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

And so, the recording of the first episode of the latest season of "5 Hip Hop" came to a close amidst Chen He's thunderous snoring.

That night, the group returned to the courtyard by car.

"Xiao Cheng, come here, let's add each other's contact information." Deng Chao held up his phone.

"I'll join too," Brother Lu said, joining in.

Chen He was still a little groggy from sleep, but his social instincts compelled him to hand over his phone: "Scan it, scan it."

In this way, the four newly sworn brothers successfully obtained each other's contact information.

"Okay, that's all for now. You must be tired after filming all day. Go back and rest." Brother Deng said considerately, "I'll treat you to drinks sometime."

"Brother Chao, what about Sister Li?" Cheng Che blinked.

Brother Chao, will you still be home for dinner then?

"Heh." Deng Chao scoffed, patting his chest. "I give her some face in public, you know? But at home, I'm still the one who calls the shots!"

Cheng Che & Tian Xiwei: "Oh~~~"

After chatting for a few more minutes, everyone went back to their rooms.

Before going to bed, Cheng Che glanced at the data for "Fireworks Fade Easily" and "New Boy".

Well, since there haven't been any big names releasing songs recently, the two songs don't really have any competition, and they've both made it into the top ten of the new song charts.

Who knows, maybe when I wake up tomorrow morning, I'll be occupying the top two spots on the leaderboard.

After reading it, he paid special attention and searched for a new song called "Warm Light" that Shen Han had released.

The song's quality seems passable; it's not particularly outstanding, but it's at least acceptable.

The lyrics are roughly about how he was in a low point, but his fans were like warm lights shining into his life and helping him get out of it.

His popularity is also quite good. Although his public image has been poor recently, Shen Han's fans are still very strong.

Hmm... but surpassing "Fireworks Fade Easily" is probably impossible.

Reporting to Colonel Oda!

Soldier Cheng Che has successfully completed your order to "show some pride"!

Onions! Oranges!!

……

……

Shen Han stared at the data for "Warm Light" on the computer screen, his face expressionless.

Several hours have passed since the release of "Warm Light".

All the data looks good, and the comments section is full of comments like "I cried", "Brother is the best", and "It touched my heart".

But he knew in his heart that a lot of the data was exaggerated.

The number of plays is mainly driven by fans looping the song; there isn't much discussion about it among casual listeners.

Even the comments section is almost empty; there are hardly any of the trolls from the online literature community who used to harass him all the time.

I don't know if they didn't want to provide him with data, or if they simply didn't care.

"Knock knock knock—"

Two soft knocks came from outside the door.

"Hanhan, I've bought the water you requested."

Shen Han didn't even turn his head: "Come in."

The door was pushed open a crack, and the assistant cautiously walked in, carrying a drink.

Shen Han took it, inserted the straw, and took a sip.

Then he vomited it up.

"Why is it at room temperature?" He looked up.

The assistant quickly explained, "I was thinking about you lately..."

Ever since she ate Yan Lei's raw tripe in "Random Notes", Shen Han's stomach has been acting up lately, which is why she deliberately didn't buy any iced tripe.

"I asked you to organize the fans in the group to vote this afternoon, and look at the numbers now! What are you even good for?!"

Shen Han suddenly stood up and interrupted her without any mercy.

"You can't even buy a drink properly now? In the middle of summer, you want a room-temperature drink? Are you crazy?!"

As he spoke, he lifted the lid and splashed all the water onto his assistant's face.

"roll!"

The assistant took a deep breath, lowered her head, and silently walked out of the room.

……

……

The next day, in the morning.

The sun rose as usual, and the clear chirping of birds came from outside the window.

Cheng Che woke up, took out his phone, and stared at the top of Weibo's trending topics, where the name "Shen Han" was trending, lost in thought—

#深汉碰房#

Cheng Che rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't seeing things.

what?

Not a buddy?

The building collapsed?

He was full of questions, so he clicked on the trending topic and quickly learned the cause and effect in a few minutes.

Basically, a small account posted a long Weibo post containing various pieces of evidence about Shen Han's downfall.

There are audio recordings, photos, and even a few blurry videos.

The gist of the story is that Shen Han acted like a diva on set, verbally abusing his assistant and looking down on extras.

There's even a recording where he's mocking his fans, saying they're all brainless fools who actually fantasize about dating him. He should take a good look at themselves in the mirror; they're like toads trying to eat swan meat.

A self-proclaimed professional conducted an assessment and found no trace of AI manipulation in the audio recordings and photos.

After a night of fermentation, the buzz has exploded:

"Congratulations on topping the trending searches, you warm-hearted guy!"

"The rumors about him acting like a diva at the theater have been circulating before, right? Apparently, it was an extra, but at the time there wasn't enough evidence, and they managed to smooth things over!"

"A toad trying to eat swan meat... I've been a fan of his since his debut, and now I feel like a clown."

"So, it seems he really was behind all the scandals involving Cheng Che?"

"I'm no longer a fan. Thank you to the whistleblower for letting me see this scumbag for who he really is."

Cheng Che scratched his head, momentarily at a loss for words.

Hey friend, I just took a nap, how did your house collapse?

Your house collapsed so suddenly, it's even more abrupt than Director Wang's bald head!

……

……

At this very moment, in a temporary office not far from the courtyard.

A disheveled middle-aged man with thinning hair, almost bald, stared at the trending topics on his phone and let out a sharp, explosive sound.

I'm so chovy!

Wang Zheng became famous.

What do you guys need a dick for?!

The second stop of the travelogue is about to start filming, but why are we missing one guest again?!

Law! Law! Law!
