After get off work that night, Cheng Lang called Meng Tianye.

The phone rang for a long time before anyone answered.Meng Tianye's voice sounded angrily on the other side of the receiver: "Cheng Lang! Do you know what time it is? Why are you calling me so late?"

Hearing Meng Tianye's question, Cheng Lang glanced at the time, it was around 01:30 in the morning!

Cheng Lang disagreed: "Everyone is young. When did you go to bed so early?"

Meng Tianye was speechless.When he was a resident singer in Bai Yujing, he did not go to sleep until three or four o'clock every night.But the situation is different now!He recently recorded a program on TV, and he often recorded that day and night were reversed, all night long.So I developed the habit of taking all the time to rest, supplementing sleep and replenishing physical strength.

Cheng Lang sighed: "Those who know know that you went to the TV station to record programs, but those who don't know think that you participated in some international training camp."

"Isn't it!" Meng Tianye interjected: "You don't know, the coordinator of this program group can be very troublesome. Every time I record my rehearsal to the first and last scene, I have to follow the program The group lined up from the top to the right."

After finishing speaking, Meng Tianye asked curiously again: "It's so late, why are you calling me?"

Cheng Lang didn't keep it secret, and said straight to the point: "Next time the program team will urge you to sign a contract, and you should find a way to record a sound."

Cheng Lang asked Meng Tianye a few questions.Let Meng Tianye ask the other party when the program team forced him to sign a contract.Meng Tianye was a little puzzled, and asked suspiciously, "What's the use of asking these questions?"

"It might irritate the other party," Cheng Lang said.Because the questions he raises are hidden traps.Once the other party answers inappropriately and is exposed, the entire program group and even the TV station will be in trouble.The credibility of the promotion results will be questioned by the audience.

Meng Tianye raised his eyebrows: "Then you still let me ask?"

Cheng Lang asked, "Do you dare to ask?"

"I don't dare." Meng Tianye sneered.A young man of his age can't stand such aggressive tactics: "I didn't want to participate in the competition."

This is a bit duplicity.

Cheng Lang reminded: "You asked these questions. Once the other party finds out that we have bad intentions, the program team is likely to target you."

"They're targeting me now." Meng Tianye knew it well: "I know what kind of situation I'm going to face. I don't care. It's good to be able to breathe a sigh of relief."

Cheng Lang asked again: "When is your next performance? Can there be an audience?"

"Of course." Meng Tianye smiled and said, "Other contestants have fan groups to watch the performance live. Do you want tickets? I can give you two."

"Then give me two tickets." After a short pause, Cheng Lang asked, "You don't want to ask me, why do you ask those questions?"

"It doesn't matter." Meng Tianye said, "Anyway, I want to do this myself." He was just stupid and couldn't ask such a sharp question.Cheng Lang was willing to help him, and Meng Tianye was quite happy.Don't bother to ask too many questions.

Cheng Lang originally wanted to tell Meng Tianye about his future arrangements, but after hearing what Meng Tianye said, he didn't bother to talk about it.

"That's good. Tell me the time of the next performance, and I'll cheer you up then!"

The talent show that Meng Tianye participated in has been recorded to its tenth episode, and the recording time of the public performance happened to be on Saturday afternoon.Cheng Lang took two tickets and dragged Wang Liu'an to cheer for Meng Tianye.

The two arrived at the TV station around ten o'clock in the morning.At that time, many media reporters had gathered at the entrance of the TV station, as well as hundreds of fans holding various aids.Cheng Lang and Wang Liu'an, two big men with a height of about 1.8 meters, stood among a group of girls, and they were particularly out of place.

Wang Liu'an took off his peaked cap to half cover his face uncomfortably, and whispered to Cheng Lang, "Why do I feel so ashamed!"

Cheng Lang deliberately distorted Wang Liu'an's meaning: "Do you think it's shameful to have a friend like Meng Tianye?"

"Of course not!" Brother Wang glared at Cheng Lang angrily: "Did you do it on purpose?"

"Then you think it's embarrassing to come to Meng Tianye's performance?" Cheng Lang asked again.

Brother Wang was completely speechless: "Forget it, I didn't say anything."

"Excuse me, are you also fans of Amano?" A girl walked up to the two of them and asked with a blushing face.While talking, he also secretly glanced at Cheng Lang.

Brother Wang glanced at Cheng Lang with a half-smile.Cheng Lang said with a smile: "We are not his fans, but his friends."

A pair of dark and clear eyes came into sight, and the girl gasped from the impact of Cheng Lang's smile, only to feel that her brain was blank and her whole body was in a state of dizziness—looking at Cheng Lang's handsome photo from a close distance Some evil faces obviously have more visual impact than peeking from a distance.

There was a very slight, extremely restrained exclamation from around.Someone couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "So handsome!"

"A star too?"

"Which company is a newcomer! I haven't seen it before!"

Some media even came over to take two photos.

Brother Wang looked coldly at Cheng Lang, who had already entered the state of peacock opening, and couldn't help shaking his head.

It's not uncommon to be handsome.But it would be terrible if he was targeted by a hunter who knew he was handsome, and was very good at using this skin to attract the attention of his prey, and was always planning to do things anytime, anywhere.

Brother Wang silently mourned for a minute for the TV station that was about to fall into the trap.On the other side, Cheng Lang had already chatted with the fans waiting at the scene and got acquainted.

"Are you all fans of other players? There are so many of you." Cheng Lang said with emotion sincerely.

The competition has entered the 800th to 700th stage, and the recording site for this performance can accommodate a total of 1000 people.Excluding a small portion of media tickets, the [-] fans at the scene shared the more than [-] tickets together.Among them, the most popular players can have more than [-] fans. In addition to cheering and shouting slogans in the outfield, hundreds of tickets can be bought in the infield.Hundreds of people wore the same support uniforms, holding posters, light boards and fluorescent sticks in their hands. They looked like students who were going to participate in the sports meeting, and they were very imposing.As for the unpopular players, there are only a dozen or so fans here and there.

Meng Tianye's popularity among the contestants is not high or low, but there are quite a few fans who came to see his performance.Cheng Lang took a quick look, and there were almost a hundred people.Among them are many familiar faces, all of whom are frequent visitors of Bai Yujing.

"I really didn't expect you and Amano to have such a good relationship." A bar regular among the fans recognized Cheng Lang and Brother Wang, and said with emotion: "I thought you two kings didn't see the king, and no one wanted to see you." who!"

"How is it possible?" Cheng Lang responded solemnly: "Heroes usually cherish each other, and beauties are of course no exception."

Although everyone was used to Cheng Lang always talking nonsense in a serious manner, everyone was still in a daze for a moment when they heard Cheng Lang say such shameless things in public.

"You're so funny. I've never heard a man call himself a beauty." Someone covered his mouth and laughed: "Your mouth is so poor, you must be talking about cross talk, right?"

"The girl has a bright eye." Cheng Lang gave the other party a thumbs up: "I work part-time as a cross talk."

"Part-time talk about cross talk, what do you do full-time—" the girl was interrupted by a voice before she could finish her question.

"Cheng Lang, why are you here?" Brother Zhang looked at Cheng Lang warily.He recognized Cheng Lang at the entrance of the TV station.Thinking of how difficult this person is, Brother Zhang couldn't help feeling vigilant.I was afraid that Cheng Lang would make trouble during the recording of the show.Especially when he saw that the man who came with Cheng Lang was a sturdy man with tattoos on his arms.

"This is a TV station." Brother Zhang warned, "Don't mess around."

Hearing Brother Zhang's words, the fans around couldn't help but look at each other.Someone recognized Brother Zhang as the manager of Star Entertainment Media, and they couldn't help discussing it in whispers.

"What are you doing, with such a bad attitude?"

"Isn't that person the staff of Star Entertainment Media who is in charge of signing contracts with artists? How could he treat Meng Tianye's friends with such an attitude?"

"You don't know? I heard that Star Entertainment Media wanted to force Meng Tianye to sign a contract, but Meng Tianye refused. It is said that he will be eliminated after this performance."

"Where did you hear the gossip?"

"I have friends who work on television. They pretty much know about it."

"That's normal. Didn't the program team say that as long as you enter the top ten in the country, you must sign a contract with Star Entertainment Media!"

"That is also a matter of entering the top ten in the country. Haven't you entered the top ten in the country yet? The performance of the [-]th Jin and [-]th will eliminate people. It must be a secret operation. Meng Tianye is not convinced!"

Hearing the messy discussions around, Brother Zhang's face changed: "What are you talking about!"

"Let me emphasize here. The competition process of our "Tomorrow's Starlight" is very fair and transparent. The results of the competition will be based on the judges' scores and the number of votes voted by the audience. Whether Meng Tianye can advance smoothly depends on his performance. Conquer the judges and the audience. It’s not something that can be changed by casual rumors.”

Having said that, Brother Zhang glared at Cheng Lang: "Come with me."

Cheng Lang touched his nose and followed Brother Zhang with a smile.Brother Zhang took Cheng Lang and Wang Liu'an directly into the TV station with a gloomy expression, found a quiet corner, and asked in a deep voice: "The matter of the program team persuading Meng Tianye to sign a contract has never been made public. Why are there so many people outside?" Did the fans know? Are you spreading rumors?"

"Let me tell you, young people, don't be greedy for a moment's quick talk. Your random rumors affect the credibility of the program group, and the program group can sue you."

"Don't be so nervous!" Cheng Lang said with a smile: "Is there any comment on the Internet? Your program team monitors public opinion every day, don't you know?"

Brother Zhang's expression softened slightly: "Don't be joking with me. Don't think that I don't know what he means when Meng Tianye asked those questions when he called the program team. He must be planning to make recordings to trick us, right? It's a pity that you are too young, and your methods are still a little tender."

Brother Zhang sneered, and said deliberately: "If the program team wants to eliminate a player with average strength, what tricks do they need to do?"

Cheng Lang nodded, quite agreeing: "Star Entertainment Media has a big career, and if you want to eliminate a player, it's not just a matter of pinching."

"It's good that you know." Brother Zhang looked at Cheng Lang, and said kindly: "I know you may be a little unconvinced and feel that you are underappreciated. You feel that the company does not appreciate you. This is normal. I see young people like you a lot Yes. The newborn calf has a high spirit, and he always has to hit the wall a few times before he can see the reality clearly. If you really want to benefit Meng Tianye, then persuade him to sign the contract quickly. He can still earn a C-level contract by signing the contract now. If you really wait until the performance is eliminated, it will be difficult to take regret medicine."

Wang Liu'an rolled his eyes, and couldn't help saying: "Then don't bother you. Anyway, it's the pillar of our Bai Yujing. If it's a big deal, I'll turn around and go back to Bai Yujing to sing for a few years. When the time comes, I will sign with Qin Dynasty Records is not much better than the grass-roots teams of cats and dogs outside."

Brother Zhang's complexion changed, and he took a closer look at Wang Liu'an: "Yo, forgive my blindness, is this also a colleague?"

Cheng Lang introduced: "Wang Liu'an, the manager of our performing arts department of Bai Yujing. Bai Yujing's mainstay will sign a contract with Qin Dynasty Records every year. According to this theory, the celebrities in the music scene that Brother Wang holds are not as good as you, Brother Zhang. How much difference."

Brother Zhang's expression changed.Not much worse.If Cheng Lang's statement is really followed, Wang Liu'an is at least a gold broker.

"So, you are here to mess things up?"

"That's not enough." Cheng Lang still had the same smile on his face: "It's just that I haven't seen the world, so come and see what the TV station is recording like?"

"Then you guys should take a good look at it!" After the words came to this point, Brother Zhang didn't have much interest in chatting.He beckoned a staff member, and smiled at Cheng Lang and Wang Liu'an with a fake face: "I'm really sorry, in order to cooperate with the recording of the show, all the audience are not allowed to bring mobile phones. Please hand in your mobile phones, both of you."

Hearing Brother Zhang's words, Cheng Lang had no objection.He took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and when the staff reached out to collect the mobile phone, he suddenly thought of something: "Your program team just collects the mobile phone like this, you won't lose my mobile phone?"

"Of course not." The staff of the program group interjected: "Two broken phones, it's not enough."

"Two broken mobile phones?" Cheng Lang smiled playfully, and keenly grasped the staff's loopholes: "So, among the more than 700 viewers who recorded the show live, only two of us need to collect the mobile phones?"

"If this gets out, it's probably the show crew's stone hammer against Meng Tianye?"

Brother Zhang and the staff's expressions changed.

After all, the staff was a little impatient, and said, "Why is it so troublesome! If you don't want to participate in the recording of the program, you can leave the TV station now."

"Of course we want to participate in the recording of the program, so we don't lie down and sleep at home on the big weekend, and work hard to come to the TV station. But we didn't expect that we would be treated differently when we came to the TV station." Cheng Lang said slowly: "I just raised a little question out of consideration for the safety of my personal property. Your program team really has a big temper, and you will shove people at every turn!"

"Those who don't know think that the two of us don't have tickets in our hands, and we're not the audience!"

"Why do you talk so much nonsense? I'll just kick you out—" The staff of the program group were interrupted by Brother Zhang before they could finish speaking.

Brother Zhang frowned and looked at Cheng Lang with some headaches.After being scolded by his immediate boss, Brother Zhang also deeply reflected on his behavior.How could he be fooled by Cheng Lang unknowingly and do such a stupid thing.Especially after he saw through Meng Tianye's behavior of calling the program group, intending to dig a hole for the program group and planning to record, Brother Zhang admitted that he was indeed a little bit angry.He felt that Meng Tianye didn't know good from bad, and he didn't even have a good impression of Cheng Lang.

But this doesn't stop Zhang Ge from investigating Cheng Lang from purpose.Especially after seeing the video of how Cheng Lang scolded Shen Chengan and how he helped his classmates collect debts on the Internet, Brother Zhang deeply realized that Cheng Lang is a difficult person, and he is very good at setting up traps and making troubles.

So Brother Zhang is very vigilant and must not give Cheng Lang a chance to do things to guide public opinion.

"Don't get me wrong, we're recording a performance this time, and all the audience's mobile phones will be confiscated. Just now the staff was just a little impatient, and I admit that his attitude was not good. But we definitely don't mean to treat it differently. You don't want to Persecution paranoia."

"Exactly!" The staff took a look at Brother Zhang, and immediately added, "Where did you two come from? You don't even know the basic rule of collecting mobile phones before the TV station records a program?"

"Really?" Cheng Lang smiled: "That may be because we worry too much. You see, many things can be understood by everyone as long as they are well communicated."

Cheng Lang and Wang Liu'an handed over their phones.Brother Zhang didn't want to cause any more trouble, so he took Cheng Lang and Wang Liu'an directly to the studio.Not long after sitting down, I heard a burst of complaints from around.A fan handed in his mobile phone and said, "Why are we suddenly asked to hand in our mobile phone? Didn't we just need to turn off the phone before?"

Brother Wang glanced at Cheng Lang: "How do you know that they will definitely accept the phone?"

Cheng Lang didn't answer Brother Wang's question, but instead asked, "Have you recorded it?"

"Of course it was recorded." Brother Wang took out a recording pen from his pocket and held it up to Cheng Lang: "But I don't think it's useful. They were very cautious and didn't say anything they shouldn't say."

Before the words were finished, Brother Zhang appeared in the aisle mysteriously: "What are you holding in your hand?"

Brother Zhang couldn't help but pull out the recording pen in Wang Lu'an's hand, his face turned blue and white.Fortunately, he was worried and had been paying attention to the situation here.Unexpectedly, Cheng Lang and Wang Liu'an really had ulterior motives: "I'm sorry, I suspect that you have other sneak shooting tools on your body, please come out with me, the two of you."

Cheng Lang said with a smile: "You misunderstood. This is just a recording pen we use for work, not a secret camera tool."

Brother Zhang rolled his eyes.It would be a ghost to believe Cheng Lang's words.

The fans who had already sat down all looked at this side and whispered.

Cheng Lang continued to explain: "If you think the existence of this recorder will affect the recording of the program, we can hand it in. Because it is indeed our first time to record a program, and we don't know much about the rules of your TV station. But Brother Zhang You don’t have to slander us for secretly filming.”

Brother Zhang sneered, he was confident that he hadn't said anything that would make people catch him.He also made a nonchalant look and pressed the recording pen directly.He wanted to expose Cheng Lang's lies on the spot.Unexpectedly, there was a burst of passionate electric guitar solo coming from the recorder, and there was no recording at all.

Cheng Lang sighed: "This is a song Meng Tianye wrote for my milk tea shop. I told you that you misunderstood."

Cheng Lang looked at Brother Zhang and said helplessly: "I know the program team is very dissatisfied with Meng Tianye's reluctance to sign with Star Entertainment Media. They will not let Meng Tianye enter the top ten list in the country. We can all understand the program team And the idea of ​​the organizer. You set up the game made by the platform, and you make the rules of the game. Other players want to play the game, they must abide by your rules. Players who don’t want to follow the rules will of course be eliminated. We can also accept this reality This time I came to watch Amano's performance, and I also wanted all of us to come and support Meng Tianye before he left the stage. I don't want to leave any regrets."

"We won't make trouble, and we won't engage in secret filming or anything like that. There's really no need for you to behave like this..."

Cheng Lang paused for a moment, looked up at Brother Zhang's expression, and gently uttered two words: "Guilty."
