Please Like Her 11 – It’s hard to distinguish between what’s real and what’s fake
The truth is then announced.
The camera is pointed at Shang Lu’s cameraman.
The man has fair skin, especially attractive eyes, which greatly enhance his otherwise ordinary features.
The cameraman feels very uncomfortable with the camera focusing on his face, but he still points to his head and says, “Shang Lu’s wig is here.”
“What a joke?” Ye Lu directly denies it and waves his hand, saying, “Impossible, I’ve worn this wig before, and it definitely doesn’t look like this!”
Then, Shang Lu, under Ye Lu’s skeptical gaze, takes off the wig on her cameraman’s head. His semi-long hair is exposed again, covering his delicate features.
Everyone: “!!!”
[How did this handsome guy turn into an ordinary person in a second? Is this magic?]
[His hair is too long; covering the most advantageous part of his features. If he reveals his forehead like Shang Lu’s wig, he would look much better.]
[Shang Lu, please, give your wig to the photographer.]
But there are also those who are puzzled.
[But I think Ye Lu is right; how is this wig different from the previous one?]
[Did you all forget that Shang Lu took out a pair of scissors earlier?]
Ye Lu also picks up the wig and puts it back on his head, and indeed, it fits much better than before.
Upon learning that this wig was trimmed by Shang Lu, everyone is quite surprised.
An Qing says, “Shang Lu, are you a runaway Tony1 in the entertainment industry? Your hobby?”
An Qing’s words are half joking and half mocking. A female celebrity with such skills? To be honest, it’s quite unrelated and mismatched. She probably studied these things to be involved in the team’s styling design. Instead of doing that, she could have read a couple more pages of the script.
An Qing doesn’t know much about Shang Lu, after all, TV dramas and movies are two completely different circles. His impression of Shang Lu is still stuck with the label of her bad acting from before.
Although he heard recently that her reputation seems to have improved slightly, but celebrities, no matter how bad their acting is, will eventually invest money in marketing to show ‘progress,’ and he doesn’t really believe it.
Shang Lu can hear the sarcasm in An Qing’s words, but she has never been too concerned about the soft knives in the words of irrelevant people, as they won’t have any substantial impact on her. She replies, “In the first two years of my debut, I played many small roles, so I learned a lot along the way.”
“Oh?” Cen Yan also became curious and asked, “Xiao Lu, have you ever played a barber role?”
“Yes,” Shang Lu smiled mischievously, holding scissors and said, “Teacher Cen Yan, I can even cut your current bangs for you, free of charge.”
Cen Yan was amused by Shang Lu and had a good impression of her, thinking she was a cute girl.
Fans exclaimed one after another.
[I hope Lulu will cut my hair too! I’ve decided! I’ll bring scissors to her next time she finishes work!]
[Hahaha, if Lu Lu personally cuts my hair, I won’t want to change my hairstyle for the rest of my life!]
[Wuwuwu, my cute baby, she gets so involved in every role, Mom loves you!]
An Qing’s expression changed from his usual indifference to a slight surprise. He didn’t expect Shang Lu to go out of her way to learn about such a minor character. This was somewhat different from his perception.
Song Zeqian’s gaze fell on An Qing, and he smirked without saying a word.
He knew very well what An Qing was thinking right now because… he had been through the same process.
Finally, because Shang Lu’s hidden wig wasn’t discovered, according to the rules, finding one gift added one point, and successfully concealing one’s gift without being discovered added five points. Even under Ou Yi’s extraordinary luck, Shang Lu still managed to tie with him.
[Ou Yi has a bit of luck on his side, and Shang Lu has some skill.]
[Today, it’s the little barber Lulu!]
Ou Yi gained points, but he also had some misfortune.
According to the show’s rules, the guests ‘claimed’ the gifts they found, so all the six items had to be carried by him and Xu Ze today.
Ou Yi held onto four gifts and fell into silence, suddenly regretting winning so decisively.
Xu Ze held one gift in each hand and didn’t react much.
[Ou Yi doesn’t seem very happy right now.]
[He won, but it seems like he didn’t win.]
[Right now, the happiest one seems to be Lin Yanyan. Her group has nothing to carry, hahaha.]
The next segment was crucial, as it was to determine who the real and fake friends were.
Each group had to take turns accepting the challenges. Two people had to answer ten questions posed by the show’s team together. Each matching answer earned them one point, while different answers deducted one point.
Except for Shang Lu and Xu Ze’s group, all the other groups had only one or two points, meaning they could go into negative points if they lost.
This round was also the key to victory, as the top three teams in points after this round could verify the identities of two, one, and one group respectively with the show’s team.
In other words, the first-place contestant, excluding themselves, can eliminate two more suspected options.
And this verification result is known only within each group and cannot be shared with other guests under any circumstances.
The six pairs of guests sit in pairs on special chairs prepared by the production team, and each group takes turns answering questions.
If their answers are the same, there will be flower petals to celebrate, but if they are different, flour will be sprayed on the guests’ faces.
And before the recording ends this afternoon, no one is allowed to wash their faces.
Everyone : “…”
[I don’t believe any group can answer all ten questions correctly!]
[The production team is intentionally trying to make everyone look silly, it’s unethical, but I love watching it.]
Only Ou Yi lowered his head and took out a mask from the pile of gifts he had set aside. “Can I wear this?”
Yan Yu : “…”
That seems to be his gift from Ye Lu, right? 🙂
Of course, in this Xiao Taoyan show, there is no way to continuously wear a mask to avoid punishment. For every wrong answer, the production team will take back a prop, equivalent to deducting one point.
So, at the beginning, after answering the first question, Ou Yi lost the mask he used to cover his face.
Nonsense! How could he possibly know Xu Ze’s birthday!
And the other groups didn’t fare any better because they really didn’t know each other.
[This is the Xiao Taoyan show! I announce that the program team has finally reclaimed a point in the ninth episode! (Applause for the director’s team, tears included)]
[No one can escape this time! After all, they’re all fakes.]
It was finally Shang Lu and Tang Qingqing’s turn.
The first question from the production team was, “What is the name of the first movie that Shang Lu starred in?”
Both of them answered simultaneously, “<Ask Sword Decision>!”
Production team : “?”
Production team : “The answer… is correct.”
Flower petals soared from the sides of the chairs, showering Shang Lu and Tang Qingqing.
