Chapter 827

It was pointless to be envious of someone, for Ning Ran still had to perform.

Singing? Not my forte. Dancing? It can't even be counted as my weakness.

She had learned to dance when she was younger, but it had been such a long time.

Although she had received dancing lessons before, she dared not dance in front of others now for fear of getting

laughed at.

What was most terrifying was that this show would be aired in the most popular time slot.

She knew she couldn't dance after seeing Chen Gui's magnificent performance. Otherwise, she would only

embarrass herself.

Ning Ran didn't know what to do.

However, she had to face it no matter what, as it was her job as a celebrity.

“It's your turn now, Ms. Ding,” the director reminded.

“I—” Ning Ran panicked.

She was not prepared. The sudden request gave her a headache.

“I don't have any talent to showcase. Can you spare me?” Ning Ran smiled bitterly.

“Of course not. You have to perform. You can do anything you want. If you have no idea what performance to put

on, you can do a backflip,” the director said jokingly.

“I can't do a backflip. I'm too old for it.” Ning Ran laughed.

“You're still young and pretty, Ms. Ding. You're not old at all,” Shi Jie commented.

Ning Ran gave a bitter chuckle. I'm not old compared to Ye Meng, but I'm definitely older than a kid like you.

“Ms. Ding, if you don't mind, why don't we sing together?” Shi Jie proposed a duet.

Ning Ran was stunned by his suggestion. This kid wants to sing with me? But we're from different generations. I'm

sure we don't listen to the same songs. How can we do a duet?

“I can't sing.” Ning Ran chuckled awkwardly.

“It can't be. You have a beautiful voice, Ms. Ding. I'm sure you can sing. Don't worry. We can perform a simple song.

Do you have anything in mind, Ms. Ding? I can go along with any song.” Shi Jie sounded excited.

“Great! A duet from Shi and Ding Mi. It will be fantastic.” The director couldn't wait to see it.

“I can only sing old songs. I don't know what kids these days listen to.”

Shi Jie was so eager to collaborate with Ning Ran that it made her feel bad about rejecting his suggestion. However,

she was afraid of ruining the performance at the same time.

It was risky for Ning Ran to perform a duet with a famous star like Shi Jie. If she ruined their performance, she

would be cursed by his fans, for sure.

Netizens might accuse her of riding on the coattails of a young idol.

Furthermore, Shi Jie had a younger group of fans. Younger people tend to be simple-minded. They either love or

hate something.

If things went well, Ning Ran would be applauded and receive compliments. She could even gain new fans of her

own. However, if things went the opposite way, the passionate young fans might attack Ning Ran with no mercy.

Before this, Ning Ran had received massive hate from Zheng Lunlun's fans. Thinking back, she still had a lingering

fear in her heart. She swore she wouldn't do anything to provoke younger fans again.

However, Shi Jie suggested singing together first then. If Ning Ran did not cooperate, she would still get cursed at

after the show was broadcasted.

His fans might criticize her for turning down his suggestion for them to work together and call her shameless.

Ning Ran was at a loss.

Since she could not avoid it, she decided to bite the bullet.

“Okay, but I only know songs that are old and outdated. Also, I can't sing well since I'm not a professional singer like

you. Don't blame me if I become a burden to you!” Ning Ran made herself clear.

“No problem, but no music is outdated. Only classics can stand the test of time. So, what song do you know, Ms.

Ding?” Shi Jie asked happily.

Ning Ran pondered for a while about the song selection. She was not professional at singing, so she couldn't choose

songs that were too difficult to perform. Otherwise, she would only embarrass herself.

The only choice left was to find a song that was somewhat easier to sing yet popular.

Generally, songs with higher popularity would have different versions and have already been covered by many

younger singers, so the piece would not appear too dated.

An English song suddenly popped into her mind. When translated, it was called Beyond Heaven.

“Do you know the song Beyond Heaven?” Ning Ran asked.

“Yes, it's a classic English song. I've performed it before.” Shi Jie beamed.

“All right, let's perform this song together.”

After deciding on a note, the two started to sing.

Since Ning Ran was not a professional singer, she had no vocal techniques or singing skills. Her only strength was

that she had spent a few years abroad, so she had high fluency in English, and her pronunciation was accurate.

After they finished performing the song, she found they did surprisingly well.

Ning Ran also realized what Ye Meng said was true. Although Shi Jie was a famous up-and-coming star, his singing

was average. His biggest strength was his attractive look.

At last, this section is over. Ning Ran breathed out a sigh of relief.

Next, it was Ye Meng's turn. After she saw that Shi Jie and Ning Ran worked well together, she asked Shi Jie to

collaborate with her on a song as well.

However, Shi Jie rejected her, saying he had overused his voice earlier while coordinating with Ning Ran's high note.

Since he had a concert next month, he couldn't overexert his voice anymore and refused to sing with her.

In other words, he wasn't willing to perform with Ye Meng.

Ye Meng had made this request mainly because she thought she had a higher status in the industry than Ning Ran

and was more popular than Ning Ran. She felt that Shi Jie wouldn't reject her since he had even invited Ning Ran for

a duet.

However, she was wrong. Ning Ran was pretty, so Shi Jie preferred to work with the beautiful Ding Mi instead of the

old female superstar, Ye Meng.

The atmosphere was so awkward that even Ning Ran felt bad for Ye Meng.

With no other choice, Ye Meng performed by herself. In order not to lose out, she also sang a song. She sang well,

even better than Ning Ran.

However, when it came to the stage outcome, it was naturally not as good as the duet performance of Ning Ran

and the young idol.

Ye Meng's past grievances with Ning Ran had almost been resolved, but with the incident with Shi Jie today, she felt

jealous of Ning Ran again.

Although Ye Meng knew this had nothing to do with Ning Ran, she still blamed the latter for Shi Jie's rejection.

Because of this, she secretly swore in her heart that she would beat Ning Ran in the next match.

If possible, she wanted Ning Ran to be humiliated and feel awkward like she did now to call it even.

Right then, the first mission was given by the director team. The two production teams would move separately.

They had to find a well-known paper-cutting master in the ancient town where they filmed to learn the master's

skills and cut out the words “Run, Celebrity” to complete the task.

Like other reality shows, the team that took lesser time to complete the task would win, and the group that lost

would be punished.

The director team did not mention what the punishment was and only told them that it would be a severe

punishment.

Everyone became nervous when they heard that.
