…
Each episode of "Ace" revolves around a theme and invites two ace teams. The two teams' fixed captains each lead a number of popular IP guests to compete in PK battles. The ace of aces is decided through talent competitions and game competitions.
The theme of Xu Kailai's issue this time is the most popular international superstars.
The guests invited by "Ace" are Xu Kai, Zhu Bing and Zhang Zhiwei - in fact, these people were called by Xu Kai, otherwise, neither Zhu Bing nor Zhang Zhiwei would have been able to appear on such a variety show. You know, as women of Xu Kai, the world's richest man, they are not short of money. They are still filming now, mainly for their interest and hobby, not for making money.
The show began with the opening dance performed by Xu Li, Zhen Xiaoling, Martian and Guan Xiaoli - "Star in Troubled Times".
After the opening dance, the host Xu Tao interacted with Xu Li, Zhen Xiaoling, Martian and Guan Xiaoli for a while, and then announced loudly: "Welcome international superstar Yu Qingyun, welcome international superstar Zhu Bing, welcome international superstar Zhang Zhiwei!!!"
As Xu Tao spoke, Xu Kai, Zhu Bing and Zhang Zhiwei made a brilliant appearance.
I have to say, Xu Li’s sense of variety shows is really strong now.
After seeing Xu Kai, Zhu Bing and Zhang Zhiwei, three people he was very familiar with and even invited by him, appear on the scene, Xu Li immediately pretended to be surprised and asked Xu Kai: "Why are you here?"
Xu Kai smiled and said, "There are rumors out there that we two brothers are not getting along, so I came to your show to clarify it."
Xu Li: "Is there such a rumor? No way, we are brothers from the same mother. You only have me as your younger brother, and I only have you as my older brother. What kind of fool would spread such an unreliable rumor?"
Xu Kai smiled. With his status, he certainly couldn't use jokes to insult others like Xu Li did.
Zhen Xiaoling took the opportunity to say, "Hello, boss."
Strictly speaking, Xu Kai is no longer Zhen Xiaoling's boss - two years ago, Zhen Xiaoling told Yang Xinchun that she wanted to set up a studio and be responsible for her own profits and losses.
Yang Xinchun asked Xu Kai what he thought about this matter.
Xu Kai felt that this kind of thing could not be forced, so he asked Zhang Xiaosu to discuss with Zhen Xiaoling the conditions for Zhen Xiaoling to leave.
In the end, after fully considering Zhen Xiaoling's opinions, Happy Maizi invested 80 million in Zhen Xiaoling, accounting for 40% of Zhen Xiaoling's studio shares, and Zhen Xiaoling and her team accounted for 60% of Zhen Xiaoling's shares.
In other words, Zhen Xiaoling's studio is now considered one of the subsidiaries of Happy Maizi, and Zhen Xiaoling is her own boss.
Of course, it makes sense if Zhen Xiaoling insists on calling Xu Kai boss. After all, Xu Kai was Zhen Xiaoling's former boss and now still holds 40% of the shares of Zhen Xiaoling's studio.
Xu Kai looked at the chubby Zhen Xiaoling and said with a smile, "I heard that you are now the most favorable competitor for my sister-in-law?"
Zhen Xiaoling: "Boss, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything you want. Everyone knows that my husband is Liu Hua, and now all we have to do is meet and get the marriage certificate."
Xu Kai smiled when he heard this: "How about I help you arrange a meeting with Liu Hua?"
Zhen Xiaoling pretended to be very shy and said, "That's not good." Then she changed her mind and said, "I'm always available."
Everyone burst into laughter.
After laughing, Guan Xiaoli stepped forward and said, "Father, long time no see."
Don't get me wrong, it's not that Xu Kai had another daughter out of nowhere, but Guan Xiaoli debuted as a child star and in her early years she only played the role of a daughter for others.
When Xu Kai performed in "The Empress of China" that year, Guan Xiaoli played Xu Kai's daughter Princess Changle.
As one of Li Shimin's favorite daughters, Guan Xiaoli and Xu Kai had many rival scenes at that time, and Xu Kai also took good care of Guan Xiaoli. Therefore, not only in the play, but also outside the play, Guan Xiaoli called Xu Kai "father".
Who would have thought that almost ten years have passed in a flash, and Guan Xiaoli has transformed from a teenage national daughter into an actress with great potential. She has grown amazingly along the way, and after continuously cooperating with many well-known domestic actors, her acting skills have improved by leaps and bounds. She is no longer satisfied with the well-behaved and cute screen image, and is eager to break through herself, which has made her acting range wider and wider, and her star path more and more open.
At present, it is not known whether Guan Xiaoli has any plans to develop in the direction of comedy. She has established herself in the popular variety show "Ace" by relying on her solid learning ability, lively and cheerful personality, sometimes easy-going and sometimes quirky, and her changeable image but not lacking in cleverness and cuteness.
Xu Kai looked at Guan Xiaoli, who was at least 1.72 meters tall, with a pair of long legs that almost took up two-thirds of her body, and had a sweet and pretty face, and said with a smile: "My little princess has grown so big. Wow, it seems that I am really old."
Zhen Xiaoling heard this and widened her eyes and asked, "Boss, are you showing off?"
Then, Zhen Xiaoling walked to Xu Li, pinched Xu Li's face naturally, and said, "Boss, it means you admit that Brother Li is your brother, otherwise we will definitely think that Brother Li is your uncle."
When Xu Li heard this, he glanced at Zhen Xiaoling with his eyes slanted, his eyes full of naked dissatisfaction.
This wave of tacit interaction between Zhen Xiaoling and Xu Li made not only the guests on the stage but also the audience in the audience laugh out loud.
Zhen Xiaoling came to Xu Kai again, covered her mouth with her hands, and whispered, "Boss, would you mind telling me what brand of preservatives you are taking? I'll go buy some later."
This time Xu Kai was also amused by Zhen Xiaoling. He finally understood why Zhen Xiaoling, with her looks, was doing so well in the entertainment industry.
Guan Xiaoli then said, "Yes, Father, you see the two of us standing together as a couple, there is no sense of disobedience at all, otherwise let me play the leading role in your next drama, how about we shoot "Time Travel Cohabitation 2", and I will fall in love with Father."
Guan Xiaoli reacted for a moment, and then said, "Hey, I think my love affair with my father can also be made into a movie."
Xu Li took over and said: "It can be filmed and it is very interesting. The question is whether the relevant departments can let you broadcast it."
Seeing Xu Li, Zhen Xiaoling and Guan Xiaoli talking non-stop to Xu Kai, the Martians who brought money into the group had no chance to interrupt, and this also left Zhu Bing and Zhang Zhiwei out of the conversation.
You know, although Zhu Bing and Zhang Zhiwei are not as famous as Xu Kai now, they are still the number one beauty and number one fighting girl in China, and the top Chinese female stars.
So the director in the audience quickly winked at Xu Tao.
Seeing this, Xu Tao found a chance to say, "Master Qing, the reason why our production team went to great lengths to get you, Sister Bing, and Sister Wei here this time is not only because we hope that you, Sister Bing, and Sister Wei can add luster to our production team, but also because one of our Ace Family has always wanted to apologize to you in person."
Having said that, Xu Tao looked at the Martian.
Seeing this, the Martian took a deep breath, then came to Xu Kai, bowed deeply, and said, "Master Qing, I was young and frivolous and too self-righteous back then. I will pour you some tea to apologize."
As soon as the Martian finished speaking, a staff member really brought him a cup of tea.
Seeing this, some people who don’t pay attention to Martians still don’t know what is going on?
Then, someone nearby immediately told this unaware person a piece of gossip that had been lingering about the Martians for almost ten years.
This story began more than nine years ago.
At that time, Xu Kai was forced by Yang Xinchun and Yang Xindong to participate in "Singer".
Then, Xu Kai wrote a poem "Xiaochou" for Tian Haitang.
As a result, Tian Haitang and "Xiaochou" became famous overnight.
There are also some extreme people who believe that the evaluation of "Singer" is unfair and that Tian Haitang should have won first place.
Among the many comments discussing Tian Haitang and "Xiaochou", some people also focused on Xu Kai, the composer of "Xiaochou", believing that Xu Kai is a great musician and unparalleled in music.
At that time, Xu Kai and "Xiaochou" were a hot topic on the Internet.
Just at that time, a singer who had just debuted through a talent show suddenly emerged.
I don't know if this talent show singer wanted to take advantage of the popularity or if he really thought Xu Kai's song was not well written. He even criticized Xu Kai by name: "Although many people like this song, as a professional music producer, I say that the lyrics of this song are just okay, but the music is a mess. It is not a qualified song at all. Was this song written by an amateur?"
And that singer from the talent show is the Martian who is now pouring tea to Xu Kai to apologize.
Although Yang Xinchun and Yang Xindong's Happy Studio quickly issued an announcement on the official Weibo account, listing all the songs that Xu Kai had "created" before, it severely slapped the Martians in the face.
But the matter has never ended there.
Martians have been criticized for this a lot over the years.
It can even be said that every time Xu Kai releases a famous song, someone will drag out the Martians and whip their corpses.
What makes the Martians collapse is that Xu Kai has released several or even dozens of famous songs every year in recent years, including epic music such as "Victory", "Star Sky", "Ei Dorado", "He's a Pirate" and "Never Back Down".
To say that Xu Kai is such an amateur, the Martian undoubtedly kicked the adamantium.
Honestly, this is definitely the dumbest thing Martian has ever done since his debut.
Let me put it this way, if the capital power behind Martian was not so strong, he would definitely have no place in the entertainment industry just based on his stupid remarks.
And now, although Martian is still in the entertainment industry with the support of capital behind him and can monopolize resources such as "Ace", he is still not liked by many people.
In this situation, the Martian certainly hopes that he can gain Xu Kai's forgiveness so that fewer people will scold him.
The Martian now gets along well with Xu Li, and Xu Li, Zhen Xiaoling, Guan Xiaoli and the Martian have formed an ace family.
For Xu Li's sake, the Martian's words were not a big deal to Xu Kai. Xu Kai was not hurt by the incident and instead behaved in a Versailles manner.
The most important thing is, with Xu Kai's current status, there is really no need to bother with the ant-like Martians.
So, Xu Kai smiled and patted the Martian on the shoulder, saying, "When I was that age, I was even more arrogant than you were then, don't take it to heart."
After saying this, Xu Kai took the teacup from the Martian and drank it all in one gulp.
If things had ended here, we could have just used the phrase "all grudges are forgotten when we meet and smile again" to describe this nearly ten-year-long feud.
But I don’t know if the Martian is too conceited, or is unwilling to apologize to Xu Kai, or if he really thinks he is a peerless musical genius.
In the next segment, the Martian suddenly said to Xu Kai without following the script: "Master Qing, I play the piano well, how about you give me some guidance?"
When Martian was thirteen years old, he had already reached level 10 in piano. Although there is still some gap compared to those top pianists, compared with the vast majority of musicians, Martian's piano level definitely has an overwhelming advantage.
Seeing that the Martians didn't cry until they saw the coffin, Xu Kai said with a smile: "You really work hard for the effect of the show."
The Martian heard this and said, not knowing whether it was true or not: "All the people who watch Ace are here to see Brother Li and Sister Ling. If I don't work hard, I will have no sense of existence."
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting tense, Xu Li quickly interrupted, "Why, you don't even mention our Xiaoli at this time?"
Guan Xiaoli smiled helplessly after hearing that.
Xu Kai discovered that Xu Li was really suitable for variety shows, and his ability to control the situation was really good.
Xu Kai felt that he couldn't ruin Xu Li's performance, so he joked, "How about I whistle a song with you?"
Seeing that Xu Kai was going to whistle a song with the Martians, everyone was surprised.
You know, the mouth is not a musical instrument after all, so it is very difficult to get the pitch right.
Moreover, to play a whole piece of music, one not only needs to be in tune, but also has to have a strong lung capacity.
In short, playing a whistle together with the piano is extremely difficult.
What makes people speechless and makes people feel that the Martians have a bad vision is that they actually want to collaborate with Xu Kaihe on "Flight of the Bumblebee".
Everyone who is involved in music knows that "Flight of the Bumblebee" is one of the most difficult pieces of music to play. If you want to play "Flight of the Bumblebee", you not only need strong skills, but also your hand speed must be able to keep up.
It is already so difficult to play "Flight of the Bumblebee" with your hands, let alone playing it with your mouth.
Many people wonder: "How big a lung capacity and how high a musical attainment does it take to play Flight of the Bumblebee with your mouth?"
Some people also believe that Xu Kai would never agree to the Martians' excessive demands.
But what was unexpected was that Xu Kai agreed with a smile.
Then, a scene that shocked everyone appeared.
I saw Xu Kaizhen whistling "Flight of the Bumblebee" with the Martians.
What was even more unexpected was that Xu Kai's whistle actually dominated. In other words, Xu Kai was still leading the Martians! You know, whistling is not difficult, but it is absolutely difficult to whistle such a high pitch without breaking the sound.
What’s even more difficult is that all of Xu Kai’s notes are extremely accurate and without any noise.
The most difficult thing is that Xu Kai can lead the Martian, a piano master, to take absolute control of this ensemble just by using his mouth.
It is no exaggeration to say that Xu Kai's whistle is absolutely amazing! When the ensemble of "Flight of the Bumblebee" was over, Xu Kai's face was red but his heart was not beating fast. On the other hand, the Martian was not only sweating profusely, but his hands were also shaking.
As luck would have it, Guan Xiaoli, who saw this scene, said to Zhen Xiaoling beside her: "Sister Ling, do you think Lao Hua's hand is cramped?"
Unexpectedly, Guan Xiaoli's very ordinary joke made the Martian blush immediately, and even a flash of resentment appeared in his eyes.
Guan Xiaoli never expected that a joke she made for the sake of show effect would actually cause resentment from the Martians.
This made Guan Xiaoli frown, and her heart tightened...
