Chapter 283 First Choice
Xu Youyou frowned slightly, she didn't expect that the Gu family would revive. If she hadn't suddenly seen the second son of the Gu family, who was a celebrity, on Weibo yesterday, she would have thought that the Gu family had gone bankrupt long ago.
The second son of the Gu family has been carrying the halo of the wealthy Gu family since his debut, and many of his fans are attracted to him just because of his wealthy background.
Xu Youyou actually couldn’t understand why fans would worship a star just because his family is rich. Isn’t it because he is a great singer or actor?
There are indeed grassroots stars in the entertainment industry, but once they enter the circle and become a star, they will lose touch with the word "grassroots". The second son of the Gu family is still very popular today, and Xu Youyou feels that something is wrong.
Logically speaking, if the Gu family goes bankrupt, the capital behind Gu Lao Er will most likely abandon him, rather than feeding him with top resources like they are doing now.
The term "Gu Laoer" that was on the hot search yesterday was related to a big drama in the circle. Many celebrity seniors played supporting roles for Gu Laoer. The fact that he could get such resources is enough to show that Gu Laoer is still a darling of capital.
Now that she knew that the Gu family had revived, Xu Youyou suddenly felt that this was not surprising at all.
"Boss, I know you have never liked the Gu family. Just tell Mr. Xie and he will help you solve the problem." Xu Fang said softly.
When Xu Youyou heard this, she immediately shook her head: "Don't worry, I have my own plans."
Xu Youyou has never tried to kill the Gu family. It's not because she is reluctant, but because she is afraid.
In the previous life, the Gu family had experienced crises before, but they were able to overcome them every time and even move up to a higher level.
When Xu Youyou thinks back on it now, she almost thinks that Gu Jia is the favored son of destiny.
Compared to the bitter hatred in her heart, she wanted to keep everything she had now to the maximum extent possible. She always had a feeling that if she intervened too much, she would lose too much.
So until now, Xu Youyou has not done anything directly to frame the Gu family. At most, she met them at an auction and raised the price to cause trouble.
As soon as the two finished talking, Lu Jingyao came back.
"There will be an art exchange in Hong Kong next month. I have received reliable information that the authentic works of Wang Xizhi will be exhibited at this exchange."
Xu Youyou opened her eyes slightly wide when she heard this: "Really? Didn't they say that there are no authentic works of Wang Xizhi handed down to the world?"
The "Lanting Preface", the best running script in the world that is widely circulated today, is just a copy, not the original.
Xu Youyou has been studying calligraphy for so long, but she has always felt sad that she has not been able to see the original works of the Two Wangs in person.
Lu Jingyao's eyes were full of smiles, and he said, "Whether it is true or not, we have to see it with our own eyes to know. The exchange meeting will be in the middle of next month. Can you spare some time?"
Xu Youyou stayed at home most of the time this year. When she wanted to travel occasionally, she only traveled around the country because she was scared by the gun battles abroad.
Now that she heard that she was going to Hong Kong, she hesitated for a moment, but when she thought about the possibility of seeing Wang Xizhi's authentic works with her own eyes, she nodded and agreed.
Since the departure was decided, Xu Youyou started contacting the security company on the same day. She now has sixteen bodyguards around her and is preparing to increase the security force to at least twenty.
After thinking about it, she decided to talk to Liu Xiangyi and asked her to prepare a pass to the port city. She planned to take Liu Xiangyi with her.
"Boss, are you only going to Hong Kong? Are you sure you won't go abroad?" Liu Xiangyi asked again and again.
The experience of being deceived by her college roommate into going to Southeast Asia made Liu Xiangyi completely unwilling to go abroad.
Xu Youyou understood her concerns and said with a smile: "Don't worry, this trip is only to Hong Kong City. Since you are afraid of going abroad, I will not take you abroad casually in the future."
A look of joy suddenly appeared on Liu Xiangyi's face.
Xu Youyou thought that a month would pass quickly, but she didn't expect it to be so long this time. She received push notifications on her phone almost every day.
They are all related to Gu Shuangbai, the second son of the Gu family. Sometimes Gu Shuangbai's outfit is on the hot search, and sometimes the milk tea in his hand becomes a hit, or maybe his performance on stage is so handsome that it dazzles everyone's eyes. There are eight hundred hot searches a day.
Although some passers-by feel aesthetic fatigue, the effects of these hot searches are positive. Many products have become popular because they are named "Gu Shuangbai".
In a short period of time, Gu Shuangbai also created the illusion that he and Song Zhibai were top-notch people in the same class.
As Song Zhibai is a top star, he naturally has a lot of fans. However, many of Gu Shuangbai's fans have become fans of him in recent days. The fans of both sides have been fighting fiercely on Weibo, but there is no clear result.
No one would report this trivial matter of celebrities fighting to Xu Youyou. If it weren't for seeing Gu Shuangbai's name, Xu Youyou would not have known about it.
She is more concerned about tangible benefits.
"Will Gu Shuangbai and Xiao Song's competition for the top spot affect Xiao Song's business resources?" Xu Youyou called Song Zhibai's agent to ask.
The agent was personally questioned by the top boss, and he could feel flattered even through the phone: "Boss, don't worry, Xiao Song's business resources are still unique in China. Currently, there are even international resources contacting him."
Xu Youyou asked: "What international resources?"
The agent said, "Boss, it's Steve, a foreign director, who invited Xiao Song to audition for an important supporting role in his new movie."
Xu Youyou was about to hang up the phone when she suddenly felt something was wrong and asked, "What's the name of the new movie?"
"Once Upon a Time in Paris," the agent replied.
Xu Youyou's eyebrows jumped, and she immediately said, "This movie can't be made!"
In the previous life, this movie caused huge controversy. The director was indeed an internationally renowned director. In order to open up the Chinese-speaking market, he found top domestic superstars to participate in the film. However, the director was a person who wanted both. He wanted the money from the Chinese-speaking market, but he looked down on Chinese culture.
Ultimately, the film was unsurprisingly met with a cold reception in the Chinese-speaking market.
If it was just a cold reception it would have been fine, but it involved other issues and was questioned as an insult to Chinese culture, and faced a widespread boycott. The top male star who was originally scheduled to star in the film was unwilling to admit his mistake because the incident made such a big fuss, which led to a chain reaction, and his past negative material was dug up, and he was completely ruined, to the point where he no longer existed in the domestic entertainment industry.
"Boss, this is director Steve...all the big foreign stars are vying to star in his movies..." the agent said hesitantly.
Xu Youyou: "Then be tactful when you refuse, and don't make it too embarrassing."
broker:……
But these were words spoken by the boss, so even though the agent found it baffling, he had no choice but to agree.
One day later, in Gu Shuangbai's studio, his agent suddenly jumped up after receiving a call and said to Gu Shuangbai, "Shuangbai, Director Steve has invited you to audition for the new movie he is planning to shoot. I heard that his first choice was Song Zhibai, but Song Zhibai inexplicably refused. Now you are the first choice! We are about to become international superstars!"
