Three Years After Divorce, I Became a Superstar

After three years of divorce, Gu Mo was enticed by his superstar ex-wife, Ren Ya, with a hefty sum to participate in a non-normal divorce dating variety show. Through this program, which blends sup...

Chapter 28: Happy Cooperation, My Ex-husband

Previously, Li Lei learned from the chief director that Ren Ya wanted him to cooperate in promoting the new drama.

Li Lei immediately showed a surprised expression and asked, "Ren Ya, your new drama seems to be called "Woman", right? When will it be broadcast? I'm looking forward to it.

I personally particularly like your drama "Flower and Butterfly Wedding", and I like the lovely and brave heroine Hua Die in the drama. You also brought the quirky character's personality to life.

This sentence is very well said.

Li Lei deliberately left a button open for Ren Ya so that she could take over the conversation.

As a host of Mango TV, how could he forget that Ren Ya’s new drama is called "Women at Thirty"!

The purpose of mentioning "The Wedding of Flowers and Butterflies" is to make some viewers remember her famous work again, which can be regarded as a form of sentimental marketing.

Ren Ya smiled and said, "My new drama is called "Women at Thirty," and it will be broadcast on our Mango TV at 8pm on July 22nd.

I am very grateful to Brother Lei for liking the drama "Flowers and Butterflies" that I starred in. That drama is also one of my personal masterpieces."

"July 22nd? That's not that long now."

"Yes, time always slips away from our fingers inadvertently.

Many years have passed since I started filming TV series and movies."

This time, Li Lei did not continue with the Q&A session.

He turned his head and looked at Gu Mo: "Gu Mo, I remember you are a creative musician, right? A long time ago, you also wrote a song "Love Offering" for Ren Ya to sing.

It was this collaboration that made Ren Ya famous all over the country.

After so many years, are you interested in working with her again? "

Li Lei's words immediately aroused the interest of many people.

After all, the story wasn't widely publicized back then. The song was popular only because of the singer, Ren Ya, not the composer, Gu Mo.

This incident was subsequently reported by many media outlets, but the popularity of the peripheral products related to "The Wedding of Flowers and Butterflies" had long since dissipated, and netizens' attention was attracted by newer and sweeter gossip and scandals.

It is impossible for Gu Mo to agree to it immediately, otherwise the show will lose its conflict and drama.

There must be some tug-of-war, which is in line with his "personality".

“I’m not interested. What was my relationship with Ren Ya back then, and what is it now?

If I work with her, I will definitely be scolded by netizens.

Maybe someone will say, 'Three years after the divorce, Gu Mo has once again become Ren Ya's bootlicker.' Don't I, Gu, have any face?

I don't want to do something that's thankless!"

Zhang Jiakang laughed wildly, and even took the opportunity to watch the fun, and came up with a 'bad idea': "Hahaha, I think Xiao Gu, you can agree to it.

Netizens are not optimistic about your cooperation, but you insist on cooperating with Ren Ya, going against the trend. Isn't that beyond netizens' expectations?

Isn't this overwhelming traffic just falling on you?

I'm particularly curious to see how netizens will 'praise' you for your intelligence and ability."

"Old Zhang, what are you doing?" He Jiaqian gently scolded her ex-husband.

She didn't want to make things difficult for Gu Mo, as this was a bit like moral kidnapping.

But as an ex-wife, her behavior of scolding her ex-husband always makes people feel a little weird.

The relationship between these two people is quite ambiguous.

"Okay, okay, I'll shut up, okay?" Zhang Jiakang stopped talking, but his expression spoke volumes.

It's lively and interesting, he loves watching it.

What’s more, you can watch it in person!

Liu Bowen is very smart. Upon seeing this, he immediately stepped forward to provoke and ridicule Gu Mo.

"Gu Mo, are you still afraid of netizens scolding you? You even dare to scold the director, so why are you afraid of netizens? It's not like you haven't been scolded before anyway.

People like me are used to being scolded.

I once posted a daily selfie on Weibo, and not long after, a lot of netizens scolded me, it was really unpleasant.

But I still don’t live a good life?

What's wrong with being criticized for working with your ex-wife? A man should be brave and not afraid of danger.

Aren’t you a man?”

Gu Mo was embarrassed to retort to the movie star Zhang Jiakang.

But little Liu Bowen? He's got it!

Are you afraid of hardship and are you soft-hearted?

No, that’s because Gu Mo respects the elderly and loves the young.

Who made Liu Bowen not old or young?

Gu Mo: "Haha, I won't be like you and ignore the risks and continue to install it. No wonder your mind is full of Trojans and viruses. Use your not-so-healthy brain to think about it. Are you willing to call me godfather?"

"Nonsense, only a fool would do that!"

"What if I can arrange for you to play the second male lead in Brother Zhang's new movie?"

"Ah?" Liu Bowen was stunned. He subconsciously glanced at Zhang Jiakang, as if asking for his opinion and verifying the authenticity of this matter.

"See, you're hesitant, right? If I can really do it, will you be willing to call me godfather?

Even a fool like you knows that you should never do anything that has no benefit.

If there are some benefits that you can't refuse, I feel that you will be willing to be my henchman."

At this time, Li Lei's IQ once again took the lead.

He quickly asked, "Gu Mo, what you mean is that you definitely won't do anything that doesn't benefit you. So what if there is benefit? Are you willing to cooperate with Ren Ya again?"

Gu Mo's face was expressionless: "I'll think about it."

Ren Ya finally spoke, holding up a finger and saying, "One hundred thousand per song. Please compose a promotional song for my new drama, 'Women at Thirty'. After all, this price is already far above your market price."

Gu Mo: “Before, the price of the songs I composed was determined by market demand, but now the price is determined by me personally.

I have now made up my mind that your sincerity is insufficient."

“Double it!”

"Very good, it's almost meeting my expectations."

Liu Bowen interrupted again: "Gu Mo, do you think you are so popular? You are not even worth 100,000.

If you ask me, Sister Ren Ya, don't waste your money. I promise to find you a good, affordable, and obedient singer-songwriter."

Ren Ya stabbed Liu Bowen in the heart: "I have a bad value system. I believe that cheap products are not good. I don't want the creators you choose.

If the creator is really good, I think even if you are not the best male singer now, you should be a pop star or a best-selling singer, right?

Unfortunately, you are none of them!"

Liu Bowen was still stubborn and made specious arguments: "Didn't Gu Mo write songs for you for free before? And didn't it become popular anyway? Who dares to say that cheap things are not good?"

“At that time, he was willing to compose songs for me for free because true love is priceless.

Now, we are no longer husband and wife, but at most a partnership. He will only use the amount of money to measure the supply and demand relationship between us."

After dealing with that fool Liu Bowen, Ren Ya made the final decision: "Three hundred thousand per song, this is the highest price I can offer at the moment.

I would only consider a premium if you have a successful market case.”

"Mr. Ren, we have a pleasant cooperation."

Ren Ya extended her right hand to Gu Mo: "Happy cooperation."

Nice work with you, my ex-husband!
