Looking at his indifferent profile, Cherry became even more timid and could only huddle in the corner with the cameraman, letting the camera work on its own.
She cried out in her heart in despair: "Manager, please come out quickly!"
It seemed they had actually heard her cries, because the door to the upstairs room opened.
Ye Cang, who seemed to be working hard, actually looked over faster than them, but quickly looked away again.
Shen Huai walked out of the room and greeted them.
Cherry originally wanted to ask about Shen Huai's injuries, but seeing his unnatural gait and Ye Cang's nervous attitude, she suddenly had a guess.
Her mouth was open in an "O" shape.
Could their relationship really be like this?! That's too...too intense!
Chapter 22
Shen Huai was unaware that Yingtao was already fantasizing about him and Ye Cang. His injuries weren't actually that serious, but the process of applying the medicine was too embarrassing, and he didn't want to see Ye Cang for a while. However, after resting for a morning, his mood calmed down. Thinking about the filming tasks ahead and worried that Ye Cang might cause some trouble, he went out to check.
Seeing Shen Huai come downstairs, Ye Cang wanted to ask him how his injuries were. But Shen Huai seemed to have guessed his thoughts, and before he could speak, he gave him a cold glare, silencing Ye Cang.
Cherry had already suspected the relationship between the two, and seeing their exchange only confirmed her suspicions.
However, with Shen Huai by her side, Cherry finally dared to ask Ye Cang about the arrangement for the next match.
The competition is just a few days away. According to her colleagues, the arrangements for the other contestants have been finalized, and they only need to make some minor adjustments in the remaining days. However, Ye Cang is still stuck on the arrangement.
Cherry believed in her idol, but the director was urging them to hurry. The trailer was about to be edited, and Ye Cang couldn't just use his doghouse-like room as a substitute, could he? Even if the director agreed, Cherry wouldn't allow it.
Although their recent interactions have put her adoration for her idol in jeopardy, she still felt she had loved him and wanted to leave him with some semblance of dignity.
Ye Cang had no idea how much effort his female admirer had put in to save him a pair of underwear. However, with Shen Huai beside him, he somewhat toned down his lazy nature and explained his entire arrangement concept.
Cherry opened her mouth wide once again.
Every time she thought she had seen Ye Cang's limit, he would surprise her with an even more unexpected move.
This idea is just... absolutely outrageous!
Cherry excitedly imagined how sensational this completely revamped "Meow Meow" would be when it appeared on stage!
Everyone said Ye Cang was lucky to have gained the appreciation of Yan Xiangming and Fang Jiqing, which is why he performed so well in the first few competitions. Even when Ye Cang said on the show that he composed the music for "Summer Insects," many people didn't believe him, thinking that it was the work of the two masters and that Ye Cang was lying.
But after spending some time with him, and especially after hearing Ye Cang's story today, Cherry can say with certainty that the arrangement of "Summer Insects" and even the controversial "Mulholland Drive" were Ye Cang's ideas.
Ye Cang, whose status as a male god was originally in jeopardy, has regained his No. 1 position in Cherry's heart.
However, Cherry did not forget her work. She already had an idea for editing the trailer and couldn't wait to go back and put her ideas into practice. She had a feeling that this competition would definitely shock everyone. So why not start with the trailer?

After returning to the TV station, Cherry immediately immersed herself in editing.
It took four or five hours to finally finish the rough cut of the trailer. Although post-production hasn't been done yet, Cherry is already very satisfied with it.
She stretched, ready to take a break.
She closed the software, plugged in her external hard drive, and then secretly opened a folder. The folder had a very proper name: "Core Socialist Values." However, the contents inside were not so harmonious; they were all BL (Boys' Love) fan art from various popular artists.
Cherry chuckled as she watched, and after a while, she remembered something and opened the footage she had shot that day.
Shen Huai and Ye Cang exchanged glances several times, both seemingly avoiding eye contact. Ye Cang looked at Shen Huai a few times, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, while Shen Huai unconsciously pressed his lower back a few times.
Based on Cherry's years of experience navigating the toxic world, the relationship between these two is definitely not simple.
No! It should be said that she had already sensed it from the first time she met her manager.
She opened the folder next to "Socialist Core Values," a folder called "Chinese Dream." But upon opening it, she found it filled with short videos of Shen Huai and Ye Cang interacting, including the first interview with Shen Huai.
Cherry meticulously edited out all the interactive clips from today and saved them in this folder. Her attention to detail was something even the editing of trailers couldn't match.
Although Cherry had promised Shen Huai that she wouldn't release his parts, she hadn't said she couldn't keep them for herself.
Cherry admired the video one last time, then logged into her alternate account and sent a string of "Awoooooo!" This feeling of being the only one who knew the truth was so lonely…
-
Unaware that their affair had been exposed, Shen Huai and Ye Cang stared blankly at the messages on their computer.
Ye Cang asked Shen Huai somewhat uncertainly, "Did you do this?"
Shen Huai shook his head and asked him in return, "I thought it was another one of your old friends?"
It's no wonder the two reacted so strongly, because just now, Ye Cang and "Mulholland Drive" were trending again, and this time, another person's name was mentioned alongside him.
Fang Zhilan – Dean of Zhongjing Conservatory of Music, Executive Vice President of the China Musicians Association.
Compared to amateur internet celebrities like Uncle Squid, this is a truly influential figure in the music industry.
Dean Fang has been committed to popularizing niche music and improving the audience's musical appreciation.
Over the years, his overseas exchanges have broadened his horizons considerably. He is well aware of the great musical treasure trove his country possesses, but he is also aware of the superficiality of the domestic music market in recent years.
Thirty years ago in China, music styles flourished, and talented musicians emerged one after another. Lu Yang, with his highly recognizable musical style, ignited a rock craze throughout China and even caused a sensation in the West. During his global tour, every stop of Lu Yang's tour sparked local celebrations, and he became a spiritual icon for almost all of Asia.
But what about now?
Dean Fang had always hoped to recreate the glory days of yesteryear, so you can imagine how furious he was when he saw Uncle Squid's Weibo post.
