Contract Marriage: Let's Make It Real, Mrs. Sterling!-Chapter 404 - 403: First Filming Location

The online buzz was everywhere, but the data was indeed skyrocketing, with the number of reservations for a preview clip rapidly increasing.

The director looked at it, smiling from ear to ear. Everyone’s criticizing the show, yet they’re still honestly making reservations.

Isn’t this what they call, "Loud complaints but genuine actions"?!

Indeed, the number of online reservations was soaring, making it truly sensational.

Finally, at 8 PM on Sunday, the preview clip was released.

[Here it comes, here it comes, I’ve been waiting eagerly to see if the last guest is Jensen Sterling.]

[I have to say, the show really knows how to create buzz. With all this publicity, the ratings are sure to come.]

[Stop with the chatter, I’m just here to see those two. Hurry up.]

[Mia, Mr. Sterling, go team～]

[Misen takes the stage, and nothing survives!]

As soon as it started playing, the number of comments was overwhelming.

The preview was pre-recorded and didn’t take much time. The purpose was just to introduce the guests, get them familiar with each other, and explain the show’s rules.

The first scene showed a couple, who were also regular guests from last season, practically veterans.

Upon arrival, they greeted the director enthusiastically and then sat there waiting for the others.

The other guests arrived gradually, each warmly greeting each other.

The couple that recently made headlines consisted of a guy, Keira Hughes, who became famous from a recent web drama, and a girl group member, Leo Lynn.

After they arrived, they respectfully greeted the senior guests.

Since they had to create an on-screen couple dynamic, they deliberately had some intimate interactions during their time together.

They did seem like a couple in love.

[Honestly, they do look like a good match and get along so sweetly.]

[If not for Jensen Sterling’s movie date rumors, they might have been criticized to death back then without this reprieve, letting them join the variety show now. They should be grateful to Jensen Sterling.]

[Speaking of this, where’s the final couple? Hurry up and stop keeping us in suspense.]

One of the guests, who had previously won a Best Actress award, lounged on the sofa, smiling and asking, "Director, when is the final couple coming?"

[Ahhh, she’s asking, she’s asking, Natalie Jennings asked the question I’ve been dying to know.]

The director glanced at Natalie Jennings, knowing she was trying to stir up topics for the show, and laughed, "They’ll be here soon."

Natalie Jennings raised an eyebrow, "So, can you reveal who it is, Director? It’s been all over the internet these days."

[Haha, look at the director’s expression, clearly saying, ’You’re so nosy.’]

[I’m suddenly in love with Natalie Jennings. She asked exactly what I wanted to know. Director, answer now, or I’ll get impatient.]

Her husband pulled her back, "This is a recording; if you ask now, there won’t be any surprises later."

Her husband was also a talented actor, once a Best Actor awardee.

The director nodded in agreement.

Natalie Jennings clicked her tongue, "I’m just doing it for the show’s effect."

Director: "..."

[Hahaha, killed me with laughter. For the show’s effect, Natalie Jennings is hilarious. How did I not notice this before?]

[That’s because they haven’t been active for quite a while.]

[Natalie Jennings, if you can talk more, please do. We love listening to you.]

Just as the guests finished speaking, the door opened, and the camera hurriedly turned to capture it.

The comments erupted instantly.

[Ahhh, here they come, it’s really Jensen Sterling and Mia Sutton, it’s truly them.]

[The show team is impressive, actually bringing these two on board.]

[Major score, big win.]

[These two walking together just... look too perfect, this visual match is impeccable.]

[And their vibes just sync so well, is this what they call a couple’s aura?]

In the footage, a man and a woman walked in, and Mia Sutton was saying something while Jensen Sterling slightly leaned down with a tilted head.

[Whoa, these two are too sweet. As soon as Mia Sutton started talking, Jensen Sterling instinctively leaned down. What a godly couple.]

[I don’t deserve such a love; my guy only ever annoys me.]

While the comments kept coming, Mia Sutton and Jensen Sterling had already arrived on-screen. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Mia Sutton smiled and greeted the others, introducing herself as well.

One guest saw this and joked, "We all know, it’s just our first time meeting you in person — even more beautiful than on TV."

The others also greeted Jensen Sterling.

Then the director announced the rules. As a couple’s and romance show, it wasn’t like those competitive programs with many rules, just some common routines in variety shows.

Afterwards, the guests chatted casually, talking about trivial things.

This part of the filming wasn’t hard, very simple, and was done in no time.

This segment of the video lasted about half an hour, which felt too short for the vast online audience, not even long enough to savor.

[Ahhh, is it over? Can you shoot a bit more? It’s not like I can’t afford it.]

[Even with just a short preview, I can already feel the romance. It’s too sweet.]

[Bring out the full episode quickly; I’m ready to contribute to your ratings.]

Amidst the online clamoring, the production team was already preparing for filming.

The theme for their first episode was the daily lives of couples (or lovers).

From these few words, it’s clear what content they were going to shoot.

Yes, it was about their daily lives. In the first episode, the guests weren’t all placed together but instead filmed separately, and the filming locations were selected from options provided by the production team online for the fans to choose from.

The wide audience was impressed by this gameplay for the first time, finding it incredibly exciting.

Directly letting them choose the recording location for the first episode and let them participate in the recording process—how could this not excite the fans?

This way, the show’s popularity was sparked, and their sense of involvement was enhanced, achieving two goals at once. Why not?

There were many options, like going to an amusement park, park, school, or even their home, and so on.

[Speaking of knowing how to play, the production team really does. I love this operation.]

[Ladies, choose the amusement park; I want to see what Jensen Sterling looks like in an amusement park.]

[School, wouldn’t it be sweet if these two played out a campus romance for us?]

[What’s the point of an amusement park or school? We might still see it in future recordings. I think we should choose home directly; wouldn’t that be more fun?]
