After gender swapping, my best friend and I hardcore BL (Boys' Love) became top influencers.

Today is the day the latest episode is released.

In real-time talent shows, both the trainees and their companies pay close attention to the specific details of each episode to keep track of public opinion.

Ling Tinglan and Jiao Wangshu were no exception; as soon as the program went live, they secretly took out their phones to watch it.

The main episode aired about a week later than the recording time, so this latest episode will mainly consist of their daily practice and eliminations from the first performance.

How can I put it? Actually, seeing yourself through a screen is a very novel experience.

Most people would feel awkward watching from a third-person perspective, which is why many celebrities don't even watch the movies, TV series, or variety shows they've acted in.

However, Ling Tinglan and Jiao Wangshu do not have such troubles.

They had been women for over twenty years, and hadn't even gotten used to this new persona for more than a few months. Seeing themselves on screen was almost like seeing a stranger. As long as they didn't consciously try to connect it to what their sisters actually looked like underneath the costume, they accepted it quite well.

Besides, they didn't have many scenes in the main film to begin with.

Ling Tinglan, covered with a quilt and carrying many snacks, was calling out to Jiao Wangshu to hurry up and hide inside as well.

To this, Jiao Wangshu could only cover her face and say: I don't really want to talk to this idiot, what should I do?

If you call him stupid, he knows to cover his face with a blanket so he won't be caught on camera while secretly looking at a phone; if you call him smart, even a fool would know there's something fishy about covering his face with a tattered blanket under a bright camera lens.

"You think you're watching a TV series?"

"Isn't that right?"

Ling Tinglan tilted her head, tore open another bag of Doritos, and said, "You know, this talent show is actually pretty good. You're my favorite on the show right now, and I'm using two accounts every day to vote for you~"

Jiao Wangshu nearly choked on her words. "I told you to participate in the talent show, and you've become a national producer, huh? Don't vote! What if we both actually debut in the end?!"

Ling Tinglan waved her hand dismissively, "Huh? Us? We don't face any risk of debuting ╮(╯_╰)╭."

"Besides, our Jiaojiao has improved so much, what's wrong with getting two more votes!"

As he spoke, he playfully raised his large fan and gave Jiao Wangshu a heartfelt confession: "Oh~ Jiao Jiao! Mommy loves you!!!"

"Get out of here, we don't accept motherly fans."

Jiao Wangshu, with her aloof and arrogant demeanor, watched Ling Tinglan's antics with a blank expression, but in the end, urged by him, she still hid under the covers with him.

The gamble was that the production team wouldn't include those two nobodys in the final cut.

Ling Tinglan opened the video and swiped to play the theme song. It was the same sound that was their alarm clock every morning, and they were so tired of hearing it.

Scenes of the ranking announcement flashed by quickly, accompanied by the trainees' tear-streaked faces and the sound of crying in the background.

The atmosphere during the first elimination round was so heavy and sad that the editing made it almost suffocating.

Even Ling Tinglan and Jiao Wangshu, who had already experienced the real scene and knew the final elimination results, were still on tenterhooks due to the atmosphere.

The emotional buildup unfolds layer by layer.

In the video, PD Kang appears serious, announcing, "I hereby announce that the final trainee to advance is—"

The final outcome was still unknown, but the screen suddenly went black.

The video then abruptly shifts in style, transitioning from a "battle royale" scenario to a "light comedy segment" accompanied by light and melodious music.

The screen, which was originally filled with densely packed comments from fans, displaying various names and expressing their anticipation, has now been replaced by a screen full of question marks.

[VV Video, tell me honestly, where did you learn editing?]

[Just put the eliminated scenes in the end credits!]

[I hadn't even wiped away my tears when I saw my little rascal standing on that platform, and then this happened.]

Look in my eyes! If you keep cutting like this, I'm really going to have someone deal with you!

……

But no matter what, the progress bar continues.

As they continued watching, the first thing they saw was a very strange mosquito's perspective.

With dark eyes and short hair, it was impossible to tell who it was. After a few seconds, the person's nose and cheeks slowly came into view.

They then recognized him as Lu Chen, Ji Yan's teammate from the same company.

Jiao Wangshu suddenly remembered that this seemed to be the "wake-up call project" that the production team had done before.

His heart jumped into his throat. The "wake-up call target" of this "wake-up call project" was ostensibly decided by lottery, but in reality, it was arranged entirely according to popularity and the contestants to be promoted.

They grouped the couples they wanted to promote together, letting those with lower popularity get screen time from those with higher popularity; the rest of the less popular couples were grouped together, and those not promoted by the production team were grouped together for easy editing.

Ling Tinglan and Jiao Wangshu are not the main focus of the program, but their current CP popularity is quite good, which can help the program attract viewers, so they have also recorded this part.

They both tried to recall what had happened, but nothing particularly unusual should have occurred at the time.

Never mind, let's keep watching.

"I'm so nervous."

Lu Chen walked around with his vlog camera, speaking into the microphone, "It's only 7 a.m. now."

As if afraid of being overheard, Lu Chen lowered his voice, "The production team is so mean! Today is a rare day off, everyone should be sleeping in, and they want me to wake them up like this? I'm not going to get killed by the older brothers, am I?"

"Waaaaah, how could there be such an annoying project?! (ToT)"

Despite saying that, he still gritted his teeth and went ahead with it.

After receiving the key from the production team, Lu Chen's first target was 2316.

This dormitory is a four-person room, where Ji Yan, Jin Min, Qin Jiawei, and Kobayashi Sakito live—one is Chinese, one is of mixed Chinese and Korean descent, one is a Malaysian Chinese, and one is Japanese.

The Duolingo partnership is truly amazing.

Lu Chen carefully opened the door. The curtains were drawn, and the lights were off, making the room pitch black.

To avoid getting beaten too badly, he first targeted people he was familiar with. Compared to Ji Yan, who was not much older than him, Lu Chen thought the older Jin Min was easier to mess with.

So Lu Chen squatted down beside his bed, took out the phone that the production team had prepared in advance, turned the volume up to the maximum, and put it to Jin Min's ear.

Suddenly, the earth-shattering theme song began to play.

To everyone's surprise, almost at the same second, as if some magical switch had been flipped, the four people on the four beds reflexively raised their hands and started dancing to the theme song!

Seeing this bizarre scene, Lu Chen froze on the spot. After a while, for some reason, he also started jumping up and down...

[I can't take it anymore! What have the production team done to them?!]
