I'm Filming Variety Shows In Apocalypses-Chapter 129: "The Ren Family Wants To Talk To Aon"
SS 129
Aon had heard of this variety show before.
Some dude in the same star field boasted that he would be qualified to join the Junior Doomsday Survival Championship.
This variety show was the milder version of Universal Doomsday Survival Championship, an annual event that was as big as the olympic or the World Cup.
Only those who had at least entered the final stage of the Junior Doomsday Survival Championship could enter the Universal Doomsday Survival Championship.
Now, he's actually qualified to register?
Of course he had to take it!
"I want to register, but is there anything I have to prepare? You see, I'm still a new celebrity, after all."
He's not even a few months old in this industry and he had already attempted to enter a serious championship!
It sounded crazy, right?
Would the company allow it—
"I knew you would want to enter this show." Kate tugged the corner of her mouth and waved her hands at Aon, signalling him to come closer.
"I have sent the relevant files about the previous year's championship videos and other information. You can take a look."
After all, every year, the theme would be different, and the challenges were also super different.
Who knew what kind of challenges would be prepared for this year's championship?
"Will the company allow me to join that show? Once I join, I probably can't take any other shows until this current one and the championship ends."
Of course, that would only be if he could survive until the final.
"Don't worry. Joining that championship show is the best publicity for any doomsday celebrities."
If anything, the company would be ecstatic that Aon could enter the show.
"Just passing the audition is difficult. Don't get your hopes too high. This show isn't like any other shows you have been in."
Aon nodded while watching a few short clips of Legendary moments in the junior Championship throughout history.
He had to say that...the junior championship was on another level compared to the other variety shows that focused more on entertainment.
The championship focused more on actual combat, survival ability and so on, which was definitely more intense and brutal.
Death was common in this show, unlike other shows that prioritized not showing death in front of the camera.
Such a show...
It's interesting!
"When will the audition be held? Will it clash with my next filming schedule?"
Aon was confident that he could definitely get to the next round in Epic Doomsday Style.
"No, it won't clash. The audition is in a week while your next filming to announce the result will be held tomorrow."
"Then, the start of Epic Doomsday Style's next round will be next week."
So after Aon was done with the audition, he could seamlessly join the Epic Doomsday Style show for the second round of filming.
"Okay...will the audition be held on the capital planet?"
After all, there would be a lot of people wanting to register, right?
"Yes, it will be on the capital planet of each galaxy. The Junior championship is a universe-level championship for one-star celebrities up to three-star celebrities."
Those more popular than three-star celebrities could no longer join the Junior championship, so many celebrities would at least try to survive until the junior championship final when they were still a three-star celebrity or lower.
Of course, there were a few exceptions, such as those who debuted with a fame far surpassing the three-star celebrities.
In this vast universe, a three-star celebrity was only on par with top influencers.
Influencers who switched to becoming celebrities could immediately get a three-star label or above, so they were the exceptions.
"But no worries. Being more popular doesn't mean that they can survive better. The Junior Doomsday Survival Championship is all about strength, not popularity."
But the minimum requirement to join the show was set at a one-star celebrity because those with enough strength should at least be at this level of fame.
"Your competitors in this show won't be mere the usual celebrities you have seen before."
"Almost all the contestants will be transcendent people while those who aren't will at least be special forces such as soldiers, police, and so on."
The contestants might even include a bounty hunter, an assassin and a few hidden criminals.
"You better be careful with your competitors."
"Okay..."
Aon nodded again and watched Kate help him register for the audition that would be held in seven days.
The boy rested backstage for a while and thought that he could go home for the day, but Nina suddenly came with surprising news.
"T-that, Aon, someone from the program's team is here to see you..."
Kate, who was standing next to Aon, immediately looked up with a look of surprise.
"What? Someone from the program's team wants to meet Aon? Is it to discuss the contract or other things?"
Nina bit her lips and shook her head timidly.
"N-no, the ones who want to meet Aon are...Renmu, Rennor and Rennesse..."
!
The people from the Ren Family!
"Why do they want to see me? Did they tell you the reason, big sis?" Aon immediately looked away from his optical watch and looked at Nina with a pair of focused eyes.
He couldn't believe that the Ren family would want to meet him privately...
All this time, the Ren Family just met him at the variety shows. They had never asked for a private meeting!
"They...they didn't say the reason, but they say it's something important..."
Since that's the case...
Kate looked at Aon and when she saw that Aon was interested to meet the Ren Family, she could only sigh while pinching her aching temple.
"Okay, let's meet the Ren Family. Where do they want to meet?" Kate asked Nina while tidying up her appearance.
"Shouldn't they be busy with the scoring? Why would they want to meet Aon now..."
What if someone saw the scene and then they mistook it as Aon bribing the judges or something like that?
Nina pinched her fingers and lowered her head while answering in a small voice,
"T-that...they said they're coming to this room..."
"What?? They want to come to this resting room??"
Aon was fortunate enough to get a small resting room on his own backstage, just like other one-star celebrities or those with more popularity.
But even so, this resting room was really small! There was only one chair and one coffee table.
Even the manager and the assistant could only stand...
Why would they come all the way to this humble resting room?
Before Kate could ask Nina to tell the Ren Family to change the meeting place, someone knocked on the door and a familiar voice entered everyone's ears.
"Hello, this is Rennor. I'm here with Renmu and my mom. Can we enter the room?"
!
Aon, Kate and Nina subconsciously stood up and Nina, the one who was the closest to the door, immediately opened the door with haste.
"Y-yes, yes, I'm sorry to make you wait, please come in— "
Nina looked at the room that could barely fit the three of them and immediately stepped out of the room to make way for the three guests.
"Mmm. Thank you." Rennor nodded at Nina and strode into the room with Renmu and Rennesse.
Before Nina could even say something more, Renmu closed the door, blocking Nina's path to the room.
Inside the room, Kate and Aon stood side by side as the three guests walked into the room.
"Ugh. This room is so small. I forgot that the contestants' resting rooms are all small."
Renmu furrowed his eyebrows as he complained, but he didn't take the only available seat and just leaned on the door.
"This is already much better than in other shows. The contestants never have a personal resting room." Rennor shrugged as he helped his mother to sit on the only chair in the room.
Then, he stood behind his mother, acting like a guard dog.
Standing in front of the chair and the small coffee table were two petrified people.
Kate and Aon were taken aback by the three guests' shift movements but soon, Kate snapped out of her shock and hurriedly bowed 90° at Rennesse.
"Nice to meet you, Lady Rennesse. I'm so sorry that we can't provide you with anything presentable..."
After all, there's not even a cup of tea or coffee in the room.
Rennesse casually waved her hand and chuckled,
"It's okay, it's rude of me to come without any prior appointment. But forgive me for being blunt...can you please wait outside for a moment?"
Rennesse pointed at Aon while crossing her legs elegantly.
"I have something to say to your artist and this is an absolutely private matter, so I would like to have no outsider present."
No outsider? But Aon is also an outsider...
Kate felt a little strange at Rennesse's request, but this is Rennesse, her idol!
"Y-yes, okay. Then, I'll take my leave now."
Kate immediately bowed at Rennesse with a blushing face before striding towards the door.
She didn't even look back at Aon, not even once!
"Big sis— " Aon stretched his hands in despair towards Kate, but Kate just threw him a wink and disappeared behind the door.
Slam.
The door was closed and now, Aon was alone with three Ren Family members.
So...what do they want to talk about?
