The director group did not expect Nan XiangWan to remember the whole process of painting symbols. She dipped the brush in cinnabar powder and outlined a complete symbol on the blank symbol, stroke by stroke!
Hua Yuanwu: "..."
This show can't be done!
After painting the symbol, they found the seal mechanism again. In fact, the clue was very obvious, it was the wooden doll key from the beginning.
Fortunately, Gu Beihuai felt it would still be useful later, so he brought it along.
So the remaining step was to paste the symbol on the doll's forehead.
The moment it was pasted on, the ghost in the mirror was sealed, and the exit appeared.
Guan Liangzhe and Lan Tianyou heaved a big sigh of relief as they walked out. When the two saw the program crew again, they were extremely excited.
Yun Qian and Zhou Wenxia also had a lot of fun. Recording two consecutive episodes made them admire the various high-tech aspects of the show.
When the live channel closed, the audience was still reluctant to leave.
Hua Yuanwu walked up and applauded, "The last episode to wrap things up! Come on, let's record a vlog together!"
Nan XiangWan: "It's over after five episodes?"
The variety show next door has 12 episodes!
Hua Yuanwu gave her a meaningful smile, "It's over for you, not for the show."
Nan XiangWan: "???"
Hua Yuanwu looked around again: "Guan Liangzhe and Lan Tianyou have new variety shows to take up, you two will be busy for the whole August."
Guan Liangzhe panicked: "Ah? A new show? Am I also kicked out of the regular guest lineup?"
He had just gained a lot of popularity through this show, and now it was ending like this, he felt very sad.
Lan Tianyou faced reality: "I can do anything, anyway I have to shoot movies on normal days."
Gu Beihuai: "You two have new variety shows to take up, but this show will continue to record, only Nan XiangWan and I are withdrawing from the regular guest lineup."
Guan Liangzhe was revived with full blood: "Since Boss Gu has spoken, I'll look forward to it!"
Lan Tianyou: "As long as I don't leave Guan Ge, we'll be fine. But what do we do without you two?"
Gu Beihuai: "We’ll occasionally come by as special flying guests. The rest is up to you two, lead the team well."
Guan Liangzhe: "Wow! I'm actually going to start leading the team now?!"
Lan Tianyou poured cold water on him: "Guan Ge, wake up, we're the useless group!"
Since it was the last episode for Nan XiangWan and Gu Beihuai, and the regular guest lineup was changing, a joint vlog was recorded with the four after everyone finished their individual vlogs.
The four sat in a row, with Nan XiangWan and Gu Beihuai in the middle and Guan Liangzhe and Lan Tianyou on either side.
As the staff prepared the questions, Guan Liangzhe and Lan Tianyou kept talking to each other over the two people in between them, craning their necks.
Nan XiangWan really couldn't stand watching anymore, so she got up, "Come on, I’ll let you two have my seat."
Guan Liangzhe quickly waved his hand, "No no, don't."
Lan Tianyou: "Done talking, all done."
At this time, the staff had also finished preparing the questions and started recording.
Q: "This question was randomly selected from fan comments. Why does Brother Zhang always slap himself in the face?"
Lan Tianyou: “Who’s Brother Zhang?”
Guan Liangzhe beside him twitched his mouth, "Me."
He thought for a while and answered, "First of all I have to refute, I did not slap myself in the face at all. I call that improvising!"
Lan Tianyou immediately applauded beside him, "As expected of a host, Guan Ge answered so well!"
Guan Liangzhe laughed along, "Just so-so."
Q: "A fan asks Lan Jinli, have you ever thought of relying on luck to solve some life or career issues?"
Lan Tianyou scratched his head, "To be honest, getting into showbiz itself was out of luck, hahaha! Back then I entered a singing competition, I originally had no chance of any exposure. Who would have thought I mistakenly entered the wrong studio and walked into a movie audition..."
Guan Liangzhe: "The movie you won Best Actor for, right?"
Lan Tianyou was a little embarrassed, "Yes, that one."
Guan Liangzhe: "Amazing!"
Q: "The next question is for Nan XiangWan. Will you continue your entertainment career after starting college? Do you need military training?"
Nan XiangWan thought for a while and said, "Probably? Not too sure, depends on the situation."
Q: "Will it affect your musical development?"
Nan XiangWan was puzzled, "Shouldn't you be asking if it would affect my studies?"
Q: "...Will it affect your studies?"
Nan XiangWan: "It won't!"
Q: "Alright, next one for Boss Gu. As the CEO of North-South Entertainment, why haven't you gotten any sponsors for the show until now?"
Gu Beihuai: "We have them now, three sponsors. A lot of tech equipment was invested in this show, so it didn’t make money at first. But now with the change in regular guest lineup, sponsorship deals have been negotiated."
After speaking, his eyes flashed a hint of shrewdness.
Not profitable?
That was just something he said for others to hear. In fact, just the viewership of this show itself earned both companies a windfall.
There were two main reasons for the withdrawal of the two regular guests:
First, Gu Beihuai and Nan XiangWan’s endorsement fees were too high. Sponsors were willing to sponsor the entire show, but having both of them read ad lines together was simply impossible – that required a whole different price tag!
Second, countless artists now wanted to guest on the show and were fighting tooth and nail for even a minor flying guest spot.
True meteoric rise to fame!
The money from the three sponsors had already been paid. Starting next episode, there would be embedded product placements in the show.
In addition, due to the immense popularity of the show, investment firms were now providing venues and scripts for free.
So not only was the initial investment not running at a loss, from now on it would be multiplying by leaps and bounds!
As a heavenly king, Gu Beihuai naturally no longer needed to run alongside things in person. He still wanted his career focus to be mainly on music.
As for Nan XiangWan, she simply didn’t have the time. Half the summer break had already passed and she was working every day...
The filming of the movie Stellar Sky was about to wrap and enter post-production, but there was still a lot going on in Nan XiangWan’s personal career. Her schedule for the entire month of August was crammed to the brim, completely overwhelming, so her agent Orange Xue made the decision that she could no longer continue recording for the show.
Whenever Nan XiangWan had time in the future she could always return to guest on the Mystery Room if she wanted, since HuaWan Entertainment had invested in it and there would be nonstop weekly recordings.
After recording the joint vlog, Guan Liangzhe and Lan Tianyou were the first to leave. The two wandered off with their arms around each other's shoulders. No one knew where they were headed.
Yun Qian and Zhou Wenxia were waiting by the door.
Yun Qian: "Eat breakfast together, Nan Nan?"
Nan XiangWan: "Eat!"
Zhou Wenxia: "What do you want to eat? It's already 8 o'clock."
The recording this time took a long time, mainly because the maze took up a lot of time. Then the long vlog recording afterwards, so by the time everything wrapped up it was already after 8 AM.
Nan XiangWan rubbed her stomach, "So hungry... Is there hot pot for breakfast?"
Yun Qian: "???"
Zhou Wenxia: "......"
Hot pot first thing in the morning? No way!
