Chapter 13 The Fallen Child Star 13
Xu Weiheng didn’t notice that Yao Rong was taking pictures of him.
He played with the balloon for a while, then turned to look at Xiao Chou who was jumping away.
Xiao Chou didn’t go far, and was chasing a little girl with her hair tied high in the air, her bulky body swaying. The little girl laughed loudly at being chased, and stopped only when she had enough fun. She raised her hand obediently and asked Xiao Chou to tie the balloon to her children’s watch .
I don’t know which naughty child was playing with the bubble machine, a series of transparent bubbles floated in the air, penetrated by the sunlight, and dyed with colorful colors.
The largest bubble struggled to float in front of Xu Weiheng.
He stared at the bubble again and again, and couldn’t help but poked it with his fingertips.
With a "pop" sound, the bubble burst.
The little girl with puffy hair was chasing bubbles. When she saw Xu Weiheng's action, she opened her mouth in surprise.
Xu Weiheng coughed, turned around with his hand behind his back, and walked back to the shade of the tree with the water in his hand.
He unscrewed the bottle cap and handed the water to Zhang Qingyi.
"Aunt Zhang, drink some water."
Zhang Qingyi's throat was about to smoke, and half of her body was paralyzed on the outdoor bench. She held a small fan in one hand and received water with the other.
Xu Weiheng handed the water to Yao Rong again.
Yao Rong pulled him to sit down: "Are you hot?"
"It's okay. What are you looking at?"
Yao Rong shook the camera: "I just took a few photos. Do you want to see them?"
Xu Weiheng drank the water and leaned over to look.
When he saw the content of the photos clearly, Xu Weiheng was stunned and paused in drinking the water. It was not until the cold water flowed out of the bottle and wet his collar that he hurriedly put down the bottle and shook his collar with his hands.
Yao Rong asked knowingly: "What's wrong?"
Only a corner of the collar was wet, and he didn't worry about catching a cold in this weather. Xu Weiheng wiped his collarbone with a tissue and turned his attention back to the photo: "You... why did you suddenly take a photo of me?"
Yao Rong said bluntly: "Because the scene just now was very beautiful."
Zhang Qingyi drank a few sips of water and felt much better. He helped analyze from a professional perspective: "I just saw it too. Sister Yao's photo is really great. Both the composition and the light and shadow are just right."
As a professional photographer, Zhang Qingyi's words are obviously very credible.
But Xu Weiheng's focus is not on these at all.
What he really cares about is "being caught in the photo."
"Angry?"
A chill spread from Xu Weiheng's cheeks. Yao Rong gently touched his face with a bottle of iced mineral water.
"Not angry." Xu Weiheng was worried that Yao Rong would misunderstand him. After hesitating for a while, he chose to confess, "I'm just a little afraid of facing the camera."
Zhang Qing almost dropped her jaw in surprise.
She had lived with Xu Weiheng for a while and knew that Xu Weiheng's condition was not very good, but she didn't expect it to be so bad that it would leave such a serious psychological shadow.
A star who lives in the camera should not be afraid of it even if he doesn't enjoy it.
Zhang Qing said sincerely, "You are actually very photogenic. You look good in any photo. As a photographer, I like working with models like you the most. It is worry-free and you can take good-looking photos."
Even when Xu Weiheng was being criticized by the whole network, not many people attacked his appearance.
Aesthetics have always been diverse.
But Xu Weiheng's appearance, no matter how big the difference in aesthetics, it is hard to say that he looks bad.
He is still young now. After a few years, his facial features will be fully developed and his temperament will fade away from youth. It is not an exaggeration to say that he relies on his beauty to commit violence.
Yao Rong also smiled and said, "It's normal to take tourist photos when traveling. I'm not asking you to record a variety show or film a TV show right now."
Xu Weiheng finally smiled a little: "That's true."
He promised Ms. Yao that he would work hard to move forward.
The first step to move forward is to get rid of the fear of the camera.
"Let's take a group photo." Xu Weiheng took the camera and took the initiative to suggest.
The three of them sat under the shade of the tree and took several group photos before they went to the restaurant for dinner with satisfaction.
When they came out of the restaurant, it was completely dark, but the whole amusement park was brightly lit. There were waiters handing out fluorescent sticks at the door of the restaurant. Yao Rong went to get three and gave them all to Xu Weiheng when she came back.
Xu Weiheng broke the fluorescent sticks and put them on his wrists one by one.
There were many activities in the amusement park at night. The three of them wandered around aimlessly and soon walked to the bottom of the Ferris wheel.
There was originally an open space there, but now a temporary stage has been built.
The stage was surrounded by glowing stars, and there was a familiar melody floating in the air.
Xu Weiheng suggested: "Let's go and take a look."
After walking in, the three of them saw the posted promotional posters - this is a small game held by the amusement park. Any visitor who goes on stage to sing the entire song "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" can receive a star pillow as a souvenir.
The activity should have just started, and there were not many people participating. Most of the people stood under the stage and watched. Only a pair of parents accompanied their seven or eight-year-old son to the stage to sing.
Xu Weiheng didn't plan to go on stage, he just stood in the crowd and watched the excitement.
But Yao Rong pushed him: "Go up and have some fun."
Xu Weiheng was shocked: "Me?"
"I remember when you first debuted, you went to an orphanage to participate in an event, and the song you sang to those children was "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star."
Xu Weiheng asked curiously: "How did you know? Did you see the Weibo I posted?"
Yao Rong smiled: "Yes, you like this song very much, don't you?"
Yes, Xu Weiheng likes it very much.
He played a child named "Xingxing" in "2050". Perhaps because of empathy, since then, everything he likes the most is related to stars. Naturally,
it also includes the nursery rhyme "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star."
This is a nursery rhyme he has heard and sung countless times.
"I..." Xu Weiheng pinched his red ears and said awkwardly, "I'd better not go up to sing. This activity is for children. What am I going to do?" As
soon as he finished speaking, a burly man rushed onto the stage happily, grabbed the microphone handed to him by the host, sang directly, and finally received a soft pillow from the host.
Yao Rong stared at Xu Weiheng, without saying a word, but the meaning was very clear.
Xu Weiheng: "..."
He was about to struggle again, and another girl with long flowing hair walked onto the stage.
Xu Weiheng: "..."
"Go on." Yao Rong curled the corners of his lips and pressed down the brim of his hat, "With the hat blocking you, no one can recognize you. Besides, it doesn't matter even if they really recognize you."
Xu Weiheng tilted his head and looked at the simple temporary stage.
He silently asked himself: Is he opposed to going up there to sing?
Xu Weiheng was not actually opposed, but he would be a little panicked.
He was not mentally prepared to stand on the stage again and be stared at by everyone in the audience.
But what was so scary about this simple stage with only twenty or thirty spectators?
He had broadcast live in front of millions of spectators before.
Xu Weiheng closed his eyes, his eyelashes as dense as crow feathers covered his eyelids. After trembling for a moment, he opened his eyes again, his eyes became firm: "Okay, I'll go up."
He walked slowly and firmly from the dark crowd to the place where the lights were shining, and walked to the top of the stage.
The host exchanged a few words with him and handed him the microphone and the stage.
All the lights on the stage went out in an instant, and only the three fluorescent sticks on Xu Weiheng's wrists were glowing.
He lowered his eyes and began to hum along with the melody.
The elegant and youthful singing voice, which was tense and joyful, caught the ears of all the listeners. It was obviously a familiar nursery rhyme, but when he sang it, it seemed to have a new layer of charm, which was refreshing. Gradually,
the audience began to wave their fluorescent sticks to the beat.
The crowd began to cheer for him, applaud him, and scream for him.
He was shining brightly in the center of the stage.
And Yao Rong stood in the crowd from beginning to end, gazing at him tenderly.
***
At the same time, the Xu family.
With the current level of information development, the best crisis public relations time for an incident is within 72 hours after the incident breaks out. Beyond this time, many forgetful netizens have already lost their attention to the incident, and it would be extremely difficult to clarify it again.
The Xu family did respond to the fact that "Xu Ji and Xu Yiyuan are biological father and son" at the first time.
But their response not only did not have any effect, but also proved the incident in the opposite direction.
Later, the police came to investigate.
With the police watching, the Xu family dared not make any more noise and cooperated with the investigation.
In this way, they missed the best public relations opportunity.
Now many netizens believe that Xu Yiyuan is Xu Ji's illegitimate child.
For this reason, the parent-child variety show "Dear Family" that had previously invited Xu Ji and Xu Yiyuan made a special call to say that there were changes to the contract.
Xu Ji did not agree immediately and asked what they wanted to change.
"The first is that the remuneration will be cut in half. Secondly, our program team intends to contact Xu Weiheng and his mother as special guests to participate in the recording of several episodes."
Xu Ji almost roared: "Impossible!"
The tone of the parent-child variety show team immediately changed, revealing threats and unkindness: "You two, our program team is not discussing with you, but informing you. If you are not happy, just go with the contract. According to the contract, all the responsibilities are on your side."
Xu Ji's heart sank.
He instantly thought of the methods of the "New World of Entertainment" program team.
These program teams were so polite and gentle when they invited him, but when they turned against each other, they were more ruthless than each other. Xu
Yiyuan on the side looked embarrassed.
He was very unwilling.
But no matter how unwilling he was, he had no other choice.
At this time, Xu Yiyuan's mother whispered to Xu Ji: "Let's agree. This may not be a bad thing."
Hearing this, Xu Ji didn't care about arguing with the program team.
He hung up the phone in a hurry and asked: "Why do you say that?"
Xu Yiyuan's mother looked at Xu Yiyuan and asked with a smile: "How did Yiyuan debut in the beginning?"
"Participated in the same variety show with Xu Weiheng..." Xu Yiyuan slapped his head suddenly, "Ah! I understand!"
At that time, he and Xu Weiheng took the same outdoor variety show.
In the variety show, he set off Xu Weiheng like a waste that would only drag the team down. And he himself, stepping on Xu Weiheng, easily made a name for himself in the entertainment industry.
It has only been a short time, Xu Weiheng, that rubbish, has definitely not improved.
Not to mention Xu Weiheng's mother.
When the mother and son appeared in the variety show, netizens did sympathize with them at first, but how long can this sympathy last?
As long as the mother and son behave badly, they will eventually become stepping stones for his family.
