Chapter 26
In the plot, before the character Luo Jiayu joined the camp, the capital spent a lot of money to buy water army to create momentum, but he himself was actually a grassroots person and an out-and-out pauper. The only thing that stood out was his strong ambition to do something.
When he first entered the circle, he relied on a bit of luck and some inferior means to get close to some big men behind the scenes. As a result, he was domineering in the circle for a few years, and all the evil things he did became his criminal record, making many trainees who had heard of his deeds wary of this name.
But things change. Just one week before entering the camp, those so-called backstage companies ran into problems with the Wei Group's business. Some went bankrupt, some went bankrupt, and those who survived all chose to withdraw their investment, causing this character to become penniless all of a sudden. This was also a factor in the company's abandonment from the debut list and sending him here.
He is a poor guy, but he still has some strength. His ancestors were rich, and he is a skinny camel that is bigger than a horse but not much bigger.
So now Luojia Island is penniless, and there are a lot of landmines planted by the original owner buried under its feet. It is easy to step on them if you are not careful. The accumulated popularity bubble will soon burst one by one without continuous financial investment to build momentum, until the water army disappears completely and the country returns to the pre-liberation era overnight.
A very serious and precarious situation.
But there is still a glimmer of hope -
"Host, according to the plot, this call should be from the young master of the Deng Group. Although he is not your biggest financial backer, his business is the only one that has never clashed with the Wei Group, so he may be your last..."
The system nervously rapped through a long string of instructions in his head. Meanwhile, Luo Jiayu leisurely took the phone from the staff member, put it to his ear, and casually said:
"Hello?"
"Baby." An ambiguous low laugh came from the other end of the phone, "I miss you. You haven't come to serve me for three months."
"A life-saving straw..." The system finished the sentence with difficulty.
Upon hearing this, Luo Jiayu lowered his head and flicked the non-existent cigarette ash from his fingertips, then raised his head leisurely and opened his mouth to speak sweetly:
"I'm afraid I'll serve you to death, and your father's inheritance will only be left to the mistress."
system:"……"
The other party was immediately enraged: "What do you mean? Have you forgotten who transferred the money to you? How dare you talk to me like that?"
"Which money? Is it the money for your father's coffin?"
Smoking was not allowed in the audition camp, and Luo Jiayu felt a little regretful. After finishing his nails, he leaned against the wall and yawned boredly.
"Luo Jiayu, try saying it again!"
"The dog barks so much all day long that it can't even understand what people are saying," Luo Jiayu said slowly, "How pitiful."
There was a busy tone on the other end of the phone, and it seemed that he was so angry that he hung up.
Luo Jiayu casually raised his eyelids, opened his thin lips slightly, and uttered two words:
"Idiot."
"Okay, now we don't even have our last sponsor anymore." The system reported very calmly.
"Give him what he owes." Luo Jiayu stretched lazily with a hint of unsatisfied feeling. "Next time I catch you, I'll curse until his ancestors' graves turn to smoke."
"Do you know who he is?" asked the system.
Luo Jiayu stretched lazily halfway, a puzzled look on his face: "Who is he? Does it affect my scolding him?"
Do I need a reason to criticize something I just happened to see on the road?
The system said calmly: "It doesn't affect us. It's just that we are now poorer and more pure and unpretentious."
"They are all positive words, good things."
"I'm not poor!"
After returning the phone to the staff, Luo Jiayu went to Chu Yu's group's practice room to discuss with Lu Yiyang some optimization directions for stage positioning. After saying goodbye, he left and walked towards his own group's practice room.
"So, dear Lolo."
On the way back to the team's practice room, the system suddenly softened its voice, and its level of friendliness was comparable to that of Teacher Zhao, who was determined to take the kindergarten teacher certificate while working.
"Without the capital and the company's support, what are you going to do now?"
Luo Jiayu said righteously with a serious face: "Don't call me Luo Luo, it's like calling a dog."
"Got it." The system perfunctorily defended the pride of the young male college student who had just turned twenty, then continued with the previous question, "So what are you going to do now? Answer me."
As far as the book is concerned, the protagonist is the biggest asset. In order to highlight the protagonist's growth against the wind and his ability to stay clean, the background of the entertainment industry is set to be a mixed bag. All kinds of backdoors and relying on relationships are prevalent, and there is no fairness at all.
Apart from Jiang Chenglu who was able to rely on the aura of the protagonist to make a comeback and stand out among the pre-selected royals, most trainees cannot compete with capital no matter how strong their abilities or how popular they are if they do not have a background.
Luo Jiayu stopped in his tracks after hearing the system's question, leaning against the wall and pondering for a moment before confidently giving a high-quality answer: "I don't know."
“…” The system thought to itself, I fucking knew it.
"Take it one step at a time, adapt to circumstances, and having no plan is the best plan." Luo Jiayu sighed, "You're becoming more and more philosophical. I really am a genius."
"..." He had spoken all the words to him alone, and the system could do nothing but roll its eyes.
After returning to the practice room, the scene that greeted everyone and the system was this:
Little White Flower was blocked by the prince at the door, tears welling up in her red eyes. Their expressions were one stubborn and one forbearing. Through lip reading and plot timeline, we can analyze that they are probably bringing up old grudges.
"You don't have to pretend to cast that vote to support me. I've seen through you a long time ago." As Little White Flower spoke, his tone gradually became excited.
"Yes, I didn't know you were annoyed with me before, and I kept pestering you. It was my one-sided wishful thinking, but now I won't do that. I won't provoke you again, and there's no need for you to humiliate me with that vote as if it were a charity. I don't need it."
The line in the prime time drama is that you are short of a bucket of popcorn.
Luo Jiayu felt a little regretful. He turned around and saw Fu Hansong squatting at the door. He was watching the two protagonists quarreling while silently chewing an energy bar and drinking energy drinks.
Why didn't Ergou participate in the Shura Field? That's not what the plot says.
"Reporting to the host, according to the recent system assessment, the character Fu Hansong's mood swings are much greater than in the original book. He often becomes overly angry or sad, and he often doesn't know the reason. He is often disturbed by these drastic emotional fluctuations in the middle of the night, resulting in lack of sleep and poor mental health."
The system suddenly popped up and calmly explained, "—In short, he was hurt and no longer had the energy to pursue his original emotional path."
“…”
This is not my doing.
This shouldn't be what I did, right?
At this moment, a trainee who was still thinking about the love transaction during the day sneezed.
"Hey, buddy, give me one?" Luo Jiayu walked to Fu Hansong and squatted down without any sense of boundaries, then tried to beg for food cautiously.
Fu Hansong had two thick dark circles under his eyes and turned his head to look at him like a panda.
[Ding Dong, character Fu Hansong's favorability towards host Luo Jiayu has dropped by -10. Congratulations on getting your third character's exclusive short comment, from Fu Hansong: "Please be kind and stay out of my way."]
——Luo Jiayu wanted to laugh when he thought about the 0 that remained motionless after being deducted eight hundred times.
"Are you done?" Wei Ziyu listened quietly to his ex-lover venting his anger before ruthlessly grabbing Jiang Chenglu's wrist with such force that the latter pales. "What are you doing?"
According to the routine, the next step is to drag Niangniangjiangjiang into the woods and force him to do it, and then start the second crematorium.
Luo Jiayu turned his head and glanced at the camera set up in the practice room. He squinted one eye and compared it with his hand, estimating that the lens was at an angle that could just capture the tip of the iceberg of the two people.
I can't record any sound because I'm too far away, but I should be able to record wrist grabbing and wall-banging.
Luo Jiayu seemed to be lost in thought.
Can you let me take a look at the original novel in your library? He poked the system.
The system didn't say much and threw the book directly in front of him. The light blue electronic light screen just blocked the faces of the two protagonists.
He began to study with full concentration. Halfway through, he found that the air was suddenly quiet. When he came to his senses, the three people who were supposed to be in the Shura Field were now staring at him.
Since the characters here cannot see the e-book, from Wei Ziyu's perspective, Luo Jiayu was staring at himself and Jiang Chenglu, and it was unknown what he was planning in his mind.
The alarm bell for the male protagonist in the crematorium suddenly rang, and for some reason, there was always a voice like a sixth sense telling him that the person in front of him had a good impression of Jiang Chenglu and would pose a threat to him.
Even though Luo Jiayu did not follow the original plot at all and did not show any signs of this, the prince was still as protective of his food as a furry cat.
So he glared at Luo Jiayu and said sternly, "What are you looking at?"
Luo Jiayu first glanced at Jiang Chenglu, then returned his gaze to him, his eyes filled with three parts of coldness, four parts of ridicule, and five parts of indifference, but he said as always, "Look at you two."
The prince was angry.
The way he looks at people is different. He really wants to steal my wife!
The prince of the Beijing circle was not wrong. A prince of the Zhejiang circle was indeed very hostile to him, but it was not because of emotional problems.
Thus, the forced plot in the grove was ruined. Jiang Chenglu stared in amazement as Wei Ziyu grabbed Luo Jiayu with one hand and pulled him towards the dead corner at the stairs.
After arriving at the destination, Wei Ziyu grabbed the collar of the person in front of him, his eyebrows raised, his voice and eyes so cold that they could almost freeze:
"I'm warning you, stay away from him."
Since Luo Jiayu was 1.76 centimeters taller than him, he couldn't lift the person and felt a little embarrassed.
But he couldn't lose his momentum. He continued to glare at me coldly, gritting his teeth like a boss: "If you dare... I will never let you go..."
Luo Jiayu interrupted him and suddenly asked, "What business does your family run?"
"Ah?" Wei Ziyu didn't react. "Real estate, what's wrong?"
"You are the eldest brother, so you don't have any other brothers in your family, right?"
"yes."
"You're just going to date right here?" Luo Jiayu narrowed his eyes, his frustration instantly erupting. "Don't you have to study, deliver goods, or help with the family business?"
Wei Ziyu didn't react for a long time why the topic turned to this point.
Luo Jiayu was still aggressive, one sentence after another, each one stronger than the six:
"Didn't your dad make you memorize New Concept English when you were in kindergarten? Are you still in a relationship?"
"You didn't study Mathematical Olympiad in elementary school? And you're still in a relationship?"
"How many points did you get in the high school entrance exam?"
"What was your score in the college entrance examination?"
"Didn't you go to cram school every day when you were studying?"
"Did you rank in the top 20% of your class last semester? Did you get a scholarship?"
"Have you taken the IELTS exam? Can you get a score of 7.5 or above?"
"Have you ever understood how your family's factory operates and how customers come to you?"
"When your father negotiates deals and entertains people, don't you follow him and learn?"
"You just sit here and play around, spending all day and night just talking about love?" Luo Jiayu said this, and uttered a soul-searching question:
"How do you sleep at your age?"
Wei Ziyu was stunned and kept his mouth open for a long time.
Luo Jiayu left angrily, leaving the prince of the Beijing circle as if he had been disconnected, thinking about his life for a long time.
