The straight man in the entertainment circle

When Lin Li got home, he returned the "Ciyuan" he had borrowed from the library, not daring to read it at all.

Lin Li then contacted Liang Sheng and told her about Fang Yurong's participation. When Liang Sheng heard that Fang Wenjian's granddaughter, whom the program team had always wanted to invite, agreed, he was immediately overjoyed.

Liang Sheng thanked Lin Li again, saying that he had greatly increased the ratings of the show.

After that, Fang Yurong was asked to provide ID information to the program team. Not long after, the program team sent Lin Li and Fang Yurong's air tickets.

Due to the popularity of this episode of "Chinese Studies Conference", videos of Lin Li answering questions on the show began to go viral on Douyin and Kuaishou.

Tickets for the next live recording of "Chinese Studies Conference" have also begun to be in demand.

Many people were charging high prices for tickets online, because there were only more than 200 people on site, and there were even fewer people selling them. The tickets were once sold for thousands. When Lin Li found out, he was speechless.

Although the Internet was full of praise, Lin Li's performance in the show was too eye-catching, which also attracted many sunspots' doubts.

"It's so fake. The hype team behind Lin Li is really crazy. Can it be more real?"

"I saw it and I thought it was fake. How could it be so powerful?"

"If he is so awesome, how could he not be admitted to Yan University?"

"Are you stupid? Lin Li got 0 points in history. Otherwise, he would have easily entered Yanda with a score of 30 points. Heizi is really forgetful."

"There are so many people who are better than Lin Li in Yan Da. Didn't there be one in the first period? No, he didn't win the championship. Lin Li won the championship. It doesn't matter if Lin Li succeeds in the competition. Treating all the contestants as background is indeed a bit insulting to the audience. With your IQ, do you think that no one can tell it’s fake?”

"Haha, do you still need Lin Li to insult your IQ? Do you have it?"

"I'm really convinced by you. Lin Li didn't even use the program team's questions this time. How could he be fake?"

"Isn't this clear? They must have bribed Zhang Xingyue to act in a play together. The two deliberately created conflicts at the beginning to make everyone think that they could not collude. In fact, they already knew what was wrong with each other in private. !”

"Damn it, you guys are so imaginative!"

"Don't tell me, it's really possible."

"The team behind Lin Li is really awesome. Can this create a lot of hype?!"

"I'm really speechless for you. Can you have some brains? Even if the other links can be colluded, can the idiom block link be designed? Isn't it the first to complete it after it has fallen all over the place?!"

"I think the program team should have edited it. The scene was not that fast at all."

"There are more than 200 people in the audience. Do you think they are all arranged by Lin Li?"

"I was at the scene, and there was no editing at all. Lin Li completed it just like that. Everyone on the scene was shocked!"

…………

Even though Lin Li has tried his best to isolate the people from the program team, the black guys can always use their imagination to hack Lin Li.

This time, Lin Li bribed Zhang Xingyue, and the two colluded. Lin Li had nothing to say to this group of black men, but the words of these black men did not arouse the recognition of many people, and did not trigger much discussion.

Moreover, this group of sunspots were so dark that it seemed a little difficult to justify themselves, and then the voices of doubt were completely drowned out by the voices of praise.

In the blink of an eye, Wednesday night came, and Lin Li took Fang Yurong on a plane to Fulan.

Flying is a treatment that only Lin Li can get. Fang Yurong has benefited from Lin Li. Most players only have ordinary high-speed rail tickets.

Fang Yurong dressed up specially today, wearing a dark gray plush coat, a pair of high-waisted plaid pants, and a light blue T-shirt. The color scheme is slightly low-key, but the matching is very high-end, and her face is full of Lin Li was stunned when he saw her youthful and girlish aura.

Some flight attendants on the plane recognized Lin Li, but out of professionalism, they just smiled at Lin Li, looked at Fang Yurong next to Lin Li a few more times, and did nothing else.

After getting off the plane, naturally someone from the program team came to pick her up.

The program team took the two of them to the same hotel where Lin Li stayed when he participated in "The Voice". The other contestants had double rooms, while Lin Li had a large suite.

Nearly a hundred Imperial Guardsmen held signs outside the hotel and shouted Lin Li's name. It was not clear where they got the news.

Fang Yurong was shocked when she saw Lin Li's influence outside Kyoto for the first time. She teased Lin Li and said, "Lin Li, I see there are many pretty girls outside."

"There must be a lot of men," Lin Li said.

Lin Li's fans have a similar ratio of men to women. Unlike other singers, who are mostly of the opposite sex. For example, Bai Jingyu has many female fans.

"You only pay attention to men!" Fang Yurong laughed.

Lin Li: "..."

Lin Li looked at the fans outside the window, remembered the past, and told Fang Yurong some things about when he first participated in the competition. Fang Yurong also listened with interest. The two chatted for a long time before going back to their rooms to sleep.

The next day, the recording of the fourth episode of "Chinese Studies Conference" officially began.

All the players gathered in the hotel lobby early in the morning to have breakfast. Lin Li was a big star, so he was treated differently from ordinary players. A special breakfast was delivered to his door.

After breakfast, everyone else was taken to the Mango Terrace by bus, while Lin Li was taken to the Mango Terrace by a special car.

Lin Li was obviously much more familiar than the first time he came. Following the staff's guidance, Lin Li arrived in the lounge. The ten players were in the lounge next door. A staff member was telling them the order of entry and precautions.

Liang Sheng and Qiu Tian came to Lin Li's lounge again.

"Teacher Liang, Teacher Qiu Tian." Lin Li stood up quickly when he saw them coming in.

Qiu Tian smiled and said, "Don't call me teacher, I wish I could become your teacher."

Lin Li's performance in the last period completely conquered Qiu Tian.

Lin Li smiled and said, "Then I'll call you Sister Qiu Tian."

Qiu Tian is four or five years older than Lin Li, so it's not an exaggeration to call Lin Li Sister.

Qiu Diandian nodded and said, "Okay."

Liang Sheng said: "Lin Li, the people coming this time are even better than the last time. You have to be mentally prepared."

"I think no matter how strong you are, you can't be stronger than Lin Li."

Qiu Tian said that Lin Li's performance in the last issue, if Qiu Tian had not been in the group and knew the truth, she would really think that there was something inside.

"I don't know about the others, but there is one person among the players today who is better than me." Lin Li said.

Liang Sheng and Qiu Tian were both slightly stunned. "Chinese Studies Conference" is now the most important program in the station. Creating a popular cultural program will be beneficial to Mango Channel's image and reputation.

The station does not dare to expect that the ratings will increase, but as long as the ratings of "Chinese Studies Conference" are stable above 1 for a few more episodes, it will be the greatest success.

The audience for cultural programs is limited. Many of CCTV's cultural programs are better than "Chinese Studies Conference" in terms of stage, host, production team, and cultural connotation, and their ratings are only about 1.

People in the industry recognize that a rating of 1.5 is the ceiling for cultural programs. Lin Li's incredible performance in the last episode helped this program break the ceiling, but the next few episodes won't be that high.

But because of the audience base, the possibility of falling below 1 is very small.

If "Chinese Studies Conference" wants to stabilize its ratings, it naturally needs Lin Li here!

Lin Li is now the soul of the "Chinese Studies Congress". When everyone watches the "Chinese Studies Congress", only a small number of people watch the program to learn Chinese studies. Most people come to see how Lin Li defeats his opponents.

Lin Li defeated the contestants and the champion in the last period, which was really full of tricks and made everyone enjoy it.

Now Lin Li said that there was someone stronger than him. Although Liang Sheng and Qiu Tian didn't believe it, they also knew that Lin Li would not be careless and modest.

If there really was someone better than Lin Li and defeated Lin Li, the ratings of this show would not be so easy to stabilize later on.

"Are you talking about Fang Yurong?" Liang Sheng asked.

Lin Li nodded and said, "Yes."

"Professor Fang Wenjian's granddaughter, no wonder."

Qiu Tian said: "Then today's game must be great to watch."

"Definitely."

The three chatted for a long time, and then someone from the program team came to ask them to get ready to go on stage.

The three of them then went to the back of the stage to prepare with the ten contestants next door.

This time, among the ten contestants, several of them Lin Li had seen in other cultural programs, and one was the overall champion of a certain cultural program on CCTV.

These ten contestants also looked more proud than the previous contestants. The previous contestants were somewhat excited when they met the host and Lin Li, and some came forward to take photos. However, this time the ten contestants did not seem to have the same attitude. What happened because of the appearance of Lin Li and Liang Sheng.

People began to enter the recording site. The on-site director gave instructions for a while before the chief director started counting down.

Liang Sheng and Qiu Tian came on stage.

"Walking with the classics." Liang Sheng said.

"Be friends with sages." Qiu Tian said.

"Welcome to the large-scale cultural and competitive program "Chinese Studies Conference" jointly produced by Mango Channel and the Ministry of Culture! I am the host Liang Sheng."

"I am the host Qiu Tian."

After the familiar opening remarks, Liang Sheng and Qiu Tian introduced the three judges, and the three judges gave their opening speeches one by one.

“Next, let’s invite our champion for this period, Lin Li!!”

After the three judges took their seats, Liang Sheng introduced them. The scene was filled with joy and Lin Li's name was shouted in unison.

The huge cheers at the scene gave people the illusion that this was not a cultural program but a Lin Li concert.

Lin Li came on stage, bowed to the audience, and then went to the throne of the champion.

The applause stopped, and Liang Sheng and Qiu Tian began to introduce the ten contestants this time.

"First place, the overall champion of "Chinese World", Li Jiaxin!"

"Second, the master of Sudoku, Ye Biao."

…………

"The last one...this one needs a proper introduction."

After Qiu Tian finished speaking, Liang Sheng stopped her and said, "I think it's more appropriate to let Lin Li introduce her."

Qiu Tian quickly woke up and said, "Yes, Lin Li should be the one to introduce it."

The audience at the scene naturally became curious when they heard that this player was going to be introduced by Lin Li.

There was a microphone next to Lin Li's seat. He picked up the microphone and said, "This is my classmate who was brought here by me. Her name is Fang Yurong."

After Lin Li finished speaking, Liang Sheng said, "Lin Li, you haven't finished the introduction yet."

Lin Li was stunned and asked, "What else?"

"Hello everyone, this Fang Yurong is the granddaughter of the well-known Professor Fang Wenjian!"

For the program team, Fang Yurong's identity as Fang Wenjian's granddaughter is more attractive than any other contestant's championship, so they are naturally unwilling to leave it alone.

"Okay, now I invite classmate Fang Yurong to come to the stage!"

Fang Yurong stepped onto the stage amidst the screams of countless people.

Aiwujiwu, Fang Yurong is Lin Li's classmate and Fang Wenjian's granddaughter. The audience's applause for her was naturally more enthusiastic than that of other contestants.

When Fang Yurong came on stage, her unforgettable and delicate face smiled at everyone, and the audience applauded even more enthusiastically.

You know, it is rare to see a beauty comparable to a star in this kind of cultural program. Everyone hopes that Fang Yurong can go further.

Fang Yurong was a little stunned when she heard the fierce applause, and she bowed to the audience to express her gratitude.

"Come on, classmate Fang Yurong, please introduce yourself."

Every player who takes the stage has a few words to introduce themselves.

Fang Yurong thought for a moment and said, "I don't think the host has finished the introduction. Actually... I still have an identity."

When everyone heard this, they all pricked up their ears.

Fang Yurong looked at Lin Li and said, "I'm a fan of Lin Li!"

After hearing what Fang Yurong said, everyone laughed.

Someone in the audience shouted: "So are we!"

Liang Sheng said: "I finally discovered that Lin Li's fans are all Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Huang Mengting also said that her idol is Lin Li last time."

Fang Yurong smiled and said: "Little girl Huang Mengting joined our Royal Forest Army group when she returned home."

Everyone laughed again.

Qiu Tian asked Lin Li: "Lin Li, do your fans have any requirements for appearance? Why are they all so good-looking?"

Lin Li asked back: "Sister Qiu Tian, ​​do you want to join? Don't worry, you don't have to worry about your appearance."

Qiu Tian's face turned red, and she suddenly said charmingly: "You have said so, but it doesn't mean that you can't consider it..."

Everyone in the audience laughed.

Liang Sheng saw that the program was going a little awry and announced: "Okay, all the contestants have been introduced. Let's get ready to start the competition. Are you ready?"

The players and the audience shouted in unison: "Ready!"

The hall echoed with everyone's voices, and the tense music entering the game began to play.

"Very good, I announce that the fourth episode of Mango TV's "Chinese Studies Conference" will now officially begin!"
