Your Rival in Love Gets Prettier Every Day

Chapter 42: Look, it's Shen Jintai!

Li Meilan had to admire Monsoon Entertainment. They really know how to leverage their hype methods. CP fans were the best way to become popular. Now that Shen Jintai's and Zheng Siqi's CP have risen up, it's time to push the ship along the water and promote it with marketing. It'll be mutually beneficial for both parties.

Li Meilan asked Shen Jintai for his opinion. He responded with: "I will cooperate."

"Some people may say that you're frying* CP." Li Meilan warned.

*Fry = promoting.

Shen Jintai sneered: "I have also seen these comments, so I don't need to pay attention to these people. They only believe in the white lotuses that can get popular without marketing, hype, or sponsors. Compared to relying on a gold master, I at least rely on myself and did not rub against the heat of others. During the broadcast, my interactions with other actors could not be more normal. I never pretended to be in love with anyone. Besides, I just want to be popular.*"

*Clarity: he's saying people (haters) will accuse him of "frying (promoting)" CP as a way to get popular. It's one thing to have fans/randos attach a CP, it's another if you actively participate in it, which can be seen as you just hyping yourself and purposefully misleading the public. Shen Jintai is countering this by saying, yes he's going to promote himself and yes it may be a little bit ambiguous but he's never going to cross the line of lying to the public by saying he's in love with someone. His goal is to be popular and that requires marketing and promotion.

Li Meilan was glad. She felt that since Shen Jintai's comeback, everything had gone smoothly. Even Shen Jintai's degree of cooperation was much higher than before. In the past, Shen Jintai was very willful and would never have considered it, which made it difficult for her as an agent.

Le Meilan: "Then I'll discuss with his agent and see what to record."

Sister Wen's meaning was to shoot a small video for TikTok.

Nowadays, TikTok's user activity has surpassed Weibo and they have more active users. She had noticed that many celebrities had captured this field. If utilized well, the effect will definitely be better than other forms of media.

While the two of them were filming, Li Meilan and Sister Wen finalized the specific content of the small video together. Both of them unanimously decided that it should be natural and cheerful. They held their phones and watched TikTok for several days and chose the most cheerful song they could find.

When both actors were free, they called them over to discuss.

"Is it filmed here?" Shen Jintai asked.

"It's the best to shoot on the set. It makes it feel like it's a casual shot. If we take it outside of the set, it'll look too deliberate." Li Meilan said.

Shen Jintai found that the content of the shooting was also very casual. He thought it would be something like he would look back and smile or look at the camera in slow motion while walking, being su and handsome!

The result was Sister Wen and Li Meilan only asked them to sit on the chairs in the dressing room, turn their heads to the music, and sing along with the song.

"Laugh, laugh." Sister Wen said: "You have to look cheerful. We'll post this video when the sadistic plot is broadcasted."

Shen Jintai was very laidback in private so he could act naturally. After shooting a few clips, he became even more energetic as he shook his head in a funny manner. Zheng Siqi's personality had always been relatively reserved compared to an idol. Due to these differences combined, it created a very good chemistry between the two of them. After the filming was done, everyone was satisfied with the outcome.
