RNP Chapter 75 Reboot Debut
Chapter 75 Reboot Debut
chapter 75
Meng Youcheng suddenly realized the truth.
I have never truly understood Jiang Yuming.
His initial arrogance, stubbornness, and reluctance to interact with me, as well as the strangeness I felt when I was around him, were not the real him...
It wasn't a pretense; rather, because they didn't know each other and Jiang Yuming rarely interacted with others, Meng Youcheng's impression of him was skewed...
Perhaps this is the real him.
Her previous arrogance and stubbornness were simply because she wasn't familiar with herself...
Now that they're familiar with each other, they become increasingly unrestrained.
The man stared into his eyes, speechless for a long time.
Jiang Yuming was about to speak when...
"Jiang Yuming! Get ready...it's almost your turn!"
"good!"
The boy turned his head and replied, then looked at the man, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Uncle, wait for me backstage. We'll go home after the show is over."
"good……"
……
"Welcome everyone to 'Guess Your Happiness,' I'm your host, Xiao He..."
"Our guests today are the main actors from the hit drama 'Su Wei.' Let's welcome them with a warm round of applause..."
There were many people at the scene, and many cameras were filming the stage...
As soon as the host finished speaking, music started playing, and several guests came up on stage one after another, introducing themselves and the roles they played in the hit drama...
Everything was normal, with constant cheers and applause from the audience. It seemed that the program would generate a lot of discussion, which was a good thing for Jiang Yuming.
All the guests came on stage, and the host went up. "Okay... In addition, we have invited a special guest, Jiang Yuming... Please welcome him with applause."
Upon hearing this, Meng Youcheng, who was sitting backstage, couldn't help but stand up; his heart was in his throat...
Jiang Yuming walked onto the stage with a smile, holding a microphone, and said, "Hello everyone! I am Jiang Yuming..."
The man breathed a sigh of relief; everything seemed normal.
The host greeted the guests briefly, gave a general overview of the popular drama, and outlined the questions specifically designed for them…
Jiang Yuming stood silently to the side...
The boy wasn't very camera-savvy; after all, it was his first time on a TV show, so his expression was a bit blank and he just sat there quietly to the side...
She occasionally flashes a smile.
It's alright, it's nothing serious.
The host looked at Jiang Yuming, "Yuming, is this your first time on our show?"
"Yes, that's right..."
The boy belatedly looked at him, "This is my first time here, and there are many things I don't understand..."
"I just saw Yuming backstage, and you seemed really nervous..."
Another host nearby asked, "Is it because of some minor disputes that happened here before? Are you afraid of encountering a similar situation?"
"I……?"
The boy was speechless for a moment...
This line did not appear in the script!
Meng Youcheng, who was backstage, suddenly became nervous. At first glance, there seemed to be nothing wrong with this sentence, but no matter how he replied, there was a trap in it!
Why was the word "fear" used when everyone praised the boy for his bravery in that incident?
If this is true, then it will create a disconnect with what was said on Weibo. Jiang Yuming's rise to fame because of this persona will create a huge contrast, and she will be attacked by some nitpicking netizens...
If he says no, netizens will misinterpret it as impoliteness. Some people might even think that his failure to give the host a way out proves that his previous assault wasn't out of any sense of justice, but simply out of recklessness.
Jiang Yuming was just about to speak...
The host, He, interrupted him, "Actually, I think Yu Ming is really brave. Everyone knows that this kind of situation happens to some extent in the entertainment industry. I really can't imagine that a young star who hasn't been in the industry for long would do something so righteous..."
"Haven't you thought about yourself? What if the person involved gets hold of something against you? What if this matter is kept secret forever? Don't you think about your future?"
Back to the main topic...?!
Meng Youcheng, sitting in the audience, immediately breathed a sigh of relief...
The man remembered something Xu Xingcheng had told him before: someone would definitely use this incident to their advantage, trying to climb over Jiang Yuming to get ahead...
So he placed his own people on this show, and it seems that this host surnamed He is one of his own...
Jiang Yuming thought for a moment and said according to the script, "At the time, I didn't think too much about it. I just felt that I should help, so I did..."
Meng Youcheng smiled and sat down.
……
Host He: "Alright, now it's time for our game segment. We're now divided into two teams: one team consists of the actors from the hit drama 'Su Wei,' and the other team is our hosts. Yu Ming, please join our team..."
"As is customary with our program, whichever team wins, our team will sponsor the education of children in the mountains in their name, so everyone must do their best..."
"Um……"
The others immediately chimed in...
Xiao He continued, "Our first game is a watermelon-eating contest. We have ten slices of watermelon here. Each team sends a representative, and whoever finishes eating five slices first gets priority for the next game..."
The opposing side made their choice first, and after a series of selections, they sent out the male protagonist.
When it was the hosts' turn, Xiao He said, "How about... Yu Ming, you go?"
Another host said, "This is his first time on the show! Aren't you bullying a newcomer?"
Xiao He smiled and said, "He's a guest, so of course we have to give him a chance to participate. How can that be considered bullying a newcomer?"
Jiang Yuming seemed completely oblivious to the tension. He nodded and said, "It's alright, I'll go."
Meng Youcheng watched all of this from backstage...
Of course, he knew that this silly boy hadn't grasped the host's good intentions. Only by participating in the game could he get more screen time and more people recognize him; otherwise, he would just stand there like a ghost...
Ugh……
It has to be said that Xu Xingcheng is no simple man; at least, he's not simple towards Jiang Yuming. He must have spent a considerable sum of money to bribe such a shrewd host for him...
What's strange is that he has quite a few artists under his management, and many of them are famous. Just the boy and girl groups that became famous a few days ago were enough to earn him millions...
Why is he still willing to spend time and effort on Jiang Yuming?
"Alright, ready, one, two, three, go!"
Jiang Yuming picked up the watermelon and started eating large chunks of it at an incredibly fast pace, like a car speeding by. In less than a minute, he had finished a slice of watermelon...
His mouth was overflowing with watermelon juice, and before anyone could react, he picked up another slice and began to devour it...
It was as if he hadn't eaten for over ten days, or as if he hadn't eaten watermelon in his entire life; he ate it extremely quickly and cleanly...
Compared to him, the person next to him was noticeably slower. The other person had an image to maintain and had to pay attention to their appearance, unlike him, who had no such concerns at all...
Jiang Yuming finished eating in less than five minutes...
The people behind him watched him eat and laughed so hard they almost fell over, creating a lively and entertaining atmosphere, which certainly contributed to the show's success.
At this moment, the person next to him had only eaten his third piece when he had already finished all of them...
Naturally, Jiang Yuming won.
The boy's opponent quickly waved his hands, "No, no... he's eating too fast..."
The host, Xiao He, quickly grabbed a tissue and wiped the boy's face...
Jiang Yuming didn't wipe it; his eyes were fixed on the untouched watermelon beside him. He reached out, picked up a slice, and slowly ate a few bites...
"Pfft, hahaha..."
Xiao He couldn't help but laugh. "You can't...waste food, what excellent manners! The competition is over, you can eat slowly, no need to...eat so fast..."
The boy took a tissue, wiped his mouth, and took a few more bites. "No... wasting food, everyone should do that."
The laughter continued, and the show went on.
Looking at the scene unfolding before him, Meng Youcheng was at a loss for words, finding it somewhat amusing...
He took out his phone and checked Weibo...
That's when he realized something very important...
Jiang Yuming has meme material now!
The blank expression captured by the camera earlier has been turned into an emoji, accompanied by the words, "Before there's any gossip to hear."
When he participated in the first game, his expression while holding a watermelon was turned into a meme, and his eyes were even deliberately highlighted in red, as seen in the title "After Seeing the Watermelon".
The speed at which he ate watermelon was also turned into a dynamic emoji, accompanied by the words "Crazy Watermelon Eating".
His fan base has exploded, from 50 to over 200 million, but all he does on Weibo are repeatedly post the same few memes...
The emojis were even meticulously edited...
It was changed to various different words, such as "XiXi" and "No XiXi".
However, many of the replies were, "You're really handsome..."
I haven't seen such a handsome guy in a long time.
The effect is good...
However, these emojis are indeed quite funny.
That said, this was the boy's first time on a variety show, and he did have a weakness: a lack of camera presence. Although this weakness had a positive effect, generating positive buzz...
However, if we want to improve further, this flaw definitely needs to be corrected.
"Okay, let's move on to the second game..."
