Rebirth of Chinese Entertainment, the Diary of a 95 Flower

"How could that be? If Bai Lu came, how could she not tell us? Even if Brother Yang told her, she still wouldn't be able to hold back, unless it's Hao Chun, who keeps everything to herself."

Yang Chaoyue whispered to Zhao Lushi beside him, "Mom, you don't record many variety shows. Look at Yang Ge, he's gone."

"Don't call my mom 'sister,' what if she hears that?"

"We don't have a microphone right now, so we can't hear anything."

Yang Chaoyue chuckled softly.

The first time she called Ruth "Mom," she cowered when "Mom" got angry.

Ever since Yang signed Rose and got her into the [Pretty Girl Battle 4] group, the white paparazzi have been calling Rose "Mom Sister" more often than anyone else.

This actually helped my mother and sister get used to it.

It feels so good to call her "Mom" or "Sister".

The White Dew season is a prime example of this.

In Yang Ge's words, it's pu...pu what was it again?

Yang Chaoyue remembered, that's right, it's the CPU!

Zhao Lushi then noticed that Jiang Yang's seat was now empty in the dim light.

The other guests also reacted enthusiastically.

Guo Xuefu placed her hands on her knees, her eyes sparkling as she stared at the door, a hopeful smile on her lips.

The spotlight moved slowly, illuminating the figure behind the gate.

Just as everyone held their breath, anticipating the appearance of a girl who might be dressed smartly or have a gossipy air, a familiar figure emerged from the darkness.

Jiang Yang, dressed in the exact same clothes as before and carrying a pink women's handbag, spoke in a high-pitched, feminine voice:

"Hello everyone, I'm Bailu, and I'm endorsing my boss! My boss is truly a great boss—not stingy, doesn't exploit employees, and..."

"What the hell! Are you crazy?!"

Xue Zhiqian was the first to react and interrupt, rushing over to kick Jiang Yang: "Jiang Yang, do you have to be so outrageous! What kind of boss dresses up as their own employee? You should at least wear women's clothing!"

"Hahaha!"

The room erupted in laughter, louder than ever before.

It's a variety show.

When someone takes the lead in causing a ruckus, that's what variety shows should be like.

Let's exchange a few playful banter.

Wang Han brought the topic back on track.

He looked at Yang Chaoyue with a gentle smile on his face: "After hearing what Bai Lu said just now, I suddenly realized that the so-called turnaround from adversity is not only about your own efforts, but also about meeting someone who is willing to give you opportunities and help you grow. It is also really important."

He paused, then changed the subject, regaining his hostly humor: "But Jiang Yang, you'd better watch out! If you try to squeeze Bai Lu again, she might really expose you online!"

One sentence made everyone laugh again.

Wang Han raised his hand to check the time.

Two hours of recording have already been completed, which provides enough material for later editing.

He then steered the conversation back to Yang Chaoyue: "But when talking about Chaoyue, we can't help but mention 'Calorie,' a song that was a hit everywhere!"

The voice just fell.

A cheerful melody then began to play.

"Come on, Chaoyue, how about you sing a chorus for everyone?"

Wang Han raised his chin at her.

Yang Chaoyue didn't hesitate. He took the microphone from the staff, took a deep breath, and his energetic voice instantly filled the studio: "Goodbye donuts, bubble tea, instant noodles, hot pot, rice, and big plate chicken, take them all, don't be shy... Burn my calories!"

When the catchy chorus came on, all the agents in the room sang along.

They laughed together.

Sing together.

The footage on the monitor in the control room was incredibly vivid. Xue Zhiqian even stood up, gesturing wildly as he sang along, and even wiggled his hips, eliciting laughter from the entire audience.

In the control room, Li Wei looked at the bustling scene on the monitor and smiled with satisfaction: "Great! This atmosphere is great! Zoom out the wide shot and capture the audience's reactions!"

After finishing the song, Yang Chaoyue was panting, her cheeks flushed.

After the cheers subsided, Wang Han slowly spoke up: "Chao Yue, in our Mars Intelligence Agency, all our agents bring proposals when they come. Did you bring any interesting proposals today?"

Yang Chaoyue's eyes lit up, and he nodded, his tone light and cheerful: "I brought it!"

All eyes in the room instantly focused on her.

All the camera lenses were pointed at her.

Wang Han gestured for him to speak: "Then tell us about it?"

All the lights in the arena suddenly went out, leaving only a spotlight that shone precisely on Yang Chaoyue.

In the darkness, Yang Chaoyue held the microphone and said very seriously, "I've discovered that money really does nourish a person!"

boom!
This statement was like a bomb, exploding in the studio.

The junior agents immediately erupted in discussion, with voices rising and falling.

"Holy crap, you brought this up!"

"Money supports people? Isn't that a bit too blunt?"

Is it appropriate to say this on a variety show?

Xue Zhiqian's eyes widened: "What the hell? Is this topic even allowed to be broadcast? Chaoyue, what you said is even more outrageous than Bailu's."

Guo Xuefu covered her mouth: "Our program is indeed very daring, covering such sensitive topics."

Why is it sensitive? Everyone present knows perfectly well.

The entertainment industry is inherently a place of fame and fortune.

The word "money" is especially taboo.

People either avoid talking about it or use dreams and passion to mask their true feelings.
Yang Chaoyue is the first person to say so bluntly that money is the foundation of life.

If these words were broadcast, they would likely cause a lot of controversy.

Saying she's materialistic or opportunistic will be blown out of proportion and attract attacks from haters.

Yang Chaoyue was about to continue speaking...

"Hey! Wait a minute!" Wang Han suddenly interrupted her.

He frowned, spoke a few words into his headset, and then shouted towards the control room below the stage: "Director! What's going on? Um, let's pause the recording for a bit and everyone take a short break."

Then, he gave Yang Chaoyue an apologetic smile: "Chaoyue, wait a moment, there seems to be a problem at the control room."

After speaking, he quickly stepped off the stage and walked towards the control room.

Yang Chaoyue gripped the microphone, his smile froze for a moment.

Just as Jiang Yang said.

The production team is trying to set her up.

A moment later, Wang Han walked over, shook his head at Chao Yue and Jiang Yang, and lowered his voice: "Chao Yue, Jiang Yang, no, this proposal can't be broadcast. It's too sensitive. In the current public opinion environment, if this gets out, the program will be criticized to death, and the sponsors will also have objections."

Jiang Yang frowned: "Didn't you say it was okay yesterday?"

“Yesterday is yesterday.” Wang Han sighed. “I just got a call from the station saying they’re cracking down on these kinds of topics lately and that we should be careful. There’s nothing we can do; the risks are too high. That’s just how variety shows are—there are so many variables.”

All the hard work and preparation can be wiped out by a single notification.

The more you value an opportunity, the more likely it is to be disrupted by uncontrollable factors.

Yang Chaoyue felt confident; this was the feeling he had when discussing contingency plans with Jiang Yang last night.

Jiang Yang nodded: "It's alright, Chaoyue still has two proposals to make."

Wang Han's expression was solemn.

Jiang Yang paused for a moment: "Brother Han, really? Those other two proposals from Chaoyue won't pass either?" (End of Chapter)
