Chapter 25 The Fallen Child Star 25
While Yao Rong and the assistant director were talking happily, Xu Weiheng was playing beach volleyball with Ping An.
To be exact, he watched Ping An use his head to push the beach volleyball.
After pushing it for a while, the volleyball was almost buried in the sand. Ping An tried his best but couldn't move the volleyball at all. He was so angry that he dug a big hole in the sand with his hind legs.
Xu Weiheng laughed and came over to help Ping An dig out the volleyball, and then put the volleyball on another flatter sand.
Ping An played volleyball for a while, then walked to Xu Weiheng's feet and lay down with his tongue hanging out, as if he couldn't stand the heat, so Xu Weiheng fed him some water.
Xu Yiyuan was walking by with his poodle, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but reveal some resentment in his eyes.
Suddenly, he had an idea.
Yao Rong and Xu Weiheng were hard to plot against, but a beast was also hard to plot against?
Thinking of this, Xu Yiyuan turned around to leave, but forgot that he was still holding the reins in his hand. The poodle, which was trotting forward, whimpered in pain when he pulled it like this.
Xu Weiheng heard the whimper and realized Xu Yiyuan: "You hurt it."
Xu Yiyuan stopped and sneered: "Just take care of your own pet."
What a meddling.
Xu Weiheng frowned, and saw Yao Rong coming over with two glasses of orange juice. He was too lazy to say anything to Xu Yiyuan, so he walked towards Yao Rong.
Xu Yiyuan stared at Xu Weiheng's back angrily for two seconds, and then moved his eyes to Ping An again.
His eyes were particularly deep.
Ping An shrank back when he looked at him.
[I'm so angry, why did this variety show invite Xu Yiyuan to participate? Now I'm annoyed when I see him]
[Does Xu Yiyuan know that he has no audience appeal, so he just gave up and stopped playing his little sun persona]
[Daily Question: Did Xu Yiyuan quit the entertainment industry today?]

The other side.
After saying goodbye to Yao Rong, assistant director Xiao Zhou returned to his room, opened the computer document, and started typing away.
With a specific and clear idea, he wrote a complete activity plan in just one hour, and even further optimized the plan based on Yao Rong's idea.
Assistant director Xiao Zhou rushed to the chief director's room holding the printed activity plan. Just as he was about to knock on the door, the door opened from the inside.
Xiao Xi stood inside the door, looking very proud.
"Oh, you've finished writing it. I thought you couldn't write it."
Assistant director Xiao Zhou smiled but didn't smile: "That won't happen."
"That's right, even if it's done poorly, it's better than doing nothing." Xiao Xi patted assistant director Xiao Zhou on the shoulder.
"Xiao Zhou is here, come in." The chief director's voice came from inside.
Assistant director Xiao Zhou walked inside and pushed Xiao Xi's body aside: "Make way, don't block my way."
Xiao Xi's face darkened, but when he thought of the activity plan he had made, he became determined.
His uncle is an old man in Taiwan, and he had previously revealed to him the news that the chief director would be promoted, so before the third season of "Dear Family" started recording, Xiao Xi had already made several activity plans.
The activity plan he just handed over to the chief director was modified based on one of them.
It can be said that it was the best activity plan he had made in his many years of work.
With such thorough preparations, Xiao Xi didn't believe that he couldn't outdo assistant director Xiao Zhou this time!
In the room, assistant director Xiao Zhou handed his activity plan to the chief director.
The chief director actually had already leaned towards Xiaoxi's proposal, but since assistant director Xiao Zhou was here to hand in his proposal, he had to take a look at it out of courtesy.
After just reading the first two sentences, the chief director said "Huh", sat up straight subconsciously, and continued to read carefully.
A few minutes later, the chief director was so excited that he slammed his head on the table and applauded: "I originally thought that Xiaoxi's proposal was already very good, but now yours is even better! Well done!"
The assistant director heard the clue: If it weren't for Yao Rong's help, the chief director would definitely adopt Xiaoxi's proposal. The
chief director put down the proposal: "Xiao Zhou, come and sit down. I have something to tell you first."
The assistant director sat down respectfully: "You go ahead."
The chief director revealed the news of his promotion to the assistant director.
Anyway, if you don't tell me now, everyone will know it in a few days.
The assistant director was happy for the chief director at first, but soon, he thought of the position that would be vacant after the chief director's promotion, and he became a little excited.
Could it be...
As expected, the chief director continued, "Tonight's event will be handed over to you. You should work hard and strive to make the number of viewers in the live broadcast room reach a new high."
The assistant director was overjoyed and more grateful to Yao Rong.
This favor is really a big debt!
***
The four groups of guests were almost all in separate activities, so the whole day was calm.
But this calmness was like the suppressed storms stacked up on the sea level.
As the audience waited in anticipation, night fell, heavy rain poured down, the clock in the living room pointed to seven o'clock on time, and the guests gathered together.
The host appeared again, smiling and announcing tonight's event -
truth or dare.
Half of the questions that the guests have to answer will be drawn from the bullet screen, and the other half will be asked by other guests.
When the host introduced this, the guests were able to remain calm.
But as the host read out the next rule of the game, Wen Qiu and Shi Qingqing both exclaimed, and Xu Ji and Xu Yiyuan's faces, as expected, sank.
Even Yao Rong, who knew the inside story a long time ago, had to sigh that the program crew really knew how to play.
"Our program team has specially prepared eight polygraphs. Before the event begins, we will connect these eight polygraphs to your wrists."
"After you answer the questions, if the polygraph lights up green, it means you are not lying."
"If the red light comes on, the guest needs to continue answering questions. However, in this round, the opportunity to ask questions will be transferred from the bullet screen to other guests."
"Okay. Now does everyone have any questions about the rules of the game?"
Yao Rong raised his hand and asked, "May I ask how accurate the polygraph prepared by the program team is?"
The host was stunned and secretly admired: Yao Rong's question really hit the point.
"These polygraphs were purchased by the program team at a high price, and the accuracy is said to be 99.99%."
Yao Rong nodded: "That is to say, the instrument may still have errors. Sometimes, although the red light comes on, it does not mean that the guest is lying, right."
The host smiled awkwardly and said nothing.
At this moment, the live broadcast room was clearly projected onto the living room TV.
So all the guests present could clearly see the barrage of comments floating above -
[What does Ms. Yao mean by this? I don't quite understand it]
[With Ms. Yao's personality, she will definitely not hold back when she asks questions. If Xu Ji and Xu Yiyuan are not sincere, they will have to blame the instrument if they want to whitewash themselves later] [
Too cruel, too cruel, Ms. Yao's words are to cut off Xu Ji and Xu Yiyuan's retreat first]
[The program crew is the one who knows how to play. Isn't it just for traffic? I will immediately promote it in various groups and let everyone come over to watch the excitement]
Yao Rong curled her lips slightly and responded to the barrage of comments: "Don't scare Xu Ji and the others anymore. Look, they are so scared that they are shaking."
The photographer cut all the shots to Xu Ji and Xu Yiyuan at the right time.
Xu Ji forced a smile, his hands hanging on his knees trembling.
"If everyone has no objection, then let's get started." Seeing that no one spoke, the host smiled and asked someone to bring up the polygraphs.
The eight polygraphs were very delicately designed. After they were properly placed, the host asked several guests to put them on.
Yao Rong was the first to put them on.
Xu Weiheng also put them on quickly.
Xu Ji and Xu Yiyuan looked at each other and saw that the other six had put them on, so they could only follow suit, but their faces were a little pale.
"Since everyone is ready, let's get started." The host coughed softly and looked at the TV that had finished projecting.
"Audience friends, please ask whatever you want to ask. Our program team will draw questions in the backstage."
Almost at the moment when the host finished speaking, the entire screen was completely flooded with dense bullet screens, and the number of viewers in the live broadcast room quickly exceeded 9 million from more than 8 million, and the 10 million mark was within reach.
The drawn questions were quickly printed on the hand cards and handed to the host.
The host unfolded the hand cards and said with a smile: "For this first question, everyone guess who will be the winner."
"He is Wen Qiu——"
The host dragged the conversation for three seconds before changing the subject.
"Xu Weiheng next to me."
Xu Weiheng looked calm and looked at the host.
The host smiled and read out the question: "Excuse me, Xu Weiheng, what do you think of the Xu family?"
The bullet screen chatted heatedly again.
[As expected of an outstanding netizen of the session, he knows how to ask questions, and his questions are so professional]
[Oh my God! Are they making such a big deal right from the start! ]
Xu Weiheng smiled and said bluntly: "I don't like them. Or you could say, I hate them."
"I think there are many viewers who feel the same way as me."
The polygraph machine instantly turned on the green light, Xu Weiheng glanced at it and said: "Next question."
The host was stunned for a moment before responding: "Okay, then please continue drawing questions from the backstage."
[This is too frank, isn't Xu Weiheng afraid of being scolded?]
[This is not the age where fathers are the guiding principles for their children. The father has done such a disgusting thing, shouldn't the child hate him? 】
【Anyway, I'm a fan of Xu Weiheng】
【Fan +1】
After a while, the host got three more questions, all of which were asked about Shi Qingqing and Wen Qiu.
There is not much negative information about these two people in the circle, and after the initial surprise, they were able to respond with ease.
Shi Qingqing even revealed a little tidbit in her reply, saying that her wedding date with her boyfriend outside the circle is approaching, and she will continue to be busy with her career after the wedding, and hopes that fans can bless her. As
soon as this revelation came out, the number of viewers of "Dear Family" instantly approached the 10 million mark.
The fifth question read out by the host completed this last push and successfully sent the number of viewers to the 10 million mark.
You know, the number of viewers of the program group is real data without any dilution.
In other words, there are indeed 10 million devices watching the live broadcast now.
Excluding some netizens who were watching with two devices at the same time, this data is already very impressive.
"Excuse me, Xu Yiyuan, have you ever excluded Xu Weiheng during the time you have been together for such a long time?"
Xu Yiyuan was so nervous that his palms were sweating.
"No."
The polygraph turned red in an instant, and Xu Yiyuan almost jumped up from the sofa.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the polygraph connected to Xu Yiyuan, and their expressions were unpredictable.
The host couldn't help but wipe his forehead with his hand.
He was a little worried that if the netizens continued to ask, Xu Yiyuan would be officially listed as a bad artist.
However, the program team dared to let the host read out this question, which clearly showed that they were not afraid of trouble.
After all, this question only asked about "exclusion" instead of directly pointing out that Xu Yiyuan was bullying Xu Weiheng.
"According to the rules, the opportunity to ask questions now goes to the other seven guests."
As soon as the host finished speaking, a staff member brought a cardboard box.
The cardboard box contained ping-pong balls with the names of the eight guests written on them. Whoever was drawn would ask the questions.
If Xu Yiyuan himself was drawn, a new draw would be held.
"You can draw it yourself, Xu Yiyuan." said the host.
In the air-conditioned room, beads of sweat dripped from Xu Yiyuan's forehead. He reached into the cardboard box and hesitated for a moment before taking out the ping-pong ball.
The note attached to the ping-pong ball had the three characters "Shi Qingqing" written on it.
Although the person drawn was not Yao Rong and Xu Weiheng, Xu Yiyuan's expression was still very tense.
He answered Shi Qingqing's questions with a wooden face.
[The questions asked by Shi Qingqing were too unskillful. It's a pity. It would have been better if Yao Rong and Xu Weiheng had been drawn]
[Xu Yiyuan looked like he had given up the struggle]
[At this point, Xu Yiyuan can no longer clear himself. I feel a little sorry for Xu Weiheng]
Soon, a new question was drawn.
This question shifted the psychological pressure from Xu Yiyuan to Xu Ji.
"Xu Ji, when you said in front of the media that Xu Weiheng had beaten Xu Yiyuan, did you want to sacrifice Xu Weiheng to help Xu Yiyuan?"
"Xu Ji?"
Seeing that Xu Ji remained silent for a long time, the host had to call him again and repeated the question again.
"...No."
The crazy flashing red light made Xu Ji's heart sink a little bit, sinking more and more, and finally sinking to the bottom.
[I vomited. Although I had already guessed that the facts were so unbearable, I still found it hard to imagine. Are they biological father and son? It's not an exaggeration to say that they are enemies.]
[It's because they are father and son that they are even more terrifying. It is normal for parents to be partial to one another, after all, people are all crooked, but Xu Ji's partiality is no longer ordinary.
The host said with a wry smile: "Then please ask Xu Ji to draw a ping-pong ball."
Xu Ji collapsed on the sofa, and with a numb expression, he drew the ping-pong ball.
——Xu Weiheng.
The person who questioned Xu Ji this time was Xu Weiheng.
After the host announced the rules of the event, Xu Weiheng had been sitting quietly in the corner of the sofa, until now when he heard the host calling his name, he slowly raised his head.
The bright incandescent light fell into his eyes, and his gaze towards Xu Ji seemed to be burning with flames.
"I only ask you one question, do you know what I am allergic to?"
Xu Ji was stunned, his lips opened and closed several times, and he smiled: "I don't know."
The polygraph lit up green.
Xu Weiheng nodded: "It's expected."
He asked the host: "Can you delay for a moment and let me say a few more words?"
Seeing the host nodded, Xu Weiheng continued: "Since I was four years old, I have been observing your preferences. I even know what temperature of water you like to drink the most. But it took me many years to understand one truth: no matter what you do, people who don't like you will never like you."
"I know that after I said that I hate the Xu family, some people may scold me. But why should I like people who don't like me?"
"If the father is not kind, how can the son be filial."
The host sighed a little, and when Xu Weiheng finished speaking, he quickly started to draw the next question.
When he saw the question, the host was stunned.
He looked back at the backstage and saw the assistant director making gestures to him.
The host coughed lightly and read out the question on the paper.
"Director Chen of 2050Ⅱ once publicly accused Xu Weiheng of not cooperating with the crew's publicity at a press conference; acting like a big shot on the set, slowing down the crew's filming progress; breaking the reporter's camera..."
"Excuse me, Xu Weiheng, is what Director Chen said true? If it's not true, why did you go live to apologize the day after the press conference?"
Xu Weiheng pursed his lips.
After looking at Yao Rong, Xu Weiheng made up his mind.
"Before "2050Ⅱ" was released, I went to every promotional roadshow the crew notified me to participate in. It was fake that I acted like a big shot on the set; it was also fake that I slowed down the crew's filming progress; breaking the reporter's camera was an accident. I apologized to the reporter, and the program team also compensated the reporter, which was later deducted from my salary."
"I was forced to do a live broadcast to apologize by my former agency."
"You must be wondering, since I didn't do anything wrong, why should I stand in front of the camera and apologize over and over again?"
Xu Weiheng tried hard to lift the corners of his lips, but in the blink of an eye, tears silently slipped down.
"Everyone knows that Director Chen is my mentor. If there were no Director Chen and "2050", I might not have entered the entertainment industry at all."
"And Xu Ji is my biological father."
"Also, everyone knows that Youbai, the idol who debuted through a talent show, is my best friend in the industry."
"When my mentor, father, and good friend all stood up and publicly accused me, and even the agency was about to abandon me for popularity, what else could I do but apologize?"
Xu Weiheng subconsciously held Yao Rong's hand tightly.
At that time, Ms. Yao had not come to his side yet.
He didn't want to apologize, but he had no choice.
The polygraph light was green.
From beginning to end, the polygraph light was green.
Xu Weiheng's voice was low and weak, but this silent light was the most powerful testimony.
