Huayu: Starting with binding the front desk

On set, just after the previous contestant left the stage, Wang Zhe had not yet appeared.

Zhang Doudou picked up the cue card, glanced at it, and exclaimed excitedly, "Mimi, you'll definitely be looking forward to the performance of the next contestant, and you've definitely heard his songs before!"

"Yeah?"

Yang Mi curiously leaned closer to take a look at the contents of the card, and her eyes immediately lit up.

"Really? I'm a fan of his, I even listened to his songs last night."

Of course, the two of them knew from the beginning that it belonged to Wang Zhe, and their current behavior was just for the sake of the show.

As soon as Wang Zhe finished his self-introduction, Yang Mi eagerly raised the microphone.

"Little brother, can you sign my autograph later? I'm a big fan of yours."

Zhang Doudou pretended to be serious and gently nudged her: "Honey, we're recording a show, you're the mentor."

Wang Zhe smiled faintly: "If Sister Mi wants it, of course you can."

"Then I'll take a few too."

Zhang Doudou immediately switched sides and joined the ranks of the fans.

Wang Zhe knew perfectly well that this was all for the sake of the variety show, and he simply nodded slightly.

Another guest, "Bad Sister," asked, "Why did you choose this name?"

The contestants on "The Coming One" all give themselves nicknames, such as "Superstar" Mao Buyi, while Wang Zhe's is "Top Star".

"There's no special reason. 'Top star' is more of a derogatory term for me right now."

Wang Zhe answered quite frankly, even giving a self-deprecating laugh.

He currently has a lot of online traffic, but lacks substantial achievements and endorsements to justify his reputation.

The LPL has a "virtual champion," and the Chinese entertainment industry also has a "virtual top star."

Yang Mi then picked up the microphone and said earnestly, "But in my heart, you are the top young star."

She changed the subject abruptly, asking in a lighthearted tone, "We all know you have creative talent, so why did you choose the beauty filter track?"

Wang Zhe smiled slyly: "Sister Mi, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"I want to hear them all."

"The lie is that Honey might be my senior at the Beijing Film Academy, so of course I'd choose the 'Stunning Beauty' track..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yang Mi interrupted him.

  

"Alright, that's the truth. I don't need to hear any lies."

She said this with her chin slightly raised, exuding an air of undeniable authority.

Zhang Doudou, however, seemed to enjoy the drama and added, "I still want to hear your truth."

Wang Zhe shrugged helplessly and said, "To be honest, I feel like I'm a good match for Shengshi Meiyan."

Yang Mi looked at him with a hint of resentment and slowly said, "Didn't you come to Shengshi Meiyan because of me?"

One of the "bad sisters" said very seriously, "I feel that you are more suitable for the 'Prosperous Era' track. Your creative talent is more outstanding."

"Shall I leave?" Wang Zhe joked.

Zhang Doudou quickly waved her hand: "Then there's no need for that. Since we're already here, let's sing a song before we leave."

After the interviews, the contestants began their performances.

As the accompaniment began, Wang Zhe grasped the microphone and started singing.

Received a message that requires a prompt reply

Then I'll consider whether or not to respond to you...

This time, he chose a sweet little song called "East and West," which was released in 18 and became a hit across the internet.

Now it's 17, so it naturally became his original work. Actually, he has other better songs in his current copyright library, but it's just a newcomer competition, so there's no need to take it seriously.

Wang Zhe is blessed with the title of "succubus of timbre," making his live performances even more captivating than his recorded ones. The texture of his voice possesses a unique charm that is mesmerizing.

Yang Mi narrowed her eyes slightly, a smile appeared on her lips, and her body swayed gently to the rhythm. When she saw Wang Zhe wink, she was so excited that she made a heart shape with her hands.

"My beautiful encounter begins, you come from the East or the West..."

As the last note faded, Wang Zhe bowed slightly to express his gratitude.

Yang Mi picked up the microphone, her voice even softer than before: "Little brother, this song is so sweet, I feel like I'm falling in love."

Wang Zhe watched as her eyes kept flashing at him, and he felt a chill run down his spine.

"Honey, be careful what you say and do."

Zhang Doudou knew that this "enemy's sweetheart" was getting shy again, so she quickly teased, "Wang Zhe, just sing well, don't flirt with the judges, look how much our sweethearts are bewitched."

Yang Mi wasn't embarrassed at all by her infatuated expression just now, and calmly gave a "666" gesture.

The mental fortitude of a seasoned artist is on full display at this moment.

Zhang Doudou loudly announced, "Let's congratulate Wang Zhe on successfully obtaining '666' and advancing to the next round."

The day's recording has come to an end.

As Wang Zhe and Yang Yang were about to leave, Yang Mi came looking for them.

"Little brother, want to go grab a bite to eat?"

"Sister Honey, I'm sorry, I have an appointment today. Maybe next time."

Wang Zhe wasn't making excuses; he genuinely had an appointment.

"Oh, is that so? Who did you meet? Do I know them?"

Yang Mi clearly wasn't planning to give up easily; judging from her expression, it seemed she might even want to go with them if she knew them.

Wang Zhe really wanted to say it was Brother Hu, to see if she would still go.

But then he thought about the person who invited him out today, and how Yang Mi was considered a "good friend," and that he might even need her help.

"It's Director Guo from 'Tiny Times,' Honey, do you want to come along?" Wang Zhe invited Yang Mi.

"Little Four?"

Yang Mi paused for a moment, then nodded decisively, "Of course we'll go together."

She knew all too well what Guo Jingming's quirks and preferences were.

She needs to keep an eye on Wang Zhe's safety during tonight's meal.

The location was booked by Guo Xiaosi; it was a private restaurant deep in an old alley.

It offers excellent privacy, and many of the top female celebrities who frequent the area like to come here for late-night snacks around 2 a.m.

Wang Zhe pushed open the door to the private room and went straight in.

As soon as Guo Jingming saw Wang Zhe enter, he stood up and warmly pulled out the chair next to him.

"Xiao Zhe, come sit here with me."

When Wang Zhe heard "Xiao Zhe," he felt nauseous.

He stepped aside to make way for Yang Mi behind him, and said with a smile, "Sister Mi, Director Guo is so thoughtful. He knew you were coming and even prepared a seat for you."

Yang Mi didn't stand on ceremony and sat down directly.

Wang Zhe calmly sat down next to Yang Mi, leaving Guo Jingming on the opposite side.

He explained with a smile, "Director Guo, I don't know anything about film collaborations. Let my agent talk to you about it."

Yang Yangjin then sat down on the other side of Guo Jingming, giving the short guy no chance to react.

She was fully aware of Wang Zhe's arrangements.

Guo Jingming felt a sudden emptiness in his heart. He looked at Yang Mi and asked, "Mi Mi, what brings you here?"

Yang Mi looked at him with a smile: "I just finished recording a show with my younger brother, and when I heard you were treating us to dinner, we came over together. What, aren't you happy to see me?"

Guo Jingming gave a forced smile, inwardly wondering: What's up with this "stinky feet simp"? Is the man at home useless, so she's craving a young, handsome man?

"Mimi, let's switch seats. I want to talk to Xiao Zhe about a movie collaboration," he said directly.

"What, are you afraid I'll eavesdrop? Let's just chat like this."

Yang Mi wouldn't back down an inch; as his "best friend," she knew him all too well.

The reason Wang Zhe brought Yang Mi along was precisely to guard against this situation.

He strongly suspected that the short man wanted to chisel himself.

Since adding him on WeChat, he's been sending messages more frequently than Xiaotian. However, because of his background, he doesn't dare to be forceful, so he resorts to this kind of gentle persuasion.

Wang Zhe didn't want to have any physical contact with him.

It's like a toad crawling on your foot; it doesn't bite, but it's disgusting.
