As the saying goes, the first time is new, the second time is familiar. After Blake Yan calmed down, he was not so worried about the possibility of QQ being compromised.

At worst, it will be on the hot search again. He won't admit it anyway, so what if Claire Li comes to ask? "It's not me, I don't know, it's none of my business", just refuse to admit it.

But QQ is not a problem, but Adrian Shen is a big problem.

The crappy show "Superstar" will be filmed for three months, a total of thirteen episodes, and he and Adrian Shen will sleep in the same bed for thirteen episodes! ... Even if Adrian Shen can stay calm now and has no intention of confessing his love to him, but for three months, day after day, night after night, with the object of his secret love sleeping next to him, who can stay mentally stable?

But what can he do?

He couldn't just say to Adrian Shen: "You are not allowed to have a crush on me anymore."

It would not benefit anyone to break this window paper, so he would not do such a stupid thing. So, being a human is really hard, and having too high emotional intelligence is also wrong. He wanted to be dull, that mysterious skill of "not being able to find that others like him no matter what", why can't he do it?

No wonder they say fools have good fortune, while smart people always have more troubles.

Blake Yan was worried for a few days, but his work had to go on as usual.

These days, he and Adrian Shen have been working in an routine manner under the camera. After a day's recording, they return to their room, close the door, and have little private communication.

Blake Yan was intentionally avoiding communication with Adrian Shen. Maybe Adrian Shen was more restrained and cautious when he was with him? In short, Blake Yan could subtly feel that Adrian Shen was also intentionally reducing contact with him. He was very restrained in his words and actions, and rarely spoke.

He seems really nervous, which is understandable.

As they get along awkwardly, all the content and re-recording of the first episode of "Superstar" have been completed. After the post-editing is completed, it will be broadcast on time this Saturday. This morning, the official blog released a set of new posters and a three-minute trailer.

Blake Yan hadn't logged into his Weibo account for a long time. He logged in after a long absence and, like other guests, reposted the official Weibo for promotion.

A few minutes after he reposted it, Adrian Shen did not repost it from the official Weibo account, but directly reposted his.

Blake Yan was not surprised. This was one of the business links in promoting CP, and interaction on Weibo was also crucial.

According to Claire Li, our business purpose is: not to miss any details and to ensure that customers are fully satisfied.

Blake Yan was still young at the time, and he asked her foolishly: "Isn't this a lie? We are lying to people, isn't that too hypocritical?"

Claire Li taught him: "Do you think it's hypocritical? No, not at all. What we sell is happiness. Isn't that the essence of the entertainment industry? Although we make a lot of money, we should not forget our roots. Bringing happiness to the public is our duty and our original intention. The world of fame and fortune is too impetuous. We should not forget our original intention and keep moving forward."

Blake Yan: ...

Since then, he gave up questioning Claire Li, fearing that her brainwashing speech would rise to the level of "promoting CP to serve the people and doing business for the rise of the Chinese nation". So he quickly shut up and just followed her instructions.

Blake Yan followed the forwarding and clicked into Shen Ze’s Weibo homepage to scan it.

Adrian Shen's online style is similar to his real self, aloof, quiet, and doesn't use cute expressions. Among the five people in their group, Adrian Shen and Dylan Fu are two extremes. Dylan Fu is just the opposite, a high-end Weibo player. Blake Yan reads the long lyrical articles he posts every day and is convinced that even if Dylan Fu doesn't become a star, he can still be a pretentious emotional blogger with millions of fans, giving fans chicken soup every day, absolutely.

Because of this, basically no one in their group would provoke Dylan Fu, otherwise it would be written into a long Weibo post and analyzed by fans of various groups.

It's a pity that others can avoid it. Blake Yan was ordered to promote a couple with Dylan Fu. The two Yans were so popular, and there were too many people who believed that there was something fishy going on between them. Even if Dylan Fu didn't write about him, as long as the words between the lines revealed that he was in a bad mood, he would be blamed - "Yanyan, go and comfort Xiao Fu, why did you make him unhappy again?"

Blake Yan was in deep pain but couldn't express it in words. He could only silently repeat "Don't forget your original intention" to comfort himself.

Likewise, contrast creates beauty.

Compared with Dylan Fu, Adrian Shen is simply a perfect business partner. Putting aside their private disputes, Adrian Shen is definitely a quiet and peaceful flower on the Internet, making people feel very relieved.

Thinking of this, Blake Yan felt less stiff and felt a little better.

The production crew will go to shoot outdoor scenes later. Although it is a closed-door life, it will be too boring to record thirteen episodes if the only shooting locations are the villas where the guests live and the competition stage. The audience will lose the sense of novelty after watching two episodes.

As far as Blake Yan knows, the first episode is a pilot episode with relatively simple content, mainly showing the process of the guests getting to know each other and everyone's original intentions for participating in the program. The main part of "Superstar" begins from the second episode.

The main program is played in a competitive manner. First, the director will plan a batch of five performances with different themes every two episodes based on the different occupations of the guests. For example, Blake Yan and Adrian Shen are good at singing and dancing, so there will be a theme of singing and dancing performance, but this theme will not be assigned to the group of Blake Yan and Adrian Shen, but will be chosen by the group of guests who are not good at singing and dancing, which is the so-called cross-border performance.

Then, the five programs of the five groups of guests will be performed on the stage respectively, and the audience and the specially invited judges will give comprehensive scores to determine the ranking from first to fifth, and reward certain points based on the ranking. In the final performance, after the ranking is evaluated, the group with the highest total score will win the final championship.

In general, according to this plan, the first episode of "Superstar" is the pilot, the second episode is the allocation of the first program theme + shooting of the guests' program creation and practice process reality show, the third episode is the performance stage, the fourth episode is the allocation of the second program theme... and so on, until the last episode of the finals, there are a total of six cross-border stages.

It goes without saying that the stage is a highlight, but the main feature of the program is a celebrity reality show, so it will focus on showing all the real processes of the guests preparing for the stage behind the scenes.

Blake Yan knew very well that the so-called "real process" was absolutely impossible to be real.

The director explained very frankly during the meeting that after the guests were assigned themes, they could freely seek inspiration to add design creativity to the stage program. What does that mean? To put it bluntly, in order to increase the number of filming locations, the program team invited the guests to go out and play at public expense. This way, the content will be more interesting, the pictures will be more beautiful, and it will be easier to arrange conflicts and sell the personality of the guests.

Therefore, "Superstar" is a variety show that integrates stage competitions, outdoor sports, and scenic tourism, and it has many selling points.

At least for Blake Yan, the recording process was fun and not boring at all.

The outdoor scene to be filmed later is boating on the lake. Not everyone will go, only his group and Adrian Shen's group. The other groups of guests have other arrangements.

It is worth mentioning that the lake they are going to this time is the most famous Lover's Lake in the city, a holy place for couples to date. The desire of the program crew to promote the CP is written on their faces.

What's even more outrageous is that this time the filming was done in a covert manner. The director asked them to wear sunglasses and masks, disguise themselves as ordinary tourists, and quietly blend into the crowd, preferably without being discovered.

Blake Yan knew what the effect would be without even thinking about it. He knew the post-production teacher too well. By that time, the screen would surely be full of pink bubbles and various ambiguous subtitles, creating a strong sense of déjà vu of him and Adrian Shen having a private date.

Before departure, there are still some things to be arranged. The guests please take a rest first and leave later.

Blake Yan and Adrian Shen were already ready and sat on the sofa together playing with their phones while waiting for time.

Blake Yan was looking at WeChat. Two days ago, Ethan Qi created a small group on WeChat called "Actually the Plastic Group is Not Plastic at All". As the name suggests, this is their group of five people.

Blake Yan opened it and saw a message floating on it---

Ethan Qi: "It's a break on the set, good afternoon! What are the brothers busy with QVQ?"

Five minutes passed and none of the brothers paid any attention to him. It was obvious that the group name was fake and the Plastic Group was really plastic.

Blake Yan helped to save face: "Let's take a break too, and go shoot outside later."

Ethan Qi was probably playing with his phone, and replied almost immediately: "You guys? You and Ze Ge? I heard that you two sleep in the same bed, is that true?"

Blake Yan: "It's okay, the bed is big and I can sleep comfortably."

Ethan Qi: "How does it feel? Is it really not crowded, Brother Yan? I haven't slept in the same bed with anyone since I was seven years old. I really want to experience it."

Blake Yan: ...

Is there anything worth experiencing?

Blake Yan: "It's okay, it's not crowded. You'll experience it when you get married and sleep in the same bed with your wife."

Ethan Qi: "!"

Ethan Qi: "You and Brother Ze both slept like they were married?"

Blake Yan: ...

No wonder no one paid attention to him. It’s so tiring to chat with a stupid elementary school student whose brain waves are not in line with his own.

Blake Yan closed WeChat indifferently and prepared to open the forum for some entertainment. He hadn't been to the forum recently.

However, before I could open the post, a new group chat message popped up---

Ethan Qi: "By the way, we will meet tomorrow! The first group of MEN universe, five people, will be together!"

Ethan Qi: "Throw flowers! Clap! Clap, clap, clap!"

Blake Yan: ...

Adrian Shen: "?"

Adrian Shen: "Aren't you guys filming on the set?"

...

Blake Yan turned his head and glanced at Adrian Shen. He thought Adrian Shen had blocked the group chat and couldn't see their conversation.

But he was also very curious, how would they meet? He thought that this time they would be doing separate activities and would not be together for at least three months, at most they would visit each other. Could it be that the production team was going to visit the crew and jointly promote it?

Blake Yan: "What event? I didn't receive any notification."

Ethan Qi: "It's not an event, it's a private arrangement! Our crew also happens to be filming outside, not far from you guys, let's drink and sing karaoke together after work~"

Blake Yan: ...

Adrian Shen: "."

Ethan Qi: "Well, it was actually arranged by Jia Jie. She asked us to pretend to go out and play, and then there would be paparazzi taking pictures at the door, and then publish a report that we had a drink together to prove that we have a good relationship in private and to clarify the recent plastic rumors."

Ethan Qi: "She will ask for leave from the production crew for you, so it won't affect the filming."

Blake Yan understood. Ever since his secondary account was exposed, the rumors about discord within the Plastic Heavenly Group had been spreading too widely. Some said Adrian Shen was going to pursue a solo career as a singer, Ethan Qi was going to quit the entertainment industry to go to school, Jason Li was switching careers to become an actor, and Dylan Fu was poached by XX company... In short, in less than half a month, MEN had been disbanded eight hundred times, and he, Blake Yan, was the biggest cancer that led to the disbandment of the team.

Blake Yan was a little embarrassed, but he had to cooperate, so he immediately replied in the group "Okay, let's go drink". As soon as the message was sent, Ethan Qi's private chat suddenly popped up---Ethan Qi: "Brother, I just happen to have something to tell you, let's meet and talk tomorrow QAQ"

Blake Yan: "What's wrong? What happened?"

Ethan Qi: "I broke up, my girlfriend turned out to be a man!!! The photos she showed me before were fake!! I am a man!!!"

Blake Yan: ...

It’s over, so tragic, the beautiful love of the post-00s generation is shattered.
