Shattering the talent show script, sweeping the world film scene

[My goodness, the whole thing was fifteen minutes long, and I was peeing while watching it.]

[Jiang Xiheng can even drive a bus? What has he learned all these years?]

[Is the driver alright? Luckily, Jiangxi Heng reacted quickly; a few seconds slower and the vehicle would have veered out of control and crashed to the side!]

[Was anyone injured? How much psychological trauma must this have caused?]

[Huh? Why is the screen black? Why isn't there any information about how it was handled afterwards?]

Cai Fu apologized to the audience and then cut the live stream off. This incident was a live stream accident and also a variety show accident. If anything unexpected had happened, the trouble would have been much greater.

"Dear viewers, we will address tonight's events in tomorrow's program. We currently need to handle some follow-up matters, so please stay tuned!"

Cai Fu removed all the cameras from the bus, carefully collected them, and handed them to Wang Tengteng. He then asked Wang to find the live-streaming team and cut out the key clips from earlier, saying they would definitely be useful later.

He turned to Jiangxi Hengxiao with a friendly smile.

"Xiheng, thanks to you this time. Are you hungry? Do you want to go to the rest stop for something to eat? Everyone else is at the rest stop, so we can take care of the rest."

Jiangxi Heng didn't want to cause trouble, so he nodded and said, "Okay."

As soon as he left, the contestants who were still somewhat disoriented after getting off the bus all followed him.

Cai Fu was taken aback, thinking to himself that the division of groups within the camp was about to change at this moment.

Jiangxi Heng is mentally resilient, unlike a real 18-year-old. So, regarding this incident, he was worried but not afraid. He just thought that it was time to find an opportunity to leave this "unqualified" and "non-compliant" talent show.

He turned his head and glanced at Xie Xingyan, who was silent and quiet to his left.

Thinking of the agreement between the two, his eyebrows twitched.

Forget it, he promised them. This performance is also a desperate struggle for Fang Weiyang and Chi Ziyou. Since he is leaving, he must leave in style and make sure to send the three of them to high positions before leaving.

When they arrived at the rest stop, the contestants in the car in front of them didn't know the specifics of the situation, only that the car behind them had had an accident. They immediately gathered around to gossip, and the contestants who were just thinking about expressing their feelings of surviving the ordeal all came forward, making the scene quite lively.

Jiangxi Heng found an empty spot to stand, put his hands in his pockets, and looked at the dark night outside the rest stop.

"Here you go." Xie Xingyan walked over, holding a bottle of mineral water and a bag of bread.

These are all supplies prepared by the production team. Even when we arrive at the rest stop, the production team will not give everyone money to buy things there.

As is well known, food at highway rest stops is much more expensive than outside.

Xie Xingyan didn't have any money on her, so she went to the logistics team to ask for some food.

It was already past nine o'clock. Everyone hadn't eaten dinner. Most young people get hungry quickly, but some were still shaken and forgot about their hunger. Others were carsick and unwell and had no appetite. The logistics team still had plenty of bread and bottled water left over.

Jiangxi Heng reached out and took the bottle, unscrewed the mineral water, drank a third of it, and then tore open the pineapple bun and ate it.

Xie Xingyan's eyes softened, showing that he was also worried about Jiangxi Heng's mental state.

There were no cameras or staff around, so he asked, "Weren't you scared back then?"

In his early years, Jiangxi Heng often ate quickly for filming, which gradually caused stomach problems. After careful recuperation, he developed the habit of chewing slowly and deliberately. Others who saw him thought he ate very slowly and elegantly.

He swallowed the bread in his mouth and said, "Who isn't afraid of death?"

"But you were very calm at the time. When Gu Zhoubai finished speaking and the driver closed his eyes, my mind went blank for several seconds until you told me to go forward and take the steering wheel..."

Jiangxi Heng glanced at him sideways: "All I know is that the more afraid you are, the calmer you need to be."

Xie Xingyan also understood this principle.

When he performed for the first time, standing on such a big stage, he felt not only ambition but also a touch of fear.

I'm afraid I won't make it to the end.

Muscle memory enabled him to complete his first dance, but he left the camera with the impression of a pretty but useless woman.

She appears stiff, awkward, and indifferent in front of the camera, relying solely on her pretty face.

Clearly, he could have done better.

A flicker of emotion crossed Xie Xingyan's eyes as he observed the increasingly changing Jiangxi Heng. He had to admit that even if Jiangxi Heng's professional skills in this field were not as good as his own for the time being, his mentality was far stronger.

Is it because of the ups and downs of these past ten years?

After finishing his last sip of water, Jiangxi Heng walked over and threw the bread wrapper and bottle into the trash can.

Xie Xingyan looked at him: "Why didn't you throw it in this time?"

Jiangxi Heng chuckled lightly: "That kind of pretentious behavior is just for show."

Xie Xingyan: "..."

He stared incredulously at Jiangxi Heng's retreating figure, thinking to himself: Is this what an actor is? Creating on-screen couples, building a persona, acting cool and pretentious—it's as easy as drinking water or eating?

But where is this person going now?

Xie Xingyan opened her fox-like eyes wide, a hint of curiosity flashing in them. After thinking for a moment, she lifted her leg and followed.

He soon found out what Jiangxi Heng was going to do, and he went to Gu Zhoubai and Qin Yushan's side.

Xie Xingyan frowned slightly. He had tried his best to comfort Qin Yushan in the car, but the man wouldn't listen and looked as gloomy as Jiangxi Heng before.

Gu Zhoubai stayed with Qin Yushan, remaining quiet and silent.

Gu Zhoubai subconsciously smiled when Jiangxi Heng came over, but was interrupted by Jiangxi Heng.

"Stop laughing, there are no cameras."

Gu Zhoubai: "..." He rubbed his stiff face, crossed his arms and sat hunched over, sighing, "Qin Yushan said he wants to withdraw from the competition."

Jiangxi Heng paused, was he about to withdraw from the competition?

That won't do. He wants to be the first person to withdraw from the show. This is a plot twist he prepared in advance. If someone withdraws first, the novelty of the plot will be greatly reduced.

Qin Yushan leaned against the wall and said in a low voice, "Don't say anything more. I'll stay here. If something really happens to us one day, I..."

Gu Zhoubai nudged Jiangxi Heng: "Jiangxi Heng, you should try to persuade him."

Qin Yushan looked at Jiangxi Heng with swollen, dog-like eyes.

Jiangxi Heng glanced at him and asked, "What are you planning to do after you withdraw from the competition?"

"Whatever..." Qin Yushan said listlessly.

"Would your company agree to this?"

Qin Yushan stiffened as if his lifeline had been seized.

Gu Zhoubai seized on the blind spot and immediately started gossiping: "Hey, right, you've participated in three talent shows already, and each time you caused some trouble and were eliminated halfway through. Your company still lets you participate in these shows? Aren't you afraid of wasting money?"

Gu Zhoubai, who doesn't own a company, clearly understands the ways in which capital manipulates talent shows.

Qin Yushan pursed his lips: "If Lingxi isn't among the debut spots this time, the production team will have to return at least 90% of the money Lingxi invested, won't it?"

Gu Zhoubai was taken aback: "There's such a thing?"
