I'm a web novelist, and you want me to work in the entertainment industry?

Two days later, Cheng Che arrived in Jiangsu Province, at the filming location of "The Voice of Creation".

He arrived in the evening and was led to the hotel by the staff.

The hotel was arranged by the production team; it was of a high standard, magnificent and opulent, with dazzling crystal chandeliers in the lobby.

Judging by appearances, it might not be as good as the Regent Hotel, which Kassel College loves to book out, but it probably won't be too far off.

Cheng Che went into his room, threw down his luggage, and took out his phone to send a message to Tian Xiwei.

Cheng Che: I've arrived at the hotel.

Half a minute later.

"King Oda invites you to a video call—"

Cheng Che answered the call.

"Your hotel is nice, it looks quite luxurious," Tian Xiwei commented, glancing at the room behind Cheng Che.

"Indeed, much more generous than Lao Wang," Cheng Che agreed. "After leaving Lao Wang, I realized it wasn't raining at all outside."

"I think so too." Tian Xiwei nodded in agreement.

The two exchanged a glance and chuckled.

……

Inside an office in Shanghai.

Wang Zheng, who was working on the filming of the fourth stop of "Wandering Diary", suddenly sneezed.

Who's been talking badly about me behind my back?

Wang Zheng touched his nose and frowned.

After thinking for a long time, he came to the conclusion: "It must be that girl Xiaotang cursing me again!"

Ever since Xiao Tang became Cheng Che's assistant, Wang Zheng has clearly felt that she's become too independent.

Now they don't call him uncle anymore; they just call him Lao Deng all the time. Even when he came to ask for live streaming equipment last time, he kept calling him Lao Deng.

She said something after I didn't give it to her at first: "Old Deng...you don't want your brother to know that you're bullying his daughter, do you?"

That wretched niece!

……

The room next to Cheng Che's room.

Xiao Tang had just finished packing her luggage when she suddenly sneezed.

Who's been talking badly about me behind my back?

Xiao Tang touched her nose and frowned.

She thought for a long time, and although she had no evidence, she was still absolutely certain: "It must have been Brother Che who did it!"

That heartless boss!

Sneaky and wicked!

……

Cheng Che was talking to Tian Xiwei when he suddenly sneezed.

"Why are you sneezing?" Tian Xiwei asked with concern. "Did you catch a cold?"

November is almost here, and autumn is drawing to a close. The weather is indeed getting colder.

"It's nothing, maybe someone's talking badly about me behind my back," Cheng Che shrugged. "Don't worry about it too much."

"Are you nervous about participating in this music variety show?" Tian Xiwei asked.

She thought Cheng Che shouldn't be nervous, but out of concern for him, she still asked.

"I'm not too nervous," Cheng Che said. "Although I don't know most of the other guests, at least I know one of them."

"That's true." Tian Xiwei nodded. "Speaking of which, I haven't heard you explain the rules of this music competition yet."

"Rules?" Cheng Che thought for a moment and briefly relayed them to her.

"The Voice of Creation, as the name suggests, is a program that emphasizes a certain kind of fate and focuses on performing original songs."

"The general process of each episode is as follows: first, different musicians bring their demos to showcase, and then the singers choose songs according to their own wishes."

"After the singers are selected, the musicians have the final say on who will sing their songs. Once a pairing is successful, the two people work together to complete the song's production, and finally the singers will perform it on stage."

"I see." Tian Xiwei nodded. "It sounds like it'll be very interesting."

Hmm... the fact that it's completely original is attractive enough.

"The first season of the show had the same rules, and the second season didn't change anything, but a new rule was added..." Cheng Che scratched his head and added, "It seems like it's aimed at me."

"What is it?"

"That's right, if a singer doesn't like a musician's demo in a given episode, they can sing their own song, but it must be an original and unreleased one," Cheng Che said.

It wasn't narcissism, but he seriously suspected that the rule was aimed at him.

It's not that other singers definitely won't use this rule, but rather that his situation is indeed the most suitable for this rule.

the reason is simple--

To date, he has sung five songs in "Wandering Diary," but only the first two have actually been released as singles.

As for the other three songs... fans have been urging Cheng Che to release them every day, but Cheng Che admits that he is a bit lazy, so he has been putting it off until now and hasn't gone to the recording studio.

Therefore, without a doubt, under the program's new rule, he has the most "ammunition".

Moreover, because of laziness and scheduling conflicts, he has only signed a contract for one episode so far, but the production team still launched a new rule without hesitation... Is it because they want him to sing "Rice Fragrance"?

They must want him to sing "Rice Fragrance"!

"That's good too." Tian Xiwei said enthusiastically, "It shows that the production team values ​​you and has given you a stage to showcase your talents."

"Not only that." Cheng Che leaned back against the headboard. "They even wanted to expel me from both jobs."

"Double...open?"

……

……

The next morning.

The recording of the first episode of the second season of "The Voice of Creation" officially began. Cheng Che took the program team's car directly from the hotel to the recording base.

The program's live broadcast room was already open, with the camera pointing directly at a narrow indoor corridor. The walls on both sides and the floor were covered with the program's logos of various sizes, as well as other miscellaneous items.

The comments started scrolling—

[Open the door! Open the door! Open the door! Urgent!]

Here we go, front row seats!

Children, come out here! Tell us who you've come for!

Amidst the clamor of the comments, the door at the end of the passage suddenly opened.

A young man dressed in a simple black hooded sweatshirt and light-colored casual pants walked in.

"Wow, there's another passage here."

Cheng Che pushed open the door and looked around, finding himself in a long, narrow, enclosed space.

[Cheong-ge! You're definitely coming to this music variety show to fully develop your singing career! Make singing your main profession from now on!]

[Enough with the chaos, writing web novels is the real priority, Zero Master's fandom can wait!]

[Huh? The production team didn't say beforehand that Chu Zihang would be recording this show too! (Book fans want Long San to update more chapters!)]

[Oh? You mean... Che-ge isn't as handsome as Chu Zihang? (Fandoms want a double autographed photo of the Sweet Orange CP)?]

[Hiss—Is this what top-tier strategic combat is like? (Cold sweat pours down his face)...]
