Chapter 94 The Road to Becoming a Movie Queen (3)
After hanging up the phone, the group leader pleaded with the two men on the other end of the line with a bitter face: "I said everything you asked me to say."
The older brother, twirling a knife in his hand, said with a grin, "Well done. We'll leave tomorrow after Zhao Jun signs the contract."
This is because they're worried about having to report it again.
The group leader said meekly, "Then what would you two like to eat? I'll order takeout."
The other man's expression changed: "Stop trying to play tricks. Someone will bring you food. Behave yourself."
The group leader repeatedly agreed: "Okay, I just wanted to treat you two to a meal, nothing more. Thank you, brother."
I wonder who Zhao Jun offended that would go to such lengths to kill her.
Gu Shijiu indeed went to sign the contract at the address given by the group leader the next day.
The program's director and staff were very polite.
When she saw her humming a song as she came out of the building, Su Chengzi, who was in the distance, put down her binoculars and left with satisfaction.
Hmph, no matter how powerful she is, there are plenty of ways to make her suffer on that deserted island.
Su Chengzi comes from a good family and has been in the industry for many years, so she always has a few capable people at her disposal.
Gu Shijiu was someone Yuan Jiang was interested in, and she dared not cause trouble on Yuan's territory.
But this reality show is set on a deserted island.
Su Chengzi bribed the director and went to great lengths to trick Gu Shijiu into going there to deal with her.
The next morning, Gu Shijiu opened the suitcase that Wang Cuihua had packed for her, stuffed in a lot of snacks, and prepared to leave.
Watching her movements, Wang Cuihua said, "Be careful."
"Mmm," Gu Shijiu replied casually, choosing between potato chips and beef jerky.
The suitcase is a bit small; after putting in clothes and essential personal items, there's not much space left.
Gu Shijiu thought for a moment and took out her personal belongings so that she could put the potato chips and beef jerky in.
"I'm such a clever person," Gu Shijiu praised herself in her heart, and then took out the clothes again.
Doesn't this allow us to put in more snacks?
Wang Cuihua asked, "So what will you wear and use there?"
She had seen the contract; it said the island was deserted and there was nothing there.
"Hey, the production team will arrange it." Although Gu Shijiu had never worked on a reality show, she knew a little about it.
We can't just stop her from brushing her teeth.
Wang Cuihua then stopped talking and silently looked at the back of Gu Shijiu's head.
Although the wound has healed, the ejected skull fragments will not grow back.
Zhao Jun originally had a round head, but Gu Shijiu now has to go out with a buzz cut.
She looked in the mirror and, well, apart from her hair being so straight and shaved like it was cut with a knife, making her face look a little strange from the side and her face appear larger, there was nothing else unusual.
So a buzz cut really doesn't look good.
Gu Shijiu stared at her head with a tense expression.
Wang Cuihua's gaze also fell on the back of her head, making her feel somewhat uncomfortable.
Gu Shijiu took out a card from her wallet, which contained the 200,000 yuan given to her by the production team yesterday.
After the remaining episodes are recorded, I will pay 500,000, and after the episodes are broadcast, I will pay the final 300,000.
"I might be gone for a while, so you can take money from the card." Gu Shijiu handed the card to Wang Cuihua.
Since you are going to take care of Zhao Jun's parents, it is only right to provide them with alimony.
Gu Shijiu felt extremely distressed and added, "But you can only spend a maximum of 50,000, unless you get sick or something serious happens."
Fifty thousand was the maximum amount she could offer.
Wang Cuihua did not refuse: "Why should I get money?"
"You're my mother." Gu Shijiu suddenly felt something was off.
She puts all the money she earns into the bank every day, and it seems like Wang Cuihua is always the one spending the money on groceries and other necessities.
It turns out she had been spending Wang Cuihua's money all along.
This realization made her somewhat uncomfortable.
You can't blame her, since Wang Cuihua never asks her for money.
Gu Shijiu spent half an hour calculating carefully—but couldn't figure it out.
"You can spend 100,000; consider it my living expenses during this period." She gave up on calculating the amount and casually increased Wang Cuihua's credit limit.
"Will you come back?" Wang Cuihua thought Gu Shijiu was going to part ways with her.
"Why not come back? Ten terms is only two months or so." Gu Shijiu didn't understand what the other person meant.
She waved goodbye to Wang Cuihua, carrying her suitcase, saying, "Then I'm leaving."
For some reason, Wang Cuihua suddenly felt a little relieved: "Okay, let's go home early."
After all that fuss, we were a little late in setting off.
Gu Shijiu sat in the car, sighing as he looked at the electric bikes weaving through the streets and the red light ahead.
Her destination was in the city center, but it was rush hour, and her taxi had been stuck in traffic in the city center for half an hour.
Seeing that she was about to be late, Gu Shijiu became a little anxious; she had never been late before.
Thinking of this, she greeted the taxi driver, "Sir, I'll get off here."
After the car stopped, Gu Shijiu took the change from the driver, hoisted the suitcase onto her shoulder, and ran off in a flash.
The driver, who had just closed the trunk, turned around but could no longer see her: Where did she go?
Gu Shijiu carried her suitcase through the city, which was indeed much faster than taking a taxi.
The only downside is that you have to stop frequently to check the navigation and map, and sometimes you have to ask passersby for directions.
When Gu Shijiu started running wildly, the production crew had been waiting for a long time on the bus downstairs in the office building.
The reality show is called "Desert Island Horror," and you can tell from the name that it's a thriller survival program.
The show has a wide audience, and there have been instances of contestants dying in the past.
The deserted island is in the far sea, and the production crew has to take a specific flight to get there.
This route was specially opened by the original family for the program, and it is only opened twice a year.
They transported people there once and brought them back once.
Each season of the show follows a format of celebrities plus ordinary people, spending more than two months on a deserted island.
Celebrities generally don't have a very high level of fame; they need national recognition or exposure.
After all, no real big shot would risk their life like that.
The entire event will be broadcast live, and ten episodes will be edited together based on the guests' performances afterward.
Viewers can choose to watch the live broadcast or the edited version of the program later.
In the past, many celebrities have become popular again through this variety show, and some ordinary people have become famous overnight because of their good performance, and made their debut directly.
On a deserted island in a no-man's-land, deaths really don't have much of an impact.
Even now, as the show has progressed, many viewers are hoping for something exciting to happen.
After the preview of this variety show aired, some betting odds were opened, with people betting on whether anyone would get injured or even die.
The guests who participated in the program arrived one after another.
Veteran actress Xu Ning, who hasn't filmed in a long time, and middle-aged actor Qin Damin arrived the earliest and were already sitting on the bus.
Popular idol Song Wei, who debuted in his teens, and actress Su Chengzi, who debuted as a child star, are on their way;
There were only two amateurs, Zhao Jun and Zhang San, who joined the production with their own investment, and they were completely unreachable.
The director yelled at the assistant director, "Where are they? What's going on? Time's almost up!"
