Looking at the projector full of question marks, Su Chengyang quickly covered her eyes with her hands.

“Change, change the channel! Quickly change the channel!” Su Chengyang said incoherently.

Xiao Lu is someone who enjoys watching drama unfold, and she picked up a piece of fruit with a toothpick and brought it to her mouth. Seeing Su Chengyang’s angry and embarrassed look, she giggled and teased, “What’s wrong? I think it’s pretty interesting. It’s much better than regular variety shows.”

“The post-production is too much! How could they do this? My image in the audience’s mind is completely ruined.” Su Chengyang complained.

Xiao Lu suppressed her laughter and comforted her, “Well, your image wasn’t going to last long anyway.”

Su Chengyang glared at her with a red face.

Actually, Su Chengyang didn’t disregard other people’s opinions because she had no shame!

Even though she knew that some of her behavior during the recording process might be a little embarrassing, she still held onto a glimmer of hope. For example, when she met with other guests, Su Chengyang’s image was very dignified. If her dignified image had been deeply ingrained in the minds of the audience, they would have thought it was just a show effect. But now, the moment she appeared, it was all exposed, completely ruining Su Chengyang’s mature and steady image.

Seeing Su Chengyang looking down and disheartened, Xiao Lu consoled her with a clear conscience, “It’s okay, it’s all just a problem with the post-editing.”

“Can I borrow your phone?” Su Chengyang reached out a hand towards Xiao Lu.

“Why?” Xiao Lu asked as she handed her phone over.

Su Chengyang opened the Cat&Dog Video app, entered the first episode of <Travel>, and dragged the progress bar to where she was watching, then sent three barrage comments in a row:

【It’s clearly just a program effect.】

【Of course, it’s just a program effect.】

【Su Chengyang is going crazy with her desire for fame.】

Xiao Lu watched the whole process silently and silently gave Su Chengyang a thumbs up, exclaiming, “Su Chengyang, I have never seen an artist who loves to criticize themselves like you do.”

Just as Su Chengyang sent out the barrage comments, a few refuting comments appeared on the screen:

【What’s wrong with you? You keep talking about program effects. Do you know why she’s like this?】

【There are so many sjbs1 is a chinese slang, refer to 神经病 (shénjīngbìng). The meaning is “Psycho” but it usually refers to someone who said something crazy or offensive, rather then real mental illness. these days. They haven’t even released anything yet, and they’re just blabbering here.】

【Borrowing your auspicious words, the beautiful sister will definitely become famous.】

I don’t want to be famous! I want to stay at home and lie down!

Su Chengyang was about to retort angrily, but Xiao Lu quickly grabbed her hand and said, “Are you really planning to argue with your own fans? You have to have a bit of self-awareness. After what happened these past two days, most of the people online are on your side. Your popularity with passerby is great. If you keep discrediting yourself here, aren’t you just asking for trouble?”

Su Chengyang turned her head and grabbed her own phone, calling Lin Yu.

As soon as the phone was answered, before Lin Yu could say anything, Su Chengyang said, “Manager Lin, I’m reporting that the program team of <Travel> is attempting to discredit my image!”

Lin Yu didn’t expect her to suddenly say such a thing and was stunned for a moment. He reminded her, “The director is sitting next to me.”

Su Chengyang: “…”

“Even worse, I accidentally turned on the loudspeaker.”

Su Chengyang: “…”

Su Chengyang’s face suddenly changed, “Director, Director, I was just joking. Please don’t take it seriously. Actually, I wanted to report to Manager Lin that the program was edited very well…”

She was trying to make up for herself, but there was suddenly a muffled laugh on the other end of the phone, followed by, “I fooled you.”

“Director…” Su Chengyang’s voice suddenly weakened.

Lin Yu said, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up first.”

Su Chengyang made a vague “oh” sound.

After hanging up the phone smoothly, Su Chengyang turned his head to look at Xiao Lu beside him, who had a teasing smile on his face.

“Manager Lin, he…”

Xiao Lu blinked, “I heard it.”

“He actually…”

“I told you a long time ago, cousin brother doesn’t look as good as he seems.”

“He actually…”

“Okay, okay, it’s time for the next guest to appear.”

Xiao Lu took the phone from her palm and put it aside, leading her to continue watching the show.

The second guest to appear was Song Mingan. He had played two memorable scholar roles before, and as soon as he appeared, the screen was filled with his character names in the barrage. However, compared to Su Chengyang’s appearance, there were still fewer comments.

When Song Mingan got off the car, the scene continued to jump.

The time on the screen scrolled to the next day when they were in the car heading to Wangjing Village.

Song Mingan sat in the passenger seat and turned around to look at the two people in the back seat with a complaining expression, saying, “Chengyang, you can’t team up with her to deal with me. Our friendship is deeper than hers.”

Then Han Songxue, with a puzzled expression on her face, asked, “Do you know each other before?”

Su Chengyang replied, “I have known him for about ten minutes longer than you.”

Su Chengyang: “…”

Barrage:

【? ? ?】

【My little scholar?】

【How could the little scholar turn out like this?】

【How did Su Chengyang manage to talk nonsense with a straight face?】

Although embarrassed, Su Chengyang felt a sense of balance in her heart, knowing that she was not the only one losing face. She was also looking forward to the upcoming appearances of everyone else.

At this moment, she remembered something and picked up her phone.

When she had talked to Lin Yu on the phone earlier, she had seen Han Songxue and a few other people in the WeChat group laughing at her, but she didn’t have the courage to click into it at the time.

But now…

Su Chengyang clicked into the group chat, scrolled up, and saw several familiar people participating in mocking her, with Han Songxue laughing the loudest.

Su Chengyang @Song Mingan, sent a series of “hahaha”, and then exited the group.

After Song Mingan was Tan Qi, whose introduction was relatively normal, although the screen also jumped to later scenes, it did not affect her image.

The fourth guest to appear was Han Songxue.

She gave off a lively and cheerful vibe as soon as she appeared, and as expected, after introducing her name, the screen went black and jumped to the hotel dining table.

She pulled Su Chengyang aside with a mysterious look and said, “When I went to the restroom just now, I passed by the room of the scruffy producer with a big beard. He was…”

Su Chengyang interrupted her seriously, “Songxue, have you ever thought about something?”

“Ah? What?”

“You may not be able to get a role not because you were in a girl group or because you are not good at acting or not pretty enough.”

“Then why?”

“Because you have a sharp tongue and will offend a lot of people.”

Han Songxue suddenly realized, You’re right! No wonder I was so heavily criticized in an interview I participated in some time ago.”

Barrage:

【Stupid Beauty.】

【Hahaha, her look of realization seems like she really doesn’t think she says things that offend people.】

【I’ve seen her previous interviews, she’s really straightforward.】

【This is what you call a magnet for criticism.】

Satisfied with Han Songxue’s appearance, Su Chengyang enters the WeChat group chat, @Han Songxue, and says “Stupid beauty hahaha.”

Han Songxue: “…”

“The program team is up to something.”

As the nine guests appeared one after another, the later editing team tore apart the first impression left by them for the audience in the first possible moment. The trending topics of the travel show’s premiere successfully entered the top ten, and even showed a tendency to hit the top three.

When the nine guests gathered around the dining table, chatting awkwardly, one minute later, the hotel staff began serving dishes. Suddenly, a close-up shot was directed at Su Chengyang’s calm face on the projector.

Su Chengyang realized what was going to happen next.

【Sigh…the beautiful sister doesn’t have enough screen time, let’s give her some love~】

【Su Chengyang looked at me! She likes me!】

【The sister has captured my heart with just one look~】

In the next moment, Su Chengyang, who had appeared nonchalant, suddenly lifted her chin and looked at the service staff who were walking in one by one with shining eyes. The camera followed her every move, even giving a close-up shot of the food on her plate.

【Haha…】

【Is the sister hungry? Her eyes are about to grow hooks.】

【She looks like my little puppy at home. Whenever I feed her, she sits on the ground waiting for me obediently, her eyes shining.】

After a while, the service staff brought all the guests’ food to the table, and again, Su Chengyang was given a close-up shot. Something happened, and her eyes turned red in an instant.

【Oh…I know this, she’s going to start acting pitiful.】

【I guess it’s about Yang Xiuyi’s matter? At that time, there was no matter concerning Miss Shang.】

【Can’t you change your strategy? Starting off with pity isn’t original at all.】

It was clear that the guests and the online community had similar thoughts, and the camera deliberately showed a few guests with complicated expressions, including Tan Qi.

Tan Qi was the most experienced among the guests and didn’t want the atmosphere to cool down, so she used some scripted words to comfort Su Chengyang.

“Chengyang, if you have any difficulties, just speak up. If there’s anything that Sister can help with, Sister will do her best.”

【Su Chengyang: I’ve been waiting for those words from you.】

【Selling pity to attract fans has been taken advantage of by the entertainment industry.】

【Yang Xiuyi is currently facing legal troubles, so it’s really unnecessary to ride the wave of this incident.】

【I’ll help the marketing team come up with a good headline, let’s call it #Su Chengyang Talks Publicly for the First Time about the Incident with Yang Xiuyi#.】

The barrage was filled with comments both criticizing and defending Su Chengyang, causing a heated debate.

On camera, Su Chengyang lifted her head with a moved expression, and tears swirled in her eyes.

【Being pitiful is really annoying.】

【I watch variety shows to gain happiness, not to watch you being pitiful.】

【I thought you were interesting, but now my impression of you has been completely ruined.】

【Although it’s been so long since the Yang Xiuyi incident, there’s really no need to bring up that man again, it’s irritating.】

The next moment, the sound of Su Chengyang choking up came through, “Sister…can I have a bite of the meat in your plate?”

Without hesitation, Tan Qi nodded, “Of course…huh?”

Suddenly, she froze. All the guests in the room froze, and the dining table instantly fell silent. The barrage of comments, which had been so noisy, also stopped abruptly.

A few seconds later, the barrage started rolling crazily:

【? ? ?】

【Did I hear it wrong?】

【What?】

【Could you say it again?】

【No…it’s just that your pitiful act seems a bit off track…】

Su Chengyang looked at the barrage of question marks on the screen, her heart as calm as the dead sea.

Maybe she had already embarrassed herself beforehand, she was fearless now.

In the video, Su Chengyang completely broke down: “I haven’t eaten a piece of meat in half a month…my manager won’t let me…”

Barrage:

“…”

Guest: “…”

Su Chengyang off-camera: “…”

She was so hungry at that moment that she shouldn’t have been thinking about food even if she jumped off from here.

【Hahahahahahahaha】

【The sight makes the child drool2It is often used to describe food or other things that are so visually appealing that they make someone else feel very hungry or envious, especially a child..】

【I never thought that my invincible sister with amazing aura would break down because of a mouthful of food.】

【Su Chengyang did lose some weight compared to when she appeared on the talk show.】

【The manager deserves to be beaten! How could he starve my family’s pet!】

【Hahahaha, Su Chengyang’s plate only has vegetables, fruits, and chicken breasts.】

【I tried eating chicken breasts for weight loss, but eating too much made me want to throw up.】

【Get out, Starlight Entertainment! Hurry up and give Su Chengyang some meat!】

【#GiveSuChengyangMeatNow#!!】

【Su Chengyang is acting pitiful! She’s really acting pitiful!】

【The teenage girl shed tears on the spot because she hasn’t had meat in half a month. Feel free to use it as marketing material, no need to thank me.】

Looking at the colorful barrage, Su Chengyang fell into silence.

Xiao Lu laughed heartily beside her.

Her phone kept buzzing, probably from a WeChat group message.

Su Chengyang didn’t even need to look to know what the content of the group chat was. She could almost imagine Han Songxue’s sneering laugh in her head.

Su Chengyang was contemplating whether her brain had been kicked by a donkey at the time.
