Celebrity Neighbor: My girlfriend is a big star?-Chapter 1253 - 543: When Things Favor Bae Juhyun_2
"So, I think looking for a new environment where not many people know us so that Irene and I can do things we don't usually do is quite a fresh experience."
Liu Xin'an was being half-honest.
New indeed is certainly new, but this freshness is more for him and Bae Juhyun.
As for the fans and the audience...
Liu Xin'an couldn't quite grasp the fans' mentality.
But as for the audience, even if it was just a boring daily routine or the two of them casually chatting, everyone would watch with great interest.
In terms of fan engagement, both he and Bae Juhyun are top-notch.
As for the so-called concern that fans might not buy into it...
Bae Juhyun's fan merchandise purchasing rate is solid proof, and even though his audience doesn't spend money and mainly provides companionship, they'd be more than happy to engage without having to pay.
While Liu Xin'an was scheming, Lee Yeonju exchanged a glance.
When you think about it, what Liu Xin'an is saying now is the same as what Bae Juhyun said.
It's hard to say whether these two had colluded or if it was just a matter of chemistry, but Lee Yeonju perked up.
She first nodded in acknowledgment of the idea, then revealed the final theme of this show.
"We've received your general idea, so let me now tell you the official theme of this show."
Liu Xin'an was taken aback, as this wasn't part of his and Lee Yeonju's discussion.
The official theme... an additional element?
"The theme of this show is war."
"?!"
Liu Xin'an showed a rare blank expression.
And this expression made Lee Yeonju more certain that the chemistry between Bae Juhyun and Liu Xin'an was genuine.
Because... when Bae Juhyun first heard about the theme, she had the same expression.
"War?"
"Yes, war. Mr. Liu Xin'an, you, Irene, and..." Lee Yeonju pointed at herself and then the writers beside her, displaying a triumphant smile, "our production team."
Seeing Liu Xin'an's expression indeed excited Lee Yeonju.
But before she could rejoice too long, Liu Xin'an showed a peculiar smile. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
"So... isn't it a bit lacking in challenge?"
Instantly, Lee Yeonju could clearly hear the breath of the writers around her becoming heavier.
Such face-to-face provocation was indeed sensorially stimulating.
"The war has already begun."
"Hmm, good luck."
"You're quite arrogant, Mr. Liu Xin'an."
"It's a show, after all. If you don't exaggerate a bit, how would people enjoy it?"
Liu Xin'an said with a grin, leaving Lee Yeonju speechless.
To stir things up while keeping himself out of it is a skill only seasoned streamers excel at.
You shouldn't underestimate internet celebrities compared to artists. Everyone has their strengths in different fields.
Facing the camera, facing fans, they might not be as skilled as professional artists.
But when it comes to creating buzz...
Which top streamer hasn't fought their way through tough competition?
Kidding, it's a piece of cake!
...
The challenge had been accepted, but there was still some time before the actual filming.
The planned filming schedule was to wait until the first episode of the group variety show aired. Currently, the sixth episode of Bae Juhyun's solo variety show hadn't been aired yet, and two episodes with Park Jinyoung were still pending.
There was ample time, giving Lee Yeonju and the others more time to prepare.
By the way, ever since Liu Xin'an provoked the production team, Lee Yeonju hadn't invited him to any further program planning meetings.
Clearly, it wasn't just the competitive-spirited Bae Juhyun who was fired up. The entire production team led by Lee Yeonju was just as eager to compete.
This was exactly what Liu Xin'an wanted to see. He cared most about the show's quality. Rather than just aimlessly filling time, he hoped to create high-quality videos... or variety shows.
Slacking off? He'd be the first to disagree.
But he wasn't particularly competitive; winning or losing didn't matter to him, what mattered was having fun.
So unknowingly, Liu Xin'an became the most relaxed member among the three camps.
He would stream when it was time and rest when necessary.
During this time, Bae Juhyun's personal variety show finally aired its seventh episode.
The episode featuring her uncle Park Jinyoung.
----
After Yoon'ah's episode aired, Bae Juhyun's new variety show again made it to the trending list.
This time, it wasn't because of Bae Juhyun's or Im Yoon'ah's beauty, but a topic that intrigued the domestic audience.
Chinese Language Proficiency Test.
When Bae Juhyun said on the show that she was preparing to take the HSK exam, many fans watching the program were thrilled.
And Im Yoon'ah had also taken the HSKK exam. It's something fans can be proud of when foreign artists specifically learn Chinese for their Chinese fans.
Such a matter, of course, Bae Juhyun's fans wouldn't miss the chance to praise their artist.
Yet, the buzz about learning Chinese somewhat overshadowed the mystery guest tease for the next episode.
The previous six episodes had invited guests like YUQI, Im Nayeon, Kim Dahyun, and Yoon'ah...
Quite an impressive lineup.
Once the excitement over Bae Juhyun taking the Chinese exam subsided, everyone began to speculate on who the final guest would be.
