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

Bai Shuyang's words directly caused Jiao Wangshu's CPU to burn out.

How presumptuous of you to ask such a blasphemous question so innocently?

Brother, do you want to take a closer look at the situation? Even though the camera isn't pointed directly at their faces, what if the production crew records it? They'll both be finished then.

As expected of a big company, do they think they can be so unscrupulous just because they can edit in post-production?

And this doesn't make sense. Jiao Wangshu was completely baffled. Were they really that obviously selling themselves? Even Bai Shuyang, who had no connection with them, could see it.

This is pure slander! His "selling big" plan hasn't found a suitable opportunity to be successfully implemented yet!

"What nonsense are you talking about? I don't understand a word you say."

Jiao Wangshu blinked rapidly, flashing her eyes frantically. "What's with all this 'selling bromance' and 'business' stuff? Such advanced terms! I have no idea what they mean, hahaha..."

Upon hearing Jiao Wangshu's words, Bai Shuyang's previously expressionless face now revealed a subtle look: Stop pretending with me.

Does he even believe what he's saying?

Bai Shuyang looked left and right and saw that everyone was practicing seriously and no one was paying attention to them, so he decisively pulled Jiao Wangshu aside and whispered:

"I didn't mean anything by it, I just wanted to ask you for some advice on selling bromance."

"How do you and Ling Tinglan manage to sell so naturally? Gu Shiwan and I would like to try selling like that too."

Bai Shuyang stared at Jiao Wangshu with eyes full of curiosity. His pairing with Gu Shiwan had been quite a spectacle lately.

The three public performances and roadshow events attracted a lot of new fans to the two of them as a couple, but their pairing started too late.

The talent show is almost in its final stages, and if the two of them don't hurry up and sell their products, it will be too late.

However, Bai Shuyang and Gu Shiwan had absolutely no experience in selling bromance. The two, who already had a good relationship, became increasingly uncomfortable under the increasingly excited urging of the CP fans.

How could they capitalize on this trend and sell in a more natural way? This became a very difficult problem for both of them.

Then, Bai Shuyang's gaze fell on Ling Tinglan and Jiao Wangshu.

As a pair of American celebrities who became popular from the very beginning of the show, despite being from a small company, having little screen time, and lacking concentrated voting, they were still able to consistently be in the debut positions. Their popularity is indeed enviable.

How can the two of them get along so naturally? No matter what, wouldn't it be a little awkward for men to be together in a business setting?

Bai Shuyang couldn't understand it, but he wanted to learn.

Looking at the other person's inquisitive expression, Jiao Wangshu was at a loss for words.

That kid has a good eye for people.

He's a seasoned BL fangirl with plenty of experience selling BL content, so teaching him a couple of tricks would be a piece of cake.

Thinking of this, Jiao Wangshu spread her hands and suddenly became confident.

"You've come to the right person."

"But before the formal lessons begin, there's one crucial question," Jiao Wangshu looked into Bai Shuyang's eyes and asked earnestly, "Are you really sure about this?"

"Playing the gay card is a lifelong pursuit."

It's said that selling bromance is a shortcut for obscure celebrities to rise to fame, but once someone starts selling bromance, there's no going back; the CP fans will never let them off the hook.

They're all smiles when they're reaping the benefits, but once they're full, they kick it aside. Do they really think sincerity is something so easy to deceive?

"Um."

Bai Shuyang nodded. "Gu Shiwan and I have already made up our minds."

That's not necessarily true. Hearing his words, Jiao Wangshu remained noncommittal. When it comes to shipping any real-life couple, the first thing everyone should learn is not to trust any guy who sells BL content.

"You swear first."

Bai Shuyang stared blankly as Jiao Wangshu raised her right hand.

"I, Bai Shuyang, have decided to sell the CP (couple pairing) for the rest of my life. No matter what happens in the future, whether it's purification, going straight, selling, the collapse of the CP, or getting married and having children, I'm prepared to be harassed, pestered, and cursed by CP fans for the rest of my life."

My goodness, this vow is even more vicious than a wedding vow.

Bai Shuyang waved his raised hand, feeling inexplicably guilty. "Is...is it really that terrifying?"

"Of course."

Jiao Wangshu ruthlessly shattered his wishful thinking, "Otherwise, how could they say that selling homoeroticism is a path to ascension? Since you've used this evil cultivation method, how can you not bear the consequences of being devoured?"

"There's no such thing as a free lunch."

Bai Shuyang thought for a moment and became determined again:

"Yes, I swear!"

Seeing that the other party was so cooperative, Jiao Wangshu nodded in satisfaction, thinking, "This child is teachable."

"First of all, the first step to selling bromance is to have a big heart and be able to completely objectify yourself, and from then on treat your name as an insignificant symbol."

"Specifically referring to those who create real-life couples."

"CP fans are actually very far removed from the real people in the CP. They can't possibly know what the real personalities and thoughts of the people in the CP are like. Everything in the CP is just the fans' personalization and enchantment."

"You don't need to change yourself, and don't look at what the CP fans post. Once you're sure that the fans are shipping the mainstream persona, just keep being yourself."

These words were too profound for Bai Shuyang to understand at the moment, so he could only follow his train of thought with a vague understanding.

Based on my experience as a fan of the "Jiao Wangshu" pairing, if the persona you create is too different from your real self, it will not only be easy to slip up when you start acting, but it will also be very painful.

After thinking for a moment, he made a final decision: "Neither you nor Gu Shiwan have very outgoing personalities, so let's go with the quiet, reserved, and aloof young master as the male supporting character."

At this point, Bai Shuyang couldn't understand at all, but it should mean that he and Gu Shiwan didn't need to pretend.

Then Jiao Wangshu added, "This show is still being filmed. Although you two won't be on the same stage for this mentor collaboration, you will be on the same stage for the third public performance."

"On the official stage, you can really shine. Things like physical interaction, social media likes, and timing your performances are the most basic. The most important thing is to provide real-time feedback in line with the show's broadcast."

At this point, Jiao Wangshu suddenly remembered something and sighed, "The most important thing is that your company has to support you. It would be best to find a few professional fans to support you, and then discuss with the production team that they won't cut your scenes. Otherwise, it's all for nothing if you don't even get a single shot in the final cut."

Bai Shuyang nodded, "No problem, our company will naturally support our business."

Listening to your words is better than reading ten years of books.

Jiao Wangshu launched into a long, rambling speech, successfully praising herself. After this ordeal, Bai Shuyang felt as if her entire soul had been elevated.

He was blankly processing the new knowledge he had learned that day, and then, as if struck by a sudden thought, he turned to Jiao Wangshu and asked:

"You said selling bromance is a shortcut, but also a cliff."

"I can't help it, I'm naturally aloof, no matter what I do, I can't get anyone to warm things up. But why did you and Ling Tinglan decide to go down this path as well?"

Bai Shuyang really didn't understand. With their looks, they could become famous individually even without the bromance marketing, especially since, as he himself said—

"How can you be so sure you can stick to a bromance with Ling Tinglan for the rest of your life?"

"I just know."

Jiao Wangshu smiled mysteriously, "The two of us can do this for a lifetime."
