Chapter 66: Huh? Nazha?

"In addition, Director Yan has set you up as the mystery guest this time. Currently, only a few people in the production team know about it. The other resident guests and the visiting guests have no idea that you are here. Therefore, please bear with staying in the hotel today. If you need anything, you can let me know directly."

Listening to the staff member's words, Zhou Le thought about his appearance fee of eight hundred thousand yuan for a single episode.

"No problem."

Although coming here this time was for shooting a single theme, according to the schedule, this theme would span two episodes in total.

Market rates were quite transparent out there.

Huang Lei received one million five hundred thousand yuan per episode, Lin Chiling two million yuan, while Wang Xun only got five hundred thousand yuan.

In comparison, his own eight hundred thousand yuan was considered a standard and fair price.

After arriving at the hotel, Zhou Le was not allowed to go out, so he first looked over the arrangements the production team had prepared for him.

The opening would feature the guests writing down their own keywords.

Originally, this segment was supposed to be done by the resident guests, with the visiting guests choosing based on those keywords. However, since all the visiting guests were female, Yan Min temporarily decided to sneak Zhou Le into the group as well.

He pulled one of the resident guests out and placed them among the visiting guests instead.

The only catch was that Zhou Le's identity and the identity of the extracted resident guest were only known to themselves.

The rest would simply follow the standard procedure.

After that, Zhou Le stayed indoors for the entire day until early the next morning.

The staff members came over with a whiteboard and several camera crews to film.

At that moment, Zhou Le was eating. Since he couldn't go out, he had ordered quite a few dishes through the staff earlier.

"Oh man, there are so many people."

Zhou Le looked at the incoming people in surprise.

There were three cameras pointed at him alone.

"Teacher Zhou, you need to write a keyword on the whiteboard that describes yourself."

Zhou Le thought about it and said, "Alright."

Then, holding the whiteboard, he pondered for a moment.

And began to write:

【Sexy African Male......】

The staff member: "???"

Before he could finish writing, Zhou Le was stopped.

"That won't do. It's best to write a two-character word."

Hearing this, Zhou Le sighed, erased the rest, and left only the word "Sexy".

As expected of the guest Director Yan was willing to bring in even if it meant rejecting Yao Chen—he was truly abstract!

The staff had naturally done their homework on the guests beforehand and knew what Zhou Le's former internet alias used to be.

Soon, Zhou Le was taken to the shooting location first and went into a room of his choice.

Meanwhile, the other guests were also writing their keywords. Luo Zhixiang wrote "Very Big", but explained it as having a big love and big dreams.

Clearly, the others didn't quite believe it.

Shortly after, they dispersed and went to choose their rooms one by one, leaving only Luo Zhixiang out.

He was the chosen guest left to stand alone.

The others chatted through the walls of their respective rooms.

Over the broadcast, Yan Min began announcing that five female guests had arrived this time. With each name called, the guests let out gasps of surprise, since female guests rarely appeared on this show.

Only Zhou Le's name was replaced with the "Mystery Guest".

Suddenly, Zhou Le caught the name Gulinazha being announced.

"?"

"When did Nazha get here too?"

Zhou Le hadn't heard any rumors about it beforehand at all.

Huang Lei: "Who is the mystery guest? Is the production team playing guessing games again?"

Huang Bo: "Who knows? Whatever, we'll see them sooner or later anyway. But I just saw a door outside with 'Sexy' written on it. Whose label did you guys change?"

Wang Xun: "I have no idea. I only changed the others, not 'Sexy'."

Zhou Le kept silent the entire time.

Until the female guests came to choose their partners.

They carried their respective signs and searched for the rooms.

Naturally, Lin Chiling chose Huang Bo since they were old friends; Wang Luodan headed straight for Huang Lei, as the two were alumni and shared a good relationship.

Zhou Le was waiting inside his room.

Knowing the production team's style, they might just leave him hanging by himself.

But now that Nazha was here...

As the door was pushed open, Nazha appeared before him without any suspense.

"Huh? Why are you here?"

Nazha looked somewhat smug. "I was invited too. But I never expected you to be the mystery guest."

As she spoke, a flash of mischief crossed her eyes, and she wore an expression of surprise whose acting skills left much to be desired.

Clearly, those words were meant for the cameras.

Zhou Le knew this wasn't the place for a lengthy chat, so he didn't say much.

However, the commotion from their side aroused Huang Lei's curiosity next door.

"Nazha, who's in there with you? Who on earth is 'Sexy'?"

"'Sexy' is the mystery guest."

"Then who is the mystery guest?"

"The mystery guest? Well, I can't say. You'll find out in a moment."

When everyone had finished choosing and walked out of their rooms, they finally understood upon seeing Zhou Le.

Lately, Zhou Le had been making waves all over the internet.

"Hahaha, so it's Teacher Zhou. I've heard so much about you." Huang Bo stepped forward to greet him first, because he had a very close relationship with Ning Hao, having achieved overnight fame with the movie *Crazy Stone*.

Especially that famous line: "The brand, Benetton."

Which practically ruined Benetton's business in one fell swoop.

A legendary debut!

That's why he naturally knew that Zhou Le had filmed a new movie supervised by Ning Hao.

"Teacher Huang, you're my idol! I've seen every single one of your movies!"

However, Huang Lei chimed in with a mischievous glint in his eye.

"Then name a few of them?"

Zhou Le: "......"

The air fell silent instantly.

Everyone burst into laughter. After letting them laugh for a moment, Zhou Le smiled and named several of Huang Bo's lesser-known art-house films.

It was obvious to everyone that Zhou Le was deliberately joking around.

Yet, through this little bit of banter, they had initially accepted Zhou Le. After all, on *Go Fighting!*, the more entertaining and uninhibited the guests were, the more fun the show became.

Huang Lei chimed in, "When you said 'Teacher Huang' just now, I thought you meant me."

Zhou Le blinked. "I *was* talking about you."

Huang Bo: "???"

"Then what about me? What am I?"

Zhou Le: "Ben..."

Before he could finish, Nazha rushed forward and clamped her hand over Zhou Le's mouth.

In the end, all they caught clearly was 【Spokesperson for Ben...】

Not that Nazha was worried about Zhou Le running his mouth, she simply wanted to shut him up.

The laughter grew even louder.

Huang Bo was naturally among them; he wouldn't get upset over something like this, and instead found Zhou Le all the more amusing.

During the transition to the next location, apart from Zhou Le and Nazha chatting along the way, the others walked deliberately slowly behind them.

"I find Zhou Le quite entertaining. Shall we prank them later? He feels like the type who can really let loose, plus, isn't he and Nazha..."

"I think that's a great idea. Let them experience the true joy of *Go Fighting!*"

"Hahaha, you guys are too wicked. I don't even want to be associated with you lot," Sun Honglei said with a hearty laugh.

"Honglei, you're not joining us?"

Sun Honglei immediately punched Huang Lei in the chest. "Look at what you're saying! Of course we have to join in."

Meanwhile, Nazha was feeling somewhat worried.

"You need to be careful. They are really wicked. I watched the previous two seasons faithfully, and now that you're the only male guest here, they're probably going to toy with you."

Zhou Le, however, was full of confidence.

"Nazha, if things feel off later, you can swap partners early. Don't drag yourself down with me."

Upon hearing this, Nazha instantly channeled her inner boss-lady aura.

"Listen to yourself! Am I the kind of person lacking in loyalty? Since we're partners, we live and die together! Who's going to prank whom isn't certain yet."
