A fool has good fortune
"What are you looking at?" Chang Xue raised her hand and adjusted the coat on his shoulders. "Quickly recite the words."
"Oh, okay." Lu Xinyang put away his little arrogance and officially unfolded the note in his hand.
The first question was what he thought of the novel "Xianse", and the second question was what he thought of the other leading actor Wen Zhuo. The answers were very simple, he remembered them after just two glances.
"Just these few words?" Lu Xinyang sneered. Chang Xue said, "Stop talking nonsense and just recite it. You must follow what's written here and you can't change it up."
It would be a live broadcast later, and if something went wrong there would be no way to make up for it. Chang Xue was worried that he would fail at the critical moment, so she said anxiously, "Recite it again for me."
"The first problem is that the novel is very good. The author Rong Yu writes well and I like him very much. The second problem is that Wen Zhuo is an experienced senior. I want to work hard to become an excellent actor like him." Lu Xinyang raised his eyebrows, "Isn't that right?"
"I passed." Chang Xue breathed a sigh of relief. Lu Xinyang asked curiously, "Will Wen Zhuo also have to recite it later? What will his question be?"
She subconsciously looked at the cake next to her: "Almost the same as yours."
"Is he here? He..." Lu Xinyang looked around, seeing unfamiliar faces everywhere. He wanted to find Wen Zhuo, but found that he couldn't remember his appearance at all. "Uh, what color is he wearing today?"
"White," Chang Xue said, "Don't look, the person hasn't arrived yet."
Lu Xinyang walked to the window, parted the curtains and took a peek outside: "Are we late?"
Zhuoxing Media plans to invest in three well-known IPs this year, so there are more than a dozen actors attending the IP launch ceremony.
Later they will go up together to light the candles on the cake, and then the staff will cut the cake into small pieces and give them to the guests who come to the scene.
"Don't be so impatient," Chang Xue said calmly, "He will definitely come."
Wen Zhuo's life has been getting worse and worse over the past few years. He doesn't even have an agent. If Zhou Xiaoqing hadn't recommended him for the role in "The Color of the Fallen", he wouldn't even have had the chance to attend today's annual ceremony. So, even though he knew Chang Xue had arranged a path for him to be scolded, he had to come.
Just before leaving, Chang Xue avoided Lu Xinyang and made a phone call, not to confirm the event schedule of today's annual ceremony, but to confirm the "event schedule" she had arranged privately - the big cake that was about to be on stage was actually prepared for Wen Zhuo, and after lighting the candles, he would "accidentally" fall into the cake to make the headlines tonight.
The subsequent topics to be promoted have been arranged, and we just need to push them to the top of the hot searches. The next step is to hire internet trolls to issue press releases to promote "The Color" and Lu Xinyang's performance.
If someone wants to dig up Lu Xinyang's background in the future, she can push Wen Zhuo out to take the blame and say that he is the real background guy.
With the news of him deliberately falling into the cake, everyone would think that Wen Zhuo was more like someone who would do anything to get ahead, and that his bringing in money was more credible. And Lu Xinyang only needed to hide behind him quietly to preserve his clean reputation.
Chang Xue was very confident in his plan of killing three birds with one stone, but ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and Wen Zhuo's "horse" still did not show its head.
Lu Xinyang tossed the crumpled piece of paper up and down and said seriously, "Our teacher warns us every first day of school that being late or absent will result in our names being recorded."
Chang Xue: "..."
Standing up a class at the last minute is much more serious than skipping class, okay?
She was a little bit unable to keep calm, and clutched her cell phone, trying to find a quiet place to call someone. Unexpectedly, when she turned around, she saw the female host she knew walking towards them, followed by several staff members carrying cameras.
It's too late.
Lu Xinyang got a pen from somewhere and unfolded the slip of paper. He actually wrote the words "Wen Zhuo" and "truant" on it. Chang Xue rolled her eyes in anger and snatched his pen away: "You're still playing around during the live broadcast! Remember what I said, don't change your lines later!"
"Oh, okay." Lu Xinyang quickly stood at attention.
The female host first interviewed a few celebrities casually, and then walked towards Lu Xinyang casually.
The live broadcast of the Zhuoxing Annual Ceremony has now entered the commercial break, and many people have come over to watch the backstage footage.
【Hey, this boy is so handsome! 】
[It's a handsome guy, ready to lick it with your tongue]
The host glanced at the comments in the live broadcast room and greeted him with a smile: "Our audience seems to like you very much. Handsome guy, come and introduce yourself to everyone."
"Ah?" Lu Xinyang was stuck.
The note Sister Chang gave him didn't say he had to introduce himself, and he was scolded for posting his self-introduction on Weibo that day.
So he pulled out his phone and held up his Weibo post to the camera, leaned over and covered the microphone, whispering, "Hello everyone, my name is Lu Xinyang, and I'm introducing myself here. But if I tell you, my agent will scold me, so you guys should just read it quietly, and remember not to tell anyone."
host:"……?"
Chang Xue: “…………”
The phone screen was too close and blocked Lu Xinyang’s face, while the barrage of comments quickly drowned out the video content.
[What's that thing coming over here? Focus on it and let us see it!]
[He's a stupid handsome guy, so I licked him even more happily]
Who is this? Is he trying to get attention? I don't believe he'll get scolded unless his agent scolds him right in front of me right now.
Standing behind the host, Chang Xue glanced at the barrage of comments flying around in the live broadcast room and closed her eyes silently.
"Haha, you're such an interesting guy," the host had to give him a hint. "Which film are you in? Do you think you have a chance of winning an award today?"
Although Zhuoxing’s annual ceremony temporarily added an IP release, its essence is more like a company’s annual meeting, awarding awards to the film and television dramas and artists invested and produced by Zhuoxing this year. The numerous awards are better than nothing, which is simply called dividing the pork.
Lu Xinyang finally realized what he should say when introducing himself after hearing this, but it was too late. He could only say, "The TV series I'm starring in is called 'The Color of Trapped', and filming hasn't started yet."
The barrage suddenly changed its tone.
[What? Is it the color trap I know? ? ?]
【Mom, my house collapsed! 】
[His looks are decent, but his acting is meh?]
[You're obviously a newbie! Please don't ruin my white moonlight, okay?!]
Although Wen Zhuo hadn't arrived yet, Lu Xinyang felt that he shouldn't be left behind, and added, "I play the role of Fu Qianyu, and Bai Qingheng is played by Wen Zhuo, who has excellent acting skills."
The topic finally got back on track, and the host felt relieved and asked the question according to the protocol: "Then we would like to interview you now, may I ask..."
Lu Xinyang said without hesitation: "The novel is very good. The author Rong Yu writes well. I like him very much. Wen Zhuo is an experienced senior. I want to work hard to become an excellent actor like him."
host:"…………"
The pen in Chang Xue's hand fell to the ground with a click. She continued to close her eyes and raised her hands to cover her entire face.
Lu Xinyang didn't notice anything strange at all. He maintained a smile without showing his teeth, and was vaguely proud. He felt that his memory was indeed very good.
[Why are you rushing to answer? Do you think you don't respect the host?]
[It’s over, it’s over. I actually think he looks like our Husky.]
[It's over, it's over. How can a Husky play the domineering and cool Fu Qianyu in my mind? Kill me!]
Even the host, accustomed to grand occasions, felt a little distressed. However, since she was being paid, she had to insist on completing the process. "Where is your partner? What does he think of this?"
"He...um, he's..." Lu Xinyang looked at Chang Xue blankly, and found that the other party refused to accept his gaze, so his gaze, which had nowhere to go, began to sway from side to side.
The female host also realized something was wrong. Where were the two male actors? Why was there only one left with a brain failure? Where did the other one go?
She suddenly had an ominous premonition in her heart. This interview might become the most embarrassing one in her career, no doubt about it.
Chang Xue's face was ashen. She was about to interrupt the interview, but Lu Xinyang suddenly turned around and ran away without looking back.
host:"???"
"Hey!" Ji Rongyu, who was dragging his suitcase around the back of the hotel, had never expected Lu Xinyang to suddenly appear on the road. "Why are you here just now?"
"Ah?" Ji Rongyu was stunned at first, and then even more stunned when he recognized who he was. "Isn't the phone turned on yet? It's not too late to come today, right?"
Lu Xinyang actually remembered his reservation time and deliberately waited here for him? Does the son of the sponsor have so much free time?
"How can it not be too late? We started early. Let's go!" Lu Xinyang started to pull without saying anything, but it didn't move. He looked down and asked, "Why are you carrying a suitcase?"
Ji Rongyu was very confused, but he didn't forget to shake off his hand: "Shouldn't I take it?"
"Oh, this is the clothes you will wear later, right? In fact, you should change your clothes at home before coming here..." Lu Xinyang looked around him. Although the white sweatshirt and down jacket were very ordinary, he still looked very attractive. He recognized him at a glance.
However, in such a high-profile occasion, he didn't even try to show off with us. Instead, he came in warmly and changed into more suitable clothes. He has such a calm mindset!
Lu Xinyang looked at him with increasing admiration: "Then come quickly, I'll help you change clothes, I'm waiting!"
"No, who's waiting? What the hell are you doing?" Ji Rongyu didn't want to change clothes with him. He grabbed the suitcase and turned to leave. "It's inexplicable."
"Don't go, we are still broadcasting live!" Lu Xinyang didn't want to waste any more time, so he raised his hand and clapped his hands.
"Bang" - nothing happened.
Ji Rongyu: “?”
Lu Xinyang was slow to react. Oh, the driver was not there and no one was cooperating, so he had to do it himself.
He bent down and hugged Ji Rongyu, and before he could react, he lifted him onto his shoulders: "Don't move! Are you nervous? It's okay, Sister Chang will give you a little note later, just read it and it will be fine soon!"
"You're crazy!!!" Ji Rongyu screamed in fear, "Put me down!!!"
“Hey, don’t move!” Lu Xinyang held him down with both hands, not caring about the cool coat draped over his shoulders slipping to the ground. He turned around and walked back, “Our posture won’t look good if it’s recorded on the live broadcast! I’ll let you down when we get in later, you…”
Before he finished speaking, he met the dull gaze of the host behind him and the dark camera behind the host.
Lu Xinyang: “…Oh.”
That night, #路新悀蓉鱼# became a hot search.
Three hours later, Lu Xinyang, Ji Rongyu, Chang Xue and Tang Lin were all sitting in the hotel room, silently browsing their phones.
Silence is the cloud atlas 4401 tonight.
But it is definitely not Lu Xinyang and Ji Rongyu’s Weibo.
Ji Rongyu's Weibo was so lively that it seemed like Chinese New Year. His book fans were flooding the comment section with screenshots, enjoying themselves while slapping him in the face.
【Rong Yu: Showing my face is impossible, not in this lifetime.】
[Brother Rong, your life will pass in the blink of an eye.]
[It's the next life now, so could you please take the initiative to send a few photos? ]
[If I had known you were so handsome, I would have thrown more bombs at you! ]
[I'm new here, should I follow the procedure or give compliments directly?]
Let's break up. I don't want to be associated with a bunch of superficial people like you. From now on, those who only care about looks will be called Rong fans, and those who only care about the content will be called Yu fans. Let's part ways and live happily ever after.
【Fish meal is obviously for food】
What about those who read the article?
Who among those reading this would be a fan of him? He hasn't posted a new article in ages! He doesn't deserve fans!
Ji Rongyu put down his cell phone and pulled out a fruit knife. He placed it on the top of his head and made a few movements with it. His posture was standard and his hands were steady. He made one cut and then returned the knife to start over. This was the untimely end of his short life.
Chang Xue looked up at him expressionlessly, then lowered her head expressionlessly and continued to browse Lu Xinyang's Weibo.
This new Weibo account, which originally had only dozens of "friendly fans", is now flooded with a large number of onlookers who come here to watch. The stupid handsome guy with a short circuit in his brain has tens of thousands of fans in the blink of an eye. As a well-known gold medal agent in the industry, her role now is just to spend money to buy promotions on other platforms, taking advantage of this favorable trend to push Lu Xinyang's popularity to a higher level.
Looking at the rapidly increasing attention on Weibo, Chang Xue deeply understood the meaning of "man proposes, God disposes" and "fools have good fortune".
Agent Chang, who was severely fooled by fate, fell into deep thought: The road of being thrifty is not going to be easy anymore. Is it too late to change careers and study Laozi and Zhuangzi?
