This director lacks vision.

Chapter 252 A Person Should Have a Clever Side

On the morning of October 8th, Jiang Yifeng arrived at the recording studio again to participate in the recording of the second season of Sisters Who Make Waves.

After entering the dressing room, Liu Yifei teased, "Old Jiang, you'd better keep your underwear safe this time, don't let it get stolen."

Your underwear is something the whole internet is talking about.

Shu Chang also joked, "I am Jiang Yifeng's underwear, and I endorse myself!"

Seeing that the dressing room was full of his own people, just him and the four very sweet girls, Jiang Yifeng said, "I don't have any underwear left, you guys have taken them all."

Yang Mi asked, "What do you mean?"

Jing Tian said, "You don't understand, this is a message from our internal group."

Upon hearing this, Yang Mi felt distressed. She couldn't join the internal group and felt as if she was being ostracized.

One of the consequences of Yuan Li stealing underwear on the show was that Jiang Yifeng's underwear joke went viral online, becoming a synonym for male charm.

At first, netizens were just making fun of the fusion meme.

"Woman, you're playing with fire. Do you know I'm wearing Jiang Yifeng's underwear?"

"I finally understand Superman. It turns out that wearing underwear on the outside really works, but it has to be Jiang Yifeng's underwear."

"Jiang Yifeng's underwear, you deserve to own it!"

"Only with Jiang Yifeng underwear can you remain calm and composed."

These memes are all combinations of other popular internet memes, and netizens have also created many images and posted them all over the internet.

For example, replacing Superman's head with Jiang Yifeng's, or photoshopping CEO idol drama characters into underwear or Jiang Yifeng, and creating animated GIFs.

While these memes are funny, they haven't formed a unified style of speech and are rather scattered.

Seeing this, Jiang Yifeng didn't put on airs. Instead, he took the initiative to edit a short video, "The Confession of a Pair of Underwear," and uploaded it to Sohu Video.

You only see the glamorous exterior.

But I didn't see my restraint in swallowing and exhaling the tides;
You have your own outerwear trend.

I have my own personal mission.

You mock me for always being hidden in the shadows.

I pity you for never understanding the measure of freedom;

You deny the boundaries of my flexibility.

I will prove who the ultimate defense is.

Dreams are like a suffocating package.
There will inevitably be pulling and deformation along the way.

so what?

Even if I'm torn apart, I'll maintain my dignity.

"I am Jiang Yifeng's underwear, and I endorse myself!"

Jiang Yifeng has over 2000 million followers on Sohu Video.

Since Fengxing Media began its standardized development, it has formed a matrix of video accounts, and much of the video content has been moved from Jiang Yifeng's account and published on other accounts.

Jiang Yifeng's account on Sohu Video hasn't been updated with videos for a while.

But everyone still looks forward to his updates.

This video immediately attracted a lot of attention after it was released.

Many netizens clicked to see and found that Jiang Yifeng was making fun of his own underwear.

Moreover, this confession from the underwear is really interesting.

The text is Jiang Yifeng's imitation of the "Chen Ou style" that was once very popular on the Internet.

"I am Chen Ou, and I speak for myself." This statement brought Jumei.com a huge amount of traffic.

The Chen Ou style hasn't appeared yet, but Jiang Yifeng used it in the underwear meme, which received widespread praise from netizens.

"They're back! They're all back! This is Jiang Yifeng's style when he used to make internet videos!"

"Haha, I am Jiang Yifeng's underwear. I endorse myself. President Jiang's imagination is truly boundless."

"Even if I'm bursting, I'll still maintain my dignity. That's an awesome statement!"

“I believe Jiang Yifeng when he says that; there is indeed a risk that his underwear will be torn.”

“You’re all laughing, but I see inspiration and philosophy in this confession.”

"That's right. In fact, in life, we ordinary people often play the role of underwear."

Those who appear glamorous may be leaders or celebrities.

They are the outer garments, while we are merely the underwear, working and contributing silently without being seen or appreciated.

"Jiang Yifeng's words are so well written. At first, I thought they were funny. How can underwear have a monologue?"
Watching it a few more times, one can taste the helplessness of life; dreams are destined to be suffocating wraps, and we are all like underwear that no one can see.

Tonight, we all speak for our underwear!

"Brothers, I've written a message modeled after underwear, what do you think?"

……

In just two hours, Jiang Yifeng's "Confession of a Pair of Underwear" garnered over ten million views and millions of reposts.

The video quickly went viral online.

After watching the video, people were amused and also did some thinking.

Many people have found this statement to be somewhat naive and passionate, a very interesting personal declaration that can be used to introduce many things.

As a result, a large number of netizens began to imitate the text of Jiang Yifeng's video and create their own works, which gradually formed the "underwear style".

For example, a certain Weibo influencer.

"You only see my temporary popularity, but you don't see my continuous efforts;"

You have your choices, I have my rules;
You deny my present, I decide my future;
You laugh at me for not being popular enough and not worth paying attention to. I pity you for not understanding the internet, which is not surprising.
You may underestimate our youth, but we will prove that this is the age of the internet.

The internet is a journey that is destined to be long, and there will inevitably be downs and failures along the way.

so what?

Even if we are covered in wounds, we must keep moving forward.

I am a Weibo influencer, and I speak for myself.

Later versions appeared, including workplace versions, student versions, and versions for those born in the 90s...

As it developed, versions emerged representing the eight major cuisines, various universities, celebrities, and provinces, among others.

Local government agencies, universities, and various official accounts all participated in the creation, using underwear-themed images to express their personal statements, thereby introducing themselves and achieving a promotional effect.

In no time, the "underwear body" became a viral sensation across the internet.

This was something Jiang Yifeng hadn't expected.

He just felt that a person should have a sense of humor.

When a person starts to act arrogantly and become increasingly self-important, it's a sign that they're becoming pedantic, boring, and about to decline.

When you're online, never think you're so great that you act all high and mighty. You should always keep a humble attitude and be witty.

Memes are what the masses love to see and hear. For example, the meme about Chicken Bro turned many people from haters to neutrals.

Take Lei Zi for example. A funny video of him saying "Are you ok?", which seemed like an embarrassing moment, made many people know and like him, and helped him establish an approachable image.

Jiang Yifeng, who works in the entertainment industry, understands that entertaining everyone is the most important thing.

Since the underwear meme has become popular, the best choice is not to resist it, but to actively play with or even create memes.

Moreover, in the program, Jiang Yifeng was merely a victim whose underwear was stolen.

Even if people criticize, they'll criticize Yuan Li and Huang Yi.

I both envy and sympathize with Jiang Yifeng.

Jiang Yifeng is so charming that his underwear was stolen;

It's also a pity that Jiang Yifeng is so charming that his underwear was stolen.

Of course, there are also many women who admire strength, and therefore prefer Jiang Yifeng.

It's like ZBC stealing ZYX's underwear; everyone will only laugh at ZBC, no one will say anything bad about ZYX, and many people will even marvel at EXO's popularity and the madness of their fans.

So Jiang Yifeng imitated Chen Ou's style and actively used memes.

He knew the meme would go viral, but he didn't expect so many official accounts to use it.

Even major media outlets like CCTV News and People's Daily Online are imitating the "underwear-themed" style in promoting their accounts.

This instantly made the "underwear meme" quite popular, truly creating a nationwide phenomenon. Jiang Yifeng's fame also increased significantly with the spread of the "underwear meme."

Even Jiang Yifeng's harem members changed their attitude.

At first, they were quite angry about Yuan Li stealing underwear.

After seeing everyone making fun of it online, they burst out laughing and started posting pictures of Jiang Yifeng's underwear in the group chat every day.

After the underwear trend became popular, they not only rushed to imitate it, but also started fighting over Jiang Yifeng's underwear.

Jiang Yifeng has been changing his underwear very frequently these past few days, wearing one pair after another.

He knew that it was his harem of beauties playing a joke on him.

It has to be said that memes are powerful; they can unite even the most contentious harem groups.

After chatting about the underwear joke for a while, Yang Mi started to gather information: "Qianqian, what kind of performance is your group planning to put on this time?"

Although this season of Sisters Who Make Waves is filmed in a closed environment for two days each week, everyone trains on the show.

But someone will always get involved.

Some groups will have extra training sessions during breaks.

After all, the group assignments were already decided after the previous episode was recorded.

Five days have passed between today's recording and the actual recording.

The three groups, Shu Chang, Liu Yifei, and Yang Mi, communicated offstage and selected their performance programs well in advance, gathering together to rehearse beforehand.

This is how you can perform better and get a higher score.

This season of Sisters Who Make Waves is incredibly popular, and the conflicts are fierce. These sisters don't want to lose face, so they're training very hard.

Except for those who have something to do, they will participate in training on their own initiative.

Upon hearing Yang Mi's question, Liu Yifei said, "I can't tell you that, but if you're willing to talk about your group's program, I can."

Yang Mi said with a smile, "Our group hasn't been decided yet."

This was treating Liu Yifei like a fool. Liu Yifei replied, "Our group hasn't been decided yet either."

Jing Tian asked, "What are you talking about?"
The recording of the second episode only started today. The program content to be performed was only decided today, followed by training, and the stage performance will take place tomorrow.

The program is definitely not finalized!

Like Jiang Yifeng, Jing Tian did not convene a group training session; both of them were busy filming Pacific Rim 2.

Moreover, Jing Tian herself never expected that she could receive extra training in advance.

Fortunately, everything has two sides.

The group didn't practice beforehand, which put them at a disadvantage during the competition, but gave them a significant advantage in terms of entertainment value.

Jing Tian's group is like that.

When the show started recording today, and their group was discussing what to perform, Zhou Xun finally began to reveal his true nature as "Da Ru".

Elva Hsiao suggested, "How about we do a high-energy dance track, dress up a bit, and show off our hot charm on stage!"

Zhou Xun shook his head: "That won't do. Women can't just flaunt their sexiness. That's not good. We need to be elegant and dignified."

Besides, there aren't many sexy figures in our group.

Li Xiaolu and Dong Xuan: "???"

Ayumi Hamasaki said through a translator, "How about we sing an English song? The English song that Hot Love sang in the last episode worked pretty well."

Zhou Xun pursed his lips: "This is a Chinese program, it's not good to sing English songs. I think you should do as the Romans do and sing Chinese songs with us."

Ayumi Hamasaki: "..."

Wan Qian, who had been speaking very little, finally changed her strategy, saying, "We're too pressed for time, so let's focus on the makeup and styling."

I suggest incorporating game elements; we could dress up as characters from World of Warcraft and perform a dance to the background music of "The Dawn."

Wan Qian, true to her Warcraft fandom, suggested something related to the game and even wanted to perform the Undead Overture.

However, it must be said that her suggestion was unconventional and creative.

If done well, it will be a truly eye-catching performance.

But Zhou Xun still shook his head.

"I don't think that's right. This is a serious program, how can we promote games?"
This is wrong. We should do something positive and beneficial; that will be good for everyone's image.

Hearing this, Jing Tian couldn't hold back any longer. She complained to Zhou Xun, "Everyone's suggestions are great, what's the point of you always contradicting them?"

Zhou Xun looked at Jing Tian and said, "Although you come from a good family, I am your senior. You should respect me. This is a traditional virtue of our Chinese nation."

In this group, Ayumi Hamasaki faced language barriers and cultural differences.

Apart from her, I am the most famous and experienced.

I was too low-key before, but I won't be anymore.

I should take responsibility and become the group leader.

I must step forward and point the way so that our group can have a more spectacular performance.

Jing Tian took a deep breath and said, "Let's not talk about the team leader's matter for now. Tell me your thoughts first."

Zhou Xun said, "The stage of Sisters Who Make Waves is too noisy, with all the jumping and hopping, which makes people tired of it."

Why don't we sing a soothing and quiet song? It would be a surprising choice and would also showcase the girl's pure and innocent beauty.

Zhou Xun glanced around and slowly said, "For example, my signature song—'Floating'."

Jing Tian's group, Elva Hsiao, Ayumi Hamasaki, Dong Xuan, Li Xiaolu, and Wan Qian: "???"

Ultimately, Zhou Xun just wanted to sing her signature song, "Drifting".

The audience in the entertainment industry changes very quickly. Everyone always praises Zhou Xun as a performance genius who can quickly immerse himself in emotions and is a benchmark for method actors.

Little did they know that Zhou Xun was a dancer by training and had worked as a resident singer in bars for several years.

Although her voice is husky, it is very distinctive, and she sings quite well. "Drifting" is her signature song.

Art is interconnected; it is precisely because of his experience in dance and singing that Zhou Xun has been able to improve his performances.

But after saying a lot of high-sounding things, she ended up singing her own song and expecting everyone to accommodate her.

It's really disgusting.

Before Jing Tian could speak, Li Xiaolu launched into a tirade: "Who do you think you are? I debuted earlier than you. When I won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress, you were still licking Cheng Kaige's boots!"

Zhou Xun: "???"

Li Xiaolu had been looking for an opportunity to steal the spotlight, but in the last episode, Yuan Li, Zhang Ziyi, Huo Siyan, Huang Yi, and others stole the limelight, and she didn't get much screen time.

Don't be fooled by the fact that some of the women are being criticized and seem to be suffering a lot.

But even negative traffic is still traffic, and their actual image is just that—image.

Putting aside other things, Zhang Ziyi and Huo Siyan have gained millions of followers on Weibo, and they can earn a lot of money by posting a single Weibo ad.

Li Xiaolu's words were very harsh and showed her no respect whatsoever.

Zhou Xun's face darkened, and he asked, "I debuted in 1991, what year did you debut?"

That's actually a bit shameless; they're calculating their debut date way too early.

But Li Xiaolu wasn't intimidated at all. She said, "I debuted in 1986!"
I acted in a movie when I was 5 years old, and I was the lead, not some minor supporting role like yours.

Zhou Xun: "..."

Li Xiaolu's grandfather was the production manager of the 81 Film Studio, her father was a director at the studio, and her mother was a star—she's definitely a second-generation rich kid.

Zhou Xun is truly incomparable in this respect.

As for Jinma, who won the Best Actress award, Zhou Xun is no match for her.

Because Li Xiaolu won awards and became famous earlier than her.

Li Xiaolu continued, "I'm your senior, and I haven't been acting like I'm superior. What gives you the right?"

Although Li Xiaolu is 7 years younger than Zhou Xun, she is indeed Zhou Xun's senior in the industry.

Faced with Li Xiaolu's questioning, Zhou Xun was speechless.

Seeing Zhou Xun get his comeuppance made the rest of the group feel very satisfied, and even Jing Tian found Li Xiaolu more agreeable.

At this moment, she also understood Jiang Yifeng's feelings.

There's someone in the group who's really good at arguing, and they're actually quite useful.
