Chapter 136: Mentor Chi Dominates The Scene!
So-called Xiang You takes the stage acting, judges go wild with acting skills.
Others participate in acting variety shows to test their own acting skills, but Xiang You joins acting variety shows to test the mentors’ acting skills.
I want to see who dares to laugh, whoever laughs out loud won’t be able to return to Hong Kong!
Everyone turns back upon hearing the voice: “？！”
Xiang You also stops, sees Chi Ye and Teacher Wu’s figures, eyes light up, flings his head of beautiful hair and shouts: “Chi Ye! Brother, you’ve finally come!”
Chi Ye: “?”
He notices everyone’s strange gazes, quickly waves his hand: “Don’t misunderstand, we’re just ordinary friends.”
“Hehe.”
Sheng Ning sneers coldly, thinks to herself that this Madam Xiang doesn’t seem like someone who couldn’t afford an ultrasound either, could it be that back then during the cesarean section when anesthesia was administered, it was really given to Xiang You’s head?!
This really is cats seeking cats, dogs seeking dogs, a mouse’s friend is a mouse.
Two talented players, no wonder they “admire each other”.
“Oh, Xiang You, your… your performance, it still has a slight flaw, why are you rushing over like this?”
Teacher Wu sees Xiang You already walking over, can’t avoid it anymore, can only furrow his brows into a knot, words as “tactfully” as possible: “What are you acting?!”
Everyone: “…”
As expected of Teacher Wu, no plans to return to Hong Kong in the future!
Xiang You isn’t embarrassed, just states frankly: “I’ve been in seclusion for seven years, I feel like I’m really ready now!”
Chi Ye curiously: “Ready to be a comedian?”
Xiang You gives him a resentful look: “We’re brothers, you… forget it, be fair, this is fair to the other contestants too.”
Chi Ye: “…”
Everyone: “…”
Alright, another one who can’t return to Hong Kong… oh sorry, Chi Ye isn’t from Hong Kong.
Then it’s fine.
At this moment, Xiang You’s gaze has turned to Teacher Zeng, full of sincerity and expectation.
Teacher Zeng’s features twist a bit, but compared to Teacher Wu, he is the truly high emotional intelligence one.
“Xiang You, your performance this time shows effort put in, with quite a few highlights… however, in some details, if polished a bit more, it could be even more outstanding.”
Teacher Zeng pinches his nose: “I’m a bit curious, when preparing this performance, were you short on time? Feels like with more time to refine, it would definitely be particularly perfect.”
High emotional intelligence!!
As expected of a veteran, speaking level is just high.
“Thanks, Teacher Zeng!”
Xiang You is moved, then Teacher Zhang and Jiang Kaige and others also give some comments, along the way star rating Xiang You’s performance this time, a total of five stars, time to show social graces again.
But Chi Ye here isn’t paying attention to these, because his gaze has been drawn to another three figures.
—Lin Ze Yu, Su Ran, and Chicken Feet Sister-in-law.
At this moment, the three are staring at him eagerly, still wearing 《 Circulation 》 male and female leads + Officer Zhang’s clothes.
Chi Ye: “?”
So you guys are the last ones?
“Um, one more group.”
At this time, everyone has finished star rating Xiang You, gazes all falling on the three.
The surrounding idols, internet celebrities, “actors” who have already been star rated also crowd over one by one, glancing at Chi Ye from time to time, watching the excitement.
Yang Zi huffs with nose not nose, face not face—good brother ignoring him?!
Really!
What a waste of my support for you!
Chi Ye doesn’t notice Teacher Yang Zi already has some emotions inside, at this moment, looking at Lin Ze Yu and the three, he’s also a bit confused.
Why are you still acting 《 Circulation 》?
Isn’t this purely rubbing salt in my wounds?
The three can’t speak much now, seeing so many people staring at them, the already awkwardly indescribable “performance” becomes even more stiff.
Lin Ze Yu: “We’ve fallen into a loop!”
Su Ran: “How do you prove it?”
Chicken Feet Sister-in-law: “We’ve really fallen into a loop… um… we… um…”
Done for, even forgot the lines, reciting like a textbook.
“Ah~”
Teacher Wu shakes his head, covers his eyes.
Jiang Kaige clears his throat.
Sheng Ning and Li Qian both look at Chi Ye, don’t speak, meaning very clear: these are the creatures you brought, they look pretty human.
Chi Ye puzzled: “You guys are… acting the skin but not the flesh?”
“Are the lines too hot to say, can’t even speak?”
Lin Ze Yu and the three lower their heads in shame, Chicken Feet Sister-in-law sees the two have such a good “opportunity” yet don’t know to cherish it, immediately speaks up to rub: “Captain, we’ve embarrassed Rise!”
“No problem, has Rise embarrassed few people?”
“Pfft.”
Li Qian can’t hold back, laughs out loud, then awkwardly covers her mouth.
Bullet comments also can’t hold back.
「hhh, has Rise embarrassed few people?」
「Laughing to death, these two honest guys from Rise really have no chance, but the captain is a genius!」
「Rise’s acting level is really bad, Chi Ye is actually the most resilient in there?」
「Don’t awkwardly diss, Lao Peng isn’t bad either.」
「Terminal cancer don’t compete with early stage, all about the same.」
「Mentors are all numb, haha.」
At this moment, the mentors are indeed a bit numb.
Teacher Wu recovers, signals: “Then shall we star rate?”
“Rate away.”
Teacher Zhang sighs and shakes her head—this program has no real actors?
Except Chi Ye, is he a real actor?
Thinking this, she glances at Chi Ye, finds Chi Ye actually praising Lin Ze Yu and others: “Actually acted pretty well.”
Lin Ze Yu and others look up, moved: “Captain, you don’t have to…”
“This is my rating.”
Chi Ye shows his rating, five stars, only one lit.
Everyone is stunned.
Lin Ze Yu opens his mouth: “Not… pretty good? One star? That’s the lowest level.”
Chi Ye shakes his head: “This isn’t one star, it’s six stars.”
“Ah? Six stars?”
Everyone even more confused.
Li Qian can’t help her curiosity: “The highest seems to be only five stars, and you only lit one star.”
“Yes, six stars.” Chi Ye explains: “This is the extra one.”
Everyone: “…”
Li Qian looks at Chi Ye, a bit interested.
Sigh, lost composure, lost composure.
How is Chi Ye’s mouth so funny?
The program team director behind is already grinning, slapping his thigh hard: Damn! This is Chi Ye’s strength!
Inviting him was spot on!
…
Meanwhile.
Outside the restroom.
Sister Shang’s agent sits on a chair, finally waits for Sister Shang and assistant Xiao Wang who have finished their Nth business in the place.
“Yo, isn’t this the bottom lane double marksman?”
Sister Shang: “…”
Xiao Wang covers her face.
“Sis, don’t say that about us, we know we were wrong.”
Sister Shang hangs her head dispiritedly, both embarrassed and aggrieved: “I shouldn’t have eaten it, I confess, I’m guilty!”
“You issue a ‘decree of self-blame’ every day, is it useful?”
The agent is annoyed but sees her little face pale white, concerned: “You okay? Really no need to go to the hospital?”
“I’m fine, just… confrontation route was a bit hard to play, output a bit longer.”
“You Hou Yi? Multi-arrow it.”
Sister Shang huffs and puffs: “Don’t say it sis… I… let’s go in for recording.”
“Recording?” The agent sees her joking at this time, knows it’s not serious, speechless: “Their segment has ended, wait for them to come out.”
“Oh? Pretty fast.”
Sister Shang hears it’s over, both angry and annoyed—she wasn’t by Chi Ye’s side this time, missed how much gossip!
Damn diarrhea combo!
Tomorrow I’ll go endorse Burger King!
Thinking this, Sister Shang wilts again, luckily not long after, Chi Ye and others come out.
—Mentors and consultant group with actors’ “first” meeting ends, film and television city segment temporarily ends, everyone takes the bus together to the studio to continue recording.
On the road, Chi Ye and Sister Shang, Teacher Wu and others in one big bus.
The two sit together, Sister Shang can’t hold back her curiosity and regret, chases Chi Ye asking: “How was it how was it? What big gossip happened inside?!”
“Nothing, just normal recording.”
Chi Ye thinks, indeed nothing happened, just… a bunch of weird fake people performing.
Sister Shang doesn’t believe, a bit frantic: “Just tell me!”
“Really nothing… oh right.”
Chi Ye suddenly thinks of something, concernedly asks her: “Did you carry?”
“Ah?”
Sister Shang is stunned: “What carry…”
Chi Ye puzzled: “Aren’t you a little marksman.”
Sister Shang: “？！！”
She instinctively covers her mouth, then realizes it’s wrong, quickly puts it down carefully, eyes already brewing “murderous intent”: “You… how do you know?!”
Chi Ye: “……Did you wash your hands?”
Sister Shang really blushes, this is the first time Chi Ye sees the usually good-tempered Sister Shang get angry.
She… angrily turns her head away, emos alone.
Chi Ye a bit regrets, feels shouldn’t have asked, thinks and comforts: “I’ll tell you big gossip.”
Sister Shang still doesn’t speak, but eyes subconsciously glance at Chi Ye, finds Chi Ye noticing her, immediately withdraws gaze, continues sulking.
Chi Ye: “……Not listening then forget it.”
“……Forget it then.”
Shang Youshu mutters, but not five minutes later, she can’t hold back, secretly pokes Chi Ye a few times, proactively lowers voice asking: “That… tell me, I’ll just listen once.”
Chi Ye lifts eyelids, drops them again: “Not telling.”
He figures it out, Sister Shang’s temper is really good, people bully the kind, so he won’t hold back!
Shang Youshu: “……Not telling then don’t, who cares!”
She turns her head away to emo again, sadly murmurs: “My life is like walking on thin ice, do you think I can reach the other shore?”
“……You get out of the toilet first.”
“Chi Ye!”
“Um…” Chi Ye secretly curses himself for having a loose mouth, thinks and says: “Yang Zi’s ex-wife because he joined this variety show, in the end didn’t come, heard she smashed a cup at the program team.”
“Hm?!”
Sister Shang’s eyes light up, immediately leans ear over.
Chi Ye face unchanged: “Yang Zi just now inside publicly acted like a thug, scared the international film empress.”
“Details on how he acted like a thug!”
“This can’t be aired… search it, should have clips.”
“Any more any more?”
“Teacher Lu and Lin Jingyi broke up, recently having a hard time, just came to this variety show.”
“Oh, I’ve heard that one.”
“Yeah… really none left, next time first thing I’ll tell you.”
“……Alright then.”
Shang Youshu is still unsatisfied, feels this isn’t enough.
But seeing Chi Ye really has no more, she can’t press, can only grudgingly stop asking.
Thus, rest of the way silent.
Half hour later, return to studio.
Everyone sits in turn, Chi Ye sits in the “judge seats”, of course, the very front C-position still the five mentors.
As for the 46 actors, distributed in the lobby seating, one by one chattering noisily, not even started broadcasting, they’re also “networking” respectively.
Yang Zi sits in a side position, looking at this group around of small actors, idols, internet celebrities he doesn’t know, face displeased, sneers inwardly, what star power do you have to sit with me?
Damn, how is this like that talent show 101… pity, he’s just a “contestant”.
He glances at Chi Ye in the “judge seats” again, winks at him frantically.
Chi Ye strange: “Does he have something wrong with his eyes?”
“Hmph, he probably wants you to help him.”
Sheng Ning sneers coldly: “Though you would totally do that kind of thing.”
Chi Ye: “?”
Did I do you?
He’s very puzzled inside, just because he rubbed you, you have such big bias against me?
Fine… though later learned, his rub was indeed a bit “hard”, but you already “retaliated” against me at Screaming Night, right?
Sure enough, Empress Dowager was right, Sheng Ning is too petty.
He glances at Sheng Ning’s just lit ladies’ cigarette, “kindly” says: “Don’t smoke out lung cancer.”
Sheng Ning glances with phoenix eyes, thin lips curve slightly: “Don’t like it? On purpose.”
Chi Ye: “？？？”
Sick?!
Sheng Ning really starts smoking publicly, not afraid of exposure… probably already exposed several times, public long knows her habit.
But this indoor venue…
He feels Sheng Ning’s brain really has issues, inexplicably throws some black points outside, just to “retaliate against him”?
Purely brain not normal!
He doesn’t speak anymore, quietly waits for indoor recording to start.
Don’t say, sitting in this position watching the actors below… really has a feeling never had before.
Before, he was one of those below too.
…
“Oh… what do you say this mess, later when we introduce ourselves how to introduce? Still rub the captain?”
Below stage, Jiang Mou and Sister Shen not there, Zhang Xianming obviously became the current Rise team’s “pillar”.
He’s surrounded by Rise people… Xiang You is also there.
As for why he’s there, don’t ask, ask it’s he insisted on coming over—he’s just too curious about the team his “brother” once led!
“What’s that, just normal introduction, we didn’t get in by connections!”
Xiang You speaks firmly.
Rise people glance at him, silent.
Lin Ze Yu and Su Ran these two honest guys are a bit nervous in front of Xiang You, Ji Zhua Zhang starts bootlicking: “Indeed, we all got in by acting skills.”
Xiang You strangely looks at him: “Don’t get close to me, I won’t be brothers with your kind.”
Ji Zhua Zhang: “…”
Damn, discriminating against us chicken feet sellers?!
While the few are talking, program team notifies, studio formal recording starts.
But the first “self-introduction” segment everyone imagined doesn’t appear.
Sheng Ning walks to the stage, sweeps a circle.
The originally slightly noisy crowd instantly quiets, pin drop silence.
This is the aura of the hot first-tier top streamer, head of the Four Little Flowers, paired with her pretty delicate but slightly mean face, even stronger.
She sweeps a circle, only says one sentence: “Among the 46 actors present, who has had plastic surgery? Those who have, please stand and go to the back steps.”
Site instantly even quieter, but no one stands.
Li Qian adds: “Micro-adjustments count too, like double eyelid surgery, bone grinding, making body bigger or smaller, all count.”
Site atmosphere almost freezes.
Chi Ye glances at Lin Jingyi fidgeting in her seat, hesitating, pauses, adds: “Head swaps don’t count, right?”
“Hahaha.”
Laughter erupts below stage, tense atmosphere eases, Li Qian who was stern also curves her mouth.
Chi Ye directly names: “Lin Jingyi, already admitted it, still pretending what? Want me to invite you?”
Swish swish swish.
Cameras instantly all on Lin Jingyi.
“…”
Lin Jingyi stunned, reacts, complex and grateful look at Chi Ye, silently stands: “I… I’ve had it.”
Sheng Ning nods, looks at others again.
Everyone looks at each other.
“Um… one injection doesn’t count, right?”
“Yeah, mine is medical beauty, not plastic surgery…”
“Oh… almost suffocating, so strict…”
“Suddenly really want to go to Chi Ye’s group, compared to Teacher Sheng Ning, Teacher Chi seems so gentle…”
“Then you don’t know him well yet…”
“Chi Ye has no group right? He’s consultant group, not mentor…”
“Is he? I think it’s possible… not sure.”
Hearing the buzz below, Sheng Ning frowns: “No one else?!”
Everyone quiets again, atmosphere suffocates anew.
Shang Youshu who hasn’t spoken blinks her eyes, thinks, still doesn’t speak.
This she really can’t do… needs someone with strong aura like Sheng Ning, not afraid to offend people.
