Chapter 19 Who knew he was a pure love puppy
Yunlou Office.
Yun Lou glanced at the dark circles under Li Xiaogou's eyes and asked casually, "Didn't you sleep well last night?"
"Hmm." Li Xiaogou's Adam's apple rolled under the thin skin, and the tip of his index finger sank into the palm of his palm.
Yunlou noticed his stiffness... and defensiveness. He was puzzled for a moment, but did not ask anything. He was waiting for Li Xiaogou to speak first.
Li Xiaogou was struggling.
He hated Yunlou's control over him for unknown reasons, but if Yunlou had known his parents for a long time, everything might make sense.
Yunlou was a difficult person to get close to. He wasn't good at being friendly. He didn't like Yunlou, and Yunlou probably didn't like him much either. But since joining the team, Yunlou had helped him a lot behind the scenes.
Maybe I should just ask?
Li Xiaogou quickly dismissed the idea.
[Someone is watching me in the dark.]—He remembered this sentence written in his original diary.
Before this, the original body had just witnessed the meeting between his parents and Yunlou. And after this, the original body was poisoned to death.
Yunlou and even the entire group are highly suspicious.
The atmosphere was stagnant and the air was so thick that it could not be dissolved.
Yunlou finally finished signing a stack of documents. He seemed to sigh softly. When Li Xiaogou looked up, he had returned to normal.
"I called you over today because I wanted to talk to you, but you probably won't speak."
Li Xiaogou's eyes flashed. Could it be that Yunlou already knew everything?
"Yeah, I know everything."
He handed a document to Li Xiaogou, "This is the toxicology test report of the medicine you gave to Jiang Mu."
"It's highly toxic. The ingredients are slightly different, but it can be determined to be a special poison made by the organization."
"Why does the organization want to kill you? Do you have any idea?"
Li Xiaogou tightened his fingers around the document and looked towards Yunlou.
The man didn't look anxious, nor did he seem guilty.
The superior calmly analyzed the situation for him: "Perhaps the organization discovered your special abilities through some channel. Or perhaps, they simply want to use your celebrity status to their advantage and kill you to replace you."
"What should I do next?" Li Xiaogou asked tentatively.
"I have requested your personal protection from my superiors. Until then, you will be temporarily suspended from your mission."
He looked at Li Xiaogou, a smile flashing in his eyes: "During this period of time, let's make ourselves famous first."
A smile from Yunlou makes life and death unpredictable.
Li Xiaogou understood it.
There is no need to carry out the mission of capturing people with special abilities, but the itinerary is three times fuller than before!
Three times, outrageous!
Li Xiaogou sat on the sofa and carefully read the 597 itinerary under the light.
He will get up at 4 o'clock tomorrow and take a car to the film and television city. After arriving at 5 o'clock, he will start to put on makeup. There will be an interview at 7 o'clock and the opening ceremony at 9 o'clock. He has to change into two sets of clothes, one for walking on the red carpet and one for attending the press conference.
The press conference ended at 11 o'clock and the filming of the movie officially began - he had 5 hours to memorize all the procedures of the press conference and tomorrow's lines.
Damn it! Yunlou must be the one who wants to kill him!
The next day, Li Xiaogou, who hadn't slept well for two consecutive days, floated into the nanny car with huge dark circles under his eyes.
"Good morning, big star." The round-faced driver turned around and said, "Fuck, who hit you in the eye?"
…
"Tao Qi?"
Tao Qi threw him a pancake and said, "Captain Yun said that until your protection is in place, I will be your driver."
"Let's go pick up Mo Shang first. He's selling pancakes at the entrance of the community."
The two of them made a big circle and met Mo Shang who was making pancakes at the entrance of the community.
Mo Shang cut his way through the encirclement of his grandparents, untied his apron, jumped into the car, and greeted with a smile: "Hi, Resource Guy, good morning."
"..." Li Xiaogou glanced at the grandparents, who were all drooping. "Isn't the Special Investigation Bureau involved in anti-corruption efforts? The babysitting car is actually a Mercedes-Benz."
"You are so beautiful! Only directors have cars. This is the Yun family's private car."
"Ahem." Li Xiaogou nearly became the first celebrity to choke to death on a Jianbing Guozi. With tears in his eyes, he asked Mo Shang, "Is this movie also funded by the Yun family?"
"Smart." Mo Shang pulled out a suit from the back seat like a magician, put it on, and put on gold-rimmed glasses. At first glance, he looked like a vampire agent. He smiled, "Although you are currently a small-time star thanks to my management and your own plague-like physique, your past works are limited to 'Runaway Baby' and a buried fairy tale drama. There is no way you can compare to Director Xiao Chang's film team."
Li Xiaogou hasn't had time to delve into the world's popular movies and dramas, but he knows the name Xiao Chang.
He is currently the only major film director in China who takes both artistic and commercial aspects into consideration. Not only has he won all three major international titles, but he also won the box office championship last year and the year before.
The original body really couldn't even imagine such resources.
Thinking of the words in the diary, the pancake in his hand lost its taste. Li Xiaogou propped up his chin and looked at the rapidly receding scenery outside the window, curling up the corners of his lips in self-mockery.
Those who want to make a good film cannot get into the group, but those who have capital can do so easily.
"Don't worry. This movie is a bold attempt by Director Xiao Chang. You've read the script. The subject matter is niche and the cost is high. Without Yunlou's investment, it wouldn't have been possible. He only cast an insignificant supporting role, which is already a bit of a clean slate."
The subject matter of "Setting Sun" is indeed not a popular one among the general public. It tells the story of a disabled child from a rural area who goes through many hardships and eventually becomes a Paralympic champion.
Li Xiaogou plays the male protagonist's elementary school teacher. She doesn't have many scenes, but she is like the white moonlight that encourages the male protagonist to embark on this path.
It's a very good character.
"Rather than accumulating achievements, the bureau wants me to be popular, right? I was cast in 'Setting Sun' to play this role, and no one online scolded me?"
When it comes to data, Mo Shang is the most authoritative.
He pushed his glasses up and said with a smile, "You've never searched for yourself online, have you? You have a great image now. Netizens are watching the fun and looking forward to your joining the team every day."
Li Xiaogou pointed at himself: "Me?"
"Why?"
Tao Qi quickly answered: "I know this!"
“They want to eat melons too!”
“…”
Tao Qi: "Your nickname has evolved from the domestic entertainment judge to the anti-North Korean warrior. Netizens say that the domestic entertainment industry can no longer contain you, and your business has expanded to North Korean entertainment."
Mo Shang agreed with a smile: "They even compiled a collection of your stories about how you were annoying the crew and posted it on X. You have quite a few fans abroad now."
Li Xiaogou began to doubt his life: "How can a film that causes such trouble to the crew be well-received by the general public?"
Tao Qi: "I know the answer to this question!"
"I'm surprisingly smart today."
"You may be a plague, but you've removed the cancer of the entertainment industry. Everyone says the entertainment industry is now clear and the air quality has improved dramatically."
Mo Shang added: "You have already been approached to endorse an air purifier. I am applying to the bureau for approval."
Li Xiaogou: ...
Mo Shang frowned. "But I have to remind you that the protagonist of 'Setting Sun', Bai Quan, is a former generation's king of bullying. He has always been a rebellious and arrogant person in the circle, criticizing countless bad phenomena."
"What does this have to do with me?" Li Xiaogou grumbled dissatisfiedly, "What's the term 'previous generation's king'? I doubt you're hinting at something."
"I'm making it clear that he doesn't like you because you've taken away his personality." Mo Shang moved his butt away from Li Xiaogou. "The new generation of the King of Bullying."
…
The King of Force? Is he pretentious?
The car window mirror reflected his slightly confused face. He poked the corner of his naturally downturned lips with his index finger, and raised it up slightly, while his eyes also curved at the same time.
…
never mind.
So perverted, I feel like he's going to stab someone in the next second.
Mo Shang is worthy of being called the working emperor. As soon as he got out of the car, he completely immersed himself in the role of an agent. He arranged Li Xiaogou's schedule properly and even took the time to bring him a cup of coffee.
The red carpet starts on time at 9 o'clock.
It wasn’t so much a red carpet as it was the first look at the character.
He was wearing black trousers and a white shirt, with his sleeves rolled up to his wrists. Behind his black-framed glasses were clear eyes, and his black hair covered his forehead. When his hair was blown by the wind, the man smiled shyly.
The shutter sounds suddenly became continuous.
"This kid has some acting skills." Tao Qi squatted beside the car and screamed in a strange voice with Li Xiaogou's fans. "After he joined the group, I went out of my way to find his previous dramas to watch."
Mo Shang raised his eyebrows: "How is it?"
"Eye-splitting." Tao Qi searched for the words. "Eyes and eyebrows fly in the sky, a mouth chases on the ground, and each facial feature has its own drama."
"After watching it, I thought, it turns out that even a vase needs acting skills."
The competent vase Li Xiaogou has completely integrated into the role. Even her walking posture is different, and there is a sense of awkwardness in her eyes when she looks at the audience.
"Damn, pretending to be innocent!" Tao Qi said angrily.
Mo Shang rubbed his eardrums, which were stung by the screams that pierced the sky. "It seems that the pretense was very successful."
The fans were excited.
The people at the scene were screaming desperately, and the people in the live broadcast room were almost going crazy.
【Ah ...
[I haven't seen you twice since I became famous. I thought I didn't like fans, but I turned out to be a pure and innocent puppy.]
[So handsome, so handsome! Why didn't I think the puppy was this handsome when I saw him in movies before? He's wearing no makeup today, his skin doesn't even have a pore. ]
The bureau has been helping him build momentum online, but rarely lets him show up in person. He knows he is popular, but today is his first time to have face-to-face contact with his fans.
Li Xiaogou was a little frightened by such enthusiasm.
The smile began to stiffen and the waving became mechanical.
At this moment, the fan who was screaming with a happy expression as if he was about to faint in the next second suddenly widened his eyes and looked at him in horror.
Is his smile really that scary?
"Help, call an ambulance!"
There was a commotion behind me.
Li Xiaogou looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the stage covered with red cloth for the press conference had been knocked out. A group of people gathered together, surrounding one person.
Someone is in trouble.
He ran over.
Baiquan was seen lying on the ground, his limbs twitching and foaming at the mouth.
Epileptic seizure?
"Make way." The medical staff of the crew asked everyone to make way, and Bai Quan was carried onto a stretcher.
As the stretcher passed by him, he met Baiquan's eyes.
[May I ask the host's preference for eating melons: love history/cause of illness. ]
"I didn't say I wanted to eat melon."
[The host wondered in his heart why things had suddenly turned out this way, but the system judged this as gossip.]
“…”
But knowing the cause could save a life.
Pursing his lips, Li Xiaogou said in his heart: "I choose the cause of the disease."
The air in front of Li Xiaogou's eyes was slightly distorted, like transparent ripples spreading out.
Lines of text visible only to him appeared in the air.
The more I read, the more frightening it becomes.
The cause of Baiquan's epilepsy is prion poisoning.
Human flesh is rich in prions.
What Baiquan ate was a human brain.
