I, holding the script, kidnapped the male protagonist's benefactor

Chapter 57: Houses Collapse One After Another

Yuan Shenghe and Zhou Yuliang looked at Ji Yu who was coughing, thinking that he was choked by the drink.

Yuan Shenghe took out a piece of paper and handed it to him. Ji Yu took it and wiped the water stains on the corner of his mouth.

"Why do you choke when you drink water? Is it not tasty?"

As Yuan Shenghe said this, he was about to call the staff of the racing track to bring more drinks.

Ji Yu hurriedly tried to stop him. He had already drunk enough this afternoon and didn't want to drink any more, otherwise he would have to go to the bathroom more often.

"No, it's quite delicious. I choked because I heard you guys talking about the talent show on Xingmang TV."

Yuan Shenghe remembered that he had complained to him before that a scout wanted to recruit him and even followed him to the airport.

"The one at the airport?"

Ji Yu nodded, "Yes, it's him."

Zhou Yuliang didn't mind him eavesdropping, but he didn't think he could interrupt their conversation.

"You also know about this talent show?"

Ji Yu told the story of how a scout-like person chased him to the airport and invited him to participate in this talent show.

"That person said his name was Wang Boyang, and he knew the director of the web series that the artist I was filming with was starring in."

Zhou Yuliang thought for a moment and said, "The person you are talking about seems to be from Xingmang TV. I didn't expect that we have this kind of fate."

"Then do you agree? We both attach great importance to this talent show, and we will invest a lot."

He also told Ji Yu the whole story.

If Ji Yu hasn't rejected the other party yet, even if he has, it is not impossible to contact the other party again.

Ji Yu's appearance far exceeded the standards they set at the beginning, so it's no wonder that the people at Xingmang TV took a liking to him.

A good-looking person can attract the attention of most people even if he just sits quietly.

If Ji Yu hadn't been with them, some of the rich second-generations at the racetrack would have probably been unable to resist striking up a conversation with him.

Zhou Yuliang’s words were very clear. If he really wanted to participate, he would open a back door for him for Yuan Shenghe’s sake.

Ji Yu's words were beyond his expectations, "No, I refused."

"Why? With the strength of Genting and Xingmang TV, and the current market, as long as you participate in this talent show, you can gain some fame even if you are a bad debutant."

Zhou Yuliang was very curious about his thoughts.

Ji Yu really had no way to tell him that, besides not being interested, there was another very important reason for his refusal.

In the novel, this talent show, with the operation of capital from multiple parties, did attract huge attention after it was broadcast.

It did become popular later on, but it wasn't because it was well made, nor because of any particular trainee's outstanding talent.

The reason why it became so popular is that the artists and trainees in it failed one after another.

Later, the incident became more and more serious on the Internet, and netizens even joked that the speed at which this variety show was broadcast could not keep up with the speed at which the trainees escaped from the collapsed house.

Later, someone counted carefully and found that the number of trainees who had their reputations ruined accounted for nearly a quarter of all the trainees in this talent show.

The people who selected these trainees to participate in the variety show were jokingly called "a pair of eagle eyes" by netizens.

It’s amazing that so many legal experts can be gathered in one talent show.

Although the program team responded promptly, due to the successive accidents involving trainees, many clips could not even be edited.

In addition, because too many trainees got into accidents, it aroused widespread social concern and caused some adverse effects. In the end, this talent show was suspended before it was finished.

The huge amount of manpower and financial resources that the capitalists invested in publicity in the early stages were all wasted in the end, resulting in heavy losses.

Ji Yu didn’t know the exact amount of the loss, but he knew that there seemed to be some power struggles within Genting Entertainment.

Considering that Zhou Yuliang is Yuan Shenghe's friend, Ji Yu decided to give him a subtle reminder.

"I'm not interested in being a star, and there have been many stars whose reputations have fallen in the past two years. Who knows what kind of people are around you? I still prefer a simpler environment."

But his reminder was so obscure that Zhou Yuliang couldn't get it.

"I see. That's a pity."

Not a pity at all.

Ji Yu looked at him sympathetically.

What he knew was insider information, which an ordinary person would not likely learn in advance, so he couldn't tell the other party directly that this program would cause him heavy losses.

Zhou Yuliang lowered his head and took a sip of the cocktail, not noticing Ji Yu's gaze.

Yuan Shenghe, who was standing by, saw it clearly.

"If you know something, just tell me."

Ji Yu almost choked again. Is this man so sensitive? He can see this!

Zhou Yuliang looked at the two of them suspiciously, "What do you mean?"

Finally, his gaze fell on Ji Yu. From what Lao Yuan said, he knew something but didn't say it.

"What else do you know?"

Ji Yu was sweating profusely after being stared at.

If he didn't show any more, it would be a done deal in the eyes of others.

Especially the other people around are Zhou Yuliang and Yuan Shenghe, each one is more cunning than the other.

"It's okay if you don't want to say it. No one can force you here." Yuan Shenghe's tone was calm, but full of strength and domineering.

Zhou Yuliang's face darkened, and he said aggrievedly: "You make it sound like I'm the kind of person who will do anything to achieve my goal. How can I be moved by the people you brought? Besides, I haven't done anything well. You make it sound like I'm the kind of villain who forces good women into prostitution on the street."

Yuan Shenghe raised his eyebrows slightly: "Don't be too involved."

Zhou Yuliang was not convinced, "You almost named me."

Ji Yu was confused. He felt like the two of them were about to quarrel, so he spoke quickly.

"It's not a big deal, but I'm not sure."

Zhou Yuliang immediately turned his head and looked at him: "Just tell me, I will judge whether it is right or not."

Ji Yu suddenly felt like he was being set up. Could it be that Zhou Yuliang was just pretending? But the words had already been spoken.

"I have seen some publicity about this talent show online before, as well as a list of candidates. I don't know if the list is real, but I think there is a person named Feng Jiale who seems to be a legal expert. I have vaguely read about him, and it seems that he was involved in a drunk driving accident and a domestic violence man, but I am not sure if it is the same person."

This person was the first trainee to get into trouble in this talent show.

The reason is that his past experiences were exposed by someone, and after the talent show became popular, he also became well-known.

Although the Internet has a short memory, it exists at all times. The only difference is whether it has been dug out or not.
