Gu Xian knocked on the table. If he wasn't surrounded by several pillows on the chair, he would indeed look very majestic.
"Did you give him the key to the office?"
Yu Le stood in front of the desk, somewhat afraid to look directly at Gu Xian.
The fans and haters in the entertainment industry wouldn't just stop during the Lunar New Year holiday; some would even deliberately exploit the busy schedule to stir up trouble. So during the Lunar New Year holiday, he also had to monitor online public opinion and report any developments to Gu Xian.
During the seven days of the Spring Festival, he had experienced many times that he had called Gu Xian, but heard Xie Yunjing's voice instead. Moreover, the voice on the other end of the phone was strange, which made it difficult not to overthink. Now Gu Xian was cushioned by a pile of pillows, and the reason was self-evident.
Yu Le coughed before answering, "Yes, Mr. Xie said he wanted to give you, Mr. Gu, a surprise, so I gave him the key."
"You gave it to him if he said so?" Gu Xian said seriously, "What if the surprise he wants to give me is to steal the company seal?"
"But……"
"But what? But he and I are already married? Didn't you see the news about the CEO of XX company and his wife getting divorced, and the man broke down the company door to steal the official seal?"
Yu Le was scolded so much that he dared not speak, but when he saw Gu Xian hugging a pillow to his chest, he couldn't help but ask, "Can you give it to me next time?"
“…”
Gu Xian paused in rubbing the pillow and looked at Yu Le, who had an innocent look on his face, for a moment.
"Go get another one."
Yu Le didn't hear clearly: "What?"
Now it was Gu Xian's turn to avoid sight.
"I said, go get another key."
Gu Xian picked up a document on the table and asked casually, "How's the promotion for our drama going?"
The purpose of getting another key is self-evident. Yu Le covered his mouth with his fist to prevent the duplicitous boss from getting angry and embarrassed if he discovered his smirk.
He coughed again, opened the folder he carried with him, and began to give a work report in a professional manner.
"Thanks to the two trending searches by you and Mr. Xie," Yu Le cautiously glanced at Gu Xian's expression, "and the support of Xu Jia's fans, 'Songshan' has become quite well-known. However, Fengxing's recent policy has been to attack our company for poor production quality, labeling our drama as a shoddy one cobbled together by a makeshift team. Even though our trailer was excellent, Fengxing used several other examples with excellent trailers but terrible productions as comparisons. This has already set the tone and influenced some netizens, and we estimate that we will lose a number of potential viewers."
"It's not wrong to say that our crew is a makeshift team." Gu Xian stretched out his hand, "Let me see."
"Okay." Yu Le handed the folder in his hand to Gu Xian.
Gu Xian flipped through a few pages and frowned slightly: "After being sued last time, you still dare to hire online trolls so arrogantly?"
It is not quite accurate to say that they “hired” them. After all, as a long-established leading entertainment company, how could Fengxing Media not have several water army teams under its control?
Yu Le immediately followed up: "Do you need to sue again?"
Gu Xian shook his head: "No, it's too troublesome."
Last time, they borrowed Xie Yunjing's manpower. Otherwise, they would have to use Guangyao, a small company, to sue all those water armies that spread rumors and cause trouble. Who knows how busy they would be.
Moreover, the other party is playing the game of sacrificing the rook to save the king, and doesn't mind sacrificing a group of water troops, so suing will not have much effect.
Fengxing, having been sued once, still dares to act this way, clearly understanding that this time around is different from the previous slander and defamation targeting him and his crew. Audiences have the right to evaluate artistic works like film and television, and even if their evaluations are biased, you can't simply silence them. While it's true that Fengxing's online influencers are stirring up trouble online, these influencers can also be audience members, and from a legal perspective, it's difficult to determine whether they've violated the law.
Yu Le asked: "So what should we do next?"
Even if they're confident in their own dramas, that doesn't mean they can ignore Fengxing's smear campaign. After all, there are countless TV series out there, and even a tiny speck like "Legend of Songshan" wouldn't be a big deal. With the preconceived notion that it's a "bad show," it's inevitable that some netizens will simply avoid watching "Legend of Songshan."
If a TV series wants to be successful, it must never give up on any potential audience.
"Don't worry." Gu Xian returned the folder to Yu Le. "Our drama will be released soon, so you can continue to take care of the related matters. As for Fengxing, I will take care of it."
After Yu Le left the office, Gu Xian picked up his phone and opened a chat group.
Although his social circle is not as high-quality as Xie Yunjing's, almost all of them are super elites who can be featured in financial and business magazines, but being unconventional has its advantages. When it comes to finding out some shameful romantic affairs, his brothers are much more professional than Xie Yunjing's people.
Since Fengxing Media believes that whoever shouts louder is more right in the entertainment industry, let's compare whose deeds are more shameful after shouting.
It’s a pity that the cases of “Legend of Songshan” and “Legend of Leshan” cannot be completed within one or two years.
After finishing what he needed to do, Gu Xian moved his butt - even though the comfort of the seat had been greatly improved after Xie Yunjing's upgrade, it was still torture for him now after sitting for a long time.
Gu Xian rubbed the pillow hard and sent a message to Xie Yunjing.
Ni Xian Ge: I’m going home first.
He got up and left the office.
"Well, Xie, did something good happen?" A middle-aged man with golden curly hair and green eyes looked at Xie Yunjing. His eyes showed both recognition of the partner and kindness of an elder towards a young man.
Xie Yunjing put down his phone and smiled brightly: "It's just that my lover sent me a text message to act coquettish."
Listening to Xie Yunjing's detailed description, the middle-aged man showed an understanding: "I've read your reports, you seem to be a good match."
Xie Yunjing picked up the coffee gracefully: "Thank you."
After the two chatted face to face for a while, the middle-aged man put down his almost empty coffee cup and said, "I have other things to take care of. I'll be leaving today."
Xie Yunjing stood up before him, extended his hand and said, "Thank you, Mr. Kevin, for coming to the appointment today. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation in the future."
Kevin shook his hand and said, "It's a pleasure to work with you. The friendship between Sean and Xie's will last forever."
Xie Yunjing let go and took his hand back, but a sharp look suddenly appeared in Kevin's gentle green eyes.
"Thanks, wait!"
"Mr. Kevin?"
"Thanks, what happened?"
The two of them said in unison. Xie Yunjing followed Kevin's gaze and found that he was staring at his wrist. Then he remembered that there was a scary-looking scratch on his arm. Because the scratch was too close to his wrist, his sleeve could only barely cover it. Kevin's expression suddenly changed, and he remembered that he had noticed the scratch when he shook hands with him.
Kevin said angrily and seriously, "Thank you. I know your culture doesn't usually pursue domestic violence cases, and even judges can make wrong decisions. But domestic violence is absolutely illegal and absolutely wrong!"
Xie Yunjing felt a little embarrassed for once.
Even if she no longer competed with him for supremacy, given Gu Xian's personality, even if he was the one in the lower position, he would not be manipulated by him. Moreover, he had indeed been unruly in the past few days, so Gu Xian would naturally be even more ruthless in his revenge.
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Kevin. But this is a misunderstanding." Xie Yunjing coughed and pulled up his sleeves, revealing more intertwined marks.
He smiled once again, as if showing off a medal, and said, "This is just a little fun between me and my love."
The bar was empty during the day, with only a few figures sipping slowly under the dim lights. At this moment, Gu Xian, a limping figure followed by several tall, burly men in black, loomed large.
Even if you have a strong presence, you can only attract so much attention.
Gu Xian refused the bodyguard's kindness in offering to support him. By the time he reached the door of the private room, his back was already covered with a thin layer of sweat.
Gu Xian leaned against the door frame and took a deep breath before opening the door and entering the house.
Li Yuqiu, Shengyi and Han Rui, who were in the room, were shocked by his strong will despite his disability when they looked up, and they quickly stood up and came over to help him.
Gu Xian ignored them, walked a few steps to the sofa, and quickly sat down.
“I’ll go!”
There was a flurry of glances between Li Yuqiu, Shengyi and Han Rui, and in the end, Li Yuqiu was the most impatient.
Gu Xian slumped half-dead on the sofa, with hesitation on his face. In the end, he was defeated by the cruel reality and Li Yuqiu's "Oh my God". He resigned himself to his fate and turned over, lying on the sofa.
Sheng Yi sighed: "Tsk tsk, this time he really sacrificed himself for love, didn't he?"
Li Yuqiu looked incredulous, as if the person sprawled on the sofa wasn't Gu Xian but some alien creature. "Seven days! You really did it for seven days!?"
Han Rui pondered for a moment, "The results of Xie Yunjing's fitness training are so good? Can I ask him to give me some guidance someday?"
Gu Xian rolled his eyes: "Do you want to die?"
Sheng Yi was unmoved and laughed, "You came here on your own, and anyone can tell what's going on."
Li Yuqiu regained a trace of brotherly conscience: "Since you are in this state, why don't you ask us to come and pick you up?"
Gu Xian said unhappily, "I have a bodyguard with me! If I need help, shouldn't I ask him? Besides, I'm not disabled!"
"That's about the same." This is Han Rui.
Gu Xian took a deep breath and was too lazy to pay attention to them.
Li Yuqiu, however, was not quiet. He looked at the thermal bag he had brought in and placed on the coffee table. His eyes suddenly lit up. "Old Ni's food? Brought for us?"
As he said this, he was about to reach out to touch it.
However, Gu Xian, who looked like a useless person, suddenly quickly slapped his hand away, leaving a crisp "pop" sound in the air.
"Who said it was for you?"
"Then who did you bring it to?" Li Yuqiu rubbed the back of his hand that was hurt, his face full of grievance. Gu Xian didn't hold back at all when he slapped him.
Han Rui laughed: "Who else could it be for?"
Sheng Yi also understood, but he was a little confused when he spoke: "You ran to me for refuge, Xie Yunjing will come and take you back soon, and you even brought him something. Do you want to avoid him or not?"
Gu Xian grabbed the pillow and put it on his head: "Let's talk about it when you come."
Only Li Yuqiu hadn't caught up. "You came to the bar to avoid Xie Yunjing? Why?"
Han Rui sighed, looking like a child who is beyond teaching: "If your partner pesters you to fight with monsters for seven days straight, can you not hide away?"
Li Yuqiu was still a little confused: "But this place isn't safe either? If Xie Yunjing can't find Gu Xian, the first place he'll search will definitely be here."
"Heh." Han Rui gave Gu Xian, who was playing the ostrich, a meaningful look. "This is the fun between young couples. Of course, a single guy like you who can't find a partner based on your ability doesn't understand."
"Damn it!" Han Rui's ridicule deeply hurt Li Yuqiu's heart. He cursed and pointed at Sheng Yi, "I'm not the only single person here!"
Shengyi smiled elegantly, afraid of dropping his hand as he pointed at her: "Although I'm single, you and I are not of the same species."
It would be fine if they were just being noisy, but the topic kept revolving around him. Gu Xian scolded them, "You guys are just telling crosstalk..."
Before he could even utter the word "呢", he was interrupted by the sudden ringing of his cell phone.
Gu Xian took out his cell phone and whistled cordially: "You're checking in really quickly."
Gu Xian answered the phone without saying a word. The person on the other end didn't mind and only asked gently, "Didn't you say you were going home first?"
