Chapter 94 Is This Shura Field?
The story begins after the second public performance -
As the chaotic second public performance ended, the third episode was broadcast on the platform as scheduled.
According to System 999's retelling, the main content of the third episode is the grouping before the start of the first public performance and the trainees' daily training.
Xia Linxing originally thought that these contents sounded quite ordinary and there should be no problem; however, not long after the third episode was broadcast, Xia Linxing became a hot topic, and Shen Sibai was brought along with her.
——This is also why the system determined that Xia Linxing’s mission was completed:
In the original novel, Chen Sibai became popular because "Xia Linxing" tampered with his in-ear monitor, forcing Shen Sibai to take off the malfunctioning in-ear monitor and continue performing during the performance, which made it a hot topic. It was "Xia Linxing" who failed to gain the attention of Shen Sibai.
Essentially speaking, the popularity of Shen Sibai in the original novel was actually caused by "Xia Linxing".
So strictly speaking, completing this task requires two conditions: 1. Xia Linxing sabotages; 2. Chen Sibai becomes a hot topic (with Xia Linxing's "help") and gains popularity.
And now, the reason why Shen Sibai became a hot topic after the third episode was brought up by Xia Linxing - in essence, it was also caused by Xia Linxing.
In addition, the system verified that Xia Linxing had indeed completed the step of "tampering with Shen Sibai's in-ear monitor" (although Boyang destroyed it), so whether it was the sabotage required in the first place or the result that Shen Sibai became a hot topic, Xia Linxing's task was completed.
——Don’t worry about how it went viral, just tell me whether it went viral or not.jpg
As for... why Xia Linxing became a hot search together with Shen Sibai... we have to mention the third person in this hot search - Zhao Jian.
That’s right, this time it wasn’t the CP that Xia Linxing initially thought about him and Shen Sibai - "Bai Ye Linxing" was on the hot search again (although Xia Linxing didn’t think there was anything good about it), this time there were three people on the hot search.
And the hot search terms this time... are also quite special——
It’s called “#Is this Shura Field#”.
"A Shura Field?" Xia Linxing looked genuinely bewildered.
This word...does it have anything to do with him, Shen Sibai, or Zhao Jian?
"Let me see..." System 999, humanity's attentive assistant, immediately began flipping through the entries. After a moment, it suddenly realized something.
"So that's how it is..."
This time's hot search is different from the previous one. I don't know if the program crew learned the lesson from the last episode (deliberately cutting out the shot of Shen Sibai and Xia Linxing in the same frame, causing CP fans to find the cut content from the reflection in the mirror and start to ship them), so the main content released this time has not been edited too much.
——At least, the program content that brought Xia Linxing and the other two people to the hot search was basically not edited and was put up in its entirety.
This segment is exactly the one where Zhao Jian and Shen Sibai, two trainees from Class A, both tried to grab Xia Linxing during the first performance grouping.
Prompted by System 999, Xia Linxing tried hard to recall what happened that day.
This seems... nothing special... Xia Linxing tried hard to recall it from beginning to end, but was still very puzzled: Aren’t Zhao Jian and Shen Sibai just his good friends, and they both invited him to join their group?
What's wrong with that? He remembered that there were other trainees behind him who were being fought over by both groups...
"emmmmmm..." System 999 was silent for a moment, not knowing how to convey the netizens' "evil" quotes to its dear child.
After all, when these people saw Shen Sibai and Zhao Jian "fighting" (System 999 quoted the original words of the netizens who were interested in fun), they all shouted excitedly:
"This show...is it really so exciting?"
"Whoa... Fight, fight!"
"Neither of them is willing to give in... Hehe, is this the Shura Field?! I love it, I love watching it!"
"Hello, isn't this a talent show? I thought I clicked on the dating show next door..."
"No...isn't this just a normal trainee fight? Why are you so excited?"
"The guy above doesn't understand at first glance (shakes his head)! Look at the eyes! Look at the eyes! Can you compare it with other groups when they're fighting over people? Do they also have such lingering eyes?!"
"New here, can anyone tell me what this sought-after trainee's abilities are? Why is he so popular..."
"Ask Xia Linxing, she needs both good singing skills and good dancing skills..."
"Ah...what are these two trainees fighting over?"
"So, this is what love is! Other trainees choose people based on their abilities and what suitable positions are left in their groups... Only Shen Sibai and Zhao Jian don't care about anything else, they only want 'Xia Linxing' as a person... Think about it! Think about it carefully!"
"...Zhao Jian and Xia Linxing? No, how did these two get together? I haven't seen them interacting before... Is there any background information?"
"Before, I disdained Bai Ye Lin Xing, but now I'm really into this three-person Shura Field! It turns out that the triangle is the most stable shape!"
"Listen to me, if the three of you live a good life, that's better than anything else..."
"I'm saying there's a spark between Xia Linxing and Zhao Jian! People used to say this couple was weird! What's so weird about this couple?! I really urge everyone who hasn't seen the behind-the-scenes footage of Xia Linxing's debut preparations to check it out. In the footage, Zhao Jian gave Xia Linxing one-on-one guidance on his debut song~"
"Stop fighting! I'm declaring this—you three can become a team! The production team shouldn't be so rigid... It's obviously more interesting to see these three together!"
"Okay, okay... you're all just couple-brained, right?"
"You have to be a CP. Otherwise, with Xia Linxing's strength, what is there for Zhao Jian and Shen Sibai to fight for? They are not even in the same company as Xia Linxing. There is no way to explain it by leading people from their own company..."
"Tsk tsk... Is this the 'Daji of the Starry Journey'?! The heartthrob literature has become reality!"
…
Under the enthusiastic "relay" of System 999, Xia Linxing learned his new name: "..."
No, why is this...
Xia Linxing's little head was filled with questions: Where on earth did he, a cannon fodder for the fake young master in a true and fake young master story, come from... and why were there so many inexplicable love lines?!
Isn't he here to be a stumbling block in the protagonist's career? Has anyone ever seen a love story designed for a roadside stumbling block?!
Xia Linxing had originally thought that the fact that he and the protagonist's top and bottom had their own separate CP topics was...outrageous enough. Unexpectedly, he actually had a three-way Shura Field relationship?!
Huh? Is this really something he can have? Is this allowed?
The only thing that made Xia Linxing feel relieved was the Shura field plot among the three people, which came to an end when Xia Linxing (in the show) chose Chen Sibai instead.
Amid the disappointed wails of fans of the newly emerged "Zhao Jian X Xia Linxing (too new, the CP name hasn't been chosen yet)" CP, the "love drama" of Shura Field came to an end.
After listening to System 999's retelling, Xia Linxing was obviously relieved.
But he obviously relaxed a little too early - because although the Shura Field was gone, the CP fans of "Bai Ye Lin Xing" began to dance wildly.
The reason they danced wildly was, firstly, because Xia Linxing firmly (from the perspective of CP fans) chose Shen Sibai during the reverse selection in the first public group, and secondly, because when the parts were divided, Xia Linxing and Shen Sibai competed for the same part.
Xia Linxing was very confused: Isn't this a very obvious conflict plot? When he and Shen Sibai were fighting, he was obviously going for Shen Sibai's things (although it was not his original intention). How could this... this also be a joke?
However, the views of CP fans are obviously different from Xia Linxing's -
"Oh my god, this part is so good..."
"As the leader, Xiaobai chose the worst part for the sake of the team, while Xingxing, for Xiaobai's sake, superficially competed with Xiaobai for the part, but actually wanted to give the better part to Shen Sibai... Wuwuwuwu... Both of them are so considerate of others..."
"I'm dying of laughter! Look at the shocked looks on the other trainees' faces. It's hilarious... They couldn't believe there were people fighting over the worst part... and they were refusing to give in!"
"The other trainees suddenly felt that the center position was boring."
"And Zhou Xubai's reaction was hilarious too. He instinctively thought Shen Sibai and Xia Linxing were fighting for C. Hahaha... It really is true that prejudice in people's hearts is as huge as a mountain..."
"Hahaha, I took a screenshot of Zhou Xubai's speechless expression. Thanks to Xia Linxing, I have a new emoticon pack..."
"If this isn't love (sing)~"
…
Because of the crazy dancing of CP fans, the CP topic of Xia Linxing and Shen Sibai became a hot search again. Although it was not as popular as the "Ashura Field" hot search, it also attracted the attention of some passers-by.
After two waves of hot searches, it was no surprise that Xia Linxing's popularity soared again, allowing Xia Linxing, whose ranking was on the verge of elimination last time, to move up a few places and successfully advance.
The "data anomaly" on Xia Linxing's side... obviously also attracted the attention of the program crew who had been paying attention to the effect after the program was broadcast.
"This Xia Linxing... is truly amazing..." A staff member flipped through the rankings and said, "His ranking is always on the brink of elimination, but every time he becomes a trending topic before the voting closes, which then attracts a new wave of votes, helping him maintain his position."
"Tsk tsk..." The staff member sighed with emotion: "He's really lucky..."
Another staff member chimed in: "Maybe that's what some people call... a physique suitable for variety shows?"
"Look, some people aren't popular when they sing, and they're not popular when they act, but as soon as they participate in a variety show, they become instantly famous... Isn't Xia Linxing very similar?"
After all, everyone in the program team probably knew that Xia Linxing was a pure amateur before, so he was not very good at singing and dancing; everyone originally thought that this young master would come here to play for two rounds and then leave, but unexpectedly, Xia Linxing's popularity was unexpectedly good.
If it was the first episode, the production team was intentionally creating trouble, but in the following episodes they were very honest and did not edit randomly at all. All they put in were the real training content and daily life of the trainees.
But even so, Xia Linxing can still stand out with all kinds of wonderful "postures" and attract attention to himself.
——This may be the chosen variety show system party!
But the director was a little worried.
He looked at the entries related to Xia Linxing on the hot searches and felt like his eyebrows were about to fall off due to worry.
How should I put it... He has filmed other talent show variety shows before, but in other talent shows, the production team worked hard for half a day to design the "love lines" and CP selling points between the trainees, but the audience didn't buy it at all, and complained that their intention to "sell" was a bit too obvious.
As a result, now... after he promised Xie Tinglan not to go the route of hype, why are the audiences happily following suit?
And there are several pairs at a time!
There is also a Xia Linxing in every pair!
No, what kind of charm does Xia Linxing have?!
In order to divert the audience's attention, they deliberately cut out the shot of Xia Linxing and Shen Sibai in the same frame. The audience saw it from the reflection of the mirror and found a "reasonable" excuse for their production team - they said that their production team was afraid that "Bai Ye Linxing" was too real, so they deliberately cut out the shot to circumvent the review.
The director was so angry!
So this time, he carefully learned from his last lesson and openly put the footage of Shen Sibai and Xia Linxing in the official program without any cuts. The result was good -
The audience is even more excited about the CP!
Even Shura Field is here!
Isn’t this really a topic that can be discussed in today’s online environment?!
Sometimes directors are really afraid that these funny people and the audience will talk too much and end up getting their shows pulled.
Anyway, now, the director really doesn't know what to do next——
If he cuts the scenes, the audience will find the sweet spots from the clues themselves; if he doesn't cut the scenes, the audience will be even more excited.
He didn't know how to face Xie Tinglan.
After all, he had solemnly promised Xie Tinglan that their show would not do anything to deliberately sell CPs and hype up the show.
As a result, now... let alone Xia Linxing's "love line (CP)" that is added in each episode, Xia Linxing and Xie Tinglan alone have a CP topic!
Oh my God!
The director collapsed and hit the table with his head: How on earth was he going to explain this to Xie Tinglan?
The only thing he could be thankful for was that Xie Tinglan was not at the filming base, which gave him time to come up with a suitable excuse.
…
However, Xie Tinglan, who was deeply concerned by the director and was not at the base, was now driving back to Xie's house.
