Why didn't you tell me earlier that my little sister is still waiting for me?

When it comes to gathering intelligence, framing others, and making things up, the first person Lin Bufan thinks of is Qu Xiaoxiao.

There is no way around it, Qu Xiaoxiao has gained widespread acclaim!

After separating from Zeng Xiaoxian, Lin Bufan went directly to Xiaofan Entertainment!

Lin Bufan had just walked into Qu Xiaoxiao's office when he saw her rushing out in her ten-centimeter high heels. She was wearing a sequined miniskirt that jingled as she walked, like a human wind chime.

"Oh, you're just in time!" Qu Xiaoxiao grabbed Lin Bufan's arm and said, "The 'Idol Producer' talent show you organized is being recorded right now. Come with me to see it live!"

Hearing this, Lin Bufan's eyes lit up: "Did you find the chicken brother I asked you to find?"

"I did find him..." Qu Xiaoxiao curled her lips and said with some dissatisfaction, "I just don't understand why you had to look for him. We spent so much energy on him!"

"You don't understand this." Lin Bufan blinked mysteriously: "This is faith."

Qu Xiaoxiao looked as if she had seen a ghost: "You're a fan? This kind of fan?"

Lin Bufan just smiled without explaining, then took a mint candy from Qu Xiaoxiao's bag and threw it into his mouth.

……

The recording location for "Idol Producer" is Studio 3 of the Shanghai Film and Television Base, adjacent to the filming location for "Battle of the Forbidden City." So, after all the twists and turns, Lin Bufan finally arrived here!

As soon as he got out of the car, Lin Bufan heard a thunderous roar from behind him: "Lin-Bu-Fan, I will kill you!"

Lin Bufan looked back and saw Zeng Xiaoxian rushing towards him with sweat all over his head. His hair was stuck into wisps by sweat and his short-sleeved shirt was also stuck to his body by sweat. He looked like he had just come out of a sauna.

"Didn't you say you wouldn't come to the crew?!" Zeng Xiaoxian grabbed Lin Bufan by the collar, shaking with anger: "Do you know how much I spent on the taxi? A full one hundred and eight yuan!"

Lin Bufan raised his eyebrows: "It costs more than a hundred to get here from the radio station? Teacher Zeng, you didn't get ripped off, did you?"

"This is the most infuriating thing!" Zeng Xiaoxian gnashed his teeth in anger. "That driver actually took a detour! He actually took a detour for a host, and this host is a famous radio host. He didn't even take me seriously!

And the most infuriating thing is that after I pointed it out to him, he showed no remorse and actually abandoned me a full five hundred meters away from here! Zeng Xiaoxian pointed at a small black dot in the distance and said, "Do you know how I got here these five hundred meters?"

Looking at Zeng Xiaoxian's miserable appearance, Lin Bufan asked tentatively, "Teacher Zeng...you weren't crawling forward, were you?"

"Fuck you! I'm sweating from helping others move things!"

Although Zeng Xiaoxian explained, Lin Bufan preferred to believe that it was because Zeng Xiaoxian was too weak. After all, Zeng Xiaoxian was notorious for being weak!

Noticing Lin Bufan's contemptuous look, Zeng Xiaoxian was so angry that he jumped up and down: "Lin Bufan, what do you mean? Do you know that everything I've suffered is because of you? If you hadn't left me on the road, none of this would have happened!"

Seeing Zeng Xiaoxian about to go berserk, Lin Bufan grabbed Zeng Xiaoxian and pinned him against the car body, explaining sincerely, "Teacher Zeng, please listen to my explanation. Although you may not believe it after I finish, you still have to listen! Although this reason sounds absurd, you must believe me..."

Unable to break free, Zeng Xiaoxian shouted, "Then explain yourself! How do you know I don't believe you if you don't explain?"

"Actually, I came here purely by coincidence..."

"Okay, I believe you, I believe you!" As soon as Lin Bufan started to explain, Zeng Xiaoxian chose to believe it.

Zeng Xiaoxian's sudden change of expression left Lin Bufan stunned: "Ah? Teacher Zeng, you believed it so easily?"

"Nonsense! Do you know how hot this car body is? If you keep holding me down, I'll be like a teppanyaki!" Zeng Xiaoxian was almost in tears: "I already believe you, why don't you let go!"

Lin Bufan then realized that Zeng Xiaoxian seemed to be sizzling with oil, so he quickly loosened his hand!

Zeng Xiaoxian jumped up with a cry of "Ah" and slapped his scalded chest desperately!

Without paying any more attention to Zeng Xiaoxian who was imitating a gorilla patting his chest, Lin Bufan and Qu Xiaoxiao went straight into Studio No. 3 of the Magic City Film and Television Base!

"Quiet! The first episode of the first season of 'Idol Producer' is starting now!"

Following the director's command, Lin Bufan and Qu Xiaoxiao crouched down and slipped into Studio 3. The lights inside were glaring, with more than a dozen cameras trained on the stage. Four judges and dozens of staff members sat below, but there were no audience members.

"You're here just in time. The recording has just started." Qu Xiaoxiao pulled Lin Bufan to sit in the last row.

On the stage, the beautiful host held up a cue card and introduced in a clear voice, "First, please each trainee give a one-minute self-introduction. Use your unique style to make the audience remember you! Remember, this is related to your initial vote count!"

"First place, Wang Keai!"

As the music started, a boy wearing a black cartoon T-shirt and with a slicked-back hair and powdered face jumped onto the stage.

"Hello everyone~ I'm Wang Keai! One is like one, a little cutie. Two is like two, a little cutie. Three is like three, also a little cutie~"

Every time he calls out "little cutie", this Wang Keai will do some actions that he thinks are cute, such as holding his face with both hands, pouting, squinting, etc.!

To be honest, whether in his previous life or this one, Lin Bufan had never watched any of those so-called talent shows. His understanding of so-called idols came primarily through short videos. Among them, the one Lin Bufan was most familiar with was undoubtedly Brother Ji. There was no other way; Brother Ji was simply too famous, a truly top-tier idol who had broken through the social circle.

Of course, no matter how the circle was broken, just say whether it was broken or not?

Although he hadn't watched any of these talent shows, Lin Bufan had a good understanding of them from watching some short videos. He knew these shows were very abstract, but he hadn't expected them to be this abstract. In Lin Bufan's opinion, this Wang Keai was even cooler than a peach!

Lin Bufan nudged Qu Xiaoxiao with his shoulder, then pointed at the stage and said, "Qu Yaoguai, are you sure this is an Idol Producer audition? Why does it feel like a kindergarten team building?"

Qu Xiaoxiao was also speechless: "This is very different from what I imagined!"

After a pause, Qu Xiaoxiao added, "Maybe this is an exception. It will be fine later, right?"

Qu Xiaoxiao's words seemed to have no basis in confidence. Obviously, she was also very lacking in confidence!

The following trainees did not disappoint Qu Xiaoxiao. They successfully made Qu Xiaoxiao's lack of confidence not seem so unnecessary!

The second one is a spirited young man wearing a black inner wear with a black denim jacket and black trousers!

It can be seen that this person has a certain level of dance skills. The movements, the continuity, and the flexibility must have taken at least ten days or half a month to learn!

However, what Lin Bufan couldn't understand was that this was clearly an idol trainee audition site, but this contestant chose the song "Little Chicken Little Chicken" as the BGM, and then performed various exaggerated dance moves on the stage.

This guy doesn't think that all fans nowadays like this kind of thing, right?

Or maybe, nowadays, fans really like this kind of thing!!!

However, it must be said that, putting aside the premise of Idol Producer, this show is still very entertaining. At least Lin Bufan still likes watching it. If he didn't feel a little embarrassed, he would have wanted to go up and compete with the contestants in dancing skills!

Lin Bufan thought that these two were already the abstract pinnacle of this talent show, but unexpectedly, this was just the beginning!

The third contestant was equally confident in his dancing skills, but perhaps he wasn't entirely satisfied with the flooring on the stage. Therefore, his dance moves mostly focused on wiping the floor—wiping with his shirt, wiping with his body, and even rolling 360 degrees. By the time he left the stage, the entire floor was pristine!

However, there was something wrong with the look given by the cleaning lady in the corner.

what?

It’s obvious to you, right?

Believe it or not, next time I mop the floor, I’ll put you on the mop head?

The fourth contestant was normal at first, but after he started his talent show, everything went wrong!

"Next, I will use my unique charm to kill all the other agents." After saying that, he made a gesture of wiping his neck.

Just when Lin Bufan was expecting him to give a wonderful performance, this contestant directly performed a real-life zombie version of "Train to Busan"!

Seeing this, Lin Bufan really wanted to slap himself.

What on earth was I expecting?!

The fifth contestant introduced himself as soon as he came on stage: "Hello everyone, my name is Zhao Yuchen!"

Then his talent show began, which was to repeat over and over again: "Hello everyone, my name is Zhao Yuchen!"

"Hello everyone, my name is Zhao Yuchen!"

"Hello everyone, my name is Zhao Yuchen!"

Compared to the fifth contestant, the sixth contestant, who also kept repeating his self-introduction, was undoubtedly much smarter. Not only did he wear his name on a hairpin, he also brought a megaphone with him. Whenever he got tired of shouting, he would take a break and then play the previously recorded sound. This made the fifth contestant look quite dumb!

The seventh contestant even performed a trick by drinking a glass of milk in one breath!

Lin Bufan’s evaluation is that he is not as good as Niu Geng, who can drink a whole bottle of milk in one go!

The eighth contestant performed rap: "I was born in 1996, and my dream is to become a rap leader..."

The ninth contestant, also a rapper, said: "The director asked me to introduce myself today. Actually, there's not much to say. I've done everything in my life, but I've never tried laxatives..."

Sure enough, when people are speechless, they really laugh. Because that's what Lin Bufan was doing right now. He was already leaning on Qu Xiaoxiao's shoulder and laughing so hard that he couldn't straighten his back! This naturally attracted the attention of the staff on the scene. If they didn't know Lin Bufan and Qu Xiaoxiao, they would have been kicked out long ago!

The tenth contestant performed a magic trick. He reached his hand into his top hat and fiddled with it for a while, then took his hand out and made a crooked heart shape with his hand.

The eleventh contestant...

Number 12...

After watching for a while while trying hard to suppress his laughter, Lin Bufan gradually realized a truth, that is, watching Deyun Club is just for fun, and the real fun is watching Idol Producer.

May I ask?

Who in Deyun Club would squat on the ground pretending to be a dog and barking like a dog to make you happy?

Ugh--

Our idol trainee is good!

Yes, that's right!

You heard that right!

There was actually a trainee whose talent show was to pretend to be a dog and learn to bark!

In just a few hours, Lin Bufan's worldview was overturned again and again, because he originally thought that he was abstract enough, but now compared with those people on the field, there is a huge gap!

Qu Xiaoxiao couldn't bear to watch any longer, so she grabbed Lin Bufan's arm and tried to walk out: "Let's go! I'm going to go blind if you keep watching! What kind of monsters are these!"

Lin Bufan, who was watching the show with great interest, didn't want to leave, so he kept his legs rooted to his seat: "No! My chicken brother hasn't appeared yet!"

"What's with the chicken brother and duck brother?" Qu Xiaoxiao stomped her high heels in anger: "If I stay any longer, I'm afraid my IQ will be lowered! Look at what the hell this is!" As she spoke, Qu Xiaoxiao pointed at the contestant who was performing Little Tornado on the stage.

Seeing that Lin Bufan remained unmoved and didn't even have time to pay attention to her, Qu Xiaoxiao was so angry that she asked the staff to notify the director and arrange for Cai Xukun to go on stage as soon as possible!

After finishing the arrangements, Qu Xiaoxiao sat down with her arms folded, looking angrily: "Alright, I'll see how powerful the chicken brother you've been thinking about can be!"

With Qu Xiaoxiao's instructions, after the Little Tornado contestant went down, the director immediately arranged for Cai Xukun to come up!

However, when he saw the brother Ji he had been thinking about, Lin Bufan did not recognize him. It was not until Cai Xukun spoke that Lin Bufan reacted!

"Hello everyone, everyone! I'm Cai Xukun, a solo trainee who's been training for two and a half years. I enjoy singing, dancing, rapping, and playing basketball!"

Hearing this, Lin Bufan immediately sat up straight and looked carefully at the man in front of him!

This is—Brother Chicken?!

But where are your overalls?

Where's your basketball?

Without overalls and basketball, how can you say you are Brother Ji?

Just when Lin Bufan was about to question his identity, he heard Cai Xukun shout "Music!", then threw off his coat, revealing the overalls hidden underneath. Coupled with the basketball handed to him by the assistant next to him, Lin Bufan instantly felt that it was right!

It turns out that you are also a hidden little black man. I didn’t expect that you were hiding so deeply!

After revealing his true identity, Cai Xukun began to use the ball under his crotch to the dynamic music of "Ji Ni Tai Mei".

Lin Bufan admired Cai Xukun's performance with anticipation: "How was it? Was it interesting?"

Qu Xiaoxiao looked at the stage with disdain: "What the hell is this? Even the radio gymnastics are more rhythmic than this!"

"Isn't this the climax yet? Don't be impatient! When it reaches the climax later, it will definitely surprise you!" As he spoke, Lin Bufan took out his mobile phone to record the video with an expectant look on his face!

Cai Xukun became more and more devoted in his performance. He suddenly threw the basketball to the audience, then did a 180-degree spin on the spot, turned his back to the audience and began to perform the most classic "Iron Mountain Lean"!

Staring at the figures on the stage, Lin Bufan vaguely saw the figures of old friends: some playing yo-yo, some founding the Kun Sect, and some...
