Chapter 601
What kind of prestige is this?
Wang Han emphasized, "As the director, I set an example by publicly disclosing all the chat content between myself and Teacher Huang Lei on my phone. Jiang Yang, as a senior agent, if you don't have this much courage, isn't that a bit unreasonable? Our Mars variety show is all about being real and bold."
These words put Jiang Yang in a very difficult position.
Refusing to hand over the phone is seen as seeking special treatment, lacking courage, and making one lose face.
Jiang Yang raised his phone and pleaded for help in Xue Zhiqian's direction: "Old Xue, please help me."
Xue Zhiqian immediately stood up, his face beaming with amusement: "What the hell! You broke the rules yourself and now you want to drag me down with you? If you've made a mistake, admit it and hand over your phone!"
As he spoke, he rushed over and reached out to snatch the phone from Jiang Yang's hand.
Jiang Yang quickly hid his phone behind his back and turned to look at Yang Chaoyue and Zhao Lushi sitting on the bench: "Chaoyue, Lushi, help me!"
Zhao Lushi's eyes lit up; she knew Jiang Yang was creating opportunities for her to get on camera.
She mustered her courage and tumbled off the bench where junior agents worked. While helping Xue Zhiqian pull Jiang Yang's arm, she said with a smile, "Boss, if you make a mistake, you have to admit it. If you're going to get a beating, you have to stand up straight."
Yang Chaoyue also flipped down, pretending to be serious, and said, "That's right, that's right, Brother Yang, you can't break the rules. Hurry up and hand over your phone so everyone can see it!"
Seeing this, the other guests started to tease them:
"Hand it over! Hand it over!"
"Check Jiang Yang's WeChat chat history!"
"There's nothing to hide, is there?"
This show is a lighthearted and nonsensical online variety show, without the many constraints of television variety shows.
Making a scene is the best way to create entertainment.
The guests are all seasoned veterans of the variety show industry, and they know exactly what's going on.
Just by looking at Jiang Yang's little gesture of hiding his phone, you can tell that he doesn't really have any shameful secrets; it's just a natural variety show moment that suddenly popped up on set.
By following this meme and creating a buzz, you don't need to be deliberately dramatic; you can liven up the atmosphere and get some screen time.
Following the rhythm of the performance, no one wanted to spoil the fun.
The camera always follows the excitement.
When people join in the fun, even internet celebrities on the junior agent seat can become part of the picture. They don't have to work hard to find the camera or create topics. Why not?
The junior agents banged on the table and shouted slogans.
The senior agents then smiled and surrounded him, forming a circle that trapped Jiang Yang in the middle.
In the chaos, Jiang Yang's phone was snatched away by Xue Zhiqian.
The staff who had been waiting nearby immediately stepped forward, holding a wireless screen mirroring receiver, and quickly connected the phone to the large screen on site.
A technical staff member squatted below the stage, skillfully operating the projection equipment.
Another assistant carried a spare data cable to ensure a seamless connection.
During a break from equipment setup, Wang Han leaned close to Jiang Yang and whispered, "Is there really any content that can't be broadcast? If it involves privacy, we can selectively broadcast it."
"It's nothing, I was just chatting with my sister."
"Okay, that's good, that's good."
Upon hearing this...
Wang Han understood Jiang Yang's meaning.
Playing around is fine, but if Jiang Yang really has any private information on his phone, the production team would be eager to release it to generate buzz. But Wang Han can't do that; his reputation would be ruined.
Jokes are jokes.
What needs to be explained must be explained clearly.
A moment later, Jiang Yang's WeChat interface lit up on the big screen, and his chat history with Jiang Yueyue was clearly visible.
Everyone on the scene looked up.
At first there were whispers.
But upon closer inspection, the entire room fell silent for a few seconds.
Immediately following this were bursts of gasps and exclamations.
"Holy crap! The admissions offices of Tsinghua and Peking Universities went directly to Jiang Yang's house?"
"Wow, this is impressive!" "This isn't what I wanted to see. I thought there would be some hookup news, but instead it's Versailles... Ugh!"
……
Yang Chaoyue's gaze was fixed on the brightly lit large screen.
The surrounding cheers and laughter quickly subsided.
Especially after Wang Han finished playing the video that Jiang Yueyue sent him, Yang Chaoyue had a smile on his face.
Jiang Yang is a source of pride for his boss.
He was also somewhat stunned.
My mind is a mess whenever I think about the days after the college entrance exam.
After estimating her score, she bragged to Xiwei, Haochun, Bailu, and others that she was sure she had it all figured out and was determined to get into Tsinghua or Peking University.
When I said those words, I stood up straight, feeling that the whole future was bright.
But when the text message confirming the results popped up, that little bit of pride shattered instantly.
Forget Tsinghua and Peking University, the score requirement is even lower than that for vocational colleges.
Those grand pronouncements later became the subject of occasional jokes by others, and also a small regret hidden in her heart. Every time she thought about them, she felt a bitter taste in her mouth, like chewing on an unripe green plum.
But Jiang Yang was truly sought after by professors from Tsinghua and Peking Universities.
The envy is genuine, but there's not a trace of resentment.
Thinking of how Yang Ge seems carefree on the surface, yet always manages to get things done perfectly, I can only feel admiration.
We're both people who've been forging ahead, but Yang Ge always manages to reach such a high position.
She lived up to a goal she casually mentioned, but never dared to actually strive for.
Regret also surged up.
She gently pursed her lips, and her lower lip was bitten by her teeth, leaving a faint mark. After noticing it, she raised her hand to touch it. Seeing that no cameras were filming her, she felt a little more at ease.
The slight feeling of dejection that had just begun to surface was quickly suppressed by the indomitable spirit deep within me.
What's there to be afraid of? She's still young, and she's not without opportunities.
If not this year, then next year.
I'll always manage to achieve something decent, even if I can't catch up with Yang Ge, I'll at least live up to my own aspirations.
Actually, he's not entirely inferior to Yang Ge in terms of academics.
For example, Yang Ge still can't prove why the three sides of an equilateral triangle are not equal, but she can come up with her own theory about why the three angles are not equal.
A little bit of pride in my heart was like a small piece of candy, gently sweetening the bitterness in my heart.
When Yang Chaoyue looked up at the big screen again, her eyes shone brightly, filled with the stubbornness and determination of a young girl.
Set a very ambitious goal: next year, aim for Tsinghua or Peking University.
Take it one step at a time, and work hard bit by bit; you'll eventually get closer.
I heard someone mutter something:
"Jiang Yang's mother actually hit someone?"
Xue Zhiqian's eyes widened: "Wow, Jiang Yang! Tsinghua and Peking University are fighting over you, and your sister still dares to cause trouble in the middle?"
Yang Chaoyue covered her mouth and laughed, then whispered, "My mom also scolds me for the smallest things."
Some people focused on Jiang Yueyue's handprint, showing expressions of sympathy mixed with a desire to laugh.
Li Wei, at the control room, was very satisfied with the enthusiastic atmosphere on set.
This is exactly the effect we wanted!
The buzz surrounding Jiang Yang's top scorer in the college entrance examination hasn't died down yet, and the topic of Tsinghua and Peking University admissions offices visiting his home already generates a lot of attention. Coupled with the little incident of his sister being beaten, this episode is both topical and entertaining, and it's sure to spark discussion after it airs.
Seeing that people at the scene had started discussing the topic of domestic violence, Wang Han knew he had to step in immediately to control the situation.
He raised his hand and gestured twice, his gentle tone calming the murmurs in the room, displaying the composed control of a seasoned host: "Everyone, please quiet down for a moment, and don't let your thoughts wander." (End of Chapter)
