American TV series: Starting with exploiting young Sheldon

"That's good~" Coach George nodded, his expression still very tense.

This is understandable, given that he was relatively unknown during his time as a professional rugby player.

Later, when he became a college football coach, his team's performance was consistently poor, and he was even fired by the college team.

Who would have thought that, after being relegated to playing for a high school football team, he would find his moment of glory here?

Winning the college summer league championship is a prestigious honor.

Just as Coach George was reflecting on life, the Melford players were embracing and celebrating, and the audience was cheering, a temporary podium had been set up in the center of the field where the match had just taken place.

Then, surrounded by his teammates, Mike and Coach George stood in the middle of the podium, with the still excited players around them.

Next, witnessed by the media and spectators, representatives of the league organizers presented each member of the Melford rugby team with a small gold medal.

The last golden trophy was handed to Coach Mike and Coach George.

Amidst fluttering ribbons, the moment when Mike and Coach George raised the trophy high was captured by countless flashing cameras at the scene.

"Thank you, Mike. You're the best player I've ever coached, bar none," Coach George exclaimed suddenly.

It's worth noting that Coach George, who has dedicated himself to rugby for many years, is experiencing this sense of accomplishment for the first time in the sport.

After the awards ceremony, it was time for interviews with the champion team.

In an instant, Mike was surrounded by a dense array of microphones.

Given his powerful physique and fighting prowess, the reporters bombarded him with countless strange questions, leaving him utterly bewildered.

This is really more tiring than playing another game.

Finally, during a break in the reporters' questions, Mike spotted Principal Sam and a group of school teachers standing not far away.

Clearly, the teachers at Melford High School took this important game very seriously, and even formed a team to come to the stadium to support their school.

"Wait a minute, everyone~" Mike pushed his way through the crowd to the middle of the teaching staff and said to the reporters who had followed him, "These are my teachers at Melford High School. This is Principal Sam, and this is the Dean of Students..."

"The Melford rugby team has achieved its current success thanks to their help. So feel free to ask them any questions you may have about the team."

Mike used a clever tactic of shifting the blame, putting the school teachers in front while he himself took a step back.

Of course, what Mike found troublesome was a chance for the school teachers to get exposure and promote the school.

Anyway, the smile on Principal Sam's face showed that he was very happy.

Chapter 296 Unexpected Visitor

Many students from Melford High School came to watch the game, especially Mike's classmates. After identifying themselves, they were given special permission to enter the venue to celebrate together.

Mia, Lina, and Peggy were among them.

Seeing that Mike was free, Mia ran over and gave him a hug.

At the same time, Lina was also captivated by Mike's dazzling charm today, and couldn't help but walk to Mike's other side and hug him.

Then, the scene of Mike with one woman on each side was captured by the reporters' cameras.

When Mike led his team to a resounding victory in today's Summer League livestream, it was already clear that he would become a household name in Texas for some time to come.

At the same time, his spirit of "resistance" may even become a "totem" for many people to follow.

And with such a rising superstar, his scandalous news is sure to be a hot topic.

Many reporters have even come up with headlines for their tabloid stories.

Amazing! The Wonder Boy and His Princesses.

The Untold Story of the Wonder Boy and the Girls!!

"The Secret to the Magical Power of the Wonder Boy!"...

Never trust the professional ethics of journalists who are only thinking about making a big news story.

Mike, of course, had no idea what the reporters were up to. After spending some time with the two girls, he went over to the Melford students who were watching him expectantly and gave them a high-five in celebration.

"Congratulations, Mike, you did it! You've become a hero..."

When Mike finally had some free time again, Jack from the state television station came over and offered his best wishes.

"Thank you~" Mike stepped forward and hugged the other person as well.

The two have known each other for over a year and are now considered "comrades-in-arms".

“Another piece of good news: your documentary should be on TV next week. For the foreseeable future, you’ll definitely be the hottest ‘star’ in Texas,” Jack said with a smile.

The fact that Mike's documentary was produced so quickly is also due to Jack's gamble.

Yes, Jack had bet a few weeks ago that Mike could lead Melford to the finals, and it was from that time that he rallied his teammates to start making a documentary.

As the saying goes, opportunity favors the prepared mind.

Fortunately, Jack made the right bet again this time.

In fact, things turned out even better than he had imagined.

As Mike's fame continues to rise, the credit for producing that documentary will become a valuable asset for him to advance further in television.

Next, Jack told Mike about the sales of his posters and then left in a hurry.

He needs to return to the TV station as soon as possible to finalize the documentary project.

The celebration at the Texas Arena lasted for more than an hour before Mike, along with his teammates and students and teachers from Melford, boarded a bus and began their journey home.

At the Melford campus, many students who had watched the Summer League at home gathered here, waiting for the rugby team to return so they could celebrate together again.

It's safe to say that rugby is indeed the most popular sport in the United States, with an influence that's hard to imagine.

Once the bus convoy entered the campus, the students who were waiting there surrounded the convoy like zombies besieging a city.

"Listen up, everyone, our team needs rest. We'll save the celebration for later..."

The great honors the football team brought to the school revitalized Tom, the old principal.

At this moment, he stood on the bus, beaming, and announced to the students below: "Next Friday, a grand bonfire party will be held on campus to thank all members of the rugby team for the honors they have won for the school. You are welcome to bring your friends and family to join the festivities."

To be honest, Tom truly lives up to his reputation as the old headmaster.

By leveraging the popularity of the rugby team, organizing a group event at school to share glory can easily foster a sense of belonging and identity among students.

By doing this, perhaps more than a decade from now, many of the students from this class will still remember this summer.

Upon hearing that the celebration was scheduled for next Friday, the surrounding students cheered for a while before temporarily letting the returning rugby players off the hook.

As the days went by, the rugby team members became the most popular people in the school in the following week.

Many students, out of their admiration for Michael, even formed groups to ask him for autographs.

After a few days of buzz, Mike has become a genuine "star" of popularity.

At the same time, in preparation for Friday's celebrations, various ribbons and banners were gradually hung up on campus.

Various clubs and classes have also begun to urgently rehearse their programs in preparation for performing at Friday's celebration.

As time went on, students' enthusiasm for the celebrations became no less than their love for Christmas.

Finally, Friday afternoon arrived, and everything was ready for the celebration, including venue setup, program arrangements, safety, props, and costumes.

A decent-looking temporary stage appeared in the center of the school playground. A lot of effort had been put into the lighting, curtains, and stage design.

It's clear that the school allocated a significant amount of funds for this celebration.

As night fell, the playground was already filled with people who came to celebrate, including students from the school as well as many new faces.

According to the former principal, today's celebration will not exclude people from outside the school.

"Good evening, everyone..."

With the opening remarks, Dean Tim appeared on stage to act as the host.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Principal Tom was invited to the stage to give a speech.

Then, the former principal and the host extended an invitation to all the members of today's main characters, the rugby team, to come on stage.

Amidst applause from the audience, dozens of team members dressed in rugby uniforms walked out from the crowd and went to the center of the stage to receive cheers from the crowd.

Next, head coach George, dressed in a sharp suit, and his assistant coach walked onto the stage from the side.

What followed was a series of remarks.

George, the team's head coach, and Mike, the team's current captain, received special attention.

This segment was one of the main events of tonight's show, so it took a long time.

Out of their love for the team, the audience continuously offered enthusiastic applause during this segment.

After all the team members had shared their thoughts, the evening began with the performances.

"Next up, the first performers are outstanding alumni who just graduated this year. They're a group, and this summer they've created a youth storm across the country..."

After a lengthy introduction of their titles, Tim announced loudly, "Please welcome the Devil Body Duo to perform 'Love Story'!"

With several hit songs written for them by Mike, the Devil Body Girls successfully released their first album, "Small Town Girls," this summer.

With their youthful and beautiful appearance and refreshing song style, they have stirred up a youth storm across the country.

In the three months since the album's release, they have sold over 600,000 copies.

This is something almost unimaginable for a new group.

Given their current achievements, even though Regina and her two friends did not actually receive high school diplomas, Melford High School has already listed them as honorary alumni.

Mike, who was sitting with Mia below the stage, had been feeling increasingly uneasy listening to the host's words. Sure enough, when he looked up, he saw three beautiful girls walking out from behind the stage curtain.

Chapter 297 Meeting

Accompanied by light and melodious music, three girls dressed in a fresh and beautiful style, like friendly older sisters next door, appeared on the stage.

They have shed their youthful naiveté from their school days, and their singing skills and overall demeanor have greatly improved.

Or rather, it's become more professional.

After finishing a love song, the "Devilish Figures" duo sang two new songs from the album.

Next, for their fourth song, the Devil Body Duo chose to perform their Christmas single, "We Wish You A Merry Christmas," which they released when they were still in school.

Before the performance, the girls looked at Mike sitting in the audience and enthusiastically invited him to come up on stage and perform with them.

Students at Melford High School all know that Devil Body was very close to Michael last year. Furthermore, Michael wrote and composed the lyrics for Devil Body's Christmas single last year.

Therefore, the students, who love a good show, were happy to see Mike and the devilishly fit duo's powerful performance.

Mike was completely stunned. He had not been informed in advance that the three girls from the "Devil Body Group" would be at the celebration.

Seeing the cheers from the surrounding audience and the eager expressions of the three girls on stage, Mike quietly apologized to Mia beside him before getting up and walking onto the stage.

"What are you guys doing?" Mike asked quietly during a break in the music.

"Surprise~ How about this surprise? Karen and I prepared it especially for you..." Regina's eyes held a hint of slyness.

The hype surrounding the new album by the "Devil Body" duo hasn't died down yet. In order to achieve even higher sales, they should be performing and promoting the new album in major cities across the country during this period.

Their presence here at this moment is clearly intended to surprise Mike.

However, for Mike right now, this kind of surprise is more of a shock than a joy.

Before the two on stage could exchange more words, the intro to the Christmas song "We Wish You A Merry Christmas" began to play.

This song, released last Christmas by the three members of the Devil Body Group, sold quite well in Texas, and it's been almost a year since its release.

Therefore, this song is not unfamiliar to many students and audience members below.

Therefore, this heartwarming Christmas song ended up being sung by everyone.

With the end of this song, the performance by the "Devil Body" group for today has also come to a close.

The three girls, after finishing their performance, did not go backstage, but instead went with Mike to sit in the audience.

The stage was reserved for various clubs and classes, who took turns performing their pre-prepared programs.

During the intermissions of each program, the temporary host, Mr. Tim, would also take the time to play some number games and riddles with the audience, engaging their enthusiasm.

Judging from the continuous cheers at the scene, the school's celebration was a great success.

"How did you end up here?" Mike, surrounded by three girls in the audience, asked the question that had been bothering him.
