[Really? I’ve never heard of her being skilled in calligraphy or painting.]
“Teacher Si should be familiar to all of you,” the assistant director introduced Xu Jiannian, “Teacher Xu is a top celebrity in our industry. If Teacher Si has any questions about the film and television industry, you can ask him.”
Si Fuqing nodded politely yet distantly, “Teacher Xu.”
Xu Jiannian’s gaze on the girl was evaluative, then he smiled, “Teacher Si.”
“This is Shuning, a rising star of Great Xia TV,” the assistant director mentioned Qi Shuning with pride and satisfaction, “You’re of similar age, you might find common topics to discuss.”
Qi Shuning greeted coolly, “Hello.”
“Alright, everyone,” the assistant director clapped his hands, “We need everyone to form temporary teams of two. Who would you like to team up with?”
Ning Luoyao quickly responded, “With Qingqing!”
Yuan Heping and Shen Xiuwen also expressed, “I’d like to be in a group with the young lady.”
“With so many choosing Teacher Si,” the assistant director scratched his head, “What about Teacher Si?”
Si Fuqing raised an eyebrow, “Yaoyao spoke first, so I’ll team up with her.”
Yuan Heping sighed, “Then I’ll pair up with Teacher Shen. We’ll form an elderly group.”
Xu Jiannian ended up teaming with Qi Shuning.
Qi Shuning breathed a sigh of relief.
She was somewhat worried Si Fuqing would choose Xu Jiannian. After all, his popularity was obvious, and a little association could boost one’s own.
It seemed Si Fuqing, as a minor idol, still had some self-awareness.
“Qingqing, starting today, we have to cook our own lunch,” Ning Luoyao said nervously, “Do you know how to cook? My parents spoiled me; I can’t even chop vegetables. ”
Si Fuqing pondered, “I’m not good in the kitchen, but I can manage survival cooking outdoors. ”
The program crew provided each group with iron pots and wood.
They were expected to chop their own firewood.
[Wow, the first meal is this challenging? Are you going to climb trees and raid bird nests later?]
[Looking forward to seeing Jiannian climb a tree. No specific reason, just like to see him in challenging situations.]
[Of the six, it seems only Shuning can cook. The others can’t.]
Ning Luoyao eyed the wood, thicker than her waist, and swallowed hard, “Qingqing, let’s wait for Teacher Xu to chop their wood, then we can ask him to help us, considering we—”
Before Ning Luoyao could finish saying “lack strength,” Si Fuqing swiftly split a thick log with a loud “crack.”
With several more efficient strikes, she quickly finished chopping the firewood.
Meanwhile, the other two groups had just picked up their axes and were struggling to find the right angle and force.
Ning Luoyao:
[The look on Yaoyao’s face, priceless!]
[Wow, what kind of superhuman strength does Si Fuqing have? She makes using an axe look so easy.]
[You think her fitness videos are a joke? The weights she lifts in her training are too heavy even for some muscle men.]
[This makes it awkward for the other two male guests.]
Yuan Heping tried to chop wood but couldn’t manage it, laughing at himself: “I’m old, not as strong as I used to be.”
“Let me do it,” Si Fuqing said, taking the axe and swiftly chopping Yuan Heping’s group’s wood as well.
Xu Jiannian, who had been training for a war movie, managed to chop the wood successfully, despite it being his first time as well.
However, he silently observed the cuts on his palms, then looked at Si Fuqing’s unscathed hands, exhaling slowly.
Something wasn’t quite right?
“I’ll go find some food,” Si Fuqing said, wiping her hands. “Yaoyao, you start the fire.”
Ning Luoyao, still in a daze, asked, “How do I start a fire?”
Si Fuqing was already getting up, “Elementary school stuff, friction fire starting. ”
Ning Luoyao:
Confused, she picked up some wood and began trying to start a fire by friction.
Back at the tents.
The director had initially not expected much from Si Fuqing, invited by the assistant director, and had considered her just a pretty face.
Survival shows test not a celebrity’s acting or singing skills, but their practical life skills.
Many stars today lack these abilities.
That’s why many celebrities were hesitant to join Great Xia TV’s show, fearing it might expose their weaknesses and earn them criticism.
The director hadn’t anticipated Si Fuqing would surprise him so much. Excited, he slammed the table, “Quick, keep the camera on her, let’s see what she finds for food.”
Each regular guest had three cameras assigned for comprehensive coverage. Cameraman said, “…Director, she’s moving too fast, we can’t keep up..”
