Chapter 1: Participate in the comedy variety show "Comedy Contest"! Gain the skill of photographic memory!
Ye Xuan slowly opened his eyes, and everything around him seemed not to belong to the world he was familiar with.

At this moment, he was in a spacious room with countless staff members moving around.

Some of them were talking to each other while holding walkie-talkies, while others were walking hurriedly with a stack of papers in their hands.

[What's going on? Am I not at home? ]

【How did I suddenly come to a strange place? 】

"Stage A is ready and the contestants are in place."

"Stage B is over, we can start now."

The man with the walkie-talkie passed by him.

He heard some unfamiliar words from these people.

Is this a show? Why am I here?
Ye Xuan looked around in confusion, a little dazed.

Then a memory came into his mind that did not belong to him.

He covered his head, frowned and gritted his teeth in pain.

It turns out that he traveled through time.

Traveled through time and space to a person with the same name and surname.

The original owner was also called Ye Xuan, and he was a graduate of the Academy of Drama.

This graduation happened to coincide with a variety show called "Comedy Competition" that was recruiting contestants. The original owner had neither resources nor connections in the entertainment industry.

If he wants to continue working in the entertainment industry when he has nothing, it is undoubtedly most appropriate for him to show his talent by participating in variety shows.

Otherwise, he can only play extras and supporting roles in low-end crews, starting from zero step by step, and whether he can succeed depends entirely on luck.

So here he is.

But the original owner died suddenly at the scene for unknown reasons, and the one participating in the competition on his behalf is Ye Xuan who traveled through time.

Ye Xuan, who knows nothing about acting and even less about comedy.

If he were allowed to play, he probably wouldn't be able to fulfill the original owner's wish to come to the fore.

"Ye Xuan? What are you doing? You're about to go on stage."

A sweet female voice came from behind him and patted his shoulder gently.

Ye Xuan turned his head and saw an extremely beautiful woman.

Her big, twinkling eyes, slender and well-shaped figure, and a scholarly and cool temperament all highlight her beauty.

Even without makeup, you can see her beauty, it's hard to imagine how much more beautiful she would be with makeup on.

"Ouyang Mi?"

Ye Xuan recalled the information of this person from his mind.

This is his college classmate Ouyang Mi, a tough and serious woman.

The two had worked together on some campus dramas and gradually became friends during the collaboration process.

The original owner seemed to have some affection for Ouyang Mi, but Ouyang Mi only regarded the original owner as a friend. Because of this unknown feeling, the original owner occasionally showed some inferiority and cowardice in front of Ouyang Mi.

However, whenever the original owner had any good things, he would always think of bringing Ouyang Mi with him, and Ouyang Mi never looked down on him because of his inferiority and cowardice.

She would even take care of him sincerely and was like an angel to the original owner.

The reason why he participated in the "Comedy Competition" this time was because he thought of Ouyang Mi, who was also a graduate and urgently needed a job. In addition, the original owner had some inferiority complex and was still a little afraid to participate in the competition alone, so he invited Ouyang Mi to participate together.

Not only that, he also invited Tian Yu, a senior who usually took care of them in school and graduated two years ago, to help.

With these two people around, the original owner had more confidence in facing the well-known judges, and he made a lot of preparations for this competition.

It's a pity that he died here inexplicably before he could show it. "Is the game about to start?"

Ye Xuan concealed his confused emotions, fearing that his old friend would see through him and discover that the Ye Xuan in front of her had become a different person.

However, Ouyang Mi was staring at the big screen in the room nervously and didn't pay much attention to his expression, so naturally she couldn't see his confusion and strangeness.

"Yes, the judges this time are all big names in the comedy industry. Can we really be chosen?"

Ouyang Mi looked at the judges' panel on the big screen in the room with some confusion, and she clenched her hands nervously.

This competition is also a very important opportunity for her.

It is generally difficult for students graduating from drama academies to find jobs, unless they have good looks and a lot of luck. Otherwise, most of them end up being mediocre or even change careers after graduation.

She is passionate about acting and doesn't want to change her career, nor does she want to be like everyone else.

"Ye Xuan, Ouyang Mi, you are here."

A man came running over from the side. He looked honest and ordinary, but when he spoke, there was an inexplicable sense of humor.

"Brother Tian Yu!"

Ouyang Mi looked at him happily and waved to him.

Then he gave way to Ye Xuan, wanting Ye Xuan to say hello as well.

"Brother Tian Yu."

Ye Xuan smiled and waved at him.

He was still sorting out his memories. If he remembered correctly, this competition was an elimination system.

Tian Yu originally wanted to catch up with the two of them. They were players in the same group, and they wanted to discuss the upcoming competition. Unexpectedly, the host on the front of the screen had already started introducing the competition.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the comedy competition. I am your host, Xiao Sa!"

"This is a large-scale variety show held to select outstanding comedians. Please welcome our three judges with warm applause - Zhou Xingxing! Shen Teng! Chen Sicheng!"

There was warm applause from the big screen.

The three of them stopped talking and looked at the display screen in unison.

Zhou Xingxing, Shen Teng and Chen Sicheng, who are all well-known in the industry, walked over to the applause of the crowd and sat on their own judges' seats.

Ye Xuan observed the scene calmly and thought silently.

Except for Shen Teng, the rest of these people are very rude in their words.

If I perform poorly in the competition later, I will definitely be dissed.

Being dissed is a small matter, but being embarrassed when the whole country sees it is a big deal.

He cannot quit the game at this time. He must try to perform better later, or at least not lose too badly and humiliatingly!
"This is a competition that is about honor and fighting. I believe everyone already knows the rules of the competition. The first game is a knockout round where 100 players will be selected into 64. We will eliminate more than 30 groups of players."

"The competition will be conducted in the form of live broadcast. After the judges confirm the theme of the competition, the contestants will prepare and perform in their own rooms. The director's room will switch the situation of each live broadcast room on the big screen, and the judges can also use the display in front of them to watch the room they are interested in separately."

“It will now be up to our three judges to determine the first theme of the competition, and it will be up to our contestants to create around the theme.”

Ye Xuan pursed his lips, and kept searching his mind for the various jokes and skits that the original owner had learned for the competition, trying to make up for it temporarily. However, his memory was damaged and fragmented, and the jokes he had originally learned could not support a competition at all.

He had read some comedy-related works and jokes before he traveled through time, but he never took them seriously and could not remember them at all now!
What should I do? Is it possible that I can only go up and embarrass myself?

At this moment, an electronic sound flashed through his mind.

"Ding--"

"Congratulations to the host for awakening the 'Comedy Master System'. Collect happiness points for this system, which can be exchanged for corresponding rewards from the system."

"Now distributing the newbie gift pack - Photographic Memory, please check it out!"
