Drama Queen Reborn as a Top Student!-Chapter 970 - 474: Foolish

The Brainstorm show premiered as scheduled.

Thanks to the fame of Rong Xianning and Shen You’an, combined with the thrilling competition format and excellent production, the first episode achieved a huge ratings explosion, sparking massive discussions online.

Especially the segment where team members were selected, Rong Xianning straightforwardly choosing to team up with Shen You’an almost gave the Lemons a heart attack. The CP fans saw hope and were intensely shipping them.

Apart from traffic fans and variety show enthusiasts in the entertainment circle, it also attracted numerous middle-aged and elderly viewers, achieving a full-fledged circle breakthrough.

The first episode was so exciting. In the group division contest, Shen You’an’s group members cooperated seamlessly, taking the lead and showcasing the cleverness, alertness, and sense of responsibility of modern teenagers. Especially Shen You’an, Rong Xianning, and Liu Runxi, who performed exceptionally in the quick-answer contest, almost stole the show in the first episode, leaving other contestants invisible.

After the broadcast, not only did the ratings break records, but the trending searches exploded one after another.

The names of Rong Xianning and Shen You’an rotated on trending searches.

#Rong Xianning secretly looking at Shen You’an again

#Shen You’an scholar god’s confidence

#Shen You’an’s group won first place

The trending searches dominated the entire night, their names never left, with the reading of trending terms surpassing a billion and the discussion volumes reaching tens of millions, setting a new record for the platform, with terrifying heat.

This is merely a quiz show, with not much interaction between the two, yet the popularity exploded. Not to mention the upcoming Travelogue, where the two will eat, live, and travel together, showing every detail of their daily interactions, an absolute paradise for CP fans who are already gearing up to scrutinize every frame.

The director of Travelogue, Lu Hao, was so happy he lost his sense of direction. The more popular the CP gets, the more beneficial it is for the show. Fans leave comments "threatening" him to edit well and not cut even a second of their scenes together, ready to pay for it since fans have money to spend.

Under the enormous celebrity aura of Rong Xianning and Shen You’an, others were overshadowed, but Liu Runxi still managed to make his presence felt with his outstanding appearance and calm demeanor in the few shots he got.

——Am I the only one who thinks this guy surnamed Liu is handsome? Standing next to Rong Xianning, he’s not inferior at all. He’s so calm when answering, absolutely stunning.

——He looks perfect with Shen You’an, they look like a couple, and during the group competition, did no one notice a detail? Shen You’an gave a look, and only Liu Runxi reacted. I declare, he’s the one most in tune with Shen You’an.

——Could someone help me out, I need all the info on this guy surnamed Liu in a minute.

Liu Runxi also gained online popularity and presence, not to mention Gu Bichen.

He had the most camera time, even more than Shen You’an and Rong Xianning, yet his performance was unsatisfactory. Keen-eyed viewers noticed he couldn’t answer questions he buzzed in for, getting help from his team members. Although the program editors tried to hide it, too much camera time only exposed him more, truly lifting a stone to drop on his own feet.

——This is ridiculous, which royal family does this guy Gu belong to? They’re constantly promoting him, with two-thirds of the footage on him. If he performed excellently, I wouldn’t mind, but his performance was too poor, stammering and unsolved answers, relying on his teammates to cheat his way through. Does the show think the audience is dumb? PS: That guy surnamed Leng is so handsome and low-key, the whole group’s spotlight got stolen by that Gu guy, yet he still smiles pleasantly, looks like he has a good personality.

——I’ve noticed too, isn’t this misleading the youth nationwide? The program didn’t even cut it. How much do they treasure Gu Bichen’s shots, don’t want to cut a single frame, served him right.

——Shen You’an and Rong Xianning combined have fewer shots than Gu Bichen, yet their performance was splendid, constantly trending, overwhelming in topics. No matter the push, the one surnamed Gu lacks the potential for fame. The program should let go of this idea and focus on editing more footage of Shen You’an and Rong Xianning, as they’re the show’s rating guarantee, don’t miss the watermelon for the sesame seeds.

——Don’t forget he’s a Gu, the producer of the program’s also a Gu, it’s all in the family, they say don’t let fertile water flow to outsiders, ha, the main station too, hopeless.

——Oh, it’s the Gu family, now I get it, the royal of the royals, we commoners are not fit to comment.

——Is it the Gu family I’m thinking of? Oh my god.

——Heard he’s the heir of the Gu family, such poor performance, has the Gu family fallen to this? Is this the heir’s performance?

——So it’s De Ren’s Crown Prince, only heard of him before, first time seeing him in person, amidst a group of beauties he’s really not remarkable, didn’t inherit the Gu family’s high IQ genes, with such an heir, De Ren’s future is worrisome.

After the show aired, while Shen You’an and Rong Xianning perfectly showcased their strengths, further elevating their popularity, Liu Runxi, Leng Yunyang, and Gao Yuyue also received varying degrees of praise for their superb appearance and quick reactions. However, Gu Bichen stood as a complete contrast.

The audience, mostly ordinary people, naturally preferred the underdog students who climbed up with their talent, like Shen You’an and Rong Xianning. Shen You’an comes from a small town and is an orphan of a martyr, while Rong Xianning has just gone through a massive online bullying storm and has to work for a decade to repay the gambling debts of a deadbeat father, such miserable backgrounds.

Despite such miserable backgrounds, they refused to succumb to fate, fighting hard to stand out, were top scorers in the high school entrance exams, entered the top universities for further study, and also won first place in the program with their strength.

In contrast, Gu Bichen enjoyed all the advantages of his background, received the most camera time on the show, yet his performance was disappointing, not matching his position, arousing public indignation, and his reputation plummeted overnight, even affecting the reputation of the program and the Gu family.

The day after the program aired was the recording of the third episode.

Gu Bichen was the last to arrive. When he appeared, almost everyone looked at him, with expressions carrying an indescribable meaning, definitely not kind.

Gu Bichen hadn’t slept all night, with heavy dark circles, his complexion gloomy.

Staff called him to make up, and in a separate dressing room, he met Gu Rui whose expression was even gloomier than his.

"Young master, I didn’t expect the public opinion to be so unfavorable to you. Those netizens are so tactless, knowing nothing and jumping around. Rest assured, in the next episode I’ll cut all of Shen You’an’s and Rong Xianning’s footage. Who told them to steal all your spotlight?"

Gu Bichen glanced at him coldly, "Foolish."
