Chapter 108 Cao Jin Goes Mad! "Roast" Takes the Variety Show World by Storm!
With the full support of Tanglou, the "The Big Band" project team was officially launched.
After "The Big Band" got on track, "Sheep Without a Shepherd" was completed and entered post-production.
With the completion of filming "Sheep Without a Shepherd," Tang Lou had more energy to start promoting the second season of "Roast Conference."
When Cao Jin, the main guest of this episode, appeared, some viewers who had been looking forward to it for a long time were initially disappointed and confused.
"We've been waiting for this second episode of 'Roast!' for so long, and all we get is Cao Jin?"
"I'm a little disappointed, but thankfully Qin Hao joined us."
"The second episode wasn't as good as the first!"
...
Just when there were some criticisms from the outside world about Cao Jin being the main guest, Deyun Club dropped a bombshell.
After Guo Gang publicly released the Deyun Society's family tree, he responded to the removal of Cao Jin and He Wei from the list, and accused the two of "deceiving heaven and ancestors and violating human ethics"!
This news caused an uproar on Weibo.
Following Guo Gang's outburst, a large number of viewers and Deyun Club fans began to criticize and ridicule Cao Jin's character.
In China, the relationship between master and disciple is one of great taboo regarding betraying one's master and ancestors.
Guo Gang is a master in the world of crosstalk, and he has a lot of supporters. As a result, Cao Jin became a pariah overnight.
A few days later, Cao Jin made a stunning debut, showing no sign of backing down and choosing to confront the issue head-on.
On Weibo, Cao Jinfa published a famous 7000-word article accusing Guo Gang of multiple misconducts.
The first point is economic exploitation.
Cao Jin claimed that when he became an apprentice, he had to pay tuition every year, as well as 500 yuan per month for meals and 500 yuan per month for living expenses.
In addition, he also accused Guo Gang of withholding his film salary.
Secondly, this is also a very advantageous counterattack.
That was in 2006, when Guo Gang forced Cao Jin to withdraw from the CCTV crosstalk competition finals, which enraged his mentor Hou Yaowen.
The third point is to criticize Guo Gang for manipulating public opinion.
Guo Gang is accused of repeatedly attacking members who left Deyun Club on Weibo and forcing his team to verbally abuse fellow performers (such as Jiang Ribi).
After Cao Jin posted this article, the incident escalated immediately!
Cao Jin, who was once a somewhat well-known apprentice of Guo Gang, has now become the center of a media storm.
It had a similar momentum to when Linghu Chong was expelled from the Huashan Sect by Yue Buqun back then; there were many supporters, but just as many critics.
Li Jing, He Wei, and others publicly voiced their support for Cao Jin, stating that his article was authentic.
This has amplified the impact of this controversy.
Cao Jin became the center of attention in the entertainment industry during this period.

The production team of "Roast Conference" originally felt that the main guest, Cao Jin, was not popular enough and did not generate enough buzz because of the criticism he received.
However, after Cao Jin's 7000-word article, he became an instant internet sensation! "Wow, this is Tang's vision and foresight! Cao Jin is now practically at the center of public opinion."
"Everyone was still discussing and speculating, but now that they know Cao Jin is the main guest for our second episode, they all flocked in to see what was going on."
"We immediately convened an emergency meeting, invited Cao Jin over, and we revised the script on the spot to turn it into a genuine self-deprecating and sarcastic commentary on the current situation."
"Excellent! Besides stating the facts, we can also let Cao Jin showcase his unparalleled linguistic talent. Let those who criticize Cao Jin see his brilliance!"
"I'm really looking forward to seeing how explosive our second episode will be!"
Everyone is increasingly impressed by President Tang's ability to select people.
"If Guo Gang weren't the main character in this incident, I would have thought that this was all orchestrated by President Tang to generate buzz for Cao Jin."
"So you're saying it's as if Guo Gang and Cao Jin were working together specifically for our program."
"President Tang is so lucky."
"It should be said that our program team was very lucky. With Cao Jin's popularity, our episode will definitely become another classic."
Li Dan, Chizi, and Wang Jianguo, these language workers, are the kind of people who are secretly wicked and love to watch the drama unfold.
We should immediately rewrite the article for Cao Jin, making sure to fully utilize this incident.
At this time, the topic of Cao Jin, the main guest of the second episode of "Roast Conference", was also pushed to the top of the trending searches on Weibo.
This kind of gossip that has attracted nationwide attention is no longer limited to fans of "Roast Conference". Even many casual viewers are looking forward to this episode because of the feud between Guo Gang and Cao Jin of Deyun Society.
The production team also released a preview, stating that they had revised the script and re-recorded the show overnight, and would be combining this latest event with a commentary and response.
This time, it's a roast of Cao Jin, and also a sophisticated whitewash for him! Amidst everyone's enthusiastic attention, the second episode of "Roast Conference" has officially launched.
This time, after the first episode was banned, all viewers clicked to watch it immediately, fearing that it might be banned again and they would miss the full version.
This led to an unprecedented number of viewers for this episode!
Not only the existing members, but also many gossip-loving viewers who wanted to see how Cao Jin would clear his name.
The production team also thoughtfully provided props, allowing viewers to spend money to either praise or criticize Cao Jin, which was an experiment for the production team.
As the show progressed, Qin Hao, Ning Jin, and others'吐槽 (tu cao, meaning to roast or criticize) became quite entertaining.
However, everyone was looking forward to Cao Jin's appearance.
Finally, amidst much anticipation, Cao Jin launched his counterattack. What appeared to be a rebuttal to the guests who were criticizing him was actually a fierce attack on Guo Gang of Deyun Society!
"When I left Deyun Club back then, some people said I betrayed my master... Today, I want to prove with my actions that the bond between master and disciple is proven by receipts!"
After this joke was released, the entire webpage was filled with comments, and the audience was completely impressed by Cao Jin's sharp wit and humor.
In particular, he even designed a scene where he tears up an invoice prop.
"I'm tearing up this invoice today! We're even now!"
It directly alludes to and reflects the controversy surrounding Guo Gang's demand that his apprentice pay tuition and issue invoices, turning the master-apprentice feud into an absurd comedy.
The comments section on the webpage was filled with laughter.
Everyone felt Cao Jin's charm and talent.
But this is just the beginning.
"A stand-up comedian telling a five-minute joke is called 'blowing up the audience,' while a crosstalk comedian telling a two-hour joke is called 'basic operation'... You guys are blowing up matches, I'm blowing up firecrackers!"
Then Cao Jin delivered a rapid-fire monologue, showcasing solid fundamentals and clear enunciation. He completely overshadowed Yue Yunpeng, who was highly praised by Deyun Society.
"Holy crap, that's some serious basic skill."
"How do you see it? Young Master Cao is the one who has truly inherited Guo Gang's mantle."
"When Young Master Cao stands there, all the fellow apprentices from Deyun Society tied together are no match for him."
"Young Master Cao seems so reckless and courageous; I feel a little sorry for him. He's truly remarkable."
"Young Master Cao's stand-up comedy is a complete game-changer! This is what a professional talker looks like!"
As the barrage of comments flew by, Cao Jin continued to unleash his attacks.
"Some people say I'm 'betraying my master and ancestors'? I'm innocent! Back then, when my master's house was being renovated, I went there every day to carry bricks—now he lives in a villa, and I'm still renting a place to do live streaming!"
This is yet another biting satire, mocking Guo Gang for exploiting his apprentices.
"Wow, this 'Roast Conference' is so sharp! This is the kind of offensive art we've always imagined. Cao Jin's performance is truly the most daring!"
According to Cao Jin's rant, all the data reached the highest peak in CoolCat's history! This episode was truly explosive!
