Gu Cheng pursed his lips and said nothing, like a gourd with its mouth sawed off.
Looking at Gu Che again, his face showed anger, but his ears and neck were red.
[Ancient Martial System: You three are truly three extremes]
Eldest brother Gu Cheng is calm and stoic, not good at speaking; second brother is cold and aloof but actually easily shy because of family; and the little sister, bold and outgoing.
It just so happens that these three became siblings.
Fortunately, the sister is thick-skinned, helping to ease the relationship between the two brothers.
"Big brother, is there a problem with that TV series? Will it ruin second brother's reputation?"
Tuanzi proposed a hypothesis.
Gu Cheng shook his head, glanced at his naive-looking sister, then suddenly reached out to cover her ears and said to Gu Che, "That producer wants to develop an improper relationship with you."
Gu Che: "!!!"
He had no idea, not even his manager figured it out!
Gu Cheng maintained a cold face, "She spoke carelessly after drinking. With such intentions, you can't guard against her on the crew, and she might even threaten you."
Even though Gu Che is the leading actor, if the producer or investors want to cause trouble, it's too easy. Whether it's cutting scenes or randomly adding scenes for the second male lead to compete with the main lead, it's quite unpleasant.
There are so many crews inviting younger brother, why suffer there?
Gu Che opened his mouth but couldn't say a word.
Gu Cheng released his hand.
Tuanzi cooperated by showing a puzzled expression, "What were you guys talking about? Miaomiao didn't hear a word."
[Ancient Martial System: Liar, your hearing is so good]
[Miaomiao: Oh, gotta take care of big brother's fragile little heart. If Miaomiao said she heard it, big brother definitely wouldn't say anything more.]
She rubbed her face.
"It's nothing important." Gu Cheng barely explained.
Gu Che took a deep breath.
Since big brother was rare in being honest, he decided to ask everything at once.
"Then what about that ceremony before? You said nothing would make you let me attend."
"That ceremony," Gu Cheng paused, "the security was terrible. The organizers saved money and barely hired anyone to maintain order."
Just imagining the chaos with so many big stars present that day was understandable.
Gu Che recalled, seems that fans madly rushed to the red carpet, trying to hug celebrities that day.
He didn't attend because big brother stopped him, and although he was angry, he didn't go in the end. The manager looked relieved afterward.
"What about that fan meeting..."
When asking, Gu Che had already guessed the answer.
Someone who pays attention to the intentions of a producer for a TV series he starred in and the security of a ceremony certainly wouldn't allow him to have too close contact with fans.
In recent years, incidents of attacking artists during fan meetings weren't unheard of.
Gu Cheng paused again for a long time before saying, "I saw some anti-fans saying they wanted to sneak in and use laser pointers on your eyes, others saying they'd bring acid, and..."
Tuanzi looked back and found second brother's face red like... a peach.
"You, you even pay attention to my anti-fans' movements?"
Gu Cheng said nothing.
He stood up and started to leave.
"Before participating in the show, I'll arrange a few bodyguards for Miaomiao."
Tuanzi reacted quickly, immediately jumping on his back and wrapping her arms around his neck.
"You can't leave, we said we'd eat together!"
Gu Cheng: "? When did we say that?"
Tuanzi turned her head, inviting Gu Che, "Let's have dinner as a family... second brother?"
Her so-called second brother rushed back to his room and shut the door.
"Second brother?" tilting her head.
[Ancient Martial System: Shy]
[Miaomiao: I can see that]
[Miaomiao: Just now, what did big brother say about laser pointers and acid]
She didn't quite understand, but felt it wasn't good.
The system explained it to her.
Perched on Gu Cheng's back, Tuanzi suddenly became aware and angry, clenching her little fists and saying 'hey ha'.
"How dare they try to hurt second brother, take my punch!"
Gu Cheng was afraid she'd fall, so he stood still and didn't move.
As a result, he couldn't leave.
Actually, both brothers were very shy.
Maybe this was their first candid exchange.
Gu Che reacted a bit more, while Gu Cheng tried to stay calm.
"Big brother, do you think Miaomiao's performance is worth a big meal?"
Tuanzi cuddled up with the peach against him, "Big meal!"
Gu Cheng didn't value such things and wasn't very knowledgeable.
"I'll check for restaurants nearby."
He took out his phone.
At this moment, a message popped up.
[Director Gu, we're short on people for the third episode of "Go on an adventure together", a Jianghu emergency]
Gu Cheng quickly turned off the screen.
But Tuanzi had already seen it clearly.
"Big brother, this person named Ai Zhen mentioned 'Go on an adventure together', what kind of show is it?"
Gu Cheng pursed his lips, a faint displeasure flashing in his eyes.
Of course, the displeasure was directed at this deputy director, not his sister.
"An adventure and survival reality show."
He didn't dare turn on the phone again, so he said, "I'll cook, what do you want to eat?"
The little foodie's attention was instantly diverted.
"Meat, as long as it's meat, Miaomiao likes it all!"
As she said this, Gu Cheng remembered that his sister was a picky eater.
Just right, let her eat more vegetables tonight.
He called the property management to order some ingredients.
Less than an hour later, someone from the property delivered the ingredients.
He looked around and couldn't find an apron in his brother's room, so he took off his suit jacket and rolled up the sleeves of his white shirt to start handling the ingredients.
Tuanzi was originally gnawing on a peach, but noticing the commotion in the kitchen, she quietly approached. Soon, a small head peeked in, spying.
In slacks and a white shirt, the impeccably handsome man was meticulously preparing the ingredients with a serious expression, as if he was handling not spare ribs, but a treasure needing careful attention.
She took a bite of her peach.
[Miaomiao: Big brother is so handsome]
[Ancient Martial System: Heh]
[Miaomiao: You have an opinion?]
[Ancient Martial System: He concealed the main point, 'Go on an adventure together' isn't just an adventure survival show, it's also a parent-child adventure survival show]
Tuanzi blinked and then blinked again.
She quietly withdrew her small head and scuttled to the door of Gu Che's room, knocking.
"Second brother, Miaomiao brought you fruit~"
After a while, the door finally opened.
The top-tier star's face was no longer red.
He restored his previous cool and aloof demeanor, glanced down, and saw the half-eaten peach in his sister's hand.
"Hehe~"
Tuanzi smiled embarrassedly and slid through the door crack, using her back to close it.
"Second brother," she clung over, "do you know 'Go on an adventure together'?"
Gu Che picked her up and put her on the computer chair, giving it a spin.
Tuanzi's eyes lit up.
"Fun, again, again."
Gu Che spun her a few more times.
Tuanzi 'woohoo-ed' a few times.
"It's a parent-child show, combining 'Travel with Parents' and 'Wilderness Survival', also a live reality show inviting guests to go on wilderness adventures. However, to accommodate young guests, the live location is relatively safe, and the show will provide resource packs, which guests can obtain through games when they have no means to survive in the wild."
Gu Che recalled carefully.
"It seems to be Pineapple TV's self-produced show, the first season."
He took out his phone to search, finding the show poorly rated, with low popularity and even if edited, the viewership would be dismal. The third episode is about to broadcast, and yet one group of guests has quit.
"Guests withdrew?"
Gu Che realized, looking at his sister, "How do you know about this show?"
Tuanzi casually mentioned Ai Zhen's name and that sentence.
The top-tier star immediately turned dark.
Ai Zhen, deputy director of Pineapple TV.
