Chapter 5: Internal Entertainment’s Strongest Resource Person!
The last segment of the program is called 《How to Evaluate Ta》.
It adopts a debate mode, where everyone gathers around a table and takes turns debating （praise/output）.
Bullet comments in this segment clearly surged, and the number of online viewers skyrocketed.
「Come on strong!!!」
「Stop dawdling, output Hu Ye quickly, whether we can have fun tonight depends entirely on you!」
「Although Hu Ye is a bit crazy today, this doesn’t change the fact that he himself is beautiful trash.」
「If bullying teammates and riding on popularity to the point of halting someone’s career can be forgiven, then why do we need police?」
「Lin Jingyi, I have high hopes for you!」
Fans and audience members’ expectations for this segment are visibly palpable.
On stage.
Lin Jingyi, who was pinned with high hopes by everyone, did not disappoint the audience.
After Teacher He briefly warmed up the atmosphere and everyone took turns praising Chu Luan Yu, she immediately turned the spearhead toward Chi Ye: “Chi Ye, I’ve collected a few netizen questions here…”
The people around immediately fell silent, each making very cooperative gestures of covering their mouths and exaggerated actions.
“Is she really going to do it?” The male regular said softly, but not completely softly.
“Oh no, oh no, is this something a small-timer like me can hear?” The female regular was even more exaggerated.
“Don’t do it…” Chu Luan Yu’s long eyelashes fluttered.
Chi Ye heard the sounds from this side and turned his head: “The next segment is for paid content, everyone should get a VIP first.”
“Hahaha…”
“You you you!”
“Chi Ge, you’re an idol, watch your image!”
“Penguin send money!!”
The few people instantly broke character.
But with Chi Ye saying that, the originally tense atmosphere eased a lot.
Lin Jingyi was unaffected, staring at Chi Ye, her first question extremely brutal: “My first impression of you wasn’t great, lots of people online say you’re a resource person with a huge Yue Na background, and your teammates don’t even dare offend you…”
Before she finished speaking, the people below and around had already “whoa”-ed in uproar.
“This harsh?!”
Teacher He’s eyes showed surprise.
He remembered that although the script had arranged similar questions, it shouldn’t be this direct.
Lin Jingyi smiled at Chi Ye: “Everyone says you’re imperial clan, that you got resources through other means without any strength, do you have anything to refute?”
“No need to refute.”
Chi Ye leaned on the sofa, thought for a moment, and pointed at Chu Luan Yu beside him: “But saying I’m a resource person and imperial clan right in front of my Sister Yu, isn’t that too much?”
“I’m imperial clan, then what is Sister Yu? Emperor?”
Lin Jingyi was stunned.
Chu Luan Yu reacted quickly, her doll-like face serious as she proudly puffed out her chest: “Yes, I’m also imperial clan, we all are—resource persons!”
“Hahaha!”
“Yu Yu is so cute.”
“Emperor cracked me up.”
Both Chi Ye and Chu Luan Yu are well-known resource persons in the industry.
But their levels are not the same.
Chu Luan Yu is the kind of resource person across the entire internal entertainment circle, with debut resources so good that many top little flowers can only drool over them.
Chi Ye, however, is simply Yue Na Company’s imperial clan, with resources only in one company.
And Chu Luan Yu’s imperial clan status has gone beyond the industry circle, even outsiders and bystanders know of this exquisite beauty with a top-tier figure, but no matter how much she’s pushed, she just won’t get popular.
When she first debuted, Chu Luan Yu faced a lot of boycotts because of this; whichever movie she starred in, people would curse that movie.
Years later, “Chu Luan Yu is a resource person” has long become a meme in the internal entertainment circle.
So, at this moment, compared to Chu Luan Yu sitting beside him, Lin Jingyi’s sharp output instantly seemed weak and powerless.
“Um…”
Lin Jingyi was choked, clearly not expecting Chi Ye’s reaction and eloquence to be this good.
And with him doing this, she really couldn’t keep harping on this topic.
After all, Chu Luan Yu was right there; she couldn’t really offend her.
She changed angles and asked an even more “bloody” question: “What about bullying?”
“Lots of people say that during your time in Rise boy group, you kept bullying other teammates, including… top streamers like Peng Chen and Shen Qing Yu; how do you respond to this?”
Bullying.
This wasn’t in the script arranged by the program team beforehand, because topics involving morals or even legal boundaries were ones the program team didn’t want to touch.
In other words, saying this during the live program was too harsh.
So at this moment, hearing these two words, Teacher He immediately changed his expression.
Chu Luan Yu also suddenly lifted her head, her pitch-black eyes staring tightly at Lin Jingyi.
“Cough cough, this seems to be just rumors from those gossip media…”
Teacher He coughed lightly twice, wanting to gloss over it.
“I’ll give a simple response.”
Chi Ye looked at the relentless Lin Jingyi and said candidly: “It is bullying.”
“I bullied all six of them by myself, mainly because I have kingly domineering aura; tiger’s roar 1V6 is no problem.”
“Haha.”
Chu Luan Yu laughed out loud again.
Lin Jingyi was also momentarily stunned, but then realized Chi Ye was “whitewashing” himself.
She didn’t give him a chance and pressed on: “Does one person mean they can’t bully six? What if you bully with resources?”
“You’re imperial clan; if others don’t listen to you, you just withhold resources from them—would they dare resist?”
Chi Ye was slightly surprised and didn’t retort again.
Lin Jingyi smiled smugly: “So, this is true then?”
“No.”
“I was just thinking… am I really as powerful as you say…”
Chi Ye lowered his eyes in thought, slightly puzzled: “If I’m really that powerful, why am I sitting here getting output on today? Something’s wrong; Yue Na, what are you doing to me! Is this the treatment for imperial clan?!”
“!!!”
“This works?!”
“Awesome!”
The live audience directly screamed at Chi Ye’s response.
Because his positioning in this episode of the program was well-known to everyone, the reaction speed and eloquence of this reply completely exceeded expectations, leaving everyone confused.
This kind of reaction and eloquence, and you’re telling me this is Hu Ye?
Lin Jingyi: “…”
She was also shown up by Chi Ye’s reaction at this moment.
To be honest, today’s Chi Ye felt very unfamiliar to her.
Although she hadn’t interacted with Chi Ye before, the entertainment industry is so small; any stir, and insiders basically know what’s up.
The rumored Chi Ye was the type who kowtows and licks to all big stars daily, bullies the weak and fears the strong, stingy and petty, with business ability in the negatives.
The whole person, except for one face, had almost nothing decent.
So fan circle gave him the nickname—beautiful trash.
But today’s Chi Ye…
Though unwilling to admit it, Lin Jingyi did feel this was very different from her impression of Chi Ye.
“I’m calling Yue Na right now; how did they arrange this? You put a relationship insider like me in a position to get roasted; does Yue Na President still want the job? If not, replace him!”
Chi Ye prepared to pull out his mobile phone to question the company.
“Chi Chi, Chi Chi.”
Teacher He reached out to stop him, double entendre: “Are you planning to finish the program and then quit?”
Chu Luan Yu puffed out her chest: “Do it right! That’s the style of us resource persons; you didn’t shame us resource persons!”
Laughter erupted below the stage; Lin Jingyi’s eyes flickered as she prepared for a new round of even more brutal output.
“Wait.” Chi Ye directly raised his hand to stop, his bright eyes looking at everyone: “Wasn’t it agreed to be a debate? It’s my turn now, right? Can’t just have Jingyi talking all the time?”
Everyone was slightly stunned.
The mode of this segment was indeed like that; the script roughly said Chi Ye would react slowly to questions, letting Teacher He smooth things over, which both wraps up and lets the audience have a thrill.
But looking at Chi Ye’s performance today, you’re saying he’s slow to react?!
“Of course you can.”
The program team’s director below the stage shook his head at Teacher He, but considering it was live, there was no way to refuse, so Teacher He nodded and reminded: “But be careful, okay.”
“Careful with death blows?”
Teacher He broke down.
“Hahaha.”
Chu Luan Yu lightly bit her red lip: “You’d better think if you can ‘live’ out of the studio today.”
“No problem.” Chi Ye pointed at himself: “I’m imperial clan; whoever dares block me, I’ll ‘bully’ them!”
“Hahahaha.”
Chu Luan Yu realized she couldn’t out-talk Chi Ye in this aspect, raised her small hand, signaling him to start.
“Jingyi, are you ready?”
Chi Ye was still considerate of the lady.
Lin Jingyi, stared at by Chi Ye’s good-looking eyes, inexplicably felt a chill down her spine and swallowed saliva: “R-Ready.”
“Alright then.” Chi Ye paused, staring straight at Lin Jingyi’s cyber technology face bluntly: “What’s the tech content percentage of this face of yours?”
“Oh~!”
“Bro, bro!!”
The people beside instantly had pupil earthquakes, emitting incredulous weird sounds.
Lin Jingyi’s cyber face + contrived personality had long been famous inside and outside the industry; due to being too prominent, it was also mocked across the net for a while.
But who would dare ask so directly on the program?
Lin Jingyi’s pretty face paled at the question; this well-known thing was hard to deny, but she couldn’t admit it directly, so she mumbled unclearly: “I’m Weiwei, Weiwei, just a slight adjustment, not much…”
“Not right.” Chi Ye looked at Lin Jingyi’s face full of mechanical sense: “Weiwei? I think you’re Weiwei but didn’t do it at all? Not even a bit done!”
He glanced at the big screen shot with Lin Jingyi’s introduction and photo—that photo was from a few years ago—then looked at Lin Jingyi in front of him, and directly shouted to the program team below:
“The program team is pretty innovative this time, specially inviting a civilian with the same name as Jingyi to join the program!”
“Ah~!”
“So harsh!”
“Hahaha!”
On and below the stage instantly exploded; even program team members covered their faces.
Little mouth dipped in poison?!
“I’d say our program team really gets innovation…”
Chi Ye wanted to continue rambling.
“The child is still young, everyone don’t take offense.”
Teacher He seriously reached out his hand, looking at the camera: “This program is a debate program; everything above belongs to normal discussion segments. Everyone, absolutely do not imitate!”
