NOVPUBChapter 1099: 506 Backstab_1 Chapter 1099: 506 Backstab_1 “Spring Outing” is a reality TV show produced by the Fruit Channel, which focuses on a combination of celebrities and ordinary people traveling together.
Ever since the first season aired, it has been a hit all over the streets, and there are plenty of celebrities in the entertainment circle vying to participate now that the second season is about to start filming.
Firstly, it’s a fast way to make money.
High earnings can be made from a single trip, which is much easier than busting one’s effort shooting dramas and movies.
Secondly, the show is a hot topic.
The chemistry between the three men and three women can cause a massive fan frenzy with just a look or a word.
The first season even spawned a new discipline, colloquially known as “Spring Studies.”
Thirdly, the reality show is quite relatable, making it especially appealing to celebrities who want to build up their public persona.
...
However, with the success of the first season setting a high standard, the second season will certainly test the innovation of the production team.
Starting with the selection of the cast, the production team held a three-day marathon meeting at the beginning of the year.
There was initially a guest that everyone had some doubts about, but after the Spring Festival Gala aired and work resumed on the third day of the new year, all doubts vanished.
Everyone was praising the director for his casting choices.
“We have already confirmed four guests.
What’s your plan for the last two guests, Director?
The official recording will start in half a month.”
The Director cleared his throat, took a sip of water from his teacup to moisten his throat, and said, “The last two guests will be one celebrity and one ordinary person.
I’m trying my best to get the celebrity I want.
If he agrees, our show will definitely be a hit this year.”
Everyone looked at each other, “Is it someone of Anton Cook’s caliber?
He never does reality shows.
If we can invite him, that would be great.”
We won’t have to worry about the popularity of our show, and the key is, more than half of the staff present are fans of Anton Cook.
To be able to see their idol in daily life through work is almost beyond their wildest dreams.
The director replied with a mysterious smile, “I’ve made a promise to the Station Leader that I’ll retire and become a granddad if this season doesn’t surpass the first one.”
The announcement startled everyone in the room.
At that moment, the director’s mobile phone rang and the punk music theme song from the first season started to play, startling everyone.
Seeing the call, the director straightened himself up, got his mobile phone and walked towards the balcony.
Once he left, everyone started to discuss amongst themselves.
“I feel like the director is going to mess this up.
That’s Anton Cook, alright.
If the director can really get him, I would become a vegetarian for a month.”
“I think you’ll be a monk for a month.
There’s a good chance Director can get Anton Cook, since he’s been pulling every string he can.
Watching my idol on Spring Outing would be the happiest thing ever.”
“Everyone, don’t forget the most important factor: the power of love.”
Everyone smiled as a look of realization came over their faces.
The director walked back in after ending the call, grinning from ear to ear.
“I have good news for everyone: Anton Cook has agreed to our invitation.”
As the director’s words echoed, the room fell silent.
After a whole ten seconds, screams of joy erupted, led by a group of female staff.
It was so loud it sounded like waves crashing.
“Director, you’re amazing!
You actually managed to invite Anton Cook.
Our show is bound to be a hit.”
“Director, I’m requesting to work for 24 hours straight…”
“Director, you’ve worked so hard.
Look, I think I understand Anton Cook the best.
Can I be assigned to his group?
I’ll work hard to make sure Sullivan feels our sincerity…”
“Director, I also want to be part of Anton’s group.
You can’t favour one over the other.”
A group of female staff members babbled around him, and the director felt as if his head was about to explode.
“Stop…
stop…
Due to the unavailability of one of our guests, we’ll postpone the filming by a week.
That should give everyone enough time to prepare.
We all have our parts, let’s strive to make this season even better.”
Everyone realized that the delay might be due to Anton Cook, but no one complained.
That Anton Cook, with his popularity and status, agreeing to be on our show is already nothing short of a miracle.
What more could we ask for?
At that moment, someone asked, “Director, what about the last ordinary guest spot.
Has that been decided?”
The director gave a mysterious smile, “That’s a secret.”

When Bria Alvarez pushed open the door of the private room, she saw the woman sitting inside and thought she had entered the wrong room.
“Mr.
Alvarez, it was I who invited you.” The woman set down her teacup, stood up and said with a smile.
“Madam Dankworth, what is this about …?”
