The host reluctantly took the microphone.
“Let’s quickly finish this,” he said.
He looked at Chen Feng beside him and casually asked, “Chen Feng, on behalf of all the viewers, I have a question. As an actor, how did you… how did you come to research such a mathematical conjecture?”
“I… actually didn’t research it,” Chen Feng said slowly, organizing his words.
“I just happened to be browsing online one time, and when I was bored, I saw a post about the Collats conjecture, so I… studied it a bit.”
“Studied it a bit?” The host’s face fell.
“Yes, studied it a bit.”
“Alright.” The host was at a loss for words.
You just casually surfed the internet, studied the Collats conjecture a bit, and it actually led to a professor from Qingbei University’s mathematics department calling you personally.
And he said you had made a discovery.
So, you played an idiot, but you’re a true genius, aren’t you?
Forget it!
Let’s stop here.
He really couldn’t host happily anymore.
If he asked any more questions, he’d really have to prostrate himself before him.
The host decisively pushed the live broadcast forward, directly entering the next segment: the online popularity vote began.
…
On the live streaming platform:
“Feng Ge is a true big shot, I prostrate myself.”
“A good actor who doesn’t research mathematics isn’t a good idol. I’ve decided to become a fan of Feng Ge. I admire him so much.”
“I’m still confused. Is his derivation of that thing real or fake?”
“I deeply suspect it’s a gag arranged by the production team.”
“Nonsense. Does the production team dare to use Qingbei University as a gag? Do they want to die faster?”
“Vote, vote! My Feng Ge is definitely first.”
“Feng Ge is the best-looking, no arguments accepted.”
“I have an objection. Even if Chen Feng is truly a genius, did he demonstrate a genius-level idiocy in his acting? It doesn’t seem so, does he?”
“Everyone, come and watch! The person upstairs is showing off their idiocy again.”
…
As soon as the popularity vote began, Chen Feng’s popularity rapidly climbed.
He quickly surpassed Li Han and Xu Yao at an astonishing speed, ultimately successfully topping the popularity chart.
He even surpassed the second and third place by a large margin.
With such results, even hiring a click farm wouldn’t be able to achieve it; he surpassed them by too much.
Thus, at the live broadcast venue, the final results were out, and Chen Feng deservedly became the overall champion of the Yan Jing division.
The venue erupted in cheers.
Everyone felt he was worthy of the title.
Chen Feng had too many surprises.
Every performance brought a little unexpected twist, making people feel like watching his performances was always about anticipating surprises.
And Chen Feng never disappointed.
Surprises kept coming.
Finally, the production team presented him with the ‘New Entertainment King Best Newcomer Show’ division champion trophy.
Second-place Xu Yao and third-place Li Han also received their top-three awards.
Due to time constraints, the final awards ceremony was cut short and ended hastily.
The host concluded by previewing the special program for New Year's Day this year.
The What is an Actor production team would gather the champions from the ten major divisions across the country during New Year's Day to create an exciting program for all viewers.
Stay tuned.
With that, the live broadcast officially concluded.
…
Backstage.
Rosa was ecstatic with excitement, hugging Chen Feng, jumping and laughing.
It was clear she was genuinely happy for Chen Feng.
However, Chen Feng was somewhat surprised.
Because Hua Zai had left.
After he had completed all the procedures with the production team, he realized that Hua Zai had quietly departed.
Chen Feng quickly made a call.
On the phone, Hua Zai frankly admitted that he had been entrusted by someone to come to the mainland to be a supporting guest for Chen Feng.
Now that Chen Feng had successfully won the championship, his mission was complete.
So he left first.
Mainly, his schedule was too packed, and he really had no choice.
On the phone, Hua Zai also invited Chen Feng to visit Hong Kong when he had time.
He would introduce Xing Ye to him then.
At the same time, the gold-medal producer Xu Xianglin also asked Hua Zai to convey a message: he also had an idea and hoped to collaborate with Chen Feng once.
He would custom-make a drama for him.
Even Wang Jing revealed his desire to collaborate.
In short, they would meet again soon.
He told Chen Feng not to mind his unannounced departure that night.
No choice!
Chen Feng could only let out a long sigh.
Who on earth had managed to invite Hua Zai to be his supporting guest? This matter had actually become an unsolved mystery.
Oh well!
Since it was already like this, he might as well let it go.
After arranging a time to meet with Hua Zai, Chen Feng hung up the phone.
On the other side, Rosa also called Tong Gege to ask for the night off.
She wanted to celebrate with Chen Feng.
So, the two of them walked out of the back door of the Yan Jing Grand Theater, feeling light-hearted.
Rosa was driving.
A rather unique pink Beetle.
But it wasn't hers; it was Tong Gege’s.
For some reason, Tong Gege was unusually generous tonight, lending her car to Rosa.
After getting in the car, Rosa casually asked, “Chen Feng, how do you want to party tonight? I’ll accompany you, all night long. Drinking, KTV, movies—how do you want to celebrate?”
“You’ll accompany me all night?” Chen Feng looked at her in surprise.
“Hmm, is that okay?” Rosa smiled like a little fox spirit.
All her thoughts were written on her face.
Chen Feng also smiled, “I don’t care. But you’d better think it through, accompany me for one whole night? You can’t regret it later, okay?”
“I won’t.” Rosa’s cheeks flushed slightly, and she nodded with great certainty, “Tonight, I will definitely celebrate with you.”
“Alright then.”
Why hesitate over something so simple?
He directly fastened his seatbelt and lazily said, “Then let’s drink first, then go to KTV, and finally watch a late-night movie.”
“Yay!” Rosa exclaimed excitedly, then skillfully started the car, pressed the accelerator, and quickly sped onto the main street.
Chen Feng’s performance today had filled her with a sense of anticipation.
So, her love-struck brain took over.
…
Half an hour later, the two arrived downstairs at a high-end restaurant.
To eat Western food.
They would splurge tonight.
Having officially won the overall championship of the Yan Jing division, Chen Feng also felt a sense of relief.
With his reputation established, he wouldn't lack resources in the future.
So he was happy tonight.
He just wanted to eat some filet mignon or something.
And then a bottle of '82 Lafite, whether it was real or not.
Just to relax.
Anyway, he didn't need to hold back in front of Rosa.
In her impression, he should be a Landlord, right?
Eating something good wouldn't be a problem.
So, the two enjoyed a romantic candlelight dinner.
After dinner, they found a luxurious KTV to let loose.
It was just about howling.
Chen Feng was decent; after all, he graduated from a professional film academy, so he had some special skills.
But Rosa was truly tone-deaf.
This girl… she was something else.
Playful and lively, straightforward, tone-deaf, carefree, and at the same time, passionate and uninhibited in her feelings.
Chen Feng liked that style.
Simple!
Pure!
The two of them partied wildly until 11:30 PM, then reluctantly left the KTV and found a nearby cinema.
To watch a midnight show.
Rosa had an idea and directly bought tickets for a high-end VIP screening room.
There were only sixteen seats in total.
Sixteen beds.
You could lie on the bed and watch a movie.
The conditions were very high-end.
The atmosphere was also very ambiguous.
When the two entered the screening room, all the other seats were already occupied.
All by couples.
And, as expected, they were all entwined with each other, completely disregarding others’ gazes.
So when Chen Feng and Rosa, wearing hats and masks, quietly arrived at their seats, the others just glanced at them and then looked away.
Here, everyone was doing their own thing.
Who cared about whom?
And when Chen Feng saw the bed in front of him, he reached out and gently put his arm around Rosa’s slender waist, which was full of youthful vitality.
