My Website Is About to Go Bankrupt

Fang Yang, a struggling bar singer, soul-transferred into a parallel universe where he inherited a dying website and a music academy, graduating from a student who lost both parents. He revived th...

Chapter 189, /.

Mu Yu's eyes darted around, seemingly unable to tell the difference. Even after two days here, there were still many vegetables in the soil that Mu Yu couldn't recognize.

“It’s not just you; many people who grew up in the city wouldn’t recognize you, and even in the countryside, there are quite a few who wouldn’t recognize you. This is not surprising.”

This was the first time Mu Yu had ever heard of someone living in the countryside who couldn't even recognize vegetables. "President Fang, really? He lives by the fields every day and can't even recognize the vegetables growing in his own soil?"

"What's so strange about that? Nowadays, many people in rural areas are better off, so their children don't have to work in the fields anymore. They can focus on their studies and won't choose to return to the countryside after graduating from university. These people know nothing about farm work. Asking them to learn about vegetables is just asking them a lot of trouble."

"Focusing on your studies is always good. As a student, it's natural to study your major, but you can't become a spoiled brat in life because of studying. How will such a person adapt to society after graduation?"

Fang Yang believed Huang Guang's words, but it was definitely not a common phenomenon. As children from farming families, they would always help with household chores within their capabilities, and in some places, they were even the main labor force in their families. Of course, those families were relatively poor, and the adults had to go out to earn money, so the children became independent and self-reliant from a young age, taking care of everything at home.

Mu Yu didn't quite understand Fang Yang's words. Because her family was well-off, she had never suffered any hardship growing up. After graduating from university, she smoothly signed with Yuewen Entertainment Media. She had a smooth and successful career and was considered a lucky person. How could she know that there were people struggling below the poverty line who had to work hard every day just to make ends meet?

Xu Peng, oblivious to everything around him, quickly filled the basin with water, the clinking and clattering sounds drawing the attention of the livestream viewers, much more so than the silent fishing duo.

"When I arrived, I received a call from Hunan TV. Yesterday, the ratings for the first episode of our variety show came out, and it just broke 2, which is an explosive result. As newcomers, you and Xu Peng have a lot of exposure, so in future recordings, you must stick to yourselves and not be affected by the external environment, so that you can go further in the future!"

Fang Yang watched Xu Peng diligently working on the snails and felt a surge of emotion. Xu Peng was the kind of kid who had little education and experience, a typical country boy. But ever since filming "Shaolin Temple," Xu Peng had devoted himself to learning acting. He was the most hardworking and fastest-improving student in his cohort. Now, he had a solid foundation in acting skills. When he played Yang Guo in Wang Jialiang's production team, he was repeatedly praised by Wang Jialiang. People who are hardworking and eager to learn are always easily recognized.

If "Shaolin Temple" was the first time Xu Peng was introduced to the public and made people remember his face, then this variety show was the first time Xu Peng entered thousands of households. Xu Peng's diligence allowed him to quickly gain a large number of fans. At least for now, the biggest beneficiary of the entire program is Xu Peng, and at this time Xu Peng is still in the dark!

"Really? Then I'm famous all over the country now! Hehe!"

Mu Yu smiled wistfully. As a musician, fan spending accounts for a large proportion of her income. However, Mu Yu's current popularity is still somewhat lacking. To increase her popularity quickly, appearing on television more often is the best way. Mu Yu did not debut through a talent show. Although she has gained some recognition in the industry with a few songs, her total number of fans is still a bit lacking.

If Mu Yu could make herself remembered by the entire internet through this variety show, it would be a meteoric rise for her. Unlike Zheng Xiuli, who only escaped the awkward situation of being known but not recognized by the audience after performing with Fang Yang at the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala on Shanghai TV, Mu Yu was able to rise to fame with Fang Yang's support and eventually break into the top tier of the entertainment industry with just one album.

With so many talented people at Yuewen Entertainment Media, it's impossible to put all resources on one person, Zheng Xiuli. Because Fang Yang is busy this year, there's no time to create songs specifically for her. Her current fame is entirely due to last year's success. If she doesn't have any hit songs for a long time, it's inevitable that her ranking will drop.

"You will definitely become famous, it just depends on how well you perform on the show. If you don't perform well, even the best platform will be wasted, and you may end up becoming famous for being infamous. So as a junior, you need to be proactive and the audience will like you, but you can't go too far to steal the spotlight. You need to grasp the right balance."

With the cameraman carrying the camera behind them, Fang Yang naturally couldn't speak too openly. He had to say these things secretly, avoiding the camera. Compared to the three of them doing nothing, Xu Peng, who was busy picking snails, attracted more attention from the viewers in the live broadcast room. Most of the camera shots were given to Xu Peng.

Having been in the entertainment industry for so many years, Huang Guang naturally knows the ins and outs of it very well. "Xiao Yu'er, your role is that of a girl next door, so you don't need to cater to anyone. You just need to focus on yourself. Whether it's you or Xiao Xu, if you do your job well, you'll naturally have many opportunities to appear on screen. You should know that you two are regular guests, which gives you a natural advantage that no amount of money can buy."

Mu Yu smiled brightly, "Thank you, Teacher Huang. I will remember your words and will never let you and President Fang down."

Just then, Zhang Ze had a fish on his hook and shouted excitedly, "Got it! It's at least a big fish weighing over ten pounds. With that momentum, it definitely won't get away!"

Fang Yang found it amusing. "Old Zhang is bragging again. It'll be good if it weighs two or three pounds."

At this moment, all the cameras focused on Zhang Ze, and Huang Guang laughed and said, "Looks like Teacher Zhang has a criminal record?"

Fang Yang pursed his lips, "That's right. When we were in the sea, a fish that weighed three or five pounds was blown into the size of a fish weighing ten or twenty pounds. After playing it for almost half an hour, when we pulled it up, we didn't even need a net. We could just use a pole to catch it on the boat."

"Pfft, uh uh uh," Mu Yu couldn't help but burst into laughter. As a big star, she really wouldn't have discovered Zhang Ze's unknown dirty secret unless there were special circumstances!

"Don't tell anyone, or Old Zhang will be embarrassed."

Fang Yang suppressed a laugh and greeted the two of them. Anyway, the camera was focused on Zhang Ze right now. If they caught a small fish later, it would be Zhang Ze who would be embarrassed. This was different from deliberately exposing himself.

"We promise we won't tell anyone, but what the viewers in the live stream think is none of our business!"

Fang Yang smiled, guessing that the live stream would be lively later, and there would definitely be a lot of discussion. Who said it was a bad thing?
