[Main story completed, extras updated daily~]
Journalism student Yi Jingchen was bound to an unethical system that forced him to participate in an idol survival show to debut as the center.
Hidden benefits
"What?"
Yi Jingchen heard everyone talking and raised his cat face in confusion.
He had just been struggling with the number '41', and coupled with his lack of musical appreciation, he was not sensitive to boy band demos.
Moreover, I was standing too far back, and the people in front of me were making so much noise that I couldn't hear the 15-second content clearly.
"No?"
"You didn't hear clearly? How can that be possible!"
The contestants who came to join in the fun immediately went wild.
"This demo was definitely chosen for you, otherwise I would wash my hair upside down!"
"Yeah," Li Jibai also joined in the fun, "Suitable for senior."
[As the left protector of the Maomao Cult, I'm betting that demo number 41 is definitely the song everyone voted for.]
"Really? Let me listen to it!" Yi Jingchen suddenly became excited. He grunted and came to the staff boy, begging him with starry eyes to play it again.
The young man complained, "I told you not to. It's against the rules to let you listen to it..."
Seeing his firm attitude, Yi Jingchen frowned and decided to use his long-hidden killer move.
"Brother~"
Yi Jingchen changed to an extremely natural sweet girl voice, which was sweet and delicate.
When he first showed off his voice, some old perverts wanted to crawl over the Internet and take this cat home as their wife.
"Let me listen~" Yi Jingchen held the pretty face and blinked twice cutely.
“Ouch!!!”
Not to mention the staff member who was attacked head-on, even the trainees watching nearby cried out that they couldn't stand it anymore.
"Help! Where's this girl?"
"Isn't 'Super Idol' a boy band audition?"
"Hurry up! Make him listen!!!"
"Let him listen. We don't have to listen!"
"Then..." The staff guy was caught off guard and was confused. He was about to press the play button again.
"Boom—"
The door of the data department's office was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
The strictest administrator of the entire recording base appeared at the door and taught these troublesome brothers a lesson in a harsh tone.
"All of you, come out! I think the Data Department should be sealed off and fenced off with barbed wire!"
"How many times have I told you not to come here to inquire about information? Don't you remember?"
The trainees were the first to violate the rules and pitifully explained, "We didn't ask about the rankings, we just wanted to hear the third public performance demo..."
"You can't even listen to the demo! The demo is confidential before the song is selected! And that guy who works on the data, don't spoil them. Have you forgotten the confidentiality agreement of the program team?" The administrator drove all the trainees out of the data group's office like chickens, including Yi Jingchen, who had just made a great sacrifice but had not yet achieved his goal.
The stupid Silver Gradient tried to struggle, but before he could even open his mouth, he was forcibly expelled from the Data Department office by the administrator.
Faced with the cute and coquettish behavior of the pretty brothers, the administrator seemed to have been killing fish at RT-Mart for ten years and was not moved at all.
The administrator said, "No, no, if we let you hear the demo in advance, what will happen on the day of the third public performance? The leaders are most afraid of the demo being leaked and affecting the performance."
"We'll definitely act it out and pretend it's the first time we hear it!"
The administrator was disdainful, "Come on, with your poor acting skills, if you have the ability, go into the film and television industry!"
Trainee: ...
The trainees whose acting skills were lame were severely dissed, and they asked plaintively, "We still have to wait two days for the song selection for the third public performance. What should we do in the next two days?"
The administrator took out his phone and checked the work group chat. "The group said that the third phase of the welfare list has been closed and will be closed soon. The top nine will participate in an offline handshake meeting, and the remaining trainees will also sign photo cards and shoot materials."
Yi Jingchen, who was feeling listless, instantly revived when he heard that there would be another offline event where he could meet his fans face to face.
As soon as the administrator finished speaking, he heard the broadcast voice that shook the recording base, notifying the trainees to gather outside, and the results of the welfare list were about to be announced.
The trainees gathered at the entrance of the data department were still thinking about the demo they hadn't finished listening to when a cat figure quickly jumped out, leaving the sound behind.
"I'm coming, I'm coming~"

[Post Title: "Super Idol" Second Round Review & Third Public Song Selection Predictions]
Subject: As usual, I’ll post a demo of the Ershun variation and Sangong for your listening pleasure.
Second order 1-9: Du Xingwei (↑1), Tian Xitu (↓1), Mu Gan (-0), Yi Jingchen (↑5)...
1L: To summarize briefly, except for Mu Gan, all the members in the debut circle were reshuffled, including Huang Nanshisan (the largest increase in ranking), Li Jibai (the second ring entered the debut circle), Yi Jingchen (the largest increase in votes), and Teacher Xiaoyan got the most votes as expected. Let us say loudly: Thank you, God of Melons!
6L: Let’s have a rational discussion. The three most outstanding brothers in the second public performance are not suitable for forming a group.
Arano Jusan’s style and image are too abrupt. It’s okay for one performance, but after the group is formed, do all performances have to cater to his dark style?
Li Jibai's looks are acceptable, but his style is very disconnected and too otaku-like. The main audience of boy group idols is live streaming, so what's the point of him exploring the ACG market?
As for Yi Jingchen, he is a complete waste. It is better to exchange him for Zhuo Wenjie.
13L: Thank you, sixth floor haters, for laying so much groundwork to smear your father. This year's theme is diversity in boy bands, are you blind? Saying that little JB is inappropriate is hilarious. Other groups are trying hard to break out of their own circles and capitalize on the popularity of the anime, but you've simply locked the door shut. What's the matter? Anime isn't worthy of fandom?
Replacing Yi Jingchen with Zhuo Wenjie is a huge joke. How can we, the clean and honest top student from A-level University, be inferior to the scum who can't even figure out his stance?
19L: I'm not a Yi Jingchen fan, and I disagree with swapping Yi Jingchen for Zhuo Wenjie. In boy group talent shows, votes are king; debut spots are determined by voting, not by gossip. After all these years, don't you even understand the basic rules?
26L: Forced to rank 19th! If you don't like Yi Jingchen, vote for your idol there! ! Besides, what's wrong with idiotic Yi Jingchen being in a boy group? He's hardworking, passionate, and pretty.
34L: u1s1, just the fact that you are 'good-looking' beats 99% of the ugly men in the Chinese entertainment industry! I want a pretty brother, I want a pretty brother!
41L: Stop criticizing me, it's too late to start targeting the debut position now. Based on my team's current size, I'm definitely going for the center position.
52L: In the third stage, two forces, the Harry Potter and the Cat Fans, entered the market, and the Star and Rabbit double TOP positions became unstable.
66L: I remember that Maochu said a few days ago that he was not interested in the draft. How come he changed his mind so suddenly?
75L: Cat fans are not interested, but Yi Jingchen’s fans are interested! I am a Yi Jingchen fan now~
83L: What? You don’t allow us to sit on the fence and do both?
99L: Please, don't mess with the cat fans. Let's discuss the song selection for the third public performance. Thank you for your hard work listening to the demo~
107L: Respect! I had a hard time listening to all 99 demos from beginning to end, but the sisters from each group were able to choose them.
118L: Speaking of the demo charts, I didn't expect this year's three public performances to be so bloody, starting with the demo selection. The first picks for both Star and Rabbit collided, and I thought the top two were finally going to clash, but a few minutes later, both changed their songs at the same time.
129L: When Xingtu and Tu dominated the charts early on, they had no energy to fight. Now that everyone is eyeing them, they can't afford to waste time fighting. If they relax even a little, someone else will take over.
134L: The two brothers of Xingtu are young, but their fans are quite mature and know how to consider the overall situation. This year, the fans of the TOP circle have a unique style. The Xingtu are restraining each other, the Mugan family can't even find the battlefield, and the Chen family sister is lazy and lying down. As long as you don't provoke them, they won't attack.
148L: I dream of a harmonious show circle! I’ve seen enough of the fan circle fighting, give group fans a way out!
156L: Is anyone asking for the demo itself? I feel like the top 41 is tailor-made for Yi Jingchen.
170L: It's not your illusion! The original author of demo No. 41 came out to claim it, he is a cat fan
184L: Is song #41 a cat fan song? The crappy production team is smuggling in their own ideas! S-series talent shows stipulate that the composer of the performance song cannot have fan membership. @Superidol, we strongly demand that song #41 be disqualified!
191L: Stop jumping around, you haters above. Mao fans didn't break any rules. The call for the San Gong demo closed a month ago, and the original author didn't pick one at the time, so don't push your head across time and space.
205L: I read the original author's Weibo post. She said she was extremely anxious for a while, even having suicidal thoughts. Later, under the guidance of "someone," she wrote this song, which happened to be selected by the program.
What is certain is that when she wrote the song, she was definitely not thinking about her idol Yi Jingchen, so she did not violate any rules.
222L: Who doesn't know Yi Jingchen is a cat? So wearing a vest doesn't count as a violation?
(This comment has been deleted by an administrator.)
238L: The forum moderator reminds netizens to discuss rationally and not to touch on prohibited topics.
252L: Hahahaha! The moderators acted really quickly! Don't you know that the Maochu community forbids opening boxes? They've requested that forums and other platforms make it a banned topic, citing "cyberbullying/disclosing personal privacy" as a reason.
264L: Trembling... For the first time, I clearly felt the fighting power of cat fans. What can show fans do to fight them?
278L: If you think number 41 is a violation, then 25, 79, 34, 89... the original authors of these demos are all obvious cat fans, and I don't know how many more there are who haven't been dug out. Cat fans are versatile, sorry~
285L: Since they have to ban cat fans, why are Du Xingwei and Li Jibai still able to record the show?
299L: Okay, okay, No. 41 did not violate the rules, your Yi Jingchen is really lucky
307L: What a ridiculous thing to say about the 299th floor. Just one word "good luck" wipes out the past ten years for him. Do you want this luck?
324L: I laughed so hard after climbing this building! Chen has been targeting Yi Jingchen for two months, using every opportunity to brainwash him into thinking he's a waste, relies solely on luck, and doesn't deserve to debut. In the end, he was silenced by Chen's sister.
336L: You deserve it. Why did you mess with them?
347L: Sisters! The welfare list has officially ended!!!
354L: Oh my god! The third stage is so crazy, the top of the welfare list is fighting fiercely, the positioning circle is full of life and death, and there is a fan circle that is blocking the line and counter-killing, and has 150 more lucky bags than the tenth place. The strategy is amazing.
361L: Oh my god! I thought you were exaggerating, but when I looked at the list just now, it's completely different!
372L: Don’t look at the list! The live broadcast room has started to announce the welfare list results. I am really looking forward to the brothers’ performance in this ranking!
Fans of the show left the forum one after another, clicked on the official live broadcast room, and saw that 36 brothers were already standing neatly in the outdoor square.
The staff lady came on stage with a familiar loudspeaker, picked up the ranking results, and looked like she was doubting her life.
For the audience who already knew the ranking, it was not surprising why the young lady made such an expression.
The ignorant trainees had no idea what they were about to face.
"Everyone knows the rules of the welfare list, right? Just like last time, the top nine will participate in an offline handshake meeting, and I will announce it directly from the ninth." The staff was hesitant for a long time before checking the ranking list and reading out a name that no one dared to believe.
"Ninth, You Lingyu."
"……I?!"
You Lingyu, who was only ranked 14th on the main list of the second phase and was extremely far away from making his debut, couldn't believe that he would appear in this position.
The other trainees couldn't believe it and looked at You Lingyu.
"Yes." The staff lady checked the data again and told him with certainty, "You have a total of over five million lucky bags, 150 more than the tenth one. These are all sorted by computer, and you can check the original data."
Compared with more than five million, 150 is a tiny amount.
Everyone's eyes looking at You Lingyu changed from envy to admiration.
With such a small gap, he broke into the top nine. If this was the finals, You Lingyu's fan circle would be deified.
[Yu Family's sister is awesome! She really managed to get the last second to kill me with just a sliver of health left!]
【Tactical genius! 】
"Yu's sister isn't a tactical genius. We have a small family, so we can't compete on the main charts. You Lingyu's positioning is so bad he almost got eliminated early on. He's positioned as a boy band rapper, so he can't break into either the idol or rap circles. We just want to give him a chance, so that everyone can see him."
We know that no matter how high the bonus list is, it won't affect the main list. But everyone still maxes out their budgets. Even if Yuyu is eliminated in the third round, at least it proves that we love him.
You Lingyu stayed at the recording base, far away and couldn't see the barrage at the moment.
But she seemed to sense something and lowered her head with red eyes.
Yi Jingchen came over, patted his shoulder gently, and whispered in You Lingyu's ear.
"Don't cry, they probably want you to laugh."
You Lingyu hummed, and tried to hold back his tears several times, but he still couldn't hold them back.
Yi Jingchen thought for a moment and asked, "That unlucky guy who's only 150 points behind you should be crying, right?"
"yes!"
When everyone realized this, they couldn't help but feel curious about who was the tenth place and cast longing glances at the staff.
"Do we really need to announce it? Wouldn't that be too cruel?" The staff member was a little embarrassed to speak and whispered a name, "Zhong Zihan."
“…”
The atmosphere on the scene suddenly became subtle.
The gap in votes for the positions is very close, with the difference between 9th and 13th being less than 10,000 lucky bags. Anyone can get a position before the list is closed.
In this area, there is one person who stands out.
Other people's lucky bags are bought randomly by casual fans, but his company relies on the "big brother on the list" to bear 90% of the sales, for fear that no one can tell that it is the company's fault.
As a result, the company spent a lot of money but still failed to get Zhong Zihan into the top nine.
The atmosphere in the barrage pool instantly became lively, filled with memes about "his Zi Han".
Only then did You Lingyu hold back her tears, and said thank you to the camera with a smile.
Yi Jingchen then withdrew his hand that was patting his shoulder, stared at You Lingyu, and muttered secretly:
[It’s amazing that there are rappers in the world who are both crybaby and sensitive.]
[If he and Mu Ganzhong were to get along...they would just become two mediocre rappers.]
[Add Arama XIII to the mix, wow—]
[Three shady rappers appear!]
Everyone: ...
Are you kneading the dough here?
Is the Wild Swamp Thirteen a can of herring? It's so lethal.
The staff signaled everyone to be quiet, not wanting to drag out the process too long, and quickly announced the eighth place winner, Coneson.
The three words "Koneson" hit the ground, immediately causing a huge "Huh?!", making it impossible for her to continue the announcement.
[Kenneth ranked 4th in the first round and 6th in the second round, so taking the average, he should be 5th.]
[Why did it become 8?]
Yi Jingchen was very confused.
Koneson himself could understand it.
There is no direct connection between the main list and the welfare list. The voting mechanism for the welfare list is complicated and requires more money.
So far, he has accumulated a certain amount of popularity.
But as He Yidong said, it is not that "irreplaceable".
"Quiet, listen to me!" The staff suppressed their voices and announced loudly, "Seventh place, Li Jibai!"
Li Jibai's ranking was not much different from the main list, but it still shocked many people.
I thought Li Jibai relied purely on the popularity of "Right Protector" and only had easy votes but no die-hard fans, but the welfare list slapped everyone in the face.
Just based on Li Jibai's gentlemanly face, even if he is just an idol, he can still attract many female fans.
Staff: "Sixth, Shulang."
"ah?"
"Shu Lang is only sixth? That's so low."
"It's not low anymore." Shu Lang corrected immediately, "I told them that they don't need to spend money on voting for me on the welfare list. Even if I don't participate offline, it doesn't matter."
Shu Lang came from a bankrupt company and knew too well the importance of money. He was stingy and didn't want them to spend money on him.
Perhaps it is true that "birds of a feather flock together". The fan circle ecology of Shulang's family is in sharp contrast to that of his wealthy brother's family. They all rely on picking up garbage to support their idol.
The values of Lang’s sister are exactly the same as those of the real owner. Money must be spent in two halves to maximize its value.
At this handshake event, the trainees' rankings are directly related to the fans' admission quota.
The ninth-ranked younger brother has 120 admission spots, which will be drawn from fans who have collected the complete illustrated collection.
The eighth has 130 places, the seventh has 140 places, and so on.
Shu Lang got sixth place and has 150 places.
The person before him had 10 more places and over 1 million more lucky bags.
Shulang fans gritted their teeth and decided to maintain the sixth position and pursue maximum cost-effectiveness.
When the various people in the show industry learned about Shu Lang's tactics, they all lamented:
As expected of fans of the bankrupt idol, they are all financial experts who live frugally.
In comparison, the one that was rolled up fifth is definitely a typical example of "impulse buying".
Staff: "Fifth place, Luchu, your lucky bag is worth over 10 million."
"T-that much?"
Luchu was startled, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Across the fence, the Jiujia station sister shouted loudly.
"Not much, not much! It's only right to spend money on my wife!"
"These are all our betrothal gifts to our beautiful wife T!!!"
Luju blushed with shame, covered her mouth and whispered thank you to everyone.
"Ah~" Yi Jingchen looked at Luchu and teased him half-seriously, "You're really getting married."
"Hmm!" Lujiu covered his face even tighter.
When the staff announced the fourth one, the confusion in their eyes grew deeper and deeper.
She even began to suspect that the ranking might have been rearranged alphabetically.
"Fourth, Du Xingwei."
“…”
“???”
The whole audience was silent, silence was better than words at this moment.
Du Xingwei, who had just been ranked first when the ranking was announced, dropped to fourth in the blink of an eye.
Du Xingwei himself didn't care and happily celebrated that he could participate offline.
The elder sister of the Xing family was in great sorrow, wailing that her family had won first place and they were so proud of themselves that they ended up being robbed.
The ones who snuck home at the right time were none other than the Mu Gan Fan Club, which had just organized an emergency chart-topping campaign.
Sister Gan, who is often dissed as a "group of loose sand", has shown amazing fighting power as soon as her fan club was established.
Hit wherever you point, and fight if you don’t obey.
The Xing family only relaxed for a few minutes before the Gan family chased them from behind and raped them in the ass.
If the Tian Xitu family had not been good at keeping up with the rankings and had not urgently added the lucky bags before the deadline, they would have suffered the same fate at this moment.
"Third place, Mu Gan, 18 million."
"Second place, Tian Xitu, 20 million."
They are the only two in the entire debut circle whose rankings have not changed.
However, looking at the before and after, the biggest absurdity is that they haven't changed.
Finally, there was only one candidate left, and everyone guessed who it should be.
Only Yi Jingchen himself had some doubts. He unconsciously clenched his fingers and waited anxiously for the result.
The staff saw the trainee ranked first and seemed to feel inexplicable pressure. He took a breath before reading.
"Yi Jingchen, 41 million."
"Woc?!"
Someone couldn't control themselves and burst out cursing.
"How much?"
"Kill the second one twice, do you have to be so ruthless?"
[Congratulations, Chenchen~ See you offline~]
[Why can you meet in person? Did you get a spot in the lottery?]
[Hehe~ I made it to the top three! Not only did I get a spot, but I also got double the time~~~]
[I'm going to fight you rich people! Why is Yi Jingchen's competition so competitive? Hundreds of thousands of complete illustrated books are used to draw 200 spots. Is this reasonable?]
[u1s1, Yi Jingchen's full collection drop rate is too high, and even single draws can yield hidden cards. Has the staff adjusted the drop rate for you?]
[The drop rates are the same, my sister's fans are just like the main character, and they are all lucky.]
[I remember the staff was indeed adjusted. Because there were too many people in Sister Chen's Complete Pokédex, they were given 30 more spots. I hope Sister Chen won't be so eager.]
[As a result, the number of spots increased, and the competition became even more intense. If the fan club hadn't requested to stop at '41', who knows how much Chen Jie and Mao Chu would have won.]
[So, who wins the cat chef vs. sister Chen?]
[Fifty-fifty. Not counting the domesticated silver tabby cats, the cat chef leads in number, and the Chen family leads in per capita income. Now Yi Jingchen's family has both money and connections... terrifying.]
"Well, even if I let the original one compete now, I can still give it a debut."
[No! It's not even six months old. I'm going to report you to the Cat Association for illegally employing child cats.]
[Illegal employment of child cats, hahahaha! xswl]
"So many!" Yi Jingchen widened his cat-like eyes and proposed a fantastic idea, "Can I shake hands with all of them? I don't mind working overtime!"
"That shouldn't be possible," the staff member said awkwardly. "The venue for the handshake event is limited and can only accommodate a maximum of 3,000 people. However, the production team has already added 30 spots for your track."
"Okay..." Yi Jingchen was a little reluctant.
[What a pity! What about those who want to meet but can’t?]
[Will there be a chance to meet again in the future?]
[But if I shake hands with so many people... my cat's paws will probably become bald, right?]
Yi Jingchen thought of this, rubbed his hands, and muttered softly, "It's going to be hard for you."
Suddenly, he realized something serious.
"Wait, I don't even know what a handshake is!"
No one was quite clear about it, and everyone's attention was focused on Tian Xitu, who came from the 48th lineage and often attended handshake events.
As a senior expert in the field of handshakes, Tian Xitu called Du Xingwei over to stand in front and demonstrated it to everyone personally.
"When I attended handshake events in the past, I had to line up in the corresponding queue. When it was my turn, I handed my handshake ticket to the ticket inspector, then walked up to the idol I wanted to shake hands with, shook hands, and talked to him. A handshake could last from 20 seconds to a minute, depending on how many people were in line behind me and whether the staff would rush people away."
"Just a handshake?" Yi Jingchen imitated him and stretched out his hand. It seemed a bit like two company CEOs meeting to discuss business.
The audience in the live broadcast room also realized at this moment that it seemed a bit awkward to just follow the handshake ceremony routine.
Moreover, if they shake hands face to face, there is no guarantee that fans will do something extreme to their idol.
The staff realized everyone's concerns and quickly stopped them, saying, "Don't try to imitate this. Our handshake will not be like this. On that day, each of you will have a turntable next to you."
While talking, the staff asked their colleagues to move the turntable out.
The turntable is the kind you often see in shopping malls and amusement parks. It has a total of sixty grids. The largest area corresponds to the "small card TO signature". The other grids, from most to least, are: earthy love words, air heart, cute five-shot continuous photo, and group photo.
There is also a grid with the smallest area, which only occupies one-sixtieth of the entire turntable, and it says "stick face through plastic wrap".
Sticking the plastic wrap to the face is the only extreme action in the entire turntable, and it is also a pie painted by the program team to stimulate fans.
After all, the probability of winning is only one in sixty. How can it be that easy to win?
Just when they thought that the "plastic wrap on the face" was just a decoration and would never happen.
Yi Jingchen walked over and tried to turn around.
The turntable spun rapidly for dozens of times, then stopped, and the pointer pointed exactly at the one-sixtieth.
Planner: Okay, forget about this European Emperor.
Yi Jingchen stared at the option and touched his little face.
"You just said... my fans are lucky?"
[What if they all win the hidden bonus...]
[My makeup will end up on the plastic wrap, which is going to be really awkward.]
The planner finally realized this and waved his hand, signaling the staff to modify the hidden benefits.
For example, change the probability of that grid to 1/120.
Seeing that he was about to make some changes, Yi Jingchen raised his hand and asked, "Can I design my own hidden benefit?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tian Xitu next to him said, "I want to design it myself too."
"Me too!" Du Xingwei said loudly.
You Lingyu, who made it into the top nine for the first time, also wanted to do something for his fans personally.
The planner noticed their intention, stared at the turntable for a while, and came up with a bold idea:
"How about I make the grid bigger for you?"
“Okay, okay!”
"Change it to an equal distribution, that's what we call welfare."
"Yeah, they've finally made it to the scene, and they're just signing a small card. That's pretty insincere."
"We're not those perfunctory idols! We're very business-minded!"
.
That night, the younger brothers who participated in this offline handshake meeting collectively suffered from insomnia in order to come up with hidden benefits.
Fortunately, the handshake meeting is not scheduled for tomorrow, but on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the day to welcome the God of Wealth.
While others welcome the God of Wealth, "Super Idol" welcomes all the parents who provide us with food and clothing who have come from afar, which is very reasonable.
For the next whole day, the competition for the C list in the third public performance was still going on, so there was no way to record the song selection.
The third-phase flight instructor hired by the program team did not arrive either.
The planner simply canceled the original plan and left them with the gifts and various surprises prepared for the fans.
Time passed quickly and it was the day of the handshake meeting.
The nine younger brothers who attended the handshake event came to the stylist early, intending to design a stunning look that would stun the audience.
Du Xingwei even had his hair permed overnight, hoping to make himself look more mature and show off his "adult charm".
Even Mu Gan, who has no requirements for styling and has a very casual style, tried the styling of mainstream idols at the suggestion of the stylist.
Yi Jingchen walked into the dressing room and saw Mu Gan rubbing his earlobe.
"Nana, what are you doing?"
"I'm numbing my earlobes." Mu Gan spread out his hands, and in his palms lay two gemstone earrings, one black and one red. "I want to wear these things on my ears."
"Ear studs? You don't have pierced ears."
"Yeah." Mu Gan continued to rub his ear, "As long as you stick it in, you will have an ear hole."
"Calm down, that's not how you get your ears pierced. Even if you get your ears pierced now, they'll need to heal for a few days. You can't wear such heavy earrings right away." Yi Jingchen took the earrings and fiddled with them. "Don't you have a clip-on version?"
Mu Gan pointed to several other styles on the counter and said, "The stylist gave me some clip-on earrings, but they don't look good."
"Oh, then please find some tweezers and scissors in the makeup box for me. I'll go borrow some hot glue from the props team."
"?" Mu Gan slowly typed a question mark and took out tweezers and scissors from the makeup box.
Yi Jingchen borrowed hot melt glue and tools, and quickly removed the back ear clip of the clip-on earrings. He also cut the silver needles behind the earrings shorter and spliced them together with hot melt glue.
"Here." Yi Jingchen placed the reborn ear clip in Mu Gan's hand, and walked towards his dressing area under his shocked and admiring gaze.
My sister exclaimed, "Yi Jingchen, how many surprises do you have that I don't know about?"
However, the cat fan said that it was just basic operation, and the cat master's small skill was not worth mentioning.
Yi Jingchen returned to his makeup area and saw the young lady he worked with last time flipping through a fashion magazine to study makeup.
She searched and searched, but found nothing particularly suitable for Yi Jingchen.
She closed the fashion magazine helplessly and was about to ask Yi Jingchen what style he wanted.
While Yi Jingchen was reading, he had already placed the things he needed on the table in order, then ran to the next door to borrow a white wig and a head model to demonstrate hairstyles, put the wig on and trimmed it.
After cutting the fake hair into a shape that satisfied him, Yi Jingchen rummaged around, as if looking for something.
The stylist quickly leaned over and asked, "What do you need?"
"I want a disposable hair dye spray, do you have one?"
"Yes, we have everything you want!" The stylist quickly went out to look for the hair dye spray, muttering to himself: This money is too easy to make.
If this continues, Yi Jingchen will lose his job.
The stylist brought back the spray. Yi Jingchen had already trimmed the fake hair into a medium-length style with a very anime feel. He also used hair bags to form two triangles on the left and right sides, like a pair of ears.
Yi Jingchen took the spray, found a piece of white paper to cover the rest of the area, and sprayed a little gradient powder on the tip of the triangle, making it look like a pair of real animal ears.
He nodded with satisfaction, put the fake hair on his head, pointed to the center of his eyebrows and said to the stylist, "Sister, I want a pair of dark purple contact lenses and a flower ornament here."
"Okay, okay, I'll find you colored contact lenses right away."
While the staff was choosing contact lenses, Yi Jingchen unscrewed his eyeliner and drew an upturned eye makeup.
Then use eye shadow with pearlescent sequins to smudge a charming blush at the end of the eyes.
The makeup hasn't even been finished yet, but the comments are already going crazy.
[Fox beauty! Come and absorb my yang energy, I'm ready!]
Yi Jingchen is amazing. He was able to create a fox-like makeup look so quickly without any professional props. With such professional skills, it's no wonder he's become such a great artist.
Those ears are amazing! I've seen many cosplayers get custom animal ears, but none look as natural as his.
My chest is pounding. I must be mesmerized by this foxy beauty.
[Wow! Why don't I have a spot to enter?!]
[Shashashashasha, getting into the top three is so worth it! Just thinking about meeting the beautiful fox beauty soon makes me feel so happy.]
Yi Jingchen is so beautiful! Questioning King Zhou, understanding King Zhou, and becoming King Zhou.
Yi Jingchen finally put on colored contact lenses, tilted his face up and asked the stylist to apply a beautiful flower-shaped makeup on him, then walked in front of the camera to confirm his makeup.
Everyone was surprised to find that Yi Jingchen really knew his face well, which was why he was able to shape his appearance into various looks.
His upturned eyes and affectionate features make him look so alluring even when he stares at the camera.
The audience stared at Yi Jingchen infatuatedly, finding it hard to imagine his usual innocent and foolish appearance.
No wonder everyone watched the live broadcast for so long but still didn’t guess that he was the one behind the cosplayer cat.
Yi Jingchen confirmed his makeup, adjusted his animal ears, and walked out of the dressing room.
As soon as I turned the corner, I saw Shu Lang sitting in another seat waiting to be put on makeup.
He floated behind Shu Lang and looked into his eyes in the mirror.
Shu Lang was startled when he saw the white-haired fox. He stared at it for a long time, and then saw the brand name on the body, and realized that it was his stupid brother.
Shu Lang: "You, what's going on?"
"Your Majesty," Yi Jingchen half-covered his face with his sleeves and said in a strangled voice, "I am truly a fox demon~"
"...Stop." Shu Lang gestured, "We are brothers, this is inappropriate. Besides, foxes are canines, and you are feline."
Yi Jingchen put himself in this situation and happily suggested, "Let's evolve together. You can become a golden retriever!"
"I refuse." Shu Lang shook his head vigorously. "Golden Retriever is too naive. How can he become stupider over time?"
"Then turn into a lion, turn into Pikachu!" Yi Jingchen became more and more excited as he spoke, and actually found a golden wig, "Brother, let's try it~"
Shu Lang felt his expectant look and couldn't bear to refuse, so he said stiffly, "If it's not suitable, you can take it."
"Okay~!" Yi Jingchen raised his hand and put the wig on Shu Lang's head.
[Shu Lang, just pamper him! ]
[Foolish Xiaochen, tell me, which one is a canine, the lion or Pikachu?]
[I finally understand why he had so few materials before. The stupid silver gradient guy is only handsome for three seconds, and his true nature will be exposed in the fourth second of the video.]
[Look at him, he doesn't seem to be able to seduce people. He just became a spirit, right? ]
[A little girl who was about to attend a handshake meeting that afternoon was slightly upset... I've already written the script for robbing and seizing, and you're telling me that the fox demon is a little idiot? ? ?]
[Hahahaha! I suddenly laughed with relief.]
