When others took the microphone, there was a teleprompter on the opposite wall, and they could just read from it. When it was Su He's turn, only the words "Self-introduction" were displayed.
The host Shen Tao didn't say much; Su He's introduction would be added later in post-production.
Since the purpose was to promote the TV series "Night Walker," the show's games leaned more towards being related to the series. The first challenge was called "The Acting Showdown."
There were two teams - King's Family vs Night Walker.
The challenge also had a script, and all the plots had been rehearsed beforehand, except for a scene that Su He and Li Yifeng had to improvise.
The recording continued, but Su He had a very low presence, with the camera rarely focused on him, and even the host could hardly interact with him.
There were four scenes in total, and after performing them, the live audience would score them.
Soon, the first three scenes were finished, and it was time for Li Yifeng and Su He to take the stage.
The script included a brief introduction to the scene - Su He played a rich second-generation youth who had hit rock bottom, while Li Yifeng played an undercover cop, which was also the plot they would film later.
Li Yifeng, playing the undercover cop, revealed his true identity as a police officer and stood in front of Su He, pointing a gun at him.
Su He got into character in just three seconds, looking at Li Yifeng disdainfully and saying, "Chen Mo, don't be a coward, shoot... why don't you dare? Hahaha, don't think just because you have a gun, you can threaten me!"
Su He grabbed the gun from Li Yifeng's hand and pressed it against his chest, glaring at him angrily, "Have you forgotten? You personally sent your woman to my bed, hahaha, are you still a cop?"
"You're just my dog!"
With a fierce roar, Su He suddenly caused Li Yifeng's hand holding the gun to loosen.
The gun fell to the ground?
Offstage, Yu Qing covered his face, not expecting Li Yifeng, who had secretly practiced over ten times, to still make a mistake.
Originally, Li Yifeng was supposed to say his lines at this point, but he was now at a loss.
At this moment, Su He suddenly grabbed Li Yifeng's head and laughed wildly, "Chen Mo, I know you won't kill me, come with me, I'll give you money, women, whatever you want, I'll satisfy you!"
After saying that, Su He turned away.
Li Yifeng heard Yu Qing's voice through his earpiece: "Don't mind the gun on the ground, take out the handcuffs, cuff yourself and Su He together, and say the line: 'Hao Ge, I'm sorry, I'm a cop!'"
Li Yifeng quickly regained his composure and followed Yu Qing's instructions.
The lights dimmed, and the performance ended with thunderous applause from the audience - the acting just now was mesmerizing!
The audience didn't notice the mistake; they thought the plot was meant to be that way. Only those holding the script realized how amazing Su He's acting skills and improvisation were.
Li Yifeng excused himself to go to the restroom, and the recording was paused.
In the bathroom, Li Yifeng looked grimly at his reflection in the mirror. Once again, he was rattled by Su He's acting skills. Originally, he had practiced more than ten times, but he still ended up embarrassing himself in public.
If the director had asked them to redo it, everything would have been fine. But that damned food delivery guy actually improvised and changed the script, making him look like a fool!
The recording resumed, and after the audience scored the performances, the Night Walker team won one round.
"Yi Yi, help me out, for the next song, let me sing with Su He..." Li Yifeng debuted as a singer and idol, acting wasn't his forte, so he wanted to get back at Su He through singing.
Song Yi didn't expect Li Yifeng to make such a request. She glanced at Su He and smiled, "Sure, I was worried I wouldn't sing well!"
Li Yifeng's manager went to the director and told him about replacing Song Yi with Su He. The host then announced, "Light and darkness, there are always people shouldering the burden for us, fighting on the unknown battlefields. There is a group of people, they walk alone, safeguarding the safety of the people. Next, Li Yifeng and Su He will perform the song 'Lone Brave' for us, dedicated to all the anti-drug police officers!"
On stage, Su He looked bewildered - there was no mention of this in the script! It was written that Li Yifeng and Song Yi would sing, so why was it changed to him, and why wasn't he notified?
Everyone moved to the guest seats on the side, and Su He followed.
Huh?
Yu Qing asked in confusion, "Su He, it's your turn to sing!"
"Director, it's written here that Li Yifeng and Song Yi are singing. The host misspoke," Su He said.
Then someone came over and said, "Su He, go up and sing with Li Yifeng. Song Yi has a sore throat..."
Su He didn't move, turning to look at Yu Qing.
Seeing Su He's puzzled expression, Yu Qing advised, "Didn't you say you could sing a little? Why don't you give it a try?"
"I guess I could... but I'll need extra pay!"
"How much?"
"One thousand."
"Alright!" Yu Qing sighed; Su He's mindset was too narrow, only focused on money.
Still, Su He didn't budge. Then two options appeared before him:
"Option 1: Complete the singing performance. Reward: Advanced dancing skill"
"Option 2: Refuse to sing. Reward: Cancel advanced singing skill reward"
So he would lose the reward if he refused? Su He didn't expect the system to be so harsh; he felt like a mere puppet being arranged by the system.
But it was also really cool!
The song was very nice, having topped the charts recently. Su He could sing, and there were lyrics prompts, so he didn't need to worry about forgetting the words.
Thus, Su He went on stage and stood side by side with Li Yifeng.
"You are... all brave
Your forehead's scar... your... differences... your mistakes
You... don't need to hide
Your tattered toy..."
Li Yifeng's deep, magnetic voice gradually unfolded, entrancing the listener.
"..."
"Love you walking alone in dark alleys
Love your unyielding stance
Love you facing despair head-on
Refusing to shed a tear..."
Su He's voice rose, instantly overpowering Li Yifeng's.
"..."
"Go? Go on! With the most humble dream
Fight? Fight on! With the most lofty dream
For the whimpers and roars in the night
Who says only those in the light are heroes"
Su He was completely immersed in the lyrics, unaware of the stunned audience below. If Li Yifeng's singing voice touched the heart, then Su He's voice struck the soul!
On stage, Li Yifeng maintained his smile, but inwardly he was cursing. The script said Su He could sing a little, but this was just a little?
Fortunately, this was only the intermission performance, not a competition. If scores were involved, it would be mortifying.
After the singing, they played games again, and Su He performed averagely, while Li Yifeng was witty and won applause.
"Su He, I heard you're quite good at calligraphy..." Li Yifeng casually remarked.
"I can do a little..."

grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
