Chapter 139 The Four Ironclad Bonds of Life: Eating History Together
Teacher Zhang glanced at Chi Ye, then looked at Teacher Wu, thinking to himself, "No wonder you're a professional shit critic. You'll do anything for money."

Director Kaige remained silent, only clearing his phlegm.

"Is Director Kaige's throat bothering him?"

Ikeno had heard it several times and looked over.

"Cough cough."

At this moment, Sheng Ning must have been craving a cigarette, because she coughed lightly twice.

Chi Ye turned around: "Your throat is sore too? Then buy some of Zhang Xianming's chicken feet and let the chicken feet scratch it for you."

Sheng Ning raised an eyebrow, noticing so many cameras around her, but said nothing, only inwardly cursing.

I'll scratch you to death!

"Hahaha."

Li Qian, oblivious to the unspoken dialogue between the two, laughed even louder. Director Kaige immediately stopped clearing his phlegm and glanced at Chi Ye indifferently.

Chiye didn't care either.

The film industry is indeed too complex and closed off.

He could clearly sense during the recording of the program that Director Kaige and Teacher Zhang were the closest to each other.

Isabelle Huppert, the international film queen, is purely here to make money and create a buzz.

The remaining two Hong Kong mentors appear to be on equal footing with the two from the Beijing circle in front of the camera, but in reality, their status and position are far inferior.

If the five mentors were like this, imagine what the four advisory groups were like...

Li Qian is a near-top-tier celebrity, but both Sheng Ning and Sister Shang treated her very politely.

In short, the film industry is indeed a bit complicated.

Jiang Kaige and Teacher Zhang clearly don't think much of him, so there's no need for him to try and win them over.

As for his relationship with Jiang Cheng... Arthur has already "broken ties" with him after he caused a stir with "Loop"!
At this point, most of the 46 actors on stage had already been introduced.

Xiang You ultimately failed to be selected in advance and returned to his seat feeling discouraged.

He was replaced by Chicken Claw Zhang – as for the chicken claw seller who appeared earlier… that’s not him, it’s a certain internet celebrity.

That's right, Zhang Xianming himself didn't expect that he would encounter a "competitor" when he came to participate in a variety show!
He had already inquired privately and found out that the minor internet celebrity was Jiang's collaborator.

Damn it, Jiang, you're still haunted even after you're dead, aren't you?
Are you trying to disgust me even from a distance?
The deep brotherhood is so touching!

He was furious, but when he heard that the captain had just "introduced" his chicken feet to Director Kaige, he was incredibly excited.

Even after taking the stage, she was full of energy, recounting her past and why she participated in the program. At the crucial part, she even burst into tears, making up stories like, "Although I haven't acted, I really have maintained my figure. Every day at three in the morning, I go to the gym for high-intensity training..."

He confidently flexed his pectoral muscles, glancing repeatedly at Ikeno, hoping he would continue to offer his "helpful words."

As expected, Ikeno was surprised upon hearing his words: "Working out at three in the morning? And with high-intensity, heavy weights every day?"

"Correct."

"Do you want a strong corpse?"

Chicken Claw Zhang: "..."

Li Qian covered her face and laughed non-stop, then thought of something and nodded: "That's true... how should I put it, it's not easy for actors to maintain their figure... um, but Teacher Chi is right, we should pay attention to our health."

She wasn't just saying that for show, because she is indeed overweight and has suffered a lot of body image attacks in the past, and still suffers from severe body image anxiety.

"Could you show us your fitness results?"

Jiang Kaige wanted to clear his phlegm, but then he remembered what Chi Ye had just said, and swallowed it back down in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Chicken Claw Zhang was immediately delighted and nodded, "Of course!"

The other contestants who went on stage just now, even if they had a "presentation," would definitely have more screen time and generate more buzz than those who slunk off after their self-introductions.

He immediately took a deep breath, feeling like something was missing... Hmm, the beat-up background music...

However, considering this is a variety show, it's really not appropriate to play that kind of background music.

Of course, Zhang Xianming is a veteran artist, and whether or not there is substantial background music has no impact on his performance, because the concept of "playing on the edge" is already ingrained in his DNA.

No moves are better than moves!
Chicken Claw Zhang glanced disdainfully at the other contestants below the stage, then silently began to twist and turn.

His body shook violently, his hips swung wildly, at a high frequency, without any effort.

Everyone around stared wide-eyed in disbelief at what they were seeing—Dude, what are you doing?!

We asked you to showcase your fitness results, and you're skirting the line here?!

Chi Ye turned his head away and muttered, "Even someone who sees this wouldn't dare to commit suicide."

Li Qian asked curiously, "Why?"

"I'm afraid I'll have to watch it all over again."

"Pfft, haha, how can you be so funny..."

Li Qian couldn't hold back anymore.

But Ikeno discovered a key point.

The woman next to him didn't make a move.

He looked over in confusion and saw that Sister Shang was fiddling with her phone with her head down, looking furtive, clearly having been lost in thought for some time.

Chiye: "?"

No, my eyes can't be defiled in vain; I must let you see it too!
He whispered directly, "Zhang Xianming is doing a striptease."

What?!

Sister Shang was startled and subconsciously looked over, then—

"OMG..."

Her small mouth was slightly open, and an indescribable expression appeared on her small face.

How to describe it...

Well, um…

"Did you eat it?"

Chiye was curious.

"We got to eat it." Sister Shang nodded: "We got to eat Shi."

"Thank you so much. You finished eating by yourself and then invited me to eat with you."

Chi Ye: "The four iron bonds in life are: studying together, fighting together, sharing the spoils, and eating shit together."

"Ikeno, you're so good to me, you even give me the bad stuff."

"..."

While the two were whispering to each other, Chicken Claw Zhang was also "kicked off the stage" along with his chair and chicken feet.

Sheng Ning criticized in a cold voice: "Nonsense, messing around, treating actors like jokes!"

Chicken Claw Zhang was completely bewildered—Wait, weren't you just praising me?

How could your expression change so quickly?!

He was puzzled, unaware that just now, Chi Ye had helped him "advertise," and Sheng Ning's impression of him instantly plummeted from "okay" to "negative."

Yes, that's just how straightforward and simple she is.

A warrior driven by pure hatred.

Chicken Claw Zhang slunk off the stage, but what he was thinking was: I deliberately showed off the chicken claw logo on my chest on stage just now. No matter if I'm eliminated later, this move was worth it!
Little did he know that on the backstage camera, the footage of him twisting and swaying had his head and chest photoshopped to resemble the logo of "Actors, Please Take Your Seats".

In the video, the actors in "Actors, Please Take Your Seats" are shaking their bodies wildly, twisting their hips and brushing against the edge of the screen. The production team even thoughtfully added background music in post-production.

Yes, "Actors, Please Take Your Seats" has become a monster! It's skirting the line!

The director clapped his hands in satisfaction: "That's right, haha, you know what, once this footage is released, our show's popularity will definitely be even higher!"

He's already come up with the trending topic—#ActorsPleaseTakeYourSeatsAnthropomorphized#!

When masters clash, every move can be fatal!
……

Chi Ye had no idea that Shang Youshu was actually gossiping outside the main event.

Because of the sudden revival and rise to the top of the #Midnight# CP, the fans on both sides have gradually lost their minds in the fight.

What Ikeno was kept by a sugar daddy, a collection of scandals about a "phoenix man" (a man from a poor background who achieves success), and evidence?

Sheng Ning has changed her age multiple times and even knocked a fan's phone out of her hand in public; she only associates with whoever is popular. As for "Chi Ye," he's done similar things before. These two are truly a "match made in heaven"...

Fans have something to say: That's different. My brother was calling the phones of paparazzi and sasaeng fans back then!

In short, the scandals involving the two quickly trended on social media. At first, everyone thought it was just a fan war between the two sides, and that their teams had gotten into a heated argument and started to get involved.

But soon, seasoned fans familiar with the entertainment industry and its various feuds and mudslinging tactics discovered that things were far more complicated than they had imagined.

—Their rivals have both entered the fray!

Especially Chi Ye's rivals. Sheng Ning's rivals are relatively few, such as Jin Xia, Shang Youshu, Shi Jinwei, and a few newly popular actresses... But Sheng Ning's team generally won't "lower their status" to actively promote their rivals.

There are only so many opponents, and after so many years of fighting, it's easy to tell who they are.

But things are a little different for Ikeno.

He didn't have many rivals before "Loop" aired.

The reason is simple—he's too obscure, not competitive, and not many people really consider him a rival. At most, Hua Yichen's side feels that Chi Ye's singing skills and looks will threaten their status in the music industry in the future, and they have always regarded Chi Ye as their opponent.

After "Loop" aired, Ikeno successfully got a seat at the table, and all the young actors in the industry who were known by name, especially the popular young actors, couldn't sit still.

For example, Peng Chen's good friends Jiang Yi and Chi Ye, who are both involved in BL dramas, haven't marketed themselves as "top two celebrities" yet, and their status isn't that high, but they are definitely among the closest to becoming "top two celebrities".

Jiang Yi watched as his good brother Lao Peng rose to a higher level, and Hu Hu Chi Ye, whom he had never taken seriously before, suddenly showed signs of catching up. How could he sit still?
Aside from Jiang Yi, there's not much to say about the artists from the Yue Na Group. Other artists from different groups, whether they're less famous or more popular than Chi Ye, are all eyeing her covetously.

Those who are struggling are afraid he'll continue to climb the ranks and steal resources; those who are popular are afraid he'll rise to the top and overturn the table to steal resources...

In short, Ikeno has too many rivals now, so many that the studio simply cannot compile a complete list.

However, this kind of "rivalry" is not absolute, because it is common for people in the industry to stab each other in the back.

Today we're rivals, but the day after tomorrow we might be teaming up to stab another common "rival."

Ikeno didn't care about these minor squabbles; they were just everyday squabbles.

What he was concerned about was that, in this fierce battle, one of the "pillars" of his former employer, Ji Heming, the "Stinky Feet God of War," seemed to have encountered some "problems."

……

Two o'clock in the morning.

The first episode of "Actors, Please Take Your Seats" has been recorded.

The mentors, advisors, and contestants all left the room after their shifts.

Of course, this kind of schedule is normal when recording a show. Everyone is not sleepy at the moment. Since we finally have such an opportunity to "make connections", of course we have to have a meal together and add each other on WeChat or something.

Chi Ye received several WeChat friend requests—Teacher Yangzi didn't come, and he was sulking, seemingly upset that Chi Ye hadn't interacted with him much today.

Seeing his pathetic state, Ikeno decided not to go over.

"Shall we grab some late-night snacks?"

Teacher Wu and Teacher Zeng came over chatting and laughing. The former put his hands in his pockets and asked, "Come and talk about the notebooks."

"Sure, sure, I'll find a place."

After replying to a WeChat message from a friend whose contact name was "Submarine Master Zhuang," Chi Ye looked up and smiled.

He had originally planned to get to know Teacher Wu before making this appearance, so he had no objections when he heard the voice. He nodded in agreement and also caught a glimpse of Jiang Kaige and Teacher Zhang, who had just left the camera's view and were now gathered together.

Sheng Ning was also in the crowd, surrounded by a group of players who had connections.

She noticed Ikeno's gaze, turned around and looked over, a cold smile on her thin lips. Without saying a word, she left with the others.

"You've offended someone."

Seeing this, Teacher Wu shook her head and kindly suggested, "Should we go apologize? I heard she's quite famous here."

"what?"

Chi Ye was taken aback, then waved his hand: "No need, why would she apologize to me?"

Teacher Wu laughed: "You have such a mouth... haha, no wonder people got angry."

"Then let's go?"

"Hold on."

When Chi Ye saw Sister Shang waving to him, he apologized to Teacher Wu and Teacher Zeng, then went over and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I have another engagement, so I can't have dinner with you."

Sister Shang said somewhat listlessly, "Just a heads-up, I saw a lot of people criticizing you while I was gossiping. Tell your team to be more careful."

"Okay, I see."

Chi Ye nodded and glanced at her: "Are you alright? Why aren't you resting so late?"

"Sigh, the partner brand is urgently urging me; we have an appointment, and I can't rest."

Shang Jie looked dejected. Compared to the old lady's arrogance, Sheng Ning's domineering nature, and even Pliers Sister's hard work, Shang Jie was simply a lazy dog. She was genuinely lazy, a laziness without any other impurities!
"With all that flying, do you even have time to lose weight?"

Ikeno thought for a moment and offered advice: "Don't eat Wallace anymore. Um... if you really want to lose weight, you can eat some high-fiber foods to promote bowel movements..."

Sister Shang rubbed her face: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore!"

"Alright then, I wish you all the best with your work."

Chi Yele waved his hand, turned around and left with Teacher Wu and the others.

Shang Jie walked over to the agent, got into the car together, and then took out her phone to check.

What are you fiddling with?

The agent was curious.

"It's nothing, it's just that Ikeno recommended some diet foods to me... let me see."

The agent was speechless: "No way, you actually believe that? You two are really something, one dares to say it and the other dares to believe it. You want to be a little archer, huh?"

"Sis, this time it's food, not junk food."

The saleswoman corrected her, then found something: "High-fiber foods can help with weight loss... but you can't rely on them too much... um... high-fiber foods are bulky and digested slowly, taking up a lot of space in the gastrointestinal tract, creating a strong feeling of fullness, thus reducing the intake of other high-calorie foods..."

"If this is the case..."

She frowned, looking at the food pictures with little appetite.

A new advertisement suddenly popped up on the page.

[Exclusive secret-recipe weight loss drink, all-natural formula, lose weight instantly! Go from XL to S in a month and easily transform into a goddess. Buy now and start your weight loss miracle!]

"Lose weight just by drinking it?!"

Sister Shang was incredulous. She clicked in and took a closer look, and her lips gradually began to smirk.

Two-second bowel clearing?
Ha, that's interesting.

"Big Fool Chun, what do you think you're doing?!"

The agent also spotted the unscrupulous advertisement and warned, "You're using Xiangsutong?!"

Sister Shang was speechless: "Sister, I was just joking. I'm not stupid. How could I possibly believe such an unscrupulous advertisement?"

After saying that, she muttered and complained, "Big data has no privacy these days. I just searched for diet pills a few times, and they kept recommending diet pills to me..."

"That's right, this big data these days is so accurate, wow..."

The agent also shook his head and sighed.

"I'll just buy some black coffee. I won't eat, I'll just drink coffee..."

Sister Shang shook her head, closed the page, and clicked on JD.com: "I just ran out of coffee at home... um... um...?"

But then, an advertisement for a certain women's sex toy suddenly popped up on the cover of the JD.com app she had just clicked on.

The advertisement slogan was displayed on it.

——【A close confidante for intimate moments, opening a new chapter of pleasure exclusively for women!】

broker:"……"

Sister Shang: “…”

The two exchanged a glance, and Sister Shang said without changing her expression, "Big data makes random predictions; they're not accurate at all."

"Yes, they were just pushing randomly... They can read minds, that's amazing."

The agent paused, then asked seriously, "So when do you plan to begin your own chapter of pleasure?"

　Um… I'm begging for some monthly votes. I'm not far from being in the top 100 in monthly votes. I don't know much about this, but I heard that the top 100 get to participate in an event and receive a fan title next month… I feel like I'm close enough, so I'll see if I can give it a try. I'll also add extra chapters for every monthly vote I get. I'll make up for all the votes I owed last month by the end of the month. Every monthly vote you guys cast this month will be added back to my account. Thank you, my darlings! Love you all!
