Chapter 762: 761. Are you polite?

"I’m going? How come there’s this part too?"

"What’s going on, there’s even footage of staff being tied up by the other side???"

"Although the footage is still a bit blurry, it’s indeed real!"

"Ahhhh I got it! It must be that the overseas program team placed more cameras around than us!!!"

"They do have more experience in adventure filming, a fact we have to admit."

"From a filming perspective, these camera positions are really tricky, no wonder even the mercenaries didn’t notice them."

"emmmmm, so you’re saying, what we’re watching now are the ones that slipped through the net?"

"I guess the cameras we placed got swept away by them, so they didn’t capture anything."

"Brothers and sisters, are you focusing on the wrong thing? Shouldn’t we be shocked by the reality of the situation?!"

"Damn!"

In the footage, night quickly fell, and after everyone rested, the video switched back to the beach part, where a thin figure appeared, waiting for the right moment to approach the unguarded tent.

About two minutes passed, and that thin figure reappeared in front of the camera, until it gradually disappeared in another direction.

"Damn damn damn, I finally pieced together the earlier events!"

"That’s Tang Shu, right, is it Tang Shu?!"

"Right, she picked up something in her hand, the two cell phones she handed over to Yin Dong and his group!"

"I knew there was something last night I couldn’t make sense of, so that was it!"

"Director Lin’s go-to editor, you deceive me! Don’t you want your little chicken leg anymore, huh?!"

"So thrilling, so this is the correct way to watch ’Journey Together’, combining both versions?!"

Inside Cloudscape Group, Lin Chuan clicked his tongue when he first saw this scene.

"I knew they had something up their sleeve, we agreed to share resources..."

And yet you went behind our backs to install extra hidden cameras?

That’s not playing fair!

After that, the audience found the fight scenes even more exciting!

Whether it was Andre’s duo or Tang Shu and Yin Dong, they all fully displayed their own strengths, especially in the part where they retreated through the night rainforest, which had everyone gripping their hearts.

"Ahhh— how can it be so exciting?!"

"Tang Shu is almost flying, is that even human speed?"

"Newton’s coffin lid can’t hold it down, miss, pull back a bit! This isn’t in line with the laws of physics!"

"Such incredible jumping ability! Miss, could you be a martial arts expert?"

"I heard her fans say before that the miss is skilled, but I thought it was just for show..."

"I never imagined that not only was it not an exaggeration, it was an understatement!"

"I’m totally flabbergasted!"

The audience went wild!

They came to verify the authenticity, but they never expected that the overseas version would be wilder than the domestic one!

"Boohoo, now I understand why the domestic version has so few of the later shots, probably afraid they wouldn’t pass the review, right?"

"They obviously didn’t have the footage, duh!"

"The two versions focus on different things, makes me have to combine them to watch—"

"Director Lin, shouldn’t your team consider getting some new filming equipment?"

"Sincerely suggest that all cameraman bros should step up their training!"

"As a loyal viewer, I don’t want to see such blurry footage ever again, camera bros, let’s get moving!"

"Thank goodness I watched the overseas version, or else I would have missed out big time!"

Are you guys being polite?

***

On the third day after "Journey Together" aired, the internet was inundated with news—a whole day later than the last episode!

[Ten Guests Encounter Criminals!]

[Tang Shu Successfully Promotes Traditional Chinese Medicine with a Piece of Bark]

[Tang Shu’s Skills]

[Thrilling Moment! Is This a Variety Show or a Large-scale Escape Reality Show?]

...

When a whopping 8-point increase in ratings was revealed, the online video platform also saw a surge in views, doubling the figures from the first episode.

Following this were towering skyscrapers of comments, stretching endlessly at first glance.

The adventure program "Journey Together" was thoroughly ablaze with popularity.

Just two episodes in and it had already achieved unrivaled ratings.

As Shen Yan’s congratulatory call came through, Tang Shu was seated backstage at Lotus Drama Society, applying makeup to herself.

"Boss ahhhh—your Weibo is about to explode, successfully surpassing forty million followers!"

The volume of the voice was so great, even the composed Tang Shu couldn’t help but shiver a little in her fingers.

Darn, it seems the eyebrows are a bit off.

With it being her first time applying her own makeup, Tang Shu picked up a makeup remover wipe to erase the excess and continued burying her head in learning.

"Got it."

"You’re being way too calm about this, Boss. Sister Luo and Brother Li are ecstatic, saying they want to treat everyone to dinner tonight to celebrate!"

"Then... should I pick up the tab?"

"You bet! Waiting for your words hhhhhh~~~~"

"..."

Tang Shu glanced at her eyebrows in the mirror, not too heavy nor too light, and muttered solemnly, "Is the video editing done?"

"...beep beep—"

Hey?

This kid really just hung up on me?

Tang Shu stared at her phone, blinking once, then again, and after confirming she neither saw nor heard wrong, she deeply reflected.

"Have I been too nice lately?"

So much so that she now seemed to have lost all the authority of a boss, sigh—

Tang Shu profoundly felt that since arriving in modern times, her life had become more and more comfortable, and her temperament ever more mild.

"Xiao Shu, have you finished your makeup? It’s time to go on stage."

"Okay, Teacher Ke."

Tang Shu put down the eyebrow pencil, picked up a book from the table, and stood up, only to see a gracefully poised student from the Republic of China era reflected in the opposite mirror.

With refined facial features and a pure aura, she radiated an intense scholarly presence.

Five minutes later, as the stage curtains slowly drew back, a continuous, live drama began unfolding.

It was a story set in the Republic of China era, depicting a highly learned teacher leading their students to use language in defending the nation’s sovereignty amidst the tense atmosphere of the times.

It was also Tang Shu’s first performance in a play, with over three hundred audience members filling the seats below, the first three rows on the far right occupied by members of the Lotus Drama Society.

Xiao Huan couldn’t help but start applauding, "It’s starting, it’s starting, this is Tang Shu’s first time on stage, wonder how she’ll do?"

Beside her, Tong Tong was still clad in a striking cheongsam, although this time her hairstyle had changed, no longer the Republic of China era permanent wave.

"What are you excited about? You’re not the one going on stage."

"Of course, I’m excited. You have no idea how popular Tang Shu has been lately. I stayed up last night to finish ’Journey Together,’ and I’m so fond of her now—yiyiyi~~~"

"Speak properly."

Tong Tong chided quietly, "You’re a stage actor. Shouldn’t you focus on honing your acting skills instead of wasting time on variety shows?"
