Chapter 136 Instructor Chi Makes a Powerful Debut!
The so-called Xiang You took to the stage to perform, and the judges displayed their acting skills to the fullest.

While others participate in variety shows to test their acting skills, Xiang You participates in variety shows to test the acting skills of the mentors.

I'd like to see who dares to laugh out loud and then they can forget about going back to Hong Kong!

Everyone turned around at the sound: "?!"

Xiang You also stopped and saw Chi Ye and Teacher Wu. His eyes lit up, and he shouted, tossing his hair, "Chi Ye! Brother, you're finally here!"

Chiye: "?"

He noticed the strange looks from the crowd and quickly waved his hand, saying, "Don't misunderstand, we're just ordinary friends."

"hehe."

Sheng Ning sneered, thinking to herself that Xiang Tai didn't seem like someone who couldn't afford an ultrasound. Could it be that when he had his C-section, the anesthesia was actually injected into Xiang You's head?!

It's true what they say: cats look for cats, dogs look for dogs, and mice are friends with other mice.

Two such talented players, it's no wonder they "appreciate each other".

"Hey Xiang You, your performance... well, it still has a few flaws. Why did you rush here?"

When Teacher Wu saw Xiang Youdu approaching, there was no way to avoid him. She could only furrow her brow and try to express herself as "tactfully" as possible: "What are you acting?!"

Everyone: "..."

As expected of Teacher Wu, he doesn't plan to go back to Hong Kong anymore!

Xiang You wasn't embarrassed at all; he simply said, "I've been in seclusion for seven years, and I feel like I'm really ready now!"

Ikeno asked curiously, "You could be a comedian?"

Xiang You gave him a resentful look: "We're brothers, you... never mind, be fair, it's fair to the other contestants too."

Chiye: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Well, another one who can't go back to Hong Kong... Oh, sorry, Ikeno isn't from Hong Kong.

That's fine.

At this moment, Xiang You's gaze was fixed on Teacher Zeng, filled with earnestness and expectation.

Teacher Zeng's facial features twitched slightly, but compared to Teacher Wu, he was the one with truly high emotional intelligence.

"Xiang You, it's clear you put in a lot of effort for your performance this time, and there were quite a few highlights... However, if you polished some of the details a bit more, it could have been even more outstanding."

Teacher Zeng pinched her nose and said, "I'm a little curious. When you were preparing for this performance, was the time a bit tight? I feel that if you had more time to refine it, it would definitely be perfect."

High emotional intelligence!!

As expected of a seasoned veteran, his speaking skills are truly impressive.

"Thank you, Teacher Zeng!"

Xiang You was moved, and then Teacher Zhang and Jiang Kaige also gave a few comments, and also gave Xiang You a star rating for this performance, a total of five stars, as it was time to show his understanding of human relationships.

However, Ikeno didn't pay attention to any of that, because his gaze was drawn to three other figures.

—Lin Zeyu, Su Ran, and Chicken Claw Sister-in-law.

At this moment, the three of them were staring at him expectantly, wearing the clothes of the male and female protagonists of "Loop" plus Officer Zhang.

Chiye: "?"

So you guys are the last ones?

"Hmm, there's one more set."

At this point, everyone had finished giving Xiang You a star, and all eyes were on the three of them.

The idols, internet celebrities, and "actors" who had already been criticized also came over one after another, glancing at Chi Ye from time to time, watching the commotion.

Yangzi snorted angrily—why is his good brother ignoring him?!
Really!

All my support for you has been for nothing!

Chi Ye didn't notice that Teacher Yang Zi was already feeling a little emotional. At this moment, he looked at Lin Zeyu and the other two, feeling a bit confused as well.

Why are you guys putting on "Loop" again?
Isn't this just plain trying to make me look bad?
The three of them couldn't talk much right now, and seeing so many people staring at them, their already incredibly awkward "performance" immediately became even more stiff.

Lin Zeyu: "We're stuck in a cycle!"

Su Ran: "How can you prove it?"

Chicken Claw Sister: "We're really stuck in a loop... um... we... um..."

Oh no, I've even forgotten my lines, it's like I'm just reciting a textbook.

"Ah~"

Teacher Wu shook her head and covered her eyes.

Jiang Kaige cleared his phlegm.

Sheng Ning and Li Qian both looked at Chi Ye without saying a word, their meaning clear: This is the creature you brought, it's quite human-like.

Chino asked in confusion, "You guys are... just putting on a show without actually acting?"

"Is it because the lines are too difficult to pronounce? You can't even speak properly anymore?"

Lin Zeyu and the other two lowered their heads in shame. Seeing that the two of them had such a good "opportunity" but didn't even know how to cherish it, Chicken Claw Sister immediately chimed in, "Captain, we've embarrassed Rise!"

"It's okay, hasn't Rise already embarrassed itself enough?"

"puff."

Li Qian couldn't help but burst out laughing, then awkwardly covered her mouth.

The comments section couldn't hold back either.

"Haha, hasn't Rise embarrassed itself enough already?"

"This is hilarious! These two honest guys at Rise really don't have any work, but their captain is a genius!"

"Rise's acting is really terrible. Ikeno is actually the most convincing actress in the show?"

"Stop making baseless accusations; Lao Peng isn't bad either."

"Don't bother arguing with early-stage cancer if you're in the late stage; they're about the same."

"The mentors are all numb, haha."

At this moment, the mentors were indeed a little numb.

After regaining her composure, Teacher Wu gestured, "Shall we give it a star?"

"let's hit."

Teacher Zhang sighed and shook her head – "Where are the real actors in this show?"
Is Ikeno a real actor?
Thinking this, she glanced at Chi Ye and found that Chi Ye actually praised Lin Zeyu and the others: "Your acting was actually quite good."

Lin Zeyu and the others looked up, moved: "Captain, you don't need to..."

"This is the rating I gave."

Ikeno revealed his rating: five stars, but only one was lit up.

Everyone was stunned.

Lin Zeyu opened his mouth: "Isn't it...not bad? One star? That's the lowest level."

Chi Ye shook his head: "This isn't one star, it's six stars."

"Huh? Six stars?"

Everyone was even more confused.

Li Qian couldn't help but ask curiously, "The highest rating seems to be only five stars, and you only selected one star."

“Yes, six stars,” Ikeno explained. “This is the extra one.”

Everyone: "..."

Li Qian looked at Chi Ye with interest.

Oh dear, I've lost my composure.

Why is Ikeno's mouth so funny?

The show's director was beaming with joy, slapping his thigh in disbelief: "Damn! That's Ikeno's talent!"

Inviting him was absolutely the right decision!

……

at the same time.

Outside the bathroom.

Shang Jie's agent sat in the chair, finally waiting for Shang Jie and her assistant Xiao Wang, who had just finished their business at the office countless times.

"Hey, isn't that the bot lane duo of marksmen?"

Sister Shang: “…”

Xiao Wang covered his face.

"Sister, please don't say that about us. We know we were wrong."

Sister Shang looked dejected, embarrassed, and aggrieved: "I shouldn't have eaten it. I confess, I'm guilty!"

"You issue 'self-reproach edicts' every day, is that even useful?"

The agent was annoyed, but seeing her pale face, she asked with concern, "Are you alright? Are you sure you don't need to go to the hospital?"

"It's nothing, it's just... the top lane is a bit difficult, so I dealt damage for a while longer."

"Your descendant, huh? Multiple arrows, huh?"

Sister Shang stammered, "Don't say anymore, sis... I... let's go in and record."

"Recording?" Seeing that she was still in the mood to joke, the manager knew that there was no major problem and said speechlessly, "They've already finished this part of the process, let's wait for them to come out."

"Oh? That's pretty fast."

When Sister Shang heard that it was all over, she was both angry and annoyed—she had missed out on so much gossip because she wasn't with Chi Ye this time!

Damn diarrhea combo!

I'm going to be a Burger King spokesperson tomorrow!
Thinking this, Sister Shang became dejected again. Fortunately, Chi Ye and the others came out after a short while.

—The mentors, advisors, and actors' "first" encounter concluded, and the film studio segment temporarily ended. Everyone then traveled together to the studio to continue recording. On the way, Chi Ye, Sister Shang, and Teacher Wu boarded a large bus.

The two sat together, and Sister Shang, unable to contain her curiosity and regret, pressed Chi Ye for an answer: "How was it? What big scoop happened inside?!"

"It's nothing, just a normal recording."

Ikeno thought about it and realized that nothing really happened, it was just... a group of strange-looking fake people performing.

Sister Shang didn't believe her and was getting a little frustrated: "Just tell me!"

"No, really... Oh right."

Suddenly remembering something, Ikeno asked her with concern, "Did you carry?"

"what?"

Sister Shang was taken aback: "What Carry..."

Chi Ye asked in confusion, "Aren't you a little archer?"

Shang Jie: "?!!"

She instinctively covered her mouth, then realized her mistake and quickly and carefully lowered it, her eyes already radiating murderous intent: "You...how did you know?!"

Ikeno: "...You washed it by hand, right?"

Shang Jie has really become famous. This is the first time Chi Ye has ever seen Shang Jie, who has such a good temper, get angry.

She angrily turned her head away and started moaning to herself.

Chi Ye regretted asking the question, but after thinking for a moment, he comforted him, "I'll tell you something juicy."

Shang Jie remained silent, but her eyes unconsciously glanced at Chi Ye. When she noticed that Chi Ye was paying attention to her, she immediately looked away and continued to keep a straight face.

Ikeno: "...Fine, don't listen then."

"...Never mind, never mind."

Shang Youshu muttered something, but less than five minutes later, she couldn't hold back any longer. She nudged Chi Ye a few times and asked in a low voice, "Um... tell me about it, I just want to hear one."

Chi Ye raised her eyelids, then lowered them again: "I won't say."

He realized that Sister Shang had a really good temper. People are often bullied because they are kind, so he wouldn't be polite either!

Shang Youshu: "...Fine, I won't say it then. Who cares to listen!"

She turned her head away and continued her emo, sadly murmuring, "My whole life has been like walking on thin ice. Do you think I can ever reach the other side?"

"...You should leave the restroom first."

"Ikeno!"

“Hmm…” Chi Ye cursed himself for being so loose-tongued. After thinking for a moment, he said, “Yang Zi’s ex-wife didn’t come because he participated in this variety show. I heard she even smashed a cup with the production team.”

"Um?!"

Sister Shang's eyes lit up, and she immediately leaned in to listen.

Chi Ye remained unfazed: "Yang Zi just acted like a hooligan in public, which terrified the international film queen."

"Tell me in detail how you acted like a thug!"

"This can't be broadcast... You should be able to find clips by searching."

"What else is there?"

"Teacher Lü and Lin Jingyi broke up, and she's been having a tough time lately, which is why she came to this variety show."

"Oh, I've heard of that too."

"Yes... that's all. I'll let you know as soon as I have any next time."

"……OK then."

Shang Youshu was still not satisfied and felt that this was not enough.

But seeing that Chi Ye looked like he was really gone, she couldn't force him and could only reluctantly stop asking.

And so, they remained silent the entire way.

Half an hour later, we returned to the studio.

Everyone took their seats in turn, with Ikeno sitting in the "judges' seat," while the five mentors occupied the central position at the front.

As for the 46 actors, they were seated in the hall, all noisy and chatting. Even before the show started, they were all socializing.

Yang Zi sat on the side, looking at the group of unknown actors, idols, and internet celebrities around him. His face was displeased, and he sneered inwardly, "What kind of status do you have? You dare to sit with me?"
Damn, this is kind of like that talent show 101... Too bad, he's just a "contestant".

He glanced at Ikeno on the "judges' panel" and winked at him frantically.

Chino asked curiously, "Is there something wrong with his eyes?"

"Hmph, he probably wants you to help him."

Sheng Ning sneered: "But you are indeed capable of doing such a thing."

Chiye: "?"

I slept with you.
He was puzzled. Just because I rubbed against you, you have such a big prejudice against me?

Okay... although I later learned that he did try to take advantage of me quite "aggressively," didn't you already "get back at" me at the Scream Night event?
As expected, the Empress Dowager was right; Sheng Ning was indeed too petty.

He glanced at the cigarette Sheng Ning had just lit and said "kindly," "Don't smoke it and get lung cancer."

Sheng Ning glanced at him with her phoenix eyes, her thin lips curving slightly: "Don't like it? I did it on purpose."

Chiye: "???"

ill?!
Sheng Ning actually started smoking in public, not afraid of being exposed... She's probably been exposed several times already, and the public already knows she has this habit.

But this kind of indoor space…

He felt that Sheng Ning was indeed mentally ill, inexplicably throwing around some negative things outside just to "get back at him."
Chun Chun is mentally unstable!
He didn't say anything more and waited quietly for the recording to begin inside.

I must say, sitting in this spot and looking at the actors in the audience... it really gives me a feeling I've never had before.

He used to be one of those people too.

……

"Oh dear... what are we going to do when we introduce ourselves? Are we going to have to tag along with the team leader?"

With Mr. Jiang and Ms. Shen absent from the audience, Zhang Xianming has clearly become the "backbone" of this Rise group.

He was surrounded by a group of Rise people... Xiang You was also there.

As for why he was there, don't ask. The answer is that he insisted on coming over—he was just too curious about the group his "brother" used to lead!

"What's the big deal? Just give a normal introduction. We didn't get in through connections!"

Xiang You spoke with absolute certainty.

The Rise members glanced at him and fell silent.

Lin Zeyu and Su Ran, two honest men, were a little nervous in front of Xiang You, while Chicken Claw Zhang flattered, "That's true, we all got in based on our acting skills."

Xiang You gave him a strange look: "Don't try to get close to me, I don't want to be brothers with someone like you."

Chicken Claw Zhang: "..."

Damn it, are you discriminating against us chicken feet sellers?!
As they were talking, the production team announced that the official recording in the studio had begun.

However, the first "self-introduction" segment that everyone had imagined did not occur.

Sheng Ning walked onto the stage and looked around.

The previously slightly noisy crowd fell silent instantly, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

This is the aura of a top-tier celebrity, the leader of the four little actresses, which is even more intense when paired with her beautiful and delicate, but slightly harsh, face.

She glanced around and said only one sentence: "Among the 46 actors present, who has had plastic surgery? Those who have had plastic surgery, please stand up and go up the steps at the back."

The scene fell even quieter, and no one stood up.

Li Qian added: "Minor adjustments also count, such as double eyelid surgery, bone reduction, making the body bigger or smaller, all of these count."

The atmosphere at the scene was almost frozen.

Chi Ye glanced at Lin Jingyi, who was fidgeting and hesitating in her seat, paused, and then added, "Does a head transplant not count?"

"Hahaha."

Laughter erupted from the audience, easing the tense atmosphere. Even Li Qian, who had been keeping a straight face, smiled.

Chi Ye directly called out, "Lin Jingyi, you've already admitted it, why are you still putting on airs? Shall I come and invite you?"

Swish swish.

The camera immediately focused entirely on Lin Jingyi.

"..."

Lin Jingyi was taken aback, then realized what was happening. She looked at Chi Ye with a complex mix of emotions and gratitude, and silently stood up: "I...I've had plastic surgery."

Sheng Ning nodded, then looked at the others.

Everyone looked at each other.

"Hmm... one injection doesn't count, right?"

"Yes, I had cosmetic procedures done, not plastic surgery..."

"Oh dear... I'm suffocating, it's so strict..."

"I suddenly really want to join Chi Ye's group. Compared to Teacher Sheng Ning, Teacher Chi seems so much gentler..."

"Then you're not familiar with him yet..."

"Ikeno isn't in a group, is he? He's part of the advisory team, not a mentor..."

"Really? I remember it being possible... I'm not sure."

Hearing the buzzing from the audience, Sheng Ning frowned: "Is there no one else?!"

Everyone fell silent again, and the atmosphere became suffocating once more.

Shang Youshu, who hadn't spoken until now, blinked, thought for a moment, and still didn't say anything.

She really can't do this... It has to be someone like Sheng Ning, with a strong presence and who isn't afraid of offending people.
