After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 377 Walking on the Edge of Execution

The recording of this program took place in the afternoon.

All groups are present.

Zhao Qiaoqiao was also keeping an eye on it, privately inquiring about what kind of topic Zhou Haoran was planning to cover.

Hearing that it was a story about the emotions between young men and women, a melodramatic tale of a nightclub girl and a rich young man, I couldn't help but mock it.

I thought to myself, this guy really is an idiot!

No wonder his previous two shows didn't even reach the passing grade in terms of ratings; his taste is terrible. With so many topics to choose from, he picked the most vulgar one, one that was utterly awful.

It's a good thing I didn't team up with him.

If they had listened to Editor-in-Chief Lin's advice and teamed up with him to record this episode, who knows how much suffering they would have endured, and the show's ratings would have suffered a huge failure.

Let Qiao Suiqing go!

At the beginning of next month, the station will be categorizing its hosts into different tiers. The station is currently undergoing reforms, and everything is geared towards ratings… Hmph, then we won't hold back. As long as Qiao Suiqing's shows have been struggling with low ratings for the past few episodes…

By the time……

She, Zhao Qiaoqiao, will be the leading lady of "Family Matters"!
She even became the leading lady on the lifestyle channel!
Zhao Qiaoqiao was gloating.

Just enjoy the show.

Meanwhile, Zhou Haoran had already begun welcoming the guests to the venue.

The first one to arrive was the young model He Jing.

She arrived gracefully in a silver Honda sedan. She wore exquisite makeup and a high-waisted halter-neck dress.

The director had told her that beforehand.

It will be very cold in the studio.

Tell her to wear more clothes.

This young girl was a bit uninhibited, wearing a low-cut halter dress that revealed her cleavage, and a blue silk scarf around her neck. She was at least 1.7 meters tall, and wore high heels that were over ten centimeters high, making Zhou Haoran look up at her.

"This girl's pretty wild!"

Zhou Haoran had given her a warning, making it inconvenient for him to approach. Not only him, but all the men kept their distance, and those with less experience blushed slightly, unable to look her in the eye.

You'd be more like a model!
That was truly outstanding!

I feel like my whole body is glowing.

The female director, Zhang Ming, was in charge of receiving guests. She rushed up to him, smiling, and said, "Jingjing, you're here! When is Mr. Xu arriving?"

He Jing laughed and said, "Don't worry, I told him. If he doesn't come today, he can expect to be collecting my corpse! He'll definitely be here soon!"

Very loud sound.

Everyone heard it clearly, leaving them speechless.

First, invite Ho Ching to the studio.

Ten minutes later, another black Mercedes-Benz arrived.

He really is a rich young master!

He was dressed casually, wearing a T-shirt, jeans, and large sunglasses.

Female director Zhang Ming quickly stepped forward, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Xu Jiayuan?"

The man, who looked to be around thirty years old, said calmly, "He Jing is here, isn't she?"

"Yes, they're already in the studio..." Female director Zhang Ming breathed a sigh of relief. The guests had all arrived, so they could begin recording. "Mr. Xu, I've been trying to contact you for a while, but I haven't been able to. I'm so sorry for being so forward..."

Xu Jiayuan waved his hand impatiently and said, "Don't give me this nonsense. What does she want? Don't I know? It's just embarrassing, she's not afraid, why would I be? Let's go, in front of the TV station, I want to see what she has to say! She's always threatening to kill herself, do I owe her something!"

The female director, Zhang Ming, felt a pang of panic.

I thought to myself, these two are no pushovers. I hope they don't start fighting during the recording.

Zhou Haoran received news via walkie-talkie that Xu Jiayuan had arrived.

With a single command, recording begins!
He Jing has a natural talent for acting; she quickly got into character, tearfully recounting how she met the scumbag and how she discovered his infidelity, noting that he was covered in other women's perfume.

This made director Zhou Haoran, who was sitting in the audience, feel a little guilty.

I thought to myself, all women have a dog's nose.

Qingmei has judged more than once by the scent of his perfume that he was dating different girls.

Fortunately, Qiao Suiqing is a highly qualified host.

He didn't show anything unusual on stage.

After Xu Jiayuan was brought in, he shouted, "Just tell me what you want!"

Zhou Haoran didn't call a halt, but quickly instructed via walkie-talkie: "Camera one, to Xu Jiayuan; camera two, to He Jing; camera three, to the host. Use the crane to capture close-ups and get the expressions right!"

With Director Shan remaining in his position, he implemented a series of sweeping reforms at the station.

It cost a lot of money.

The most significant changes involved the renovation of the studio and the upgrading of equipment.

This jib camera is a new piece of equipment.

Very advanced.

It can produce better wide-angle shots.

He Jing wiped away her tears, her voice rising eight octaves: "You tell me clearly today, in front of the entire nation! What have you been doing outside? Don't think I don't know who that Miao Miao is? You two are together, aren't you?" Xu Jiayuan sneered: "What's it to you? Is it any of your business? What kind of relationship do we have, huh? To put it nicely, we're dating; to put it bluntly, we're lovers! What kind of lover is in charge of her man outside?"

These words shocked everyone present.

Even relationship experts were stunned.

Having done so many episodes, I've never seen anything like this before. I quickly sat down next to He Jing and tried to persuade her.

Zhou Haoran showed no sign of stopping, and ordered into the walkie-talkie: "Continue! Keep filming!"

He Jing's tears welled up again as she sobbed, "You were the one who said it, that you loved me and couldn't live without me, that's why I was with you. And now, after only a few days, you've turned your back on me like this? Are you even human?"

Xu Jiayuan, equally unruly, stood aside with his arms crossed and calmly said, "Don't try to fool me. Let me tell you, I do have someone else, so what? All you do is cry, make a scene, and threaten suicide, right? There are legal experts here today, aren't there? Let me tell you, even if you die, it has nothing to do with me! And you even came to the TV station to curse people. With your kind of character, do you think I'd want you?"

Qiao Suiqing quickly regained control of the situation, saying, "Mr. Xu, Miss He has already told us your story. You've known each other for over half a year, and you were quite in love before. I think there's a foundation of affection between you..."

There's nothing we can do; this is a TV station.

To define their relationship as love, this incident should be classified as a minor conflict between lovers.

If it really involves a sugar daddy/sugar baby relationship, this show could easily be shut down.

Xu Jiayuan was quite nice to the host, calmly saying, "I met her at a nightclub. I was drunk that day, and after she finished her performance, a man started groping her, so I went over and fought with him. After that, she started clinging to me. At first, she said she would treat me to dinner, and then she said she had nowhere to stay, so she moved in with me. I'm so annoyed by her. All she does is ask for money every day."

He Jing said unhappily, "You're the one who told me you're very rich!"

Xu Jiayuan retorted angrily, "You just want to find a rich man, don't you? I have money, what does it have to do with you?"

Qiao Suiqing asked Xu Jiayuan to come and sit down first, and said softly, "Mr. Xu, I know that your relationship has had many ups and downs, but He Jing said something that really touched us. She said that when she found out that you smelled of another woman, her first reaction was to commit suicide. She said that she couldn't help but love you, and I think she was sincere."

He Jing wiped away her tears, lowered her head, and looked pitiful.

Xu Jiayuan was silent for a moment, then sighed, "Yes, there was love at the beginning."

Upon hearing this, the staff felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from their shoulders.

Very good!
Admit it!
It really is love.

With a romantic clue, the hard work on this episode won't have been in vain, and there's a chance to pull it back from the brink of rejection and have it broadcast smoothly.

Qiao Suiqing smiled slightly, "Mr. Xu, is there something you haven't clarified?"

Xu Jiayuan said, "No one can stand having someone investigating you every day. She really thinks she's the wife... He Jing, let me tell you the truth, even if I were with you, I would never marry you. Don't you know who you are? How could a family like mine marry someone from a nightclub? Don't you know who you are!"

He Jing exploded upon hearing this, "Xu Jiayuan, what do you mean? I've been supporting myself since I was sixteen. I work as a model in nightclubs, so what? I'm not a prostitute! My parents are divorced, I support myself, I earn my own living, how is that not innocent? Why would I ask you for money? After we got together, I stopped working at the nightclub. If I don't work, where will I get the money to support myself?"

As she spoke, she started crying again.

"You fought for me, and I respected you as a man, but why do you say this to me? I even skipped work to be a chaste and virtuous woman for you, and this is how you treat me? Are you even human?"

He Jing covered her mouth and ran off the stage crying.

The counselor quickly hugged her.

I went with her to the lounge next door.

The entire audience was stunned once again.

"Family Matters" has been running for two years now, and all the staff present—directors, cameramen, makeup artists, producers, relationship counselors—were a bit dumbfounded; they had never seen anything like it before.

Although the show's theme has shifted to love.

Despite the chaotic scene, everyone was still somewhat worried.

Will this episode really pass censorship?

Zhou Haoran was quite satisfied with the reaction on the spot.

How can a TV show be too bland?
Previously, the show "Family Matters" had high ratings because there were few high-quality TV programs, and viewers had little choice. Now, with more and more TV stations, competition between programs is becoming increasingly fierce.

To achieve high viewership ratings, dramatic tension is essential.

Zhou Haoran was quite satisfied with the recording session.

However, the issues that need to be addressed still need to be addressed.

We can't just let this girl commit suicide.

Zhou Haoran went to the lounge next door, looked at He Jing's young model face and figure, and said without thinking, "Miss He, this kind of person is not worth your love. He fought for you because he was drunk and wanted to play the hero."

He Jing remained silent, wiping her swollen eyes from crying.

After the director established the main theme, the relationship coach quickly followed that line of thought: "Girl, it's normal for him to fall in love with someone else, because he doesn't even know what love is. He can be with you today, but he can be with someone else tomorrow. He doesn't understand that love requires a vow of life and death. Girl, you're so young and have so many advantages. You have so much wonderful time ahead of you. Leaving him might give you a brighter future."

He Jing's eyes fell on Zhou Haoran.

It seems they've figured it out too.

The person with the most authority here is this young man who is about the same age as me.

"What's your name?"

"Zhou Haoran."

"Are you the director?"

"Correct."

"He's a director at such a young age?"

Ho Ching's eyes were brimming with tears, clearly unaware of how humble and pathetic the director of such a program was.

The staff in the lounge all had rather strange expressions.

Ho!
What's the situation?
Could it be that they've taken a liking to our Director Zhou?
That won't do!
