Chapter 171 - The Princess" Talent Shocks The Net
[ Well, letting celebrities compete in poetry… Isn"t this killing them? Hahahaha. ]
[ That"s not necessary. Celebrities shouldn"t be good at this, right? Aren"t we letting them go up and lose face? ]
[ So what if they"re celebrities? Don"t celebrities need to be cultured? What a joke. They have such a huge influence. If they don"t even study, won"t they lead their fans astray? ]
[ That"s right. I think the Watermelon Platform segment was added quite well. I urge celebrities to improve their self-cultivation. Don"t be uneducated all the time and embarra.s.s yourself everywhere. ]
The entertainment industry emphasized acting, talent, and appearance. In fact, there were no high requirements for one"s cultural standards. In the entire entertainment industry, there were a large number of people whose cultural results were not especially high.
The opinion of many celebrities was that they had good looks and were uneducated.
Hence, before Xia Wanyuan and the rest were about to start the poetry compet.i.tion segment, many people were doubtful.
The host divided the 12 people on stage into three teams, led by Qin Wu, Xia Wanyuan, and Ruan Yingyu.
Through answering questions, they would acc.u.mulate points for their group. In the end, the group with the higher points would be rewarded, and the group with the lower points would have to drink an entire cup of bitter melon juice as punishment.
The groups were divided according to the method of drawing lots. Those who were a.s.signed to the Qin Wu group were very happy. This was because Qin Wu had graduated from a specialized course and his cultural upbringing was much better than Xia Wanyuan and Ruan Yingyu.
Meanwhile, those who had drawn Xia Wanyuan"s team did not look so good.
[ Hahahahahahaha, I saw Teacher w.a.n.g"s face turn green when he realized that he was in Xia Wanyuan"s team. ]
[ I"m dying of laughter. Whoever gets a.s.signed to Xia Wanyuan"s team is destined to drink bitter melon juice. It"s too miserable. ]
[ Just now, after Liu Jia saw the name Xia Wanyuan on the note, he glanced at the bitter melon juice. It"s very tragic. Hahahaha, it"s too tragic. ]
In the program, after everyone was divided into groups, they stood separately.
"Now, please listen to the question. In ancient times, people divided the instruments into "silk" and "bamboo", for the string and wind instruments respectively. Which one of them is the wind instrument? A. Silk Bamboo."
"B"
While the others were still thinking, Xia Wanyuan had already blurted out the answer.
"The answer is correct. Five points will be added for the third group. For the next question, which scene is the most suitable to be portrayed with ink painting?
A: Falling clouds and lonely birds, together in the autumn water
B. Back into the deep forest, reflect on the moss
C. The lone boat brawler, fis.h.i.+ng in the snow river
D. The lotus leaves of the Heaven Reaching Lotus are endless, the lotus flowers of the sun are another type off red
"C"
Just as the host finished speaking, Xia Wanyuan had already answered.
"Congratulations on adding another five points to the third group. Please listen to the next question. Which poem does not have the intention of using the Moon?
A. May we all be together for a long time.
B. Mu Yun retracted her cold aura and silently turned the jade plate.
C. The sound of the flute, the light of the jade kettle, and the dance of the dragonfish in the night.
D. The mother of clouds, the candle is deep, the river falls and the stars fall…"
"D"
"Correct! Five more points for the third group!"
This time, not only were the people at the scene shocked, but also the people in the comments. If the first time was coincidental by Xia Wanyuan, then the second and third time could not be so coincidental, right?!!
[ There"s a script, right? ]
[ It"s a little fake. The speed of the champion of the poetry meet isn"t even that fast. I feel like she didn"t even think before reading the answer out loud. ]
[ Would the Watermelon TV Station promote Xia Wanyuan like this? With her previous illiterate standards, only a ghost would believe that she could answer so quickly. ]
At that time, most of the people in the recording studio had the same thought as the netizens in the comments. They all felt that it was incredible, so there was a commotion.
Initially, everyone watched variety shows because they wanted to see the true performance of the celebrity guests. In the end, even such a thing had to be released in a script, which instantly incited public anger.
Furthermore, the poetry meet had a high status in everyone"s hearts. The poetry meet was designed to pa.s.s down traditional culture. If even this was fake, then it was simply stepping on everyone"s bottom line.
At that time, there were audience members who protested loudly. The scene was chaotic.
The person in charge knew very well that he had never given Xia Wanyuan an answer. Furthermore, because of the confidentiality, only a few people knew the setting of the questions, so the problem was not with the television station.
Seeing that the recording hall was in chaos, the in-charge thought of an idea in a moment of desperation.
There was a question bank for a poetry meet on national television. The owners.h.i.+p of this question bank belonged to national television stations, so no one could find the answer in advance.
Hence, after calming the audience, the television station changed the topic to the national television station"s question library. Everyone calmed down.
Of course, the scene of the commotion was not edited in the main film of the program. Hence, just as the audience was in an uproar, the question bank in the program suddenly changed. It connected to the question bank of the national television station and randomly chose the questions.
[ Let"s see how Xia Wanyuan fakes it this time. ]
[ So what does the video that was played on the watermelon table mean? Do you want us to compare how miserable Xia Wanyuan will be later? ]
[ It turns out that the Watermelon Platform isn"t supporting Xia Wanyuan but criticizing her? ]
Everyone was waiting to see Xia Wanyuan suffer a crus.h.i.+ng defeat.
However…
"A" "Correct"
"C" "Correct"
"B" "Correct"
........
........
The orderly reply was like a recorder, making everyone confused.
Xia Wanyuan stood calmly on the stage. Every time the question was read, she would quickly give an answer.
No matter how difficult the questions were, she appeared calm and composed. When everyone, who were originally very anxious, saw Xia Wanyuan stand calmly and smoothly answer questions one after another, they miraculously quietened down.
Until twenty questions were completed, Xia Wanyuan"s accuracy rate was 100%.
When the poetry segment ended, not only did the audience fall silent, but even the comments fell silent for a few seconds before intense discussion erupted.
[ This can"t be fake, right… It"s the national desk"s question bank. ]
[ If this could be faked, Xia Wanyuan wouldn"t be scolded and kicked out of the entertainment industry every day, right? ]
[ That"s amazing… Oh my G.o.d, there are twenty questions. I"ve never heard of many of them, so not only is she good at playing the zither, but she also knows so much about poetry? You told me that such a person is called an illiterate? Then what am I? ]
[ Ahhh, I declare Xia Wanyuan my G.o.ddess!! She"s really amazing!! She"s beautiful and cultured. Seriously. I"ve always heard all kinds of scandals about her in the past. I even scolded her behind her back. I was blind in the past! ]
Before the program ended, Xia Wanyuan"s performance had already been pushed onto the trending list.
Meanwhile, Xia Wanyuan received an unexpected invitation.
