The fluffy little dumpling perked up its ears and blinked, "Host, do you also understand such an elusive thing as luck? How do you know that live streaming can have a backlash?"
"I don't understand." Jiang Chen said succinctly and softly, "I just read the updated content of the script. After he appeared on the variety show, his popularity exploded. Many beautiful female fans traveled from afar to fawn over him. I think that making him fail at pretending to be AC might have an effect."
After Hua Siming finished recounting the story, she rubbed walnuts and leaned back on the sofa, pondering carefully. "Usually, this kind of blessing comes in two forms: one is the general trend; the other is the will of the people."
Those with great fortune are mostly the former, as they are directly assigned to them by the laws of the world;
However, the will of the people is more flexible and controllable.
"Big star, how's the popularity of the variety show you're going to participate in?"
“I’m a top-tier celebrity, of course I wouldn’t go on a show with low viewership,” Wang Mengtian said proudly. “It’s the recently popular slow-paced variety show – Longing for Home.”
Upon hearing this, Hua Siming's eyes lit up, "Then the popularity is definitely enough!"
The problem is, the more people watching the show, the higher the luck boost might be when the imposter successfully impersonates AC. At that point, his powerful aura would affect viewers at their screens. Therefore, the plan must be absolutely foolproof.
Zhou Ruofeng weakly raised her hand to indicate that she hadn't even spoken yet when she faced the strangers, her face already turning red. Her voice was soft, "But... I don't want my brother to be embarrassed in front of so many people... It's shameful for an imposter to use my brother's body."
“It doesn’t necessarily have to be embarrassing,” Hua Siming explained. “The way in which the will of the people influences one’s destiny is a bit special.”
Now, this imposter is obsessed with becoming a big star and getting the spotlight, so his good fortune is what makes him so popular and sought after.
As long as he can guide the audience to have a completely opposite impression of him on the show, that's fine.
For example, by keeping a low profile, Meng Tian constantly guides the public to deepen this impression, making the imposters unable to pretend to be cool and gradually fade into the background. Then, his good fortune will be offset in the opposite direction until it is worn down to zero.
Our goal has been achieved!
Liu Qingmei instantly understood, "I get it, it's what the entertainment industry calls creating a persona! Collapsed persona will backfire, and when the wall falls, everyone pushes it down."
"That's roughly the idea." Hua Siming looked at Wang Mengtian, the most stunning and eye-catching among the beauties, and said, "You should first come up with a persona that isn't shameful, such as being low-key, Buddhist-like, or quietly dedicated. In short, don't let his plan to become famous succeed."
Xiang Ninghua was the first to suggest, "I choose to keep a low profile!"
"Keep it low-key +1, and it would be best to highlight the brother's selfless dedication."
“Don’t give him screen time, or very little screen time, and then create a heartwarming persona of an older brother who doesn’t want to steal his younger sister’s thunder.”
“I also think that a low-key persona suits my brother very well.”
"I agree with the low-key persona!"
……
After deciding on their plan to deal with the imposters who were trying to gain fame and manipulate fans, the group had a quick dinner without taking a break and then began their busy preparations.
Chapter Thirty: The Little House I Long For
"After these collections of poems, songs, and classic pop songs are written and published, I need to have my younger sister do some small things on his phone. I also need to pay attention to the arrangements around him to ensure that the imposter doesn't know that his biggest advantage is gone before he goes on the show."
As Jiang Chen recalled the corresponding content according to the script, he gave her instructions.
Hua Siming gave a thumbs up, "Yes! That's the arrangement. I can't wait to cut off all escape routes and watch this kid suffer."
Let's begin. I don't know much about those tunes, so I can only help by reciting them. The rest of the transcription will have to be done by you ladies.
He was full of ambition and confidence, but the thought that the imposter was even thinking of taking Bai Wei away made Hua Siming furious.
It's one thing to steal someone else's brother's body, but to actually try to use everything he owns to play German orthopedics?
Oh, what a beautiful thought!
For this reason alone, I'd fight to the death even if I had to be the villain!
Several people gathered in the study to take turns taking notes.
Jiang Chen started with the simplest poems and songs. To avoid the protagonist suddenly remembering other poems after the script was updated, he poured out all the poems he could recall.
"This guy has a decent amount of knowledge; he's not too much of a fool," the younger sister remarked to Ninghua as she took notes. "Luckily, we knew the truth beforehand. Otherwise, looking at these beautiful poems, I don't think anyone would have the heart to harm such a 'brilliant' top genius."
The little white cat wagged its tail and retorted, "It's not that the imposter has a large knowledge base; most of this was added by my host. The script only contains about twenty poems, so the protagonist was probably a poor student in his original world."
“After this entire collection of poems is published, the author will be credited as ‘The Time Traveler’,” Jiang Chen instructed. “The same applies to the other works.”
After relaying the story, Hua Siming laughed and said, "To imposters, the signature 'time traveler' is a blatant irony. What are we going to record next? Songs or other works?"
"I'll write down the lyrics first, then I'll organize the sheet music and record it separately." Jiang Chen carefully recalled these classic songs based on the lyrics that were occasionally mentioned in the script.
He sat on the desk, his long legs swinging as he looked out the window at the starry sky, and suddenly felt as if he had returned to the age of seventeen or eighteen.
Back then, my favorite thing to do was to hold my guitar and learn to cover popular songs over and over again.
A man sat alone in a dark room, slowly playing and softly singing. Unlike other boys who tried to attract girls, he played and sang only for himself, letting his leisurely voice spread through the darkness and dispel the black shadows lingering outside the window.
"Wow! This song 'Invisible Wings' is so good! I love it!" Wang Mengtian was overjoyed, holding each song that her brother had retold through Hua Siming. She looked at this one and thought it was great, and then looked at that one and thought it was absolutely amazing.
Even Lin Yanran, who has no interest in pop music, couldn't put down the song "Old Boy". "It's probably because it's a classic created by the most outstanding talents of his generation that it's so moving."
Liu Qingmei held a poem called "My Deskmate" and looked at it again and again, reading it over and over again.
"So many great songs in different styles, it's enough to equip all the singers in my group." Leng Yueshuang carefully categorized them, already planning to call up the relevant departments of the entertainment group to work overtime.
Hua Siming scrolls through her phone, searching a vast database for ways to trap one's soul;
Wang Mengtian and Liu Qingmei quietly discussed and hummed their favorite new songs, while arranging the sheet music and designing the publication of their poetry collection.
Xiang Ninghua, Bai Wei, and Zhou Ruofeng discussed in hushed tones what equipment and methods they should use to study the imposter once they had grasped its essence.
Leng Yueshuang busily arranged the work within the entertainment group, requiring all artists who received new songs suitable for their own style to start recording overnight, and demanding that the variety show team expedite the scheduling and arrangements to free up space for Wang Mengtian to bring her "brother" and Hua Siming, who was to avoid any unexpected situations, to participate in the live broadcast and guide the storyline.
Ye Zhi Qiu and Lin Yan Ran were not idle either. They used their identities and connections to search for rare ancient books that Hua Siming might need for reference.
The few days passed quickly.
When Yan Jiangchen woke up from his dazed state, he felt weak and uncomfortable lying down, so he stretched and changed his position for a few more minutes before getting up.
"The test results are all in, brother, there's nothing seriously wrong with your health." Wang Mengtian was sitting in the lobby on the first floor, looking pretty in a small mirror at her makeup.
After seeing him come downstairs, she said with a coquettish smile, "The other sisters are all very busy, so they left first. I have a slow-paced variety show to participate in, and it's closer to home, so I won't leave until tomorrow morning."
Variety show?
Yan Jiangchen's eyes lit up when she heard those three words, recalling the plots from the time-travel novels she had read.
To travel back to ancient times, the protagonist usually starts by making soap and glass, embarking on the road to wealth and prosperity. Then, he recites some poems and songs he learned from his textbooks in a timely manner, which naturally earns him a large number of fans and the title of a talented scholar. Those rich girls, princesses, and noble ladies will rush to marry the protagonist, even if they are just concubines, they will be happy to do so.
Traveling to the modern era would be even more awesome!
If you have a few drinks, sit on the street with a guitar, and sing a song like "Old Boy" or "Girl in the Flower Room," you can immediately be filmed and become an internet sensation, turning yourself into a top-tier creator.
He writes lyrics, composes songs, and makes movies, achieving both fame and fortune, and even has beautiful women throwing themselves at him.
If you also meet a few beautiful female fans who only want your love and not a title, you couldn't be happier!
If I could catch this train and use the fame of a big star's sister to showcase my talent on variety shows...
Thinking of this, Yan Jiangchen hurriedly asked, "What variety show? Can I take you to see it? I'm quite interested in it."
“No problem,” Wang Mengtian readily agreed. “If my brother wants to participate, I can just tell the production team. I heard that the outdoor scenes are being filmed on Peach Blossom Mountain, and the scenery is really nice.”
She made the phone call right in front of him, then said with a smile, "We're leaving early tomorrow morning, brother, go pack your luggage. 'Longing for Home' is a slow-paced live variety show, so as long as you don't say anything wrong and get caught doing something wrong, it'll be fine. Don't be nervous, brother, I'll be there for you."
The first step of gaining the younger sisters' trust has been successful;
The next step is to gain both fame and fortune. Once the villa is completed, you can select some beautiful expansions from your fans.
The thought of starting an invincible storyline where anyone who dares to mess with me will have their entire family killed made Yan Jiangchen feel incredibly happy.
As dawn broke, Yan Jiangchen, dreaming of fame and fortune, got up energetically, had her luggage loaded into the car, and headed to the filming location of the dream house.
"Welcome, Mengtian! It's been a long time!" Teacher Xiang, a regular guest who was in charge of hosting guests, greeted Wang Mengtian with a smile and helped her take the suitcase she was dragging.
She had already noticed the live-streaming camera following her, so after thanking Teacher Xiang with a sweet smile, she handed the suitcase to Yan Jiangchen and introduced him warmly: "Teacher Xiang, this is my brother, Yan Jiangchen."
For so many years, he has taken meticulous care of us sisters. He's usually very low-key, preferring to do things rather than talk. I heard that the pace of life here in Peach Blossom Mountain is particularly comfortable, so I brought my brother here to experience it.
Yan Jiangchen, who was following closely behind her, wanted to make a good impression.
Just as the peach blossoms were blooming beautifully on the mountainside, the cottage was right next to a lush green bamboo forest, and beyond that was a shimmering little river with several pretty ducks swimming in it – a truly picturesque scene.
If one were to take the opportunity to express one's feelings in a poem that fits the occasion, such as "Peach Blossom Hermitage on Peach Blossom Mountain, Peach Blossom Immortal beneath Peach Blossom Hermitage..." or "Two or three branches of peach blossoms outside the bamboo, ducks are the first to know when the spring river warms up," it would definitely be eye-catching!
Before he could even speak, his fifth sister said something considerate and modest. Not wanting to immediately show off, he could only smile shyly, take the suitcase from her, and politely greet Teacher Xiang.
"Wow! I never knew Mengtian's brother was so handsome!" The fair-skinned and handsome teacher was good at praising people and creating a lively atmosphere, and warmly welcomed them into the small house.
As soon as the energetic Wang Mengtian appeared on camera, the live stream screen was flooded with a dense barrage of comments.
"Waaaaah~ I've finally waited for our sweetie to be on the show! My favorite show invited my favorite star, double the happiness!"
"Sweetie is so beautiful!"
"Teacher Xiang is so gentle!"
"Didn't you guys notice how incredibly handsome Sweetie's brother is? He should just debut right now, okay?"
……
Chapter Thirty-One: Making Some Benefits
The semi-transparent Jiang Chen floated along beside him, while the little white cat perched on his shoulder, laughing so hard she almost fell over. "Host, your little sister has such a great sense of the camera! She stole all the attention the moment she appeared, leaving none for the main character! Seeing him holding his breath while pretending to be calm made me so happy!"
"This is just the beginning. We'll be filming for two days and one night on The House of Longing. We have to be vigilant at all times to prevent its luck from rising."
Teacher Jin, who was in charge of preparing the food, stood in front of the kitchen wearing her signature apron and holding a large iron ladle, greeting them, "Mengtian, you've come at just the right time. I'm making congee with preserved egg and lean pork for breakfast. Don't you like that?"
After greeting everyone, Wang Mengtian took a deep breath. "It smells so good! We really haven't had breakfast yet. Teacher Jin, is there anything else you need me to cook? My brother is an amazing cook. He loves to cook delicious food for us. He can help me with that."
As she spoke, she glanced at Yan Jiangchen, who had just put down her suitcase and was about to look for the camera.
"I'll help." He also knew that in this kind of reality show where you want to slack off and be lazy without any funny stories, the least likable thing is that your sister wants you to be a down-to-earth and steady person.
His handsome appearance instantly attracted the attention of many viewers when he flashed across the screen.
The entertainment industry is never short of handsome men. Even Mr. Jin, who is good at cooking, is incredibly handsome. In addition, he is witty, humorous, and a senior figure in the industry, which is why he can steadily capture some fixed shots.
Yan Jiangchen barely appeared on screen, from her first appearance to helping out in the kitchen. She also lacked any notable works or special talents. How could she possibly be as captivating as the interactions between the most popular Wang Mengtian and the adorable regular guest?
As a live broadcast program, the photographer is best at capturing the highlights.
Therefore, after showing Teacher Jin a few shots of him cooking, they went straight to filming the beautiful women.
A few comments on the live stream screen were wailing and pleading for more screen time for the older brother, but they were quickly drowned out by comments from Wang Mengtian and her sister's fans.
