Rebirth of Chinese Entertainment, the Diary of a 95 Flower

There was no cheerful background music, only the somber sound of a piano flowing slowly.

In the video, Yang Chaoyue is wearing a school uniform, her hair is casually draped over her shoulders, covering most of her face, and her eyes are as empty as a stagnant pool.

She sat in the corner of the classroom, her head bowed low, her fingers clutching the hem of her school uniform. Her deskmate handed her an eraser, and she trembled violently, her eyes filled with fear and resistance. Her lips trembled, but she couldn't utter a single word.

As the camera zooms in, the bloodshot veins in her eyes are clearly visible.

And that barely suppressed vulnerability, almost overflowing.

The scene then switches to the rooftop.

Yang Chaoyue leaned against the railing alone, the wind blowing her hair and revealing her pale profile.

She gazed at the distant sky, her eyes devoid of emotion, and murmured softly, "They all think I'm being dramatic, that I'm making trouble for no reason... but I'm really, really tired."

The voice was very soft, with a strong nasal tone, and the end of the sound trembled.

The last scene shows her finally breaking down in tears as she is being counseled by her therapist.

Tears fell onto the back of her hand, and she stubbornly bit her lip, refusing to make a sound.

That feeling of grievance and helplessness was so heartbreaking to watch.

After the clip finished playing, the big screen went dark.

The studio was so quiet you could hear someone breathing.

Guo Xuefu covered her mouth and muttered softly, "My God... is this really a leap? It's completely different."

Xue Zhiqian also put away his joking expression and nodded: "Chao Yue's acting skills are really good. He portrayed that repressed feeling perfectly."

Ning Jing crossed her arms, her smile deepening, and gave Yang Chaoyue an approving look: "Little girl, you've got something."

The junior agents snapped out of their daze.

applause.

In the control room, director Li Wei stared intently at the monitor, his fingers tapping on the walkie-talkie. His voice was low and urgent: "Attention all cameras! Give Yang Chaoyue a close-up! Capture her facial expressions! Especially her eyes! This is crucial, don't miss it!"

Because I know.

The moment is about to come when they're about to set a trap for Yang Chaoyue.

They deliberately embarrass the guests to create entertainment value for the show.

That's really despicable.

But it works well.

Li Wei adjusted the channel and said to Wang Han, "Brother Han, after the introduction, guide Yang Chaoyue to first state the content of his proposal, then come to me, explain the situation, pause the recording, and force Yang Chaoyue to come up with a proposal on the spot."

Wang Han watched the interaction between the guests in front of him.

He cracked a few jokes.

He glanced at Yang Chaoyue.

The little girl is still interacting with Jiang Yang, Xue Zhiqian, and Zhou Jie.

She recounted the amusing anecdotes about herself and Jiang Yang on set.

Wang Han could see that Yang Chaoyue was smiling sweetly.

She certainly didn't realize that a deliberately staged embarrassment was waiting for her.

After the rehearsal yesterday, Jiang Yang specifically sought him out: "Brother Han, this is Chaoyue's first time on this kind of variety show. He's straightforward and doesn't quite understand the ins and outs. Please take good care of him."

He agreed at the time. He said he would arrange everything perfectly for Chaoyue, so that Chaoyue could have fun without any pressure.

I felt a bit uneasy; ultimately, I couldn't get over my own conscience.

He was actually deceiving Jiang Yang.

He later discussed with Li Wei the idea of ​​having Yang Chaoyue act out a scene, which meant telling Yang Chaoyue all the procedures in advance.

This includes the process of coming up with a new proposal when it is rejected.

By letting Chao Yue follow the script, the show's entertainment value was created without actually embarrassing him.

After all, we're all in this industry; who hasn't experienced the helplessness of being a newcomer?
If we can protect them, we should.

But Li Wei's words overturned his idea: "Nothing staged is as exciting as the real thing, right, Brother Han? You're a host, and the audience loves to see these kinds of unexpected situations. They want to see the guests panic. That's how you generate buzz and viewership."

flow!

We live in the era of data traffic!

His show "Day Day Up" still has high ratings, but viewership is much lower than before.

Because most viewers have shifted from television to the internet.

This is his first online variety show.

After preparing for more than half a year, Wang Han knew all too well what this program meant to him.

If you become popular, you can establish a foothold in the online variety show industry.

It's a disaster; all our previous efforts have gone down the drain.

With that gentle and polite smile on his face, Wang Han avoided the camera, turned to the microphone clipped to his clothes, and said to Li Wei, "Chaoyue doesn't know about this, does he?"

"Of course we didn't know. I didn't even tell the staff. Only the two of us knew that they wanted to film Yang Chaoyue's embarrassing performance."

"To be honest, director, I'll only do this once. Yesterday during rehearsal, I promised Jiang Yang that I would take good care of Chaoyue on the show, but in the first episode, they started with Chaoyue. Ugh."

Wang Han then asked, "What about Zhao Lushi, the one Jiang Yang brought? Is there anything planned for her?"

"Don't worry about Zhao Lushi. If there's a topic that leads to her and she responds well, then chat with her more. If not, I'll just give her a few shots. She's too ordinary. She's not as pretty as Chao Yue, she's short, she doesn't have any representative works, and there's nothing to see."

At the junior agent's seat.

Behind Jiang Yang.

Zhao Lushi was amused by the interaction between Jiang Yang and Xue Zhiqian, and she slapped the table and laughed.

Suddenly hearing something, the smile on his face vanished: "Mom..."

He had just uttered the first word.

Yang Chaoyue slapped her thigh and whispered, "There's a camera filming, my god, what's going on?"

"Damn it, someone's cursing me!" Zhao Lushi whispered.

Hear the words.

Yang Chaoyue knew what was going on; Ruth's keen hearing had been triggered: "You heard that again?"

Why criticize Ruth?

Zhao Lushi glanced at Wang Han in the director's seat, then at the control panel:

"Chaoyue, I heard you. The production team is about to target you. It's disgusting. Having to scheme against the production team just to film a variety show. Did you and Jiang Yang prepare any strategies last night? If all else fails, just let me start yelling at you. I'm dying to say it." (End of Chapter)
