Chapter 50:
Ji Qingzhou sat down, picked up the paper, and at the host's command, he folded it quickly with both hands.
The host held the script and asked him, "Live as a hero, die as a ghost hero. Who is this poem about?"
"Xiang Yu."
"Drinking and singing all day long, for whom do you act arrogantly? Who wrote this poem?"
"Du Fu."
"What is the dividing line between the Eastern and Western Hemispheres?"
"0 degrees west longitude, 160 degrees east longitude."
…
When the time was up, the production team called a halt. Ji Qingzhou breathed a sigh of relief, leaned back in his chair, and waited for the production team to count the stars he had folded.
Meng Yuanbai was shocked. He looked at Lian Jingxing and felt tired. "Why did your junior come to our variety show? He should have gone to the Quiz Show next door. Forty-five questions! He skipped three! He got three wrong! With this winning rate, if the host hadn't wasted time reading the questions, I think he could have answered more."
This is true. The biggest characteristic of Ji Qingzhou's answering is speed. He answers questions almost instinctively and gives the answers directly without thinking, so much so that in the end the host was worried that there were not enough questions and even advised him not to be anxious and think for a while.
However, it is impossible to think too much. Ji Qingzhou has kept in mind the key of answering questions quickly since he started school and received competition training. When he was in school, he was both good in character and academic performance and was the teacher's favorite student. He was indispensable in every competition in the school, city, province, and country. Over time, he got used to answering questions quickly, whether it was oral or written.
Soon, Ji Qingzhou's score came out. Meng Yuanbai looked at the score and thought that this might be the mark of the game in the future.
He looked at Lian Jingxing and asked, "Are you really not under any pressure? I see your junior brother is coming with great force."
Lian Jingxing turned to look at him, "Why do you let me say everything? Before I answered the questions, I suspected that he couldn't beat Luo Yuxin, but after I finished answering the questions, I felt that he was more powerful." He shook his head, "Fortunately, he is my junior brother, not yours, otherwise it would be very miserable."
Meng Yuanbai refuted him unwillingly, feeling that this newcomer was a bit too aggressive.
Ji Qingzhou was very satisfied with his score and asked with a smile if the program team could give him these stars.
Luo Yuxin looked at the smile on his face and wanted to tear off his hypocritical smile. He didn't understand why it turned out like this. Everything was clearly under his control at the beginning, so why did it end up being a favor to Ji Qingzhou?
"Luo Yuxin's face doesn't look good." Meng Yuanbai sighed, "Your junior brother doesn't know how to restrain himself. He answered the questions so fiercely. Isn't this an embarrassment to Luo Yuxin?"
"Luo Yuxin chose the game himself and answered the questions himself. Why should others be restrained for him? Does the entertainment industry need restraint? The last thing the entertainment industry needs is restraint. If he restrains, how can he attract fans? How can he be popular?"
"You're quite protective of him." Meng Yuanbai said.
Lian Jingxing glanced at Ji Qingzhou and said nothing. Lian Jingxing himself did not feel much about the sudden appearance of such a junior brother. Zhou Chengfeng was a pretty good agent, and Xiyu would definitely not let him take care of him alone. He could understand, so it didn't matter.
It was just that when Zhou Chengfeng came to see him sometimes, he would unconsciously mention Ji Qingzhou. After listening to his description, Lian Jingxing formed some preliminary impressions of Ji Qingzhou: he was good-looking, had good acting skills, had a good temper, knew when to advance and retreat, was tolerant, and was well-behaved.
Ji Qingzhou's personality during his rookie period was completely different from his own. This kind of personality was liked by all agents, unlike when he was young, who was always a worry to others.
Zhou Chengfeng had been very kind to him, so when Zhou Chengfeng asked him to help Ji Qingzhou, he did not refuse. However, he did not expect that Ji Qingzhou would have a relationship with Chu Cheng and be friends with Yu Anyi.
Everyone has selfish desires, including Lian Jingxing, and his selfish desire is Yu Anyi. He has never told anyone about his feelings for Yu Anyi, but this does not prevent him from being kind to the people around Yu Anyi. If Ji Qingzhou was just his junior, he would help him, but would not take the initiative to give him advice, nor would he talk to Cai Li. But he is Yu Anyi's friend, a member of the most central circle of her social network headed by Chu Cheng, so even for his own sake, Lian Jingxing would treat him better.
He looked in the direction of Yu Anyi calmly, and saw Yu Anyi talking to Ji Qingzhou with a bright smile on his face. He watched quietly for a while, then silently retracted his gaze and continued to watch the competition in the field.
Ji Qingzhou's segment was over, but Yu Anyi's segment had not yet begun. The two of them asked the director for instructions, turned off the microphone, and asked the production team for a box to organize the stars that Ji Qingzhou had folded.
"Why are you installing these?" Yu Anyi asked puzzled.
Ji Qingzhou looked up and asked her, "Do you give gifts for Christmas?"
Yu Anyi shook her head, "No, I will give gifts when I grow up, but I won't when I grow up. It's so troublesome to give gifts back and forth. I'm fine because I'm a girl, and my brother must have gifts for girls' birthdays, so I still have gifts every year. As for Ah Cheng and my brother, they are so lazy now that they don't even give each other gifts on birthdays. We just get together to play and have fun."
Ji Qingzhou nodded.
Yu Anyi asked him, "Do you want to give Ah Cheng a gift?"
"yes."
"I folded these stars for you." Yu Anyi looked at him, "Have you read too many girls' comics? You look so girly."
Ji Qingzhou looked at the stars in the box. "I wanted to give these stars, but not because I've read too many girls' comics, but because this is my first time on a variety show. When I was filming, Chu Cheng accompanied me for a while and experienced many things in the crew. So he was absent this time, and I wanted to make up for him."
