He transmigrated into the body of an idol who debuted at 15 but was now past his prime, and who was also a senior high school student.
His unscrupulous agent forced him to leave the entertain...
Chapter 160 Lu Yanhe and his father-in-law
Lu Yanhe said, "This program sounds like it would be popular with many people, if it can attract a large audience."
Once viewers get hooked on this type of show, they'll keep watching, and the longer they watch, the more attached they become, and the less they want it to end.
Li Zhenzhen turned to Li Zhibai and asked, "So, have you considered changing your mind and joining our program?"
Li Zhibai said confidently, "If you can get Yan Liang and Lu Yanhe to join, I will join."
After he finished speaking, there was a sudden awkward silence at the table.
At this moment, neither Lu Yanhe nor Yan Liang knew what to say.
The main issue was Li Zhibai's suggestion, which he hadn't mentioned to them before.
At the same time, Lu Yanhe also felt inexplicably embarrassed.
Li Zhibai acted as if he were negotiating terms, demanding a buy-one-get-two-free offer. Lu Yanhe, as the beneficiary, felt uneasy, thinking that Li Zhibai's request was a bit excessive.
Li Zhenzhen was also stunned for a long time.
The fried chicken shop was bustling, with all sorts of sounds rising and falling around it.
The noisy environment made their space seem exceptionally quiet and silent.
“Well… it’s not impossible.” Li Zhenzhen’s words surprised Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang.
Is it true or false?
Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang both looked at Li Zhenzhen with some confusion.
Don't just give them a perfunctory response.
After careful consideration, Li Zhenzhen said, "The three of you have lived together for three years and know each other very well. The familiarity between you is something that strangers can't compare to. But I'm also worried about one thing: if all three of you participate in this program, will the three of you stick together? That wouldn't be good for your relationships with your other roommates."
Li Zhibai muttered, "I didn't want to meet any strangers in the first place, which is why I dragged Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang along."
“If you’re still just the three of you, then the show itself loses its meaning,” Li Zhenzhen said. “What I’m going to film is not the friendship between the three of you, but the process of a group of young people going from strangers to friends in a house.”
Li Zhenzhen thought for a moment and said, "I'll go back and think about this carefully and see how to handle it. Li Zhibai, are you serious? As long as I get Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang to come and record this program, you'll come?"
Li Zhibai nodded and said, "Okay."
"So, would you two be willing to come and record this show?" Li Zhenzhen asked Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang.
Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang exchanged a glance and nodded simultaneously.
“But I still need to ask my agent for his opinion,” Lu Yanhe said.
Yan Liang: "Me too."
They're all newcomers, and they need their agents' approval to take on any job.
-
After dinner, Li Zhenzhen immediately went to tell Chen Biqiu about it.
Chen Biqiu strongly objected, saying, "No way, how can you make such a request? He wants to bring two regulars to the show by himself, what if others follow suit? You can't agree to such a condition just to get Li Zhibai to come. No production team would agree to such an unreasonable request."
Li Zhenzhen said, "Brother Qiu, I didn't agree to this request just to invite Li Zhibai. Actually, after following along all day, my own thoughts have changed. Even if Li Zhibai hadn't mentioned it, I would have wanted to invite Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang as well. The three of them have completely different personalities, but they have lived together for three years and become good friends. This kind of relationship is very worthy of being featured on the show."
“Zhenzhen, you can’t be so naive. Think about it, the three of them are together all the time, they’re already very familiar with each other. Do you think they can create any sparks by recording a show with these three?” Chen Biqiu still didn’t think highly of the trio. “Conflict, contradiction, and goodwill are what make a show dramatic, not that they’re perfect from the start.”
“We also have other regular cast members on our show, not just the three of them. There are people responsible for the part where strangers become friends. Why not let these three fill the gaps in our previous design? They can provide different models in the show, which will create more contrast.” Li Zhenzhen genuinely approves of this trio and wants to bring them into her show. “One group of friends, one group of strangers, different ways of getting along between different people. How will they react to the same situation? This difference is also what makes this show unique.”
When Chen Biqiu heard Li Zhenzhen arguing with him so earnestly, he knew that this girl was a little obsessed.
The more you argue with her about this, the more firmly she defends her point of view.
“Alright, if you’re convinced that doing this is the right thing to do, then think it over carefully. But don’t make a decision hastily. If you have this idea, let it cool down first. Don’t make a decision impulsively in a moment of passion,” Chen Biqiu said.
“Okay, I’m also planning to stay with them for a few more days and observe them carefully,” Li Zhenzhen said. “Brother Qiu, these three people are much more interesting than they are in the public eye right now. They are very suitable to be guests on this kind of life observation program. Their personalities are quite representative. I had a lot of inspiration today while I was with them.”
Chen Biqiu sighed inwardly.
Li Zhenzhen is a girl who is efficient and hardworking, and her talents in all aspects are admirable. There is only one thing: she is a bit idealistic and romantic. Compared to things that are based on practical considerations, she cares more about some authorial expression. However, her expression... how should I put it? It's not the kind of pretentious sentimentality of a literary youth.
Chen Biqiu genuinely valued Li Zhenzhen's talent. She possessed an unparalleled intuition for the nuances of program production and the chemistry that could be sparked between guests. Previously, when Li Zhenzhen worked with him on programs, she frequently offered suggestions for revising his scripts, and the results of each broadcast proved that her insight perfectly resonated with the audience.
For example, when a male and female guest had previously dated, everyone suggested pairing them up for a game to make it more interesting. Indeed, viewers would certainly enjoy such a scenario. However, Li Zhenzhen went against the grain, strongly advocating for placing the two in separate groups, but ensuring they faced each other in every competition segment.
Li Zhenzhen said at the time: "Rather than watching a couple of exes being arranged to be teammates on a variety show, either in a melodramatic and ambiguous way under the script, looking for the possibility of rekindling their old flame, or not communicating at all to avoid suspicion, making the whole show fall apart, it's better to watch a couple of exes become opponents in a competitive game. If they fight fiercely, it means they can't forget their old grudges; if they slack off, it means they can't forget their old feelings. There's room for interpretation from any angle."
His words convinced everyone in the conference room.
Finally, Li Zhenzhen also asked all the other guests to be interviewed and talk about their feelings about today's game segment. Then, she would edit out the part about the ex-couple separately and play it for the ex-couple in front of everyone.
They wouldn't let the two of them speak, because they knew they wouldn't get anything out of them anyway.
Instead, the camera captures their reactions as they listen to others' feelings, leaving room for interpretation through subtle movements of their eyebrows and mouths.
It's unethical, but the effect is maximum.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Biqiu was also thinking that if Li Zhenzhen really thought these three people were suitable to appear together on the show as regulars, it wouldn't be impossible.
He didn't know much about Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang, but that also meant that their pay was probably not high.
The show's budget wasn't high, so there wasn't enough money to hire more popular stars. Lu Yanhe is about to star in "The Golden Era," and with Chen Ziyan's help, he'll likely become famous; they might just hit the jackpot.
-
For Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang, this was thanks to Li Zhibai; they suddenly got a TV program.
Yan Liang was still a little uneasy and said, "Next time, you don't need to make such a request to others for our sake. You can just record it yourself. It would be bad if you angered someone and it affected you."
As soon as Li Zhibai got back, he lay down on the sofa, yawned lazily, and said, "If I'm angry, I won't record anymore. I already said that I'm not interested in this kind of show. You all know that. I don't like pretending to be close to a bunch of strangers."
Li Zhibai is a very genuine person. He doesn't like to pretend even when he's on TV shows, and that's for sure.
"In short, thank you for your help, Brother Li." Lu Yanhe said, "I've already benefited from your support since I just graduated. It would be great if the three of us could become regulars on this show. I was worried that as we get busier with our own work, we'll see each other less and less and gradually drift apart."
“That’s definitely not with us,” Li Zhibai said immediately. “If we’re going to drift apart, it’s because you went to college and don’t hang out with us as much anymore.”
"Come on, I'm not going to hang out with you guys after I go to college, that's ridiculous." Lu Yanhe said, "Why don't you mention that Yan Liang is going to Beijing Arts University and will be living on campus most of the time?"
Li Zhibai suddenly sat up. "Damn, right? You two are going to live at school in September, so I'll be living alone?"
"Why don't you live on campus?" Lu Yanhe asked.
Li Zhibai is also a university student, but not at Beijing Art University; he attends another performing arts school.
Li Zhibai scratched his nose and said, "Living in a dormitory is no fun. The dorms are small and there are four people living there. Of course, it's more comfortable to come back home."
"The main reason is that he has a car, so he can drive to school when he needs to go to class, which is very convenient," Yan Liang said. "If it were us, we wouldn't have a car, which would be very inconvenient. Of course, it would be easier to live on campus."
After thinking for a moment, Li Zhibai said, "If all three of us end up going to the same university town, we could consider renting a place together and continuing to live together?"
“Great!” Yan Liang’s eyes lit up. “That would be best.”
Lu Yanhe nodded: "Anyway, I'm definitely going to move out. If we can rent together, we can split the rent."
Li Zhibai scoffed and said, "Then you really look down on me. You live with me, why would you need to pay rent?"
Rich guy Li is back online.
"Hey, Lao Lu, I heard you caused quite a stir at the company today." Yan Liang suddenly looked at Lu Yanhe.
"A storm? What happened to him?" Li Zhi asked, "Is he at odds with Zhou Ping'an again?"
"No, Zhou Ping'an wasn't involved today. It was General Manager Lin from Aurora Video who brought his daughter over. It turns out that our Comrade Lu is an old acquaintance of General Manager Lin's daughter." Yan Liang said with some surprise, "Moreover, when General Manager Lin was talking to our company's Vice President Ma, he specifically invited Lu over as well. Everyone is saying that General Manager Lin has taken a liking to Lu and wants Lu to be his son-in-law."
Lu Yanhe's face darkened.
"What is all this nonsense?"
"Hahahahaha." Li Zhibai listened to Yan Liang's story but didn't take it to heart at all, because he knew it couldn't possibly be true.
“These people still have the same problem. They believe everything they hear and say whatever comes to mind,” Li Zhi said. “If President Lin had taken a liking to Lao Lu, Zhou Ping’an wouldn’t be so hostile towards him. He would probably be fawning over Lao Lu like he was a god of wealth.”
Yan Liang smiled too.
"But no one else could have imagined these things. They even said that Sister Ziyan chose Lu Yanhe because Old Lu was chosen by President Lin as his son-in-law."
"That's ridiculous." Li Zhi curled his lip in disdain. "You can't spread rumors like this. Give them a little ink and they'll conjure up a whole 'Along the River During the Qingming Festival' painting."
Lu Yanhe breathed a sigh of relief.
People in the company spread such rumors without any basis, but there's no smoke without fire. Fortunately, Li Zhibai and Yan Liang both simply didn't believe them and didn't think too much about it.
"Now I understand what it means to be sitting at home and have trouble falling from the sky," Lu Yanhe said helplessly. "I've only met Lin Miaomiao four times in total, and she's already considered my father's son-in-law. If I'm so popular, why doesn't the company spend millions to make me famous?"
"You wish! Zhou Ping'an is such a stingy miser, you think he'd throw marketing money at you? No way!" Li Zhibai said, turning to Yan Liang. "Yan Liang, don't count on him. You'll have to be nice to the people in the publicity and public relations departments yourself. If you're hoping Zhou Ping'an will help you with that, you can forget about it for the rest of your life."
Yan Liang was both amused and exasperated upon hearing this.
Most of the trending topics about Li Zhibai are paid for by his company at his family's expense. Although he always says that his parents don't care about him, are always thinking about business, and don't treat him well, in reality, his family has always been attentive to his affairs and has never neglected him.
Since Yan Liang didn't have that family background, he could only rely on himself.
-
Lu Yanhe hadn't expected that Lin Desheng and Lin Miaomiao's visit to the company would have a greater impact on him than he had anticipated.
On Wednesday, Lu Yanhe came to the company to teach as usual, and as soon as he entered the door, he attracted dozens of inquiring glances from those around him.
Those gazes were full of inquiry, and also some ambiguous feelings that were hard to define.
Many people looked at him differently, some with a hint of mockery.
Well, when a man climbs the social ladder, he's often seen as a gold digger. Everyone in the company knows Lu Yanhe's family background. He quietly hooked up with the princess of Aurora Video, and Lin Desheng even publicly praised him. Everyone had already woven a complete story in their minds: a beautiful swan falling in love with a poor boy.
Lu Yanhe disliked those looks.
But there was nothing he could do.
He couldn't run up to those people and ask them to stop looking at him like that, nor could he offer any explanation.
That's how rumors work. Unless someone comes to your door, you don't even have a chance to explain. If you go to them, they'll innocently say they never meant it and that you've misunderstood.
Depend on.
Lu Yanhe silently suppressed his displeasure and went into the rehearsal room.
One day, two days.
Lu Yanhe originally thought that this matter would gradually fade away. In the past, wasn't it said that time is the best remedy?
But things didn't go as Lu Yanhe expected; the way people looked at him didn't seem to change at all.
Chen Ziyan finally returned on Friday.
As soon as she got back, she arranged to have breakfast with Lu Yanhe at a breakfast shop near the company building.
"How have you been these past few days?" Chen Ziyan asked him with a smile.
Chen Ziyan ordered a bowl of wontons, slowly skimming off the oil before taking a bite.
Lu Yanhe ate noodles.
He chewed and swallowed, then said, "It's alright."
As for those rumors, Lu Yanhe guessed that Chen Ziyan must have known about them, but he didn't want to show in front of Chen Ziyan that he was quite affected.
One should not be swayed by rumors.
Lu Yanhe is not yet in the right mindset, so he can only secretly put on a brave face.
Chen Ziyan smiled at him and said, "As an artist, it's common to be the subject of rumors. Learning how to deal with gossip is a required course. Encountering this situation now is not a bad thing. Use this opportunity to cultivate your character, which will benefit your future."
"Mm." Lu Yanhe nodded.
"But I still want to ask privately, what is your relationship with that Miss Lin?"
"We're friends, I guess," Lu Yanhe replied. "Not like what they say."
“Okay, then you should adjust your attitude.” Chen Ziyan said, “People can say whatever they want, but what we do is our own business. I know you’re very unhappy right now, and there’s no way to adjust that. You can only adapt and figure it out yourself. There will be many more situations like this in the future, like marrying into a wealthy family or climbing the social ladder. As long as you get close to a girl like Lin Miaomiao, rumors will start. If you explain once, you’ll have to explain ten times. If you explain ten times, people won’t take your explanations seriously. So let them say what they want, and do what you should do. This is the experience I want to pass on to you.”
"Okay." Lu Yanhe breathed a sigh of relief. "I didn't want you to worry, but my mood has been a bit affected these past few days, and I've been feeling quite frustrated."
“That’s perfectly normal. You feel frustrated because you don’t have that so-called ambition to climb the social ladder, but that shows backbone, which is good.” Chen Ziyan’s eyes were filled with a warm smile. “If it were someone else, they might not feel frustrated, but rather angry and embarrassed.”
Lu Yanhe's lips curled up slightly.
“Let’s talk about something else, Li Zhenzhen’s show.” Chen Ziyan became serious. “I’ve thought about it carefully, and this show is worth recording; it will be good for you.”
Lu Yanhe was somewhat surprised, not expecting Chen Ziyan to say that.
He thought that in the eyes of an agent like Chen Ziyan, variety shows weren't considered mainstream.
Chen Ziyan said, "You are currently lacking in popularity. If you wait until 'The Golden Era' is finished filming and aired, it will be at least a year later. Not to mention if you take on other roles, the airing will be even later. Recording a variety show like this will allow it to be broadcast within the year, which will allow you to return to the audience's sight sooner."
"Hmm." Lu Yanhe hadn't thought of that.
Indeed, his only drama so far is "The Golden Era." From filming to airing, it will take at least a year. During that year, he will still be a little idol who has no works and has been out of fashion for a long time.
Chen Ziyan said, "But I don't want you to appear on variety shows too often. You know, if you record too many variety shows, it will leave too deep an impression, which is not good for your future as an actress. Although you haven't decided to pursue acting yet, don't narrow your path from the beginning. If you take on this variety show, you won't take on any other regular shows this year."
"I probably wouldn't get another regular show appearance, would I?" Lu Yanhe knew his own limitations very well. "I'm not a very famous star."
Chen Ziyan rolled her eyes at him and said, "Do you think I've been in the entertainment industry all these years for nothing? I'm going to find you a regular variety show. If you still need to become more famous on your own, then my title as a top agent is wasted."
Lu Yanhe forgot that his agent had connections throughout the entertainment industry.
"I'm taking you to a movie premiere tomorrow night, don't make any other plans," Chen Ziyan suddenly said.
"Huh? A movie premiere?"
"Okay, I'll introduce you to some people." Chen Ziyan finished the last wonton and patted her stomach contentedly. "I'm a little full today."
-
The premiere of "Enjoy Life While You Can" was the biggest premiere in June.
The scene was star-studded.
Lu Yanhe, dressed in a formal suit that Chen Ziyan had arranged, was led out of the car by Chen Ziyan and onto the red carpet. A group of photographers were taking pictures of him with their cameras, and he was so nervous that he could hardly move his hands and feet.
Lu Yanhe was quite uncomfortable being suddenly in this situation.
However, Chen Ziyan was quite adept at the route. She linked arms with Lu Yanhe and walked across the red carpet with a smile, entering the inner area.
The waiting room inside the arena is frequented by many celebrities.
Lu Yanhe saw many familiar faces.
"Enjoy Life While You Can" is a movie starring Shang Yongzhou. In addition to the main actors, many people came to support the film.
Lu Yanhe never expected to run into Wei Zhuoran from MX and female singer Xu Weiyang here.
He didn't get along well with either of them, especially the latter. When he tried to satirize Lu Yanhe during the recording of "Little Song Gathering," he lost face and was ridiculed by many netizens. He has been holding a grudge against Lu Yanhe ever since.
Chen Ziyan, with Lu Yanhe by her side, completely ignored the two younger ones.
First, he went to greet Fu Kai, the director of "Enjoy Life While You Can," and then he went to meet the female lead, Zeng Mi.
Once everyone was finally out of Shang Yongzhou's sight, Chen Ziyan darted forward to take his seat. "Yongzhou, I wish your movie great box office success in advance!"
When Shang Yongzhou saw Chen Ziyan, a bright smile appeared on his handsome face.
"I've been looking for you. I thought you hadn't come." Shang Yongzhou immediately hugged Chen Ziyan. "Why are you so late?"
Chen Ziyan pointed to Lu Yanhe, who was standing helplessly beside her, and said, "I was picking out clothes for him, so I'm late. Lu Yanhe is a new guy I brought along. I'll have to ask you to take care of him in the future."
Shang Yongzhou looked at Lu Yanhe with some surprise and smiled, "Junior Brother, hello."
Seeing Shang Yongzhou extend his right hand, Lu Yanhe was flattered and extended his hand as well. "Hello, I am Lu Yanhe."
Shang Yongzhou said to Chen Ziyan, "So you finally couldn't stand the loneliness and came out of retirement again."
Chen Ziyan said with a smile, "That's right, we're just killing time anyway."
Shang Yongzhou patted Lu Yanhe on the shoulder and said, "If there's a chance in the future, let's act together."
He put his arm around Lu Yanhe's shoulder and said to the people around him, "Come on, help us take a group photo."
Lu Yanhe was still a little confused.
Shang Yongzhou put his arm around his shoulder and smiled warmly as someone took a photo of them together.
-
Xu Weiyang held a glass of lemonade in her hand and looked at Lu Yanhe, who looked awkward but had Shang Yongzhou's arm around his shoulder. A sour feeling welled up in her heart.
Wei Zhuoran walked over, saw the hint of jealousy on her face, smiled, and asked, "What's wrong? Can't stand it anymore?"
Xu Weiyang glanced at Wei Zhuoran and said, "What do I have to complain about? Aren't you jealous? He has a good manager. When he went over, Shang Yongzhou was so friendly and took a photo with him. You've worked so hard for so long, and you can't even get a chance to meet him. Weren't you trying to talk to Shang Yongzhou just now, but you couldn't get a word in edgewise?"
Xu Weiyang's sarcastic remarks annoyed Wei Zhuoran.
But since she's a girl, Wei Zhuoran really couldn't bring himself to argue with her.
"Hehe, he doesn't just have a good agent, he has a good father-in-law," Wei Zhuoran said. "Who can compare to that?"
Just as Xu Weiyang was about to speak, she suddenly saw her agent walking towards her anxiously. "I'm looking for you!"
Her agent interrupted her directly.
Xu Weiyang looked at her manager, puzzled, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Come here for a second." Her agent pulled her a few steps away without saying a word.
"What's wrong?" Xu Weiyang asked, frowning.
At this moment, her agent whispered, "Are you being silly? There was a live broadcast. Your conversation with Wei Zhuoran was recorded by the live stream next to you."
Xu Weiyang's expression froze, and she turned around in surprise.
Wei Zhuoran was still looking at them with a blank expression.
Then, not far behind Wei Zhuoran, Xu Weiyang saw a mobile phone that was broadcasting live from the scene.
Wei Zhuoran saw her gaze pass over him and look behind him, so he turned around too. When he saw the person holding up a phone and doing a live stream, he remembered what he had just said, and his expression changed instantly.
-
The premiere of "Enjoy Life While You Can" was a great success today, and the official account was broadcasting the event live.
But just now, a mishap occurred.
As the staff of the live broadcast were introducing the guests who were present that evening, a man and a woman's voices suddenly came from the background, discussing Lu Yanhe.
The chat room immediately exploded with comments.
The main issue is that the content of their discussion is quite sensational.
Does Lu Yanhe have a good father-in-law?
Who is Lu Yanhe?
You can only hear their voices but not see them, but the two people speaking are clearly envious of Lu Yanhe being treated so warmly by Shang Yongzhou.
Upon investigation, everyone discovered that Lu Yanhe was actually a minor celebrity. Upon further inspection, it was revealed that he had even made headlines more than half a year ago for his act of bravery—the young idol who dared to stand up to a murderer.
He actually got married?
Didn't he just finish the college entrance exam?
He got married at eighteen? Who's his father-in-law?
More and more people are talking about it.
Chen Ziyan was reminded by others and went online to check, only to find that her artist had inexplicably become a trending topic on the entertainment list.
Her first reaction was to suppress the heat.
This kind of trending topic is not a good thing for Lu Yanhe.
But after a slight pause, she stopped making the phone call.
This is free publicity, why not take it? The whole father-in-law thing is completely fabricated, it's easy to prove. Chen Ziyan would never push this opportunity to generate buzz and bring some fame to Lu Yanhe.
Her second reaction was to control the direction of public opinion and not let it overshadow the main issue.
After all, it was the premiere of a movie starring Shang Yongzhou, so they couldn't let this overshadow him.
Lu Yanhe was just a guest.
After a moment's thought, Chen Ziyan immediately took out her phone and typed out a draft of her speech.
The movie "Enjoy Life" is a standard two-hour film.
After the screening, the entire audience erupted in applause.
The movie was pretty good. Those who came to the premiere were either friends or fans, so of course they gave me face.
The post-screening Q&A lasted for about forty minutes before the premiere finally ended.
There's also a small party.
Chen Ziyan immediately went to see Lu Yanhe and told him what had just happened.
Lu Yanhe only realized at this moment that he had inexplicably become a trending topic on the entertainment search list.
"..." An unexpected disaster.
It turns out that this was a follow-up to the incident involving Lin Miaomiao.
Someone online has amplified a segment of the audio.
Lu Yanhe immediately recognized the male voice.
Wei Zhuoran!
Lu Yanhe frowned, his anger rising.
Seeing this, Chen Ziyan comforted him, "If you're angry, you can vent it when you get back. There are so many people watching now. If you don't take it seriously, others will realize that this is nonsense."
Chen Ziyan's few words made Lu Yanhe understand this principle, and he forcibly suppressed his anger.
Lu Yanhe took a deep breath and asked, "Sister Ziyan, what should I do now?"
"If anyone asks, pretend you don't know anything, then act helpless and take the opportunity to clarify that the father-in-law thing is completely unfounded," Chen Ziyan said. "I've already prepared a speech for you. I'll post it on your Weibo after you leave the party tonight. Don't forget, tonight isn't your show. Don't let yourself steal the spotlight."
"Okay." Lu Yanhe nodded.
Chen Ziyan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Lu Yanhe obediently agreed to her arrangements.
Many celebrities are obedient when things are going well, but when something happens, they get emotional and stubborn.
This situation is most likely to occur among young artists.
Fortunately, Lu Yanhe's obedience was genuine.
Chen Ziyan patted Lu Yanhe's arm reassuringly and said, "Although this matter is disgusting, it may not be a bad thing. It's free publicity, so let's take this opportunity to clarify things and prevent others from using it to spread rumors and cause trouble in the future."
Lu Yanhe's respect for Chen Ziyan grew stronger.
For some reason, it seems that no matter what happens, it doesn't seem like a big deal to Chen Ziyan.
-
When Chen Ziyan and Lu Yanhe agreed to take it calmly, Wei Zhuoran and Xu Weiyang were both a little flustered.
Although neither of them appeared on camera, those familiar with them could recognize them just by their voices.
Gossiping about others behind their backs can severely damage their image if it gets exposed.
Both Wei Zhuoran and Xu Weiyang follow the perfect idol route, but gossiping behind people's backs is extremely damaging to their image.
Wei Zhuoran immediately went to find his agent, Lin Suyang.
Lin Suyang was also present today. This kind of occasion is usually frequented by agents because there are many key figures, and they can gain a lot of connections and resources.
Lin Suyang was unaware that Wei Zhuoran had gotten himself into trouble with his words.
He didn't follow the live broadcast like Xu Weiyang's agent did.
Wei Zhuoran had just finished telling him the whole story when the organizers urged everyone to enter the venue to prepare for the movie.
Lin Suyang was extremely worried and told Wei Zhuoran not to rush and to go see a movie first. He himself had no interest in watching the movie and was thinking about how to handle the situation.
Wei Zhuoran's statement, "It's not that he has a good agent, it's that he has a good father-in-law. Who can compare to that?" is too offensive.
Lin Suyang didn't even care that in Wei Zhuoran's mind, Chen Ziyan was much better than him.
Once everyone knows that the person who said this is Wei Zhuoran, they are bound to offend him.
Lin Suyang didn't think twice; Wei Zhuoran's voice would definitely be recognized, and it was a foregone conclusion that Chen Ziyan and Lu Yanhe would hold a grudge against them.
But right now, nobody knows who this so-called father-in-law is.
This matter needs to be suppressed.
Otherwise, if someone discovers that the father-in-law refers to Lin Desheng and drags Lin Desheng into this public opinion, Wei Zhuoran will have to offend Lin Desheng as well.
It's not so scary that Wei Zhuoran offended Chen Ziyan and Lu Yanhe, but if he gets on Lin Desheng's good side, he'll probably lose all of Aurora Video's resources.
In this digital age, Aurora Video is one of the giants in online video. Which celebrity would dare to offend it easily?
Lin Suyang grew angrier the more he thought about it.
Why does Wei Zhuoran have to be so careless with his mouth? Saying these things in front of so many people!
While he was angry, he also had to think of a solution. Wei Zhuoran was a member of MX and a popular artist under his management. His attitude towards this crisis was one thing, but dealing with the troubles was another.
In two hours, Lin Suyang had gone through the whole story in his mind.
As soon as the premiere ended, he searched the entire venue for Chen Ziyan.
We need to talk to Chen Ziyan about this in order to resolve this crisis.
Chen Ziyan had just finished explaining things to Lu Yanhe when Lin Suyang came looking for her.
"Sister Ziyan, I'm so sorry. I just found out what Wei Zhuoran did! I'm really sorry for causing you trouble." Lin Suyang immediately adopted an exceptionally humble posture, bowing deeply to Chen Ziyan at a ninety-degree angle, which startled both Chen Ziyan and Lu Yanhe.
Coming to her senses, Chen Ziyan looked at Lin Suyang indifferently.
"Are you the only one who came to apologize? Where is Wei Zhuoran?" Chen Ziyan asked.
