The straight man in the entertainment circle

On the train to Mango Terrace, the four of them lost the excitement they felt for the first time.

Song Wenjie and Zhang Li were silent and didn't say much. They both knew about the online violence Lin Li had suffered in the past few days, but they couldn't do much to help.

"Lin Li, what are you going to sing this time?" Wu Ruobing tried to talk about some normal topics to make the atmosphere no longer dull.

"I haven't thought about it," Lin Li said.

The topic just stopped.

The four of them slept drowsily on the train for a while and then arrived at Fulan.

Lin Li took his luggage and walked out of the station.

The other three followed him, looking worried.

"Son." Song Wenjie called Lin Li.

"What's wrong, Mom?"

Song Wenjie hesitated for a while and said, "Otherwise...we won't participate in this competition."

"Why?"

Lin Li asked. Actually, there was no need to ask. He probably knew that his mother was afraid that he would not be able to withstand the attacks from netizens and that such things would continue to happen once he continued to participate.

As a mother, it is really heartbreaking to see your child being scolded online.

The only way she could think of was to let Lin Li withdraw from such a stage. No one would pay attention, and naturally no one would take advantage of him.

"It's just that... Mom came here once, and I don't think it's that good. It's better for Su Cheng. Let's withdraw from the competition this time, right?"

Song Wenjie had actually made up her mind, but was afraid that Lin Li would not agree, so she asked in a discussion tone.

Lin Li was silent for a while, then looked outside the station. In the distance, there were several people holding banners with Lin Li's name written on them.

The leader saw Lin Li and screamed crazily.

"Lin Li, we support you!"

"Lin Li, come on!"

"Lin Li, you are the best!"

Lin Li turned around and said to his mother: "Mom, have you seen it? Your son won't give up like this. Don't worry, I'm fine. They are the ones who caused the trouble."

Outside the station, a few thin figures were holding high support signs. They looked small, but their faces were full of determination.

Their shouts were not loud, but they were extremely powerful.

Lin Li walked up to them and hugged them one by one, and then said, "Go back, just watch TV on Saturday night."

However, those few fans refused to leave no matter what, and followed Lin Li all the way.

Until Lin Li got into the car arranged by the program team and disappeared, they still stood outside the station and watched Lin Li leave.

After arriving at the hotel, we took a short rest and had lunch. The people from the program team came to gather everyone again.

This time, it’s a 50-20 game.

There are many fewer players than in the previous period, but except for Jiang Da, the remaining players are not weak.

After the last episode of the show, the contestants all knew about Lin Li, but because of Wu Ruobing's vote fraud and the controversy about Lin Li's character on the Internet, they still stayed away from Lin Li.

Only Jiang Da still talked to Lin Li enthusiastically without any scruples.

Lin Li's affection for Jiang Da suddenly deepened a lot. Even if he didn't like to talk, he still tried his best to answer all questions.

Just like last time, around two o'clock in the afternoon, all the top 50 players gathered under the Mango Terrace building.

Although there are fewer contestants, this time there are many more fans under the Mango TV building.

After the program is broadcast one episode after another, the popularity of the contestants will increase and the number of fans will naturally increase.

The players got out of the car and the fans screamed.

"Bai Yanan! Come on!"

"Zi Rui, Wang Zi Rui!"

"Lu Xiang, fly all the way!"

"Lu Xiao, step through the clouds!"

"Li Mengfei, you must be the champion!"

Compared to the first time, fans started shouting slogans this time. Obviously, they also had regular fan organizers.

Lin Li looked towards the distance where his fans used to be. Lin Li originally thought that even if there were people there, there wouldn't be too many of them.

But what Lin Li didn't expect was that, visible to the naked eye, he had many more fans than other players!

They were uniformly dressed in the uniforms of the Royal Guards and held Lin Li's support signs.

When they saw Lin Li, they shouted in unison: "Lin Li, Lin Li, standing proudly in the rain of bullets!"

"Lands of trees, trees of trees, guns and bullets raining down, standing proudly!"

…

again and again.

If nothing else, all the Imperial Guards were chanting this slogan.

Some of their voices were angry, some were choked, and some were full of pride, which shocked all the players present.

What a strong cohesion of fans!

The waves are rushing through the sand, and only by going through the wind and rain together, the only ones left behind are the trusted partners!

Lin Li's eyes were a little moist. In the past two days, he had been completely blackmailed by the entire Internet. Countless people questioned his character and insulted his family.

Even these fans followed him and got scolded badly.

This slogan, which originally sounded a little silly and shameful, now sounds extremely warm.

Lin Li bowed to the Yulin soldiers, then raised his eyes to look at their faces, trying to memorize their faces.

Wu Ruobing suddenly ran into Lin Li's fan group and started shouting along with the imperial guards.

"Lands of trees, trees of trees, guns and bullets raining down, standing proudly!"

Wu Ruobing's fans who were next door saw Wu Ruobing doing this, and they also walked to where Lin Li's fans were, put down Wu Ruobing's sign, raised Lin Li's sign, and joined the support team!

For a time, other players were overshadowed.

The shouts of their fans were like mosquitoes in the joint shouts of Lin Li and Wu Ruobing's fans.

Lu Xiang glanced at the Imperial Guards coldly and sneered: "They are the same."

A contestant named Wang Zirui who was with Lu Xiang said angrily: "Lu Xiang, be careful if people sing to tease you."

"Hahaha, you have the nerve to sing that kind of garbage song?"

Lin Li had sensitive ears and heard the conversation between the two people from a distance, and silently wrote down their names in a small book.

Brother, I have other plans today and I won’t argue with you.

After thanking the fans several times, Lin Li and Wu Ruobing walked into the Mango TV building together.

Entering the preparation room, Lin Li found that it was a little different from before.

The obvious change is that there are many more advertiser brands in the preparation room.

One of them turned out to be Yiren yogurt, and the spokesperson on the yogurt was none other than Wu Ruobing.

Lin Li looked at Wu Ruobing, who was also looking at him. Seeing him, he smiled and said, "It seems that their company has found a program team to sponsor the show. They acted very quickly."

Yiren Yogurt Company is indeed moving fast enough.

In just five days, endorsements, packaging, naming, and advertising were all done, which is very efficient.

Other players also discovered this and cast envious and jealous glances at Wu Ruobing.

Especially Li Mengfei in the corner of the preparation room.

Li Mengfei was practicing her voice, but she kept looking at Wu Ruobing through the floor-to-ceiling glass.

She had begun to realize that this contestant, whom she had not cared about before, might be her biggest opponent on the show.

In the mirror, Lin Li and Wu Ruobing stood together.

Lin Li asked: "What are you singing tonight?"

Wu Ruobing smiled and said: "Sing your song."

"What?"

Wu Ruobing picked up a box of yogurt and said, "The program crew and the brand owner asked me to sing "Sour, Sweet, and Sweet Is Me" once in the show."

The song "Sweet and Sour Is Me" was sung during the online audition, but not many people paid attention to the online audition, which was far less than the TV audience.

Yiren Yogurt took a fancy to this song and naturally hoped that more people would know the song. They sponsored the show, which the program team naturally agreed to.

As Wu Ruobing endorsed Yiren Yogurt, she naturally agreed to the conditions they proposed.

Lin Li didn't object. He couldn't change what was decided by the program team and the title sponsor.

The song "Sweet and Sour Is Me" is indeed suitable to be sung on this stage. Although it was sung once in an online audition, the audience's coincidence was not high, so there is no need to worry.

On the contrary, if Wu Rubing sings this song, more people will know that he wrote the song, and his reputation will increase a lot.
