Rebirth of Chinese Entertainment, the Diary of a 95 Flower

“Yes, yes, Jiang Yang is awesome, Teacher Xue, he’s my boss, I…” Zhao Lushi said, then slowed down, then suddenly realized something and muttered, “Teacher Xue, I’m not Yang Chaoyue.”

"Ah? Oh, sorry, sorry, I remembered wrong, I remembered wrong."

Xue Zhiqian recalled the list he had seen from Wang Han.

Jiang Yang, this young man, brought nine guests to this variety show at once, which is truly impressive.

However, the combination of being a top scorer in the college entrance examination, an actor, and a singer can indeed attract enough exposure in the early stages of the broadcast.

Xue Zhiqian immediately changed his tune: "Ruth, I know you. You're very famous."

"Yeah."

Zhao Lushi asked excitedly, "How did you know about me?"

"I……"

Xue Zhiqian was speechless for a moment. It was just a polite formality. How would he know anything about Zhao Lushi?

The main guest on this episode is Director Wang Han, who is actually the host, just in a different role, responsible for controlling the flow of the show and guiding the process.

The deputy directors are Ning Jing and Guo Xuefu. One is a senior in the industry who is responsible for controlling the pace of the discussion, and the other is a female artist from Taiwan who plays the role of the beauty representative.

The rest are high-ranking agents.

They are him, Zhou Jie who played Bao Zheng in "Young Justice Bao" and Er Kang, Qian Feng and Tian Yuan from "Day Day Up", Liu Wei, a singer who debuted with him through a talent show, and Jiang Yang in front of him.

Apart from Qian Feng and Tian Yuanman, who got in through Wang Han's connections, everyone else has representative works and generates a lot of buzz.

As for the hundreds of junior agents, they won't get much screen time and won't be responsible for the core content of the program, so Xue Zhiqian doesn't have that much energy to focus on them.

I had heard Wang Han mention before that Jiang Yang and Yang Chaoyue had a very good relationship.

Yang Chaoyue has great respect for his seniors in the industry and is very polite.

Zhao Lushi was also brought out by Jiang Yang, so she must be the same... Xue Zhiqian forced a smile: "I've heard Brother Han talk about you. You're very cultured, respectful, and have a very pleasant way of speaking."

Zhao Lushi's eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, that's exactly me!"

Happy in my heart.

Especially when she heard Xue Zhiqian agree to take a group photo with Yang Chaoyue, Zhao Lushi pounded on the door even harder: "Hurry up, Chaoyue! Xue Zhiqian is waiting for you, when the hell are you going to stop dawdling? What are you writing, you son of a bitch!"

At first, Xue Zhiqian and Jiang Yang were discussing their respective proposals for appearing on TV shows.

I heard Zhao Lushi say the last few words.

He stared blankly at the girl in front of him who was swearing, his neck stiff, and turned to look at Jiang Yang: "Jiang Yang, Ruth wouldn't talk like that on the show, would she? My God, that's a bit scary."

This is nothing. If you saw Chaoyue's three proposals, it would be even more terrifying... Jiang Yang covered his face: "I'm sorry to have made you laugh. Ruth is like this in private, but she will restrain herself on the show."

How did you sign her?

"She doesn't want a salary."

"what?"

Then, Jiang Yang said, "Ruth's father originally wanted Ruth to sign with Galaxy Cool Entertainment, but Galaxy Cool Entertainment wouldn't let her swear."

Xue Zhiqian was alarmed.

Galaxy Cool Entertainment is the main production company behind "Mars Intelligence Agency".

It's not considered a big company in the industry, but with the backing of Hunan TV, it's much better than the small companies in Jiangyang.

"Is Ruth so obsessed with swearing? This won't do. If she swears on a variety show, it should either be cut out or muted. If it's cut out, that's fine, but if it's muted and the lip movements are left, netizens will notice and she'll easily get criticized, which will damage her reputation. You have to do something about it."

Xue Zhiqian covered his mouth and whispered a reminder.

“I try to control her, but I can’t control her at all. She’s usually fine, but when she gets emotional, she sometimes even yells at me,” Jiang Yang sighed.

"Then you must have a really tough time as a boss," Xue Zhiqian laughed. "I'm not bragging, but everyone in my company treats me with great respect. They only dare to gossip about me behind my back, but in front of me, they'll definitely give me a lot of face..."

Jiang Yang felt a buzzing sound in his ears.

I understand why Xue Zhiqian is so suited for variety shows—because he's so eloquent.

Give them any topic, and they can keep talking. They're so expressive, gesturing wildly, they don't even need to drink water.

The door opened, and Yang Chaoyue, with her hair tied up and holding a math notebook, came out: "Teacher Xue? Hello, Teacher Xue!!!"

"Ah, hello, hello, Chaoyue."

Xue Zhiqian turned to look at Yang Chaoyue and said politely, just about to extend his hand.

Yang Chaoyue, however, bowed to Xue Zhiqian first.

Startled, Xue Zhiqian quickly waved his hands: "Damn, no need to be so polite, no, no, I'm not some big shot."

"I've heard Brother Yang talk about you; you're exceptionally talented." Yang Chaoyue bowed again.

This was taught by Jiang Yang.

When interacting with industry veterans, it's essential to maintain a good attitude.

When I saw Yang Mi earlier, I was just panicked.

Compared to now, I feel much better when I see Xue Zhiqian.

"Your boss was saying that I'm very talented too," Xue Zhiqian said, bowing slightly as well.

"We'll be recording a show together soon, please take good care of me, Teacher Xue."

"Holy crap, what the hell? He's bowing to me again."

Without a second thought, Xue Zhiqian bowed to Yang Chaoyue and then gripped Jiang Yang's shoulders with both hands: "Could you please control Chaoyue? I'm getting old, and my bones can't take this kind of abuse."

He suddenly remembered that he had seen a clip of Yang Chaoyue on the show "Go Fighting!"

Upon seeing Huang Lei, he immediately bowed, knelt, and kowtowed, doing so smoothly that Huang Lei was so frightened that he almost knelt down to Yang Chaoyue as well.

Of the two artists Jiang Yang signed, one of them swore constantly.

His politeness frightened him.

How did Jiang Yang manage to train two artists with such drastically different styles at the same time?

Especially the leap.

If every junior agent does this to him when we get to the studio, he won't be able to straighten his back.

The group took a group photo together.

Zhao Lushi noticed the math notebook in Yang Chaoyue's hand, which was filled with dense formulas and triangles: "Chaoyue, were you just writing this in your room?"

"Yes, that's right!"

When this topic came up, Yang Chaoyue's eyes lit up: "This is an academic problem I discovered."

"Was it your proposal on the show?" Xue Zhiqian asked.

"A proposal? I have a better one, but I actually prefer this one. It's logically rigorous and related to trigonometric functions, so I guess the audience won't be interested."

"Really? Tell me about it."

Jiang Yang's heart tightened at the sight.

Knowing what was about to happen, he urged the group: "Get in the car first, the production crew's car is waiting downstairs. Brother Han has created a group chat for us."

The three of them got into the production crew's car together.

Drive towards the studio.

As Xue Zhiqian listened to Yang Chaoyue holding her math notes and explaining how she figured out why the three sides of an equilateral triangle are not equal, he was completely bewildered.

After getting out of the car, he sidled up to Jiang Yang and said, "Little brother, the two artists you brought this time, one has a nice voice and the other is a top student, they're both talented. How did you manage to put them together?"

“This is nothing. My company has a lot more like this.”

"What the hell?"

Xue Zhiqian opened his mouth slightly, utterly shocked. (End of Chapter)
