June 8, 2 pm
The venue for the press conference had already been set up, and when Du Yuanzhe arrived backstage, Yang Shiyao and others were already there.
He said hello to a few people and went into the dressing room to change into his costumes. He also had to put on a wig. He hadn't worn this thing for a few months, and when he put it on again today, he suddenly felt uncomfortable. I don't know how those actors who often perform in costume dramas can bear it.
Yang Shiyao and the others had already finished their makeup and were sitting together in the waiting room talking.
Seeing Du Yuanzhe come in after changing into his clothes, Yang Shiyao asked, "Yuanzhe, I heard that you were blocked by fans yesterday?"
Du Yuanzhe sat on the sofa next to him and said, "I wanted to tell fans that there would be a press conference today, but I didn't expect to reveal my location."
Zheng Xiao smiled and said, "Yuanzhe, you have to be more cautious in the future. It's best not to post real-time photos. Even if you want to post them, you have to wait until you leave that place. Fans are more observant than each other. They can dig out a lot of things with just a little clue."
You Yingxue echoed, "When I was with Chen Lang, I didn't intend to announce it so quickly, but because I wasn't careful enough, it was exposed by fans."
Yang Shiyao also seemed to share the same sentiment.
Du Yuanzhe said: "I will pay attention in the future."
He was careless this time. There are many things to pay attention to in the entertainment industry. For celebrities, it is very important to hide their whereabouts. No one can be sure whether they have those crazy fans.
In recent years, few people have done such a stupid thing as Du Yuanzhe, exposing his own position.
Although they haven't seen each other for a few months, they still had a good relationship when filming. They were chatting and laughing at this time, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
Around three o'clock, Wang Ligang walked in.
"Seeing your costumes, I felt like I was back on the set."
Du Yuanzhe looked at Wang Ligang, who was wearing long pants and a short-sleeved shirt, and joked, "Director Wang, it's too awkward for you to stand with us. We should get you a costume to wear."
Yang Shiyao said: "Also the hair is not right, Director Wang should wear a wig."
Wang Ligang glared at the two of them and said, "Don't think I don't know what you are up to. Fans want to see you handsome men and beautiful women. Even if I wear something that looks like a flower, no one will care."
Du Yuanzhe shook his head: "Director Wang is wrong. If Director Wang can really dress like a flower, I guarantee that you will be the most beautiful one at the press conference."
Hearing this, several people laughed.
"Don't be poor!"
Wang Ligang said, "The audience is all here. The trailer is playing on the stage. The host will let us go on stage soon. Let's go and wait together."
Several people followed Wang Ligang through the backstage and came to the steps to wait to go on stage.
There were two hosts on the stage, one male and one female. They were TV hosts. "The Legend of Yun Lan" had already been scheduled to be broadcast on satellite TV, so the press conference was hosted by TV hosts today.
After a brief warm-up, the host Wang Chen said, "Let's invite the director and a few leading actors to come on stage."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was warm applause and cheers from the audience.
Du Yuanzhe followed the others onto the stage, following a strict order of priority: after the director came Yang Shiyao, and Du Yuanzhe was in front of You Yingxue.
Two hosts stood on either side of the five people. Host Yang Jing said, "You all heard the enthusiastic applause. Fans have been looking forward to your appearance."
Yang Shiyao smiled and said, "Thank you, everyone."
As soon as she opened her mouth, the fans in the audience cheered again.
Wang Chen said, "I have hosted Shi Yao's TV series press conference before. Your popularity was very high back then, but I didn't expect it to be even higher now."
Du Yuanzhe deliberately glanced at the audience. He estimated that half of the audience were fans of Yang Shiyao. This was the status of a first-tier actress. Yang Shiyao had already secured her position as a first-tier actress. Whether in terms of popularity or status, she was unmatched by Du Yuanzhe and others.
Yang Shiyao said: "I am very grateful for the support of fans, and I will repay everyone with better works in the future."
Wang Chen: "Shiyao is still so humble."
Yang Jing continued, "Shi Yao said something wrong. There is no need to wait for the return. There is a good work about to be broadcast. I believe that fans must be looking forward to it after watching the trailer just now, right?"
The host naturally brought the topic back to the drama "The Legend of Yun Lan".
"right!"
The fans answered loudly.
Wang Chen followed suit and said, "Then let's start with the director. Please introduce yourselves."
Wang Ligang began by saying, "Hello everyone, I am Wang Ligang, the director of "Legend of Yunlan". The actors and I spent five months filming this drama. "Legend of Yunlan" embodies the hard work of all the actors and staff. I hope I will not disappoint everyone."
Yang Shiyao said: "Hello everyone, I am Yang Shiyao, and I play Yun Lan in "The Legend of Yun Lan". She is a girl who is gentle on the outside but strong on the inside, strong and persevering. Although she has suffered setbacks many times, she never loses confidence. She always has justice in her heart and takes it as her mission to destroy the evil cult and protect all living things."
The people below cheered again.
Zheng Xiao said: "Hello everyone, I am Zheng Xiao..."
Before he could continue, cheers broke out from the audience, and then many people shouted his name, and the situation was temporarily out of control.
The atmosphere on the stage was strange for a moment, Wang Chen smiled and said: "There are also many fans of Zheng Xiao here, and they are all happy to see you, but don't worry, our press conference will last for an hour, and the fans can see enough of Zheng Xiao."
Zheng Xiao's eyes darkened, and after the fans calmed down, he continued, "I play the role of Qingyang Zhenren in "The Legend of Yunlan". He cares about all the people in the world and protects the hundreds of millions of people in the Tianjian Sect. Although he likes Yunlan, he chooses to suppress his feelings for her future. Qingyang Zhenren is a person who always thinks about others."
The fans cheered again, and their screams even drowned out the voices of Yang Shiyao's fans.
Without mentioning what the people on the stage were thinking, the self-introductions continued.
Du Yuanzhe said: "Hello, I am Du Yuanzhe, I play the role of Demon Lord Luo Xun in "The Legend of Yunlan". He witnessed his parents' tragic death at the hands of the Demon Cult when he was young, and for revenge he joined the Demon Cult. He does things by any means necessary, and his hands are stained with blood. In the play, Luo Xun is an out-and-out villain, causing a lot of trouble for the righteous sects."
After he finished his introduction, there was a round of cheers from the audience, and many people held up light signs with his name on them. I don't know if yesterday's promotional Weibo post worked, but there were quite a few fans at the press conference today, almost the same number as You Yingxue's fans.
You Yingxue: "Hello everyone. I am You Yingxue, and I play an undercover agent in "The Legend of Yun Lan"..."
After everyone had finished their introductions, Wang Chen chatted with them about their roles and interesting stories about the crew, trying his best to keep the atmosphere lively and avoid embarrassment to the actors and audience.
When it was Du Yuanzhe's turn, Wang Chen asked, "Yuanzhe, Luo Xun's image is completely different from the roles you've played before. Did you take this into consideration when you decided to play the role?"
Du Yuanzhe said: "Of course I have concerns. I am very worried that I will not play this role well and disappoint everyone. I am also afraid of betraying the director's trust. But we are actors. Actors should challenge different roles and cannot always stay in their comfort zone. I have to take this step. I am not thinking of retreating, but redouble my efforts to play this role well."
Wang Chen: "Yuan Zhe said it very well, that's what an actor should be like. I want to ask Director Wang, has Yuan Zhe met your expectations?"
This is a question that the audience is very concerned about, and Wang Chen must ask it.
Wang Ligang affirmed: "He exceeded my expectations. I am very happy to have chosen him to play Luo Xun."
Wang Chen smiled and said, "It seems that Director Wang is very satisfied with Yuan Zhe. Everyone can look forward to Yuan Zhe's performance even more."
"Yuanzhe, what kind of person do you think Luo Xun is?"
Du Yuanzhe said: "First of all, we must make sure that he is not a good person. He has killed countless people in order to practice magic. He is cruel and merciless, and his moods are unpredictable. But at the same time, he loves Yun Lan obsessively. Yun Lan is the last light in his heart. For this light, he can do anything, even if it hurts himself. He does not distinguish between good and evil in his heart, and does things as he pleases. To sum up his life, you will find that Luo Xun is a pathetic, hateful and lamentable person."
Yang Jing said: "It seems that the character of Luo Xun is very complicated. Yuanzhe understands Luo Xun very well. I can't wait to watch the show after hearing this."
Du Yuanzhe smiled and said, "Please tune in at 7:30 pm on July 10th. The Legend of Yunlan will be broadcast on time."
"Hahaha, Yuanzhe is really good at finding the right moment."
Yang Jing looked at the audience and repeated, "Everyone heard it clearly, July 10th at 7:30 pm, everyone remember to watch it on time."
Afterwards, the host asked some questions related to the role and began to question You Yingxue.
After all, the hosts are not reporters. They will not ask tricky questions or set traps for Du Yuanzhe in a subtle way. They are TV hosts, and their goal is to better promote the TV series.
After all, TV stations buy TV series to make money.
However, the host did ask Yang Shiyao and Zheng Xiao about their views on choosing a partner, which was obviously intended to test the two of them, but Yang Shiyao was very evasive and clearly stated that she had no intention of hyping up a couple.
After a round of questions and answers, it was time for the game session.
Wang Ligang asked them to wear costumes today not only to make the audience feel more like the characters, but also to make it easier for them to play games, because the next game will require them to participate as characters.
Wang Chen said: "In order to win Yun Lan's attention, Luo Xun wants to compete with Master Qingyang to prove that he is better than him. The competition item is push-ups."
Du Yuanzhe is too tired to complain. Which genius came up with the idea of doing push-ups in ancient costume?
But he had no choice but to follow the host's instructions.
Du Yuanzhe and Zheng Xiao lay on the ground together and got ready. When the host shouted "start", the two immediately began to do push-ups.
The fans all watched with wide eyes. Since the two men were tall, they thought it would be an evenly matched match, but Zheng Xiao soon lost his composure.
Zheng Xiao was obviously exhausted. After doing just ten push-ups, his arms began to tremble. He fell down during the eleventh push-up and could not get up no matter what. Finally, he had to give up.
Zheng Xiao glanced at Du Yuanzhe who was still working on the side, his eyes flashed with a trace of haze, and he said bitterly: "People always say that staying up late is harmful to your health on the Internet. I didn't think much of it before, but now I really experience it. My physical strength is not as good as when I was in college."
Wang Chen asked: "Does Zheng Xiao often stay up late?"
Zheng Xiao nodded: "It's a bad habit I developed in college. I often don't go to bed until one or two o'clock."
"It's not a good habit."
"Yeah, I'll have to work hard to adjust my schedule from now on."
At this time, Du Yuanzhe had already done thirty push-ups. He didn't expect Zheng Xiao to be so exhausted. He was thinking about how many push-ups to finish. Finally, after doing fifty, Du Yuanzhe pretended to be exhausted and stood up.
Wang Chen smiled and said, "Yuanzhe should exercise regularly, right?"
Du Yuanzhe nodded: "I was working out while filming this drama, and I got used to it later."
"Yuanzhe is very determined. Not everyone can stick to working out every day."
Du Yuanzhe joked: "I was forced to do fitness. I normally don't like meat. My agent asked me to choose between meat and fitness. In fact, I had no choice at all."
"Hahaha, I can understand that feeling. I would rather practice for one more hour than eat one less piece of meat."
Yang Jing asked Yang Shiyao: "Shiyao, are you surprised by this result?"
Yang Shiyao shook her head: "Not surprising. True Man Qingyang has been staying in the Tianjian Sect, just like a homebody. He is definitely not as good as Luo Xun who runs around everywhere."
Yang Jing smiled: "It's Yun Lan's fault. This explanation is very reasonable."
After finishing a few games, an hour passed.
At the end of the press conference, the host asked the four main actors to say a sentence each to promote "Legend of Yun Lan", and then arranged for them to leave the stage. The host also had to say the closing remarks, and then arranged for the fans in the audience to leave in an orderly manner.
After stepping down from the stage, Zheng Xiao left quickly without saying hello to anyone. You Yingxue followed him.
Yang Shiyao whispered, "Zheng Xiao usually looks enthusiastic and cheerful, but he is actually very narrow-minded and cannot stand others being better than him. When filming the drama before, he didn't dare to do anything because of Director Wang's pressure, but it's not necessarily the case now. Be careful when you record the variety show."
Du Yuanzhe nodded: "Thank you, Sister Shiyao, for reminding me."
Back in the RV, Du Yuanzhe said, "Xiaopang, go check what dirt there is on Zheng Xiao. I don't want the fabricated stuff on the Internet. I want the stuff that has some solid evidence."
Xiaopang was stunned and asked, "Brother Zhe, will Zheng Xiao target you?"
"I'm not sure yet. You should prepare first to be prepared."
"good."
Liu Xu said: "I will pay attention to the online comments. I suspect that someone will bring up your resourcefulness again. You don't have many scenes in the trailer, and the trailer alone cannot convince the audience of your acting skills. They will definitely use this to stir up netizens' emotions and attack you."
Du Yuanzhe said nonchalantly: "Everything will be clear after the show airs. Brother Liu, you only need to remember those who cursed others unpleasantly and send them a lawyer's letter. Don't worry about the others."
The lawyer's letter will not be sent out now, otherwise netizens will say that he was angry and embarrassed because his pain point was touched. He will send it out after the drama is broadcast, so that netizens will help Du Yuanzhe to scold those people.
Different timing will lead to different results.
......
After returning home, Du Yuanzhe opened Weibo and saw that the press conference of "Legend of Yun Lan" had become a hot topic, and Liu Xu's guess came true.
The term #杜元哲资源咖# rushed to the top of the hot search list at an extremely fast speed, even surpassing Yang Shiyao's individual hot search. If someone hadn't been playing tricks, he must have eaten the phone.
After a while, this trending search topped the trending search list, which was very irritating to Du Yuanzhe.
Liu Xu called and said, "We have checked it out. It is Zheng Xiao's team who is behind this."
Du Yuanzhe sneered, "It's rude not to reciprocate. Brother Liu, post the video of the two of us doing push-ups, so that the powerful netizens can use their imagination to think about why Zheng Xiao is so vain."
His explanation of staying up late failed to convince netizens.
Liu Xu smiled and said, "I have already let someone do it. Since they are causing such trouble, we must fight back. We can't let others bully us."
Soon, #鄭晓腎虛# became a hot search.
Du Yuanzhe couldn't help laughing when he saw this. Liu Xu was more ruthless. He didn't even hint at anything and directly mocked Zheng Xiao.
Such a prominent hot search quickly attracted a lot of people, and the number of readers continued to increase.
Compared with the issue of Du Yuanzhe being a resource guy, netizens were obviously more concerned about why Zheng Xiao had kidney deficiency. Soon, Zheng Xiao replaced Du Yuanzhe and became the number one on the hot search list.
Entertainment
Bang!
Zheng Xiao threw everything to the ground, and people on Weibo mocked him. Some netizens even made fun of him, saying angrily: "Why don't you suppress the trending searches!"
The agent sighed and said, "It has been suppressed, but the popularity is still rising. I guess it's because Du Yuanzhe's team has taken action."
"Du Yuanzhe!"
Zheng Xiao gritted his teeth.
The agent said, "You shouldn't be so impulsive. You're targeting him before the TV series even airs. If it affects the promotion of the TV series, I'm afraid you'll offend Director Wang."
Zheng Xiao snorted coldly: "I have tolerated him for a long time. Now that the show has been filmed, I don't want to tolerate him anymore. Director Wang won't be angry. The conflict between the two of us will only increase the popularity of the show."
"He wins today. I'll deal with him next time we record a variety show."
The agent frowned: "The show is full of cameras, don't do anything stupid!"
"Don't worry, I know all this, and I will make sure Du Yuanzhe is ruined."
The agent knew that Zheng Xiao was very petty, and would continue to cause trouble if he was not allowed to vent his anger. The company had invested too many resources in him, and if anything happened to Zheng Xiao, the top management would not forgive them.
The agent stopped trying to persuade him and let him vent his anger.
With the support of Huanxing Entertainment, they don't care too much about the Du family behind Du Yuanzhe. As long as they are not caught wrong, the Du family can't do anything to them.
After all, Jiang Chelin would not sit idly by.
Liu Xu soon discovered that the popularity of Du Yuanzhe's black hot search was declining. He tried to suppress the hot search and successfully made the black hot search disappear from the hot search list.
Liu Xu seemed to be thinking about something. It seemed that Zheng Xiao had stopped.
Liu Xu asked Du Yuanzhe: "Zheng Xiao's team has stopped, should we continue?"
Du Yuanzhe said, "Keep going! He doesn't have the final say on when it ends. Let his trending search stay on the trending search list for a few more hours."
Now that we have started, we can't end it easily.
The press conference for "Legend of Yun Lan" was originally a good promotion, because Du Yuanzhe and Zheng Xiao competed on the hot searches, which stole a lot of the press conference's popularity. However, they are both actors in "Legend of Yun Lan", and the two of them took turns to top the hot search list, which made more people know about "Legend of Yun Lan".
So, the crew's goal of promoting the TV series has been achieved. Although the process was unexpected, the result was good, and the crew didn't care about Du Yuanzhe and Zheng Xiao.
Zheng Xiao’s trending searches lasted until the evening, and the team there spent a lot of effort to suppress it.
In fact, Du Yuanzhe did not put in much effort, because Liu Xu discovered that there were other people involved, probably Zheng Xiao's other opponents.
A star like Zheng Xiao, who has the potential to become a first-line actor, has many rivals, and starting today, he and Du Yuanzhe officially become rivals.
Today, the two of them took turns to top the black hot searches. Netizens may just be watching the fun, but fans who are well versed in the entertainment industry can definitely see that the two teams are competing.
Of course, Du Yuanzhe's current number of fans cannot be compared with Zheng Xiao's, but fans will never give up just because they have fewer fans. On the contrary, they will fight harder to prove that they will not lose.
Just like what Zheng Xiao’s fans did when facing Yang Shiyao’s fans before.
......
night
Xia Ningmi came back and said, "The Internet is very lively today."
Du Yuanzhe had already finished cooking and said, "Some people like to pick fights. I can't just stand there and let them hit me."
Xia Ning said: "I can help you collect negative information about Zheng Xiao."
Du Yuanzhe said: "Brother Liu is working on this matter. If you need help, I will definitely not be polite to you."
Xia Ningmi did not insist and said, "Zheng Xiao is narrow-minded and often uses public opinion to ruin the reputation of other male actors. However, this matter can be big or small, and it will not have much impact on him."
Du Yuanzhe said: "I don't want to kill Zheng Xiao with one blow."
Unless Zheng Xiao breaks the law, we can only let him cool down slowly, and we can't kill him with one blow.
Of course, it would be a different matter if Xia Ningmi took action, but Du Yuanzhe felt it was not worth it. He would encounter countless "Zheng Xiao" in the future, and he couldn't let Xia Ningmi deal with them all.
"When is your birthday?"
Xia Ningmi asked suddenly.
Du Yuanzhe was stunned for a moment and said, "June 28th."
"I'm asking you."
Du Yuanzhe said: "Mine is June 28th."
Xia Ning looked at him, a hint of surprise in her eyes.
Du Yuanzhe said: "What a coincidence, right? I suspect this is why I can become Du Yuanzhe. We have the same name, the same birthday, and even the same age."
Xia Ning pursed her lips and asked the question she had always wanted to ask: "Will you go back?"
Du Yuanzhe shook his head: "The me in that world is already dead, and I'm probably just ashes now."
Xia Ningmi breathed a sigh of relief and continued to eat her meal.
Du Yuanzhe smiled and said, "Qiqi, are you planning to celebrate my birthday?"
Xia Ningmi said: "I have never celebrated anyone's birthday."
In her mind, the birthday parties she attended did not count as birthdays.
Du Yuanzhe said: "I am easily satisfied. Even if Qiqi only cooks me a bowl of longevity noodles, I will be happy."
Xia Ningmi seemed to be thinking about something.
It’s just cooking noodles, it shouldn’t be difficult to make.
Xia Ningmi, who had originally made up her mind not to go into the kitchen again, began to waver.
Cheng Yulian, who was still working overtime in the company, sneezed several times.
Yueyue asked concernedly, "Do you have a cold?"
Cheng Yu shook his head: "This is not my cold. I have a bad feeling."
She smiled and said, "Did you lose your money or your door key?"
Cheng Yu would occasionally lose things, and people in the secretariat joked that she had bad luck.
Cheng Yu said: "I think it's more serious than this."
"Don't be suspicious. Go home as soon as you finish these things. I also want to leave work on time like the president."
In the past, Xia Ningmi was with them, but since Xia Ningmi got off work on time, only a few people in the secretariat were left working overtime, and everyone was busy as hell.
Cheng Yu: "The president is already planning to recruit people. He should announce the recruitment soon. Then we will be much more relaxed."
Yueyue pouted: "It's not that easy. Newcomers can't start working right after entering the company. If you want them to help, you probably have to wait for a few months."
"No matter how skilled they are in their work, it will always be easier with more people."
"That's true."
