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

(Li Tao: Rational discussion)

A certain Douyouer group (related to the Star Group)

[Breaking News! Breaking News! Latest news on the second public performance! The songs for the position evaluation in the second public performance have been announced!]

[By the way, does anyone know about the group assignments this time?]

The people next door are having a blast, but I advise you not to get your hopes up too high. I've already scrolled through more than twenty versions this morning.

[I just checked next door, and I have to say the song selection for this year's talent show is really top-notch. It feels like every single song was just ripped from the charts. The copyright fees must have been off the charts by now!]

The sponsored food coloring drinks are still selling incredibly well.

[It reminds me of our miserable previous year, and I really want to shout out loud: We didn't have such good conditions back then!]

It's all tears when I think about it. I remember during the second performance last year, the show was so broke that they had to choose songs from their children's song library. In the end, they came up with "Makka Pakka" as a rap song, which almost made me laugh to death.

[I'm speechless. I've never seen a production team so good at creating drama. If they're so capable, they should release some real information. Constantly keeping people in suspense like this is so painful to follow a talent show in real time.]

[There's all sorts of juicy gossip going around these days. I just came across a group post saying that the American couple were both put into the dance group and even chose the song "Breaking Boundaries Fruit Core".]

[Who? Who are you saying wants to dance "Breaking Boundaries with Fruit Pit"? How did those two, with their calisthenics skills, get selected? It's impossible, right?]

[That's why it's so outrageous. During the first performance, Su Xingran practically burned to a crisp before they were brought out. If you made Su Xingran go through that again, believe me, he'd change his sword on the spot to show you.]

[Sigh (sighs) These two unlucky kids got scolded again because of this.]

[This is ridiculous! How can anyone believe it?]

[This was revealed by a major marketing account, which claims the account owner is an official marketing account used by the government, so many people believe it.]

[I'm speechless. Does this lousy production team just treat our American team like a TikTok addict?]

I don't believe it anyway. The song selections announced so far are basically impossible. Even if we take a step back and assume the show has put in so much effort and spent so much on copyright fees, the original singers wouldn't let the show ruin their songs so easily.

I suspect you're subtly criticizing those two pigs...

To be honest, seeing that copyright fee quote really bothered me. It's so much money! Is VV Video's VIP membership going to go up in price again?

[After all, this is a talent show for the entire continent, and there are so many foreign contestants on the show. Even if they're going to pretend, they should at least act generously.]

[This is a classic case of putting on a show when you're not. Seriously, is this show even popular outside before they start throwing money at it like this?]

[Look at my IP address upstairs. You have no idea how popular this show is overseas right now. Lots of foreigners around me are watching it. The production team has to spend a lot of money to keep it popular.]

[Huh? I only knew this show was quite popular in China, I didn't expect it to be so popular overseas too?]

[Domestic fans suffer because they don't know how to bypass the Great Firewall. Superstar is incredibly popular, practically exploding in popularity. You know, foreign girls are known for not liking to spend money and only want to watch free live concerts and roadshows. The other day, my Americana classmate actually asked me how to vote more for her favorite contestant. I thought she was possessed by a ghost (shrug)]

Isn't this show broadcast around the world? It should be much easier for them to get votes than for us, right?

[As I said, she wanted to get more votes for her pick. Some scoundrel tricked her into thinking that the show's biggest sponsor was China, so buying drinks from the sponsor's brand in China would get her extra votes. She wanted to buy 100 cases to support her pick. (facepalm and wry smile)]

[This is too much! When will they ever finish drinking a hundred cases of artificially colored beverages?]

[She drank so much that it turned me color and I still couldn't finish it. She's been giving me two bottles every day lately, and now I feel like throwing up just looking at the bottle.]

So, is it really possible to get extra votes? If so, I'll buy a few boxes too.

[Of course this is fake! The official announcement already stated that domestic and international buyers of related products receive the same number of votes; there are absolutely no extra votes. This silly girl was completely fooled.]

[Speaking of which, since you're working so hard, who did your classmate pick?]

Who else could it be? Ling Tinglan, of course.

[Impossible, right? Aren't foreign girls supposed to admire strong men and like them to sing well? Ling Tinglan is terrible at both singing and dancing, I don't understand how they could like her?]

[I checked the homepage and sure enough, I couldn't hide it anymore. Sorry, but the hottest contestant in Europe and America right now is Ling Tinglan. Aren't you angry?]

[Hey, the person upstairs, stop being so insensitive! Even if you have small eyes, you should still open them and see the world. It's true that foreign girls admire men, but the whole world judges by looks. With Ling Tinglan's face, it would be a miracle if he wasn't popular.]

[They absolutely adore Ling Tinglan's 189cm height, her strikingly defined bone structure, and her blend of masculine charm and youthful energy.]

[Exactly! You have no idea how obsessed my friend America is with this drink. She got scammed out of $2,000, and her first thought wasn't how to get her money back. She wanted to spend another $2,000 to buy it from the same vendor again. She didn't realize that the extra votes were a scam; she just thought she hadn't bought it from the right place and was even cursing the previous scammer for ruining her vote...]

I'm begging you, can there be one more rich person like me in this world? I'm willing to forgo two thousand dollars.

Why is it that all the world's truly sincere friends act this way? I should probably just wish her the best in getting her money back (please, please)

[To be able to extract money from the pockets of the world's least money-loving foreign women, how authoritative must Ling Tinglan's face be?]

[Let me be blunt, we've been discussing this for so long, is there still anyone who doesn't understand? You can't question the faces of those Americans, can you?]

Indeed, when haters fight, they only ever mock the two of them for their skills. Sometimes, when pushed to the limit, they'll post a so-called "black picture" with full sharpening, only to be advised to delete it by their own fans, who say it's not good to promote the rival.

I'm dying of laughter. Anyone who wants to be their rival is just trying to make themselves look good.

[Hey, I'm not going to talk about it, my phone is about to explode with all these funny pictures, let's just leave the American sisters alone.]
