1L (OP): [This is too much! Who can tell me if this episode of “Game Party” was a script arranged by the production team…
Sitting on someone’s lap is one thing, but then there was the tight hugging, plus the feeding play and holding hands…Not to mention that Quentin’s task was not to speak or move!
This is definitely targeting, right!!]
2L (OP): [Although I watched it quite happily, I have to say that JMZ, you are too arrogant when promoting male-male romance! You’re really not pretending anymore!
In the previous episodes, when Quentin was on stage, I still thought you guys were stupid, feeding the rice right to my mouth and I still wouldn’t eat it. But this episode just goes all out… you win…]
3L: [OP watches so fast, this episode just updated half an hour ago, I see not many people have posted on the forum yet.
Although I am a CP fan, I also think the production team went too far with this episode.]
[It’s just that not many fans of Quentin and the others have discovered this episode has them yet, so the forum is relatively calm, but in a few hours, it will probably be on fire again [facepalm]]
4L: [Don’t stir up arguments in advance, @ls. I’m a solo fan. If I’m going to curse anyone, it’ll be the production team for not doing their job right [pout]
Besides, I don’t really want to curse that much either, because Quentin silently enduring in the dark room to complete the mission was quite delicious… Slurp (wiping saliva)]
5L: [Delicious +1, I couldn’t handle it. Quentin is usually too calm, but this game actually made his expressions richer…
Although not to the extent of great joy or great sorrow, that kind of wanting to be angry but feeling it’s unnecessary, the patience and the helpless frustration of being pranked by weird missions but having to accept them…
— So delicious!!! It’s as if, as long as there’s a valid reason in front, no matter what you do to him, he will accept it all. He’s simply a holy father who tolerates everything [heart][heart]]
6L: [No no no, how could Quentin be a holy father, @ls is way off!
I think Quentin just doesn’t think there’s any problem with these missions. I guess he’s not enduring for the mission, he’s purely feeling both annoyed and speechless because he found out that the people stealing his chair and ruining his missions were all acquaintances]
7L: [I agree with the person above. Didn’t you see Quentin actively reaching out to take the food from Fang Xu’s hand? Does that look like someone who has an objection to the mission?
And when it comes to sitting on Xue Mingzhu’s lap, he was the one who actively went for it first. According to his train of thought, things like sitting on laps, feeding, holding hands, and hugging are nothing [facepalm]
Not just him, Xue Mingzhu, Yan Qiao, and Fang Xu also accepted it very naturally]
8L: [Thinking about it from a different angle, a QT who doesn’t care about intimate contact and accepts everything magnanimously is also delicious…
Imagine, even sharing a bed and eating and living together, with a group of people fighting for his affection, with his personality, he’d probably still think those are just normal interactions between good friends [grin]]
9L: [Stop talking, I already have a picture in my head, I feel like these are all scenes that will happen in the future ahhh]
10L: [And, objectively speaking, these missions actually aren’t excessive, right?
You think the production team is excessive, but actually it’s because the missions are targeting Quentin. If you only look at it from the perspective of a haunted house prank, these missions are already very friendly. The previous episodes were much scarier than this!]
11L: [@ls, are you really stupid or pretending to be stupid? Everyone else is on the highway, and you’re still on Maka Baka (means acting childish)]
12L: [Let’s just say, the production team’s excessiveness has nothing to do with mission difficulty. The problem is they clearly want to use Quentin to promote CP for attention!
Originally those CP pairs were all clinging to Quentin to suck his blood, now the team production is jumping in too, so shameless…]
13L: [Ah, I didn’t expect the CP hype to be this intense, and all of it revolves around one person.
If Quentin’s actual ability was a bit weaker, and the popularity of his public performance stages was a bit lower, the speed at which his CPs gained followers would definitely not have been able to keep up with the backlash from excessive CP marketing.]
14L: [Exactly, fortunately, given his ability and stage presence, when passersby see so many CPs about him, their first reaction isn’t that he’s not doing his job, selling this and that all day, but rather they feel that forming a CP with Quentin is truly a blessing]
15L: [Let’s not be so conspiratorial… To be fair, the missions in this episode really aren’t difficult, and the mission design isn’t a big problem, it’s all within normal range.
Maybe the production team had some little schemes, but if another person did these missions, it wouldn’t have the same “effect.”
Just watch the previous episodes of “Game Party.” Do you think the missions in the previous episodes were simply aimed at being funny? No way. Don’t just talk about this episode hyping CP, the previous episodes also hyped, and even more ruthlessly!]
16L: [In the last episode, Wen Xinyi, Qi Yang, and Qiao Xue hugged into a ball, with Wen Xinyi and Qiao Xue even clinging onto Qi Yang!
The mission arranged for them to hide in a wardrobe to avoid ghosts, and names were even pasted on the wardrobe. The production team didn’t even bother pretending, just arranging Wen Xinyi and Qi Yang in one wardrobe. Can’t you see their intentions?
As a result, although they hid, the CP still didn’t take off. It’s not even as popular as the pulled CP between Quentin and Qi Yang who had zero contact with each other, let alone compared to the 303 roommate group. Whether a CP can become popular or not is really a mystery. [sigh]]
17L: [Ahem, honestly, in this episode, if it’s 3A, even if the three of them did nothing but be locked in a small dark room, it would still be enough for us to ship them. [eating melon]]
18L: [Just those few keywords: small, dark room, multiple people…if put on other people, it’s the funny style of the previous episodes; put it on 3A… Scandalous, too scandalous!
There are some things that are a bit too much! We’re all honored VIPs, what’s there not to see!]
19L: [To be honest, upstairs, sitting on someone’s lap really isn’t a big deal. Painting nails and feeding food are also common games on variety shows. Doing missions in the dark…from just these few things, I really don’t think there’s anything good to ship.
Sisters, you’re still too young. Where are the real shipping points?]
20L (OP): [Alright, let me, the sugar-shipping master analyze it for you [stroking chin] [smile]
First, look at Xue-Que, the easiest to ship.
The reason is that Xiao Xue is unusually proactive, and Xiao Quentin, well, has no sense of social distance and has an exceptionally high tolerance for physical touch.
So their hugs and cuddles are very natural, but at the same time, there’s no sense of ambiguity. It’s more like two young boys who haven’t awakened yet, at the age of eighteen, ignorant and naive, the purest kind of love~ [holding face]
In this episode, their biggest sugar point, I think, lies in Xiao Xue’s post-interview. The production team asked him when he discovered the person sitting on him was Quentin, and how he found out. His answer is full of sugar points, ahhh]
21L: [OP is a kindred spirit, I also think that post-interview was the best. Isn’t this identifying someone by their scent?! Does this really exist in real life?!
Just four simple words directly kicked me into the Xue-Que pit. What do these four words explain?
One: Quentin smells nice, hehe ;-). Two: Xue Mingzhu is very familiar with Quentin’s scent. Three: Xue Mingzhu has a dog’s nose. The entertainment industry gains another ultimate dog-personification for shipping, yay]
22L (OP): [That’s not all, Xiao Xue’s reaction after discovering the person on him was also very interesting.
Before, he was stiffly maintaining distance, but after finding out, he directly reached out and buried his whole head in Quentin’s neck. Xiao Xue, do you love being close to Quentin that much? ^^]
23L: [Xue-Que is really sweet. Even those who don’t ship them have to admit the relationship between these two is really good]
24L: [Xue Mingzhu’s best relationship in “NS” is definitely with Quentin, but not necessarily for Quentin]
25L: [Don’t pour cold water, ah. Quentin isn’t good at expressing himself. How do you know it’s not true on his side? Do you sleep under his bed? [pout]]
26L: [Don’t just talk about Xue-Que, OP. Yan-Que in this episode also has a unique flavor ( ?? ω ?? )y]
27L (OP): [OP Is an omnivore that eats from a hundred families, hehe. I want Xue-Que, Yan-Que, Fang-Que too… [extending chopsticks.jpg]
If Xue-Que’s sugar point is in the hugs and post-interview, then Yan-Que’s sugar point is in the contrast and double standards!
Look at Yan Qiao’s ease before discovering his mission target was Quentin, and then look at his disbelief and cautiousness after discovering it. Yan Qiao’s contrast with his usual outward image is way too big!]
28L: [Mmm, the feeling this CP gives me is a bit like… an innocent and simple rich beauty and a philandering, flirtatious bad boy?
The bad boy, for some reason, tries hard to flirt, but unfortunately, the rich beauty doesn’t understand love. Finally, the scheming bad boy falls in love instead, a trace of sincerity mixed in the fake. What a masterpiece! [intoxicated]]
29L: [!!! I actually got it!! What kind of shipping expert is the person above!]
30L: [This double standard is truly double standards. Don’t forget he still insists on speaking Mandarin in front of Quentin. I’ve never seen him be so considerate to others]
31L: [Help… Brother Qiao only looks bad, his heart is really good. Everyone, ship rationally, don’t take the CP personas as real…]
32L: [I agree with @ls. Our Quentin isn’t innocent and simple, rich beauty either. The child scored first in the school in the college entrance exam. His brain is very sharp]
33L (OP): [Indeed, we only ship sugar, don’t project onto the real people.
Back on the topic, continue talking about Fang-Que. Not as many people ship this pair as 3A. The most popular scene so far is still the 303 massage, but in this episode, these two are also very good to taste [blush]
Feeding play, ah. It directly made our Xiao Que’s lip break and bleed. So naughty!]
34L (OP): [After Yan Qiao learned that the person he was holding hands with and painting nails was Quentin, his first reaction was shock and depression. How come when it comes to Fang Xu, it’s fluster and shyness? (pointing and criticizing)
Xiao Fang, oh Xiao Fang, don’t think I can’t see your embarrassment just because you wear a melancholic face.
If it weren’t for shyness, why wouldn’t you dare to look at Quentin even when feeding him a bite of food? And you even injured Quentin’s mouth. Too incompetent! Learn from Xiao Xue! This is what a 1 role model should be!]
35L: [I didn’t expect Xiao Fang to panic like this. As Quentin’s roommate, shouldn’t he have seen everything he should and shouldn’t see? He hasn’t taken any advantage of being the first to get the moon? [shakes head] [sigh]]
36L: [Actually, their reaction after the game ended, when they found out Quentin got the lowest score, was also quite interesting. Is this what is called the group pet?]
37L: [If arrows had physical form, Quentin would have to lie in the hospital for a lifetime…]
…
1890L: [I’ve been shipping CPs for over a thousand floors. Is it really that good to ship?]
1891L: [Everyone clicking in now is probably because of the trending search. It’s really a CP physique. Every time there’s a CP, it definitely goes to the top of the trending topics.]
1892L: [My Quentin not only has CPs, he also goes to the top of that trending topics every time he has a public performance, yo]
1893L: [Compared to “Game Party,” the short video just released by the official account is even more interesting. It’s only been a few tens of minutes since it was released, and it’s already hanging onto the tail end of the trending searches. It’s probably only a matter of time before it surpasses the CP trending topic.]
1894L: [What short video?]
1895L: [Official account? “NS” official account? What new trouble are they making?]
1896L: […Does the official account have such a low sense of existence? Anyone who hasn’t seen it, go watch it quickly. If you don’t watch it, you’ll miss out on a million!]
1897L: [Heh, little fools. You didn’t expect it, did you? Quentin danced “Lust”! And Yan Qiao, he also danced “Lust”!!]
1898L: [Holy crap… Are you talking about that song that was very popular a few days ago, the flirtatious, edge-play essential BGM?!]
…
The popularity of the latest episode of “NS-Game Party” hadn’t even passed yet, and the production team had already started promoting tomorrow’s upcoming episode.
At this moment, the comment section below the latest video posted on the official account had already collapsed. Unfortunately, the traffic of the official account was poor….the operations team released nearly 40 short videos within an hour, which almost got pushed down by the forum’s promotion algorithm.
Fortunately, the quality of some trainees’ videos was excellent. Their likes increased exponentially, standing out from all the videos and surging onto the homepage’s trending topics in one go.
However, the trainees’ experience in making videos wasn’t as rich as influencers. Whether it was the video angles or camera movements, they couldn’t compare to the engaging works of influencers.
Moreover, most trainees couldn’t move as well as them, which resulted in a huge disparity in the likes for these 40 videos.
Those with good data, like Quentin, Yan Qiao, and Cheng Shao, all had over a million likes. Quentin’s video had even surpassed 2 million, approaching 3 million.
Those with poor data were still hovering at a few hundred likes. They were truly successfully limited by the official’s broken account.
Unlike influencers who paid special attention to their clothing and appearance, the trainees generally wore training clothes that only differed in color. They didn’t wear much makeup on their faces, nor did they wear any other jewelry. They were as plain as could be.
At the same time, because they were young and had been doing closed training with a group of peers on a regular schedule for so long, they carried a student-like air. Even when paired with sensual background music, it was hard for them to twist out the desired feeling. Instead, it exuded a kind of ‘whatever, let’s just go for it’ kind of beauty.
To break through the limitations of filming and styling, having enough dance skills wasn’t enough. They also needed a natural and relaxed demeanor in front of the camera.
And among the remaining 40 trainees, there really weren’t many who simultaneously met these two conditions.
Excluding those who are not good looking enough, after counting again and again, only three people remained: Quentin, Yan Qiao, and Cheng Shao. That is, the three with the best video data.
So, the public’s eyes are sharp. If the video quality is good, it deserves to be popular.
The comment sections under these three videos were already overflowing with drool, and most of the top comments were from casual netizens. On the contrary, the fans’ promotions were suppressed below.
The three male Bodhisattvas really know how to dance, and they are really willing to show their abs…
— [Can’t date them, can’t afford them even if I tip, wuuu I don’t want to live anymore [ crying] [crying]]
— [To be honest, it’s not really edge-play at all. There are no greasy camera movements, no dark lighting, no baffling hip thrusts, but it’s just very alluring. Even if they covered their faces, you would guess that they are top-tier handsome guys. I love it, I love it]
— [I used to always find the hip thrusting action annoying. Now I realize it was because the person doing it was wrong…]
— [Wait, are idols nowadays so generous with showing their abs? You guys eat this well??]
— [People who can dance give a different feeling when doing internet celebrity dances. Even if the moves are very simple, they dance them neatly and with flair.]
— [Has anyone put Quentin, Yan Qiao, and Cheng Shao together in the same frame? These three danced the same routine into three different flavors. So awesome]
After that, fans who heard the news from the hot forum posts spent over ten minutes just liking the comments and replying. None of them could find the exit button for the videos. With that many repeated plays, it would be strange if it didn’t go viral.
But at this moment, everyone’s attention was still on the protagonists of these videos.
As for the video BGM, it has been popular since last month. Too many influencers used this song to make videos, so everyone was used to it.
No one had expected the popularity of these short videos to collide with “Sing If You Want to Sing-Young Blood Season,” which aired at 8 PM that evening, accidentally sparking an even more intense reaction.
