Chapter 439: The Star of Variety Shows (2)
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
There was an unwritten rule in ‘National Mass Workout’ that the first floating guest to be cued would be the main guest of the episode.
As the name implies, the main guest has the most airtime. Even for A-listers, more exposure is always better. Hence, the guests would definitely vie to be the main guest for each episode.
Of course, the program team had a very high degree of freedom to decide who they wanted to designate as the main guest.
However, Sister Yan had already agreed that Xu Tumi was the main guest, so she didn’t expect it to be Xiang Yi!

All her efforts had gone in vain because she had paved the way for some loathsome person!
The few veteran artists that were invited were peace-loving and showed no intentions to vie to be the main guest. Another young hunk and highly popular web drama actress looked at each other without saying anything.
Xu Tumi… yawned in front of the cameras and everyone else.

Sister Yan was speechless.
‘You’re feeling sleepy at such a moment?’
‘How can kids your age fall asleep?!’

After the guest list was announced, Wang Yao announced the rules of this first round.
They would first draw lots and shoot ten arrows each according to their lots. The person who has the highest total score would come in first place.

“Now I declare that the National Elementary School Games begin!” Wang Yao teased while giggling.
Jokes aside, all the people present were adult artists, so they couldn’t be as obedient as elementary school students. Before the lots were drawn, the crowd was rather unruly as they were all gossiping, drinking water, studying the arrow targets, and discussing the bow and arrow.
Wang Yao exclaimed bitterly, “Everyone, please cooperate with me. If you don’t, I’ll be fired!”
In ‘National Mass Workout’, he had a humble persona, and he was known as the most uncontrollable host in the entire entertainment industry. The netizens often laughed while criticizing him. Hence, there was quite a comedic effect.

Xiang Yi was the first to draw lots.
Wang Yao asked mysteriously, “Xiang Yi, which bow did you draw? Is it a recurve bow? I think you’d definitely look really suave with a recurve bow!”
“It’s not a recurve bow, but it should be quite suave too,” Xiang Yi said confidently as if she had drawn an artifact-grade equipment.

The next second, she picked up the only pink-colored cartoon plastic bow and arrow on the scene and calmly pulled the string all the way backward.

The young girl stood straight, and her posture was proper. However, the more serious she was, the funnier it seemed.
The director who was seated behind the camera had already burst into laughter.
The fact that the contestant, whom everyone had high expectations for, had chosen a cartoon bow and arrow was hilarious in the first place.
Afterward, everyone else drew horn bows, crossbows, and other funny bows.
However, the most amazing thing was that Xu Tumi had drawn one of the most professional recurve bows in the field!
The camera caught her dumbfounded micro-expression.
Xu Tumi carefully picked up the bow, pretended to shoot an arrow, and held her chin up proudly. She then asked the person next to her, “Does my bow look good?”
“Yes.” Xiang Yi happened to be beside her so she said, “It would look even better if you hold it like this.”
She stood at the back and raised her hand to help Xu Tumi adjust the way she was holding the recurve bow. From a certain camera angle, it looked as if Xiang Yi was holding Xu Tumi in her arms…

The assistant director couldn’t help but interject, “What nonsense is Xiang Yi getting up to?! This is a scene out of an idol drama; it should be played by Jun Han and Xu Tumi!”
1
The director said, “The weather is really good today.”
1
The screenwriter said, “Drink more hot water.”

The assistant director was confused.
‘Is there something wrong with these two? Why aren’t they answering the question?’
‘I’ve been speaking so loudly. Are they deaf?!’
