[Comprehensive Entertainment] Reincarnation reality show

Another week has passed.

This time, the designers were taken aboard a luxury cruise ship in New York Harbor, where Tim was already waiting.

Beside him is a middle-aged blonde woman in a peacock green dress and a multi-strand pearl necklace. She is the chairman and CEO of Celebrity Cruises (one of the brands of Royal Caribbean Cruises) to which the cruise ship belongs. Lisa Lutov-Pero, that's a very Spanish surname, and I guess she's Hispanic.

"Designers." After a simple greeting and introduction, Tim got straight to the point, "As you can see, there are seven suitcases with exotic place names written on them. So, 7 suitcases, 14 designers..."

Tim prolonged the tone a little, looked at the excited or nervous expressions of the designers, and knew that they had understood, so he stopped making jokes and said cheerfully, "Yes, this is your first team challenge. "

Not only a team challenge, but also a double challenge.Compared with a multi-person group, two people are generally more troublesome.In the multi-person team competition, you can also express your voice by uniting with other people. In the double competition, either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind. Works that are low to the end.

As for what kind of result can be obtained in the end, it all depends on the teammates.The so-called "pig teammate ruins life" (Amanda's private words), not to mention that there are some small experts who make up the knife among the designers this time (still in Amanda's language XD). That's right, it's the end.

Everyone pretended to look at others casually, thinking about who they should pick as teammates when they formed a team later.

In general, pairs are sometimes designated and sometimes designated completely random.The so-called designation means that Tim randomly selects a designer, and the drawn person chooses a teammate from the rest, and then Tim continues to draw. This is designation, that is to say, the designers still have more or less choices Your own teammates; as for the completely random ones...

"Our little black bag appeared again." Tim used a brisk tone, and took out a small black bag tied with a golden knot from behind.This is "the frightening lottery bag, how many designers' careers have been ruined by it" - this is the evaluation of it by the Indian brother Swapnier, which is as sharp as ever.

"Shake it well, shake it well." The designers begged Tim with a smile—everyone hopes that they can get a strong teammate, if it is the best teammate like Chester and Lisa, Ashley will also Yes, these are people who have proven themselves, and they are usually good people, and they don’t show very bitchi behaviors—in fact, these three people helped those designers who didn’t bring toolboxes from the very beginning. In this regard, their behavior is also very secure.

But few people want to be teammates with Edmund - not that Edmund is a terrible person, no one wants to work with him - but because Edmund is the champion of the game, if he does not play well this time , he still has immunity to prevent him from being eliminated, but the rest will be miserable, and that person will bear all the consequences of his mistakes.And if you team up with other people, even if you design a bad work, at least two people can bear the consequences.This is the cognition of every sane person, and it is also the constant request in Kelly's heart-don't be with Edmund, don't be with Edmund.This girl with a touch of bohemian vibe is very smart.

In the tense eyes of the designers, Tim pulled out the first team, "Amanda, Gabriel."

The two were happy, they thought each other's design styles were similar, and then they hesitated for a moment between the south of France and the Greek island, choosing a suitcase filled with fabrics that symbolize the style of the south of France.

Then "Ashley, Candice", following the second group of teams reported by Tim, the two also came together with a smile, Candice said Venice in Ashley's ear, Ashley He readily agreed, and the two took the suitcase from Venice.

Next came Lindsay and Jack. Jack left the choice to Lindsay, who is a woman, so Lindsay chose the box representing Hong Kong, China, and Jack expressed satisfaction because he had personally been to Hong Kong several times.

Then came Laurie and Swopnier. Of course, they chose the Indian box. No one here knows India better than Swopnier. They believe that they can design good-looking fashion. Tim also smiled say their choices have raised the expectations others have of them.Swopnir nodded confidently.

Finally, it was the turn——

"Lisa." Tim took out the sign with Yili's name from the small black bag, and Yili's heart tightened suddenly - the rest were Kelly, Merlin, Edmund, Han Miao, and Xie Cheng. Of course, Yili hopes to be in the same group as Xie Cheng, but she doesn't have much hope for such a one-fifth probability.If she could, she only wished not to be with Edmund.Although the design style and aesthetics of other people may not match her, but at least two people can share the same difficulties, and Edmund's words...

"The next one is..." Tim slowly stretched his hand into the small black bag, and Yi Li's heart hung high, and then she heard Tim smile and look at Xie Cheng, saying, "Chester .”

call……

Yi Li heaved a sigh of relief, a relaxed smile finally appeared on her face, and then gave Xie Cheng a big hug as he reached out to her, "Thank good." She heard him whisper in her ear.

"Oh, it's really a strong combination." Tim said with emotion, "You two are the ones who have entered the high group twice in a row, so it is really a huge pressure for others. Do you want to draw again?" Tim made a good-natured joke.

"No." Yi Li and Xie Cheng said no at the same time, and then they looked at each other and laughed.

"Okay, okay, draw again, draw again." The others were happy to hear this, and deliberately cooperated with Tim to joke, wishing that Tim would really draw again.Yili heard someone swear softly a word that needed to be beeped off, but the voice was so soft that she couldn't recognize who it was, and it was hard to turn around at this time, she seemed too petty, so she could only frown bear with it.

"Well, since the two designers are firmly against it, then we'll follow the rules." Tim said as if two people objected to him and he would really re-draw - how is it possible?If both of them are really opposed, the program team will definitely be more happy with the combination of the two, okay?Let's fight!Come on!This is what reality TV is all about!

"Come on, tell me, which one do you choose?" Tim asked with a smile.

"How about St. Petersburg?" Yili looked at Xie Cheng, "Greece or the Caribbean is also fine." St. Petersburg is a place she has visited before, and she prefers the gentle St. Petersburgers to the aloof Muscovites. Moreover, St. Petersburg As a famous cultural city, its classical literary and artistic atmosphere also fascinated her.

"Then St. Petersburg." How could Xie Cheng say no to Yi Li on this kind of matter?Of course I strongly agree.So, the two happily took the St. Petersburg box—well, Xie Cheng took it, this is a man's demeanor.

Next, the remaining two groups of people also quickly chose their favorite places. Of course, the last group had no choice.

Kelly and Merlin chose Greece.

Edmund and Han Miao chose the Caribbean.

That's how this game is grouped.

"Okay, now that the grouping has been determined." Tim clapped his hands, "Then announce the theme of this question, you need to design a high-end day and night clothes, you can play in foreign countries during the day, and you can go back to the cruise ship to enjoy food and drinks at night." The performance can be freely switched between the two without the slightest abruptness, understand?"

"Understood." Everyone nodded.

"In the studio, we have prepared other fabrics for you. However, we still hope that you will focus on the special fabrics you got, okay?" Tim said to the designers, and after getting an affirmative answer, he He said to the female director beside him, "Next, this Lisa will take you to the ship to draw design drawings, and you can fully draw inspiration from cruise travel."

"Yes." The female director said with a smile, "I hope you are all hungry, because we have prepared a beautiful lunch for you, and you can enjoy the food while drawing."

The designers all cheered.Regardless of whether it is true or not, at least it is rare for them to be able to eat delicious food on the show (although they are not really looking forward to this). relationship, so the budgets in all aspects have been lowered, and even now they have not taken them to Mood to pick out fabrics.

Because this is a team competition, the designers in a group walked together in twos. Yili and Xie Cheng were not conspicuous among them, and they also restrained themselves in front of the camera. Make something too intimate.However, other designers have also seen the sparks between the two, but they have nothing to say about it-in the previous season of Tianqiao, there were also male and female designers (I don’t remember if there are men or women...) in front of the camera. Gave an ambiguous favor.

"I didn't go to Mood to buy fabrics for three rounds of competitions. Could it be that this season's competitions are all designated?" Yili and Xie Cheng walked to the restaurant with the female director who also named Lisa, and whispered to Xie Cheng.

"I hate this." Xie Cheng said succinctly, "I want to choose the fabric I want by myself." It feels terrible to be dismissed by the Tianqiao program group throwing two pieces of fabric at random.What he didn't say is that the texture of the fabrics provided by Tianqiao this season doesn't seem to be very good. Anyway, none of them cost more than $150 (this is the basic budget of each designer in each round of challenges in previous seasons).

"Me too." Yili also sighed, noticing that the camera moved towards them, she immediately fell silent.

Soon, the designers arrived in the restaurant in twos.

Yi Li was originally indifferent, but after seeing the macarons placed at the entrance of the restaurant, her eyes lit up immediately!She loves macarons!She can buy it at her own expense! ... No, wait, the wallet is not with me, no one will bring a wallet to record the show, so... she has no money to buy it, and her heart hurts! QQ

"What's wrong?" Keenly noticing Yili's sudden agitation and sudden depression, Xie Cheng asked in a low voice.

"Nothing." Yili waved her hand sadly, her macaron QAQ

"Macarons?" Even if Yili didn't say anything, Xie Cheng noticed where Yili's gaze stayed before.

"Hmm..." Macaron Macaron Macaron QAQ

"Hey, I know there is a restaurant where the macarons in the dessert are really good." Xie Cheng whispered.

"!" Yili's dimmed eyes immediately lit up again, "Chester!"

"We'll go eat after recording the show!" Xie Cheng looked at Yili softly, "Order two, and I'll give you all."

"Well!" Happy!Yili was immediately plucked--macarons are one of the few sweets she can't resist. She is usually very self-controlled, and she is very restrained in sweets, and she is not greedy, but the macarons here are placed The ones are so pretty, and are macaron towers!Make a tower!So Yili, who has always been calm and self-sufficient, is not calm anymore...

Taking advantage of the camera turning slightly, Xie Cheng quickly kissed Yi Li on the face.

——Girlfriend is so cute!It's his girlfriend!So happy!I'm about to faint again...

Wait, what do you mean?No, more importantly, I am recording a program now, so I must not get dizzy!hold on!

Xie Cheng quickly made [-] psychological constructions for himself before continuing to show in front of the camera with a dog-like mental outlook.

The two found a seat by the window in the restaurant and sat down—this restaurant seemed to be vacated specially for the program group, and there were no other guests except them—the other designers also sat down in twos, and everyone A short distance that is not too close and not too far is maintained, perhaps to avoid the discussion from being overheard by others.

After sitting down, Yili and Xie Cheng opened their suitcases and checked the fabrics representing St. Petersburg.There are three lavender fabrics inside, one is a light purple printed fabric, one is a purple fabric with a brocade-like luster and a small check pattern, and the other is an off-white fabric with a purple embroidery pattern.

Ellie began to wonder, who picked the fabrics?Why is St. Petersburg lavender?In her impression, it was an elegant and modern city, definitely not such a young and lovely color.Dark purple is better than lavender.By the way, she personally thinks that this kind of lavender is more suitable for Provence, France, the city famous for its lavender.

"What shall we do?" Xie Cheng asked Yili while flipping through the fabric at hand, "Do you have any ideas?"

"Well, wouldn't it be strange to make a trench coat now?" When you think of St. Petersburg, you will think of the beautiful and cold winter there.If possible, Yili would like to design a beautiful coat, but it is summer after all, and the coat is too exaggerated, so the next best thing is to make a windbreaker. "With a small dress inside, it will definitely It's modern and stylish."

After all, the requirement is to make a high-end day and night wear—the one here is not a real one, but it can be matched into a set—so you can wear a windbreaker to stroll around the streets of St. Petersburg during the day, and at night, wear it Take off the windbreaker, it is an exquisite little dress, definitely suitable for a relaxed banquet with food and performances.

"It shouldn't be a problem." Xie Cheng thought for a while, and agreed with Yili's idea, "But the windbreaker can't be made too heavy, it should be a thin one for summer. In this case, a long thin coat is actually more appropriate; Then the sleeves are best made into mid-sleeves, with a concealed button that can button the sleeves higher, it will feel more refreshing."

"Good idea!" Yili was very pleasantly surprised to hear that the other party perfected her idea so quickly, "Then, what about the skirt inside? Do you have an idea? How about making a sleeveless skirt? Or a tube top? One-piece suit?" As for the skirt she wore inside, Yili was undecided for a moment, "Or, to make pants?" As long as the handmade pants have no problem, they are always safe in the flyover, and they will be criticized only in rare cases ——That is probably only when the pants are not at all new. The judges of Tianqiao generally prefer pants, especially Nina.

"I think a lot of people will make pants this time." Xie Cheng said while playing with the pencil in his hand, "So how about we make skirts? Let's draw design drafts separately. Everyone draws two pieces, and then we can see Which side is better, even if it is not adopted, some design ideas may also be used.”

After all, we have to grab fabrics when we go back—although we’re not going to Mood, it’s just in a small corner next to the studio, but it’s bound to be very intense, so draw up the design drawings and decide which fabrics you need, and it’ll be more convenient to pick them up when the time comes. purposeful.

"Okay." Yili nodded, and she didn't object to this—wait a minute!

The waiter just came up with the pre-dinner soup. It was a creamy yellow mushroom soup, and the eyes could see the mushrooms cut into small pieces rolling gently in the soup. Float into people's hearts.

"Eat first?" Yili suggested, "We can think for a while while eating, so that we should have more ideas when drawing later." Well, she is really hungry, so she got up early in the morning and ate a little After breakfast, I took the program team's transportation vehicle from the outskirts of the city to New York Harbor, and then started recording the program, and then racked my brains to think about the design.

"Okay." Xie Cheng also agreed. In fact, he is also hungry, and Yili is definitely not the only one who is hungry now.

A little further away from them, Merlin also cheered, "My 'inspiration' has come."

Yili and Xiecheng people looked at each other, and couldn't help laughing.To be honest, as long as it's not working, listening to Merlin's lively talk is actually very interesting, but if it's busy, it will make people feel irritated.Hope Kelly and Merlin can get along - Ellie still remembers the way Kelly rolled her eyes unbearably on her first day at work...

In order to calm down and have lunch, Yili also listened to the progress of others.

The others were a little farther away from them, so they couldn't hear them very clearly.Lindsay and Jack were only two seats away, but their conversation could be heard very clearly at this time.Thus, both Yili and Xie Cheng heard such a sentence——

"We can design a jacket like a kimono," Lindsay said to Jack.

"...cough cough." Yili tried her best not to 'pop' out, but she still couldn't help coughing—if she remembers correctly, Lindsay got the fabric from Hong Kong, China, and now she wants to make a kimono Her mood is a bit complicated.

Well, anyway, Americans feel the same about China and Japan. They are both places full of people with black hair and black eyes. About [-]% or [-]% of Americans don’t know that Japan is a small island. It's a land country.

——Don’t think that Yili is exaggerating, you know, Americans—even well-educated Americans, as long as they have not dealt with Chinese or Chinese business, and have not deliberately learned about the East, they are quite ignorant of the East.There is no derogatory meaning, this is an objective fact.If it wasn't for worrying about being suspected of cheating, Yili could give a hundred examples.

"Ahem..." However, Yili was not the only one who was choked, and Xie Cheng, who knew a little about China, was no different.

"What's wrong with you? Are you okay?" Yili asked Xie Cheng while covering her mouth with a napkin - after all, it's too indecent to cough at the dining table, even if you turn your head away. There are usually people at the next table - .She didn't understand why Xie Cheng coughed suddenly, did he choke?The soup is too hot?It doesn't seem to be there, it is slightly hot and very palatable temperature.

"It's okay, it's okay." Xie Cheng also covered his mouth with a napkin, while waving his hand to Yili - it has been like this since before, and the misunderstanding of the East and China by the classmates around him made him helpless and funny.Although he was born and raised in the United States, thanks to the teachings of the older generation in his family, Xie Cheng still has a concept of China.Of course, this reason cannot be told to the other party. After all, he now looks like a Westerner, and it is rather strange to know the East.

Therefore, even though both of them reacted violently to the same incident, they both covered up the snatching by coincidence, and only felt faint doubts about each other's suddenness.If the two continue to delve deeper at this time, they will probably discover that the other party has the same identity as themselves - the reincarnation of this inexplicable game.

Over there, the conversation between Lindsay and Jack continued.

"Lindsay, the kimono is not from Hong Kong." Jack had actually been to Hong Kong, and he still had an impression of it. "It's from Japan."

"I know, I'm just talking about my feeling, this kind of bright red and green fabric with gold patterns gives me the feeling." Lindsay argued - well, she really didn't know the difference Clear over there.

Actually, they also have a pastel pink fabric that looks lovely.Yili happened to catch a glimpse, thinking silently in her heart.By the way, she silently gave a thumbs up for Jack's profound knowledge (well, although it's a bit unpopular for Americans)—she didn't know, it wouldn't be long before she wanted to take this thumbs back.

Cultural collisions occur in every corner of this restaurant, and Lindsay is by no means the only one with problems.However, other people who know that they have limited knowledge in this area have tacitly handed over the leadership to another person than Lindsay, who is more willing to express themselves.Of course, there are also those who are stubborn, but whether this stubbornness is rewarded depends on tomorrow's show.
