Chapter 248 Yuan Li: President Jiang understands me best! (Sisters Who Make Waves variety show, please do not subscribe if you don't like it)

(This is a variety show featuring the contestants "Sisters Who Make Waves." Please do not subscribe if you do not like it.)

As an agent, Jiang Yifeng did not bother to learn about the competition format of this season's Sisters Who Make Waves beforehand.

If you know too much beforehand, you'll overthink things, making it harder to create a good show.

The recording of Sisters Who Make Waves only sets a general framework and provides some standard scripts, leaving a lot of room for improvisation.

The show is all about the genuine reactions of the participants during the interaction.

When Jiang Yifeng finished his makeup and entered the selection room, Liu Yifei, Shu Chang, Jing Tian, ​​and Yang Mi were already sitting on either side of the oval table.

Opposite the long table, there is a large screen that shows the situation in the guest room in real time.

Inside the large room, 30 women were already in place, exchanging greetings and engaging in awkward conversation.

They sat together in twos and threes, and soon formed small groups.

For example, Qin Lan is next to Huo Siyan and Li Xiaolu, but Qin Lan is also next to Gao Yuanyuan.

Fan Bingbing and Li Wen had a great chat.

Na Ying was having an awkward chat with Gong Lin, Tong Liya and Dong Xuan were together, and Aunt Yuan Yong had Zhou Hai Mei on her left and Weng Hong on her right. The three women were somewhat disdainful and distant towards Ye Xuan.

So Michelle Ye approached Gao Yuanyuan.

The two women starred together in "The World's Number One" back then.

Zhou Xun and Zhang Ziyi were having a pretentious chat, putting on airs, but nobody paid them any attention.

Many people sat quietly without chatting, such as Tian Zhen, who looked like a seasoned veteran.

Because of the language barrier, Ayumi Hamasaki didn't say much, even though she had a translator with her.

Wan Qian is pretending to be aloof, while Yuan Li is simply someone no one wants to mess with.

After Jiang Yifeng sat down, the host, Da Peng, began to speak. He first read out the advertising sponsorships and then began to explain the rules.

The first episode, like the previous season, also featured group formation and the initial stage performance.

Only the specific rules have changed.

Instead of random grouping, five agents play six mini-games to determine the priority order for selecting people in each round.

You will form your own team through six rounds of selection.

In addition to core cards and substitution cards, this season also features insertion cards and performance cards.

The "supplement card" allows you to designate a sister from the waiting pool and force her into a group, which that group cannot refuse.

This tactic is to disrupt the opponent's team's lineup, essentially planting a time bomb in their system.

Performance cards allow you to specify the performance content for the opposing group, making them perform things they are not good at, thus increasing the difficulty of the performance.

All cards are no longer available in every group; instead, they must be obtained through game battles.

The most common PK mode is "talking tough".

The two older sisters stood facing each other, exchanging harsh words. The one who broke the other's defenses or fell silent would win.

The purpose of these cards and the competition format is mainly to encourage competition and rivalry, thereby increasing the show's appeal.

After Da Peng finished his introduction, Jiang Yifeng asked with a smile, "Have you decided who to choose?"

Jing Tian immediately said, "Trying to gather intelligence? I'm not telling you!"

Liu Yifei then said, "You're finished, Lao Jiang. Before you came, the four of us had already formed a very sweet alliance to deal with you."

"When we're choosing people later, you'll always be the last one to choose in every round!"

Seeing Liu Yifei's smug look, Jiang Yifeng couldn't help but laugh out loud.

That laugh was laced with sarcasm.

Yang Mi said, "What are you laughing at? We're serious about this alliance!"
You're too cunning! You deliberately hid the news that Li Xiaolu was going to be on the show, which made me look bad online!
Everyone is laughing at me now. Even when I get home, my mom says to me, "Little sister, don't worry, your older sister is here."

Do you know how I've spent the last few days?
I must avenge this!"

Although Yang Mi has many problems, she is also prone to generating trending memes and easily becomes a popular figure.

She was ridiculed by the entire internet after she made fun of Li Xiaolu online a few days ago and was proven wrong.

The phrase "Little sister, don't worry, I'm here" has become a viral sensation online.

At this time, Yang Mi and Liu Yifei had a good relationship.

With Liu Yifei's help and Jiang Yifeng's threat, she successfully integrated into Very Sweet, forming a very sweet combination.

Jiang Yifeng shook his head and said calmly, "Of the four of you, one was born in 86, two in 87, and one in 88."

You are about the same age, female stars of the same era, and have a fierce competitive relationship with each other.

Under these circumstances, your alliance is destined to be riddled with flaws; what's the point?

Liu Yifei and Jing Tian: "..."

Seeing that her sisters had nothing to say, Shu Chang stood up and said, "Stop trying to sow discord. We may be competitors, but that's not the most urgent thing."

With you as the greatest threat, we must unite.

Jiang Yifeng sat down and said, "Alright, I'll see how you guys unite."

In this character selection game, I just gave up; I was always the last one to choose in every round.

Jiang Yifeng's move of retreating in order to advance instantly put the Very Sweet Couple on edge.

The contestants in this year's competition have a significant difference in ability, and everyone wants to choose first.

The alliance we just agreed on has now changed its nature.

Next up is the game segment.

The production team was quite gentle at first. The first game was "Black and White Matching," where you had to show the palm or the back of your hand, and the person who showed only one of their hands was eliminated first.

The difference is immediately apparent.

Liu Yifei and Shu Chang have a really good relationship, Jing Tian is also quite familiar with her, but Yang Mi has the worst relationship with her.

She was the first to be ostracized and eliminated.

Then there's Jing Tian.

Finally, Liu Yifei and Shu Chang played rock-paper-scissors.

Liu Yifei won; she gets to choose her opponent first in the first round.

When Liu Yifei cheered loudly, Yang Mi and Jing Tian did not look too happy.

The once-sweet alliance has already shown cracks.

The second game was "anonymous voting".

Everyone has a vote and can write their name on it. The ranking for the second round of selection is determined by the number of votes received.

The four women said nice things, but in the end they all filled in their own names.

Da Peng said, "You're tied now, there's no winner. President Jiang has one vote, and that vote is crucial!"

Jiang Yifeng leaned back in his chair, leisurely twirling his pen holder, and said with a smile, "Sigh, this is so difficult. Whoever I vote for will be number one. Who should I vote for?"

While Liu Yifei, Shu Chang, and Jing Tian remained somewhat reserved, Yang Mi took action.

She walked directly behind Jiang Yifeng, massaging his shoulders and back, and said in a sweet, nasal voice, "President Jiang, please vote for me~"

"Didn't you just say you wanted revenge on me?"

"I mean you did a great job, and I'd like to give you some compensation."

"Is that what you mean?"

"That's exactly what I mean. Do you want some water? Do you want anything to eat? I'll go get it for you!"

"Alright, you did a good job, here's your vote."

Seeing that Yang Mi had secured the crucial vote through flattery, Liu Yifei questioned, "Mi Mi, how could you do this? We agreed to form an alliance!"

Yang Mi complained, "Yes, we formed an alliance, but you black and white teams agreed to play white, while I was the only one playing black, which squeezed me out."

Is this also an alliance?

Liu Yifei: "..."

Yang Mi's words signaled the complete collapse of the newly formed "Very Sweet" duo.

Jiang Yifeng sighed and said disappointedly, "I haven't even used my full strength yet, and your group is already failing. That's really disappointing!"

Shu Chang retorted, "What are you so proud of? Although we have disagreements, you were the last to choose six times, which also resulted in a significant loss."

Our alliance has been effective.

Next came three more mini-games, which were very sweet. The four girls got more and more into the games, and the tension gradually rose.

The last game is today's main event – ​​"Taunting".

After the draw, Yang Mi was paired with Jing Tian, ​​and Liu Yifei with Shu Chang.

Jing Tian immediately started making jokes: "Little sister, don't worry, I'm coming!"

Yang Mi gripped the controller and said, "Sister, you really came! You've brought the Warring States series with a 1.2 million yuan investment! It's truly a fantastic movie!"

After saying that, he shook the handle and moved it to Jing Tian's side.

Jing Tian's face stiffened. The Warring States period was a stain on her reputation, and she was very unhappy to be spoken of like that by Yang Mi, but she didn't know how to effectively retaliate.

With time running out, Jing Tian had no choice but to say, "Are you alright? Are you alright? Are you alright? Are you alright?!"

They used another advertising joke involving Yang Mi.

Yang Mi remained calm and retorted, "Sorry, I haven't seen your advertisement."

Jing Tian was stunned for three seconds before being defeated.

She's really not good at arguing, and she doesn't want to ruin things, so her words aren't very aggressive.

The same applies to Liu Yifei and Shu Chang. Therefore, Yang Mi easily won the verbal sparring segment.

To be honest, the feuds among actresses born in the 85s were still a bit lacking.

However, having the agents play games on the show was just a warm-up, to familiarize the audience with the game segments and to pave the way for the sisters' subsequent feud.

After the game was completed and the order of each of the six rounds of selection was determined, the sisters began to appear.

The first person to get into the limousine was Tian Zhen.

During the interview, a staff member asked, "You didn't choose a good song in the last season's finale, which led to your failure to form a group. What are your goals for this season?"

Tian Zhen said directly, "Nayoung is here this season too, right? My first goal is to compete against her on the same stage, to have a fair and square competition, and to make her lose fair and square."

"Are you really that confident? What if you lose?"

Tian Zhen said domineeringly, "In a fair competition, I will never lose. Na Ying is a brainless idiot." This was her teacher Gu Jianfen's evaluation of her.

I won't lose to a dog's brain.

This aggressiveness is what a real fight should look like.

The four of them were playing a very sweet game, but they were still too reserved.

The camera pans to Nayoung in the large room, where she is expressionless, but her fists are clenched.

The women around me all had expressions of watching a show.

After Tian Zhen entered the guest hall, the second person to appear was Na Ying.

A staff member asked, "Teacher Nayoung, why did you agree to participate in the Sisters Who Make Waves program?"

Nayoung understands the importance of creating a good show, and she bluntly said, "For what? Of course, it's for the money."

"When we celebrities come out to record shows, it's just for work, isn't it all for a paycheck?"

"Are you short of money?"

"Who doesn't love money? I've made some money, but I don't think I have too much. It's stupid not to make money."

"You heard what Teacher Tian Zhen just said about you. Do you have anything to say?"

Na-young said, "They're just defeated opponents. Losers always like to make excuses."

I still suggest that your production team find a better quality microphone.

"If Tian Zhen loses this time and throws the microphone again, you'll suffer less loss, won't you?"

The smell of gunpowder instantly filled the air!

The production team is quite adept at creating drama; when Nayoung entered the guest hall, only Tian Zhen was there.

These two old rivals ended up staying in the same room.

Jiang Yifeng sat up straight, eager to see what would happen.

But Nayoung chickened out immediately. She sat down on the other side, turned her head to the left, and didn't even look at Tian Zhen.

Tian Zhen did not step forward.

An awkward silence fell over the hall.

When Li Wen walked in, she was completely stunned.

She looked left and right, unsure of who to greet.

At this point, it's not good to greet anyone first, as it would seem like you're taking sides.

Xiao Yaxuan, who came in later, felt the same way. She would rather have an awkward conversation with her rival Li Wen than get involved in the struggle between Tian Zhen and Na Ying.

The older sisters also moved to sit in the middle area.

This resulted in the middle seats being crowded with people, almost overflowing, while the sides were empty, creating a rather comical scene.

It wasn't until Ayumi Hamasaki came in, unaware of the situation, that she casually sat down next to Tian Zhen, which eased the tension.

After all the older sisters had taken their seats in the guest hall, Jiang Yifeng led the four very sweet women into the hall.

The group selection process has officially begun.

Jiang Yifeng was always the last to select players in each round, but he wasn't flustered at all.

On the contrary, all the older sisters were staring longingly at Jiang Yifeng.

Everyone wanted to join Jiang Yifeng's group.

In the first round of selection, Liu Yifei chose Li Wen, Shu Chang chose Tian Zhen, Jing Tian chose Xiao Yaxuan, and Yang Mi thought for a moment and chose Nayoung.

On the contrary, Ayumi Hamasaki, who was the biggest star at the peak of her career, was not chosen by anyone because of the language barrier.

Yang Mi then pretended to be magnanimous and said, "Director Jiang, I saved Ayumi Hamasaki for you, isn't that generous enough?"

Jiang Yifeng smiled slightly and said directly, "I choose Li Xiaoran."

Everyone was shocked, but when they thought about Jiang Yifeng's upcoming movie "Lost in Thailand," in which Li Xiaoran was the female lead, they were relieved.

In the second round, Jiang Yifeng said again, "I choose Liu Yan!"

The entire audience erupted in uproar.

Liu Yan has no special talents; she can only host shows, and she can't sing or dance.

When Liu Yan stood next to Li Xiaoran, adding to the curves, the sisters finally understood.

The reactions were quite interesting. Those who felt they were quite capable, such as Yuan Li, Weng Hong, and Qin Lan, all puffed out their chests.

Those without real ability are just sneering and cursing.

It's worth mentioning that Liu Yifei and Gao Yuanyuan also stood up; both of them had increased their strength after taking the beauty potion.

In the third round, Jiang Yifeng chose Qin Lan; in the fourth round, he chose Wang Ou; and in the fifth round, he chose Hou Peichen.

When selecting team members, he prioritizes appearance over ability.

After five rounds, five sisters remained to be chosen: Yuan Li, Zhang Ziyi, Wan Qian, Ye Xuan, and Huang Yi.

The five of them looked quite grim.

Yuan Li is too neurotic; even Liu Yifei doesn't dare to touch her anymore.
Zhang Ziyi has a terrible reputation, a bad temper, and a high status, making her difficult to get along with. In addition, she doesn't have any special talents.

Wan Qian played the role of a cool and aloof Buddhist, and got herself into the role.
Michelle Ye is also a well-known and difficult person to deal with;

As for Huang Yi, she has a bad face, no talent, and a grudge against Huo Siyan, so no one wants to cause trouble for her.

Looking at the remaining five people, Jiang Yifeng suddenly said, "I have already shown my gentlemanly manners by letting you choose first."

In this final round, shouldn't I choose first?

In the end, these five people were no different from each other.

Jiang Yifeng's request was not excessive, and all four women agreed, which was very sweet.

"Come on, Yuan Li, our team is just missing your piece!"

Hearing Jiang Yifeng's words, Yuan Li's face lit up with a smile. She said, "President Jiang really understands me!"

Jiang Yifeng said, "Of course, everyone else thinks you are impulsive and emotional, but only I know that you are a very genuine person."

You are a lotus flower blooming from pneumoconiosis, deserving to be offered the incense ash of trending topics.

Upon hearing this last sentence, Yuan Li couldn't hold back her tears and burst into tears on the spot.

Although she has many health problems, she has also done a lot of charity work, especially providing long-term financial assistance to patients with pneumoconiosis.

Putting aside Yuan Li's various eccentricities, she can be described as "kneeling to embrace pneumoconiosis patients and standing up to tear apart certain fig leaves in the Chinese entertainment industry."

Yuan Li is considered a true beauty icon in the Chinese entertainment industry. She had great looks and figure in her early years, but unfortunately, she didn't take good care of herself and her appearance declined significantly as she got older.

Jiang Yifeng's insightful words were heartfelt and directly resonated with Yuan Li, making her feel like he was a kindred spirit.

She didn't know what to say to express her gratitude, so she could only wipe away her tears and repeat, "President Jiang understands me best!"

Jiang Yifeng joked, "Of course I understand you. You have a great figure, so you'd be perfect for joining our group."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Li not only straightened her head and puffed out her chest, but also proudly said with both hands, "Of course!"

Amidst Yuan Li's cheerful laughter, the group assignments concluded.

Liu Yifei's group: Li Wen, Gao Yuanyuan, Sun Yanzi, Tong Liya, Cao Xiwen, Ye Xuan;
Shuchang Group: Tian Zhen, Gong Linna, Fan Bingbing, Zhou Haimei, Weng Hong, Huang Yi;
Jing Tian's group: Elva Hsiao, Ayumi Hamasaki, Zhou Xun, Dong Xuan, Li Xiaolu, Wan Qian;
Yang Mi's group: Na Ying, Rong Zu'er, Huo Siyan, Yuan Yongyi, Liu Tao, Zhang Ziyi;
Jiang Yifeng's group: Li Xiaoran, Qin Lan, Wang Ou, Liu Yan, Hou Peichen, Yuan Li;
After the group stage, the first PK match will begin to capture cards.

After the draw, Jiang Yifeng's team was matched against Yang Mi's team.

Jiang Yifeng dispatched his ace, Yuan Li.

At this moment, Yuan Li was energized by Jiang Yifeng's persuasion and was eager to show off her skills.

After some discussion, Yang Mi's group finally decided that Zhang Ziyi would perform.

Zhang Ziyi, who prides herself on her fame and status, was only selected in the sixth round, and she was furious and wanted to vent her anger.

Yuan Li versus Zhang Ziyi: A major drama is about to unfold.

The game still revolves around making threats.

Zhang Ziyi immediately asked, "Haven't you taken on any roles in a long time? No production team wants you anymore, right?"

Yuan Li gripped the handle and swung it hard at Zhang Ziyi, delivering a fatal blow.

"I'm busy with charity work every day, calculating salaries for my employees, and donating real money. I don't have time to film movies."

You, a fraudulent donor, would never understand how busy I am!

These words caused an uproar throughout the room, and all the sisters were shocked!
No one expected that Yuan Li would unleash a powerful move right from the start, delivering a devastating blow to Zhang Ziyi!
This is a blatant slap in the face, showing absolutely no respect.

Zhang Ziyi's face turned pale with anger. She became a little anxious and began to reveal: "Is it true that you abandoned your boyfriend of many years, Xu Wei, for Zhang Guoli?"

Yuan Li didn't care at all. She said, "It's just the production team hyping it up. Let me ask you, do the grape seeds that Jackie Chan spits out smell particularly good?"

Zhang Ziyi: "???"
