Chapter 86 His Lover Deserves a Lot of Love
There was not a trace of exaggeration in Gu Xiucheng's words.
This endorsement was actually carefully selected by him for Ningmingluo.
Endorsement is the most direct way to measure the commercial value of a star actor. Gu Xiucheng is very clear about this, so he started thinking about this matter right after Ning Mingluo signed the contract with Dynasty.
So when he was choosing a brand for Ning Mingluo to endorse, he was very cautious, but after looking at many, he always felt that they were all mediocre and not very satisfied.
Finally, they turned their attention to their own brands.
Huangchao's subsidiaries are involved in various industries such as clothing, jewelry, etc., and each of them is a leader in the industry. Huangchao's first spokesperson, no matter which line he endorses, will always make a sensation in the entertainment industry, and Ning Mingluo's value will be immediately reflected.
After careful comparison, he felt that the beauty line was the most suitable for Ning Mingluo to endorse.
After he has determined this idea in his mind, he will push them to implement this plan intentionally or unintentionally.
At the meeting, someone openly proposed to hire a spokesperson, and this result was facilitated by him.
Everything was planned.
Gu Xiucheng is an excellent hunter with quick thinking and great patience. He plans early and carries out his plans perfectly.
Gu Xiucheng did not choose to tell Ning Mingluo directly because he was worried that Ning Mingluo would feel burdened and stressed after knowing it, which was not the result he wanted.
Apart from work, Gu Xiucheng puts all his energy into researching Ningming Network.
His lover was bullied too badly by the previous company, so he always subconsciously denies himself and unconsciously conveys the idea that he does not seem to be worthy of this position and that he has not yet reached this level.
This was what he noticed from the occasional work exchanges between the two of them when Ning Mingluo started working seriously.
The resources Ning Mingluo has now are indeed partly due to his connections, but to be honest, they were all obtained by Ning Mingluo himself.
Gu Xiucheng has always known a truth: it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. He provided opportunities, and Ning Mingluo seized these opportunities firmly, which is why he has achieved his current results.
The quintessence of accumulated experience is fully embodied in Ning Mingluo.
A big part of the reason why those directors, producers, and investors chose Ning Mingluo was because of his charisma.
So from the very beginning of this endorsement, he had no intention of telling Ning Mingluo about his thoughts. He wanted Ning Mingluo to understand that he was really good and worthy of all the good things, the obsessed eyes of fans, and the recognition from the industry. For Ning Mingluo, all of these were recognition of him.
But plans did not change as quickly as they did, and even he himself did not expect things to develop into what they are now.
Thinking of those bad people, Gu Xiucheng's eyes darkened. In the past, these people did some harmless things, and he didn't care.
After all, everyone is essentially working, and only sufficient benefits can drive these people.
But this time these people completely stepped on his bottom line.
Not to mention the behind-the-scenes manipulation of the selection process, even the people he explicitly disapproved dared to be included, defying his instructions. This is not something that can be simply ignored.
But there is no need to tell Ning Mingluo about these things and make him worry.
When Ning Mingluo heard the affirmative answer from Gu Xiucheng, he didn't know whether he should be relieved or sad about losing the endorsement.
He liked the things Gu Xiucheng did for him. These were all evidence that Gu Xiucheng cared about him. It was impossible for him to not feel sweet and proud.
This time, due to some issues at the company's top management, there was no result. As a result of some coincidences, he didn't get the endorsement opportunity, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
"I appreciate your kindness, but you don't have to do this specifically for me. My current popularity doesn't align with Dynasty's positioning. If I get this kind of resources, they'll just lament my good luck or speculate about my relationship with Dynasty's top management. Then everyone's attention won't be on the product itself, nor on me. It's not worth it. So, can you wait a little longer? Wait until I'm capable enough to win this endorsement with dignity, okay?"
Ning Mingluo said this because his fame was not in line with Huangchao's, and another reason was that he had to give Gu Xiucheng a way out.
He probably understood why Gu Xiucheng had been avoiding him these days. This guy was clearly stuck in a dead end and was stubbornly unwilling to tell him what he was thinking.
Gu Xiucheng looked at Ning Mingluo deeply and said, "But I want your first endorsement to have my label on it." This was his hidden possessiveness.
He had no way to control Ning Mingluo's life in the entertainment industry. Ning Mingluo was an independent individual and he had to respect his lover.
But he also had to participate in every first time of Ning Mingluo. He had no way to control this possessiveness, nor did he want to control it.
"So I asked you to wait for me. I'll focus on filming and not worry about getting endorsements. Before I'm truly capable, I promise you, I won't accept any endorsements."
Ning Mingluo himself does not have such high demands for material life. Most of his money is spent on his grandmother. Now he works hard to make money mainly to repay Gu Xiucheng. In a sense, this is not a pressure.
So what's the harm in not accepting endorsements? If you can cheer up your awkward boyfriend with just one sentence, why not do it?
There was a serious look in my lover's eyes, and there was no perfunctory tone in these words.
Gu Xiucheng was stunned when he heard this.
Ning Mingluo is very popular now. Although the number of brands looking for him is not as large as that of Dynasty and many first-line brands, there are definitely quite a few of them, and the endorsement fee he is offered is not a small amount. Faced with such a situation, Ning Mingluo actually told him to wait for him for a while.
How could his lover be so sincere?
Ning Mingluo was suddenly hugged and was stunned for a second, then he hugged Gu Xiucheng with his backhand.
"What's wrong? You suddenly want to hug me. Are you moved by what I said?"
Gu Xiucheng didn't say anything.
Ning Mingluo narrowed his eyes and said, "Tell me if you are moved by me. If you don't, I won't let you hug me."
"Well, Mingluo is the best kid."
The person who was ferocious just now suddenly had his ears red when he was praised.
But Ning Mingluo was still thinking about another serious matter.
"So, Mr. Gu, can you tell me now about why you've been avoiding me these past two days?"
Gu Xiucheng originally thought that the topic was over, but who knew that after going around in circles like this, Ning Mingluo would come back.
"How about we put the things in the kitchen first and continue chatting after dinner?" Gu Xiucheng wanted to go get that thing.
Ning Mingluo stopped him.
Just now, it was Gu Xiucheng who trapped Ning Mingluo at the entrance and wouldn't let her leave. But now, the situation is completely reversed, and Ning Mingluo is holding Gu Xiucheng.
"If you don't explain clearly, I won't cook tonight."
Ning Mingluo looked at Gu Xiucheng with determination, insisting on asking why.
Now that we have coaxed each other, it’s time to solve the problem.
"I'm not avoiding you, I just don't know how to face you. I always seem to mess up everything related to you."
"Huh?" Ning Mingluo was a little confused. What had Gu Xiucheng messed up?
The time he spent with Gu Xiucheng was the happiest and luckiest time of his life. Because of Gu Xiucheng's appearance, he had many changes and encountered many happy things.
"I promised to help you take care of grandma, but her condition has worsened."
No one knew how much he hated himself when he saw Ning Mingluo's almost heartbroken expression in the hospital, and why he didn't take Ning Mingluo's grandmother to see a doctor earlier.
"I said I wanted to protect you but I let you get hurt on the set."
Ning Mingluo was hurt by Zhou Shiyi and was injured on the set. He hated himself for knowing this person's thoughts clearly, but because of overconfidence he did not punish him, which brought hidden dangers to Ning Mingluo.
This time too, the endorsement he had specially prepared for Ning Mingluo was still messed up.
It may not even be possible to finalize the endorsement now.
Gu Xiucheng even felt that he was the one who was decisive and invincible in the business world.
Why can't I do anything for Ning Mingluo properly?
Observing Gu Xiucheng's expression, Ning Mingluo knew that he really felt that he didn't do well enough.
The man who has always been high and mighty was now confused and afraid because of his lover. Such an expression and such performance moved Ning Mingluo.
She gently held Gu Xiucheng's cheek and said, "There are many things that cannot be influenced even with supernatural powers, especially people's hearts. You are very good, but it is impossible for you to arrange your subordinates and the many people you come into contact with one by one and make them follow your ideas. Everything changes rapidly. It is enough for me to know your feelings. And how do you know that the current arrangement may happen to be the one I like best?"
Gu Xiucheng is afraid of his lover and feels absolutely guilty towards her for not doing something well. In Ning Mingluo's eyes, this kind of behavior makes her feel that Gu Xiucheng is more humane and more lovable.
"Don't blame me?" Gu Xiucheng's voice was a little hoarse.
"Of course, how could I blame you? You've been leaving early and coming back late these past few days. You have no idea how worried I am about you. I even went to ask Mr. Tang today if anything happened to you."
"Ask Tang Xiuwen? No! If you have anything to ask me next time, just ask me directly."
Just now when I started talking about it, my possessiveness came back.
Ning Mingluo rolled her eyes. "Then from now on, when I ask you questions or show concern for your feelings, you must answer me properly. Don't give me the cold shoulder anymore! Otherwise, I'll go ask someone else."
After a while, Gu Xiucheng nodded and agreed.
In Gu Xiucheng's life, which can be said to be born with a silver spoon in his mouth, there are countless people who care about him, either because of family affection or for the sake of interests. Every time they show concern, their faces are filled with smiles, but who can tell how much of their sincerity is there?
But Ning Mingluo is different. He is not doing it for money or power, but just because of who he is.
Just because of these three words: Gu Xiucheng.
Just like the time when my lover handed me candy in the hospital, even though they were strangers, I still gave them the care I could.
His lover deserves a lot of love.
