Day 27
Fu Xunyan left the office and followed the staff to the filming studio in another building.
There were already people waiting inside, all of them were acquaintances, Zhou Hengyu, Ye Lai and Kenny.
When Zhou Hengyu saw him, his face was already ugly, as if Fu Xunyan had some infectious disease. He avoided him from a distance and stood with Kenny.
Ye Lai frowned as he looked at Zhou Hengyu, his eyes almost saying "Is there something wrong with you?"
The staff member next to him directed, "Today we have two Chinese inserts, one is yogurt and the other is laundry detergent."
“Does the advertiser have a designated person?”
The intern was about to open his mouth when the assistant next to him quickly stopped him and whispered in the ear of the advertising team leader for a while.
"How do we do this?" the advertising team leader looked at this in a dilemma. "He can't possibly shoot two of them at once, right?"
Anyone who is not narcissistic to the point of dementia can understand that this "he" is Fu Xunyan. However, people like Zhou Hengyu still have a subtle hope that it is themselves.
Faced with the situation of being ridiculed by the public for his failure in the first public performance, he and his agent have already discussed countermeasures.
Let parents go on a very popular variety show, and then formally introduce their family background in the variety show to create the image of the strongest second-generation star.
Today's star-chasing girls all like those with good family backgrounds. They will subconsciously glorify the second generation of stars and the second generation of rich people, thinking that they have high taste, good aesthetics, good family education, and may even know multiple languages and have high emotional intelligence.
Well, while there are people like that, Zhou Hengyu certainly doesn't belong to that category. He's just a spoiled, handsome little boy who doesn't have any real talent, even if he's not crooked.
No matter what, as long as this matter is exposed, everyone will definitely change their opinion of him and will no longer focus on his first public performance that exceeded the budget and failed.
But that variety show airs on Tuesday, and today is only Saturday, so soon?
But he was disappointed. The advertising team leader walked up to the four of them and said, "How about this? You two will shoot one scene each. Fu Xunyan, you can come back next week during the mid-term break. If the advertiser insists on having you, you can shoot another scene."
After he finished speaking, he took a few steps back and looked at their faces. "Kenny and Fu Xunyan, Ye Lai and Zhou Hengyu?"
"No." Zhou Hengyu was secretly angry again and didn't even pretend. "Teacher, please, Kenny and I will do it."
He doesn't want to be with Ye Lai. This guy didn't obey the company's arrangement to take him with him!
The head of the advertising team was about to ask why, but when he thought about who the boy's parents were, he immediately shut up and said, "Okay, okay, he can be with whoever he wants. The other three don't object anyway."
Of course I don't object. It doesn't matter to Fu Xunyan who he is with. He will complete his job well.
Ye Lai sneered, but he couldn't ignore the strange feeling rising in his heart, completely forgetting that he was a little jealous of Fu Xunyan in the gym just now.
Kenny…his opinion doesn't matter.
It's sad to say, Kenny's popularity has always been very high, hovering around 5th to 6th place, but because he doesn't communicate well with everyone, his presence is weak.
Originally, his fans wanted to get out of the circle by marketing his face, but Fu Xunyan's more orthodox face that pokes fun at the sexual fetishes of Chinese people was there, and Kenny's pretty boy face looked low-class next to it.
As for marketing ability, this guy is indeed good at singing and dancing, but he is completely overshadowed by Fu Xunyan.
What bad luck.
Fu Xunyan has never spoken to Kenny, but to say that he sympathizes with him - not at all.
Fu Xunyan, who returned from the future to the present, knew exactly what kind of person Kenny was. He appeared to be a pure and handsome man, but in fact he was a playboy. Although he had not broken any law, this guy who betrayed the trust of his fans still made Fu Xunyan feel very uncomfortable.
It is better to cooperate with Ye Lai. After all, Ye Lai is capable and highly self-disciplined.
"Really? What did you say?" Ye Lai doubted his ears.
"I said I would rather cooperate with you." Fu Xunyan repeated, "What's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly absent-minded?"
"No, wait, 'also'?"
Fu Xunyan really didn't understand what Ye Lai was doing. "Yeah, didn't you just say you wanted to take a photo with me?"
"When did I..." Ye Lai's eyes suddenly widened slowly, completely losing his usual calmness.
He seemed to have just spoken to himself, speaking out his true feelings...
"Hey, hey, hey, I didn't say anything. Don't make up your own mind!" Ye Lai shouted immediately, and then suddenly realized why he was so panicked. What if he said it?
Why does it seem like every time I run into Fu Xunyan, I fall into some kind of self-proving trap? Does he have some kind of built-in buff? Damn...
Fu Xunyan didn't understand why Ye Lai suddenly became like a hedgehog, but as he watched Ye Lai's cheeks slowly turn red, he became thoughtful.
He's still a little kid... Although he seems extremely competitive, how can a boy of this age be so mature that he can completely ignore the loneliness that follows him like a shadow?
Whether in his previous life or up to this time, Ye Lai seemed to have been struggling alone.
To the extent that some of his haters used to scold him, saying that he had no team spirit at all, that he treated everyone as an imaginary enemy, that the brotherhood on the surface was fake, and that he was actually a scheming bitch.
But Fu Xunyan doesn't think so.
Ye Lai couldn't get close to people in the same company because he didn't approve of Zhou Hengyu and Shao Ruzhou's character, and he couldn't get close to others because in the eyes of others, he must have been in a clique with people in the same company.
Plus, he is a big star, so no one dares to take advantage of his popularity.
Ye Lai was unfortunately forced to "isolate others".
However, Ye Lai is only 20 years old after all, three months younger than herself. Although she seems calm because of her debut, she was once the youngest in the group.
Ye Lai was trying to come to terms with himself, regretting the embarrassment he had just suffered, and then trying to convince himself that it was nothing, just a word... until a warm hand touched his head.
Ye Lai turned his head in shock and met those bright eyes.
"Okay, I really want to take a photo with you. After all, you are my top choice for looks."
Huh? Caught off guard by Fu Xunyan's thunderbolt, Ye Lai was unable to catch his breath again.
Talent shows naturally require some mutual voting and ranking among trainees. This time, "New Century" also had three, namely "Who do you think is the most beautiful?", "I would like him if I were a girl" and "I would like him if he were a girl".
The vote was cast after the first public meeting ended last night. Everyone was embarrassed to discuss this the next day, but Fu Xunyan revealed the truth without any hesitation.
"Why? Why vote for me?" Ye Lai really didn't understand. There were many handsome guys in "New Century", especially the group surrounding Fu Xunyan. Logically speaking, he had no reason to vote for himself.
"Ah? Is it not okay if I simply think you are handsome?" Fu Xunyan pretended to be surprised.
"You have good taste."
This time Ye Lai's ears turned completely red.
Fu Xunyan watched him escape from the scene, and felt a little sorry. If he was still that innocent age, he would have said to Ye Lai with confidence, "Because you are handsome." But he was not like that. He was already 27 years old.
He also lied, and his reasons were not pure.
The questions asked by the program team were too leading.
Things like "If I were a girl I would like it" and "If he were a girl I would like it" simply have the words "I want to hype up their relationship" printed on their faces.
So the first question also cannot escape the fate of being sugar-coated.
But Fu Xunyan didn't want the answer to become so complicated or utilitarian.
He intended to choose himself directly, but was rejected.
They signaled him with their eyes to choose Da Pei, Chen Chi or Yin Xingheng.
But he didn't want to. He didn't want his friends to become the topic of discussion manipulated by the program crew, because once they both realized that "we are hyping up a couple", any friendship would deteriorate.
He had witnessed such an ending with his own eyes. They were as close as a pair during the game, and the relationship between the brothers was very touching. However, after the game, they fell apart because of a small bit of profit, and their fans wailed.
The audience can imagine, but they themselves cannot make some seemingly plausible actions to guide such imagination.
They can joke around and play pranks on each other like little boys, but they can't continue to do so while realizing that they are hyping up their relationship.
The human heart cannot stand the test. Even if everyone is 99% sincere at this moment, once they reach a fork in the road, either party will doubt whether the past was a complete lie.
This is why true friendships in the entertainment industry are less known to the audience. Friendship needs to be protected rather than promoted. Friendship under the spotlight will sooner or later rot.
At the same time, he cannot cast this vote randomly, because once he casts it, it will give the program team a handle to hype it up, and he cannot just put someone in the spotlight.
In this dilemma, Fu Xunyan's best choice is Ye Lai. There is no reason, the reason is that he is really handsome in his heart.
Ah? You want to ask who is the most handsome? Well, there is no way to choose. People have different tastes, and there are many faces that meet their standards. It is impossible to say who is the most handsome.
…
If he had to give another reason, it was that he hoped his recognition would make Ye Lai realize that he regarded him as an opponent.
They could have a healthy competitive relationship, an ideal, completely honest one, without any off-field tactics involved. He respected Ye Lai, admired his abilities, and wanted to compete with him.
Humans are social animals, constantly evolving. Even if they were to repeat themselves ten or twenty times, they would still find new surprises and touching experiences in a life that seems identical but is actually different.
Since that day when he saw the fans waiting for him, Fu Xunyan has been thinking about it. As the moment of touching was prolonged, he drew strength from it to keep moving forward.
Isn’t that how people are? Something that may seem meaningless to others, or even to the person themselves, can always yield the desired value if we translate and interpret it with purpose.
This is the genius of human beings.
We live and evolve based on this nature and instinct.
Fu Xunyan should be more honest. His goal now is to make his debut.
He wants to be an idol who can be trusted, always bright, always positive, always able to provide guidance like a guiding star, and always the pride of his fans.
So, he wanted to make his debut and have a greater influence.
For this reason, there must be a competitive relationship between him and Ye Lai. At the same time, he does not want this competition to hurt Ye Lai. He must make him understand that they can become rivals who appreciate and recognize each other.
