Chu Fan’s first Weibo post attracted a lot of attention from fans and netizens. Soon, someone deciphered the location of his photo, even guessing that he might be vacationing at a nearby guesthouse.
Meanwhile, Qin Li and Ai Meng’s CP fans discovered a new development.
“Ahhh, Qin Li is filming there these days! Why is Chu Fan there too??”
“Hmm… I think I know the truth now. Lou Shutong, as the director, should be over there at this time.”
“This news came so suddenly! Kudos to this generation of netizens! They caught the ‘Orange CP’s’ chemistry with just one photo!”
“So, are the Orange CP really together? Hehe, waiting for the main characters to give us some sweet moments!”
“Ugh, Chu Fan is such a simp? He even followed her to film a movie? What a damn Orange CP! Lou Shutong doesn’t deserve him at all!”
“Those who say Lou Shutong isn’t good enough should first assess their own capabilities. Do you have her face, her legs, or her talent? ‘Rebirth’ is definitely the best short drama right now, much better than those long and tedious sweet romance dramas!”
“Orange CP fans are so excited! @ChuFan was the first to post on Weibo; it must have special significance, and that significance is Shutong!!”
…
Shortly after Chu Fan posted the Weibo, Chuchu rushed over to like it and updated her status on Weibo: “Ahhhhhh!”
Fans immediately realized, “Yes, our idol is shipping the CP!”
Regardless, Shutong was currently very popular, and several investors had already approached her, wanting to collaborate with her and help her build her IP and brand.
However, she was well aware of the potential pitfalls set by investors. She had to focus on filming on her own and didn’t have the energy to handle so many other things. Therefore, she currently trusts the original startup team more.
In the early days of the company, Shutong poured all her money into it. Fortunately, she received the money from the show and sold the copyrights to several videos. Otherwise, she would still be just an employee now.
Qin Li and Ai Meng were both clear-headed people, and after suffering a loss last time, this time, they were not just acting as actors, but were also directly investing in the business.
Shutong had her own office now, and the company had hired a post-production expert, which had given her a sense of relief. However, the work pressure had not decreased.
The high production quality of ‘Rebirth’ brought a surge in viewership for short dramas and quickly established its reputation. Now, audiences were much more accepting of short dramas, but their expectations for them would only continue to rise.
The director of ‘Heartbeat’ even privately discussed coordinating post-production promotion with Shutong.
This was definitely a good thing for Shutong and her team.
After the fourth episode of ‘Heartbeat’ was released, various mixed-couple fan groups had already grown considerably.
Strangely enough, the two major camps, Sha-Wen CP and Orange CP, almost overlap.
The fourth episode featured the first official date of the amateur guests. Chu Fan’s rotten oranges left a deep impression. On the night the blind box event ended, Zhou Ye, Zhang Ye, and Luo Wenfeng all approached Chu Fan for heart-to-heart talks, creating a hilarious scene.
However, no one expected the girls to instinctively leave the rotten orange for Shutong, especially Pei Rao, who clearly had already identified the owner of the rotten oranges. The look in her eyes when she politely gave it away was just too gossipy!
Shutong and Chu Fan’s date started uneventfully. The handsome man and beautiful woman, though not interacting much, provided fans with plenty of sweet moments.
From the racetrack to the restaurant, Chu Fan displayed the essential personal qualities of a modern male lead in a romance novel, leaving the audience completely bewildered.
In today’s entertainment industry, creating on-screen CP has become a lucrative business model. Anyone can profit from it. Investors guide the on-screen CP topics, while CP fans gain participation through their imaginations and fan-made videos.
The popularity of the ‘Orange CP’ was naturally partly due to the deliberate manipulation by the program team’s post-production and official accounts.
Shutong watched this episode with Chu Fan in her apartment, and she was completely stunned the whole time.
“When we were filming the show, wasn’t everyone focused on the race? Why is it that the camera is only on you and me? Why aren’t you cheering for your friend?”
Shutong complained about the post-production team’s overly romantic atmosphere.
Chu Fan: “I’m tired of seeing it.”
Shutong looked at him, all her words stuck in her throat.
Yes, this is a show about young men and women getting along and developing feelings for each other. Who wants to watch a high-octane racing event?
However, the show did retain the scenes of Chu Fan being provoked twice.
Seeing the effusive praise for Chu Fan from the viewers in the live comment, Shutong maintained her smile and asked, “Is that wine still there?”
Chu Fan glanced at her: “Want some now?”
Chu Fan chuckled softly, “What’s mine is yours too.”
Generally speaking, girls have almost no resistance to such sweet words.
Shutong laughed too, “It would be strange if your mother didn’t beat you to death.”
Chu Fan: “…”
All the pink bubbles instantly shattered.
