Chapter 2854: One Arrow and Three Eagles
Chapter 2854: One Arrow and Three Eagles
Soon, the production crew brought out the prepared dinner and placed it on the coffee table in the center of the living room.
Everyone found a place to sit. Some chose to sit on the soft sofa, while others simply relaxed on the comfortable carpet, creating a casual and warm atmosphere.
The television screen in front of me lit up and began playing the first episode of the variety show, which had already been edited.
It was the first time Charlene had seen herself on television, and she was inevitably a little nervous and curious, but even more worried that she would not perform well.
She stared intently at the screen, even holding her breath, afraid of missing any detail.
The video played smoothly, accompanied by upbeat background music and special effects. Unexpectedly, the first shot was of Lee Ji-eun.
The moment Lee Ji-eun appeared, the scene fell into a brief, almost eerie silence, as if the air itself had frozen for a few seconds.
Charlene was even a little surprised.
I originally thought the production team would cut all her scenes out.
But unexpectedly, it was not only preserved, but also placed in such a prominent position at the beginning.
She couldn't help but mutter to herself, "They didn't cut it... What kind of move is this?"
Emily was also puzzled and whispered, "The production team is really brave! They're keeping this going, aren't they afraid of being criticized?"
Charlene responded in a low voice, her tone carrying a hint of understanding, "Obviously they're not afraid. If they were really worried about public opinion, why would they have released it?"
She paused, then added thoughtfully, "However, I always feel that the production team might have their own reasons for doing this."
But I'm not sure, let's wait and see!
Emily nodded, "Mmm..."
As the program progresses, the camera gradually transitions from the scene of their first meeting at the airport to the scene after they board the plane.
Everyone could clearly see that Lee Ji-eun approached Shi Ye several times, seemingly making friendly conversations, but in reality, she was trying to push Xia Lin away from Shi Ye each time.
Emily, who has always been straightforward, couldn't help but frown when she saw this and asked Charlene directly, "Seriously, how did you manage to put up with this?"
If it were me, I probably would have slapped him already.
Charlene was speechless for a moment, and could only smile awkwardly, not knowing how to respond.
Emily remained silent towards Charlene, seemingly unconcerned, and continued staring at the screen.
As for the others, they all showed indescribable expressions. Some frowned, some shook their heads, clearly feeling very uncomfortable with Lee Ji-eun's behavior.
Her "green tea" aura, which was immediately apparent, coupled with her undisguised intention to get close to Shi Ye, practically made her "scheming" written all over her face.
What's even more offensive is that she pretends to be innocent and naive. This hypocritical and pretentious attitude is really disgusting!
Leondo suddenly spoke up, reminding everyone, "Don't just look at this! Start eating!"
"Eat as much as you can now! You might not be able to eat later."
This statement, at first glance, seems to be just a matter of concern, but in reality, it has a hidden meaning and a deeper implication.
Everyone present was shrewd and naturally understood what was going on.
Emily chimed in, "Yes, yes, eat more!"
……
Many netizens are watching online, and they've already started cursing.
"No, why didn't the production team cut this person out? Why did they deliberately annoy the audience?"
"It is said that the woman caused trouble, resulting in the production team's footage being disjointed and unable to fill a whole episode, so only a portion of it could be kept."
"Guys, if anyone's in a bad mood today, here's a perfect punching bag! Just vent your frustrations on them! Don't hold back, everyone!"
"When I watched the live stream, I didn't think she was so disgusting. How come she looks so repulsive after the editing?"
"It's probably because when you're live streaming, you don't know what the person looks like. Once their true colors are revealed, you naturally find them unpleasant to look at."
"Good, good, it's good to release him. I also want to know how many other crazy things this person does when he's not streaming!"
"If it's this disgusting on camera, it must be even worse in places we can't see!"
Because of its controversy and topicality, the ratings for the first episode of the show immediately soared to a high point, almost reaching the peak of its time slot.
Moreover, online discussions continued to rise, with viewers debating Lee Ji-eun's performance and various viewpoints clashing fiercely, causing the show's attention and influence to spread rapidly.
……
The guests, unaware of what was happening online, were genuinely focused on eating.
However, they were somewhat aware of the production team's intentions.
In order to boost ratings and generate buzz, Lee Ji-eun was deliberately shown.
After all, they spent money to hire people and expended so much manpower to film her. Now, to have her "appear" on the show and be criticized is ridiculous.
This is simply killing three birds with one stone.
It not only attracts viewers' attention but also saves on publicity costs, and it can also maintain the show's popularity by leveraging controversy. This is a very clever strategy.
Because of Lee Ji-eun, the focus of the entire show shifted towards her and Shino's groups.
In contrast, the performance of the other groups was rather average.
However, this shift in attention was not due to editing; everyone knew this in their hearts, so they didn't show much concern.
Most importantly, everyone was also watching with a sense of schadenfreude, wanting to see just how many more "outrageous" things Lee Ji-eun could do.
Soon, after the meal, Lee Ji-eun's antics went far beyond what had been seen before.
For example, during the island competition segment, in order to take a shortcut, she pretended to accidentally trigger a mission mechanism. Her exaggerated and stiff acting was simply hilarious.
The most classic scene is when she framed someone. In the close-up shots, it is very clear that Lee Ji-eun gave Nika a meaningful look.
Only then did he engage in a series of actions, including eating wild fruit, deliberately getting his clothes dirty, and using the excuse of going to the stream to clean them.
As for later, in order to win, she resorted to any means necessary, having someone secretly tamper with Shi Ye's car.
This kind of behavior, which has no bottom line and disregards the safety of others, is far more heinous than ordinary people can imagine, and is simply disgusting.
In short, throughout the entire event, every guest displayed strong aversion and deep disgust on their faces.
It's perfectly acceptable to have some harmless little thoughts when you like someone, but that must be based on the premise that it doesn't harm others.
This woman has already crossed basic moral boundaries. Her methods are despicable, and she completely disregards Shi Ye's safety, which is truly infuriating.
