"Don't panic. I'll ask someone to find out the news from Strawberry Entertainment." Yao Shasha's publicity agent was unsure of what Strawberry Entertainment meant, so he quickly took out his cell phone and contacted a friend who knew something about the situation.
After asking around, the agent looked puzzled and said, "There's no news that Strawberry Entertainment has signed Li Zhao."
"Then why are they joining in this fun? Are they doing charity?" After being shocked and furious, Yao Shasha spoke without restraint: "Even if it is a big company, it still has to follow the rules."
According to common sense, if there is no conflict of interest between the two parties, they generally will not meddle in other people's affairs. She and Li Zhao are just two 18th-tier web drama actors. What could happen to them that could hinder Strawberry Entertainment?
"Don't be so quick to scold me. Think about whether you have offended anyone from Strawberry Entertainment recently?" The agent thought more than Yao Shasha and did not dare to offend Strawberry Entertainment.
"I would like to offend them, but I have to have a chance to meet them." Yao Shasha cursed in a low voice: "What should I do now?"
"Don't make any comments online for now, and remove all the notices that have been sent out if possible." Seeing Yao Shasha's face change with fear, the agent comforted her, "The show hasn't finished airing yet, Li Zhao won't make things too awkward. If a reporter asks about this later, just say it's just hearsay and that you and Li Zhao are just ordinary friends."
Now is the information age, and netizens are exposed to a lot of interesting news. Things that are easily forgotten will be forgotten within a few days.
He clicked on Li Zhao's agent's Weibo and saw what Zhang Xiaoyuan had posted a few hours ago.
The agent felt unhappy when he thought that the other party had long been on guard against bundling them for hype. It would be beneficial for both parties to hype up the drama when it was aired and increase the traffic. Why make his own artist look like a chaste heroine?
Having lost face in the industry, Yao Shasha dared not take any further action and silently reposted Zhang Xiaoyuan's Weibo, saying that these were all rumors and that she and Li Zhao were just ordinary friends.
However, netizens soon discovered that after Yao Shasha's studio reposted Zhang Xiaoyuan's Weibo, Zhang Xiaoyuan neither responded to the studio's comments nor reposted the studio's Weibo. Anyone could see that Yao Shasha was performing a one-man show.
Netizens who originally did not understand the cause and effect suddenly saw the trick in this matter and mocked Yao Shasha. There are also fans of Li Zhao who left messages in the comment section of Zhang Xiaoyuan's Weibo, saying that Zhang Xiaoyuan should make amends for his crime and should temporarily leave the entertainment industry on his own.
"Zhang Xiaoyuan is such a strong man, you must protect our baby well."
"Brother Xiaoyuan, remember to go back and tell your son that the women down the mountain are tigers. Don't pick the wild flowers on the roadside, and don't let the wild flowers pick them."
"My baby's home photos are so delicious. I want to do something uncivilized to him below the neck. I also want to wear the same pajamas as my baby, which means I will sleep with my baby."
"Brother Xiaoyuan, running a noodle shop is not fun. You won't make much money even if you work from dawn to dusk. Don't take your son down the wrong path!"
Zhang Xiaoyuan was speechless as he silently read the comments in the comment section. He couldn't get over the joke of taking Li Zhao to quit the entertainment industry and open a noodle restaurant. He pushed Li Zhao, who was lying on the sofa playing with his phone, and said, "Zhao Zhao, let's go to the station to record the show tomorrow. I'll go with you."
The half-grown kid is always being targeted by shameless people.
"We have to leave early tomorrow morning. You haven't been able to rest well for several nights in a row because you have been helping me collect information from various companies." Li Zhao put away his phone: "It's okay, I can go alone."
Zhang Xiaoyuan thought that he still had people from several companies to interview, so he did have some time to arrange it.
"Then you should be more careful." Zhang Xiaoyuan did not have much experience in dealing with TV program teams, so he could only remind him to be careful with his words and actions and be more cautious.
He was worried when his artists were not popular, and he was still worried when they gained some popularity. He also has to be responsible for negotiating various subsequent collaborations, as he is afraid that he will be too busy and delay Li Zhao's development.
It is necessary to determine Zhaozhao's development path as soon as possible and to form a professional work team. Imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel. Zhao Zhao is now... penniless.
"Brother Xiaoyuan." Li Zhao noticed that Zhang Xiaoyuan had been under great psychological pressure these past two days, and advised him, "Don't think too much. Last year, I was able to make a good living as a supporting actor or a stand-in on the crew. Now it can't be worse. If we really can't make it, we can go back and open a noodle shop."
"Don't even think about opening a noodle shop." Zhang Xiaoyuan shuddered. When he heard the word "noodle shop", he thought of the overwhelming topic #Zhang Xiaoyuan get out of the entertainment industry alone#.
Li Zhao giggled and took out his cell phone to read the WeChat message sent by Yan Ting.
Yan Ting: You are an actor, is the place you live in safe?
Although he had gained some popularity on the Internet, few people recognized Li Zhao when he went out. At most, some girls thought he was good-looking and would secretly look at him.
Good luck to you: It's safe for now.
Yan Ting: Arrange the move as soon as possible. I have a lot of houses here, you can choose one to live in.
Zhao Zhao Hao Yun Lai: How can that be? Brothers should settle accounts clearly. I can’t take advantage of you.
Yan Ting: There are many houses for the demolished households.
Li Zhao: ...
Li Zhao: Oh, oh, I’m going to develop a hatred of the rich disease.
Staring at the three words "嘤嘤嘤" for a long time, Yan Ting's expression was unprecedentedly solemn.
"Sir, what happened?" Qin asked, "Does it need to be dealt with as soon as possible?"
"It's okay." Yan Ting turned the phone over and placed it upside down on the table.
The program "You Are with Me" of Xiangguo TV has been launched for nearly ten years and has always been popular with the audience. Even though television ratings are now impacted by online streaming platforms, "With You" is still the program group that many popular film and television works most want to visit when promoting them.
Originally, they had invited a popular group as the guest for this episode. Unfortunately, a few days ago, a member of this popular group was involved in negative news, so the program team had to temporarily replace the guests and let the creative team of "The Boss Girl" fill in the gap.
The program team often invites big names from all walks of life to participate in the recording, and they are very familiar with hosting such internet celebrity crews, and they don’t even take it too seriously.
However, the main creators of "The Boss" arrived at the TV station very early, and the crew also prepared a welcome gift for the program staff. Even Song Yu, who was usually the most arrogant, became much more restrained after arriving at Xiangguotai.
Before the recording, the production crew filmed promotional footage for the three main actors. Li Zhao wore a white shirt, held a book in his hand, and smiled at the camera: "Today, do you want to go to the library with me to read? If you don't understand any questions, I can teach you, okay?"
The cameramen of the program were very satisfied; good-looking boys are always popular no matter what they are photographed with.
While Li Zhao was taking pictures, Yao Shasha, who had been waiting nearby, took the initiative to step forward and talk to Li Zhao. Before she could get close to him, Li Zhao took several steps back, moving like a god.
When the other main creative staff of "The Boss Girl" saw this funny scene, they all turned their heads away and pretended not to see it. If it were a few months ago, maybe someone would come out to "kindly teach" Li Zhao how to get along with his seniors, but today, other people in the crew no longer want to offend Li Zhao.
Everyone in the crew saw how Yao Shasha tied Li Zhao up for publicity. The only thing that was surprising was that Yao Shasha suddenly stopped. A woman like Yao Shasha would give up so easily on such a good thing of riding on the popularity. There must be other reasons behind it.
Song Yu sat next to them with a sour face. His attitude towards Yao Shasha and Li Zhao was always the same, that is, he hated them.
"Teacher Yao, it's your turn." The cameraman's words relieved Yao Shasha's embarrassment. Li Zhaozhuan took the opportunity to sneak out of the house, found the bathroom, and washed off the foundation that he accidentally rubbed off on the back of his hand when he was making up.
After adjusting the collar of his shirt in front of the mirror, he hid in the bathroom for a while before walking out.
However, no matter how hard he tried to hide, he still couldn't escape Yao Shasha's pursuit.
"Li Zhao." Seeing Li Zhao coming out, Yao Shasha, who had been waiting outside for a long time, put out the cigarette in her hand and looked at Li Zhao lazily: "The show will start recording in half an hour. We can talk for a while."
"This... I don't think it's necessary." Li Zhao stood there without moving, and even took a step back silently, as if he was going back to the men's room.
This is the bathroom exclusively for guests. In order to respect the privacy of the guests, the staff generally will not come here.
"Heh." Yao Shasha sneered: "Do you know what is the most important thing to survive in this circle?"
Li Zhao looked at her without saying a word, his eyes became extremely complicated, and then he silently, silently clasped his hands across his chest, like a young girl who had fallen into a wolf's den.
"People should know how to be tactful, especially the younger generation who are ignorant." Yao Shasha lifted the curly hair on her shoulders: "Unless you can always step on other people's shoulders in this life, otherwise..."
"Sister Shasha, by being tactful, do you want me to open the door for you in the hotel in the middle of the night, or to cooperate with your hype?" Li Zhao smiled like a pure and innocent child: "But I'm an actor, the kind who sells my art but not my body."
"Okay." Yao Shasha sneered: "If you have the ability, you can be so principled all your life."
Kids who have just entered the circle always think that they can do whatever they want after they become a little popular. Only when you are beaten by society will you understand the difficulties and rules of this circle.
"It doesn't matter whether I have principles or not." Li Zhao smiled with his eyebrows curved: "At worst, I can go home and open a noodle shop."
Yao Shasha sneered. Once entering this world of fame and fortune, who could resist the temptation of the glittering stars?
"Since you want to open a noodle shop so badly, why don't you get out of the entertainment industry right now?" Yao Shasha made no secret of her hostility towards Li Zhao: "How can someone like you who has done nothing and hasn't even been to college be more popular than any of us?!"
“Maybe…” Li Zhao smiled, as if he couldn’t see Yao Shasha’s disgust towards him: “Everything is determined by fate. We have no control over it.”
Yao Shasha was so angry that her hands were shaking. Why didn’t she realize that Li Zhao’s words were so irritating before when they were on the crew?
"Okay, okay!" Yao Shasha's face twisted: "Now that you have a little popularity, you are so arrogant that you don't know who you are. Didn't anyone at home teach you what grace is?"
Hearing the words "no one at home", the smile on Li Zhao's face faded: "Yes, they died early and didn't have time to teach me."
Yao Shasha: “…”
What is churning in my chest?
It was her frustration and anger.
Ta-da, ta-da, ta-da.
The sound of leather shoes rubbing against the ground came from the corridor. Yao Shasha instantly suppressed her anger and showed her signature smile.
Once you enter this line of work, you have no control over your joy or sorrow.
"I'm sorry for disturbing you." Song Yu crossed his arms, leaned against the wall and looked at the two people with a squint, not showing any embarrassment at all: "The show has started recording, what are you doing standing at the toilet door, doing performance art?"
Yao Shasha turned around and walked away. After taking two steps, she suddenly turned around and looked at Li Zhao with eyes full of hatred.
She could tolerate being ignored and alienated by big names, and even felt that this was the status of a big name. But Li Zhao was different. A poor boy who was inferior to her in every way should bow and scrape in front of her. Failure to do so would be an offense.
Meeting this pair of terrifying eyes, Li Zhao was stunned for a moment, then he broke into a brilliant smile.
Sometimes, to deal with an enemy, all you need is a smile to make her angry to death.
The author has something to say: Zhao Zhao: I am a crying monster.
Tingting: Weird, weird and cute.
