Chapter 79: Exposure
Note: I'm so sorry about the delay. I'm finishing up Plug-In Delivery System today, so I'll be able to focus more on this book. :)
The next morning, An Zhiyan arrived early. The first thing he did was to watch the contestants train.
The final competition will be broadcast live. He will no longer be the host for the entire event. Such live competitions require a host with strong control and rich experience. He will only appear at the beginning and may have some interaction in the middle.
So, in the next round, he will mostly sit in the judges’ seat, watching the contestants perform. His task is not heavy.
The song he will sing with Su Jinli is not definite. It will be a bonus for the audience after the results are announced.
If the first place is not Su Jinli, it will be a song prepared by other contestants.
Even so, they need to prepare in advance. They can’t embarrass themselves on the spot.
When he heard that he was going to sing a duet with Su Jinli, An Zhiyan was quite happy at first.
But after hearing the song, he felt uncomfortable. How come the tune of this song is so hard? He sang along twice and felt like he was not himself anymore.
When he was desperate, An Zhihan sent him a message, complaining that he was not a good brother and made him angry.
After asking carefully, he found out that Shen Cheng had gone to the training camp and suddenly surpassed him.
Not long after An Zhiyan learned that Shen Cheng had gone to the training camp, Su Jinli sent him a message. It made An Zhiyan laugh. At a glance, he knew that Shen Cheng was brainwashing Su Jinli again.
So he replied calmly until there was no sound from Su Jinli’s side. He still didn’t know what the situation was over there.
Now that he has arrived at the training camp, seeing Su Jinli avoiding his gaze, he knows that he is back to the starting line.
Why is it so hard to chase someone?
No, why is it so… frustrating to chase the younger brother of his arch-nemesis?
After a while, Su Jinli reluctantly came to practice singing with An Zhiyan.
They didn’t stay in the practice room, but went directly to the small recording studio. They didn’t turn on the equipment, they just practiced singing in the recording studio.
“Don’t we need to interact? When you sing with Zhang Caini, you always hold hands and stuff.” An Zhiyan asked, feeling very unbalanced in his heart.
“The songs are different. The previous song was sweet. Now this song doesn’t need eye contact. You can sing with your eyes closed.” Su Jinli answered while staring at the lyrics, not even looking at An Zhiyan.
He has a photographic memory and has long remembered the lyrics.
“I can’t sing well, you should have more lyrics.” An Zhiyan said, took out a pen, took away the lyric sheet in Su Jinli’s hand, and started drawing.
“Don't your fans want to see you?” Su Jinli leaned over and asked.
“I can be a vase. They want to see me, not to see me sing out of tune. This song is really hard to sing.”
“You sang ‘Endless Love’ pretty well before.”
“I often hear that song, and I hum along occasionally. This is the first time I heard this song.”
“Oh.” Su Jinli stared at An Zhiyan drawing the lyrics and added, “You’re not much better than my brother. He said he could sing with me too.”
An Zhiyan immediately put down the pen, was silent for a while, and then said in a huff, “No change, let’s practice.”
An Zhiyan’s practice was obviously a bit hard. Later, a professional teacher was found to guide the two of them.
Su Jinli sang okay, but An Zhiyan kept muttering, “My brain is going to explode.”
“I’m almost done, you continue to practice, I’m going back?” Su Jinli asked An Zhiyan.
An Zhiyan threw the lyrics on the table, took a sip of coffee, and didn’t speak with a sullen face. He was obviously angry.
Su Jinli didn’t know what to do, so she asked, “Or should I add some sugar to your coffee?”
“Hmm?” An Zhiyan was puzzled.
“Sweet things make people feel good,” Su Jinli replied.
An Zhiyan couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows, then said to Su Jinli, “Smile at me.”
Su Jinli immediately showed An Zhiyan a silly smile.
“Good, I feel much better,” An Zhiyan replied.
Su Jinli pursed his lips and sneaked a glance at the teacher. Seeing that the teacher was humming the song seriously and didn’t notice them, he finally felt relieved.
Shen Cheng’s warning was very serious, so he always felt that if the news of An Zhiyan chasing him was leaked, both he and An Zhiyan would be finished.
An Zhiyan reached out for his bag and handed it to Su Jinli, “I bought you a few bottles of perfume. You can cover up the real smell on your body. Don’t use the stuff your brother gave you, it’s weird.”
“Oh, thank you, should I return the favor?” He heard that it was necessary to reciprocate.
“You know what I want.”
“I’m not sure…” Su Jinli took the perfume and turned to leave.
Little heartless thing.
“Don’t worry, I won’t make it difficult for you anymore, no need to return the favor,” An Zhiyan suddenly said.
Su Jinli was stunned, then nodded.
________________________
The seventh round of the final competition is a live broadcast, so the preparation time for this time is particularly long, and the stage has also been changed to another place, which is already being arranged.
During this period, the fifth round of competition was also broadcast.
This round of competition is a combination of Su Jinli and Zhang Caini, An Zhihan and Wu Yu, and Fan Qianting and Zhang Caini were almost eliminated and cried on the spot.
There is also a music festival inserted in the middle.
After this round of competition ended, because the program was too popular, it caused a large-scale fan fight.
In the end, many contestants’ companies went to control the scene, and the scene was finally controlled.
[Rolling Ball: #National Idol# #Su Jinli# After watching the selection group, I’m really angry, okay? I really don’t know what CP fans think. Zhang Caini obviously wants to stir up CP to mix the lens, and she succeeded? Didn’t you see how embarrassed Su Jinli was?]
[Wu Mi Tuan: #National Idol# Is Su Jinli’s fans controlling the scene? The combination of An Zhihan and Wu Yu is obviously unfair, resulting in a low number of votes for both of them. Judging from this performance, Su Jinli should not be the first.]
[Crazy Whale: Can those who tear up the little koi use their brains? Haven’t you seen how high the popularity of Little Koi is now? And he also has strength, the first day is justified. #National Idol#]
[Octopus: #National Idol# While you guys are fighting, I’m taking screenshots like crazy, and I still can’t screenshot when Su Jinli, An Zhiyan, and Lu Wenxi are together, and all three of them are clear.]
[Fish’s Third Daughter: #National Idol# #Su Jinli# Ahhh, little fish, you’re still young, don’t flirt with girls, mom won’t allow you to do this!]
[Bilanqing: #National Idol# Not targeting anyone, just feel that the song selection is very tricky, completely for spoofing, not suitable for them to sing. Su Jinli and Wu Yu’s high notes were not shown at all, and An Zihan’s rebellion and sexiness turned into a little fresh and fake smile boy this time. This round of competition looks like a comedy show.]
[Pork Chop Rice is Really Delicious: #National Idol# I like the contestants so much, so I always feel sorry for them, and I met a brain-dead program group. The safety of the contestants cannot be guaranteed, the reputation cannot be protected, and now the rules are messed up, making it nondescript. I wanted to give up several times because of the contestants.]
[Blue Mist: #National Idol# I was excited to open the new episode, then my smile slowly solidified. Apart from Su Jinli’s powerful fan service when distributing flyers, the other clips made me feel awkward.]
[Li Shang: #National Idol# Why are you all so angry? I find it very amusing!]
[Ling Ling: #National Idol# The officials are forcing us to die! Why do I think Su Jinli and An Zhihan should be a team? The Forbidden City girls disagree!]
[Skipping Class Chocolate: #National Idol# I’m usually very laid-back, but after watching it, I wanted to curse. This episode seems like watching an extended version of TikTok!]
To control the criticism, the program group decided to release the preview of the next episode in advance after negotiating with Shen Cheng.
The official Weibo of the program released a new Weibo at 11 o’clock that night, for the highlights of the next episode. At the end, there was a clip of the VCR played for the contestants.
There was Fan Qianting’s long howl when he found out that his room was gone, and Zhang Caini’s helpless laughter after seeing her grandmother dancing in the square.
The last segment was the scene where Su Jinli’s “family” appeared and shocked the audience.
As for Su Jinli’s “family”, only one segment was released, which was when Shen Cheng said on the black screen, “You didn’t open the camera cover, are you sure you can shoot?”
Plus the text that appeared on the screen: Who can make our staff so nervous?
The video ended here, selling enough suspense.
The comments were also very lively:
[Moran: The voice sounds a bit like Shen Cheng, I thought they looked a bit alike before, could it be true?]
[Four Treasures of the Study: Do you remember the large-scale fight between Shen Cheng’s fans and Su Jinli’s fans a while ago? They said Su Jinli was trying to ride on Shen Cheng’s popularity. Most of Shen Cheng’s fans are Buddhists, this is the most intense fight in recent years.]
[Little Tuanzi Xiangxi: One is surnamed Shen, the other is surnamed Su, and they are completely unrelated people, can you stop pulling?]
[Blue and White is a Fairy: Every time there is a problem, Su Jinli is taken out for a walk, and this time Shen Cheng is also brought along. You are consuming the patience of the audience.]
[Qingrao: Why are you all talking about the relative reel? Didn’t you notice Su Jinli’s red costume? It looks so good!]
[Qianye Han: Last time Shen Cheng’s fans were obviously touching porcelain, it was Shen Cheng who followed Su Jinli first, which led to a large number of fans coming to scold Su Jinli. I really don’t know if they asked their own master why they took the initiative to follow others before scolding. I think the possibility of Shen Cheng riding on Su Jinli’s popularity is greater.]
After the broadcast ended, the first few hours were super fierce, and then other news brushed the screen.
Shen Cheng and Su Jinli suspected of being brothers?
Su Jinli’s red costume.
An Zhihan’s mistake in the rain.
Wu Yu’s high pitch.
Su Jinli’s fans are busy again like it's a holiday, scolding the program group for messing with CPs, and then getting various screenshots. The latest promotional video of Su Jinli wearing a red costume was also crazily reposted.
Before, Hou Yong was still buying fan art, now there are really endless options, basically because they really like Su Jinli.
Just like the boy who walked out of the painting, he will naturally attract these artists.
Late that night, the top fifteen contestants seemed to have received a request from the program group to save the show and post on Weibo.
Su Jinli’s Weibo is like a green spot in a sea of flowers, and the Weibo he posted is very different.
[Su Jinli: Hello, mom. [Picture]]
The photo was taken by An Zhihan, a pose hanging on the upper bunk railing, responding to his previous video of sleeping restlessly.
The comments are still the world of mom fans:
[Liang Guang Jinduan: I was angry all night, but seeing your Weibo post healed me. I laughed for the first time tonight. Baby, take care of your health, mom loves you.]
[My God: [Jinli is shocked.jpg]]
[Forgot to Take Medicine When Going Out: Are you hanging yourself on the southeast branch? Hahaha.]
[Dongdu Wolf Cub: Hello, son.]
An Zhihan’s Weibo post was a photo taken with Su Jinli.
[An Zhihan: I dyed my hair with Su Jinli, how does it look? [Picture]]
[Nian Jing Bu Ting: Ash brown! I heard it’s bad for your hair, husband, don’t always dye your hair.]
[Xiudian: You’ve led my son astray!]
[Mo Mo: My selfish wish is that you two would be a team today. It would definitely be more in sync than with Wu Yu. I don’t know how it ended up like this.]
Wu Yu posted a picture of his own back, which was very artistically edited.
[Wu Yu: Still working hard. [Picture]]
[No Soy Sauce: So you posted so late, have you been editing the picture all this time? Can’t you learn from An Zhihan and use one-click beauty? Fan Qianting once had one of his nostrils edited out by him!]
[vip990: Let’s work hard together! The Octopus Dumplings are your solid backing.]
[Lin Qing: It’s okay, you will be the first in the next round.]
[Fan Qianting: I still haven’t decided which song to sing today. Why do Libras have to choose their own songs?]
[Ge Qing Shu icon: It can be said to be very difficult.]
[Young Hero: The program group messed up the song selection, ruined other contestants, and saved you who have difficulty choosing.]
[Little Bao Zha: I was so sad to see you cry today, cheer up, I’ve become a fan.]
[Zhang Caini: Yes, this round is the peak of my life.]
[Ge Ge: I like your true nature, keep it up, you are the most unique scenery.]
[Attack of the Carrot Sauce: Super angry, it’s obviously the program group’s arrangement, why is the person who gets scolded the most you?]
[Yan Suo Chi Tang Liu: Seeing you be so self-deprecating, I suddenly don’t hate you so much.]
[Chang Si Yin: The only person who can get fat in the training camp is probably me, right?]
[Internet Celebrity NingJo: Can you bring our little Jinli when you eat? He’s as thin as a monkey.]
[Dream Rain: Who made you a warm man, don’t you understand the principle of thermal expansion and contraction?]
[Xiao Xiao: Don’t always take care of others, be nicer to yourself in the future.]
________________________
In the early morning, An Zhiyan should have finished work and reposted An Zhihan’s Weibo:
An Zhihan quickly replied to the comment.[An Zhiyan: Why didn’t you dye your hair with me? //An Zhihan: I dyed my hair with Su Jinli, how does it look? [Picture]]
[An Zhihan: My brother dares to eat shit!!!]
[An Zhiyan replied to An Zhihan: I dare not!!!]
Everyone originally thought that the night would pass quietly, but at 1 o’clock in the morning, a hot search suddenly appeared again.
Shen Cheng interacted with Su Jinli.
It turns out that at 12:47, Shen Cheng commented on Su Jinli’s latest Weibo post.
[Shen Cheng: [Sad] I watched the video, why hasn’t the way you sleep changed at all?]
[Su Jinli replied to Shen Cheng: Why are you still commenting after saying goodnight to me?]
[Shen Cheng replied to Su Jinli: I came to check before going to bed.]
Suddenly, in the early morning, a huge piece of news appeared. Do you eat it or not? Do you eat it as a late-night snack or as spiritual food?
Such a shocking piece of news suddenly broke out so late, should the reporters sleep or not? Should the draft be written today or tomorrow?
Have you considered the feelings of the spectators and the reporters?
The content of the comment did not explicitly state that they are brothers, but the information is huge!
What does it mean that the way he sleeps hasn’t changed? Shen Cheng knows what Su Jinli used to look like when he slept!
Who can know what someone looks like when they sleep? It must be someone who lives together!
Looking at Su Jinli’s reply again, Shen Cheng and Su Jinli said goodnight, which proves that they were chatting before!
Chatting privately, the relationship must be very close.
It was said before that Su Jinli and Shen Cheng look alike. Su Jinli’s fans @Shen Cheng, let Shen Cheng recognize his relatives.
As a result, Shen Cheng also followed Su Jinli’s Weibo.
This made Shen Cheng’s fans attack Su Jinli’s fans fiercely a while ago, saying that Su Jinli’s fans are annoying, and Shen Cheng followed Su Jinli out of helplessness.
They feel sorry for their idol, and they think the two people don’t look alike at all. They hope that Su Jinli’s fans will stop hugging their master’s thigh.
Just now, after the preview Weibo of National Idol appeared, people started to speculate that they are brothers, and there are signs of war between the two fans.
If not controlled, there will be a bloody battle all day tomorrow.
Not arguing for your own idol is like never having been a fan of him.
Most of Shen Cheng’s fans are “old fans” and “die-hard fans”, generally they have been fans for many years, after all, Shen Cheng debuted early.
As a result, the average age of Shen Cheng’s fans is mostly between 18 and 35 years old, and people are more mature.
In the fan circle, Shen Cheng’s fans are already considered Buddhists.
Su Jinli is young, and those who watch talent shows are also young people. The age of the fans is mostly between 12 and 28 years old, full of energy and full of combat power.
This also makes the two fans start to tear each other apart. When passers-by see it, they will subconsciously lean towards Shen Cheng’s fans. After all, Shen Cheng is a powerhouse, and fans usually don’t cause trouble.
Su Jinli’s foundation is unstable, and recently it has been really brushing the screen, which makes passers-by a bit annoyed.
At this time, the two idols actually interacted and exposed their identities, and the internet suddenly exploded.
Many people speculate that Shen Cheng knew some movements, so he deliberately appeared at this time in order to make Su Jinli scold less.
At the same time, they don’t want the fans of the two families to fight.
Shen Cheng’s single comment reply suddenly exploded.
[Tejia Axin: What’s the situation? Could it be a real brother, then I… suddenly have an extra… big son?]
[Qiu Yu Mo: What?! My husband is my son’s real brother?]
[Deng Zi Deng: Suddenly a big melon fell from the sky in the middle of the night, and it woke me up all of a sudden.]
[Hu Piaopiao: I’m a bit speechless, this program group is really amazing. An Zhihan’s brother is An Zhiyan, Su Jinli’s brother is Shen Cheng. It has always been rumored that An Zhiyan and Shen Cheng are not in harmony, but Su Jinli and An Zhihan's relationship is so good that they can’t wait to sleep in a quilt?]
["Athene: Has ‘National Idol’ turned into ‘Where is Brother Going?’]
[Shang Ge Wu: After watching the An brothers eat shit, I just finished laughing, and when I came here, I was shocked. What’s going on?]
[Ahua Tian: When watching the show, I felt that Little Jinli’s brother was really bad. He didn’t even go to see Little Jinli. How heartbreaking! Now: Oh, sorry to bother.]
On the other hand, the Weibo posts that Shen Cheng’s fans sent out late at night are also very interesting.
[Peppermint Ice Without Water: #ShenCheng# I’ve been a fan of Chengcheng for five years, and this is the first time I’ve rolled up my sleeves and had a crazy fight with the fans of another idol. Then I found out that I had been scolding Chengcheng’s real younger brother for half a month. Don’t ask me how I feel now, I can’t say it. I need a set of forgetful water amnesia package.]
[Well, Little Flower: #ShenCheng# It took me a full eight minutes to delete the Weibo post where I scolded Su Jinli. You can see how hard I scolded before! Ah, it turns out to be Chengcheng’s younger brother. I said why the more I look, the cuter he is!]
[Yi Tu Gui Yin: #ShenCheng# #DrunkenDreamTiltCitySeptember15# After knowing the truth, I brushed the screen in the group to quit the fan club. I don’t understand how Chengcheng has such a younger brother who can control the hot search. I’m really disappointed. Then I opened ‘National Idol’ intending to find a point to scold Su Jinli. After watching for a while, I found… the more I look, the more pleasing to the eye. It’s worthy of being our Chengcheng’s younger brother.]
[Chu Dian Supreme: #ShenCheng# #SuJinli# My feeling now is like watching a boxing match. But suddenly, the two players kissed each other.]
[Chui Zan: #ShenCheng# After arguing, suddenly shook hands and made peace with the opposite house. We are all a family.]
Su Jinli, who is sleeping, naturally doesn’t know that his fans and his brother’s fans are actually fighting.
He won’t even know that his brother’s fans have followed him in large numbers, causing his fan count to grow crazily again.
While he was closing his eyes and performing a spin on the bed, the reporters were even more complaining.
________________________
Early morning, an awkward time.
After sleeping in the lower bunk, there was no railing. In the middle of the night, he suddenly fell to the ground and was stunned.
He climbed back to bed in embarrassment, and secretly looked at the camera, fearing that he would be recorded in a small video again.
He took out his phone to check the time, and saw several messages.
[Hou Yong: Little Jinli, you concentrate on the competition, you don’t need to care about the comments on the internet. I am working overtime to control public opinion. The Sejia Legend has also sent out a small team, and it will soon calm down.]
[Shen Cheng: Don’t log in to Weibo.]
[An Zhiyan: Don’t mind those comments. These are inevitable on the road to fame. Just stay calm.]
Su Jinli looked at the phone and felt very confused. Out of curiosity, he couldn’t help but open Weibo, and then he was bombarded with messages.
He looked at the Weibo messages, clicked to read some, and was surprised to find: How did these people start fighting? What? It turned out to be a fight with my brother’s fans?
Then he continued to look, the more he looked, the more anxious he became.
'That’s not the case! My brother is not bad at all, he is not a bad brother, and he is not hypocritical. My brother is super good.'
At four o’clock in the morning, Su Jinli’s fans and Shen Cheng’s fans did cease fire, but Shen Cheng, who has always had a good reputation, was actually scolded.
Some people took the words that Su Jinli said in the program, took them out of context, and analyzed that Shen Cheng is a very irresponsible brother. He has always abandoned Su Jinli. It was only after Su Jinli became popular that he was willing to recognize Su Jinli.
If you really care about your younger brother, why haven’t you seen your younger brother for so many years? If it’s not slag, what is it?
It can’t be washed white.
