Chapter 778: Scandal Queen vs. The White Lotus Actor 49

Afterward, everyone played rock-paper-scissors to choose their groups.

In the end, Wan Jie, the middle-aged actor, one of the traffic actresses, and the female singer were placed in one group. The remaining relatively popular male singer, the other traffic actress, and a female model were placed in the other group.

After dividing into groups, everyone got moving.

Since Wan Jie's group had a middle-aged actor, he couldn't just come out and declare himself the group leader. So, along with the other two women, he chose the middle-aged actor as their leader.

As for Shang Baitong's group, they naturally and unanimously chose Shang Baitong as their leader.

Shang Baitong didn't decline.

After all, in one of the dramas he had filmed, the male lead had once been a professional kayaker. At the time, in order to better understand the role, Shang Baitong had specifically gone to learn kayaking himself. So now, leading everyone across to the other side in kayaks was quite easy for him.

Soon, he led everyone into the kayaks and skillfully directed them as they paddled toward the deserted island opposite.

……

Meanwhile, Wan Jie and the others had a completely different experience. After getting into their kayaks, they began spinning around in circles on the water.

It wasn't until Tang Wan's group was almost at the island that Wan Jie and the others finally figured out the trick.

But by then, Wan Jie and the middle-aged actor had already exhausted a considerable amount of their strength. As for the two female guests, they couldn't exert much force at all and could only shout from the side. Thus, throughout the entire journey, the group could only rely on Wan Jie and the middle-aged actor to do the hard work.

By the time the two men finally paddled the kayak to the shore of the island, they were already ravenously hungry, and the sun had climbed high into the sky.

At this moment, the traffic actress sweetly said to Wan Jie and the middle-aged actor, "Brother Jie, Brother Zhang, you've worked so hard."

Hearing this, the female singer glanced at her and also offered the two men a few words of concern.

What could Wan Jie and the middle-aged actor say?

There were cameras everywhere here. Could they really lose their tempers in front of everyone and say that the women had been dragging them down?

For a moment, the two could only say that it was nothing.

At this moment, the traffic actress rubbed her stomach. "I didn't eat breakfast because I was trying to lose weight. I'm so hungry now."

Hearing this, Wan Jie cursed her as an idiot in his heart.

Who comes to participate in a show like this without eating their fill beforehand? Did she really think the production crew was running a charity and would prepare plenty of delicious food and drinks for them?

But for the sake of presenting himself well, he said gently, "Then let's find somewhere to rest for a while and have something to eat. It's so sunny out here. It'd be terrible if someone got heatstroke."

As he spoke, he didn't forget to look at the middle-aged actor. "What do you think, Brother Zhang?"

The middle-aged actor had also expended quite a bit of energy, so he immediately nodded.

……

Over on Shang Baitong's side, things were much more comfortable.

In the past, Shang Baitong had often spent long periods in remote mountains and forests while filming. Although the conditions provided by the production crew had been better than what they had now and he hadn't had to worry about going hungry, things had never been particularly convenient either.

So when it came to wilderness survival, Shang Baitong really wasn't afraid.

As soon as they arrived on the island, he had everyone split up to survey the terrain, then quickly found a suitable place to set up their tents.

Thus, while Wan Jie and the others were still miserably wondering how they were going to survive seven days, Shang Baitong's group had already set up their tents and begun looking for coconuts on the island and figuring out how to collect dew for drinking the next day.

Seeing this, inside a bamboo hut hidden on the island, the director said gloomily, "Does Shang Baitong think he came here on vacation? If this keeps up, where are we supposed to get any exciting footage?"
