Zhao Songcheng was the first who couldn't hold back his laughter, folding down a finger.
“I really don't have that.”
Li Changming was holding his water cup. Just as the rim touched his lips, he slowly folded a finger down as well.
“Neither do I.”
Su Yao's shoulders shook slightly, almost failing her facial expression management.
“I've only repaired a dormitory router. That shouldn't count, right?”
The smile on Zhang Yu's lips stiffened for half a second before he also folded one down.
Jiang Yue was the only one in this round, gaining a point back to bring his score to three.
The comments on the main screen were already scrolling rapidly.
【Hahaha, repairing computers all the way into the entertainment industry!】
【Director Li Cheng: A two-hundred-yuan repair fee in exchange for a Shen Xu. What a massive profit!】
【While others are drama school graduates, he is server-trained.】
The host glanced at the scoreboard and smiled, keeping the pace moving.
“Now, Teacher Jiang, Teacher Zhao, and Teacher Su Yao's scores are very close, while Teacher Zhang Yu and Teacher Li are temporarily trailing behind.”
The second round continued.
Zhang Yu 'unconsciously' glanced at Jiang Yue's split-screen again, his tone sounding fairly relaxed.
“I was once invited to walk the runway at an international fashion week.”
Zhao Songcheng, Li Changming, and Jiang Yue all folded a finger.
Su Yao followed suit.
“I've been to see a show, but never walked one.”
Li Changming's fingers were now all folded. According to the rules, he was eliminated early.
Zhang Yu was the sole claimant of this round, bringing his score back to three.
Li Changming waved his hand, completely unbothered.
“Alright, I'll step down first and watch you young people play.”
The host immediately caught his words to smooth things over.
“Teacher Li will move to the commentary panel first.”
It was Zhao Songcheng's turn.
“I once shot night scenes for five consecutive days in a drama, with more than three action scenes every day, without using a stunt double.”
Su Yao folded a finger.
Zhang Yu hesitated for a moment before folding one too.
Jiang Yue didn't move.
The host looked at his split-screen, clearly intrigued.
“Teacher Jiang has done this?”
Jiang Yue didn't beat around the bush and directly shared his experience: “In one drama, I had action scenes every day for a week straight without a stunt double.”
Zhao Songcheng raised an eyebrow and nodded in acknowledgment.
“That counts.”
The comments became lively again.
【Just how many achievements is he hiding on his resume?】
【Repairing servers, playing villains, doing action scenes—how does a career path even turn out like this?】
【Based on the description, it seems like an unreleased drama. It looks like Jiang Yue isn't actually that much of a salted fish?】
【Han Song: ? [doge.jpg]】
Since Zhao Songcheng wasn't the sole claimant in this round, he couldn't gain a point.
After the scoreboard refreshed, Zhao Songcheng, Zhang Yu, and Jiang Yue were all at two points, while Su Yao was at one.
It was Su Yao's turn again.
“I once shot a water sleeve scene. I practiced for four months before the official filming, and the final cut used a full minute and a half of it.”
Zhao Songcheng, Zhang Yu, and Jiang Yue all folded a finger.
Su Yao was the sole claimant of this round, going from one point back to two.
The host announced the scores: “Teacher Su Yao has two points, while Teacher Jiang, Teacher Zhao, and Teacher Zhang Yu have one point each.”
It was Jiang Yue's turn again.
He glanced at the comments and caught the words 'cat ears Shen Xu.' A trace of amusement flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his lips twitched slightly.
“When I was filming the anti-fraud promotional video, I wore a pink cat ears filter on my head.”
The host looked at her script, pursed her lips, but still couldn't hold back a laugh.
“This is indeed hard for anyone else to match.”
Zhao Songcheng clapped directly.
“An absolute instakill.”
Li Changming hadn't seen this short video, but judging by the reactions of the others, he knew this promotional video was probably not of the ordinary variety.
“I haven't seen it. I'll have to go watch it after the livestream ends.”
Su Yao had clearly seen it; she was currently laughing so hard she almost leaned out of the camera's frame.
“I've seen it! The short video where the hacker is pinned to the desk—that was Teacher Jiang, right?”
“It was me.”
Zhang Yu's hand hovered in front of the camera before he finally folded his finger down.
Zhao Songcheng folded his last finger.
Su Yao followed suit and folded one down, leaving her with one finger.
In this round, Zhang Yu and Zhao Songcheng were eliminated early.
Jiang Yue was the sole claimant, going from one point to two.
The comments scrolled at lightning speed. A single glance from the host revealed nothing but 'cat ears' and 'Shen Xu.'
【The pink cat-eared hacker himself admitted it!】
【Shen Xu's cool filter has shattered, yet somehow he feels even more complete now.】
【Police official account, hurry up and claim your anti-fraud ambassador!】
The host smiled and announced, “According to the rules, the person with the highest score at the end of this round wins. Teacher Jiang has two points, Teacher Su Yao has one point, so Teacher Jiang wins!”
Just as she was about to transition to the ad read for the reward, Zhang Yu suddenly chimed in.
“Speaking of 《Manhunt》, netizens were playing with the joke of 'suggesting a thorough investigation' back then, right?”
He smiled, quickly smoothing it over.
“Of course, everyone knows it was just the effect of the character.”
“But Teacher Jiang's way of going viral is indeed quite unique.”
A few question marks first popped up in the comments.
Soon, people began spamming the chat.
【Don't associate the character with the actor.】
【Why does this sound a bit off?】
【He did that on purpose, right? Saying it like that is just begging for people to misunderstand.】
Jiang Yue didn't give the topic any time to brew.
“I actually do have experience with that.”
He looked at the camera with a calm and composed expression.
“However, the follow-up was that the police officers approached me to shoot an anti-fraud promotional video.”
“So in a way, after they finished investigating me, they assigned me a legal education task.”
After speaking, he added in a serious tone, “Cooperating with the police's legal education and publicity is also a duty that every citizen should fulfill.”
The comments were quickly flooded with praise.
【'Assigned me a legal education task after the investigation'—this line is going to kill me from laughter.】
【A legal education task, who would dare refuse?】
【If they keep talking about this, the host is going to start sweating.】
Zhang Yu maintained his smile but didn't say anything more.
The host immediately spoke up to bring the topic to an end.
“Then let this also serve as a reminder to everyone to watch more anti-fraud propaganda.”
“Once again, congratulations to Teacher Jiang for winning this round of the game!”
The Kiwi Video operations team pinned a prominent notification in the chat.
【Congratulations to Jiang Yue for winning the character poster ad slot reward for the premiere week.】
After the director displayed a mockup of the reward, the host looked at the teleprompter.
“Next up is our final segment for tonight: audience Q&A from the comments. Each teacher will draw two questions.”
Zhao Songcheng was asked about Lin Zheng's romantic subplot.
Li Changming answered a question about his understanding of his character.
When it was Su Yao's turn, after answering an easy question, the host picked a comment about her character.
“Teacher Su Yao, a netizen asks: 'Your character, Shen Lingyi, falls in love with Lin Zheng in the drama, but your adoptive father is the one who killed Lin Zheng's father. How do you understand this character?'”
Su Yao had indeed done her homework, answering almost without hesitation.
“What Shen Lingyi thought was her home was actually a cage. The person she fell in love with was the first glimpse of hope she ever saw. Yet, this hope would ultimately have to destroy her home with his own hands.”
“It's not that she didn't know her adoptive father was good to her, nor was she unaware of what Lin Zheng hated. She always wanted to protect both sides, but as time went on, she realized that this was simply impossible.”
The critical voices regarding her casting in the comments began to fade, and people started saying she truly understood the character.
Finally, it was Jiang Yue's turn.
The host looked at the scrolling comments and selected a question.
“Teacher Jiang, netizen 'Chu Yan's Wine Flask' asks: 'The Chu Yan you play in the drama is a deeply hidden hostage prince, and in reality, you are also a deeply hidden Academic God. What do you think is the biggest commonality between you and Chu Yan?'”
Jiang Yue thought for a moment before replying.
“Not following the original plan.”
The host followed up, “Could you elaborate on that?”
Jiang Yue explained, “Chu Yan was originally supposed to be an obedient hostage prince, but later he played the fool to find his own way out.”
“I was originally supposed to just repair a server and leave with my money, but the director kept me to act.”
At this point, he couldn't help but find it a bit amusing himself.
“Both can be considered taking a sudden turn halfway down the road.”
The comments quickly flooded in.
【This summary is so accurate, but why does it feel so funny for some reason?】
【Other people's life-changing moments rely on miraculous encounters, while his relies on computer repair.】
【Chu Yan: Hostage prince situation. Jiang Yue: Server situation.】
The host nodded.
“This journey really has been full of sudden turns. Let's look at the last question.”
Among the numerous comments, she selected one related to Jiang Yue himself.
“Netizen 'Big River' asks: 'You didn't sign with a major company but chose to establish your own studio instead. What are your studio's plans and goals for the future?'”
