Chapter 194
Chapter 194
The sudden studio accident caused the scene to fall into a state of collapse, and felt the sudden change of horror atmosphere. Many trainees who were about to cry with red eyes were so frightened that they held back their tears.
No one dared to speak at such a nearly frozen moment, just like all the trainees who have abused the program group behind their backs never dared to point their noses at Gao Shenglong and scold him, even if they scolded Qianguang's black box operation in private Ten thousand times, when I see Gao Shenglong, I still have to call "Guide Gao" with a smile all over my face.
When the show progresses to the current stage, everyone is no longer surprised by this kind of behavior of exchanging money for tickets. Shen Yirong, who was ridiculed in a fancy way at the beginning, gradually calmed down the fierce rhetoric on the Internet, and even his fans occasionally I also say things like "If you want money, you can also help your idol who is not up to date".
Everyone seems to acquiesce in this kind of private operation, as if doing it by one person is the shady king who needs to be targeted, but if a group of people are doing it, this is an unspoken "hidden rule".
Maybe I was angry and complained at the beginning, but as time went by, this unspoken rule that was not put on the table has become a common self-deprecating self-deprecating that can be brought on the table.
If I have money, I can buy it too-who made me have no money?
No one remembers that the rule of this program is "voted by the entire audience". If someone really jumped out and acted like a fool, it would seem to be a ridiculous thing instead.
Just like the ridiculous situation now, the only person who said that the emperor didn't wear new clothes was being covered tightly, and the others seemed to be deaf, turning into a statue poured on the seat.
But... Even if everyone can sit in their seats and pretend to be deaf and dumb, there is still one person who must stand up and speak out.
That is-
Bright big brother Zhu Xuanzhen.
"Director Gao, Min Fengqi definitely didn't mean that..."
Gao Shenglong waved his hand and interrupted him very rudely: "You let him talk."
"What he just said didn't mean he was dissatisfied with the program team, he just..."
Gao Shenglong raised his voice: "You let him talk."
He didn't even have the intention of raising his eyes to look at Zhu Xuanzhen, but just leaned on the seat with his arms folded, his arrogance was beyond words.
Mina said coldly: "Let's stop here for today, everyone has worked hard. Min Fengqi, go back and reflect on it. I will pass on this inappropriate remarks to Cuichan. I think you Cuichan may need to strengthen the management education of trainees... "
"Did I say we can break up?" Gao Shenglong slammed the teacup on the table, and the loud "bang" made the hearts of the trainees on the scene jump.
Mina turned her head and looked at Gao Shenglong's gloomy face. She moved her lips, and finally sat back in her seat with a straight posture.
"You seem to have a problem with us? Why, you are so big, I have to put you all in, is this fair?" Gao Shenglong sneered, "All the advantages are for you to take advantage of, is that what you mean? This How about changing the name of the variety show to "Brilliant and Their Runners"?"
This kind of thunder and fury struck head-on, if ordinary people were left alone, they would have been too scared to speak a word.But Min Fengqi didn't have the slightest fear, he broke away from Zhu Xuanzhen's hand holding him down, and walked down the steps step by step—until he stood in front of Gao Shenglong, he stopped.
The young man's back was straight, sparks were shining in his eyes, but his tone was as calm as an ice shell covering a volcano that hadn't melted yet, with a sharp coldness like a scalpel.
"I've actually wanted to ask these questions a long time ago. It doesn't matter who is eliminated. I just want to ask—is your group treating people as fools? The rules on the broadcast are written in black and white,'According to the votes of the audience The ranking is determined by the number of popularity', I wonder if your group ate it by themselves?"
"If you can buy tickets and rankings with money, why didn't you announce it as public information to all viewers from the beginning? Why didn't you write it in the rules? Because, even you know-it's not honorable to say such a thing! It is a ridiculous rule that will be ridiculed by the crowd, and it is an inferior and low-level rubbish method that should not exist in a competitive game!"
"And you guys are acting as if this kind of thing is normal now, even to the point where you can treat half of a person's votes as air for no reason, and treat the votes cast by the audience day and night as non-recyclable garbage according to your own preferences. It's unbelievable. Do you still think it's a fool to treat the audience who put forward the rules so seriously? You spend money to buy your video members and peripherals, diligently vote for trainees, and spread popularity for your programs. In the end? In the end, who goes up and who goes down is up to you to decide—what do you think of the audience and contestants?"
"That's right, the so-called swiping votes and spending money to buy rankings are all so familiar to everyone! Why? Of course it's because everyone is doing it. Then, may I ask—why is it because everyone is doing it? To endure this unreasonable thing riding on my head, having my brain and personality rubbed against the ground by it?"
Ming Qiu was completely dumbfounded.
He always knew that Min Fengqi had a bad temper, but he never thought that his younger brother would quarrel with the director who held the power of life and death because of him—no, maybe not only because of him, but also because of every weird ranking after entering the program group, The sweat that dripped from the floor during those nights of dancing all night, and all the trainees who passed by in the show, found no one, and finally regretted being eliminated.
Even if he became an idol, he was still the rapper who would yell at the world for injustice in his heart, but he was still shouting and flying in his heart even though he was in chains.
but……
No, Xiao Fenger, stop now... I can't continue talking...
Ming Qiu didn't know that his lips were trembling almost white, he really wanted to say something, but he just felt dizzy, the adrenaline was still surging due to fear, the rows of lights from the roof swirled in front of his sight, and finally melted It became a brilliant sea of stars.
"Director Gao!" He heard his elder brother's voice drifting from afar, "We Cancan didn't question the meaning of the program group, Min Fengqi just lost control of his emotions because of Mingqiu's elimination, please don't misunderstand ..."
As if to drive away annoying bugs, Gao Shenglong waved his hand, signaling Zhu Xuanzhen to get out of the way.
The blood on Zhu Xuanzhen's lips faded very quickly, obviously he was under a lot of pressure at the moment.
But the eldest brother of the Cui Can family is known for his patience, so much so that other trainees doubt it—if someone slaps him on the left cheek, Zhu Xuanzhen can still ask him to slap him on the right cheek with a smile on his face.Even though he was humiliated by Gao Shenglong with such a contemptuous gesture, he still had a smile on his face as always, and even had a flattering taste on his face.
Gao Shenglong looked at Min Fengqi who was guarded by Zhu Xuanzhen expressionlessly, and laughed without warning: "Is this what you want to say? Have you finished?"
While speaking, he stood up from the chair and paced back and forth, patrolling the people present like a falcon catching prey: "I saw what is justice from heaven today, and you all think so ? Who else has the same idea, but come out to let me see and learn, and learn from it?"
His laughter vibrated back and forth in the large studio, but in response to this, the other trainees lowered their heads together.
No one dared to look at such an angry Gao Shenglong, who could only shrink himself into a ball and stay away from his sharp gaze.
Satisfied with this status quo, he spread out his hands and made a gesture of showing ironically: "It seems that you are the only one who has such an idea, look, no one has stood up to support you ...Oh, speaking of it, there is another person standing here. Then, Zhu Xuanzhen, do you think so too?"
Zhu Xuanzhen's eyes froze, and before he could speak, Gao Shenglong said meaningfully: "You have to think about it clearly, is your current behavior representing yourself, or is it representing Brilliance?"
Seeing the young man's struggling expression, Gao Shenglong paced back and forth leisurely: "You Cuican also signed a contract with Qianguang, if such words get out, Qianguang will have a lot of negative effects...you signed the contract back then. In the contract, I remember that there is a similar clause - if the artist's inappropriate remarks trigger public opinion and directly cause losses to the show, the artist and your company will be responsible for the compensation. I believe you still have an impression of this clause, right?"
Min Fengqi, who was forced to keep quiet because of his elder brother's appearance, finally couldn't help it: "I said in this kind of place, how could it possibly leak out and cause public opinion, unless you Qianguang let it out by yourself..."
"Min Fengqi!"
Even though Zhu Xuanzhen had already yelled at Gao Shenglong angrily before him, such a confrontation was still enough to make an honored director who was used to being a master feel uncomfortable.
Thinking that the source of this displeasure was because he had been tied up before the filming of the show, Gao Shenglong felt even worse. The look of the young boy glaring at him was simply terrible.
——I was so upset that I wanted to smash all the bones of this thorny head.
After signaling to the cameraman to turn off the camera and confirming that the recording had been stopped, Gao Shenglong completely turned cold: "Min Fengqi, let me ask you again for the sake of being bright, do you admit your mistake? If you want to admit your mistake, I can let you go horse."
Regardless of the big brother winking at the side, Min Fengqi stiffened his neck and refused to admit defeat: "I don't know what I have to admit, and I don't know where I am wrong. Don't you keep saying that you eat more salt than we eat rice? Well, please teach me."
Gao Shenglong nodded: "Okay... Then I will teach you today, what is the end of being a person in the entertainment circle without tails between your legs."
No one expected that Gao Shenglong, who was still smiling one second, raised his hand the next moment, and a crisp "pop" exploded in the entire studio.
Probably even Min Fengqi himself didn't think about it, he took a step back after being slapped by the slap, his eyes were only blank - at that moment just now, he didn't react to anything.
He didn't raise his head until the pain emerged from his skin.
"You can continue to resist, but your elder brother may be in trouble." Gao Shenglong sneered, and said calmly as if he was sure of winning, "You don't care about your retirement, otherwise Zhu Xuanzhen will also retire with you. Back to Cui Can, he can still teach you how to respect your seniors in the entertainment circle—what do you think?"
The boy's movements froze all of a sudden, fine sweat dripped and slid down his flushed cheeks, the burning pain mixed with the buzzing sound of tinnitus, accompanied by the backflow of blood straight to the top of his head, made him look Like a wolf cub about to run away at any time.
"It's the virtues of the artists you have produced, and it's because you, the 'big brother', didn't teach well, or Zhu Xuanzhen, you would retire with him? Now, let me see... ah, No.8, it's a pity to be empty, Otherwise, let all the trainees behind move forward one place?"
The boy's teeth were chattering, and Gao Shenglong's heart trembled a little with his fierce eyes.
"It has nothing to do with my elder brother." Min Fengqi said word by word, "I deserve it for my retirement, please don't do anything to my elder brother..."
Gao Shenglong was amused: "Is this your attitude of asking for help? It is difficult to say 'you' to your seniors? What kind of apologetic attitude is this?"
"...Please let me withdraw from the competition. I will take care of what I do alone." Min Fengqi closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were filled with dead silence, "Please, Director Gao, I beg you to forgive me for my inappropriate words and actions just now."
"Little Feng'er..."
"Did I let you talk?" Gao Shenglong snapped, "Since you Cuican have taught such a thing, I will teach you Cuican. Why do you interrupt?"
No one spoke.
Gao Shenglong finally felt angry. Seeing Min Fengqi staring at the ground as if diverting his attention, he said in a very generous way: "You are still young and don't understand many things. I forgive you. But this Apologize, you have to be a little sincere, right?"
"...How do you need me to express my sincerity?"
Gao Shenglong touched his chin: "How about this, you kneel down first, correct your attitude, and I will reconsider your elder brother's retirement. How about it, it's very simple, right?"
As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar!
"I can't bear it any longer..." Qin Ye stood up abruptly, but was grabbed by Meng Xiunan.
The latter lowered his voice and said anxiously, "What are you going to make trouble for?"
"Do we deserve to be insulted like this? Let Feng'er kneel in public, this is so fucking deceiving..." Qin Ye was so angry that he trembled, "I can't take it anymore, I'm going to quit the game scold him……"
"Did Aunt Song send us here so that you could scold the director and retire collectively!?" Meng Xiunan said angrily, "Old Qin, please calm down..."
"How the hell am I calm, how do you make me calm..." Qin Ye, a 1.8-meter-five-meter man, his eyes were so red that he was about to bleed, "If you can bear it, you can bear it. Let's die together! Retire as soon as you retire, who does he want to threaten, I don't accept this..."
Before the words finished, Min Fengqi, who had been silent all this time, bent his knees and hit the floor.
The bone was knocked on the smooth marble bricks, and there was an extremely crisp impact sound, which made everyone's hearts sink.
The young man whose upper body was still not bent in the slightest pursed his lips. Because of the humiliation, the hand placed by his side was unconsciously clenched into a fist, and veins burst out from the back of his hand.
"For my inappropriate remarks, I, express my apologies to you."
Anyone could hear the deep unwillingness in Min Fengqi's stiff tone, and the young man's beautiful eyes quickly climbed up with dense red blood threads, as dense as if they were covered with spider webs.
"I can accept retiring from the competition, but please don't blame other people for my reasons... My behavior only represents me personally, and has nothing to do with Cancan. Please, you, don't be promoted to the company."
The whole place was so silent that only his breathing could be heard - like the whistling of a dilapidated bellows.
"Oh, now I know how to apologize and realize that I did something wrong... Then why did you make such unfounded slander against our program group?"
Gao Shenglong clicked his tongue twice, seeing Min Fengqi's angry but forced to bear it, he seemed to find this scene quite enjoyable and relieved his anger.
Zhu Xuanzhen didn't expect that Min Fengqi, who was so proud to the core, would kneel as soon as he said it, and looked at his younger brother with a blank expression who seemed to be bleeding from his own teeth.As the eldest brother who has always been the fastest and most responsive, he behaved as if his brain had shut down at this moment.
No, it's not so much that he was stunned, it would be better to say that his heart was broken.
Gao Shenglong walked around Min Fengqi, looked the little boy up and down, and then sighed with regret: "Don't you know that your two casual rumors will hurt all our staff? I know I'm afraid, but I want to say sorry lightly and let it go? Our program team is so wronged. We have worked so hard to train and cultivate you trainees, but we were bitten back. Hehe, this is how you educated you. ? Is this the attitude towards your benefactor? This expression seems to be quite reluctant..."
Min Fengqi's neck was so tense that the veins were stretched out, and he tried his best to take a few deep breaths before suppressing the unyielding expression on his face: "What should I do... so that you, feel, satisfied?"
He spoke these words intermittently, as if even speaking was an extremely difficult thing for him.
Gao Shenglong pretended to think for two seconds, clapped his hands and smiled: "Okay, you just keep your movements like this and don't move, shouting 'I, Min Fengqi, don't know good and bad, I am ashamed of Gao Dao's cultivation, I know I was wrong', and shouted 100 times, I'll just pretend it never happened. Simple, right?"
No one expected that Luo Xiao would say at this moment: "I don't think this is... not very good."
It was obviously his own speech, but after realizing that everyone's eyes were on him, Luo Xiao's expression was still dazed for a moment, and then he mustered up the courage to say: "I, I think his apology is sincere enough... ...can you please forgive him?"
"Do you want to retire too?" Gao Shenglong's exaggerated performance made people feel as if he had seen an alien, "You are... oh, Luo Xiao, right? Do you think your ranking at 21 is too high and you want to Sit for someone else? How about this, if you want to accept his apology instead of me, you come down and pick someone from the knockout table to sit on your seat—what do you think?"
No one expected Luo Xiao to stand in for Min Fengqi, whom he didn't know well at this time.Before the bewildered Luo Xiao could say anything else, Qin Ye, who was sitting above, broke free from Meng Xiunan's hand and stepped down in two or three steps.
"Ono, what are you doing..."
In the exclamation that Zhu Xuanzhen blurted out, Qin Ye bent his legs and knelt down neatly beside Min Fengqi, saying word by word: "I beg the senior director, don't let Min Fengqi retire, and please let him go. It's only on behalf of a person, not On behalf of Cancan, all my actions have nothing to do with the company."
Min Fengqi's pupils shrank violently, and a cry came from his throat: "...Old Qin."
"Oh my God..." Meng Xiunan's mouth overflowed with a weak sigh. Seeing things had come to this point, he walked down the steps step by step under the eyes of everyone who said "have you gone crazy?"
Arranging clothes, tidying trouser legs, bending one leg, and sticking the other leg to the ground.
"On behalf of myself, I request the senior director not to let Min Fengqi and Qin Ye retire... At the same time, I promise that my actions are only based on my own wishes and have nothing to do with the company."
The expression of the bun-faced boy was the same determination and determination as his two younger brothers.
Seeing the behavior of his younger brothers, Zhu Xuanzhen's lips trembled, and he could hardly connect the words: "You..."
"I'm sorry big brother, I really can't stand it anymore..." Qin Ye's expression was unusually frank when he was kneeling on the ground, "You have always taught us to be patient, no matter what situation we encounter, we must be patient. I think so, but being a coward is really not my style...I've failed your expectations, I'm sorry."
Seeing that Zhu Xuanzhen's face was pale and crumbling, Gao Shenglong let out a strange voice of surprise: "What are you all doing? Why, you are still kneeling together in groups these days. The worship is coming? I can't bear to be your ancestors." ah……"
Zhu Xuanzhen felt a buzzing noise stirring his brain.
Even though his feet were still on the tiles, he had the illusion that he was standing unstable as if he was standing on cotton.
The whole world is being cut apart inch by inch, shattered into colorful and grotesque glass pieces, and each layer of slices clearly reflects the innocent and carefree faces of the younger brothers.
There was Ming Qiu who would bring him gifts every time he went home, and Meng Xiunan who remembered that his leg was injured and specially found a bunch of bruise medicine wine;
There was Qin Ye who was shivering on his bed because he was afraid of bats that would come in, and there was Luo Heze who wrote him a thank-you letter quietly saying, "It's nice to have you";
There was Min Fengqi, who watched him collapse in the dance studio late at night and dressed him up, and there was Zhang Qilian, who would buy him another copy of everything, who was still a child but was so well-behaved that people felt distressed.
Each of them is a gentle and lovely child, his younger brother who vowed to shelter them from the wind and rain and prop up a piece of pure land for them in the entertainment circle of disputes between right and wrong.
Wanting to avoid those endless thorns and traps when they are still fragile and fragile, what he wants to teach them is to restrain the sharp thorns on their bodies and understand what it means to temporarily avoid the edge.
——Instead of being trampled on the head without dignity like it is now!
"I think, there are some things I need to remind Director Gao..."
A string snapped in the brain.
The smile on Zhu Xuanzhen's face completely disappeared, and with a decisive mood that he knew was impossible, he said something that he should never have said: "The cooperation between Cui Can and Qianguang is not just in this program. There are still two variety shows that need to use our brilliant artists, and the negotiations have reached the final stage..."
"Leaving this aside, Cuican currently has plans to cooperate with Qianguang in investment. I think it's inappropriate for Director Gao to treat Cuican's artist like this at such a critical moment, if there are unmanageable consequences...isn't it appropriate?"
Facing the rare cold face of the young man, Gao Shenglong had no sense of fear at all, and raised his final voice with full contempt: "What do you mean? Are you threatening me?"
He never took this young man with such a gentle temper, so gentle that he sometimes made people feel cowardly, in his eyes.
Probably because of the reason given by the company, young people always take it as their responsibility not to cause any trouble to their partners, as if they have no will of their own, nor do they have the slightest rebellion that a "human" should have.
No matter what situation he faced, he always obeyed with a low eyebrow.Even if what befalls him is endless criticism and embarrassment, he will only discount his torso and force himself into the template required by others.
Such a tool without blood and personality, no matter how much you stare in front of him, you have to bow your head obediently and admit your mistake in the end...
Just when Gao Shenglong thought so, Zhu Xuanzhen laughed out of anger.
The dazzling light spots of the studio are reflected in the youth's eyes, as bright as sparks.
"What if, I say 'yes'?"
Gao Shenglong couldn't believe his ears.
What did he say?
How can it be?How could such a cowardly little character who rubbed him casually like plasticine know how to resist! ?
Before the dumbfounded Gao Shenglong could react, Zhu Xuanzhen pulled up his younger brother who was still kneeling on the ground, and the young man's elegant and gentle voice was extraordinarily bright because of his anger at this moment: "Xiao Qi, He Ze, come down! Xiao Ye, go help A Qiu ,let's go!"
Zhu Xuanzhen's sound seemed to be some kind of signal, Zhang Qilian jumped up suddenly, and looked at Luo Heze, the two stood up from their seats together: "Okay!"
As Luo Heze and Zhang Qilian ran down the steps, just like when they first came to this studio and bowed deeply to the stage, the seven finally stood together again.
"You, you... what are you going to do?"
Zhu Xuanzhen turned his head without hesitation, walked out with his younger brothers like the wind, and said in a loud voice: "As you wish, we have collectively called a strike! The strikers report the number—Zhu Xuanzhen!"
"Ming, Mingqiu..."
"Meng Xiunan!"
"Qin Ye!"
"Luo Heze!"
"Min Fengqi!"
"Zhang Qilian——the bright seven sons, the assembly is over!" Zhang Qilian turned his head and stuck out his tongue at the astonished people, "We will leave by ourselves, so there is no need to send it away!"
Some staff members subconsciously wanted to stop them, Zhu Xuanzhen looked at them seriously, with a firm attitude, and said loudly, "Please make way."
After staring at each other for a few seconds, several staff who were at a loss actually backed away.
The audience watched helplessly as the figures of all members of Brightness disappeared at the door.
Ming Qiu's expression was in a trance, and the figure supported by Qin Ye was still a little staggering: "Brother, where are we going...?"
Zhu Xuanzhen said forcefully, "Go home!"
