Romance Variety Show: Director, there's something wrong with my script!

Chapter 17: Show Your Talents!

Chen Yuan glanced at the courtyard's layout and was somewhat surprised. Was there going to be a big meal tonight?

But for now, I decided to eat something else. I ended up getting two apples from the fridge, washing them, and eating them as I went upstairs.

There's still some time to go back to the room and relax before dinner.

As dusk settled in the sky, guests began to return to the courtyard one after another.

To save time, almost no one came back for lunch today.

"I'm so tired, let me lean on you for a bit!"

In the courtyard, Meng Shuran leaned wearily on Xu Zhiyi's shoulder.

Xu Zhiyi ruthlessly pushed her away and calmly said, "There's still some time before dinner, go back to sleep."

"Um, I'm afraid I'll sleep until dawn, I'd better go take a nice shower." Meng Shuran sighed and dragged herself toward the villa.

Chen Yuan sat on the balcony, his gaze falling on the female guests, and he thought to himself that these women were beautiful from every angle.

Standing together, they form a beautiful scene.

Upon returning to the villa and seeing the stage, everyone instantly forgot about the day's ordeal.

It wasn't until it was almost dark that Chen Yuan came downstairs. By then, the staff had already brought out today's buffet dishes.

Lobsters and hairy crabs are particularly eye-catching.

"Tonight is going to be another seafood feast!" Lin Wanxing looked at the fish, shrimp and crabs and suddenly felt a surge of hunger.

"Can we start eating now?" Meng Shuran licked her lips and asked.

However, everyone soon realized that it wasn't that simple, because the elusive butler was also there at that moment.

The butler smiled and said, "Not yet. There's a small activity after everyone is here. We can eat after that."

"..."

Lin Wanxing was speechless; this guy really knew how to pick his timing.

Once Su Qingyuan and Lu Zeyan, who had changed into different outfits, came downstairs, everyone was present. Looking at the delicious food, everyone wanted to start eating immediately.

"Before the dinner begins, I'd like to give a briefing on the progress of the five groups."

"Currently, three groups have completed their work: Su Qingyuan and Lu Zeyan, Lin Wanxing and Jiang Yichen, and Meng Shuran and Shen Zhici."

"The completion times for the three groups were 5.5 hours, 6 hours, and 5 hours, respectively."

"The two remaining groups that haven't finished are Xu Zhiyi and Ji Chengyu, and Zhang Jianjian and Chen Yuan."

"Therefore, the evaluation of today's activities will only be calculated after the last two groups have finished. Now, there will be a talent show at the dinner party, and each performance will be broadcast live for real-time voting. The group that wins first place can choose the food for tonight first."

The butler spoke slowly and deliberately, while those listening were dumbfounded.

"Does that mean I might not be able to eat the lobster?" Lin Wanxing asked in surprise.

"Yes, if these two lobsters are chosen, there won't be any new ones to replace them," the butler said with a smile.

"..."

"Tonight's talent show includes instrumental performances, singing, duets, and love song duets. As before, the performers will be randomly selected, and each group will decide who will go up to perform," the butler added.

The next moment, that familiar raffle box was brought up again.

Chen Yuan looked at the giant lobster and was incredibly tempted. This production team was truly wicked; they actually made them perform talents.

However, their group should be fine. Zhang Jianjian should have a good chance of getting it. Even if he doesn't get the lobster, he still has a chance at the hairy crab.

"Alright, now please have the female guest come forward and draw a number," the butler reminded her from the side.

Immediately, everyone was full of fighting spirit. At this moment, the feeling of hunger made everyone impatient. Lin Wanxing took the lead and drew a black ball, but did not rush to open it.

Zhang Jianjian was the third to draw, and Su Qingyuan, Meng Shuran, and Xu Zhiyi each drew a black ball.

The five people looked each other over, and finally opened it together.

"Huh? A duet dance?" Lin Wanxing was dumbfounded. She had thought she was guaranteed to be chosen to sing.

Upon seeing this, Su Qingyuan looked at her slip of paper and was immediately stunned. She had drawn a musical instrument performance slip, and she and Lu Zeyan stared at each other in disbelief.

Zhang Jianjian carefully opened his note, praying that there wouldn't be any musical instrument performances or anything like that.

"Singing performance?"

"Thank goodness, at least it's hairy crabs, right?" Zhang Jianjian breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was singing. Among the five groups, the two strongest singers had already drawn dancing, so it was a sure thing.

Compared to the others, Chen Yuan is probably the third best singer, right?

"What did you draw?" Chen Yuan asked curiously.

"Hehe, it's a sure thing, it's singing!" Zhang Jianjian exclaimed excitedly.

"That's good, I'm counting on you." Chen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard it was a singing competition. It would have been troublesome if it were a love song duet, which he couldn't do.

"????"

Zhang Jianjian froze upon hearing this, blinked, and looked at Chen Yuan in astonishment, saying, "What are you talking about? Of course, it's up to you!"

Others were equally surprised, including Lin Wanxing.

"No...no, I'm going to sing?" Chen Yuan realized that Zhang Jianjian was sending him to perform!

"If you don't sing, am I supposed to sing? I'm an actor, and you're a music creator. Isn't it normal that you sing better than me?" Zhang Jianjian asked, puzzled.

"No, I'm a music composer," Chen Yuan argued, then suddenly froze, "Ah, right, I'm a music composer."

He was dumbfounded. He was a music creator, that was true, but he had no memory of music at all. How could he sing it?

"That's right, it's yours now, my giant lobster!" Zhang Jianjian smiled, his eyes crinkling, and stood next to the giant lobster.

In the other two groups, Meng Shuran also drew a singing task, while Xu Zhiyi drew a love song duet. At this moment, she was discussing with Ji Chengyu whether it would be okay to have some desserts later.

"Alright, now please prepare your talent performances in the order drawn. If you need any other instruments or accompaniment, our staff will help arrange it," the butler said.

The live stream has now been reorganized into a single screen. On the first day of the live stream, Saturday night, the number of viewers has already reached over ten million, making it a phenomenal variety show.

The screen was filled with a dense barrage of comments, with tens of millions of viewers waiting for the guests' talent performances and campaigning for their favorite guests in advance.

Lin Wanxing and Jiang Yichen, as the first guests to take the stage, were much calmer at this moment. Although they were somewhat surprised, dancing was not difficult for the two of them.

After all, it's only natural for a singer to be able to dance.

The problem is that the duet is a bit difficult.

The lights were now focused on the stage, and everyone found a seat and waited for Lin Wanxing and Jiang Yichen to perform.

Although everyone felt flustered and nervous at the moment, their eyes remained fixed on the two people on the stage.

Chen Yuan scratched his head, his mind racing, but he couldn't think of any songs he remembered. As a songwriter, he would probably be laughed at by the whole internet if he couldn't sing.

At this moment, he also had an additional "Loser" mission card in his hand.
