Chapter 204 Overturning the table
On the night the first episode was filmed, the production team released a trailer.
Unsurprisingly, the trailer features Jiang Tianyao.
The contestants were all top students from key high schools, except for Jiang Tianyao, who had some online popularity and traffic.
Especially her campus photos from a couple of days ago, featuring a pure and innocent young girl, earned her the title of "Millennial Beauty" and "New Generation Popular School Beauty" online.
In the trailer, the girl's eyes are filled with tears and her eyes are red. She cries and says that the questions are too difficult. She bites her lip, but she always manages to choose the correct answer.
Her name was far ahead in the rankings on the big screen.
"Waaaa, my baby is crying. Mommy's heart aches so much."
"Jiang Tianyao is so beautiful, she's practically a fairy."
"Didn't anyone notice Tian Tian's grades? She got them all right! A top student and a beauty, I love her!"
"Ugh, this trailer is so tantalizing! Can't we just see what kind of hellish question it is?"
"..."
Just like in the novel, Jiang Tianyao has a knack for attracting attention, and her popularity quickly soared.
The show's reservations even exceeded five million!
After the TV station staff worked overtime to edit the program, "Extraordinary Genius" premiered simultaneously on CCTV and online platforms at 8 pm on Sunday.
As the contestants entered the arena, their good looks immediately drew attention in this appearance-obsessed world.
Comments flooded the screen.
[Sweetie is still the beauty icon, why is Nuwa doing this to me!]
[Who is that guy next to Jiang Tianyao? He's so handsome!]
[......]
As the scene of contestants entering from Area A was about to end, Shi Sui flashed by briefly, showing only her back, and did not attract much attention.
The contestants in sections B, C, and D had relatively average looks, but when it came to section E, the live chat exploded.
[Holy crap, which boy band are these three handsome guys from?!]
[With this level of visual appeal, she'd be a total heartbreaker if she debuted!]
[So handsome, he'd be so handsome you wouldn't even notice if someone died next to you.]
[I didn't misread it, this is an educational program, not a talent show...]
[So handsome, he's practically guilty of being too handsome.]
[This guy is so tall and handsome!]
[That handsome guy is so special, the most unique young man I've ever met. He has a peculiar sense of loneliness about him, which others can't see, but I know that although he seems calm on the surface, he's lonely and broken inside. By the way, what's his WeChat?]
[I willingly agree to marry you, even if you do not wish to.]
[......]
Although the entrance screen only lasted a few seconds, the barrage of comments kept flooding in afterward.
The hashtag "[Extraordinary Academic Achievers Boy Band]" appeared on the trending searches.
After the contestants entered the venue, they quickly moved on to the preliminary question-and-answer session.
The main character of the show is naturally Jiang Tianyao.
The editor originally planned to cut a scene comparing Jiang Tianyao and Shi Sui side by side, creating a stark contrast between a perfect score and a zero score.
However, because Shi Sui's answers were so outstanding, it was discovered that the quiz machine was malfunctioning.
So all of Shi Sui's scenes were cut and replaced with Gu Chenyi's.
In the video, a handsome man and a beautiful woman answer questions in sync, displaying perfect teamwork.
[So handsome and beautiful, I'm totally shipping them again!]
[They were stunned; they locked eyes with a sense of destiny!]
[Let me tell you, this is a dating reality show!]
[......]
The hashtag "[Extraordinary Academic Genius Romance in a Variety Show]" has reappeared on the trending searches.
The questions became increasingly difficult, and the audience, like the contestants on stage, grew increasingly nervous.
Seeing Jiang Tianyao shed tears made me feel even more sorry for her.
[The production team is awful; the questions were way too difficult for me.]
[The moment Jiang Tianyao looked up, two small tears fell from beneath her eyes.]
[The show's bad guys are bullying Tian Tian! I'm going to beat them up!]
[......]
[Jiang Tianyao's Fairy Tears] has once again topped the trending searches.
As the show progressed, the trending topics changed, and soon it was time to announce the final results.
[Holy crap, all the boy band members are perfect! Turns out I'm an intellectual type!]
[Jiang Tianyao and Gu Chenyi are perfect! A handsome man and a beautiful woman, both high-IQ geniuses—I'm totally shipping them!]
[I searched for Gu Chenyi online, and guess what I found? He seems to be the heir to the Gu Group!]
[Sweetie got a perfect score while crying, so cute!]
[......]
Just as lively as Weibo is Xinghua Forum.
[Where's my sister Sui?! All we saw on the entire show was the back of her head?! I'm flipping the table!]
The main building shows Shi Sui's back as she enters.
1L: After watching the first episode plus the bonus episode, my sister Sui only had her back view for less than a second.
2L: Damn it! I upgraded the recording equipment for them to film Sister Sui, and what the hell did they film?!
3L: There's not even a front view, it's infuriating!
……
Amidst the outcry against the production team, someone noticed something.
21L: Did everyone notice that Sister Sui's score barely passed the cutoff?
22L: How is that possible? Chi Yan got full marks. Even if Sister Sui forgot to bring her brain when answering the questions, she couldn't possibly score lower than him.
23L: jpg. There really isn't a perfect score.
24L: This show is definitely rigged!
……
Shi Sui didn't watch the show; it was Song Xinying who called her.
She was so angry she almost cried.
Who wants to see those three stinky men! Where's my Sui Sui?!
Song Xinying cried out, "The production team is inhumane! They're so mean! I'm so angry! Ahhh!"
Shi Sui: "?"
"Sui Sui, why don't you have a single front-facing shot? What happened? Could it be that Jiang Tianyao was afraid of being overshadowed by you, so she bribed the production team to cut all your scenes?"
Shi Sui then remembered that the show had aired.
She asked, "Not even a single shot?"
"Waaaaah, it's just the back of my head, but it's also the most beautiful back of my head."
"Isn't it good that there are no cameras around?"
It's so much better to keep a low profile.
Song Xinying immediately exclaimed, "No, no! I want to see you on my 163-inch TV! My whole family wants to see you!"
Shi Sui thought for a moment and could only comfort him, "Then I'll do my best next time and try to get more screen time."
"Performance!" Song Xinying suddenly realized, "That's right! Is there something fishy going on with the show?"
"Sui Sui, how could you not get a perfect score! Even that idiot Chi Yan got a perfect score."
Shi Sui: "My answering device was malfunctioning, so I didn't get any points for the first few questions."
"!" Song Xinying exclaimed, "Damn it! The production team really has no conscience! I'm calling them right now!"
However, before the phone call could even be made, the production team had already issued an apology statement on Weibo.
It was a banquet at the pool.
When they learned that Shi Sui did not get a perfect score because the answering machine was malfunctioning, they immediately made a call to the front desk.
Waaah, my wife has been wronged, but she looks so indifferent. It makes me even more heartbroken.
The show should be re-recorded!
Arrange for him and his wife to be together!
The whole internet is going crazy for them!
Pack all the mistresses and their lovers to Mars! Goodbye (politely)!
This quickly became a trending topic: "Extraordinary Academic Star: Huge Fund Received Through Hard Work."
At first, people who clicked on the trending topic were completely confused.
The show "Super Genius" is very popular, as everyone knows.
[Study hard, and a huge sum of money arrives] This blogger is very mysterious, as everyone has witnessed.
But why would it appear in a single entry?
[Apology Statement]
???
[Holy crap, my idol, a master of metaphysics, is also participating in "Super Genius"!]
[Holy crap, who is this contestant? Let me see! Let me see!]
[Holy crap, the show apologizes—the expert's answering device broke.]
[Holy crap, did the pro player advance? If they didn't advance because of the show's fault, I'll kill the entire production team!]
[Nonsense! The top player definitely advanced; he was just incredibly lucky!]
[So, which player was the lucky one?]
[......]
Online speculation is rife about which contestant "[Study hard, huge sum of money arrives]" refers to, but since the program only provided an "@" tag and no other information, no one has been able to identify the winner.
At the same time, the students at Xinghua actually flipped the table.
The production team's phones were ringing off the hook.
You should know that, apart from those in the Rain and Dew Program, the students who can attend Xinghua are all young masters and ladies.
They are not from wealthy families, but at least they are from the upper-middle class.
"I upgraded the equipment for your program, not so you could film random stuff. Shi Sui, my sister Sui, my husband, remember that! Film her!"
"Where are my Sui Sui's scenes? You cut them all out, didn't you? XX is withdrawing its investment."
"I remember the studio is in XXX, G City. This land belongs to my family. If you don't want to move tomorrow, you'd better give me back my husband's camera lens!"
"Your husband is also...Shi Sui?"
"Heh, good to know!"
The production team was completely bewildered.
The boss just gave an urgent notice saying that Shi Sui is the wife of the group's eldest son, someone you can't afford to offend. How did she become the husband of these people?
Does the young master know that his wife has so many wives outside?
It's already being edited! If it's not edited soon, the boss will be begging for mercy tomorrow!
"To be honest, I'd love to see the leader kowtow."
I don't know who said that in the office.
The next second, everything went dark.
The entire building is without power!
Hey!
Looking out the window, the night was dark, but the lights were still on.
What happened? Only the TV station in the whole district is without power!
Backup power!
broken???
The production team is doomed! Hahaha!
The boss is going to kowtow tomorrow! There won't be another episode of "Super Genius"! Hahahaha!
Hahahahaha!
In the pitch-black building, someone burst into laughter, followed by a chorus of laughter.
The eerie laughter echoed all night.
