Chapter 98: A Stone Smashed in the Foot
"What did you shoot during your stay in Paris?"
"How much material is this? Is this the result of your one-week follow-up?"
"Yu Qin, you are the chief director now, so leave these chores to your subordinates. If this show doesn't work, you will be fired from Yinghuang immediately."
It has been two days since Yu Qin returned from Paris. He took Jiang Yanyu's private plane to Beijing and then took another flight back to Shanghai.
Within half an hour of the video of La Forêt's show being released, the internet went wild.
In particular, the blurry few seconds of video where Jiang Yanyu fell from mid-air and kissed Luo Qinglin on the forehead were discussed like crazy.
The video was recorded by a guest watching the show. The camera was shaky and the video was not clear, so only a rough outline could be seen.
So everyone in the fan group is asking for a long video, and they are willing to dig deep into the ground to find out who recorded the whole process.
Yu Qin looked at the chat records in the fan group and thought, he does have the video of the whole process, but the perverted NPC member is unwilling to release it and only wants to edit it into his own documentary.
After the blogger’s “confession in prison” last time, several bloggers who often slandered Luo Qinglin on the Internet have restrained themselves a lot. This time they dared not to mention the names and only dared to secretly say that the two were hyping up the situation.
Some fans also went to the official blog of "Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter Us" to urge progress:
[Dear program crew, you have been filming from summer to autumn, when will the program be online? 】
[Why don’t you just change your name to “We in Autumn and Winter”? 】
[I won’t wait until winter, the show won’t be online yet [covering mouth in surprise.jpg]]
When his boss heard about it, he called in the middle of the night, scolded Yu Qin and told him to get out if he couldn't do it.
Just get out, Yu Qin thought. The total salary he earned in these few years at Phoenix is not even as much as the money he could spend on a trip to Paris.
However, Yu Qin only dared to think about it in his heart. As a director with no background, if he messed up the show, no platform in the circle would accept him to direct a variety show.
Thinking of this, Yu Qin sighed and said in a flattering tone: "Mr. Yu, Mr. Jiang and Mr. Luo are very popular now, why don't we play their clips first to warm up?"
"Can these crappy footages you shot be used? They were all from watching shows, and the outdoor scenes were just strolling around in the garden. Are you going to broadcast it like this and get scolded by the audience?"
Yu Qin coughed lightly and put forward an excuse, "Mr. Yu, Mr. Jiang has requirements for the broadcast images. There are some images that he doesn't want to show to outsiders."
When the person on the other end heard this, the voice stopped instantly and there was silence.
After a long while, the person on the other end of the phone spoke, and the voice was intimidating, "Go and talk to Mr. Jiang, get his consent, and hand over the other materials, or you'll get out!"
If the footage of Luo Qinglin wearing a skirt was really broadcast, Jiang Yanyu would kill him.
"Yes, yes, I will definitely convince him." Yu Qin said in a humble voice, rolled his eyes, and hung up the phone.
Yu Qin didn't plan to just look for Jiang Yanyu. After all, capitalists were shrewd and difficult to talk to. However, he was planning to ask Luo Qinglin for mercy and cry a few words, which would definitely be effective.
-
When Yu Qin's evil ideas hit Luo Qinglin, Luo Qinglin was lying in the bedroom, staring at the chandelier on the ceiling in a daze.
The lights were not on in the room and the curtains were not drawn. The sunlight from outside the building shone into the room, refracting through the crystals on the ceiling and casting traces like floral patterns on the walls.
Luo Qinglin woke up for half an hour, but didn't want to get up, so he lay on the bed in a daze.
From the moment Jiang Yanyu jumped down from mid-air and kissed him on the head, Luo Qinglin's heart had been beating non-stop. He felt like he was under a spell from a witch, and he had palpitations when he was awake and when he was asleep.
On the second day after returning home, he not only couldn't sleep well due to jet lag, but also his dreams were filled with the voice of a vixen.
"I love you, I love you, I love you..."
Luo Qinglin placed his hand on his left chest. His heart was beating very fast as if it was out of control. It hadn't gotten better even after returning home for two days.
The excitement was like oxygen inhaled into the body, flowing into every limb and bone, making Luo Qinglin like a frightened bird. He wanted to hide as soon as he saw Jiang Yanyu.
Luo Qinglin knew why this happened, because he had the same reaction when he first met Jiang Yanyu: excitement, beautiful dreams, palpitations, and washing pants.
Of course, Luo Qinglin is not as immature as he was in adolescence, so he doesn't have to get up early in the morning to wash his pants.
"call......"
Luo Qinglin let out a light breath, turned over and lay down, ready to delay it as much as possible today and leave the room to see Jiang Yanyu later.
Buzz!
The phone on the bedside table vibrated. It was a call from Yu Qin.
Luo Qinglin cleared his throat and answered the phone, "Director Yu?"
"Qinglin!" Yu Qin said eagerly, "Are you up yet? If you still want to sleep, I'll call you later."
Yu Qin changed his previous respectful attitude and stopped calling him "Mr. Luo". He just called him by his name affectionately.
Luo Qinglin was not used to it, so he blinked and asked hesitantly, "No, no, I'm already up. What do you want to talk to me about?"
"It's like this," Yu Qin said, "The program team wants to broadcast the footage you and Mr. Jiang filmed in Paris as a pre-production special. I'd like to ask if you agree to this?"
"No..." Luo Qinglin subconsciously wanted to say it was okay, but fortunately he changed his words cautiously in the middle of the sentence, "This... I have to discuss it with Jiang Yanyu first."
Yu Qin originally thought that Luo Qinglin was easy to talk to and would agree directly, so he could bring up the topic and ask Luo Qinglin if he could broadcast other "prohibited" materials.
Luo Qinglin would definitely ask "what material", and he would say a few more vague words, hinting that Jiang Yanyu should not let him say more.
In this way, Luo Qinglin would question Jiang Yanyu out of curiosity, and he would use the "documentary" to get Jiang Yanyu to agree to broadcast the special in advance. He could then take advantage of the situation to raise conditions and maybe even release the video of the La Forêt show.
Yu Qin's plan was easy to come up with, but he got stuck at the first step.
"Okay, okay, please discuss this with Mr. Jiang first." However, Yu Qin was not stupid. After agreeing, he lightly said, "By the way, ask him if he agrees to broadcast the footage of the La Forêt show."
Luo Qinglin asked in confusion: "What's wrong with the footage from the La Forêt show? Can't it be broadcast?"
"Mr. Jiang understands what I mean, just go and ask him," Yu Qin said very quickly, "Thank you, Qinglin, I'll hang up first, bye."
Beep beep beep...
There was a busy tone in the receiver. Luo Qinglin didn't understand the situation and hung up the phone hesitantly.
What's the meaning?
Do we have to ask Jiang Yanyu whether the show footage can be broadcast?
Could it be that the vixen's capital empire has infiltrated Yinghuang, and now everyone has to listen to him? Not really.
Luo Qinglin sat up suspiciously, stretched, and was about to get out of bed.
Click!
The door handle was pulled down from the outside, but because the door was locked, it could not be opened successfully.
"Why did you lock the door?" Jiang Yanyu asked while knocking on the door.
Luo Qinglin subconsciously retracted his legs, curled up in bed without making a sound, pretending to be still asleep.
After a few seconds of silence, Jiang Yanyu snorted and said, "Luo Qinglin, stop pretending. I just heard you talking on the phone with someone else!"
Luo Qinglin had no choice but to sigh, jump out of bed barefoot and open the door.
"If you don't come to open the door, I'll go get the key!" Jiang Yanyu continued.
"Here I come," Luo Qinglin ran to the door and muttered, "Why are you in such a hurry..."
As soon as the door opened, Jiang Yanyu rushed in, as if he was going to pounce on Luo Qinglin. But Luo Qinglin turned around quickly, avoided Jiang Yanyu, and hid behind the door.
Jiang Yanyu's attempt was in vain and his mood became noticeably worse. He then slowly turned around, grabbed the door with one hand, pulled it open with force and then closed it, making a loud noise.
"You have been like this since the day before yesterday. When I talk to you, you are absent-minded. When I want to hug you, you hide. Luo Qinglin, what do you mean?" Jiang Yanyu asked with a sullen face.
Luo Qinglin raised his eyes, stole a glance at Jiang Yanyu, then immediately looked away, his eyes dodging, looking extremely guilty.
"Speak!" Jiang Yanyu sighed heavily, walked forward, put one hand on the wall, and pinned Luo Qinglin in the corner of the door.
"I, I, I..." Luo Qinglin shrank his neck, looking embarrassed, and stuttered, "I'm nervous."
"Nervous?" Jiang Yanyu leaned over and observed Luo Qinglin's expression closely. "Why are you nervous?"
As soon as Jiang Yanyu approached, Luo Qinglin held his breath and continued to shrink into the corner until his back was against the wall.
Luo Qinglin pursed his lips and thought, he couldn't confess that he was feeling anxious and excited, that he had had obscene dreams for two nights in a row, and that he had secretly done something dirty in the bathroom last night.
"You, you received someone else's confession, wouldn't you be nervous?" Luo Qinglin lied, "Anyway, I'm very nervous, and now I don't know how to face you."
Jiang Yanyu frowned, as if he couldn't understand. "I told you I like you a long time ago, why are you getting nervous now? Luo Qinglin, are you a sloth? Do you have such a long reaction time?"
"You said 'like' then, and 'love' the day before yesterday. They're different. I just couldn't help but get nervous." Luo Qinglin retorted in a low voice.
Jiang Yanyu pursed her lips, choked to the point of being speechless. She stood there with her arms folded, staring at Luo Qinglin.
The two of them stared at each other for a while. Jiang Yanyu couldn't help but speak first, "What do you want to do now? You can't hug me, you can't touch me, you can't talk to me. Are you going to be a stranger living under the same roof with me?"
"That's not the case," Luo Qinglin touched his earlobe and coughed lightly, "I can still talk. Don't hug me all the time. I'm nervous and scared."
When Jiang Yanyu heard that he couldn't hug her, he became unhappy immediately. He took a step forward and was determined to break the "rules" set by Luo Qinglin.
But as soon as he got closer, Luo Qinglin was like a bird flapping its wings in the water. He was so scared that he wanted to curl up his body and crawl out from under his arm.
"Okay, I won't hug you," Jiang Yanyu sighed heavily, holding Luo Qinglin's arm, and asked in compromise, "What about holding hands? Holding hands is not okay?"
"Holding hands..."
Luo Qinglin wanted to say no, but when he saw Jiang Yanyu's frown, he couldn't bear it.
"Okay." Luo Qinglin curled up his fingers and stretched his hand towards Jiang Yanyu.
Jiang Yanyu glared at Luo Qinglin, grabbed his hand, interlocked their fingers, and pulled him out the door.
"Troublesome," Jiang Yanyu said angrily, dissatisfied, "You slept until ten o'clock and didn't get up, lazy worm, the breakfast is getting cold."
Luo Qinglin turned his head away, unable to suppress his pounding heart, and held Jiang Yanyu's hand back, muttering softly: "I am the trouble."
The author has something to say:
Jiang Yanyu: Damn it, I just shot myself in the foot, now I can’t kiss or hug you (lights a cigarette)
Luo Qinglin: Beware of vixen! (stare)
