Chapter 23
Ren Rongrong was extremely happy when she learned that she could be on the show with Wen Yang. When Wen Yang was recording "Our New Life", she wanted to bring money into the show, but failed.
Now I can perform on the same stage with Wen Yang openly without spending a penny.
Ren Rongrong: She needs to pray well recently and burn more incense to all the great gods.
Wen Yang found that the crew members were overthinking it. The guests didn't need to have any influence on the costumes for the show, as they would be arranged by the program team.
Wen Yang and Ren Rongrong were probably assigned ancient costume styles because they were filming a costume drama.
The ancient costume that Wen Yang was assigned was of bright colors and had a certain temperament. After putting it on, Wen Yang looked like a delicate and bookish beauty.
Ren Rongrong is wearing a pink dress, looking very playful.
Ren Rongrong excitedly took several selfies with Wen Yang on the spot.
Because each guest arrived at the designated hotel at a different time, they did not meet each other in the evening until the next morning, which was the day of recording.
…
"Wen Yang, this is Fu Ling. I told you before about the beautiful woman filming next to me. She graduated from a dance academy..."
Ren Rongrong caught a girl in a dance dress in the hotel corridor and introduced her to Wen Yang.
The young girl named Fu Ling had sweat on her forehead and her face was rosy, as if she had just finished exercising. She was very surprised to see an acquaintance and walked towards him in two steps.
"Hi." After greeting Ren Rongrong, Fu Ling turned to Wen Yang, "Teacher Wen!"
Wen Yang quickly waved his hands, saying it was too polite, "Just call me Wen Yang."
It was obvious that Fu Ling knew Wen Yang, and Wen Yang also knew Fu Ling, the actress Ren Rongrong met while filming a new drama.
Ren Rongrong often praised Fu Ling in front of Wen Yang, saying that she danced very well.
The three of them were about the same age, with no generation gap between them. Plus, with Ren Rongrong as the middleman, they quickly became familiar with each other.
Wen Yang asked Fu Ling, "Did you get up early to practice dancing?"
She has a natural liking for people who work hard in their profession.
Fu Ling's answer made Wen Yang like her even more.
Fu Ling, "I've been practicing for two hours now. I can't stop dancing. If I stop for a day, I'll feel like it's not the same anymore..."
Wen Yang and Ren Rongrong invited Fu Ling to have breakfast together, but Fu Ling refused.
Fu Ling has a dance segment in the show today, and she hopes to be in the best condition for the performance.
Wen Yang also understood Fu Ling's thoughts.
They parted ways. Fu Ling wanted to practice for a while longer, while Wen Yang and Ren Rongrong went to the restaurant to have breakfast.
Before leaving, Fu Ling casually mentioned something that occurred to him, "Did you encounter any pranks from the production crew in the early morning?"
Is the program crew playing a prank?
Wen Yang was confused, "No." She slept until daytime.
Ren Rongrong was also very confused, just like Wen Yang.
Although Fu Ling didn't know why she encountered it while Wen Yang and the others didn't, she didn't think much about it.
Wen Yang's expression turned slightly cold as he took note of this situation.
…
Wen Yang met several guests who were attending the event together in the restaurant.
There is a training-based idol brother named Cheng Xingwen. He is very young, still a minor, with fair skin. When he greets and calls his sister, his ears automatically turn red.
There is Feng Lei, a golden supporting actor who is active in major film and television dramas.
There is also the film queen Fei Shasha.
Fei Shasha is middle-aged, but you can't tell at all. Her temperament and aura are very strong.
And several regular guests of "Moving Forward"...
Because it is a large-scale outdoor competitive program, there are many guests.
Feng Lei took the initiative to approach Wen Yang and chat with him. He said frankly that he admired Wen Yang's outspokenness and upright character.
"Thank you, Brother Feng. I really like your play."
Wen Yang spoke the truth without any politeness.
Wen Yang liked Feng Lei very much when she was still a viewer, and she didn't expect to meet him in person this time.
Feng Lei has always been a golden supporting actor and a professional in supporting roles. Some unscrupulous media also joked that he is the eternal male supporting actor.
But in fact, as far as Wen Yang knows, Feng Lei is not without the opportunity to play the male lead. After all, he is tall and muscular. Although he does not have a handsome face, his facial features are regular, his lines are strong, and his wheat-colored skin is also very distinctive.
The most important thing is that Feng Lei has acting skills.
He chooses scripts purely for the role, not for the ranking.
It truly lived up to what people in the industry have always said, "There are no small roles, only small actors."
Wen Yang specifically asked the new guest about the prank played by the early morning program team, and the answer he got was still different.
People like Cheng Xingwen and Feng Lei encountered pranks in the early morning, but actress Fei Shasha did not.
Wen Yang, "..."
Are you encountering the usual practice of praising the powerful and bullying the weak and treating them differently in the circle?
The program hadn't started recording yet, but Wen Yang's good mood from meeting the actors he respected had been greatly diminished.
After breakfast and a short rest, everyone was taken to the recording site.
…
As soon as Wen Yang arrived at the venue, he smelled a very strong stench. The smell was evaporating from the pool in the venue and was very pungent.
Wen Yang almost vomited up his undigested breakfast.
After circling the pool, Ren Rongrong pinched her nose and ran to Wen Yang, whispering, "Oh my god, are they going to start some activities on top of it soon?"
Mostly.
Wen Yang had already seen some gaming equipment above the pool, with foam mats floating on the water.
There are also a lot of unknown impurities floating along with the foam mat.
The environment of the entire pool can be described as terrible.
The recording of the program has begun, and several resident guests are responsible for the opening. Wen Yang heard them mention Fu Ling's name.
Wen Yang then diverted his attention slightly and suppressed the feeling of nausea.
You can watch professional dancers dance up close!
After meeting Fu Ling in the morning, Wen Yang was looking forward to her dance segment.
However, it was very different from the beautiful dancing woman Wen Yang had imagined.
Fu Ling was dressed in a red dance costume and was very graceful, like a flying fairy in the mural, but she did not get the opportunity to perform her dance normally.
The program staff led Fu Ling to the acupressure mat and asked her to dance on it.
Not only that, the blower was blown at full power towards Fu Ling, and the strong wind directly deformed Fu Ling's face.
Under the double pressure, Wen Yang was already in awe of Fu Ling for being able to finish the dance, not to mention demonstrating her professional level.
"Hahahaha, the acupressure mat is super painful. I screamed when I stood on it. Fu Ling actually managed his expression?"
"But Fu Ling, you failed to control your expression. The blower blew your mouth crooked. Is there anyone who can take a picture and show it to Fu Ling?"
Several regular guests laughed and made some jokes.
Wen Yang frowned. She could see that Fu Ling had never expected to encounter such a situation.
Facing the teasing, Fu Ling gave the camera a polite yet awkward smile.
Wen Yang's mind flashed back to Fu Ling's high-spirited look when she talked about dancing in the morning.
The staff member nearby didn't know if he noticed Wen Yang's anomaly, so he explained to Wen Yang, "Our show is just about comedy."
Wen Yang didn't say anything and continued reading.
…
After Fu Ling finished dancing, the other guests were also cueed to play a similar segment.
The official water sports competition begins.
Everyone was divided into several groups. Wen Yangziran and Ren Rongrong were in one group, and Fu Ling stayed with her and the other actors in the crew.
Then Fu Ling was mentioned again when they were working together to break through the barriers.
The speaker was a former host and resident male guest named Ding Zhen, who laughed the most exaggeratedly at the beginning.
Ding Zhen suggested to Fu Ling's group, "Fu Ling is a dancer and has a very flexible body. If they can't get across, let Fu Ling build a human bridge and everyone can step on it to get across."
"I really envy Fu Ling's future husband, he is so blessed..." After saying this, he was still laughing happily.
Combining his words and the obscene expression, everyone present could immediately understand what Ding Zhen meant when he said that Fu Ling's future husband would be blessed.
The polite smile on Fu Ling's face was gone, only embarrassment and helplessness remained.
This has reached the level of insulting people.
Not to mention that all the crew members who came to the show with Fu Ling this time were men.
Ren Rongrong, who was next to Wen Yang, was originally cheering everyone on excitedly, but now she also let out an uncomfortable and surprised gasp.
"Why does he talk like that?"
After Ding Zhen finished speaking, he did not receive the expected attention. After looking around, he saw Wen Yang staring at him with the most solemn expression.
Ding Zhen didn't think much about it and interacted with Wen Yang, "Wen Yang, why aren't you smiling? Is there something on your mind?"
Wen Yang whistled.
Roar!
She stood up quickly, took the microphone, stared at Ding Zhen and said, "You're making dirty jokes, the coffin is shining."
Wen Yang continued to rant at Ding Zhen, "You're a host by training, so you must be very good with words. So why don't you go clean up the filth in this stinky pool?"
Wen Yang pointed to the stinking pool of water where an unknown object was floating.
The next second, Wen Yang sneered, "Oh, your mouth stinks even more than this stinky pool."
Ding Zhen's expression changed several times after just a few words. He winked at the staff next to him, trying to get them to take Wen Yang's microphone away.
Wen Yang firmly controlled the right to speak, and she dodged after realizing Ding Zhen's intention.
Wen Yang held the microphone and continued to fire, "Your wife is so unlucky to have met a scoundrel like you who makes dirty jokes and talks nonsense."
Even if Ding Zhen didn't interact with Wen Yang, Wen Yang was ready to speak.
Wen Yang's anger value reached 20%.
Her words were powerful and influential. After the guests sighed that Wen Yang was indeed very reckless, some began to applaud.
The first to applaud were Ren Rongrong and the golden supporting actor Feng Lei.
Ren Rongrong's palms were about to break from clapping, and she had an expression of pride on her face.
Ren Rongrong screamed in her heart: Look! That glowing warrior is my good friend!
Feng Lei also spoke up, scolding Ding Zhen, "What bullshit are you talking about? Apologize to the girl right away!"
The others also started to applaud. The girls applauded the most, and many of the male guests also agreed.
The male actors in Fu Ling's crew were also embarrassed by Ding Zhen's proposal. They thought it was no big deal to ask them to step on Fu Ling's body to pass the test.
I'd rather lose than do this.
…
Ding Zhen was humiliated by Wen Yang, and his face turned red and white, but he still refused to accept it.
Ding Zhen accused Wen Yang, "Wen Yang, don't make a big deal out of it. This is a show, it's just a joke..."
Wen Yang interrupted him before he could finish his words and asked directly, "A joke is only a joke if others don't feel offended. Let me ask you, would you dare to tell a joke like this to your mother?"
I asked Ding Zhen if he dared to tell his mother the joke that his husband was blessed with a soft body.
Wen Yang hit the nail on the head and Ding Zhen shut up instantly.
He doesn't dare.
In the end, it was the other regular guests who smoothed things over. Ding Zhen quietly apologized to Fu Ling, and the matter was over.
"Play games, play games, keep going."
However, the game didn't go very smoothly.
There were many obstacle courses on the pool, including a long rotating pole that kept hitting the guests in the face, perhaps because there was something wrong with its design.
There were two people in total who went up. The first guest was shorter and more flexible, so he only hit the cheekbone.
Cheng Xingwen, the idol brother from the training system, was not so lucky. He was hit hard in the eye by the pole.
Cheng Xingwen groaned in pain on the spot. After he left the field with his eyes covered, Wen Yang saw that the entire ball of his left eye was red and there were signs of bleeding.
It looked even more terrifying on his plain face.
"Doctor, where is the doctor? Can you come and take care of it?"
The guests at the scene hurriedly shouted for medical staff to come and take a look. Generally speaking, medical staff will accompany such activities throughout the whole process.
However, more than ten minutes passed before the medical staff arrived.
Wen Yang felt that everything was ridiculous.
The long pole achieved the feat of injuring two guests while they were on the road. I seriously suspect that the director team did not conduct any safety tests at all.
It took the medical staff more than ten minutes to arrive. If there had been an attack, the person would have died.
Wen Yang: The anger value jumped to 40% and then to 60%.
…
This is not the end yet. Feng Lei feels that problems will continue to arise if this continues. He is an upright and serious person, so he has already started to speak out.
"Don't let anyone go up there. They'll get hurt if they do."
"Has our production team conducted any safety tests on this equipment? I don't think so. Shouldn't they at least be responsible for safety?"
No one in charge paid any attention to Feng Lei, and allowed Feng Lei to point out the safety issues with the props earnestly.
Cheng Xingwen was still shaking in pain while his wound was being cleaned, but the program crew kept urging him to speed up the process.
The director-looking man shouted with a megaphone, "Don't stop, we're recording. We can't waste time. The venue rental is expensive. Everyone else, keep recording."
Wen Yang: Anger value 70%.
The next second, Wen Yang saw a new female singer fall into the water while playing games. The female singer seemed to be unfamiliar with swimming and reacted strongly after falling into the water. She struggled desperately, and her head was bobbing up and down on the water surface.
But none of the staff noticed she was drowning.
Wen Yang rushed over and rescued the female singer while shouting, "Didn't anyone see? Hurry and save her!"
Wen Yang's anger value is 100%.
This is really a joke with human lives.
Such a big TV station, with such a long-established program with such high ratings, has such poor safety awareness. It is impossible that they don’t have the time or conditions to test it. They simply don’t care!
In particular, Wen Yang also heard the old guest say that the punishment for the losing group was to be sprayed with a fire extinguisher.
Spray fire extinguisher.
Wen Yang felt the blood vessels in his head bulging and his temples beating.
The powder from the fire extinguisher can cause damage to the eyes and respiratory tract, and in severe cases can even cause suffocation and death.
Wen Yang found it hard to understand what was going on in the brain of the person who planned this kind of punishment. The most important thing was that it was actually approved and would be broadcast later in the form of a variety show.
Release it for everyone to follow?
The program director finally became impatient with Feng Lei's persistence and came out to negotiate with him.
"It's okay. How can you, a grown man, be so cautious?"
The director nonchalantly teased Feng Lei, "Can you learn from Wen Yang's professionalism? She's a girl who's afraid of heights, yet she's still able to hang on wires, and you guys, a bunch of grown men, don't even dare to play a game?"
The director also mentioned Wen Yang.
He aimed to use Wen Yang's experience as an example and to praise Wen Yang at the same time.
The video of Wen Yang hanging on the wire was widely forwarded and became a hit.
Director: He holds Wen Yang very well.
The director thought he was flattering someone, but the person involved, Wen Yang—
Her mental illness is on the verge of breaking out!
Wen Yang's rage was maxed out! She was going crazy! Kill the idiot in charge!
…
Wen Yang found his target, quietly appeared beside the director, and asked expressionlessly, "Are you the director of the program?"
The director was startled and uttered a cry, but after seeing who it was, he nodded and said, "Yes, it is me."
"Wen Yang, you came at the perfect time. I was just praising Feng Lei for your fear of heights and your professionalism in wirework. Please try to persuade Feng Lei. He's too scared to do it anymore and keeps yelling for us to stop. How can we stop so easily?"
He even tried to pull Wen Yang to persuade Feng Lei.
Wen Yang sneered in her heart, is this the same as her hanging on wires?
Wen Yang also sneered. She told the program director clearly, "I'm hanging on the wire because it's necessary for filming, and there's a wire master to ensure my safety. Has the pole you built been safety tested?"
"There's no security guard at the pool, no medical staff, and the fire extinguisher is about to be sprayed at people... What kind of game are you playing? You're playing with everyone's lives!"
"Stop it immediately! Why are you still recording when there are so many problems?"
The director's face darkened. He didn't expect that even though he had given Wen Yang many green lights, Wen Yang was still standing against them.
Part of the safety issue was indeed neglected by the program team, and part of it was specially arranged by them.
Of course, the director wouldn't say it out loud. He simply withdrew his previous enthusiasm, lowered his eyelids coldly, and looked like he didn't want to pay any attention to Wen Yang and Feng Lei.
"Don't make a fuss and ruin everyone's mood. No one else said anything, not even Xingwen made such a fuss... The audience loves to watch it."
Wen Yang shouted at him loudly, "Bah!"
Director:?!
As a former audience member and still from the audience's perspective, Wen Yang doesn't believe that the audience likes to watch this. There is no aesthetic appeal and no funny points. The whole process is just gimmicks, and the gimmicks are built on the dangers and sufferings of the artists.
The director is already a veteran in the industry. He has come into contact with all kinds of artists in the workplace over the years, including those who are cunning and uncooperative...
Playing all kinds of tricks.
But this was the first time the director encountered someone like Wen Yang.
The director was shocked by Wen Yang's blunt and loud "Pah".
However, what surprised him even more was yet to come.
Wen Yang could already see that the director refused the suggestions, insisted on doing his own thing, and looked dead.
Wen Yang started to go crazy.
She burst into laughter, forcefully grabbed the director and hurried over to the water equipment, shouting with reason, "The director is in charge of the overall situation, so he should be the first to test the equipment. Otherwise, it would be unprofessional."
Wen Yang placed the director in front of the beating pole and signaled to the director.
superior!
I'll go down to the stinky pool and feel it for a while.
It's easy to talk without any pain in your waist, but when it comes to planning, do you make decisions with your butt?
Don’t argue about anything, just try it yourself!
The whole audience was silent.
The staff blinked their eyes: It was really exciting, we saw Lin Daiyu holding the director and forcing her onto the water equipment.
