Chapter 318 - Saturday Night Live (Part Two)

Next, the sketches parodied several of Laila's previously released movies one by one. Since all of her earlier films, except "Rush Hour," were horror movies, the sketches had a horror movie feel to them. However, to the audience's eyes, it was hard not to burst into laughter. The hosts' portrayals of the characters in the short films were just too pitiable.

Either they became the unfortunate soul captured by a witch, or they accidentally fell into a trap set by a vertical saw. After managing to escape, they would discover that everything had been a dream, and they were about to face impending danger.

Finally, when one of the hosts was gloriously knocked unconscious by a huge cake, Jimmy finally "escaped."

As the Saw puppet was tossed into the audience by Jimmy with a lot of "resentment," it couldn't help but deliver the classic line from Saw: "GAME OVER."

Amidst applause, the first part of the sketches officially concluded. The stage suddenly darkened and then, when it lit up again, the audience erupted into wild cheers and screams. This was because Laila Moran had appeared on stage, just about ten to twenty meters away from them!

The frenzied applause and screams rolled like waves, one after another, without ceasing. It wasn't just sporadic; it lasted throughout, with one high-pitched scream after another.

The people from the television network had never seen anything like this. Even when previously highly popular celebrities appeared, they had never encountered such a situation. Fortunately, to ensure the safety of the future boss, they had brought in extra personnel to maintain order, barely calming the audience's emotions.

Backstage, Roy proudly pointed outside to Jimmy and said, "See that? That's our boss. Those who doubted her should take a look at her right now. After seeing this, no one will question her charm anymore."

Jimmy could only nod. No matter how heated the arguments were in the media, Laila had plenty of supporters and wasn't afraid of the so-called righteous criticisms.

"Hello, everyone, I'm Laila Moran," Laila stood on stage, elegantly waving and greeting the audience below.

"Ah!" The screams, which had slightly subsided, erupted once again. Thankfully, the studio had excellent soundproofing, or the entire television station would have been disrupted.

"Hello, everyone, I'm Roy Seasonstar!" Following the planned procedure, Roy also took the stage and stood beside Laila.

His entrance also received a warm welcome from the audience, although it was slightly less enthusiastic compared to Laila's.

Roy shrugged helplessly. "Boss, don't you usually avoid appearing on shows? Why are you here now, trying to steal my thunder? Look at you standing here; everyone is too scared to applaud me."

"Haha." The audience knew he was complaining that the applause for him wasn't as loud. They immediately started clapping enthusiastically.

Roy was finally satisfied and gave Laila a triumphant look. "See, it seems I'm still more popular."

"That's great. I was thinking of terminating your contract if no one liked you. It turns out you have a group of loyal fans who secured your job. You should sincerely thank them," Laila said with a "grateful" nod.

Seeing Roy's dejected expression, the audience laughed again.

"Boss, did you plagiarize another song for me today? Have you forgotten that I'm Hollywood's best singer?" Roy immediately fired back.

"Oh!" The audience in the studio and front of their televisions didn't expect him to bring up the topic so quickly. They were very curious about how Laila would respond to this.

This was all part of the program's pre-arranged script, so Laila responded calmly, "Do I need to plagiarize?"

"If you didn't plagiarize, then how did you make such great movies? How did you write such amazing scripts? How can you help other companies plan so well? And why can you write such fantastic songs?" Roy was mimicking the exact points Faiza had made against Laila in the media. Even the argument was a perfect imitation. Wasn't that spoiled heiress accusing her of being a phony "genius" with every single one of these allegations?

Originally, some people did believe in Faiza's arguments, thinking that no one, no matter how talented, could be so successful in everything. However, for some reason, when Roy mimicked it with a squeezed voice, it just made people laugh.

Not only was his appearance funny, but the meaning behind his words was also amusing.

Why should someone who couldn't achieve something assume that no one else could? 

It was the same thing, the same words, but expressed in a different tone, and it had an entirely different meaning. The audience watching on television hadn't noticed this yet, but after they heard Roy's sarcastic words and then heard the same arguments later, they would just find it funny. It was unlikely they would continue to doubt Laila like they did before.
