Surprise! The top graduates from Peking University and Tsinghua University are actually supported by
Chapter 160: Hypocritical Variety Show
The towering red palace walls reveal solemnity and majesty. The Forbidden City has gone through hundreds of years of ups and downs, and one can only hear the stories of the past through the mottled walls.
After Yi Jie finished her styling, she and Pei Yanan met up with the staff near the Meridian Gate, and then followed him.
By the way, this was her first time in the Forbidden City. Although it was for work, she still had plenty of time to wander around today, since the highlight was not here anyway.
I couldn't help but feel excited. This was the feeling of a government-funded tour. But "Let's Fight Together!" was really rich. They actually got the authorization from the Forbidden City to film a variety show here. I guess they have some strong connections there.
After crossing the Taihe Gate, you can see a magnificent palace in the distance. The golden glazed tiles reflect the light on a sunny day, making it look particularly gorgeous. I guess this must be the Taihe Hall.
The square in front was filled with camera equipment and there were nearly a hundred people bustling about.
The staff led Yi Jie to a short man wearing a hat. "Director, Teacher Yi is here."
The two parties were not familiar with each other and after a few simple greetings, Yi Jie waited aside. As a guest, she needed to wait until the host cue her to appear.
Not long after, two more guests arrived. Yi Jie recognized one of them, a creative talent named He Cheng. Yang Wenjun quite liked listening to her songs.
As for the other Yi Jie, I was a little face-blind. Pei Yanan reminded me that it was Yang Jingyi, a popular contestant in the latest talent show.
Yi Jie understood. No wonder the makeup was so gorgeous. It turned out to be an idol.
The three of them greeted each other politely and waited patiently for their turn on stage.
Yi Jie looked at the row of stars who were talking and laughing in front of the camera. Although not all of them were household names, they were definitely at the top of the entertainment industry pyramid.
The well-known movie emperor Fang Tao, the international top model Aisha, the popular top star An Tianyu, the evergreen tree of the variety show industry Yang Xin, and the well-known big star Yu Wen.
The person in control of the show was naturally handed over to the veteran variety show host Yang Xin. Yi Jie vaguely remembered that 90% of the laughs in this show were basically on Yang Xin. That was only compared to other people, because they were too pretentious and couldn't even make the show a good success.
To put it bluntly, the reason why this show became popular is because of its large fan base and the production team's willingness to spend money to create a grand spectacle. Plus, there are very few outdoor variety shows nowadays, so it naturally stands out.
Yi Jie, as the youngest guest, was the first to appear. She greeted everyone with Yang Xin's joking words.
Aisha and An Tianyu were close to her age and took the initiative to talk to her a few times. Yi Jie really thought they were very friendly.
Unexpectedly, after the scene was finished and the camera was turned off, the happy atmosphere disappeared instantly.
"You've been in the sun for so long today, and I just did whitening yesterday. I'm speechless." Elsa pouted her lips and glanced at Yi Jie's jade-white cheeks, her tone very impatient.
Yi Jie felt the scrutiny and when she looked at Aisha, she glared at her fiercely.
You still have two faces! Yi Jie complained in her heart, the person who praised me just now during the recording must be a ghost.
Assistants from each studio, some moving stools, some holding umbrellas, surrounded their own artists and began to ask about their well-being.
Yi Jie and Yang Jingyi were now standing aside in a really awkward position, and even Pei Yanan and Yang Jingyi's assistant looked particularly weak.
As for He Cheng, since he and Yu Wen were from the same hometown, he had already run over there to start a conversation.
"Don't you think they are more arrogant than the emperor?" Yang Jingyi whispered to Yi Jie.
"A little bit." Yi Jie answered with a smile. The description was quite apt. It was just a variety show, but it was really exaggerated. If you didn't know, you would think it was a drama that was filmed for a day and a night.
"Yi Jie, Yang Jingyi! Would you like some coffee?" Yang Xin waved at the two of them. He always took care of newcomers.
Yi Jie and Yang Jingyi must have learned from their senior. They ran over to take the coffee and thanked him repeatedly.
The two of them sipped their coffee and chatted casually.
"Xiao Jie, should I prepare a set of equipment for you like theirs?" Pei Yanan came over and pointed at Elsa and the others.
To be honest, Pei Yanan looked down on and did not understand the behavior of Aisha and others, but how could our Xiaojie not have what other artists have? Wouldn't this make others look down on her? Brother Bin said that people in the entertainment industry are used to flattering the powerful and trampling on the weak.
"Don't do that. You're like an idiot. You're almost embarrassed." Yi Jie whispered hurriedly in her ear.
Pei Yanan was amused by Yi Jie's tone and burst out laughing. She glanced over there and said cheerfully, "That's right. I don't know how strong the sun is in December. You can't stay in the sun for even a minute longer."
Before the director asked everyone to rush to the next activity point, he walked up to Yang Jingyi with a difficult look on his face and said something, and Yang Jingyi's expression changed immediately.
"Really! This is too much..." Yang Jingyi's assistant's voice went from high-pitched to low in just one second, all because his own artist pulled his sleeve.
Not long after, Yi Jie discovered that Yang Jingyi called a makeup artist to perform on-the-spot makeup changes.
If Yang Jingyi's previous youthful and beautiful idol makeup gave him a 9-point advantage in appearance, it was only 7-points left after the makeup change. Yi Jie took a closer look and found that the foundation seemed to be painted a darker shade.
Yang Jingyi returned to the team with a cold face, glanced at An Tianyu, and then looked away.
Yi Jie was secretly shocked. She already understood about 70% of it. She didn't expect that she would have to put on makeup even when filming a variety show. An Tianyu, who was walking in front, was chatting with the movie emperor Fang Tao in a humble and friendly manner. He didn't look like a petty person at all. It turned out that the entertainment industry was still a place where people act according to the situation.
In this light, Elsa's few sarcastic remarks to her didn't seem so excessive.
Feeling more and more bored, Yi Jie followed the script and completed the group activity like a puppet, and finally it was time for her to do her personal tasks.
After being repeatedly reminded by Pei Yanan to be safe, Yi Jie took her own camera and began to stroll around the Forbidden City. The cameraman was completely confused by the young and beautiful female artist's bad behavior, but he also knew that not much of Yi Jie's material could be edited in, so he just completed the task symbolically without saying anything more.
Many palaces were under renovation and therefore blocked, but fortunately, most of what Yi Jie wanted to see was accessible.
While strolling along the way, Yi Jie was looking at the intricately carved and luxurious decorations in the Yikun Palace and recalling the lovable and hated villain queens in the palace fighting dramas she had watched before, when she heard a commotion outside.
Attracted by the sound, I walked out of Yikun Palace and saw Aisha and He Cheng arguing outside. The two photographers next to them shrank like quails, trying to reduce their presence.
"I was clearly the first one to see this clue! What do you mean by intercepting?" He Cheng pointed at Elsa, looking annoyed.
"First come, first served. It's your fault for being slow. You've always been wishful thinking and like to compete with me without even considering whether you deserve it or not." Elsa retorted unceremoniously, with contempt in her eyes.
The two usually portrayed the characters of smart and witty goddesses, so neither of them was willing to give in, and they just wanted to be more outstanding in the show. On the other hand, the difference in status was not big, so they couldn't lose face.
Yi Jie quietly retreated back to the door. She didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing where a female artist was pulling her hair, as who knows how many troubles might arise later.
At the end of the incident, Elsa made a phone call and then spoke a few words to He Cheng. Then He Cheng left angrily and glared at the complacent Elsa before leaving.
Yi Jie didn't hear clearly what was said on the phone, she only knew it was a man. She ate her fill of melons and waited until the man had completely left before she stepped out of Yikun Palace.
This crappy variety show has so many weird things going on. The Country Life Diary is more interesting!
The variety show was recorded until 10 o'clock in the evening, but Yi Jie was eliminated halfway through according to the procedure. She basically played with her phone in the lounge and didn't feel tired at all.
Usually, after the recording of a major program is finished, a dinner party will be arranged to reward the guests, and this time is no exception.
The dinner was held in a secluded VIP private restaurant. The environment was very elegant and the food looked very exquisite.
Yi Jie and Pei Yanan were concentrating on eating and didn't participate in any hypocritical business flattery. Fortunately, she was a bit confused and no one talked to her except Yang Jingyi who was sitting next to her.
The dinner lasted for two hours. Yi Jie really admired these people. How could they be so talkative? They must have nothing to do. She had already eaten and drunk her fill and wanted to go home.
When they walked out of the restaurant door and headed for the parking lot, something unexpected happened. Aisha, who was drunk and supported by her assistant in front of Yi Jie, was abducted into a car by a masked man in a speeding van!
