Do You Still Hate Her? 10 – Not innocent, know third still third.

Just when everyone was in pain, a voice suddenly rang out : “The number of viewers in the live stream has been increasing! The online feedback is also very positive! Many marketing accounts have already posted the edited version of the live rehearsal with Teacher Shang, and it’s trending!”

Everyone : “?!?”

The audience loves to watch it! That’s not a problem! Then they, the staffs, can endure! Audiences are the traffic! Audiences are Gods!

On Weibo.

@Entertainment_Daily(V) : [Click to watch the theme song “Chen” of <The Most Hated Her and Him>, composed and written by Yu Su, performed by all-star lineup of Ye Lu, Shang Lu, Xu Ze, Lin Yanyan, Jiang Jing, and Song Zeqian. Check out the edited version for pure enjoyment, click the link now—]

Underneath this Weibo post, the first comments to appear are from fans.

Even if they haven’t listened to it yet, just seeing Yu Su as the composer and performer Ye Lu, they know that any production by SN is bound to be excellent!

[Ah, let’s cheer for our Brother!]

[Can we hear another work by Yu Su? Get ready for some ear-pleasing happiness!]

[We can add another member to our repeat playlist!]

Everyone is looking forward to it.

However, after clicking on it—

[…What is this thing?]

[I took off my headphones, I feel like I’m going deaf.]

[Help me, hahaha! Shang Lu’s about to poke Song Zeqian’s face with her chopsticks.]

[Are they doing it on purpose? How can they sing so badly and yet be so funny?]

[Thank goodness Ye Lu is here to save… save what? Why does Ye Lu also sing so badly?]

[The fall of the lead vocalist.]

[This story is a long one. I suggest everyone watch the live broadcast to understand the cause and effect. It’s absurd yet reasonable.]

[I’ve already forgotten what this song was supposed to be like… I vaguely remember Ye Lu and Shang Lu singing quite well at the beginning.]

[@The_Most_Hated_Her_And_Him, hurry up and release the full version for us! Let’s enjoy it!]

Due to the high popularity of this song online, the production team released it on the following day at noon.

@The_Most_Hated_Her_And_Him(V) : [We have received everyone’s requests! The highly anticipated theme song is here!

Lyrics and composition by @Yu_Su

[Yu Su : Actually, my name doesn’t need to be mentioned at a time like this. I don’t really want to admit that this song has anything to do with me.]

[Why are there two different versions? The production team is leading the way in snatching the limelight again!]

A few hours later, the untuned version of “Chen” simultaneously climbed to the top of the daily hot charts and collection charts on music apps, while the version tuned by sound engineers that spent millions of yuan received little attention.

On Weibo, netizens quickly started various imitation contests, using the topic #The_Most_Hated_Her_And_Him_Chen#.

Singing well may not be easy, but singing badly is too simple! As a result, more and more people joined this trend, imitating the off-key singing of different guests and mentioning the production team’s account.

At this moment, Yu Su also posted a Weibo post, using the same topic.

When the video was opened, it showed him playing the prelude on the guitar.

[Hahaha, couldn’t Yu Su stand it anymore? Is he coming out to tell everyone how the original version of this song sounded?]

[Teacher Yu Su, please come and give everyone an extra lesson!]

However, the fact proved that they were all overthinking.

In the next four minutes, they witnessed Yu Su imitating the different off-key singing styles of each guest during their parts. In Ye Lu’s part, he even intentionally broke a note.

[Welcome to the Yu Su Impersonation Show…?]

[I never expected to hear something like this before opening the video.]

[It seems like Yu Su has become more cheerful after meeting everyone on this show.]

[Yu Su: I have gained confidence and gone crazy (smirking emoji)]

[Oh no, the worst case scenario has happened! There’s no one left in this world who can sing this song properly anymore!!!]

The recording of this variety show episode concluded.

Outside, their dedicated fans, regardless of who their favorite star was, became extremely united and felt like one big family.

Because when they came out, all the fans started singing “Chen” together, the off-key version.

This scene is extremely absurd.

Ye Lu covered his ears, and his rebellious fans also came out, singing the most excited and loudest.

Someone shouted at him, “Ye Lu, if you keep performing at this level in the future, you should apologize to Song Zeqian! It’s time to change careers!”

Ye Lu’s fans are criticizing him, while Xu Ze’s fans are completely opposite, encouraging him.

“Xu Ze! As long as you’re willing to open your mouth and sing, we’ll listen too!”

“Even if Moms go deaf! As long as you’re willing to sing, we’ll all listen!”

Someone even earnestly suggested that Song Zeqian could try directing musicals. No need to find actors, if he can make these people perform well on stage, he’ll be a famous director for the ages!

The fans get along harmoniously, and this scene becomes comical.

Meng Zhichuan, who was originally watching the livestream, felt overwhelmed. After recording these few episodes, he couldn’t help but wonder if his artist would appear on some program that unleashes their natural instincts?

However, netizens were very fond of this set-up, and her reputation has also been improving.

So when Meng Zhichuan came to pick up Shang Lu, he said, “Congratulations, Queen of Songs.”

In the face of Meng Zhichuan’s teasing, Shang Lu politely replied, “Thank you, King of Dance.”

Meng Zhichuan : “…”

Because Meng Zhichuan once got drunk and scared the security guard by dancing ballet in front of the company gate, but of course, he was fooled by Shang Lu.

The past is not worth mentioning.

So Meng Zhichuan chose not to mention this matter anymore and said, “I came to find you this time because there is something very important.”

“What is it?” Shang Lu took out a candy from her bag and asked while opening it and eating.

The smile on Meng Zhichuan’s face finally couldn’t be hidden anymore. He said, “Director Han Cheng has already called. He wants you to sign the contract tomorrow and preferably join the crew within three days.”

Shang Lu’s eyes lit up.

She was a little dizzy with joy and asked, “Is this role mine? Are you really sure it’s me?”

“Sure.” Meng Zhichuan replied cheerfully, then said, “The filming will take about half a month, but you’ll be staying in the hotel provided by the crew throughout the entire process. Go back and pack your luggage in the evening, and I’ll arrange an assistant to take care of you. Take good care of yourself as well, okay?”

“Okay!” Shang Lu immediately agreed and reached out to Meng Zhichuan, saying, “Give it to me.”

Meng Zhichuan asked, “Give you what?”

Shang Lu said, “Of course, the script!”

Meng Zhichuan replied, “Well, there’s no need to rush for it right now.”

“I’ll definitely do my best. I can’t let Director Han Cheng regret choosing me.” Shang Lu lowered her head and since Meng Zhichuan didn’t have the script with him, she decided to take another look at the electronic version on her phone.

For Shang Lu, she really wanted to join this crew because there were many other senior actors she admired and respected.

It was like having the opportunity to enter a class full of top students at Tsinghua University. Even if it was just a half-month experience, it was worth cherishing!

That evening, Shang Lu carefully studied the script, and the next morning, she went with Meng Zhichuan to sign the contract and took the makeup photos.
