Chapter 241 The Movie King (Part 12)
After finishing recording the show late at night, the two tidied up and went straight home.
The next morning, the show's official Weibo account released a short promotional video, which featured many scenes of Gu Yanjing.
Even at forty, the handsome young woman remains as beautiful as ever, truly deserving of the title of the entertainment industry's most beautiful woman.
The man next to Qing was also very handsome. Although the two men were walking together, the atmosphere between them was very harmonious, making it obvious at a glance that they were a couple.
Gu Congxin, along with her Tianxin PR department, kept a close eye on the comments and trends on Weibo.
However, the comments under the first video were alright. Most of them praised Gu Yanjing's handsome appearance, and at most said that Gu Yanjing was shameless. It's one thing to go on a show, but he also brought his sugar daddy along. It's as if he's afraid people won't know that he's being kept by someone.
As more and more people started talking about it, it became clear that someone had hired online trolls.
Gu Congxin couldn't manage everyone, and she couldn't just hack all the Weibo accounts, so she could only angrily post twenty orders on **** websites, asking people to hack all the online trolls and accounts that had attacked Gu Yanjing.
Aren't we all just criticizing each other? Come on, let's see who can outdo whom in criticizing.
At noon, the show's official Weibo account posted a second short video. This video was clearly not intended to be censored; it directly featured the conflict between Gu Yanjing, Liu Tingting, and He Zigui, which was very eye-catching.
This instantly caused a huge uproar online.
At that very moment, the official Weibo account of the Chinese central government released three new pieces of information about non-human beings in human society.
The first one is Gu Yanjing, the second is Lu Lingjun, and although I don't recognize the third one, they all look familiar.
Wait a minute, Gu Yanjing?
Is it the Gu Yanjing they're thinking of?
Everyone opened the ID photo, zoomed in, and looked at it carefully, back and forth, dozens of times. Damn, this photo really is Gu Yanjing's.
Furthermore, the official account directly tagged Gu Yanjing's Weibo account.
However, Gu Yanjing's Weibo post didn't respond at all; he completely ignored it.
Attentive netizens also noticed that Lu Lingjun seems to be Gu Yanjing's sugar daddy, the Ice Soul Phoenix.
The official Weibo account even kindly explained the relationship between the two.
Daoist couple.
Is it what they understand it to mean, "the couple"?
Haha. Where's the sugar daddy you promised? You two are married and still out there doing cosplay?
Is this a special hobby of you ferocious beasts?
At this moment, Gu Yanjing was playing a game, still playing a game, with a small orange kitten curled up on the ground.
I was completely unaware of the doubts circulating online.
He had already tasted the slander of the world, so now he didn't care about it anymore.
After finishing up at the company, Lu Lingjun tidied up and came back. Seeing the person curled up on the sofa as if they were going to lie there forever, he couldn't help but go over and kick the orange cat under the TV cabinet.
Orange cat: You really are a dog.
"Jiaojiao, let's go for a walk today." Lu Lingjun brushed the stray hairs from Gu Yanjing's ear.
"Where do we want to go for a walk?" Gu Yan asked without even looking up.
His teammates were discussing whether he was really Gu Yanjing.
"How about going to the farmers' market?" Just like any ordinary couple, they go grocery shopping and stroll around.
It seems not bad.
"Do you want to poison me?" Gu Yanjing finally managed to give Lu Lingjun a look amidst his busy schedule, a look full of daggers.
Lu Lingjun cooking = Lu Lingjun making poison.
Originally, he had experienced this before when he was in the human realm, but at that time Lu Lingjun did not have many ingredients and could not make anything that was too contrary to the laws of nature.
But things are different now.
“How could Jiaojiao think like that? How could I bear to hurt my Jiaojiao?” Lu Lingjun’s smile froze, almost cracking open.
"Look at the mark on my neck and put your hand on your conscience before you say that," Gu Yanjing chuckled coldly.
Lu Lingjun remained silent.
I ordered takeout again for dinner, and only went out for a walk after I finished eating.
The place where they stayed was very lively and bustling with people. A new, temporary street had been set up next to it, where there were vendors selling fake antiques, Xinjiang raisins, Miao medicine ointments, and even loose Longjing tea.
Longjing tea sold loose at roadside stalls?
Gu Yan glanced at the Longjing tea, then silently drifted away, but weighed out two catties of raisins and jujubes next door.
It's quite sweet.
After wandering around outside for a while, Gu Yanjing yawned and went back with Lu Lingjun.
Two weeks later, while Gu Yanjing was still enjoying immense popularity online, the production team released the first episode of the first season directly on the platform.
Instantly, countless netizens flocked to the platform to watch the first episode.
They were actually more curious about how He Zigui and Gu Yanjing had gotten into this falling out this time.
The last leaked video kept them entertained for over half a month.
After all, netizens generally enjoy watching arguments and conflicts.
However, we obviously won't see Gu Yanjing and He Zigui's fight in the first episode.
Instead, upon entering, they saw several guests arriving. Perhaps because this wasn't what they were expecting, they found it rather uninteresting.
They knew that Gu Yanjing had arrived with his sugar daddy.
Damn.
If their sugar daddy is that handsome, they wouldn't really mind not being so strict about their sexual orientation.
Then they saw Nan Wan'er, a renowned and accomplished actress, acting timid and cowardly in front of Gu Yanjing, looking like a complete idiot, and almost getting herself into trouble.
At the same time, they also discovered that the man next to Nan Wan'er was the third newly emerged non-human that the official Weibo account of the central government had posted about half a month ago.
What was it called again?
Devouring the Heavens, a ferocious beast devouring the heavens.
Like Gu Yanjing, they were both ferocious beasts.
However, when they saw the ferocious beast Devouring Sky get angry in front of Nan Wan'er, a hug was enough to appease it; but when it made a mistake, a stern face would immediately make it back down.
Is this a ferocious beast?
This is such a good boy!
Sure enough, other people's boyfriends are all bastards, while mine are all picked out of the trash.
Upon seeing this, thousands of Chinese netizens instinctively kicked their boyfriends/husbands lying next to them.
Next, they watched as everyone received their tasks, observing Gu Yanjing's arrogant demeanor.
I used to think they weren't worthy, but now I'm taking on the identity of this ferocious beast, the Vermilion Bird.
Haha, suddenly I feel like there's absolutely nothing wrong with what they did.
Even after seeing Gu Yanjing casually buy a stone and find a 500* jadeite inside, she was completely blown away.
Sure enough, the abilities of these big shots are different from those of ordinary people.
Big shots make money in increments of hundreds of dollars, but they make it in increments of hundreds of dollars.
This is fucking tough.
However, the first episode ended after the big shot went to buy pearls with a dollar.
However, the big boss actually went to the wholesale market to save money, hahaha, how come they didn't think of this method? Well done!
The production team probably never imagined that the 500 yuan they gave would be defeated by the wholesale market.
After the first episode ended, countless people immediately commented on Weibo, bringing Gu Yanjing, Zhuque, the 500* jadeite, and the wholesale market to the top of the trending searches.
Gu Yanjing truly lives up to her reputation as someone who trends on social media.
The buzz continued for three days until news of another Best Actor receiving a new Hollywood film contract reached China, finally quelling the trending topic about Gu Yanjing.
Gu Yanjing received a message saying that there was a promotional task for "The Great Emperor" the next day, which involved going on a variety show, and the director and several lead actors from the production team would be going together.
Just as Gu Yanjing's popularity hadn't waned yet, the variety show producers readily agreed, booking a five-star hotel for Gu Yanjing and providing her with a luxury nanny van.
All the plane tickets for the trip are ready.
Gu Yanjing went with Qian Ming and Gu Congxin, but Lu Lingjun didn't go with them. He had a contract to negotiate abroad and couldn't go to the variety show with Gu Yanjing.
Variety shows are nothing more than playing games and doing funny tasks. Gu Yanjing had a straight face the whole time, like a living Yama, which almost made the host die of embarrassment.
However, considering the person's identity, the host held back.
This guy is a big shot, someone who can crush them at any time. They can't get angry, they can't do anything about it.
After the variety show is recorded, it all depends on how well it's edited in post-production.
It has to be said, editing is a magical thing.
After Gu Yanjing finished tidying up, he was immediately called over by Director Zhuang, who was also there. Nan Wan'er and Zhang Xiao'ai were also present.
As soon as Zhang Xiaoai saw Gu Yanjing, she rushed over: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, do you need a maid? Do you think I can be one? No need to pay me, just let me have some of your and Phoenix's **."
"I don't need any." My husband at home is extremely jealous; if he brings another woman home, he'll cause a huge uproar.
Gu Yanjing refused outright.
"Your Majesty, could we take a photo together?" She hadn't had a chance to get a photo with her idol in so long.
Waaaaah, the fangirl is crying.
Director Zhuang couldn't take it anymore and pulled him back: "That's enough. My head is practically submerged in the Yalu River."
Gu Yanjing glanced at Director Zhuang's face, then at Zhang Xiaoai's face, and then coldly and ruthlessly refused: "If it doesn't work out, you can have someone Photoshop you into someone else later. Make it look unfamiliar, so my wife doesn't see it."
Zhang Xiaoai: ...Damn, whose photos of them with their idols are photoshopped, and even made to look unfamiliar?
You can do it, Your Majesty Suzaku.
Director Zhuang comforted Zhang Xiaoai, then called Tuntian, who had come to pick up Nan Wan'er, and took Gu Yanjing, Qian Ming, and Gu Congxin out for a late-night snack.
We ate boxed lunches for dinner, and none of us ate very well.
After dinner, the group went back to the hotel together. After a long day, everyone was exhausted and fell asleep as soon as they lay down on the bed.
Only Gu Yanjing couldn't fall asleep, tossing and turning in bed.
It seems that he feels completely out of sorts when Lu Lingjun isn't around.
Gu Yanjing dawdled until late at night before finally falling asleep clutching the sword that Lu Lingjun had left in his suitcase.
Gu Yanjing immediately asked Gu Congxin to get him a visa and buy him a plane ticket so he could fly directly to find Lu Lingjun.
He wanted to see Lu Lingjun.
Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep.
On the plane, Gu Yanjing was so sleepy that he kept yawning. Gu Congxin, who was next to him, wanted him to take a nap, but to his surprise, Gu Yanjing kept his eyes open with dark circles under his eyes, seemingly lost in thought.
Then Gu Congxin fell asleep.
Flying for more than ten hours straight without sleeping is unbearable.
"Gu Congxin, Gu Congxin." Gu Yan kicked Gu Congxin beside him.
Gu Congxin suddenly woke up with a start.
Fortunately, there were only the two of them in the first-class cabin, so no one would find them noisy.
"Your Majesty, yes, what are your orders?" Gu Congxin immediately woke up from his sleep. If it weren't for the seatbelt, he would have knelt down and kowtowed three times to Gu Yanjing.
"A movie, never mind, a bottle of *** instead." Gu Yan paused, startled.
Headache.
He was completely obsessed with Lu Lingjun; as soon as he was away from Lu Lingjun, he couldn't eat or sleep properly, and he was restless.
It's just like an uncontrollable drug addict.
However, his antidote was Lu Lingjun.
Seeing Gu Yan's dark circles under his eyes, Gu Congxin didn't dare to delay and immediately sent over two bottles of steroids, along with a bottle of water, the cap of which was already open.
Gu Congxin: Sure enough, he is His Majesty's most considerate one.
Gu Yan was afraid of eating himself to death, so he swallowed half a bottle first. Then, when that didn't work, he swallowed another half bottle, but he still couldn't fall asleep.
If he had known the plane was so slow, he should have flown directly to find Lu Lingjun.
With that thought in mind, Gu Yanjing left a clone behind for Gu Congxin to watch over before leaving.
He's going to find his antidote.
Gu Congxin: I've never seen His Majesty so impatient.
Even though Lu Lingjun's aura was * miles away, Gu Yanjing could sense it and headed straight for that place.
It's a hotel.
It was the middle of the night, and Gu Yan, not wanting to disturb anyone, quietly entered Lu Lingjun's room. Looking at Lu Lingjun sleeping peacefully on the bed, he didn't say anything, but lifted Lu Lingjun's blanket and went to sleep.
The familiar scent enveloped him, instantly easing his tense nerves, and he soon fell asleep.
The man who had been sleeping on one side suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Zhuque, and smiled as he pulled her into his arms.
"Suzaku, are you now unable to live without me?"
Lu Lingjun kissed Gu Yanjing's earlobe, his voice tinged with amusement.
He admitted that he was selfish.
But he couldn't bear to part with his Vermilion Bird.
Since you're unwilling to let go of Suzaku, then keep him by your side.
If you make Suzaku inseparable from you, then you won't be separated, right?
The sleeping Vermilion Bird, completely oblivious to these words, remained fast asleep.
"Zhuque, look, we are a match made in heaven, we are so compatible." Lu Lingjun didn't care that he didn't get an answer, he reached out and grabbed Gu Yanjing's hand, interlocking their fingers.
“Zhuque, my heart has begun to grow. It’s moving, it’s itching, it’s thinking of you. What about yours?” Lu Lingjun placed their clasped hands on their hearts.
Do you have me in your heart?
There must be.
Lu Lingjun placed a kiss on Gu Yanjing's forehead and sent a message to his business partner in the middle of the night, explaining that he had something to do the next day and could not continue negotiating the contract. The rest of the matter would be handled by his assistant.
Assistant: You're such a dog, love-struck.
