Yu Xiuzhu: "That's all in the past. Haven't we already made things clear?"
The agent shook his head. "Yu Xiuzhu, you underestimate human nature. He hasn't let go at all."
Yu Xiuzhu fell into deep thought.
The battles between celebrities are nothing more than a competition for resources.
Kong He and Yu Xiuzhu were once in the same music group. After Yu Xiuzhu became famous, he had countless commercial resources.
Originally, there was an endorsement deal with Kong He. However, the brand owner saw that Yu Xiuzhu could bring them greater profits, so after the contract with Kong He expired, they turned to Yu Xiuzhu instead.
This endorsement sparked Kong He's dissatisfaction, as he believed that Yu Xiuzhu had stolen his endorsement.
They were originally in the same team and were equally popular.
Before Yu Xiuzhu became famous, Kong He was even more popular than Yu Xiuzhu. He believed that it was because Yu Xiuzhu became famous that he lost his endorsement.
The second grudge was a romantic one. Kong He liked a girl, but that girl liked Yu Xiuzhu.
The third grudge was that the two of them were filming in the same production team, and there was a supporting male role that was originally meant for Kong He.
Later, after joining the film crew, the director felt that the role was more suitable for Xiuzhu, so he gave the role to him.
Yu Xiuzhu became popular again because of this role, and Kong He held a grudge against him.
Yu Xiuzhu chatted with Bai Xi and told the anchor that his agent suspected Kong He.
[Host, could you take a look at Kong He? I want to know if he's the one who framed me.]
Bai Xi did some quick calculations and noticed something unusual about Kong He's appearance.
【yes. 】
Yu Xiuzhu was startled: "It really is him!"
Bai Xi: [Did he suddenly become a sensation six years ago?]
Yu Xiuzhu: [Yes.]
He didn't connect the matter to anything, because in the entertainment industry, it's common for celebrities to become wildly popular.
Some artists haven't become famous for many years, but suddenly become famous because of a certain drama.
There are also those who suddenly become famous and then quickly disappear from the public eye.
This is commonplace in the entertainment industry.
Bai Xi: [Was there anything unusual about his sudden rise to fame six years ago?]
Yu Xiuzhu paused and thought for a few seconds.
I haven't paid much attention to him. He suddenly became popular six years ago because of a variety show.
I asked my agent; he knows more about this than I do.
In the studio, Yu Xiuzhu talked about this with his agent.
Agent: "Why are you suddenly paying attention to Kong He's sudden rise to fame six years ago?"
From the moment he came in until now, his artist has been staring at his phone, chatting with people.
He was also puzzled as to why he, who had never had much of a social life, had someone to chat with.
Yu Xiuzhu: "It's that fortune-telling livestreamer."
The agent's expression turned serious when he heard it was her.
The fact that the controversy surrounding that trending topic was able to subside so quickly is largely thanks to that fortune-telling livestreamer.
"She's willing to help you?"
Yu Xiuzhu: "Mm."
The agent looked at her with suspicion, "What conditions did she have for helping you?"
Yu Xiuzhu shook his head. "No."
Agent: "Really not?"
Yu Xiuzhu nodded.
The agent rested his chin on his hand, deep in thought. "Impossible?"
"Could it be that this streamer has a crush on you?"
Yu Xiuzhu rolled her eyes.
The agent smiled and said, "I know you're not in the mood for dating right now."
He straightened his expression. "That Kong He did indeed become a sensation six years ago. He was on a variety show back then..."
As he spoke, he opened his computer and found the travel variety show that Kong He had appeared on six years ago.
“Look.”
He turned the computer screen towards Yu Xiuzhu.
The top of the screen was filled with bullet comments, and most of them were from Kong He.
Wow, how come I never noticed Kong He's good looks before?
Me too! How blind I was before! I think he's even more handsome than Yu Xiuzhu now.
He suddenly seems to have become more handsome.
He's so charming now!
I'm a fan now!
The agent said, "It's this variety show. To be frank, I watched this travel show of his back then, and I didn't think he suddenly became charming. He's still the same cunning and treacherous person."
Then, "This is probably what happens when your luck turns. If someone is destined to become famous, there's no stopping it."
"These fans only see beauty in their idols' eyes." That was the only reason the manager could attribute it to at the time.
When an artist becomes a sensation, in the eyes of fans, everything he does is handsome and perfectly acceptable.
For example, in this variety show, Kong He clearly didn't have any outstanding performance.
Even though his intelligence and diligence are not as good as the other two popular comedians, and his variety show performance is not as good as those regular guests, netizens can only see Kong He.
His impression was that Kong He became famous for no apparent reason on this variety show.
Yu Xiuzhu pondered, "I'll take it to the anchor to take a look first."
The agent nodded. "Yu Xiuzhu, why don't you have that streamer video chat with us? It'll make our conversations easier that way."
Yu Xiuzhu said, "I'll ask her."
After a while, "she agreed."
Then Bai Xi received a video call from Yu Xiuzhu.
When she appeared in the video, her agent was stunned by her appearance.
His professional instincts kicked in immediately, "Ms. Bai Xi, do you have any plans to re-enter the entertainment industry?"
Without the slightest hesitation, Bai Xi replied, "No."
The agent, seeing her indifferent expression, just like Yu Xiuzhu's, knew there was no chance.
Yu Xiuzhu asked, "Host, can you tell anything?"
Bai Xi pondered, "Could you show me the dramas and variety shows he filmed six years ago, before he became famous?"
Yu Xiuzhu was startled.
They exchanged a glance.
The agent said, "How could I not have thought of that?"
Then he quickly flipped through all of Kong He's works that appeared on screen six years ago.
They quickly browsed through each of the works.
This investigation took half a day.
Bai Xi noticed something and asked, "Take a closer look at the comments above. Is there anything different?"
The agent was taken aback.
Together with Yu Xiuzhu, they focused all their attention on the bullet comments.
Because this was a work from six years ago, even after Kong He became famous, many fans went to see his previous works.
However, there are still many comments from netizens from six years ago.
The comments section of a period drama.
Forgive my bluntness, but he's really not suited for period dramas. His facial features already have flaws, and he still insists on acting in period dramas—what was he thinking?
Kong He's face is strange. You could say he's not handsome, but from certain angles he's actually quite handsome, like in that recent modern idol drama where he looked pretty good. But if you say he's handsome, he reveals his true colors in period dramas, even exuding a sinister aura.
Kong He's face is very dependent on styling, unlike Yu Xiuzhu, who is flawless from every angle and looks good in both modern and ancient settings.
