His Genius Wife Is A Superstar novel Chapter 1645

Chapter 1645: It’s Morning, Philippines

The TV program "It’s Morning, Philippines" had already started.

Iris Long and her entourage followed the program staff to a reserved dressing room. A television hung on the wall and played the program’s live broadcast.

The language used in the program was mostly Tagalog, especially by the news anchors who reported on the more serious, latest news. The other hosts for the variety segments, however, used Taglish (a combination of Tagalog and English), especially the younger ones.

Due to Dom and the Chuas’ influence in her life, Iris also learned a little Tagalog. She wasn’t that proficient with the language yet, but she could at least understand most colloquial conversations.

The overall vibe of the program was quite light, casual, and fun. Even the news segments didn’t focus too much on grave and solemn topics.

She found it interesting.

Waking up early in the morning to watch a show like this would give a happy boost to the viewers to start their days. She was already looking forward to guesting in such a show.

Although her makeup, hair and nails were already done back at the hotel, her glam team still touched her up. She also changed into the dress and shoes chosen just for this show.

There was a knock on the door and in came Dom followed by the show’s director and some of the mainstay veteran hosts. Both sides greeted each other and chatted.

"It’s the commercial break right now," the director said. "Finish getting ready and I’ll have my assistant bring you on standby."

"I understand, Director," Iris said.

The veteran female host patted Iris’ shoulder. "Don’t worry, Iris. Everything will be awesome today. We’re all very nice here and won’t ask anything too controversial. But if anything makes you uncomfortable, just look at me and blink two times. I’ll immediately steer the conversation to a safer, more general topic."

Iris saw the sincerity in the female host’s eyes. "Thank you. How kind of you to do that for me. But I’m quite open to answering any question as long as they don’t encroach too much on my family’s privacy and safety."

The director and the hosts grinned. They appreciated her openness which was quite different from most of the celebrities who guested in the program before. Almost all those celebrities were extremely careful about maintaining a certain image. They didn’t know how many instances they had witnessed of celebrities acting one way in front of the cameras and immediately changing into completely different characters when the cameras were turned off.

"As much as we want to know the juiciest details about you, we’re not that type of show," the female veteran host said.

Iris chuckled. She liked the vibe of this morning program so far and it hadn’t even started yet! Seeing the casual atmosphere where everyone seemed to get along, she appreciated "It’s Morning, Philippines" more and more.

The director paused and listened to someone speaking through his headset. "Okay, we’ll be back there in a minute." He turned to the hosts who accompanied him to the dressing room. "Commercial break is ending. We need to hurry back."

Everyone said a swift series of "See you later".

Iris, Dom and her entourage continued watching the live broadcast on the television. They also finished getting her ready.

After another commercial break, a staff member called for her to stand by. Iris and her team followed the staff member to the set. Someone equipped her with a Lavalier microphone.

There wasn’t any live audience in the studio.

The "stage" was divided into three areas.

The first area was for the news segment which consisted of a table and chairs for the news anchors. It was the most formal-looking area on the stage.

The second area consisted of a comfy-looking sofa set and a coffee table complete with a beautiful flower arrangement. It was for the variety-talk show segments.

The third one was an empty stage where guests could perform or play games with the hosts.

Iris was finally able to meet all of the news anchors and hosts. They were all very welcoming. The younger hosts even acted star-struck in front of her.

It was at this time that Jin Liwei finally arrived accompanied by just a single bodyguard. He didn’t accompany his wife earlier because Paul Ferrer and Marjorie Chua had invited him to inspect the property development company that he invested in.

Iris’ schedule was too packed that she couldn’t squeeze any time to see Paul and Marjorie’s company. Jin Liwei could only do it by himself. Fortunately, Paul and Marjorie understood her situation. They didn’t mind it at all.

They were already happy that Jin Liwei was able to come. He was the main reason for them being able to take a leap of faith and establish their own property development company in the first place. They wanted to show Jin Liwei that he didn’t make a mistake in trusting them with his investment.

Back to the present, Iris asked him, "You’re back so early?"
