Entertainment: Who exactly is trying to whitewash me?

The sunlight outside the window had already begun to set in the west, and a ray of orange-red light peeked in through the gap in the curtains.

Lu Ang stood in the middle of the room and took a deep breath.

Darkness, give me a hundred consecutive pulls!

The system panel popped up, and the lottery interface unfolded before our eyes.

250,000 hater points!

This time, instead of slowly grinding through ten consecutive pulls, he directly pressed the button for a hundred consecutive pulls.

The moment the thought was pressed, the notification sound went off.

Ding ding ding ding ding ding.

A series of system notifications bombarded his mind. He stared at the rapidly scrolling text on the panel, holding his breath.

The first result popped up right in front of his eyes.

[Received: Beginner Singing Skill Ice Cream x1]

Singing skills ice cream.

Before Lu Ang could even process those four words, he had already slapped his thigh.

"Snapped!"

With a thud.

It's especially loud in an empty room.

His thigh was numb from being slapped, but his mouth was already wide open in a grin.

Good start!

Although he only adds a little at a time, for him, every little bit of singing skill is a stepping stone to improvement.

Even if it's just a little more, it's still a profit.

Looks like today's raffle will be a success.

My luck has turned!

……

……

……

Inside the director's room on the other side.

The monitor wall made Liu Xin's eyes feel a little sore.

But he was in a good mood.

He was staring intently at the screen in front of him.

Because the six pairs of guests were divided into three locations today, they were also presented with three screens.

The first scene shows Gu Yan and Lin Shishi.

The seaside cafe was brightly lit and the composition was clean. Gu Yan looked elegant just sitting there, and Lin Shishi's outfit today was indeed photogenic.

The second route is between Zhou Lei and Su Wanqing. The Japanese-style garden is quiet and peaceful, with bamboo shadows, wooden corridors, and stone lanterns. The whole scene exudes a sense of quality.

These two examples are perfect for making a promotional video.

"Not bad." Liu Xin tapped the screen. "Both of these routes can be switched separately."

Li Zhouneng nodded in agreement, "The visuals are quite good; the audience for dating reality shows should really like them."

Liu Xingang grunted in response and glanced at the data screen next to him.

Then the smile on his face froze.

wrong.

This data is incorrect.

He was very satisfied with these two scenes.

He was quite satisfied with the current situation. He had to admit that he was a genius for finding these two couples.

They all have such great chemistry as a couple.

Actually, he had researched all three couples he found for a long time, and only Lu Ang was temporarily inserted.

The main reason is that no one has been found who is a good match for Jiang Nian.

He needed to search slowly, but Gu Yan couldn't wait that long, so he could only find someone to fill the gap first, and Lu Ang happened to appear.

He planned to film three episodes, and during those three episodes, he would find a replacement for Lu Ang.

Or rather, find the guest who was originally supposed to be on the show.

But the current situation is not quite right.

Because he was very satisfied with these two couples and these two scenes.

The number of online users is not only low, but it is also declining.

And it's not the kind of fluctuation that just bounces back after a brief shake.

It was like watching it slide down.

He leaned forward a little and looked again, but it was still the same.

A staff member also came over and whispered to him, "Director Liu, both of these live streams have been dropping continuously since the beginning, and they haven't been able to get back online."

Liu Xin's brows immediately furrowed.

"fine."

Even after he said it, he felt a bit awkward, but he could only continue.

"Viewers may be hesitant right now, but they'll stay once they get into it. The visuals are so good, how could they not like it?"

Beside him, Li Zhou turned his head and glanced at him, but didn't say anything.

But his expression clearly showed disbelief.

Liu Xin pretended not to see it and stared at the data for a few more seconds.

The line was still grinding downwards, which annoyed him.

He picked up the cup next to him to take a sip of water, but as soon as the cup touched his lips, he realized it was a little hot.

The water was just poured out recently; he'd completely forgotten about it.

"It's not time to promote it yet."

He continued, "Once the promotion goes out, the traffic will naturally increase. Once viewers click in, they'll stay, right? After all, this is a dating reality show, it's clearly labeled as such."

He paused for a moment, then added another sentence.

"Right?"

Li Zhouneng sighed: "Director Liu, why don't you stop drinking for now?"

Liu Xin put the cup back, still forcing himself to say, "I'm fine, I just feel that the data shouldn't be like this."

That really shouldn't be the case.

The visuals are fine, the characters are fine, and the setting is fine.

Both of these couples have great chemistry.

Why can't we keep our employees?

Liu Xin stared at the screen for a moment, then suddenly asked, "What about the other side?"

The staff cut out the third channel.

Because I felt that nothing would happen between Lu Ang and Jiang Nian.

There won't be any scenes that create a romantic couple vibe, and Lu Ang will be replaced afterward.

So after they cut off Lu Ang and his partner, they didn't even look at them much.

And then, this scene appeared.

Liu Xin was taken aback for a moment.

In the kitchen, on the stove, steam rises from the pot.

Lu Ang was cooking, and Jiang Nian was washing vegetables next to him. The two of them chatted casually.

It's as ordinary as it gets. There's no sea view, no courtyard, no atmosphere, and it's not even worth mentioning in terms of design.

He glanced to the side and froze.

The number of online users on the third route.

It's the highest!

It's not just a little higher.

They completely left the first two routes behind.

Liu Xin's first reaction was whether there was a problem with the data.

"Have you checked it?"

He immediately looked at the staff member next to him, his tone full of disbelief.

The staff member quickly nodded: "It's been checked, Director Liu, no problem."

He read it again.

Still no problem.

The third route is still the highest.

Liu Xin opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word.

It feels like there's something stuck in my throat; I can't swallow it down or spit it out.

He just watched Lu Ang flipping the pot on the screen, then looked at the string of data next to him, and only one thought remained in his mind.

How did this show turn out like this?

Li Zhouneng was also dumbfounded.

The two looked at each other, neither of them able to manage a smile.

After a while, he managed to utter a sentence in a hoarse voice.

"This kid has completely steered the show astray."

Liu Xin remained silent for a long time before finally forcing a smile.

"It's okay, this is only temporary. Once the dating reality show progresses further, the audience will naturally come back to focus on the romance storyline."

Li Zhou opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but then lowered his head, clearly unable to bear seeing Liu Xin continue to hold on.

But Liu Xin had no choice.

He sighed and turned his head away.

I'm even a little afraid to look at the data.

……

……

……

When Lu Ang finished drawing the prizes and checked all the prizes one by one.

The light outside the window has changed.

The sun had sunk behind the building, leaving only a layer of dark red afterglow filtering through the edge of the curtains on the horizon.

The orange-red light turned dark red, as if someone had slowly turned down the brightness knob.

The air conditioner was still humming, and I had developed a layer of fine goosebumps on my arms without realizing it.

The temperature is set too low!

Lu Ang let out a long breath, relaxed his shoulders, leaned back, and fell directly onto the bed.

My back hit the mattress and bounced.

Doing a hundred consecutive draws is fucking inhuman.

One hundred times.

The system prompts keep popping up one by one, and you have to keep an eye on them, afraid of missing out on something good, but also afraid of just receiving thank yous all the time.

Several times, he received three or four consecutive "thank you for participating" messages, which almost made him want to smash the control panel.

Later, he simply stopped standing and sat on the edge of the bed, placing his hands on his knees and watching the words roll down line by line.

It's finally over now.

The echo of the notification sound still lingered in my ears, like someone had rung a hundred bells in my head and then suddenly stopped.

But even with all this hardship, it was worth it.

Lu Ang stared at the ceiling, a smile playing on his lips.

Because this time, we really made a killing.

He drew a product that could be considered the deciding factor.

Tenfold upgrade coupon for singing practice!

If you practice singing diligently, using this coupon will increase your singing practice effectiveness tenfold.

Although it can only be bound to one song.

And you have to practice on your own.

But that's ten times!

ten times!

In the afternoon, he practiced each note in the bathroom, going through it several times before he could barely keep it steady.

If he uses this coupon, practicing once is equivalent to practicing ten times, and he can do in one day what others do in many days.

This is no longer a matter of being faster.

With this coupon, his singing practice efficiency jumped significantly.

He originally thought it would take a long time to hone his singing skills and get a singer's certificate.

But with this coupon, as long as you find a reliable teacher and use the right methods, you can succeed.

How fast can it be?

He couldn't even think about it.

Moreover, he drew a total of 12 of these singing practice tickets!

He can enjoy 10x the progress and enjoy it 12 times!

Lu Ang rolled over in bed, buried his face in the pillow, and chuckled softly.

Of course, some other things were also won in this lottery.

But don't rush to remember this; my mind is still sharp right now. I'll review it later.

The most important thing is still the coupon.

He lifted his face from the pillow, turned over, and began to calculate again.

My singing skills are still terrible. I'm a 39D, but if I eat a few more ice creams, I'll be in the 40s.

He's still a long way from being a proper singer.

That means I'm even further away from getting a singer's certificate.

But with these 10x coupons, the whole strategy becomes clear.

After the first phase ended.

He first spent some time taking classes to improve his singing skills for one of the songs.

If you have time, record it yourself; if not, find someone else to record it.

Record "Sorrow" or "A Person Like Me", get 10,000 real paid downloads, and obtain the Level 1 Creator qualification.

For the remaining 11 tickets, we can find other vocal teachers between the second and third phases.

Once the tenfold effect is activated, we'll see how far we progress.

But it will definitely be many times better than it is now.

Use coupons to record songs, find teachers, and take the singer's certificate exam.

Every step of the route is clear.

He couldn't help but laugh again.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Three tones, neither too loud nor too soft.

The rhythm in the middle intervals is not very even.

It's like the person knocking on the door hesitated for a moment after the first knock before continuing.

Lu Ang sat up in bed, his shoulder blades cracking twice, and his neck was also a little uncomfortable.

I wasn't paying attention to my posture when I was practicing singing in the bathroom this afternoon, and my muscles were stiff from lying in bed for too long.

"Knock knock knock!"

The knocking continued three times.

This time the pace was more even.

"They're here."

Lu Ang walked to the door in his slippers and turned the doorknob.

Jiang Nian was standing outside the door.

The wall lights in the corridor were already on, casting a warm yellow glow on her shoulders.

She stood at the door, her hand still in the position of knocking again, but when she saw Lu Ang open the door, she lowered her hand and wiped it on her pants.

"What's wrong?"

"It's time for dinner."

As she spoke, her gaze drifted away from Lu Ang's face and landed on the wall lamp in the corridor.

He gently hooked his fingers along the seam of his trousers.

He looked like he'd done something wrong.

Despite his efforts to conceal it, Lu Ang still saw through it.

Lu Ang glanced at the corridor behind her; it was empty.

There was no sound from downstairs.

"Has the others returned?"

She shook her head, her hair swaying over her shoulder.

This little girl just had fried noodles with eggs this morning, and she's already thinking about dinner this afternoon. She's so greedy!

But he was also hungry.

"Let's go down and see what we can do."

Lu Ang stepped out of the room and closed the door behind him.

Jiang Nian had already turned and walked towards the stairwell, her steps noticeably lighter than before.

Lu Ang followed behind, watching her ponytail sway back and forth with each step.

As she reached the corner of the stairs, she suddenly turned back and glanced at him, her mouth opening and closing as if she wanted to say something but then swallowed it back.

What did you do this afternoon?

She finally asked.

Lu Ang thought she was going to ask about something important.

"Just stay in your room and sleep. Knock on the door when you wake up."

He yawned as he said this.

My throat is still a bit dry, but I can't say what I did.

It's not the time to talk about practicing singing.

Jiang Nian said "oh" and turned to continue downstairs.

The two had just entered the living room, and hadn't even reached the kitchen, when the front door opened.

At the same time, there was a sound of the door being pushed open from the outside, the hinges turning twice, and then opening together.

The footsteps of the two groups of people surged in together, their rhythms on the marble floor completely different.

Lu Ang subconsciously looked up and glanced at it.

Gu Yan walked at the front, his tie slightly loosened.

He had a smile on his face, but the curve of that smile was a little off.

I can't quite put my finger on what's wrong, but it's just not the same as before I left home.

But Lin Shishi is different.

Lin Shishi followed him in, her high heels clicking steadily.

No, it's more stable than when you go out.

Although her skirt was a little wrinkled, her chin was slightly raised, and the smile in her eyes was impossible to hide.

She glanced around the living room, her gaze lingering on Jiang Nian's face for a moment.

Jiang Nian called out, "Sister Shi Shi."

Lin Shishi hummed in response, the tone of which rose slightly, somewhat like the ending note of a hum.

This clearly shows how good Lin Shishi's mood is right now.

That is indeed the case.

Lin Shishi was very happy.

Because she felt that she had performed exceptionally well on today's date!

Really, it's not that she's narcissistic.

From the moment she sat down at the seaside cafe, she knew that the entire day's rhythm was in her hands.

Gu Yan is a somewhat reserved person.

She already knew that, but today she found him even more boring than she had imagined.

When he was ordering coffee, he looked at the menu for a long time without saying anything, so she ordered it for him.

Blue Mountain, no sugar added.

This was something Lin Shishi had specifically inquired about regarding Gu Yan's preferences.

And when she finished ordering the coffee.

Gu Yan looked up at her.

She knew that look in her eyes all too well.

The expression clearly showed that she had been taken care of, but was too embarrassed to say thank you.
