Chapter 808: Target

~8 min read 1,523 words

The makeup artist applied makeup to Jiang Yuan casually, tidied up his hair, and checked his clothes. She rolled a small microphone for sound collection into his clothes and clamped it on him while standing on a stool.

After finishing, the makeup artist looked up and compared Jiang Yuan's shoulders, saying: "You are so tall, it will be very difficult to be a star."

"Why?" Jiang Yuan asked purely out of curiosity for knowledge.

"The others acting with you will have opinions. If you are on the same stage with them, won't it make others look short? Look at Tom Cruise, and Takuya Kimura. The actors acting with them, unless they are special types, cannot be too tall... By the way, can you tell how tall they are?" As a makeup artist, the heart of gossip is stronger.

"My basis for judging height is mainly footprints and bones. I rarely look at movies carefully." Jiang Yuan recalled. Since he acquired the skill, he had been busy solving cases, and he really rarely watched movies.

The makeup artist regretted for a moment and asked casually: "Bones? How to look at bones?"

Jiang Yuan answered casually: "Looking at bones is generally putting the body into a pot of hot water and boiling it until the bones are removed, then fishing it out to drain, then weighing it, measuring key indicators such as length and width, and then using regression equations..."

The makeup artist sent Jiang Yuan out of the makeup room with a smile, and while closing the door, she was the first to lock the door.

Studio.

In the space of several hundred square meters, more than half was occupied by equipment and staff. The middle part was brightly lit, illuminating the 12 celebrity guests "vividly."

The program recorded today was a talk show called "Mela Show." The host was Mela, a first-line host in Malaysia. The guests invited this time were second-line actors from a movie currently being shown. For the purpose of promotion, everyone took what they needed, and chatting and playing games were quite pleasant.

Jiang Yuan was part of the game, waiting quietly offstage, not in a hurry.

He had no expectations or fantasies about the entertainment industry. He didn't recognize the popular stars in China very comprehensively, and he didn't know any of the local second-line stars in Malaysia. So, listening to them chatting awkwardly could be said to be calm.

I don't know how long it took, a staff member came over and signaled that Jiang Yuan could go on stage.

Jiang Yuan followed him to the side of the stage, and a staff member stopped him, knocked on his headset, and signaled that he was waiting for orders.

The program team of the TV station was all this kind of stupid operation mode, ensuring that every step was controllable. To put it bluntly, it was to avoid those who didn't have enough brains from messing up the process and affecting the shooting. Moreover, facts have proven the necessity of doing so. Sometimes, they have to add more manpower to block those who don't have enough brains.

"Next, we are going to do a small game. Binu, you have been discovered wearing height-increasing shoes before. Are you wearing height-increasing shoes today?" Mela first picked a small actor, preparing to use him to set a sample for the following program.

He is a first-line host. Although he couldn't sacrifice all the actors in this movie crew, it was no problem to sacrifice a few. The program always needs some explosive points to be prosperous.

Binu's height was a bit less than 180, so he often liked to engage in some small measures, and it wasn't the first or second time he had been exposed. Now hearing Mela say this, Binu secretly called it bad, but his expression remained calm: "I am wearing normal shoes today. Height-increasing shoes are actually just a pair of shoes I picked up from the shoe cabinet. It just so happens that the soles are relatively thick."

"Haha, I've been waiting for you to say that. Alright, next, we have to verify it." Mela laughed and grabbed Binu.

"What do you want to do?" Binu pretended to resist twice. It was just a program effect. Just like what Mela thought, he wasn't unable to accept being sacrificed. He was just a small star. If he could become an explosive point of the program, the collapse of his originally incomplete persona wouldn't count for anything.

"What do you think?" Mela laughed.

"If I must take off my shoes, I hope to choose a gentle person to take off my shoes for me..." Binu tried his best to find the sense of variety.

Mela laughed cooperatively and said: "You guessed wrong. We don't need you to take off your shoes this time. Come, bring the props..."

While speaking, several staff members dragged an air cushion as big as two beds and placed it in the center of the stage.

The middle of the air cushion was piled with sand, and the thickness was quite considerable.

The program team had also asked Jiang Yuan to test it before. At the same time, they were also afraid that Jiang Yuan would fail. Props like the thickness of the sand, which ordinary people don't care about, are actually super cheating, and they were all pulled to the full.

Binu looked at the sand in the center of the venue suspiciously and whispered: "You won't use any cruel means to force me, right?"

"It's much simpler than that. Next, I want you to walk from one end of the sand to the other." Mela directed Binu.

Binu walked to the edge of the sand pit suspiciously: "Don't I need to take off my shoes?"

"No need." Mela signaled Binu to start walking, and then said: "Everyone must have many questions like Binu. We will reveal the mystery. Today, we specially invited a forensic expert from China, Officer Jiang Yuan. Officer Jiang Yuan is the forensic expert in charge of the famous internet celebrity murder case of Ms. Aziza some time ago, and also the forensic expert in charge of the rooftop violent murder case recently..."

After Mela finished the introduction, Binu also finished walking the sand pit, leaving a string of footprints.

"Countdown three, two, one." The staff signaled to Jiang Yuan and held up three fingers, counting down the time.

Jiang Yuan waited for him to finish counting and stepped onto the stage.

"Welcome Forensic Jiang Yuan..." Mela clapped his hands, and then, like an interview, said: "Forensic Jiang Yuan, I heard that you can judge a person's height through footprints and have solved many famous cases based on this, including the internet celebrity murder case and the rooftop murder case that happened in Malaysia recently, is that right?"

"Yes." Jiang Yuan nodded.

"Can you tell us about it?"

Jiang Yuan wasn't stage-frightened. He had no requests for participating in the program, just out of a cooperative mentality, so he said easily: "Well, the core is to judge his height, weight... based on the footprint's center of gravity, gait, etc."

"It looks very powerful. Forensic Jiang Yuan's Malay is also very good. Did you learn it specifically?" Mela interrupted Jiang Yuan's words and opened a new topic.

Jiang Yuan naturally followed the host's request and said two nice things.

The audience offstage applauded one after another.

"Mela Show," out of consideration for the atmosphere, invited a small number of fans to be the audience, just not allowed to take photos or videos.

The actors present also looked at Jiang Yuan curiously.

Mela prepared slightly and asked: "Jiang Yuan, let's do a test first, shall we? Just this sand pit in front of us, can you judge what the height of the owner of the footprints is? OK, we will give Jiang Yuan some time now..."

"176 cm." Jiang Yuan didn't even stutter.

Mela looked at Jiang Yuan with slight surprise: "So fast?"

"Yes." Jiang Yuan smiled. This difficulty was too low. LV1 footprint identification was enough. Because it was a program, he didn't even report the height of the shoes.

Although Mela didn't understand the technology, his level of controlling the program was extremely high. He first smiled at the camera and said: "I declare first, we didn't tell Jiang Yuan the answer in advance. Well... Binu, is what Jiang Yuan said right?"

Binu had already figured it out. At this moment, he let go and said: "176 is my net height. I really haven't told anyone about this."

"Boo..." The audience offstage gave a round of boos.

"It doesn't matter, we can do another test." Mela focused his attention on Jiang Yuan's side, reached out again, and smiled: "In this way, let's invite a few audience members to test it on the spot, how about it?"

The fans who were the audience were quickly excited.

This can be counted as a quite interesting interaction.

Mela turned to look at Jiang Yuan and asked knowingly: "Mr. Jiang Yuan, no problem, right?"

"No problem." Jiang Yuan nodded. ===== CHAPTER 809 =====
