Why bother writing songs? Fast forward to the "Don't Laugh Challenge"

Chapter 30 Fleece-lined Shake

Another video scrolled onto Xiao Zhongge's screen. It featured a sexy and revealing female blogger with a slightly plump figure, a charming face, and shapely, straight thighs in black stockings—exactly the type that suited Xiao Zhongge's taste perfectly.

This blogger is one he often follows. Even though the platform changed from Douyin and Kuaishou to Bilibili, he still follows the blogger and basically never misses any of their videos.

Overall rating: Very easy to use.

And clearly, what he was watching now was the dance video that the other party had just updated.

Similarly, as soon as he came across it, he immediately added the video to his favorites.

Then the video started. As the female anchor raised her hand high, she pretended to slap herself in the face, then showed an expression similar to ahegao (a Japanese expression for a woman), and quickly turned her head to look at the camera with a sly smile, and started shaking her head.

Then a look of disgust flashed across his face.

"I used to miss that darkness—every morning."

"It once blocked every dream, every door."

With a sway and a shake, her figure was graceful and elegant.

This slap landed squarely on Xiao Zhongge's heart.

Yes, yes, yes! That's the feeling! That's the taste!

Xiao Zhongge probably didn't even realize that at this moment, his breathing became a little rapid, and his eyes involuntarily moved down, staring at the ankles of others covered by black stockings.

My mind was still wandering.

You must have been wearing this all day, right?

And they're ankle boots.

He couldn't even imagine how delicious it would be.

Xiao Zhongge immediately left a comment on the screen: "Mommy Mommy Mommy Mommy!"

As the female anchor's dance moves progressed, she waved her hands in a circle, then brought her two delicate hands together, and slowly pulled them apart to the beat of the music. The camera blurred for a moment, and combined with her smile, it gave people a feeling of unease.

"Finally, it's also possible—infinite possibilities—freedom can happen!"

Finally, with two chest shakes to finish, the entire dance officially ended in just 17 seconds.

Although there was still one thing that puzzled Xiao Zhongge, he vaguely felt that the voice of the person singing this song was a little familiar.

It's that feeling of "I feel like I've heard it somewhere before," and it has to be something he remembers vividly; otherwise, he definitely wouldn't remember what a singer's voice sounds like.

But if you ask him to think carefully, he really can't remember who it is for a while.

"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore!"

Xiao Zhongge impatiently cleared his mind and glanced out of the bed.

With a 'whoosh,' the curtains were pulled shut again, and the bed began to creak.

Several minutes later, the bed curtains were pulled open again.

Satisfied, Xiao Zhongge lay on the bed with his legs crossed, continuing to browse the internet as if nothing had happened.

Then, after browsing through a few more similar posts and leaving a bunch of comments like, "Mommy, Mommy, Little XX is definitely still a female chef, right? You're not allowed to make any dirty jokes about her [crying]", I added a bunch of favorites before finally stopping.

Looks like a new trend has emerged recently, this "fleece-lined shake" thing is really popular.
The self-slapping scene is especially captivating, isn't it? If the female lead knew how to do it and had good facial expression control, it would be incredibly exciting and entertaining.

However, setting aside the video, it's impossible for him to listen to this kind of song.

But strangely enough, he no longer feels angry or resistant when he hears this kind of song again.

He even felt a little bit of excitement? He even wanted to look back again? Even though he had already entered another stage of sainthood.

How is this going?

Could it be that he's starting to find this kind of lowbrow entertainment interesting?

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Xiao Zhongge waved his hand, first eliminating the wrong answer.
How could that be? This kind of song is not something people like him would listen to; it's too low-class.

He must have misjudged the situation!

Xiao Zhongge gave a rather forced smile.

To avoid letting his mind wander and potentially draw some terrible conclusions, he immediately closed the app.

"Alright, let's call it a day. Let's play games first!"

Valorant, activate!
Unlike Xiao Zhongge's side.

Meanwhile, at the same time, a meeting was being held at the Prosperous Flower Entertainment Co., Ltd. in Beijing.

If any fan who follows the entertainment industry were here, they would easily recognize that the most eye-catching person in this meeting is the handsome young man sitting on a sofa in the far corner.

He doesn't need to sit at the conference table, because the meeting is for him.

Because this man is none other than Xiao Jianci, one of the most popular new generation male actors right now!

He is also the male lead actor in the upcoming hit drama, "The Legend of the Immortals and Demons"!
And Fan Hua Entertainment is none other than Xiao Jianci's management company, and Xiao Jianci belongs to Fan Hua Entertainment! It is also a well-known high-end artist management company in the industry!

The topic of the meeting is also very clear.

The PowerPoint presentation projected onto the large screen was titled: "Next Steps in Xiao Jianci's Operations and Film/TV Promotion."

"At this stage, the new drama is about to be released and is now in the promotion and distribution phase. This is a great opportunity for us. As the lead actor, if Kenji can frequently appear in the public eye during this period, it will have a very good effect on his personal image management and popularity."

As the agent next to the leader spoke, everyone below began to whisper among themselves.

Then someone asked, "So the question is, how should we operate this? Are we going to buy trending topics again? But we just bought them once recently. If we buy them again, what keywords should we use this time?"

The agent paused for a moment before looking at Xiao Jianci sitting to the side: "Jianci, have you been injured anywhere recently? If so, I'll call an ambulance right away, and we can start filming on set."

Xiao Jianci shook his head: "No."

"And your dog? How's he doing lately?" the agent asked, frowning.

“Very good,” Xiao Jianci continued, “and this was already used last month.”

"Hiss," the agent frowned.

This is a problem.

But at that moment, Xiao Jianci spoke up: "But I've been practicing dancing recently."

He said helplessly, "In my opinion, if we keep refreshing the public's impression in this way, although we will make an impression, it will also give some netizens a bad impression, right? There is no need to do this. It makes me seem very fragile, and then every trivial matter takes up public resources."

Why don't we try a different approach, a different way of thinking? Let's use a more down-to-earth method. This way, we can appear in the public eye and also get closer to each other. For example, my Douyin and Kuaishou accounts haven't posted a single video since I joined.

Leaving it empty all the time is not good, there's no need to do that. It makes fans feel that we are distant. Actually, this style hasn't been very effective in recent years.

Why don't we film some things that the public likes, like dancing, and post them to the public?

This is his idea.

In fact, he also disliked some of the company's operational plans.

But as I said before, sometimes it's not up to the artist to decide what to do. There are too many factors to consider. Generally speaking, an artist has to follow the company's arrangements. You have to do whatever the company tells you to do.

Moreover, many meaningless trending topics are basically for one purpose: to refresh the public's attention and appear frequently in the public eye so as not to be forgotten so quickly.

In earlier years, he probably wouldn't have had the right to speak on such matters, because he was a nobody.

But now he has made a name for himself and has a voice in the matter.

He wanted to try it out based on his own ideas.

"For example, I think that song 'Fleece-lined Rock' that suddenly became very popular these past few days is pretty good. You can dance to it. It's that one, 'I Once Missed So Dark, Every Morning.'"
