Hearing Su Yang's words, Ji Rufeng pursed his lips and looked at Su Yang, saying, "To go to the United States to bring glory to Long Country."
"Oh~" Su Yang said "oh" and chuckled, "But I actually have a question. As a top-tier celebrity like you, you must have a lot of girlfriend fans and wife fans. Aren't you afraid that your fans will be unhappy if you participate in a dating show?"
This question made Su Yang seem like a very composed and ordinary person.
Asking this question indicated that Su Yang was an ordinary person, and being able to ask Ji Rufeng this question in front of so many people showed that Su Yang was completely unafraid of the cameras.
On the contrary, Ji Rufeng's constant fake smiles, pretending to be gentle, were less appealing.
Su Yang looked at Ji Rufeng, who was sitting diagonally opposite him, with a faint smile on his face that made him appear very amiable.
"My god, why is a man with immeasurable assets still so gentle!?"
"And he doesn't seem to be faking it at all! This is pure gentleness from the bone!"
"Unlike Ji Rufeng with his fake smile!"
"I declare I've completely fallen for Su Yang, Su Yang is my husband!"
"The one upstairs, you've bumped into my husband."
......
Ji Rufeng's team had discussed this issue with him before, but at this moment, Ji Rufeng was not in his usual calm state. Su Yang had already made him somewhat flustered.
Looking at the person in front of him, Ji Rufeng moved his lips and said, "I... I thought about this problem at first. I would definitely not accept such a show.
But later, the staff told me that this was actually a program to promote traditional culture abroad, and it required people with high national recognition.
As I am quite popular in Long Country right now, my company recommended me."
"My god... Ji Rufeng, do you even know what you're saying?"
"Talking about national recognition in front of Wang Zheng???"
"Didn't his team do any question prediction? How could he answer this most likely question so badly?"
"In less than an hour, Ji Rufeng is finished."
"Ji Rufeng should go home and farm."
......
Liang Li, who was listening to the conversation, paused slightly after hearing Ji Rufeng's words. She now completely looked down on Ji Rufeng.
Indeed, in front of an exceptional man like Su Yang, who else would look at Ji Rufeng?
Let alone Ji Rufeng, who else around Su Yang could catch anyone's eye?
"Ru Feng is still so confident, haha." Although Liang Li was very dissatisfied with Ji Rufeng's answer in her heart, she still tried to smooth things over by saying, "haha."
While Ji Rufeng was speaking, he kept hearing his agent's voice in his earpiece. After he finished speaking, the agent directly cut off Ji Rufeng's earpiece.
This meant that the agent was completely abandoning Ji Rufeng.
After all, the show's viewership had been declining all evening for some unknown reason, and Ji Rufeng hadn't even managed his facial expressions properly. His current speech only made the agent completely disappointed.
Who knew what kind of damage those words would suffer if edited by someone intending to bring Ji Rufeng down.
The agent felt too much of a headache, so he decided to ignore Ji Rufeng altogether.
Su Yang, upon hearing Ji Rufeng's words, smiled and said nothing further.
However, he had already decided that he would definitely win this competition.
"Our schedule today is actually very short, because in three days, our contestants will depart to participate in the program. Today we also have a segment to solicit votes for ourselves. Have all three of you prepared a performance?"
Wang Zheng smiled and raised his hand, saying, "I'm ready. I'll go first. I heard these two youngsters are both going to sing."
Upon hearing this, Liang Li smiled at Wang Zheng and said, "Okay, let's invite Teacher Wang to bring his vote-soliciting performance."
Wang Zheng was an actor and director, and his profession was related to performance. Therefore, this time, Wang Zheng brought a performance he had written himself to solicit votes.
It was very humorous and witty, making the audience both inside and outside the venue burst into laughter.
"Teacher Wang Zheng is so funny with this skit."
"How can someone joke about themselves so freely?"
"Teacher Wang is serious about participating in the program this time."
"Teacher Wang wants to go out and bring glory to our Long Country, so of course he would prepare well."
"I wonder what kind of performance Su Yang will bring. The 'Blue and White Porcelain' he sang on 'Big Star Interview' before was amazing."
"Will Su Yang sing today too?"
"Looking forward to it, looking forward to it!"
......
In the barrage of comments, no one cared about Ji Rufeng anymore.
They were all discussing Wang Zheng and Su Yang.
Ji Rufeng's transformation from top-tier traffic and trending topic to his current state was also quite rare in the entertainment industry.
"Alright, my performance is over. Thank you, everyone." Wang Zheng bowed to the audience with a smile, then held the microphone and said, "I know the essence of this dating show is to go out and bring glory to the country, and I know that I have no competitive advantage against these two young men. But in my life, Wang Zheng has never asked the audience for anything.
If you like my performance, please cast a vote for me and give Wang a chance to go abroad and bring glory to the country. Thank you!"
After finishing, Wang Zheng bowed again to the audience below and then returned to his seat.
"A very, very wonderful performance. Although it was humorous and funny, Teacher Wang's performance was truly brilliant. He is indeed a professor of acting at our Capital Academy of Arts."
Liang Li stood up from beside Su Yang and said to Wang Zheng.
Wang Zheng waved his hand, "You flatter me. It's just basic acting skills."
"Okay, let's invite the next contestant, Ru Feng, to bring his performance. A singing and dancing number, 'Love Like Fire'."
Liang Li did not say much when introducing Ji Rufeng's performance.
She had also heard about the online reviews in her earpiece just now.
Liang Li could also see Ji Rufeng's expressions, so at this moment, she really didn't have much consideration for Ji Rufeng.
Ji Rufeng originally debuted as an idol and later became an actor. Most people in the entertainment industry are like this now.
Whether you sing or dance, in the end, you become an actor.
However, Ji Rufeng's basic skills were not very strong. He was already twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, which was old for an idol, and he truly lacked acting skills as an actor.
But no matter what Ji Rufeng did before, he would always have many, many fans supporting him.
As long as he was liked, whatever he did would be praised.
But... in less than an hour, Ji Rufeng was no longer as popular.
Towards people they no longer liked, everyone was very harsh.
"Love Like Fire" was a recently popular song, combining singing and dancing. Ji Rufeng, being a former idol, had learned this. However, due to his age, it was just average.
Moreover, Ji Rufeng was not in the right state today, which led to him hitting wrong notes several times and going off-key several times during the song, making it a complete disaster.
After the performance, only a few die-hard Ji Rufeng fans in the audience and Wang Zheng, being very gracious, applauded for him.
Su Yang also applauded, but when Ji Rufeng saw it, he felt that Su Yang was mocking him.
After the song, Ji Rufeng was panting heavily and had no energy to care about anything else.
He didn't even bow to the audience before walking off the stage and returning to the sofa.
"Ji Rufeng..."
"I don't want to laugh anymore. I used to think his singing and dancing were great."
"Umm, what was he doing just now?"
"He can be considered top-tier traffic? Is the entertainment industry finished..."
"I was blind before..."
The barrage of comments condemning Ji Rufeng came one after another, but unfortunately, Ji Rufeng couldn't see them.
After the agent cut off the earpiece, Ji Rufeng got angry and took off his earpiece immediately after finishing the song.
