Although both were working as agents, Li Yuan seemed much happier on this side. Chi Feiran had always been very cooperative with his work. Especially after understanding the rules in the industry, he demanded his own schedule to be arranged similarly to that of a normal artist. Recently, when he was in high demand again, his work intensity completely matched that of the top performers in the industry.
Chi Jun, who hadn’t seen his son for half a month, couldn’t help but feel distressed. “You’ve lost weight, you’ve lost weight. Eat more and replenish.”
Chi Feiran knew this was just his father’s parental filter, but he didn’t say anything. He just ate the obviously excessive amount of dinner.
He wasn’t afraid of gaining weight. Firstly, his body was still growing, and secondly, he maintained a certain amount of exercise every day, so it wasn’t easy for him to gain weight.
After finishing the meal, Chi Feiran thought Chi Jun would ask about his two weeks away, but Chi Jun didn’t ask much at all. He just said a few words, telling him not to tire himself out too much.
Chi Feiran was a little puzzled at first, but then he understood.
His father was probably afraid of asking and making it awkward. He should have already known about Chris being there, so asking further might easily lead to asking about the situation at that house.
Chi Feiran tacitly avoided this and talked to him about his upcoming work schedule.
Even when Chi Jun was younger, his work intensity was high. Even now, he wasn’t necessarily idle every day, but hearing Chi Feiran talk about his schedule still made him feel distressed.
Chi Jun: “Don’t tire yourself out too much. Some jobs aren’t that important; you can have Li Yuan cancel them.”
He had worked hard for half his life, was he just going to let his son run around like an ordinary newcomer, suffering through schedules?
Chi Feiran just smiled and said, “I know.”
But he didn’t mention reducing his workload. Chi Jun also had no choice. If his son wanted to progress, could he stop him? He just thought he’d have Han Hengliang privately talk to Li Yuan again about this, to simplify things a bit more.
Although Chi Jun understood that Li Yuan definitely wouldn’t dare to treat his son like an ordinary newcomer, he still felt sorry for his son.
After Chi Feiran came back, he only rested for a day to adjust to the jet lag before diving into work. After all, the filming of “Perfect Holiday” this time was mainly leisure-oriented, and the workload wasn’t heavy.
It was only after resuming work that Chi Feiran once again felt the weight of being in the limelight, how exhausting it could be.
Especially when there wasn’t Caesar by his side to vent, he felt even more tired.
The “Perfect Holiday” production team had already announced the second guest, seemingly preparing to build momentum one after another until the program aired.
When Chi Feiran had some free time, he messaged Rong Jin: “Haha, it’ll be even more lively when they find out Brother Rong is also going!”
As a result, Rong Jin sent him two documents, asking him: “Which one do you think is better?”
Chi Feiran opened them and found that they were two sets of music scores, one of which was the single that had topped the charts for twenty weeks, previously in his hands!
Chi Feiran’s mind raced, and he immediately sent a voice message: “The second one!”
After sending the voice message, Rong Jin knew he was available to talk, so he sent a voice message back: “You chose so quickly?”
Chi Feiran was taken aback for a moment, realizing he had almost replied to Rong Jin as soon as he finished reading the files, so he hurriedly explained: “I’ve seen this song before, and I really liked it at the time.”
Rong Jin listened to Chi Feiran’s voice message repeatedly before saying, “Alright, then it’s this one.”
Chi Feiran was overjoyed and almost jumped up, asking, “Brother Rong, when will you record it? Can I come to watch?”
Of course, Rong Jin wanted him to come, so he said, “I’ll let you know once it’s arranged.”
Chi Feiran was ecstatic. “Then I’ll get to listen to Brother Rong’s live performance!”
Hearing the joy in his voice, Rong Jin felt a sweet sourness in his heart, and a bit of gratitude that he knew everything was a misunderstanding before he said it out loud. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to talk like this now.
Two weeks later, the identities of the last two guests for “Perfect Holiday” were also revealed. Weibo was flooded with news about Rong Jin and Ning Xuan.
Many fans speculated that Rong Jin’s participation in the program might be related to Ning Xuan.
Moreover, they particularly brought up the five consecutive love songs he had shared before, linking them to Ning Xuan.
The gossip-loving masses were stirred up. This association was really intriguing. If Ning Xuan was the one with emotional entanglements with Rong Jin, wouldn’t those five songs make perfect sense!
A woman once admired, married someone else, and when they meet again, everything has changed…
But most of Rong Jin’s fans didn’t agree with this interpretation. They thought it made no sense at all!
When Ning Xuan wasn’t married, Rong Jin couldn’t develop anything with her, and even during her wedding, Rong Jin didn’t do anything unusual. He even attended the wedding and gave generous gifts. It’s only now after the divorce that he started sharing sad love songs. How ridiculous.
Some of Rong Jin’s fans were annoyed and directly criticized Ning Xuan, calling her a second-hand product who dared to throw herself at Rong Jin.
And whether they were Rong Fei CP fans or just didn’t want Ning Xuan to be paired with Rong Jin, they brought Chi Feiran’s name into it, saying Rong Jin couldn’t have joined the program just because of Chi Feiran. Just think about how many Weibo posts Rong Jin made for Chi Feiran!
Although this argument was responded to by quite a few Rong Jin fans, they certainly couldn’t push Rong Jin towards a same-sex CP. They emphasized that it was brotherly love!
This caused a stir. The comment count under the official Weibo account of “Perfect Holiday” skyrocketed. There were arguments, discussions about the male and female CP, spectators, and several other guests’ fans coming to make their presence known. The speed of comment scrolling was simply overwhelming.
When Rong Jin scrolled through Weibo and saw his fans clamoring that he and Chi Feiran were brothers, he felt lost for a moment but then found it cute. So silently, he clicked into the “Rongran” topic that was created by who knows when and indulged in some sweet content.
The power of CP fans was indeed formidable, and the healing power they brought to Rong Jin was quite astonishing.
Rong Jin was amazed by their actions, considering that he had only announced his participation in the program with Chi Feiran not long ago, and yet someone had already drawn a comic!
And it was quite sweet…
Rong Jin looked at the cartoon version of Chi Feiran in the picture and silently saved it to his phone.
Of course, Chi Feiran also knew about the fan wars, but he didn’t find out on his own. Chen Mengyang saw it and told him.
Chen Mengyang was quite gossipy too, asking him in a low voice, “Um… does Brother Rong have something going on with Sister Ning?”
They couldn’t follow them during filming, although they chatted with the program team a bit, but the news from Chi Feiran’s side wasn’t very reliable!
Chi Feiran glanced at him, finding it amusing. “What’s that? There’s nothing at all, don’t overthink it.”
After recording the program for two weeks, Ning Xuan finally revealed who the program was aimed at. This could be clearly seen by Chi Feiran.
Currently, the topic is hot, but once the program airs, the direction should change.
Chi Feiran suddenly thought about the competition with the male and female god CP. It turned out that it was when he and Rong Jin were CP. He felt a bit embarrassed and awkward for no reason.
Thinking that Rong-ge could even think of ways to boost his popularity after recording the program, Chi Feiran felt that he should also do something in return.
They had agreed that he would write a song for him, so he must work hard on it!
Then Chi Feiran went a bit crazy. Although he would sometimes engage in some creativity in his spare time and jot down inspirations, he had never reached the point where he had to place a recorder by his bedside before going to sleep.
Sometimes, halfway through sleeping, he would wake up, hum a tune, record it, and then go back to sleep.
Li Yuangang had been summoned by the big boss, and seeing his enthusiasm, he couldn’t help but feel a bit scared, advising him, ‘This thing can’t be rushed. Don’t push yourself too hard…’
Chi Feiran couldn’t help but laugh, ‘Brother Yuan, don’t worry, I’m not forcing myself, it’s just… well, let’s just say inspiration is overflowing.’
Whether it was adapting to the current style of the domestic music scene or due to a change in mood, whenever he wrote songs now, inspiration flowed out effortlessly.
Unfortunately, the only downside was that when he thought about singing for Rong Jin, he felt like these inspirations were still lacking something.
Chi Feiran thought that when Rong Jin recorded his song, he could seek inspiration from the scene and perhaps gain some other insights.
“The Perfect Holiday” Castle Episode will officially premiere this Saturday night at eight o’clock.
Due to the unprecedentedly strong lineup of guests, the viewership soared as soon as it aired, and when Rong Jin appeared, it instantly broke the highest ratings record.
The online platforms synchronized with the television station were overloaded, causing those who were originally prepared to watch online to be unable to bear it and were forced to watch it on TV.
Various big V accounts on Weibo were guarding this episode as if it were the Spring Festival Gala, observing the performance of each guest under a magnifying glass.
Chi Feiran, as the first guest to appear, was also given a wave of screenshots, but the anticipation for the following guests was obviously higher, and everyone’s attention quickly shifted.
The treatment of the remaining guests, Qiu Lang and Jiang Haoyun, was also similar. When Qi Ming appeared, his treatment was much better than theirs, after all, he was a recognized potential award-winning actor, and his popularity was still very high.
But what really ignited the whole scene was Rong Jin.
As soon as Rong Jin appeared, screenshots flooded Weibo, marketing accounts and fans praised him like crazy, all overwhelmed by his handsomeness.
The moment the car door opened, dynamic screenshots quickly spread, with captions like: “Let everyone feel what a true king is like!”
Finally, when Ning Xuan appeared, another wave swept the homepage.
This was her first public appearance since her hiatus, and she emerged like a queen with news of her divorce and rumors with Rong Jin.
When she reached out to Rong Jin and he walked towards her, the whole internet exploded.
Whether it was genuine excitement for them or simply influenced by the atmosphere at the moment, it seemed like the whole world thought they were a perfect match!
“Oh my god! Forget everything else! Just looking at their faces, they are truly a perfect match!!!”
“I’m already imagining what their children would look like!”
“Sigh, why are they so good-looking!”
Many marketing accounts were amazed at this effect. It seemed like their previous efforts in promoting the “Behind the Scenes with the Award-winning Actor and Actress” series were not in vain!
Look, the program has just started airing and those old Weibo posts are getting popular again!
But they didn’t have much time to be happy, because they felt… um… something seemed off…
This program seems to be going in the wrong direction!
After editing, many narrative elements had already been shown to the audience before the guests appeared. With two weeks’ worth of filming material, the pacing of the show was very good and didn’t drag on.
The first game segment came quickly, but the program groups didn’t mess around as they had imagined.
Moreover…
“Hahaha! Oh my god, Chi Feiran is simply toxic!!! Look at the host’s expression!!!”
“Don’t look at the host! Look at Rong Rong!!! Although he disguised it well, I can still see his confusion! It’s definitely not what he expected!”
“I’m laughing so hard, it’s the first time I’ve seen a segment like this, where the guest is directly put on the spot. This is really unfair to the program group who wanted to stir up trouble!”
“Exactly! Later, they even put words of reproach on the producer’s face, saying, ‘This is not what I planned!'”
“Haha, young man, I have high hopes for you, please continue to disrupt the program group’s plans!”
“We came for the Rong Ning CP, but unexpectedly, we’ve been won over by the little friendship circle. Their reactions are too cute!”
“We came for the Rong Ning CP, but now it feels like the queen and the scholar are a better match, so adorable…”
“Am I the only one going crazy over the noble gentleman and the straightforward and quick-witted man combo?”
The audience’s imaginations were running wild. They could see countless CP combinations among the six guests, making the show look less like a variety show and more like a dating scene.
When Caesar appeared, all the cat lovers went crazy again, their enthusiasm matching that of the CP fans. They were shouting, “Let go of that young boy! Come at me! I can handle it!!!”
At this point, the program team added: “Caesar, Ragdoll cat breed, 3 years old, weighs 22 pounds.”
“Haha, can’t handle it…”
“Wow, this cute little one is really solid!”
“Hey, is this for real? Did the program team arrange this cat?”
“Probably, just to spice things up, otherwise how coincidental…”
“Can we please focus on watching the show? Why are we getting all weird about it?”
Chi Feiran was still a newcomer, and except for the opening, where his topic heated up quickly, some fans of other guests were dissatisfied.
Some even speculated conspiracy, wondering if Chi Feiran had sprinkled catnip on himself. This cat looked unreasonably enthusiastic, and they sighed that nowadays stars would do anything for publicity.
As soon as this was said, there were those who agreed, those who refuted, and it became quite lively.
Some impatient ones just started ranting directly: “Damn it, are you treating a variety show like a palace struggle? Can’t it be without conspiracy theories? Are Rong Jin and Ning Xuan dead or something?”
