Du Yunxiao's fan base is growing rapidly, leaving both him and his company somewhat bewildered.
There was absolutely no behind-the-scenes manipulation, not even any buying of trending topics, so how did some videos about Du Yunxiao suddenly become popular online again?
Even clips from his early film and television career have been unearthed.
That fleeting, breathtaking beauty seemed to automatically transport everyone into the perspective of someone with a secret crush.
After all, he has been in the industry for five years. For many new viewers, this is the first time they have seen this clip. They instantly became fans and started searching for videos and movies related to Du Yunxiao.
Some say it went viral because one of Du Yunxiao's fans made a birthday cake.
There are many fondant figurines of important roles played by Du Yunxiao on the screen, which led to fans rediscovering Du Yunxiao's past film and television works, editing videos, and promoting them.
And recently, Du Yunxiao has frequently appeared on trending topics, mostly for these kinds of roles.
In a short time, not only did Du Yunxiao's fan base grow, but Bai Chi's account also quickly surpassed 100,000 followers.
Even Du Yunxiao paid attention to it, and he paid special attention to it.
He also commented on Bai Chi's first Weibo post, which was also the photo of the birthday cake.
"grateful."
Just two words, and it instantly became a trending topic again.
This clearly shows that Du Yunxiao himself believes that all the popularity he's gained recently comes from this cake.
Only a few people truly understand that, regardless of where the hype comes from, this account and this piece of cake belong to Bai Chi.
Bai Chi joined the film crew as Du Yunxiao's new assistant. He didn't take the nutritionist's job, nor did he take Xiao Ding's.
Du Yunxiao simply had an extra personal assistant who helped him with some trivial matters, arranged his schedule, and most importantly, would brew homemade fruit tea for him.
This fruit tea not only has detoxifying and beautifying functions, but it also tastes great. Especially after a meal, a cup helps to reduce fat and cut through grease, it's simply amazing.
Later, Du Yunxiao's partner got a free cup and then started ordering custom fruit tea from Bai Chi, which wasn't cheap.
Bai Chi was naturally happy to earn some extra money. He didn't really want to be a freeloader forever. In addition to developing his own customized fruit tea business, he also planned to invest in making money.
This was no challenge for Bai Chi, especially with Xiao Hei helping him analyze the data.
Compared to Du Yunxiao and Bai Chi's honeymoon-like trip, Yan Ruyu's life was not so easy.
Bai Chi remembered him half a month after Du Yunxiao joined the crew.
Bai Chi met his agent, Sister Zhao, for the first time.
For the past two weeks, Bai Chi followed Du Yunxiao to the film crew and became a familiar face on set. He ate the weight-loss meals sent by Du Yunxiao's nutritionist and occasionally gave Du Yunxiao extra meals.
Meanwhile, Sister Zhao has been quite busy lately. Due to the popularity of the previous drama, Du Yunxiao's fan base has increased, and with the subsequent buzz generated by a cake, she took the opportunity to secure many endorsements for Du Yunxiao.
Finally, after finishing his busy work, he came with a stack of contracts and met Bai Chi, the woman Du Yunxiao fell in love with at first sight, became devoted to upon second meeting, and ultimately remained inseparable from.
Sister Zhao first observed Du Yunxiao's filming status. This time it was an ancient costume martial arts drama, which was also an ensemble drama. Du Yunxiao was currently filming a fight scene under the guidance of the action director.
A moment later, Sister Zhao looked at Bai Chi beside her.
"Nice to meet you, my name is Zhao Li."
"Hello, Sister Zhao, I'm Bai Chi."
People around them were watching. Although Bai Chi was officially Du Yunxiao's assistant, it was obvious to everyone what kind of relationship the two had.
Especially Du Yunxiao, as soon as there's a scene, he's like a plaster, sticking right to Bai Chi.
If anyone else shows curiosity or interest in Bai Chi, he will simply turn them away with a cold face, no matter who they are.
It's hard for others not to know about this situation, even if they wanted to.
However, there's a saying that goes something like this: in the entertainment industry, you can't expose scandals that involve couples. Unless you catch them 'sleeping', it's all useless.
However, if this evidence were to be disseminated, he would likely be arrested immediately for allegedly disseminating obscene material.
Besides, everyone has a bit of privacy, and even if it's for their own work, they wouldn't go around talking about it.
Moreover, Du Yunxiao's popularity has recently skyrocketed. Anyone with even a little bit of connections knows that Du Yunxiao's popularity has soared recently, without any backing or promotion; it's just so inexplicable.
Anyone could offend someone who is incredibly lucky at this time.
However, this does not include Yan Ruyu.
After noticing the curious stares of those around them, Sister Zhao and Bai Chi temporarily left and went to a nearby coffee shop.
"Xiao Ding is the one I found to take care of Du Yunxiao, you should know that."
Bai Chi nodded with a smile: "I know, Yunxiao told me."
He didn't want to waste any more words.
"I also know that Xiao Ding has been telling you everything about me and Yunxiao. But Sister Zhao, you should have realized that we are all doing this for Yunxiao's own good. He is sincere to me, so naturally I won't ruin him."
Du Yunxiao's career is just starting out. If it were to be revealed that he has a homosexual partner at this time, his career would be ruined.
Although Du Yunxiao has always said that acting is just a profession, he simply takes his job seriously.
But Bai Chi could tell that he was very dedicated when acting; he loved performing and was learning very seriously.
In particular, compared to traffic-driven dramas that can attract fans simply by having good looks, he prefers serious dramas that require more acting skills.
So on the first night the two got together, it was the day Du Yunxiao went to shoot an advertisement and Bai Chi was sleeping at home.
While waiting for Du Yunxiao to come home, he took the initiative to send a message to Sister Zhao.
I will persuade Du Yunxiao to keep our relationship private for now, and to prioritize his career.
The truth is, Bai Chi did sacrifice his back, which should have been resting properly, in order to persuade Du Yunxiao. As a result, he stayed in the hotel for the first three days after arriving at the film set and didn't even leave the house!
Thinking of all this, Bai Chi couldn't help but grit his teeth.
On the other hand, Sister Zhao breathed a sigh of relief.
"I apologize for my previous attitude, but Du Yunxiao's journey has not been easy, so I am very grateful that you have thought of everything so thoroughly."
Their boss disdains to feign compliance with big capital and would never allow his artists to engage in dirty deals, so their resources aren't considered very good.
Therefore, it is not so easy for the artists under its management to become famous, including Du Yunxiao.
He's arguably the most successful young actor in the company over the years, largely due to his good looks, which is why the company is quite protective of him.
Sister Zhao gave a brief explanation, then took out her phone and showed Bai Chi a video.
She is as beautiful as jade.
It was Yan Ruyu smashing things up in the hotel, and there were also sounds of her cursing Bai Chi.
