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

Chapter 73 The CP fans are really enjoying themselves.

As the saying goes, good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels a thousand miles.

This statement is incredibly apt when applied to the entertainment industry—the fastest and widest-spreading news in the industry is always the scandals of celebrities.

Today was supposed to be a relatively ordinary day for the entertainment industry. The only thing worth talking about was the fact that Cheng Che and Tian Xiwei were seen together.

But no one expected that at midnight, a brand new term would emerge as a dark horse, instantly surging into the top ten trending searches on both Weibo and music platforms.

#Crystal's brother-in-law detained by Shanghai police#

Clicking into the trending topics will show you a video filmed on a street in Shanghai at night.

In the darkness, Crystal's uncle was led into a police car by several police officers, followed by a large crowd of onlookers.

The opinions of netizens in the comments section are divided:

"Is my uncle's house going to collapse? Why was he suddenly arrested? Can Brother Dong explain this?"

"I just saw a video on the music channel. It seems that my uncle was drinking with friends at night, got drunk and started acting crazy on the roadside. He elbowed an innocent white car, and then a passerby called the police."

"Man! What can I say!?"

"666 is definitely a rapper; he's got character. He'll fight at the drop of a hat, he won't even spare a car!"

"It's alright, it's unlikely the building collapsed. It's not a huge mistake. Damaging other people's property is certainly wrong, but losing control of one's emotions is understandable. Let's wait for further updates!"

"Does nobody care about my 'Five Hips' show? The new season starts filming next week..."

"Damn! You reminded me, we absolutely can't let this interfere with the recording!"

……

At this very moment, in an office in a building in Shanghai, Wang Zheng stared blankly at the trending topics on the screen.

"No, what are you doing? What are you doing?" Wang Zheng was completely dumbfounded. "You're public figures, can't you control yourselves a little?!"

What do you mean, my guest elbowed a car in the street and was reported by a passerby, resulting in his detention by the Shanghai police?

The show featuring the labor and management team is starting filming next week!

Wang Zheng felt a faint sadness permeating the office.

"Is this year going against me?" Wang Zheng was extremely frustrated.

Two weeks ago, just before filming began for "Random Notes," one of the guests was injured during filming and missed the recording.

Tonight, right before filming began for "5 Hip Hop," the guests went straight in, so it's hard to say whether the episodes will be released before recording.

Moreover, even if he were released, with such a huge public outcry in the short term, he wouldn't dare to put him on the field directly!

"Director Wang, please calm down," the assistant advised from the side. "The most important thing right now is to think about how to proceed with the filming."

I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush, because what you're in a hurry for isn't the most urgent thing.

"I also want to know what to do..." Wang Zheng slumped into a chair, feeling utterly exhausted.

Having lived for so many years, I've seen quite a few celebrities go to jail.

But this is the first time it's happened that someone elbowed a vehicle to get in.

After a long silence in the office, suddenly one of the brilliant minds spoke up.

"Director Wang, I have a plan!"

"You're offering sacrifices at trade fairs, have you been watching too many period dramas?" Wang Zheng said irritably.

Is something wrong with you?!

What era are we living in that we're still offering sacrifices?

Even if you sacrifice the entire crew, you still can't get your uncle out of jail early!

"No, I mean, I have a plan," the man said again.

"Oh?" Wang Zheng raised an eyebrow. "Tell me about it."

"Actually, Director Wang, the best replacement is right under your nose!"

The man held up a laptop in front of Wang Zheng, on which was a newly released video featuring musical notes.

The account's creator is—"Zero (Mentor Xia Mi)".

The video cover features a guzheng (a traditional Chinese zither), and the filming location appears to be the interior of a recording studio with dim lighting.

The tagline reads: "Fireworks Fade Easily" will be officially released on music platforms in one week. Everyone can look forward to it!

When you open the video, you see a boy sitting upright in front of a guzheng, his back straight and his fingers resting on the strings.

Beside the guzheng, a figure with long hair could be vaguely seen.

Cheng Che raised his hand and plucked the strings.

"The sounds of bustling city life, retreating to the monastery, have saddened the world..."

The desolate yet melodious piano music began, accompanied by a slightly hoarse singing voice, instantly captivating the listener.

The comment section exploded immediately:

"He can even play the guzheng! I'm tired of saying 'handsome' about Che-ge!"

"Hey, where did you come from? Who else could you be but a handsome guy?"

"No, Zero, you're so handsome, it's making all the readers quite embarrassed..."

"This lighting, this guzheng, this tone, this profile... Brother Che, I'm begging you, please debut already!"

"Am I the only one who noticed the shadow next to me? It's Xiaotian, it must be Xiaotian! You two were just in the same frame this afternoon, and then went to the recording studio together tonight?"

"There's reasonable suspicion that Oda also typed the copy; the tone really doesn't sound like Che-ge's style!"

"We, the Sweet Orange CP fans, are really enjoying ourselves, hahaha!"

Wang Zheng's eyes gradually shifted from disappointment to fervor.

That's right!

With my trump card of sweet oranges, why bother looking for other substitutes?

Well, Uncle, you'd better stay in the police station for now.

Let's not contact each other for the time being, I'm afraid Cheng Tian will misunderstand.

"Let's call Tian Xiwei's agent first."

……

Meanwhile, in the recording studio, Cheng Che had just finished recording "Fireworks Fade Easily" and was preparing to rest for a while before recording the next song.

Sister Zhang's phone suddenly rang.

She glanced down at the caller ID—"Director Wang Zheng"—and immediately perked up.

Tian Xiwei and Cheng Che exchanged glances, but neither of them spoke, listening silently.

"Director Wang, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Xiaotian's schedule? Next week? Let me think... Next week is pretty free. Director Wang, is there something you need to ask about?"

"Oh, is that so? That's great! I'll ask her what she thinks first, and I'll contact you again later." Sister Zhang hung up the phone and looked at Tian Xiwei with a delighted expression.

"What's wrong?" Oda asked.

"That drunk guy who elbowed the car just now, it really is my uncle!" Sister Zhang said. "He's been detained and is expected to miss next week's recording of '5Hip Hop'."

"Director Wang said he'd like to invite you to be a guest on one of his shows. What do you think?"

Tian Xiwei blinked, processing Zhang Jie's words while mentally considering whether or not to go.

"Buzz—"

Just then, Cheng Che's phone vibrated in his pocket.

Zhang Jie and Tian Xiwei's conversation was interrupted, and the two looked at Cheng Che together.

Looking at the caller ID "Director Wang Zheng," Cheng Che's expression became subtle as he answered the phone.

"Feed? Is that Cheng Che?" Wang Zheng's cheerful voice rang out.

"Director Wang, is there anything I can help you with?" Cheng Che asked.

"Cheng Che, tell me honestly, how have I, Old Wang, treated you?!"

"Uh, it's good." Cheng Che thought for a moment and said seriously.

Wang Zheng was probably only so polite to him because of his status and popularity.

But he still understood the principle of judging by actions, not intentions.
