Xu Chun said with some difficulty, "Well... we need to look at this from a dialectical perspective. Everything has two sides. At first glance, it's just our CP video, but from another perspective, doesn't it just mean we're very popular, haha?"
After he finished speaking, he chuckled a few times. Seeing that Xie Jianyuan was smiling and didn't say anything, he couldn't help but laugh.
I decided to abandon all those messy worries and asked directly, "You don't mind, do you?"
Xie Jianyuan gave a cryptic smile. "Of course not."
Xu Chun breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. After calming down, she chatted with Xie Jianyuan for a few more minutes, forgetting her original purpose for coming to see him, before turning and leaving.
After Xu Chun left, Xie Jianyuan stared at his back for a moment, then deftly and skillfully switched his phone back to the video feed.
He rewound the progress to the part he had just seen, took a screenshot of the misaligned kiss scene, and set it as the background image for his chat with Xu Chun.
Looking at the wallpaper, there was a picture of him and Xu Chun kissing in ancient costumes.
Xie Jianyuan raised his eyebrows with satisfaction.
Perfect.
Chapter 36 Gay Heartthrob
An Wen not only manages Xie Jianyuan's personal fan site, but also the fan group for the Chun Yuan CP (Chun Yuan CP).
But recently she discovered a strange new person had joined the group.
To avoid enemy infiltrators, people who can join fan groups usually undergo multiple layers of vetting. However, after the last trending topic incident, An Wen has become increasingly cautious and has to be suspicious of this newcomer's identity.
Generally, newcomers to the group will excitedly greet everyone and then, as usual, shower their partners with compliments.
But this newcomer was quite strange. His profile picture wasn't one of either of the two fan groups, and he was very quiet, rarely speaking, only occasionally chiming in with a word or two.
"We need to work hard on the data for the two PLDDs today as well."
"55555 Sisters, have you seen that video edited by the Bilibili up-master?"
"Chun Yuan so adorable, I've been completely obsessed with these two handsome guys all day."
Have any of you read any fanfiction about them? Any of you ladies want to recommend some?
At this moment, the newcomer who had been lurking in the group finally spoke up.
What kind of fanfiction?
The women in the group thought he was asking about the names of fanfiction, so they all enthusiastically reported the titles.
That person fell silent again.
"Jianyuan." Xie Jianyuan's manager, seeing him still playing on his phone, couldn't help but remind him, "It'll be your turn to go on stage soon."
They were currently promoting a new product launched by a brand, and there was a film crew interview coming up later. Xie Jianyuan, however, kept looking at his phone. He peeked over and saw that it was some kind of group chat.
He assumed Xie Jianyuan had suddenly appeared in the fan group to say hello and didn't think much of it. After all, no matter how hard he racked his brains, he couldn't guess what kind of group it was.
Xie Jianyuan turned off his phone and handed it to his assistant, nodding indifferently. Dressed in a suit, he adjusted the buttons on his wrist and walked calmly onto the stage.
On the other side, Xu Chun finally finished filming the face mask commercial and hurriedly washed his face. He hadn't slept well for the past few days because of work, and his eyes were slightly bloodshot. When Su Li saw this, she asked her assistant to put some eye drops in his eyes.
"What's the plan next?" Xu Chun asked, rubbing her eyes.
Su Li said, "There's an interview being conducted to promote 'Twin Cities,' and the guests invited are you and Xie Jianyuan."
Filming for "Twin Cities" finally wrapped up at the end of last month. The news of the wrap was even paid for by the investors to trend on social media that day, and the film is now in the promotional phase.
Xu Chun casually asked, "Which media outlet did the interviewee come from?"
Su Li glanced at Xu Chun, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping herself, "... They're from Bilibili."
"Oh, B..." Xu Chun paused for a moment before reacting, her tone involuntarily rising, "Bilibili?"
He said it looked so familiar; his CP-themed videos were a disaster zone, even the viral edit video was first released on Bilibili.
Bilibili) - China's largest gay dating website.
Xu Chun actually believed it.
The interview program was called "A Week of Star Podcasts". When Xu Chun arrived and pushed open the door, he saw that the cameramen and reporters were all in place. They all smiled at him when they saw him.
Whether it was due to Xu Chun's own psychology or not, he felt that their smiles were somewhat malicious, and he instinctively took a step back.
"What's wrong, Brother Chun?" Xie Jianyuan, standing behind him, reached out and touched Xu Chun's waist, stopping him from retreating.
"... fine."
After sitting down on the sofa, the reporter first asked Xie Jianyuan and Xu Chun to introduce themselves, as is customary, and then asked a few questions based on the cards.
They were all ordinary questions, such as "What's the scene that left the deepest impression on you?" or "What interesting things happened during filming?"
As Xu Chun gave her official reply, she couldn't help but relax.
Just as he let his guard down, the reporter suddenly threw out a question, which immediately made his heart leap into his throat.
Have you guys seen that video that's been really going viral online lately?
Xu Chun's smile froze. Seeing the mocking smile in the reporter's eyes, she quickly racked her brains for a solution.
At this moment, Xie Jianyuan suddenly smiled and spoke up, "I've seen it."
Xu Chun's smile was about to fade. Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, he reached out and secretly pinched Xie Jianyuan's waist from behind, signaling him to watch his words.
Upon hearing his answer, the reporter's smile widened, and he began to coax, "So, what are your thoughts?"
Xu Chun coughed lightly. "My impression is... well... the editing is pretty good, the scene transitions and background music, etc."
Xie Jianyuan glanced at Xu Chun with a half-smile, his eyes filled with a doting affection that was hard for others to detect, but he didn't say anything.
The reporter then shifted her focus to another question. She glanced at the prepared question card in her hand, her expression somewhat strange, and suppressed a laugh as she asked, "So, does anyone know what 'gay heartthrob' means?"
