation before and after his death..."

The lights at the entrance clicked on, and male writers filed out carrying silver keyboard cases, while female writers also appeared in an orderly manner carrying pink keyboards.

The male writer Qiang Qiao was ranked first, and Gui Fu was ranked last.

After the first round of cutscenes, the director shouted "Cut!"

"What's wrong director?"

The director asked: "Where's the momentum? Why do everyone look like thieves? Are they worthy of being in "Superstar"?"

"Sorry director, how about we do it again."

After the second cut, the director was still dissatisfied: "What's going on? Aren't the contestants this time all veteran writers who have been dormant for many years? Where is your pride? Where is your ambition to be famous? All of you, cheer me up. ! If you behave like this again, you are destined to be unfamous in this life!"

Several writers were obviously inspired by the director's words, and the third time went particularly smoothly. They were all energetic and domineering.

"Card! It's done!"

After the opening recording was completed, the camera turned to the instructor's empty seat.

Luo Jia introduced: "I would like to invite my first mentor, the all-around super popular writer Pei Yuan!"

"I would like to invite my second tutor, Ye Xuesong, a popular ancient Chinese writer!"

"We invite the platinum writers of Wenyuan Pavilion - Apple Banana Big Yali, Cherry Tomato, Spinach Loves Celery, Tomato Fried Potatoes!"

Pei Yuan, Ye Xuesong and several local platinum writers living in Haicheng served as judges for the first competition.

The camera was showing a close-up of the judges. Outside the venue, Wen Xinlan and Miss Loquat joked quietly: "The names of platinum writers are all fruits and vegetables. It seems that I didn't become a great person because I didn't have a good name."

"I also need to change my name. I can't call her Loquat girl. Calling me "Loquat" might make me famous!"

"Haha, great idea!"

After recording the preliminary material, Liu Yun held up the microphone and shouted: "The instructors can leave and take a rest. Please all the writers stay for the meeting."

Pei Yuan and others dispersed, and the remaining writers sat around the audience for a meeting.

Liuyun sent the card in the envelope to each writer.

"These are two questions for tomorrow's competition. Everyone has signed a confidentiality agreement before the game. Please do not spread the questions on the Internet. Go back tonight and come up with your own ideas. After recording the program tomorrow, wait and then type the answers." Yun's face gradually became serious, "Please don't think that the competition system is unfair. Whoever has more fans can ask a ghostwriter to write for them. Because literary works are highly subjective, this program emphasizes the performance effect and will not be like other programs. Competition programs set up online voting and are only scored by on-site judges. Everyone only needs to show their best writing skills. The contestants eliminated in the first phase are all contestants who have no time to continue competing, so please calm down."

Since ancient times, literati have been the best at intrigues.

Liuyun simply made everything clear on behalf of the organizer to avoid uncontrollable disputes.

After it was made public, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and could face the game with a more peaceful attitude. Both sides ended up relaxed.

Early on Sunday morning, the entire program crew was in full swing, and the director's filming officially started.

The first program is topic composition.

The characters and background are given in the title, and contestants are required to write a short novel within half an hour.

In order to increase the excitement, the staff also made paper lots such as "funny", "sad", and "reversal" and put them into the black box, and the contestants drew lots on the spot to decide the writing direction.

In fact, all contestants have made preparations in all categories, but no one knows which direction they will be drawn, or whether it is the content they are good at. The recorded expressions are extremely real and the effect is natural.

The keyboard crackled, and the serious faces of all the writers appeared on the big screen.

A small camera is also installed in front of each keyboard to record the subtle expressions of each contestant while typing.

Half an hour passed, and those who scratched their heads, picked their ears, wiped sweat, frowned, and meditated were all recorded by the camera.

It's time to end the game.

All the works were handed in, and the instructors sat together to comment on each article.

Of course, the program team has a script, which makes the judges' work much easier.

The post-editing has also been selected and sped up to make the entire program less boring.

After more than three hours of recording, the first ranking was released.

Although it was a knockout round, the atmosphere was not tense.

The field manager ordered takeout for everyone, which was a box lunch of two meat and two vegetables.

Ye Xuesong was chatting enthusiastically with several other platinum writers. Pei Yuan walked to the contestants alone with a box lunch and chatted with the contestants.

Miss Loquat said: "The photo in Mr. Pei Yuan's book looks more like a traditional literary man. I really didn't expect that I am so handsome and approachable!"

The peerless beautiful girl said: "Yes, I have heard the title of 'The Handsome Young Master Yuan' many years ago, and it is indeed well-deserved."

Li Daxia said: "I thought all male writers were fat nerds who smoked cigarettes with their left hand and picked at their feet with the right hand. I didn't expect that Teacher Pei Yuan has such a young and handsome image. No wonder he is so popular! There is a reason why I didn't become popular when I was on the street. At least the image is not good enough!”

Pei Yuan smiled and replied: "No, no, I look older in photos, which may have formed a stereotype."

Wen Xinlan said: "It is indeed a bit of a stereotype. I always thought that Teacher Pei Yuan was a serious traditional writer. I didn't expect that I am very young, like a college student."

Pei Yuan smiled slightly: "I am also 29 this year, and I am about to enter my third year."

A bald male writer said: "You may not imagine that I am only 25. If I had Teacher Pei Yuan's thick hair, would I be more popular with readers?"

After hearing this, everyone laughed.

Pei Yuan said: "After recording the program in the afternoon, I'll treat everyone to dinner! I heard that some friends have to rush back in a hurry tonight, so let's have dinner early."

"Really?" Miss Loquat's eyes gleamed.

"Of course! Come if you are free!"

"Thank you, Teacher Pei!"

After dinner, the program continued recording.

The eliminated contestants recorded farewell VCRs, welcomed everyone to read the book, and expressed their hopes for the future.

The director team found several of the popular contestants who were promoted to record a few short life videos, and chatted with the judges about their post-game remarks.

Pei Yuan spared no effort to recommend Gui Fu's works to the audience in front of the camera, and "forced" Ye Xuesong to make similar comments.

Ye Xuesong was very generous. In addition to recommending Guifu, he also recommended a promising male writer.

The afternoon recording was easy and smooth.

After everything was over, Pei Yuan took all the players to a nearby restaurant.
