Chapter 36 - I'll Do It Myself!
Chapter 36: I’ll Do It Myself!
“Director asked me to write a note to the client, wishing him a happy birthday,” Hao Yue said.
Yang Fan blinked: “That’s simple. How did you manage to get scolded?”
“I don’t know,” Hao Yue continued innocently.
Yang Fan: “…”
“Then tell me how you wrote it,” Yang Fan said.
“I just wrote a note saying, ‘Happy Birthday!'” Hao Yue said innocently.
Yang Fan: “No problem there. Why would you get scolded?”
“Wait, no. Tell me, who did you write to? Who did you wish a happy birthday to?” Yang Fan suddenly realized something and hurriedly asked.
“I wished Zhang Tiaozi (The problem is Zhang Tiaozi literally means “Zhang Note,” which makes no sense in this context) a happy birthday!” Hao Yue said in her innocent, naive voice.
Yang Fan almost spat out a mouthful of blood!
*Of course, it had to be this, of course!*
Yang Fan sat on the stool, not saying a word, quietly contemplating life.
Hao Yue worriedly poked Yang Fan’s arm and asked with a pure expression, “Sir, did I do something wrong?”
“No, no, you didn’t. It must be me who did something wrong. Otherwise, why would the director assign you to me?” Yang Fan’s voice was full of despair.
This apprentice, he really couldn’t handle her!
The private messages on Mango Radio’s official WeChat backend were already exploding.
“Wow, what kind of magical show is this? I’ve been listening to the radio every day, but I never noticed this before.”
“Oh my god, this is like a two-person comedy act! The way they deliver the punchlines is just perfect, absolutely perfect!”
“Don’t hold these kids back, send them to De Yun She (a famous comedy club) right away!”
“I’m going to die laughing in this talk show.”
“I originally came here to criticize Yang Fan’s talk show, but after listening for a while, I suddenly became a fan. What should I do?”
“I’m from Lin Hai’s family, but, but now I feel like switching sides!”
“Why do I feel like Yang Fan’s talk show is more interesting than Lin Hai’s hotline?”
“I just want to know, did the things Yang Fan and Hao Yue talk about really happen?”
In Yang Fan’s rent collection group.
Wu Jing marveled, “Yang Fan’s emotional intelligence is really something. In the talk show, he directly addressed Hao Yue’s previous behavior with a positive response.”
“But this response wasn’t an outright apology. Instead, he used high emotional intelligence to make everyone laugh it off.”
“Thus achieving the goal of moving on!”
“This intelligence, this emotional intelligence, he’s really suited for the entertainment industry,” Hu Ge couldn’t help but praise.
In the entertainment industry, having just acting skills and looks isn’t enough to make it big. You also need super high emotional intelligence.
Otherwise, good opportunities will never come your way!
And your competitors can easily manipulate you.
For an artist, one character collapse is enough to ruin your entire career.
And maintaining a persona isn’t something that can be done solely by your management company and PR team.
You, as the artist, must possess strong on-the-spot adaptability.
Current competitors, paparazzi, and reporters are all very smart. They won’t easily confront your management company or PR team head-on.
They’ll wait until you’re alone, then interview you, secretly film you, and if you don’t handle it well, it’s enough to ruin your reputation!
Super strong on-the-spot adaptability, super high intelligence and emotional intelligence—these are essential skills for an actor.
Many actors have the talent and the looks, but they just don’t make it big. Why?
Simply put, isn’t it because their emotional intelligence isn’t up to par?
People with low emotional intelligence, on one hand, can’t grab good opportunities, and on the other, don’t know how to protect themselves.
Such people need to put in much, much more effort than those with high emotional intelligence to succeed!
“When is it our turn to go on? I’ve been holding the phone for so long, the director keeps telling me to wait. My arm is getting sore!” Hu Ge complained.
“Hu Ge, you’re so shameless, you started calling so early?” Wu Jing panicked and quickly dialed the external line.
But the line was occupied by Hu Ge, so Wu Jing couldn’t get through.
The others were furious but had no choice.
They could only keep an eye on Yang Fan’s talk show, ensuring they’d call in as soon as Hu Ge finished.
Yang Fan’s talk show continued, with Yang Fan and Hao Yue playing off each other, taking the art of talk shows to the extreme.
The audience was in stitches, many laughing so hard they were in tears.
The first half soon ended.
After a ten-minute ad break, the second half began.
“Now, let’s connect with a listener outside. I wonder if this first call is from a new friend or an old one!”
“Listener with the number ending in 4343, hello, your call has been successfully connected to the live broadcast. Do you have any questions you’d like to ask me?” Yang Fan’s talk show was different from Shi Lei’s music show.
In Shi Lei’s show’s second half, listeners could request songs live.
But in Yang Fan’s talk show, the second half was about answering bizarre questions from listeners on the spot!
It was all about randomness and excitement!
Hu Ge was calling a radio show for the first time and was a bit confused: “Are you the director or the host? Did my call get through?”
“Listener with the number ending in 4343, hello, I’m the host Yang Fan. Your call has been connected to the live broadcast. Do you have any questions you’d like to ask me?” Hearing the familiar voice, Yang Fan smiled sincerely.
He didn’t expect the first caller to be Hu Ge.
“Ah, it’s connected. So now, can I ask any question I want?” Hu Ge asked with a sly smile.
“Yes, every listener who successfully connects can ask any one question,” Yang Fan replied with a smile.
Hu Ge frowned slightly. Only one question? In that case: “Host, let me tell you a joke.”
“Sure,” Yang Fan said, feeling a bit wary. Would Hu Ge really be this kind? He wasn’t so sure.
“Once there was a fool. No matter what anyone said to him, he would always say ‘no.’ Have you heard this joke before?” Hu Ge asked with a big smile, planning to play a small, harmless trick on Yang Fan.
Yang Fan wasn’t flustered at all. With his years of hosting experience, he wasn’t afraid of this.
“Didn’t you tell me this joke before?” Yang Fan instantly countered.
Hu Ge was stunned for a moment, reflexively replying, “No, I didn’t!”
Hu Ge: “…”
Wait, he seemed to have fallen into a trap!
Yang Fan pressed the laughter button and said cheerfully to Hu Ge, “Thank you for calling, listener. Goodbye!”
Hu Ge was completely dumbfounded. That, that was it? Wasn’t it, wasn’t it a bit… Too fast?
“Hahaha, Hu Ge, you went too easy on him! Just now you were praising Yang Fan so much, but when it was your turn, you totally went soft!” Wu Jing couldn’t believe it and criticized Hu Ge in the rent collection group.
Hu Ge’s mouth twitched: “If you’re so good, you try!”
“I’ll give it a shot!” Wu Jing said excitedly.
“Listener with the number ending in 1245, hello, your call has been connected to the live broadcast. Do you have any questions you’d like to ask me?” Yang Fan answered the new call.
