Chapter 158: The Broadcast of a New Variety Show

Translator: Zayn_

Half an hour later.

Shu Ling was led into the set by Chen Lan.

Of course, Song Qingyou wouldn’t hold her interview in public, so they met in the dressing room.

Shu Ling didn’t expect Lin Siya to be there. After her surprise, she greeted her coldly.

“So Shu Ling is the newbie you mentioned?” Lin Siya was a little surprised.

“Sister Lin knows her?”

“I’ve worked with Shu Ling before.”

Song Qingyou gave Shu Ling the script for “The Empress” and pointed out two scenes for her to memorize the lines and try out on the spot.

“Doesn’t Shu Ling have a company?” Lin Siya couldn’t help but ask. “Did she jump ship to you?”

Song Qingyou nodded.

“I haven’t heard any news about her in the past few years. I guess she’s been sitting on the bench over there. It’s not bad for her to jump ship to you.”

Lin Siya was implying that Shu Ling had made the right decision.

Song Qingyou didn’t say anything. She was very happy to be praised.

Lin Siya glanced at her and asked casually, “I’ll also jump ship to your company. What do you think?”

“Of course I welcome you.”

“Aren’t you afraid of offending Jinling Media?”

Song Qingyou smiled. “If I become afraid, Shengshi will always be a small company.”

She could tell that Lin Siya wasn’t joking.

Hence, she asked with a serious expression, “Sister Lin doesn’t have to jump ship. You can open your own studio.”

“If I were to open a studio, it would be under the name of Jinling Media. Besides, I just want to act well and don’t care about anything else.”

“I won’t help Sister Lin pay the penalty.” Song Qingyou smiled.

This meant that as long as Lin Siya dealt with the breach of contract, she would agree to her jumping ship.

“Also, if there are any acquaintances who have good acting skills or singing skills but are sitting on the bench, I don’t mind Sister Lin bringing them along.”

Lin Siya was stunned and said with mixed feelings of admiration, “You’re really not afraid of offending people!”

“It’s just a normal business poaching. If Jinling Media is unhappy, they can come and poach me.”

These words sounded dignified, but who didn’t know that Shengshi’s artistes could be counted on one hand?

While Lin Siya was speechless, she also understood that Song Qingyou was different from the higher-ups in Jinling, and even more different from those who relied on capital.

She thought for a moment and reached out her hand. “I’ll deal with the termination of the contract as soon as possible. 1 hope we can work together happily.”

Song Qingyou held it back.

Shu Ling came over after memorizing her lines and heard Lin Siya’s last sentence.

She was extremely shocked. The second-ranked artist was actually going to join Shengshi Entertainment.

She couldn’t help but be secretly happy that she had made the decision to jump ship early.

Because of this, she worked even harder when Song Qingyou tested her acting skills.

Shu Ling didn’t like to talk, nor did she flaunt how hard she worked.

However, she had never slacked off in the past few years.

Song Qingyou looked at the villain she was playing and took out Zhu Jiao’s representative work to compare.

The final conclusion was that Shu Ling was more outstanding than Zhu Jiao.

She snapped her fingers. “I’ll bring you to audition tomorrow.”

Shu Ling’s eyes flashed with surprise, and her face, which had almost no expression other than acting, revealed a rare smile. “I won’t let CEO Song down!”

When Lin Siya saw Song Qingyou comparing Shu Ling and Zhu Jiao, she knew what she was up to, but she didn’t say anything.

She wasn’t like Shu Ling, who had been neglected all year round and didn’t have much popularity, so once her contract expired, she could easily terminate it…

That night.

The first episode of the All-Class Challenge was broadcast.

When Wei Zhengrong was planning this show, he had approached many TV stations and video platforms to discuss cooperation.

Even though it was rejected at the beginning, the show was finally finalized and broadcasted exclusively on Pineapple Video.

As a new video platform, Pineapple Video’s number of users and traffic could not compare to a few larger platforms. It was precisely the time when they needed exclusive films and variety shows. Therefore, they did not mind that this show might fail.

After the trailer for “All-Class Challenge” was released, the platform recognized Song Qingyou’s popularity and creativity and gave her enough recommendation spots.

At 7:30 p. m., the show started on time.

Many fans and passersby who were attracted by the “heroic act” were already waiting in front of their phones and computers.

Song Qingyou sat down with Zhizhi in her arms.

At the beginning of the show, Jiang Xuyan’s signature cold joke attracted many people’s ridicule.

Then, they quickly got to the main topic.

When they found out that Song Qingyou was too good, they decided to arrange a rock-paper-scissors match to determine the winner. In the end, Song Qingyou also had some skills in rock-paper-scissors, and coupled with the director’s shocked face, everyone found it funny.

After the guests drew lots and ranked, there was another round of scheming.

Originally, after hearing the few of them talk about their classes, the audience felt that it was very boring.

Because those professions sounded simple.

Until Jiang Xuyan said, “How is this security? He’s clearly a cleaner!” Only then did everyone realize that the guests were actually lying to each other!

Especially Tang Zinian’s last sentence, “I’d rather carry bricks than take care of a child.”

He didn’t expect that he would really have to move bricks in the end…

The dramatic effect caused the bullet screen to be filled with laughter.

[ In the end, Yingnan and Tang Zinian were the most honest.]

[ Husky in the pack of wolves hahahaha]

[ The others lied to each other, but in the end, everyone’s work wasn’t any better. The final winner is still the production team.]

[ Sister Qingyou is really going to take care of children. Sister Qingyou won’t suppress them by force, right?]

[ Tang Zinian will definitely know not to spout nonsense in the future.]

[ What the f * ck, delivering food is like a little electric scooter driver. I’m laughing my head off.]

Next, it was time for the guests to experience their respective classes.

The seven of them had different experiences, and the program team had edited the most noteworthy parts of the three days, so the entire episode was “high-energy” all the way through.

The guests were often defeated at the beginning and made a joke of themselves.

Towards the end, almost every profession made one experience the ups and downs of life.

For example, Jiang Xuyan said that he had never been so down and out before, and that this kind of “down and out” might be the life of most people.

Another example was when Yu Muhuai was told that the customer was in a bad mood and didn’t want to give good reviews.

Another example was the people Tang Zinian met at the construction site. Some of them had sick family members and worked hard to earn money to treat their illnesses, while others worked hard to earn money for their children’s tuition fees.

Even though these passers-by were just chatting.

The scene changed, and a deep voice came from the screen.

” We’re all here, living hard

In the ups and downs, I’ve been awake and drunk

1 was once stubborn and fragile, still persistent¹

Accompanied by the background music, these “trivial matters” were no longer so light and seemed a little heavier.

The lives of ordinary people were often more empathetic.

Those prone to emotional outbursts expressed that they were crying their eyes out.

Fortunately, the production team did not deliberately make the audience cry. The hard work and fatigue were only a small part of it. Most of it was the hard work of the guests for the work at hand..
