Chapter 116: Embarrassed
What a... luxurious guy... Ogura Yuko shook her head, looking at Zhou Xiao in front of her with some helplessness.
If he had spent tens of millions on a meal, if it were someone else of the same age, Ogura Yuko would definitely laugh at him for being wasteful. But facing Zhou Xiao, she couldn't say anything, because every penny on his body was earned by himself, and Ogura Yuko knew that he would earn even more money in the future. Not to mention other things, just the song he wrote for SMAP alone would be enough to make him tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of yuan again.
In addition, everything Zhou Xiao did also moved her, although this feeling was only brought out by money. But being willing to spend so much money on herself, how could that not move her?
"Thank you." Yoko Ogura said looking at Xiaoxiao Zhou.
"Don't thank me, from now on if you want to eat it I'll find someone to make it for you, as for money, I still have some." said Zhou Xiao.
"Alright, let's watch the show! Let's watch the show!" Ogura Yuko said as she stood up, stretched her waist in a very cute manner, and then hopped and skipped to the sofa in front of Zhou Xiao's room.
"Come on, it's about to start!" The girl patted the seat next to her on the sofa.
"Oh, okay." Zhou Xiao walked over and sat down. After sitting down, the girl didn't hesitate to snuggle up close, sweetly hugging Zhou Xiao's arm, and the two started watching TV together.
They say they're watching TV, but the only one who's really interested in watching TV is probably Ogura Yuuko. With soft and fragrant things by his side, how can Zhou Xiao still have the heart to watch TV? Most of his thoughts are on the arm that's being hugged by the girl.
"This little warehouse's softness, when looking at photo albums in the past, felt extraordinary charm, but now after interacting with her, I feel she's really a very good girl... can't think about it anymore... nosebleed..."
When Zhou Xiao was indulging in her wild thoughts, the show had already started. The editors at the TV station were truly amazing. Sometimes, a segment that seemed dull during filming would be edited into something interesting, while an originally ordinary funny segment would be turned into a hilarious one by them. A skilled editor's salary was ridiculously high. Moreover, they never had to worry about not having work, as countless TV stations lined up to recruit them.
Zhou Xiao participated in this semester's final exam planning, although it was all his own work, but he didn't interfere with the editing. As for film, he has his own ideas, but when it comes to variety show editing, after watching a few minutes on site, Zhou Xiao wisely stopped talking. He saw with his own eyes how a scene that was originally a bit dull was made interesting by the TV station's editor after some clever cuts and rearrangements!
What qualifications does Zhou Xiao have to say his immature suggestions for this god-like pair of scissors?
After the program started for a few minutes, Zhou Xiao fell into a dilemma. On the one hand, there was such an adorable girl beside him. On the other hand, the editing of the TV show brought countless experiences, lessons and enlightenment to him, who had participated in the whole recording process, both of which were what he wanted.
"How annoying, I should have prepared a VCR." Zhou Xiao regretted it too late. Most households in Japan had a VCR to record TV programs. But Zhou Xiao didn't have this habit, so when she moved, she didn't even consider adding one.
Because of this, he had no choice but to focus more intently on the program.
As for Ogura Yuko, the interestingness of this episode far exceeded her imagination. Just by watching the beginning, she was already laughing so hard that she was bent forward and backward, with a level of focus much higher than Zhou Xiao's who had to watch with reluctance. And when Zhou Xiao appeared, Okamura Takashi on the stage said that this episode was produced by Zhou Xiao, Ogura Yuko turned her head to look at the boy next to her and asked: "Is this true?"
"That's for sure. Even the script for the second part of the answer was written by me." Zhou Xiao replied.
"Oh..." The girl turned back to continue watching TV.
This made Zhou Xiao, who was originally waiting for the girl's surprised expression, feel like she had been punched in the cotton: "Hey, hey, why don't you give me any reaction at all!"
Zhou Xiao asked.
"There's no way you'll get a good reaction now, even if you say you can win the Nobel Prize, I won't doubt it," said Ogura Yuko.
As for Ogura Yuko's reaction, Zhou Xiao didn't know what to say either. It seemed that he had already become an omnipotent existence in her heart.
When the program ended and entered the commercial, Ogura Yuko cutely stretched her waist: "Ah...... I'm so tired, today was so tiring from daytime, eating was also tiring, just laughed a lot more tiring."
"Shall we take a break and stop watching for now?" asked Zhou Xiao.
"That's not going to happen!" Ogawa Yūko refused matter-of-factly, but despite her refusal, the girl was really tired. She leaned softly against Zhou Xiao and watched TV, saying: "It's fine just leaning on you like this, I can rest for a bit."
However, this action was not good for Zhou Xiao. The girl who leaned over made Zhou Xiao excited again. One of his hands sneaked from behind Suzaku Minori's back and gently wrapped around the girl's waist.
Zhou Xiao was busy, on the one hand, he had to watch the program on TV and analyze the various effects cut out by editor Fu, while on the other hand, the girl beside him also consumed a lot of his mind.
Before long, the advertisement was inserted again, and Zhou Xiao once again put all his attention on the girl beside him...
Watch TV for a while, watch girls for a while, watch girls for a while... watch TV for a while...
The program on TV has finally entered the examination stage, and various plans in the exam are also very interesting. Zhou Xiao "borrowed" many from his previous life, not just small segments in the final exam, these small segments were put together to form a very good-looking program. Moreover, Zhou Xiao was also very skilled when it came to sports comedy sketches, such as three-stroke silly, linked roasting, and unexpected surprises, all of which he incorporated into the program. He himself was also working hard to cooperate with and play the role of newcomer in the program.
The test scores are of course good and bad, and as a top student at Japan's Foreign Language University, Kōra Jingzi got quite good results in the first round of exams. However, this time, as a gimmick, Zhōu Xiǎo also invited two people with the same academic background, or even better schools than Kōra Jingzi, to target her. Or perhaps it can't be said that way, and instead, it should be said that Kōra Jingzi from the program team is targeting these "transfer students".
As for the last one, the result is even more exciting. There are also Zhou Xiao's specially invited stupid censors who ambush the program team's stupid people in order to get this stupid title from him. Don't think that it's just a simple stupid person, being crowned as a stupid person in such a famous program, that can be remembered by all of Japan, and instantly receive countless program invitations!
Zhou Xiao was a university student in his previous life, but that doesn't mean he can definitely get first place on this Japanese TV show. In fact, his grades were not great, unfortunately, Zhou Xiao didn't understand Japanese language and social studies very well, but English and math were his strong points, and he got high scores for those subjects. Plus, when answering questions, he had to prepare some silly answers that would get him teased by others. As a result, Zhou Xiao only got an average score, while the last place was still occupied by the super idiot Hamaguchi Yutori.
This night's show was not only watched by Ogura Yuko, but also many people who usually watch TV during dinner. Moreover, this episode had countless highlights and the initial promotion was very effective. As a result of these factors, this two-and-a-half-hour variety show achieved a viewership rating of 24.6%! What does this number mean? It means that out of Japan's population of 130 million people, approximately 30 million people watched this episode's year-end exam project on TV!
At the end of 2000, although double-digit ratings were not uncommon, such a high rating still made the program team and TV station ecstatic. After receiving the ratings, the first thing Takashi Okamura of the 99 combination did was to call Zhou Xiao and invite him to attend the program team's celebration party. A 25% rating is definitely something worth celebrating for the entire production team.
ps:
Let me tell you about the plot of these chapters. The reason why there are so many plots is that the protagonist and Ogura Yuko's progress was originally far more than this. The original setting of this book would have been quite evil here, and it's a kind of unique evil rather than directly shooting from the hip, but due to special circumstances, I couldn't help but delete those scenes and only leave these plots behind, so it looks a bit stiff, sorry about that.
Also thanks to Yu Shu's reward, I will explode after adjusting the plot recently.
