Chapter 74: Exclusive to Jinjiang 1/2

The entire shoot took a whole day, and both of them took it seriously. After all, it was their wedding photo.

When they brought the original photos home, Shi Zhang planned to personally edit them. If there were things he couldn’t handle, he would ask Luoliuli for help with the finishing touches.

“You can edit photos too?” Song Fuzhi was a bit surprised.

Shi Zhang responded with a simple “Hmm,” saying, “I haven’t edited photos in a long time, but when I used to do cosplays, I handled everything myself. So, I know a bit about makeup, photography, and photo editing.”

Although the post-production team Shi Zhang collaborated with for cosplays was top-notch, wedding photos were exceptionally important. Moreover, these few shots could only be appreciated in private, so Shi Zhang wanted to handle it himself.

One day, FuFu received a call from the video platform.

Wen Qian had done something wrong, and many previously agreed-upon collaborations were canceled with him. Because of Shi Zhang’s appearance, many people saw this incident, and someone exposed that Wen Qian and his company had used similar methods before, not just once.

The victims at that time were unknown coworkers, and the news was suppressed by the company. Those who needed to pursue legal procedures did so, and the platform did not cover it up. Wen Qian’s fan count plummeted visibly, and netizens said it was “karma.”

FuFu declined several rewards, so they moved on to the next winner.

The second-place winner was a talented and hardworking male coser named Boyue. He had various talents, such as dancing and playing musical instruments, and he was also highly popular.

If it weren’t for FuFu’s prolific updates during the competition phase, he might have taken first place. Even so, the rewards were not bad for him.

Shi Zhang had previously informed Zhong Ziyan, saying he would participate in the program. So, Zhong arranged for the team to contact him directly.

Shi Zhang was still in a state of quitting the online world, and after saying a few words, he disappeared. Now, he suddenly had to appear on a coser live broadcast program; it was practically indicating a comeback. If this news were revealed, it would cause a huge stir.

Only one or two high-level members of the team knew about Shi Zhang and FuFu’s legitimate husband relationship, so they directly contacted these two to ask for their opinions.

Team: May I ask, does FuFu want to participate as a regular guest with other cosers, or would he like to attend as a special guest alongside Shi Zhang? Being a special guest means being invited.

This message was read by both of them. Shi Zhang almost immediately looked at Song Fuzhi, smiling, and asked, “How about being special guests together?”

There was no choice—FuFu was the husband of the big boss in the industry, and the treatment was different.

Someone immediately stepped forward to settle the matter when trouble arose. Being a special guest on the first appearance is equivalent to the rank of a big shot.

Song Fuzhi, however, hesitated and pondered, looking at the screen and then back at Shi Zhang.

It was evident that he was undecided.

Song Fuzhi typed and asked the other side, “What’s the difference between these two guests?”

Team: Regular guests will have more interactions among themselves and may have to do some tasks, small games, or other activities related to cosplay and the second dimension. Special guests, on the other hand, are all very powerful figures in the industry, somewhat similar to judges, but they will also participate in the activities.

Team: We will send the specific program arrangements to both of you later, but it’s necessary for FuFu to make a choice first so that we can arrange the specific segments accordingly.

Pointing at the words on the screen, Song Fuzhi whispered, “Shi Zhang, look, being a special guest means being a judge. But I’m just starting in the cosplay field; how can I be a judge?”

This statement was accurate. FuFu, in the end, was just a brand-new newcomer, with very little experience in cosplay compared to others and unable to be compared to those who had been in the industry for ten or twenty years.

“Putting a newcomer like me in the special guest seat, can I handle the pressure? Will others accept it?” Even if others accept it, Song Fuzhi himself wasn’t confident.

While the logic was there, Shi Zhang didn’t see it as a problem. He said, “But you’re different. You can attend as my partner. Let’s talk to the production team, and you probably won’t have to be a judge.”

Song Fuzhi smiled. “Then what would I be doing there? Just as the husband of Zhong Ziyan? Should we announce our relationship in the early publicity?”

Shi Zhang instinctively wanted to say, “Why not?” because he hadn’t considered other possibilities.

But he quickly realized that Song Fuzhi might not want that.

“What do you think?” Shi Zhang asked.

Song Fuzhi pursed his lips, looking at Shi Zhang’s expression, as if considering how to phrase his thoughts.

In reality, Shi Zhang’s inclination to control things was understandable. Song Fuzhi speculated that it stemmed from his childhood environment, so there was a sense of tenderness towards him. Shi Zhang was generally good to him, and Song Fuzhi could tolerate the little quirks hidden in his heart.

Shi Zhang loved his spouse and had a strong possessiveness, naturally wanting to showcase him to everyone and leave his mark on him in public.

Song Fuzhi could understand this, but he had some other thoughts.

“I haven’t participated in such events individually. Previously, I cosplayed a lot, replicating your characters, and when there were copycats, you stepped in to resolve it.” Song Fuzhi began slowly.

Shi Zhang made a noise of agreement, his fingers tracing Song Fuzhi’s arm as if encouraging him to continue.

Song Fuzhi sat up straight, looking at Shi Zhang, and continued, “While creating those works, my initial intention was indeed to give gifts to Zhong Ziyan. But over time, I discovered that cosplay is truly fascinating, and the audience is lovely. I also want to continue this hobby.”

“And the other top three cosers from the competition are all regular guests. I just want to be like them.”

“I want to become Coser FuFu first, not ‘Zhong Ziyan’s CP.’ What do you think?” Song Fuzhi spoke in a consultative tone, leaving Shi Zhang momentarily stunned.

Shi Zhang’s heart softened, and he felt a bit guilty. How had he pushed his beloved to this point? Clearly, it was a normal request.

Shi Zhang quickly understood. His instinct led him to want to keep Song Fuzhi by his side, sitting next to him in every program and cooperating every time.

However, Shi Zhang knew rationally that he should let FuFu explore his own territory.

When Song Fuzhi asked this way, it was because he was also considering Shi Zhang’s feelings.

Actually, Shi Zhang hoped that everyone could see that even if FuFu didn’t replicate Zhong Ziyan’s character, he could still excel.

“I understand.” Shi Zhang’s voice was a bit heavy, and emotions and reason struggled within him.

“Mr. Song, being the first in this competition, the type of guest you want to be is your own free choice.”

Song Fuzhi smiled. He knew Shi Zhang would agree, but he also knew that there must have been some internal struggle.
