Chapter 35 Chapter 35 Lou Ye's face was gloomy: "It's really a fight...
"Brother Lou, this endorsement we've received is quite prestigious. This brand has previously only approached big names in the industry."
Geng Zhao whispered, "It must be because of your previous drama 'A Sword in Frost' that aired, and the recent promotional campaign for your film 'Cold Sun' has been going on, with audiences clamoring for it. The brand is attracted by the popularity and traffic."
Geng Zhao made a thorough analysis and watched Lou Ye take off the high-end bracelets and rings on his hands and the branded ready-made clothes.
"The main thing is that you just dropped in without any pre-launch support. Now the jealous people in the industry are going to throw mud at you again."
Lou Ye: “Yeah.”
Geng Zhao sighed, "When Brother Lou was still unknown, no one paid attention to him. Now that he's famous, all the negative comments are coming at him."
He checked his Weibo data and continued, "But Xiaoyerong and his team have done a pretty good job controlling the comments, and a lot of the negative ones have been suppressed. The collaboration endorsement just announced yesterday has almost 20 million likes. I'll share some of the daily footage I shot earlier as a bonus."
Lou Ye: “Yeah.”
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Lou. Your cooperation was perfect." The photographer came over to shake hands.
He rarely sees young popular stars who are so humble. They shoot for seven or eight hours without feeling tired at all.
Lou Ye smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, everyone. I just asked my assistant to buy some hot drinks and put them in the tea room. Remember to drink them."
Geng Zhao packed up his belongings and left the studio with Lou Ye.
"Brother Lou, Young Master Ming and the others are on winter vacation now, right? I heard him say before that he was coming to see you, but he didn't show up in Jing City." Geng Zhao blew on his glasses, wiped them with his sleeves, and said casually.
Lou Ye, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and turned around: "Did he look for you?"
"Ah, no. It's strange. Master Ming used to ask me about you, but I don't know what happened recently and he hasn't contacted me."
Geng Zhao held the black luggage bag, his slow-witted head turning around, not noticing Lou Ye's expression: "Brother Lou, Master Ming must have forgotten about you."
He always stood by his artist, but he immediately turned against Ming Le: "He must still be a child, looking for something new. When he likes you, he'll cling to you all day, but when he doesn't like you anymore, he'll turn around and change his attitude."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Lou Ye's voice was cold.
Geng Zhao looked up and saw Lou Ye's unhappy expression and stammered, "I, I didn't say anything. I'm going home now that I'm done with the work today, Brother Lou!"
What a scary look.
Lou Ye suppressed the uncomfortable feeling in his heart. He had asked Ming Le out three times in half a month but Ming Le failed to show up.
Mingle said that his family had hired a tutor. He thought that Mingle could come to him with his high school homework and he could teach Mingle, but he was rejected.
However, he had never seen Mingle so active in studying before. He always studied when he should study and played when he should play.
Now that you have a holiday, why are you working so hard?
Mingle treated his elder brother as his elder brother and her liking for him was obvious, but he had never thought about it from the perspective that Geng Zhao mentioned.
When he got home, it was not too late. Lou Ye put away his bag and took out his cell phone to call someone.
The phone rang for almost a minute and no one answered, so Lou Ye hung up.
[Lou Ye: I'm free these few days, can I take you out?]
The room was eerily quiet, and there was no message on the phone.
Lou Ye ignored it impatiently and went into the bathroom. He came out after more than ten minutes and changed his clothes.
The phone buzzed twice and he walked over to open it.
Mingle: I'm busy lately, Brother Louye, you should just focus on your work.
After Lou Ye saw the content clearly, his already ugly expression became even gloomier. His protruding Adam's apple rolled twice, and his throat felt a little sour.
He is not a machine that works non-stop, so how could he have so much work to do every day?
Before I could figure out how to reply to him, Ming Le's message came again, and this time his words were even more annoying.
[I'm also very busy, so Brother Louye doesn't need to contact me~]
The young master had a unique tone, soft and obedient, but the words he spoke were like sharp spikes that pierced into one's heart, stirring it wildly inside, making it bloody and mangled.
Lou Ye's eyes were red, his chest was heaving, and his hands were trembling slightly as he typed.
【Um. 】
Is this really what Geng Zhao meant? It's no longer new, she's tired of it, so she starts to ignore him?
Lou Ye sat on the sofa in a daze.
He didn't know how long it was, but the phone rang several times before he reacted and pressed the answer button.
"Okay, I understand."
He stood up, rubbed his sore and tired eyes, took the key and went out.
He took a taxi directly to Tiansheng. The receptionist in the lobby now knew him and nodded before letting him in.
Lou Ye pressed the elevator button and replied to his agent.
【Brother Chen, I'm at the company. 】
After getting out of the elevator, Lou Ye was about to enter Chen Si's office when he bumped into a tall man with handsome features wearing a navy blue striped suit.
The other person looked him over and said, "Xiaolou, right? Come in quickly. Chen Si has been waiting for you for a while."
Lou Ye had never seen this man before, but judging by his age and the way he was dressed, he guessed his identity in almost a second: "Mr. Shu."
Shu Yuquan nodded and left without saying much. He smacked his lips and thought that his nephew had really good taste. This boy's appearance and temperament were quite attractive.
Lou Ye watched the man press the elevator button, then he turned around, walked to the office and knocked on the door.
"Come in."
Lou Ye pushed the door open and walked in. Chen Si was sitting at his desk wearing glasses. His phoenix eyes were very charming, and his usually meticulous shirt was actually a little wrinkled.
Lou Ye glanced over and saw a folded cobalt blue tie on the slightly messy desk...
"Xiaolou." Chen Si shouted.
Lou Ye came back to his senses: "Yeah."
Chen Si straightened his collar, stood up and said, "I've got the book for you. Take a look. If you don't like it, there are other options."
With Lou Ye's current status and popularity, as well as his good acting skills, he has a lot of scripts to choose from and can choose according to his own preferences.
However, from a market perspective, he still tends to choose what the audience likes to watch for Lou Ye.
After all, it is still in the development stage. It is better to work hard and wait until it settles down.
"The military drama you recently finished filming, as well as your previous police roles, both had very strong character designs. This time, you can try a more challenging and complex role."
Lou Ye looked through the information and found that it was a drama about a male protagonist’s conspiracy. The characters were very eye-catching, the plot rhythm was very exciting, and the director team was also very good.
He looked at several other documents and Lou Ye chose the first book on political intrigue.
"But you know these big directors are very rigorous. You'll have to go for the interview yourself when the time comes. It should still be a while before filming starts. Anyway, you haven't had a good rest since you came to Tiansheng. Don't take on new work recently. You can't bite off more than you can chew. Just do the best you have and study this script carefully."
Lou Ye nodded: "I understand, thank you Brother Chen."
Chen Si smiled and said warmly, "You are too polite."
He was very optimistic about Lou Ye from the beginning and felt that this young man was worth training. His goal was to make Lou Ye a top male star within three years.
But he didn't expect that this kid was so competitive. He was given the role of the second male lead and became famous for his acting skills and good looks in the TV series "One Sword of Frost".
The show was a hit, and so were the people.
And to be honest, apart from those introduced by Young Master Ming, the company initially only planned to give him a few scripts to test his commercial value.
But since Lou Ye's first drama, most of the subsequent scripts have come to him on his own initiative, and the company didn't put much effort into it.
"That's great. Just focus on filming. I don't think the young master will bother you anymore. Just focus on your work." Chen Si patted his shoulder and said.
He had been worried that the two of them might develop some feelings for each other, but now it seemed that he had been overthinking it.
Lou Ye opened his slightly drooping eyelids and asked with some difficulty: "Will you not harass me?"
Chen Si turned around without noticing his expression and said leisurely, "I saw him visit you on set earlier. He's been coming to the company for the past two weeks and even came early this morning. He's in the office next door."
"All the artists in our company are happy to play with him. Every day they can't wait to serve him personally. Snacks, milk tea and fruits are so abundant that we can't even finish them all."
Lou Ye's head was buzzing and he could no longer hear what Chen Si was saying.
"But this is the best. Let me be honest. If he doesn't bother you anymore, you can focus on your career and it will be good for your future development."
Lou Ye clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and walked out without looking back.
Chen Si was a little dazed when he saw that his face had turned pale and he opened the door and left without even saying hello.
He treated Lou Ye as his own, so what did he say wrong?
…
"Boss, that's enough, are you really planning on keeping an eye on me for the entire winter break?"
God knows how much willpower he had to refuse Lou Ye's invitation to go out just now, but Ming Che kept staring at him and sending him messages, treating him like a criminal.
Ming Le shook his calves and said bitterly that he had no appetite for his usual snacks and fried chicken and French fries placed on the table.
These were bribes Mingche used to keep an eye on him, and he didn't want to accept them.
"I've been extremely busy lately, so just be happy that I can spare some time to look after you. If you're too bored, you can go to the warehouse and pack albums for me, and you can save on labor costs." He asked with a smirk on his face.
Ming Le's face was tense. He poked the fried chicken with a chopstick. The crispy outside and tender inside of the chicken ooze out juice. "You bastard!"
Who wants to package his album? His singing is so terrible. He should just quit the circle and go back to inherit the company. People are staring at him all day long.
If his brother wasn't really going to bully Lou Ye when he got angry, he wouldn't want to obey at all.
"Brother, if I listen to you, you won't cause trouble for Lou Ye, okay?" Ming Le tugged at his sleeve with a pleading look.
"It's not easy for Lou Ye, an outsider, to come to Beijing and make a living. You don't know how poor his living conditions were before, and he often ate instant noodles and fast food... He's been very good to me, so please don't bother him, okay? I beg you."
Ming Le said that he was heartbroken, and crystal tears slid across his fair face. He rubbed his sore eyes and buried his head to stop himself from crying out loud, but his thin shoulders kept shaking uncontrollably.
Mingche couldn't understand, how could that man be so easily bewitched by his brother?
Still crying for him?
Mingche had a heart of stone, but when he saw his brother crying like this, his heart softened.
"Alright, alright, I'm afraid of you, so I won't look for him. It's so annoying!" Ming Che randomly pulled out a few tissues and smeared them on his face.
Ming Le raised his face, his eyelids red: "Keep your word." He choked a few times, "Wipe it for me."
"Okay, okay, eat quickly. If you wait until you get home tonight to eat, you'll be so hungry that you'll faint." Ming Che carefully wiped the tears from his face, put on disposable gloves, tore the fried chicken into strips and fed them to his mouth.
Mingle opened his mouth and ate with peace of mind, letting him serve him.
"Then I won't accompany you tomorrow, okay? I have things to do myself." Ming Le said more and more demandingly.
If he had known that crying would soften the boss's heart, he would have started crying at the beginning.
But this time he did it by accident, and he couldn't help it because he felt sorry for Lou Ye.
If Mingche knew what his adopted brother was thinking, he would probably smear greasy fried chicken all over his face.
"I know, I know. Just don't forget the curfew every night!"
Mingle nodded and commanded, "I want to eat the meat from the chicken leg."
"You're so hard to please. Don't you have hands? It's so annoying!" Although he said that, he still resigned himself to his fate and wiped Mingle's mouth after he finished eating.
Mingle pushed him away: "Oh, I need to go to the bathroom."
He stood up, glanced around and froze in place. The office door was open. He rubbed his eyes and saw Lou Ye standing at the door with a gloomy face.
"I'm sorry to bother you, Young Master Ming." Lou Ye sneered.
