Who is this? Ji Xinghe's first reaction was to touch his mask, making sure it was still attached. Only then did he hear what the person was shouting. Ji Xinghe's forehead was covered in black lines. This person had recognized his live broadcast account.
Qi Yao put Ji Xinghe down and then protected him behind him. Ji Xinghe said, "Qi Yao, let's run."
After saying that, Ji Xinghe grabbed the hand of the man next to him and started running.
At the beginning, Ji Xinghe took Qi Yao to run, but later Ji Xinghe began to lose strength and started to let Qi Yao take him to run.
"Okay, okay." Ji Xinghe took a breath and took the time to look back, "No one caught up with us, we ran too fast." When saying this, Ji Xinghe's expression was a little proud, and then he was led by Qi Yao to walk slowly along the street to adjust his breathing.
Qi Yao was tall and walked on the outside, silently casting a shadow over Ji Xinghe. His shadow obscured Ji Xinghe's figure, obscuring his features. The two of them didn't take a car, but simply strolled back to the apartment.
When Ji Xinghe was about to go to bed at night, he received a call. It was from Joyce, who said that a friend of his wanted to invite Ji Xinghe to a live interview program. The main reason was that this program was Joyce's friend's first time to test the waters in the entertainment industry of Country C. Because the program was not well accepted by the local environment, it was about to fail.
Then, he suddenly saw Joyce's new film and was instantly intrigued. He had an idea to save his show's ratings: he wanted to invite this mysterious star to his show in Country C!
As the absolute soul of "Dream", the protagonist in the movie whose identity is still a mystery has attracted the attention of the whole world.
Every day, there are tens of millions of people who just want to go to the cinema to contribute to the box office of "Dream". They line up in long queues at the theater door to buy tickets. The price of a ticket has been asked to be sky-high, but usually this is the time when scalpers should show their skills, but the scalpers have disappeared one by one and cannot be found even if you want to.
The reason is simple: I already have tickets, why would I be a scalper? Wouldn't I just go in and have fun? I'd have fun, absolutely ecstatic. So happy that after watching it once, I wanted to watch it again, and I wanted to live in the theater forever.
In fact, the reason why "Dreams" was able to jump the queue early had a lot to do with this friend of Joyce, who helped a lot.
But Joyce later said that his friend, Ivan, was so angry that he almost died. After the movie was released, Ivan ran to Joyce's house and punched him several times.
Joyce hadn't even shown him the sample when she asked him for help! Ivan was now agonizing over this. Whether Ji Xinghe was being asked to appear on the show out of public or private motives, only he knew.
Joyce's first reaction after hearing Ivan's request was to disagree and refuse, but Ivan said to him with a serious face and righteous words that he should not make the decision on behalf of Ji Xinghe. At the very least, he should talk to Ji Xinghe about this matter. In the end, the final choice of whether to go up should still be in Ji Xinghe's hands.
This led to Joyce calling Ji Xinghe.
Ji Xinghe pondered for a moment after hearing this, and then asked, "Did he provide much help in the release of the movie?"
Joyce didn't want to say yes, but he couldn't lie to Sun, so he answered reluctantly: "Just like in Country C, a movie needs to go through several reviews in advance if it wants to be released in Country M. But you know, I can't show it to them before the release, which makes the release of the movie very troublesome. So I found Ivan, his family is very powerful in this regard."
Before the movie was released, Ivan regarded Joyce as a good friend and trusted Joyce very much. As for after the movie was released... Ivan would feel itchy every time he saw Joyce.
Joyce said this and Ji Xinghe understood. It seemed that Ivan had played a big role in the successful release of "Dream". This was also a big favor for Ji Xinghe.
But before agreeing, Ji Xinghe asked again, "Is this program important to him?"
Joyce's answer was even more reluctant now. "Yes. Ivan has been ostracized by the family and is temporarily at a disadvantage. If he can successfully expand into the Country C market, his life will be much better."
"If that's the case, please tell him that I'm willing to be on his live interview show. Just consider it as a way to express my gratitude to him." Ji Xinghe said finally.
"Oh, he is such a lucky guy. But don't worry, Sun, I will confine him to Country M and will not let him go to Country C to do anything to you during your recording of the show." Joyce didn't believe Ivan's bottom line at all.
"Thank you." Ji Xinghe chuckled.
After Joyce hung up the phone, adhering to his professional ethics and a sense of responsibility for the program, Ji Xinghe first found the live broadcast program Joyce mentioned on the Internet: "Live Face to Face", and then watched the previous episodes.
How should I put it? Actually, this program is quite generous. From the very first episode, it has been full of big names, movie emperors, and top stars. It can be seen that the producers are ambitious.
But Ji Xinghe concluded: The bad thing about this program is that they found a very open-minded host from Country M to preside over the entire program process.
You have to remember that the two countries have different cultures. Some things that might seem like jokes to the American audience might be seen as inappropriate or even disrespectful by many Country C viewers and even guests. Just looking at the first episode, there were several instances where the host's jokes left the guests feeling embarrassed and humiliated.
For example, the guest of the second episode is a female star who has received both positive and negative comments in the entertainment industry and who will definitely cause a storm whenever she appears.
This actress is known for her beauty and has been in many relationships. However, she is very open with her fans about each of her relationships. The time between each relationship has never overlapped, and she and her boyfriends have always parted ways amicably, with no so-called third party involved in any affair.
But when the host was interviewing the actress, he asked: "What do you think of your previous boyfriends' skills? Can they satisfy you? Did you break up with your previous boyfriend because your current boyfriend is older?"
The actress's face turned pale and red, then red and black. She could only manage a perfunctory response and change the subject. But the host's expression was inappropriate, and he asked similar questions several times over the next hour or so.
After the show was over, the actress was so angry that she didn't even bother talking about meeting up in the future and started cursing on her personal platform. Her fans were also furious and took turns to blast her in the comment section of "Live Face to Face".
The same thing happened with the third episode. Unfortunately, the production team ran into a tough problem. The guest for the third episode was a popular celebrity with incredibly strong fans. After the third episode, in order to vent their anger on their idol, the host was pelted with dozens of rotten eggs by fans as he left the studio.
And he threw it every day, standing at the door of the studio every day. In the end, the host's mentality collapsed and he returned home crying.
Since then, this top-tier fan base has become famous overnight, and perhaps because it has aroused public anger, there are not many voices of condemnation in the entertainment industry this time, and everyone is saying that it is very gratifying.
Because one host left, the show "Live Face to Face" was quickly replaced with another host for the next few episodes. This time, the host was a veteran host from Country C. Unfortunately, the show's reputation had already been tarnished, and domestic fans simply didn't buy into it, and the show's popularity inevitably began to decline.
After watching the previous episodes, Ji Xinghe sighed: "Could this be an undercover agent sent by the rival? This is too tricky."
But thinking of himself, Ji Xinghe nodded thankfully. Fortunately, the host was changed, otherwise Ji Xinghe would really have to think about whether he should go back on his word.
Ivan was overjoyed when he received Ji Xinghe's affirmative answer. In fact, Ji Xinghe was right. The previous host was indeed sent by the rival. Otherwise, no one with a brain would do such a thing.
Ivan was not powerful in his family. He finally got his grandfather's support to develop the market in Country C, but ended up being framed by his cousin.
The previous host also had connections, having been piqued by Ivan's cousin's interest and joined the production team. This gave Ivan a headache, yet he couldn't force her out. Fortunately, the eldest daughter herself broke down and returned home in tears. Unfortunately, the show he had put so much effort into preparing was almost dead, and no matter how hard he tried to save it, it was gone.
Next, Ivan immediately announced the next guest on "Live Face to Face".
He is the most perfect angel in dreams. With him, the haunting dream lover in the world's imagination has taken on a truly vivid life. He is director Joyce's "Dream," and now he has become the dream of everyone in the world. Let's meet next Friday and look forward to the arrival of dreams together.
This announcement did not attract much attention at first. "Live Face to Face" has become unrecoverable beyond human power. Every day, the people who check in the comment section of the program team are nothing but black fans, who basically just burn incense and leave.
Li Xiao, as usual, visited the comment section of "Live Face to Face" today to light a stick of incense, then walked away and ignored it. This rubbish production team doesn't deserve any more attention!
Then she logged into her own fan-chasing account with 450,000 fans. As is customary among international fans, she first posted a few pictures of her brother's gorgeous face, and then waited for other fans in the comment section to start licking her.
But this time, I don't know if it's just a psychological effect, but Li Xiao always feels that his idol has become uglier. After taking a closer look, he found that the skin has been smoothed and photoshopped, and he is not ugly at all.
Li Xiao sighed, "Alas, after eating all sorts of delicacies from land and sea, dragon liver and phoenix gall, what should I do if he suddenly doesn't like the simple porridge and side dishes anymore?"
There was a photo in her phone's encrypted album, a photo she had found with great difficulty. In it was a picture of the handsome white moonlight that she probably would never get in her lifetime.
Unable to continue looking at the photos, Li Xiao simply turned to the comments section. Within a short while, the crowd of fans who inhabited the comments section had already arrived. And surprisingly, many of them shared the same idea as her.
"Hmm... I have mixed feelings. What should I do if the brother I've been pursuing for so long suddenly turns ugly?"
"Ever since my sister in Country M gave me a picture, everything else has become boring to me except waiting for "Dream" to be released in Country C."
"Thanks for the invitation. I'm in Country M and just got off the plane ready to go to the movies. I don't even feel bad about the 100,000 yuan movie ticket. I actually think it's totally worth it!"
“!!!”
"Everyone, go check it out! 'Live Face to Face' actually made such a big move behind my back. I'm dying!!!"
"I, I'm going to die too. Quick, anyone, go and help me confirm whether his announcement is what I understood it to be!"
"I turned 360 degrees and knelt down. 'Live Face to Face' production crew, do you think I'm kneeling properly? Please!!!"
【Plus one, Dad, I kneel down to you! 】
Li Xiao even wondered if he'd misread the comments. What happened to the promise that all fans would be blackmailers for life on "Live Face to Face"? You actually called the production team "Daddy" behind my back?
Even though the idol was ugly, the relationship built over so many years couldn't be thrown away. Chasing a star also had sunk costs. Li Xiao decided to go see what the "Live Face to Face" production team was up to.
Three minutes later.
"Dad! Do you think I'm kneeling properly? If not, I can do it again!!!" Li Xiao shouted across the screen.
