Chapter 137 Sheng Ning Tears Chi Ye Apart
"If no one is there, I can call on someone."

Sheng Ning glanced around and was surprised to find herself feeling the terror of being called out by the homeroom teacher.

"It's alright, everyone don't need to be nervous, just relax."

Chi Ye watched as Sheng Ning played the bad cop, and Shang Jie immediately shut down her microphone, so he could only play the good cop. But what he said was hard to believe, coming from a mouth with a 36° angle: "Teacher Sheng Ning probably can't remember that many names."

The audience members instinctively laughed out loud, but then quickly realized what was happening, their faces turned pale, and they all composed themselves, bowing their heads and pretending to be dead.

Sheng Ning glanced at Chi Ye: "I really can't remember that many."

"Yes."

Chi Ye pulled a small notebook out of his pocket: "It's okay, I've written it all down."

"Hahaha."

The audience burst into laughter again, but this time, after the laughter subsided, everyone's faces looked worse than if they were crying.

"I...I also had it done."

A minor internet celebrity timidly raised her hand and stood up. She was also known for having undergone cosmetic surgery. She had actually regretted it a little earlier, as Lin Jingyi had snatched this opportunity to "get the spotlight" first.

Seeing that Ikeno had brought out the "list," I finally understood.

If I can't be number one, I'll be number two!

"I've had it done too."

Sister Qing felt she had to support the captain, and said with her head held high, "But I didn't get my face done, I got my breasts and buttocks done, which is one of those things where the body gets bigger or smaller!"

"Also, I recommend the cosmetic clinic I went to; the results are really realistic..."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Seeing that the production crew's security was about to approach, Chicken Claw Zhang quickly tugged at Sister Qing's sleeve, signaling: That's enough, this is going too far!
Aunt Qing also cleverly stopped herself... Hmm, someone will definitely come looking for her later.

I'm asking you!
Upon seeing this, the show's director flew into a rage: "What kind of 'sister-in-law' is this? Doesn't she know that we're always the ones who piggyback on others' fame? When have others ever piggybacked on our fame? Cut her out! Keep only the eye-catching alterations to her body size, and cut out all the advertisements!"

"Where's Chicken Feet Zhang? He eats chicken feet all the time..."

"It's okay, just Photoshop our show's logo onto his head!"

"..."

the other side.

You've become arrogant.

Chi Ye thought to himself that it was inconvenient for him to comment on this matter, and looked at Sheng Ning.

Sheng Ning snorted, still wearing a sour face.

Seeing this, Li Qian coughed twice: "...It's only human nature."

"Hahaha."

The audience laughed for the third time, but this time the atmosphere became more harmonious, and several more of the renovation masters who had been criticized before stood up.

One bold female idol couldn't help but ask Chi Ye, "Teacher Chi, did you really prepare a list?"

"Of course not, how could I possibly know about such private matters?"

"then you……"

"Tie Tie, I like to tell little lies."

Ikeno frankly admitted, "I didn't expect there to be so many people; I really can't remember them all."

"Cough cough... Hmph..."

Li Qian has a low threshold for laughter, and she really didn't expect that Chi Ye could come up with such a bizarre move... No, she was wondering earlier that he hadn't taken notes when they were discussing it backstage.

It's obvious that the participating actors wouldn't report such a thing to them.
Sheng Ning glanced at Chi Ye indifferently without saying a word, but sneered inwardly. Indeed, he was clearly not a good person; he used such underhanded tricks so casually.

"Ms. Sheng Ning, are you in a bad mood? Why do you have such a long face?"

When Chi Ye saw Sheng Ning's "sour face," he felt inexplicably uncomfortable, as if she was deliberately putting him on a pedestal.

When Sheng Ning saw him take the initiative to talk to her, she instinctively retorted, "You didn't do anything, did you?"

Ikeno: "What? You touched it?!"

"Ha ha…"

"!!"

Everyone laughed at first, then immediately looked at Ikeno with astonishment.

Can't you just give a direct rebuttal?

They are them, and Sheng Ning is Sheng Ning!
The show's director suddenly clapped his hands: "Damn! Chi Ye is amazing! How did he know we were going to create a gimmick about conflicts between the advisory group mentors?!"

Everyone: "..."

On the field, upon hearing these words, Sheng Ning's phoenix eyes flashed with anger, but not from resentment, but from embarrassment and annoyance.

You don't know whether I've touched it or not?

What are you pretending for? Do you think this is a place called Yue Na?!
Son of a bitch!
"Um... let's move on to the next question."

Li Qian, watching from the side, was a little frightened and quickly changed the subject.

Sheng Ning calmly said, "What did you mean? Did you have murderous intent? Yes, I did."

"OMG...!"

Everyone present gaped in disbelief. The previously listless Shang Jie's eyes lit up, and she stared intently at Chi Ye and Sheng Ning—Holy crap! I knew it! With Chi Ye around, there would never be any boredom.

They've started fighting! The two advisory groups started arguing even before the show aired!

Great deal! Keep playing!!
Upon hearing this, Chi Ye sat back down and said, "I thought you had ever had feelings for me. I've been hanging around you for so long, and you're not angry, are you?"

! !
"My God... how much did the production team spend to get these two to go to such lengths?"

"It was the right decision to join this show, and it was also the right decision to be eliminated."

"The captain is still the same old guy, about to go crazy again, but Sheng Ning is going crazy with him too... damn it."

"...This is talent?!"

Yang Zi stared in disbelief, his eyes revealing his frustration.

Ahhhh! !

Shang Youshu has gone mad.

Is this what I can see?!
The production team, you're my godsend!!

Almost everyone thought this was a famous scene created by the production team of "Actors, Please Take Your Seats" because this production team is different from other production teams; it truly only cares about viewership and not quality.

This isn't the first time they've done something like this. Last season, even someone of Zhang's stature got into a fight with the other mentors.

Not to mention this time.

But only Chi Ye and Sheng Ning knew that it wasn't a script from the production team at all; it was all just his own improvisation!
If the two of them hadn't met, that would have been fine, but since they did meet on the show, it would be a shame if they didn't exchange a few barbs, as it would be a disservice to all those old and new grudges.

However… these old and new grudges may only apply to Ikeno now.

When Sheng Ning heard Chi Ye say, "I thought you liked me, you've been rubbing against me for so long and you're not angry at all," her phoenix eyes visibly narrowed, and her chest heaved, clearly showing that she was genuinely blushing.

I'm not angry?

I want to tear you apart!

She felt increasingly disappointed in Chi Ye, because in her eyes, the former Chi Ye was not only a liar, but although he had never told her the truth about Yue Na and had not dragged her down with him when she was at the peak of her career, well, he still had some conscience... but not much.

—He did take advantage of the fact that they both knew the reason, knowing that she wouldn't go too far, and he kept trying to take advantage of her. At its worst, it caused her career to decline, her reputation to be widely tarnished, and her to stop working.

It drove her to a mental breakdown. She's always so brazen and fearless.

And precisely, this is what she hates most about herself, which makes her hate Ikeno even more than ever before.

"Like you? I'm not that hungry yet. Who would like a man from a poor background who has achieved success?"

"I don't like older people either."

"..."

The situation was starting to get out of control, and even the production crew was frightened.

Fortunately, Sheng Ning knew she couldn't say any more, so she sat back down and stopped talking about the topic.

The scene was noisy for a while, but quickly quieted down. Because of the previous suspension of the broadcast, the indoor environment was a bit sensitive, and it was not convenient to broadcast live. So this segment was always recorded. Perhaps this is why Chi Ye and Sheng Ning "let loose" - but the production team will step in.

The director, his face flushed, was already giving orders: "Quickly post what you've filmed online, hurry, hurry, hurry!"

The staff member hesitated: "Is this really a good idea... after all, it involves Sheng Ning..."

"It's okay, we'll post all of Teacher Zhang's posts, and it's even better for Sheng Ning's! Traffic is the most important thing!"

"...That's fine."

"Oh, right, the video needs to be made to look like it was filmed by the contestants on site with their phones... and our program's logo must be placed in the most prominent place!"

"understand!"

The staff began to bend down and operate the equipment.

at the same time.

On the field.

The brief "big scandal" has gradually subsided. Now that the two parties involved are not talking about it, even if others want to go and listen, they dare not make any more moves.

The five mentors behind them exchanged glances. Teacher Zhang smiled, looking like she was watching a show. Jiang Kaige remained expressionless. The remaining two, Wu Zhenyu and Teacher Zeng, shook their heads, sighing that youth is truly wonderful and that they were really good at roasting each other.

The last international Best Actress winner seemed to understand but not quite, giving a professional smile.

As a guest of the advisory group, Li Qian asked the second question: "Those of you who have experience in live-streaming e-commerce, please stand up."

The previously "cheerful" atmosphere froze, but this time the question wasn't as sensitive as whether or not someone had had plastic surgery, and immediately more than a dozen people stood up.

Among them, Chicken Claw Zhang stands out, proudly displaying the "Xianming Chicken Claw" trademark on his chest.

Seeing this, Ikeno couldn't help but ask, "Does your toilet often get clogged?"

Chicken Claw Zhang was stunned, then exclaimed in shock, "Huh? Captain... how did you know?"

"She's got all the little tricks up her sleeve."

"..."

"Hahaha…"

Today's recording was packed with elements; in just over an hour, everyone's mood changed several times.

From tense and suffocating, to relaxation, then to shock and amusement, and finally back to relaxation...

Ikeno, you truly live up to your reputation!
"Let's find a representative and talk about why an actor would do live-streaming e-commerce."

Following the script, Li Qian scanned the audience.

Chicken Claw Zhang and a dozen other "sales-driving actors" who stood up exchanged glances and immediately raised their hands one by one, looking just like elementary school students being asked a question they knew the answer to.

Pick me! Pick me!! I want this shot! I want this shot!!
Li Qian paused, skipping over one of the show's original acquaintances, and looked at Chicken Claw Zhang: "Hmm... Zhang Xianming used to be Teacher Chi's teammate, right? Your chicken claws are selling pretty well."

"Hahaha…"

The audience roared with laughter, but the dozen or so people "competing" with Chicken Claw Zhang cursed inwardly: Damn it, another one with connections!
I knew it! Rise's connections would definitely come in handy!
Li Qian called out, "Then you tell us, as an actress, why do you need to do live-streaming e-commerce?"

Chi Ye glanced at Chicken Claw Zhang, who was gathering his emotions, and spoke the truth for his good teammate: "Because he's not an actor."

"Haha... um... cough cough."

Li Qian failed to hold back again, and the atmosphere that had just risen instantly eased.

Chicken Claw Zhang couldn't hold back either: Captain, don't shoot, they're on our side!

Of course, live-streaming e-commerce is a sensitive topic in the entertainment industry, but not that sensitive.

Undeniably, this behavior is widely recognized as low and "self-degrading" within the industry.

But the actors who promote products also have something to say—I have no acting jobs, how am I supposed to survive if I don't promote products? How am I supposed to support my whole family and my entire team?

Therefore, this is an opportunity to clear one's name.

"Ikeno said it well."

Jiang Kaige's phlegm made a sound.

One sentence immediately tightened everyone's hearts again, and the surrounding crowd fell silent once more.

Chicken Claw Zhang composed himself and said with teary eyes, "No, no, although I haven't acted in many films, my parents always told me from a young age that children from poor families..."

Why don't you start from the time of Pangu creating the world?

Speechless, Chino offered a suggestion: "Could you get to the point?"

"...Yeah, it's just that I really can't get any acting roles." Zhang Xianming said seriously, wiping away imaginary tears, and pointing to the chicken claw on his chest: "In order to survive, and in order to stay in the entertainment industry, I can only sell products online. My current dream is to become a people's entrepreneur!"

"But at the same time, I would also like to make this clear to all the teachers present."

"I really want to be an actor because... my leader, Rise's former leader Ikeno, Mr. Ikeno, is sitting up there right now. He's a great actor and has always been a role model for everyone in our group..."

Chicken Claw Zhang paused, not letting Peng Chen off the hook at all. He thought to himself, "Even though you didn't come, your name must be mentioned. Chi Ye already said that you're more famous than him, so you should say it even more!"
"Oh right, and Peng Chen, my good brother... I think it's because of these two 'good actors' in our group that we have received a lot of encouragement and spiritual support. I hope that on this show, I can grow into a real actor, just as good as the captain and Chenchen!"

After finishing his story, Chicken Claw Zhang sat down again, wiping away his tears.

The audience burst into applause.

The mentors and guests on stage all looked at Chi Ye with strange and peculiar eyes, and even the idols, internet celebrities, and actors in the audience secretly glanced at him.

A good actor, a good captain, right?
Chi Ye was also speechless, thinking to himself, "You can mention Peng Chen, but why the hell did you have to mention me?"

Do I owe you anything? You keep clinging to me and rubbing against me!

He was about to reprimand this behavior when Sheng Ning saw his speechless expression and paused. She smiled, revealing her smile for the first time today, and it was directed at Chicken Claw Zhang: "Hmm, very touching, very good. In fact... we all know that the market is not good right now, and most actors' opportunities to film are actually being squeezed... I understand this feeling."

Chicken Claw Zhang wept with joy—this was truly tears of joy, filled with trepidation.

He actually got praised by Sheng Ning?!
Sheng Ning, a super big shot, actually smiled at him?!

Holy crap, this show was the perfect choice. Putting aside whether it makes money or not, the psychological satisfaction alone is off the charts.

Good job, Sheng Ning! From now on, I'm a die-hard fan of Sister Sheng Ning!
"Yes...that's true, live-streaming e-commerce is quite normal."

At this moment, Teacher Zeng, who had been silent until now, also spoke in a hoarse voice with a serious expression: "I don't think there's anything wrong with this. Actors usually have to endorse products anyway, and live streaming can quickly bring actors closer to their fans and consumers. Actors can even try things out themselves."

"This ensures product quality while also giving back to fans. It's a normal business activity, just like endorsements or promotional appearances. So I think we should legitimize live-streaming e-commerce!"

Shang Jie, who was listening nearby, felt awkward for a moment. She turned around and whispered to Chi Ye, "Why does Teacher Zeng want to defend live-streaming e-commerce? He... has... anything to do with chicken feet?"

Chi Ye remained silent: "Teacher Zeng did it too."

Sister Shang: "...Oh, I understand."

The audience erupted in applause, and the "actors" were moved to tears by Teacher Zeng's words of "vindication of live-streaming e-commerce."

The program reached its first "climax".

Sister Shang looked at these people thoughtfully: "It seems everyone has done it."

Chi Ye nodded: "Yes, they are all top performers in the live-streaming e-commerce industry, veterans at 'harvesting韭菜' (a metaphor for exploiting consumers)."
