Lin Muci's face flushed, but in the end, she quickly leaned in and kissed Ling Qianhe on the cheek.
Ling Qianhe smiled as he watched her.
"Is this enough?"
Lin Muci knew what he meant.
She took a deep breath.
Then she swiftly leaned in and imprinted a deep kiss on his lips.
Only then was he satisfied.
"Mm. Before I came over, I made a gesture to Hanks."
"He knows my choice."
"I'll choose acting, so he'll choose acting too. After all, he can't just watch me compete with the person he loves, can he? He knows our level, Vivian isn't an actor, she can't handle our explosive power."
So...
He knew all along.
Hanks was going to choose acting?
Lin Muci stared at him with wide eyes, and Ling Qianhe smiled back at her.
"We've already kissed, no backing out now."
He knew what she was thinking.
But precisely because of this.
Lin Muci felt even more angry!
...
When everyone returned to the center of the island, Yang Weiyang was clearly the most nervous.
She had drawn dancing and singing. This meant she would either compete with Ma Yingying in dancing or with Lin Muci in singing.
Speaking of which...
Compared to Ma Yingying.
Xiao Ci put even more pressure on her.
It was precisely because she was in the same group as Lin Muci that she knew how terrifyingly formidable Xiao Ci's potential was!
In the official positioning of "Times Girls."
Lin Muci was the visual, the main vocalist, and the main dancer.
It could be said that she was basically the all-around ACE.
Although the group's absolute main vocalist was Aurora, Lin Muci's tone and skills were definitely not inferior to Aurora's. The main reason she wasn't the main vocalist was that she wanted to give that position to Aurora.
But fans felt that Lin Muci's tone was actually more pleasant to listen to.
Her song parts were usually concentrated in the chorus.
Everyone said.
Her singing parts were the soul of "Times Girls."
To sing against Xiao Ci, Yang Weiyang really had no confidence.
Fei Siyu looked bewildered.
He was completely clueless about singing and dancing anyway. He would lose in either.
Yang Weiyang thought for a moment, hesitated, and finally made up her mind.
"You compete with Xiao Ci and the others. I'll go fight Ma Yingying!"
The principle of Tian Ji's horse racing.
Lower-tier horses should be pitted against top-tier horses.
Since Fei Siyu was terrible at both singing and dancing, letting him compete against Ling Qianhe or Lin Muci, while she fought Ma Yingying, there was still a slight chance of victory.
She had thought it through.
She had made the most rational decision.
Hearing her say this, Fei Siyu nodded. He was also clear-headed. Fei Siyu hesitated for a moment, then quietly asked Yang Weiyang.
"Did I drag you down?"
Yang Weiyang gave a wry smile.
What was there to drag down or not drag down—she just felt that she couldn't lose to Ma Yingying.
Losing to Xiao Ci...
Anyway, no one could win against her!
She handed a small card to the director team.
Everyone told the director team the prepared items.
Then the director announced the matchups.
"Acting Group."
"Ling Qianhe versus Hanks."
As soon as these two names were announced, it was almost a cheer from the entire audience!
The showdown between the two film emperors was a lineup that even renowned great directors like James, a top international director, would find difficult to assemble.
The thought of these two competing in acting made it obvious how thrilling and enjoyable it would be!
It was too perfect.
Even the reality show staff would be filled with excitement and enthusiasm for this matchup.
The director paused and continued.
"Next group."
"Dance Group."
"Ma Yingying versus Yang Weiyang."
Everyone's eyes lit up.
It was known that Ma Yingying had always had an opinion about "Times Girls," believing that their skills were insufficient.
And as everyone knew, the weakest member of "Times Girls" was Yang Weiyang. A competition between Yang Weiyang and Ma Yingying should be very exciting.
This was a battle for honor!
Who was the true Oriental idol!
"Sports Group."
"Li Mike versus Vivian."
As soon as this pairing was announced, there was a wave of boos.
Li Mike, a grown man, competing against international supermodel Vivian in sports?
However, Vivian, with her nearly 1.8-meter tall stature and a well-built physique maintained through years of fitness, might actually not lose to Li Mike.
Vivian smiled, then she said.
"Good luck."
Vivian was clearly quite calm.
She was on the show primarily to observe Hanks, so she wasn't very invested in these competitions.
On the contrary, Li Mike was nervous.
The last group.
Of course, it was Lin Muci and Fei Siyu.
This group was more of an atmosphere setter, because it was obvious that even if they were competing in singing, Fei Siyu couldn't compare to Lin Muci.
He was notoriously tone-deaf, famously dubbed the "God of Hellish Singing" during live broadcasts, his voice a torment to the ears.
Fortunately, since his dancing was also described as jerky,
Even if he lost to Lin Muci.
As long as Yang Weiyang won.
There was still a glimmer of hope.
With the four matchups decided, everyone gathered around, eager to watch Ling Qianhe and Hanks compete in acting.
The two men exchanged glances. Hanks shrugged and mumbled.
"I didn't expect to be acting opposite you in such a setting."
"How should we act? What should we act?"
Ling Qianhe was clearly prepared.
"Do you remember the script? I recall a scene that was scrapped by the producer, where we meet and then confess—something like that."
"I hope to see such a scene play out again. Are you ready?"
Hanks immediately reacted.
"Star Commander? Sure. Wait a moment, give me some time to get into character."
Both were award-winning actors.
The competition was naturally going to be exceptionally brilliant.
Yang Weiyang, not having to compete with Ma Yingying for now, came over and excitedly squeezed Lin Muci's arm.
"Xiao Ci?"
"How is it? What's the plot they're talking about? Do you know?"
Lin Muci hummed.
"I know."
Of course, she knew what the plot was. She leaned in and whispered a few simple explanations to Yang Weiyang about the story involving the Commander, the Tyrant, the Big Star, and the Cold Sword Immortal. Yang Weiyang listened with bright eyes and a wide-open mouth.
"Wow... is it that exciting?"
"Then Ling Qianhe is at a disadvantage, because his character arc is too large. If Hanks only needs to play the Commander, he's under more pressure."
"He has to play multiple roles."
Lin Muci wasn't worried about him.
"He's a film emperor, his acting should be very good."
"Challenges like this, for him, are probably a piece of cake."
Besides, with two film emperors competing, it was obvious that their states would only escalate, and whoever lost would face severe embarrassment.
Qianhe, being such a stubborn person.
Once he gets into character, he becomes crazy!
She just needed to wait and watch him deliver his most brilliant performance!
