Because the news was not targeting Tao Rui, the company's people had not paid attention to it. It was the sharp-eyed netizens who recognized Fang Sitong and Tao Rui, and started gossiping about them as well. They were mainly curious about whether they were with Mo Haofeng and Ji Yawei.
But later, some people thought that the tall man next to Tao Rui was so imposing. Just looking at his back and side, they could tell that he was not an ordinary person.
In less than half an hour, Tao Qi's identity was revealed.
The chairman of Dow Group, Tao Rui's biological brother, is so busy with his work that it is said that even swimming, eating, and taking naps have to be written into his schedule. He is the person most likely to become the next richest man in the world. He actually had dinner with Fang Sitong.
This is the rhythm of Fang Sitong gaining recognition from the wealthy family!
Netizens immediately started gossiping. They'd thought Tao Rui was just being serious about Fang Sitong, but he'd actually brought her to meet the parents, and Tao Qi actually went along with them. This was definitely not just any girlfriend; this was a marriage he was planning.
Not only were the haters stunned, even Fang Sitong's fans were a bit stunned. They loved Fang Sitong, but didn't a wealthy family like the Taos have stringent requirements? Oh, and even that A-list celebrity Ji Yawei didn't even make it to the Mo family. Fang Sitong... Fang Sitong was barely a third-tier star?
But once the fans were over their shock, they were immediately filled with joy, even more emboldened to confront the haters. Who would dare mock Fang Sitong for being kept? Who would dare to gossip that Fang Sitong was hanging out with a wealthy sponsor? They were immediately silenced. And Tao Rui's reply of 2.5 million yuan per person was a slap in their faces.
We will never separate in this life. If we do, I will be the loser.
I'll give each of you 250 after we break up!
These two sentences have become the catchphrase of fans of Mu Tong CP. They also made emoticons using Tao Rui's avatar. Whenever they meet haters, they will just use the emoticons without saying a word.
Tao Rui was amused and annoyed by the trending search #Fang Sitong suspected of marrying into a wealthy family#. He joked to Fang Li, "Tongtong and I have to be more careful when we're out in public from now on. If I don't smile, it'll probably be reported as a breakup. If Tongtong wears loose clothes and flat shoes, it's likely she's suspected of being pregnant and is being cautious. Once we get married, there will definitely be rumors of divorce, infidelity, and pregnancy preservation. It's going to be quite a scene."
Fang Li asked, "What does Mr. Tao think? Should we take care of this kind of public opinion?"
Tao Rui waved his hand. "Don't worry about it. Tongtong doesn't have any works yet. Traffic and popularity will help her become famous as soon as possible. Since our relationship will bring popularity, let it go. It's a waste to use it, right?"
Fang Li hesitated. "Boss Tao, becoming famous this way can easily lead to negative publicity. Even if things go well, there won't be many negative fans. But if there aren't any solid works to follow up, then fame will just become empty talk. Even if you become famous, you'll still be mocked for being unworthy of your position. That's not necessarily a good thing."
"I know that, but don't worry. I saw Tongtong act with my own eyes on the set. She's movie queen material. Just go ahead and make her famous. I want her to be famous as well as have a lot of work."
"Okay, Mr. Tao, I understand." Fang Li was skeptical. Tao Rui claimed to have seen it with his own eyes, so that was probably just a matter of taste. He had to take his words with a grain of salt. But Tao Rui was the boss, and so was Fang Sitong. So that was it. He just had to focus on nurturing other stars to make money for the company.
After Fang Li left, Tao Rui took out his phone and checked it again. He found that many people @ him and sent him private messages, asking him if he really acknowledged Fang Sitong.
This is also the original owner's style has always been like this, that's why netizens come to ask him.
Tao Rui, of course, remained straightforward, directly reposting a popular comment asking about this, and replied: [Of course it's true, Tongtong is worth it.]
The real person admitted that Mu Tong CP was just like celebrating the New Year, and they were all very happy.
At this time, someone transformed into Xiu'er and discovered the bright spot.
[Am I the only one who feels that this sentence has a hidden meaning for someone?]
[…If you hadn’t told me, I really wouldn’t have guessed it. Is it Ji Yawei? Hahaha]
[Right, right, right. Aren't Tao Rui and Mo Haofeng good brothers? If they broke up for some reason, he would definitely know. Tongtong is worth it, but Ji Yawei is not? Hahahaha]
Tao Rui is the one who dares to speak up, awesome! I'm afraid of being attacked by Ji Yawei's fans, so I'll just leave with the pot lid on my head.
[To be honest, I think the problem must lie with Ji Yawei. Otherwise, considering the relationship between Tao Rui, Mo Haofeng, and Ji Yawei, they would never show affection when they are breaking up.]
[Wasn't there a rumor that Ji Yawei owed Tao Rui money? Oh, right, Tao Rui has lost his memory and doesn't recognize them!]
Tao Rui still recognizes Mo Haofeng as his brother. Did anyone take a picture of them playing basketball? Did you forget?
So, what did Ji Yawei do to make Mo Haofeng and Tao Rui stay away from her? Didn't they grow up together?
After Tao Rui and Fang Sitong finished their gossip, everyone's attention turned back to Ji Yawei. After all, Ji Yawei was a well-known star, and she was once a real rich girl, and her boyfriend was the heir of the Mo family. She had many charming qualities, many fans, and was very popular with the public. Everyone had always had the impression of her as an elegant princess in distress.
At this moment, Ji Yawei's fans were all cursing Mo Haofeng, saying that he had wasted years of Ji Yawei's youth and that he broke up with her without saying anything, calling him a complete scumbag. However, passersby didn't join in the scolding, because the animated pictures and photos leaked by the paparazzi clearly showed that Mo Haofeng was about to leave, and Ji Yawei was stopping him and begging him.
If Mo Haofeng had done something wrong, would Ji Yawei have acted like this? That would be too spineless, right? Not pleasing.
If Mo Haofeng did nothing wrong, then Ji Yawei was wrong, and she is equally unpleasant.
In short, passers-by's impression of this matter is that Ji Yawei is not very likable. With Tao Rui's words "worth it", they are more inclined to believe that Ji Yawei is not worthy.
Ji Yawei's fans were furious and launched a massive attack on Tao Rui's Weibo, also attacking Fang Sitong. The two of them didn't have many followers, so facing such an organized, disciplined, and experienced attack, they were useless.
Tao Rui directly asked the company to contact the big fans and told them to stay calm and not to pay any attention to it.
So there was no quarrel between the two sides, and it turned out that Ji Yawei's fans were insulting Tao Rui and Fang Sitong one-sidedly.
This time the idol really paid the price for the fans' behavior. There are countless people who have turned against Ji Yawei. It's a bit annoying to see it. This is a big blow to Ji Yawei's image.
Ji Yawei couldn't care less about being sad now. She hurried back to the company with her agent and asked the PR department to quickly remove the trending searches and suppress the comments. However, the PR department was not as easy to talk to as before and actually asked her to follow the company's procedures.
Yes, the company has a process. Whatever you do has to be approved through filling out forms in the system. Only after several managers have approved it can the company's resources be mobilized to help her deal with this matter.
But in all the years she had been in the company, when had she ever gone through the formalities? She was so angry that she went straight to Mo Haofeng's secretary.
The secretary no longer addressed her as Sister Yawei as before. Instead, she said with a polite yet distant smile, "Ms. Ji, before Mr. Mo left, he told us to follow all the rules and regulations until the new general manager takes office. I can't do anything about this. Please go through the procedures now, and it should be approved quickly."
Ji Yawei was stunned. "What did you say? Haofeng went abroad? You, you said he is no longer in charge of this company?"
The secretary nodded and smiled, "Yes, the new general manager will be here tomorrow. If Miss Ji has any questions about the company's procedures, you can report them to the new general manager tomorrow."
Ji Yawei asked again in disbelief, "Haofeng is no longer coming to this company? Did he resign?"
"Yes."
"Where did he go?"
"Sorry, Miss Ji, I don't know about this."
Ji Yawei was a little overwhelmed. Seeing that the situation was not right, her agent hurriedly pulled her to the reception room next door and closed the door.
"Yawei, what's going on between you and Mr. Mo? You, you didn't really break up with him?" The agent stared at her closely, afraid to miss any expression on her face.
Ji Yawei sat down on the sofa dejectedly and nodded. The agent gasped and said anxiously, "Are you crazy or stupid? How could you break up with Mr. Mo? Don't you know what you rely on? Now that Mr. Mo doesn't care about you, what are you going to do?"
"I don't want to either. He insists on breaking up. I can't find him. I just found out he went abroad. What should I do?"
"You have to beg him to change his mind! If you do this, you should quickly ask everyone who knows him where he has gone and then fly over to find him. I don't care what happened between you two. You can apologize or beg, but you must not break up. Otherwise, Ji Yawei, your career in the entertainment industry will have reached its peak, and it will all go downhill from now on."
Ji Yawei felt very uncomfortable. Her agent had never spoken to her in such a tone before, as if she was nothing without Mo Haofeng. She raised her head with a grim expression and frowned, "What do you mean? Do you treat me like one of those little lovers? What's the point of apologizing and begging? Haofeng never found resources for me before. Is it that if he resigns, I'm done for?"
The agent laughed in anger, "You really are a rich girl who is ignorant of the ways of the world. Didn't President Mo find you any resources? His relationship with you is obvious. You can choose any resources in the company. Otherwise, do you think you became the top lady of the company based on your real ability? You starred in a movie directed by a famous director. Didn't you see how gloomy the director's face was during your audition? Why did he still use you in the end? Because it was invested by President Mo!"
Just now, the PR department asked you to go through the process, and Secretary Li called you Miss Ji. Don't you understand? Without President Mo, you are no different from all the other stars. Your halo is gone, and you will no longer have any advantages. "
Seeing Ji Yawei pursing her lips in dissatisfaction, she added, "You'll be thirty next year. Do you know what it means for a female celebrity to turn thirty if her work isn't solid? It means you'll be playing aunties, mothers, supporting roles, and you'll have to fight for those roles. You won't have a chance to be the lead, and you won't have a chance to win good endorsements. Your fame will plummet. Do you understand?"
The agent took a deep breath. "Think about it carefully. You don't have the power to act arbitrarily. I'll go through the process. Regardless, public opinion is extremely unfavorable to you, and this must be dealt with immediately. Also, you'll have to pay for the removal of the trending search. Be prepared. No one will pay you anymore."
As her agent, she was the first to notice Ji Yawei's financial changes. The card she used to use was gone, and she hadn't been to any clubs recently. At first, she thought Ji Yawei was upset about her relationship and didn't feel like going out, but now she understood that Ji Yawei would have to rely on herself from now on.
The agent went to coordinate with various departments, while Ji Yawei began to search through her circle of friends. Apart from Tao Rui and the Mo family, no one else could ask about Mo Haofeng's whereabouts.
She tried to ask Mo Haofeng's assistant, and sure enough, the assistant said he couldn't explain it clearly.
She hesitated for a while, holding the phone, and called Tao Rui from the office phone.
As soon as Tao Rui answered the phone, she immediately softened her voice and said, "Tao Rui, I was wrong about what happened in the past. I'm sorry. Please help me."
Tao Rui was amused by her and laughed out loud, "What are you thinking? Your fans are still scolding me, and you want me to help you?"
Ji Yawei choked up and said, "Tao Rui, you know, I can't control what those people say and do. I have never said a bad word about you. I am desperate now, and no one can help me, Tao Rui..."
"Desperate? You've become just an ordinary person, right? You're even living a better life than many ordinary people. How can you be considered desperate? Sorry, I don't know you very well, so it's not your turn to do charity. For something like help, you should find someone you know."
Tao Rui laughed maliciously and said, "By the way, don't you have a lot of friends? The housekeeper told me that you often went to the club with your friends and took a cruise out to sea."
Ji Yawei's throat choked. Were those friends really friends? Did she want a better life than the average person? Her family hadn't been in dire straits for a few days after bankruptcy, yet she was feeling miserable now?
She knew that she couldn't communicate with Tao Rui, so she quickly asked, "Where is Haofeng? Just tell me where Haofeng is."
"Oh, I don't know." Tao Rui said and hung up the phone.
Ji Yawei felt that her heart ached with anger every time she spoke to Tao Rui. Tao Rui after losing his memory was completely different from before. He was so annoying!
Ji Yawei didn't get anything out of Tao Rui, so she had no choice but to try calling Mo Haofeng's mother.
She took a deep breath and said as gently as possible, "Auntie, I'm Yawei."
"Oh, Yawei, I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you okay?" Mother Mo's voice was filled with laughter and looked very loving, which made Ji Yawei feel relieved.
She smiled and said, "I'm fine. I've just been too busy lately and haven't been to see you and uncle. I'm sorry. Are you and uncle in good health?"
"We are all fine. Young people should work harder. You don't need to come to see us. If you have time, work harder."
"Well, I'll try my best." Ji Yawei thought for a moment and asked, "Auntie, can you tell me where Haofeng went? We, we have a little misunderstanding. Haofeng is in a bad mood. I plan to go find him."
Mother Mo said slowly, "Oh, about this. When Haofeng left, he specifically told us not to look for him. He went on a world tour. Who knows where he is now? I didn't ask.
I know what happened between you two. It's Haofeng who's wrong. He's inconsiderate, never tells you what he does, and doesn't care enough about you. I've scolded him, but how could he treat his girlfriend like this?
He knew he'd let you down and delayed you for several years, only realizing it wasn't right so late. So he took some money from me and helped you pay off your debts, which was a small compensation. From now on, Yawei, find someone who cares about you and live a good life. Don't imitate others' extravagant spending.
Ji Yawei felt her face flush, and she replied twice in embarrassment before hanging up. She was incredibly concerned with her reputation, and being slammed by Mo's mother was like being slapped in the face. Even though she knew the secretary couldn't hear the call, she felt mortified and hurriedly left the company, bag in hand.
When Mo Haofeng said that his parents knew about it, she thought he was just trying to scare her. Unexpectedly, Mo Haofeng actually told his parents about it.
She thought of how Mo Haofeng once said that all the money was invested and there wasn't much liquid capital, so was he saying that just to get money from his parents?
Although Mother Mo kept saying that Mo Haofeng was wrong, she knew that Mother Mo must look down on her. The fact that she had spent 4 billion on another man was enough to make a mother feel uncomfortable.
She couldn't understand why something so small turned out like this?
Mo Haofeng had spent just as much as she had over the past five years. Why hadn't they considered that she had been accustomed to this kind of life since she was a child and couldn't change her spending habits all of a sudden?
Ji Yawei's mind was in a mess. She didn't know what she was thinking. She just felt that these people were making a big deal out of nothing. What was 4 billion yuan to the Tao and Mo families? They clearly didn't care about the money, so why wouldn't they forgive her?
Mother Mo also said that she was extravagant, but Mother Mo spent 500 million to attend an auction a few days ago. Why did she say that she was extravagant?
Didn't Tao Rui also buy Fang Sitong a villa and a car? Tao Qi even made a special suggestion to Fang Sitong.
Compared with Fang Sitong, isn’t the Mo family too indifferent to her?
She just didn't want the Mo family to look down on her, so she accepted the help of a "brother". Was she wrong? The only thing wrong was that Tao Rui lost his memory and came to pick a fight with her!
Ji Yawei refused to admit she was wrong, so she felt everyone had wronged her. Or perhaps she already resented Mo Haofeng for not mentioning marriage and the Mo family for not officially recognizing her. At this point, her resentment boiled over, and she felt even more strongly that they were all responsible for everything that had happened. If the Mo family had given her enough security, she wouldn't have needed Tao Rui at all.
She couldn't help but laugh at herself when she thought of Fang Sitong, who was still the boss of Mutong Entertainment. Mo Haofeng had been in charge of the entertainment company for three years. Had he ever considered bringing her in as a boss? It was simply the Mo family who had wronged her.
However, even if she complained about everything, it wouldn't affect anyone else. Tao Rui and Fang Sitong went to a candlelight dinner, enjoying their sweet time. Mo Haofeng's parents continued to work and have fun, feeling a little happy that their son had broken up.
As for Mo Haofeng, he turned off his original mobile phone and changed to a new number to contact only his parents and Tao Rui. He decided not to pay attention to anything in the country and joined a tour group to travel with everyone.
Ji Yawei seemed to be the only one feeling so miserable that she was on the verge of collapse, but as Tao Rui had said, she wasn't completely lost. She'd simply lost her support and backing. If she faced her status squarely, became a top-tier celebrity, and used her wealth to live her own life, she could still live better than most.
It's just that she couldn't stand it because she wanted to live the life of a top-class wealthy family.
Her agent was frantically cleaning up the mess, and the online public opinion was suppressed, seemingly calm, so Ji Yawei didn't feel any difference from before. She was still trying to find a way to contact Mo Haofeng, and even wanted to turn down the notice, but her agent, already sensing a crisis, urged her to complete the contract and sent her back to Hengdian to focus on filming.
That drama had already begun filming while Fang Sitong was still filming. Now that Fang Sitong had finished, Ji Yawei had been flying back to Beijing frequently due to relationship issues, taking several days off, and filming was progressing slowly. Now that she had no one to rely on, her agent followed her around the set, keeping an eye on her every day, making sure she didn't get any mention of her acting as a big shot or offending the crew.
At the same time, Fang Sitong also started shooting endorsement advertisements for Dow Group. There were a total of twelve endorsements, all of which required shooting still photos and short story video advertisements. The shooting lasted for more than two months.
One of the jewelry endorsements was previously endorsed by Ji Yawei, which was given by the original owner. This time, it was taken back and replaced by Fang Sitong.
Ji Yawei's fans now regard Tao Rui and Fang Sitong as their rivals. They can't stand seeing Fang Sitong snatching the endorsement from their idol, so they put on their armor and started to fight.
Tao Rui only posted one sentence: [This is my endorsement, I give it to whoever I want. Tongtong deserves it.]
Many people laughed like crazy!
[God damn, Tongtong is worthy! I'm about to be brainwashed by this sentence, hahaha. The opposite is that Ji Yawei is not worthy!]
[The saying "give it to whoever you love" is really clever. It means that it was Tao Rui who gave Ji Yawei the chance to endorse Tao Jewelry!]
Don't you think this is just another rip-off? All of Dow Group's endorsements, ladies, all of them! Tongtong suddenly has twelve more high-quality endorsements. Oh my god, this is so frustrating!
What a fantastic boyfriend! He instantly traded all the family business endorsements for his girlfriend. You want fame, I'll support you. So cool!
[I have that feeling of Tianliang Wangpo. When I read the novel again, I have a new image in my mind. Tao Rui is really the standard of a domineering president, haha]
[Why Tao Rui? Isn't the real boss Tao Rui's brother?]
[But his brother is a super elite, what does that have to do with being a domineering CEO? Only Tao Rui looks like a domineering CEO, no rebuttal allowed!]
I suddenly worry that one day Tao Rui will say, "I've taken over the entertainment industry!" Haha ...
Ji Yawei remained silent, leaving her fans to speak out. Then, the PR department at Mutong Entertainment had a marketing account release a rumor claiming that Fang Sitong had already secured a skincare endorsement deal a few months earlier, but Ji Yawei suddenly signed the deal after her "Little Red Potato" trended. When it comes to grabbing endorsements, who's the real winner?
Tao Jewelry and Ji Yawei terminated their contract, but according to the contract, they paid liquidated damages. Tao and every previous spokesperson terminated their contracts peacefully, and there were no disputes.
So in this incident, Dow didn't say anything at all. But the former spokesperson was afraid that his fans would offend Dow, so he came out and posted on Weibo @ Dow and Fang Sitong, basically saying thank you for the previous cooperation and wishing the new spokesperson and Dow all the best.
The spokespersons spoke in gentle tones, clearly willingly accepting the offer. It was impossible for them to be snatched away from the role. This made Ji Yawei particularly baffled. What was going on? Was she the only one feeling wronged?
If peacefully changing the spokesperson is considered snatching, then there were other people endorsing Tao Jewelry before Ji Yawei. Could it be considered that she snatched it from someone else?
It was only at this time that the agent logged into Ji Yawei's account and posted a similar Weibo, but she was one step late, and it felt wrong. It seemed like she was using fans as a gun to gain popularity.
Ji Yawei's agent was also feeling distressed. She hadn't expected fans to see Fang Sitong as a rival. They went ballistic the moment they heard the news. While she was thinking about countermeasures, the internet turned into this. This was completely uncontrollable.
However, netizens only believed what they saw, and their impression of Ji Yawei was even worse. There was even a small group of Ji Yawei's fans who disliked the bickering and simply stopped following her because they felt it was too timid.
Of course, many people online have questioned Tao's decision. Even if Fang Sitong is one of their own, there is no need to replace all the spokespeople, right? Fang Sitong is not big enough and seems unworthy of Tao.
It was not until various advertising endorsements were released that such voices became smaller and almost disappeared.
This time, all the creative ideas for the endorsement advertisements were tailor-made for Fang Sitong by Tao Rui's team. Whether it was the dress, the scenery or the plot, they were all most suitable for her appearance and temperament, so the effect of the advertisements was much better than before.
Furthermore, Fang Sitong is incredibly popular. Even if she hasn't produced any works yet, popularity is king in this era of spokespersons. Her ability to secure all of Tao's endorsements further proves she's the Tao family's acknowledged future young mistress. The Tao family's future young mistress' endorsement of Tao's products is incredibly popular. Could anyone be closer to the company than her?
It was the end of the year, and the entertainment industry was starting to hold various awards and events. Fang Sitong won the Most Commercially Valuable Award of the Year.
Heizi said angrily: [She is cheating. More than a dozen of them are high-level endorsements, and they were all given to her by her boyfriend. How can she be awarded?]
Others laughed out loud: "Tao Rui said that reincarnation is also a form of strength. So Tongtong's ability to have a fantastic boyfriend is also a sign of strength. Don't be jealous, don't be jealous. The endorsement fee is indeed going into Tongtong's pocket. She is indeed the most commercially valuable person this year."
Someone even joked with Tao Rui, saying, "Mr. Rui, are you still looking for a mistress? You just want to be a playboy."
Then, this Weibo post unexpectedly received a reply from Tao Rui: [I don’t need any, I just want Tongtong. Tongtong is worth it.jpg]
The reply was filled with hahahahahahahahaha. Tao Rui even knows how to use emoticons now. The proud look on his face coupled with the four words "Tongtong deserves it" was inexplicably funny and made netizens laugh.
From then on, people would often say "XX is worth it" when chatting or commenting. Tao Rui single-handedly made a popular internet term popular.
After six months of "testing the waters," Tao Rui and Fang Sitong's relationship has finally gained recognition online. No one says they're just playing around anymore; everyone basically believes they're truly in love and are likely planning to get married. They've become synonymous with sweet love.
A well-known dating reality show sent an invitation, hoping that Tao Rui and Fang Sitong could participate, saying that the program has very few restrictions and can capture their true selves.
Tao Rui discussed it with Fang Sitong and rejected it outright. For the previous three or four months, apart from filming commercials and endorsements, he had been studying acting and occasionally taking a break for fun.
Fang Sitong felt particularly uneasy. She loved acting, not being a star. Only when she felt her acting skills had significantly improved could she truly feel a sense of accomplishment. The sheer volume of commercials was enough to boost her popularity, so right now she only wanted to film and not participate in reality shows.
Somehow this news got out, and many people @ them online, which made me feel so sorry.
Tao Rui dotes on Tongtong so much online. I really want to see how they get along in real life.
[Hehe, maybe in real life, Tao Rui is a young master, and Fang Sitong serves him in everything. After all, their statuses are not equal.]
[WSN, get lost! The Qing Dynasty is gone! Are you still struggling to adapt to society after traveling back in time? Tongtong has strong professional skills, okay?]
Who is Tao Rui? Is there a need for his online persona to be different than his real persona? I bet he's the same person in real life as he is online. Would a rich young man pretend? Weird logic.
[Ah, what a pity! I want to see Tongtong filming, but I also want to see Tongtong and Ruishao fall in love. I want to eat some sweet candy.]
"It would be great if Rui Shao and Tong Tong could film an idol drama. Rui Shao, if you see me, you can write your own script and invest in filming it all in one package. I want to see your own idol drama."
[Exclusive idol drama +1 Rui Shao saw us! ]
Tao Rui actually saw it. He stroked his chin and pondered in the office, "Exclusive idol drama? It's quite interesting. I might give it a try."
Tao Rui called Fang Li over and instructed him, "Go recruit a team of screenwriters with experience writing idol drama scripts. They should be responsible for writing the scripts. Then, I will write the script and let them give me guidance."
"Okay, then I'll find at least two script teachers."
"Okay. You arrange it."
The writing team quickly arrived; that was the joy of being a rich, overbearing CEO. After that, Tao Rui spent every day in the conference room writing scripts with them, while Fang Sitong went to film the set.
Filming was taking place in Beijing, so Tao Rui didn't join the crew, but he often picked up Fang Sitong. Fang Sitong was well-equipped with a full team. When she went out, her driver doubled as her bodyguard, and she also had an assistant and a makeup artist. They were all experienced and well-mannered, and they got along well with Fang Sitong, allowing her to relax and unburden herself from worrying about anything else but filming.
This was Tao Rui's first time writing a script, and he was a little confused. So he simply wrote down the plot he had in mind, and then the two teachers gave him guidance, telling him which parts were useless nonsense, which parts were difficult to film, which parts were more pleasing and would become the audience's memory, etc.
Only then did Tao Rui realize that writing a script involves so many details. It's not something that anyone can write just by thinking of a story. It's much more difficult than writing a novel.
He used to work in the entertainment industry and has devoted his life to studying acting. He has studied countless scripts. After being guided by the screenwriters, he quickly understood the key points and got the hang of it. He learned much faster than others.
Because it is an idol drama, the overall style cannot be too serious or too funny, and the degree must be well grasped. Tao Rui often writes for a whole day, and in the end only a small paragraph can be used.
But not only did he not feel annoyed, he even found fun in it.
He had never thought about studying anything else in his life except completing missions, but now he found that writing scripts was quite fun, so he decided to put more energy into it. He didn't say how to write it well, but at least he had to learn how to write it and write a satisfactory one.
So every day when Fang Shitong went to film, he went to the company to write the script. In the evening, he picked up Fang Shitong and took her home for dinner. The two of them would talk about the script and filming, sharing their joys and troubles with each other. It was actually very interesting, and it seemed even better than before when they were sticking together.
Every day Fang Sitong would read Tao Rui's new scripts and encourage him. Tao Rui would also rehearse with Fang Sitong, honing the parts she was unsure of until she could handle them with ease. Every day, they lived a fulfilling life.
Just like this, another two months passed. When everyone started to take holidays for the Chinese New Year, Fang Sitong's play was completed and Tao Rui's script was also finished!
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Tao Rui took a photo of the cover of his compiled script and posted it on Weibo: [After two months, I finally finished writing my first script. Who said I wanted to watch my own idol drama? Waiting for it.]
As soon as this Weibo post was released, netizens who had originally wanted to watch the exclusive idol drama left excited messages, saying that they didn't expect Tao Rui to actually see it and put it into action. What was even more shocking was that Tao Rui actually wrote the script himself. This was definitely tailor-made for them, and they must watch it!
Mu Tong CP fans are even more excited. Whose CP fans are as happy as them? The official still sends sugar frequently, and never mixes in glass shards. This belief is simply too happy.
Some people questioned: "Tao Rui wrote the script himself? Is that true? Will this movie be good?"
Tao Rui's fans laughed and said, "Of course I can't read what you wrote. If it wasn't good, would he show it to me?"
[This is my first time writing a script, and it only took two months to finish. How good can it be? The ratings will teach me a lesson.]
[You've opened your third eye? We'll talk about the future later. Right now, I just want to cheer and celebrate. Isn't Rui Shao taking his fans' words too seriously? This drama must be filmed soon. I'm calling my friends to watch it together!]
The filming has been confirmed. Tao Rui and Fang Sitong have agreed to begin filming after the Lunar New Year. Filming their own idol drama will be a commemoration of their relationship, and it's fun and meaningful. It's the first job of the new year, so hopefully it'll be a good omen.
They spent the New Year at the Tao family's old house. Tao Qi also took a rare two-day holiday to spend time with them at home.
Tao Qi was very satisfied with Fang Sitong in every aspect and asked Tao Rui privately: "When do you plan to get married?"
