Chapter 8: Revelations



Li Zhao and Zhang Xiaoyuan spent an entire night picking out an agency, only to find that most of the companies only issued blank checks. They did not care about Li Zhao's future development at all and only wanted to use his existing popularity and use his fans as money-making machines.

If Zhang Xiaoyuan had not seen artists who had just entered the entertainment industry being cheated, he would probably have believed these empty promises.

"There are many traps in the contract terms, so don't rush to sign it." Zhang Xiaoyuan opened Qingjiao Video: "There are currently 6 free episodes of this drama, and VIP members can watch 4 episodes in advance, which adds up to 10 episodes. In other words, there are a total of 35 episodes left to be broadcast. At an average update rate of two to four episodes per week, you can at least maintain the popularity of the drama for about two months. Let's not panic, there may be better options later."

"Okay." Li Zhao nodded: "I'll listen to Brother Xiaoyuan."

Zhang Xiaoyuan laughed: "Aren't you afraid that I will cheat you?"

"Don't worry, you helped me when I was penniless. At worst, I can start all over again." Li Zhao smiled generously: "Besides, I believe you won't cheat me."

"You will encounter a lot of problems when you become popular this time. You should use your brain to deal with things that are not your business." Zhang Xiaoyuan stood up and opened the refrigerator. He took out the packaged food box that Li Zhao brought back. After opening the lid, he looked at Li Zhao solemnly: "Zhao, did you win the lottery?"

You actually packed up such expensive dishes? !

"No, I met a friend a few months ago, and he treated us." Li Zhao poured the large bag of food into the plate: "We ordered too many dishes, and we couldn't finish them, so we packed them up and brought them back. These are untouched, so you can eat them without worry."

"I don't mind whether I eat or not. When we were the poorest, we could even live on steamed buns and pickles." Zhang Xiaoyuan went into the kitchen, turned on the fire, and started heating up the dishes: "Your friend is quite generous. He treated you to a meal and there are still so many dishes left. How generous!"

Li Zhao: “…”

He felt he was being personally attacked, but he had no evidence.

The long-awaited update of "The Boss Girl" has finally arrived. After they clicked on it excitedly, they found that there was a problem with the content. In the entire two episodes, there are many shots of the second male lead. Where is their cute baby Zhao Zhao?

Who wants to see the second male lead holding a wine glass or sitting in a car showing off? They just want to see the sweet love between the female boss and the gray guy!

Some netizens who were quite emotional went to the official Weibo of "The Boss Girl" to passionately express their condolences to the crew members, which prompted the official Weibo to personally explain that this was required by the plot, and also released a behind-the-scenes video of Li Zhao on the set.

In the behind-the-scenes footage, Li Zhao, soaked by the rain, walked to the camera position again and again. Later, erhu dubbing was added to the footage, which sounded particularly miserable.

Just when everyone was feeling extremely distressed, the camera suddenly accelerated, and everyone saw Li Zhao skipping out of the frame, picking up the milk tea on the table, and drinking it with a smile on his face.

The fans felt that their tears of heartache disappeared without a trace at this moment.

"My baby looks like a lotus flower emerging from the water when it rains. He is so beautiful that it makes my heart ache."

"Mother-in-law, I agree with you!"

"Get lost, I don't have a daughter-in-law!"

Everyone's dissatisfaction with the reduction in the male lead's plot was eased by the behind-the-scenes footage released by the official blog, but there was still one person who was particularly dissatisfied with this matter.

In "The Domineering Female Boss", Lu Renjia plays the childhood sweetheart who has a crush on the heroine. He doesn't have many scenes, but his character is very likable. The unexpected popularity of "The Boss Girl" made him very happy when he was still a student, but then he found that a lot of the plot related to him had been cut.

He indignantly read the comments under the play, and his anger grew stronger and stronger.

He endured his impatience for a while, but took a step back and felt his chest aching with anger. Lu Renjia tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. He took out his cell phone to check the comments online and found that his Weibo was deserted. There were only a few comments, and most of them were asking when Li Zhao would open a Weibo account and whether he could ask Li Zhao to open a Weibo account.

He took two deep breaths, replied to one of the comments, and chose to forward it.

Lu Renjia replied to Bear Baby: Ok, I’ll go ask for everyone [cute][cute] // Bear Baby: Brother Lu, can you help us ask when Zhao Zhaozaizai will open a Weibo account?

After forwarding this Weibo post, it quickly attracted the attention of many fans of the TV series. In less than half an hour, Lu Renjia's fans increased by nearly 10,000, which made him taste the sweetness. So he searched around on his phone and barely found two group photos with Li Zhao in them, and posted them on Weibo.

As soon as the photo was released, it attracted countless people's attention.

"Ahhh, my cub is so white and glowing."

"The cub is standing so well, like a primary school student taking graduation photos. My cub is the best cub in the world!"

"Thank you, Brother Lu, for sharing. I saved the photo."

This is the Weibo post that has received the most comments and likes since Lu Renjia opened his Weibo account. This makes him both proud and upset, because these people call him Brother Lu, but in their eyes and hearts, they only have Li Zhao.

Li Zhao, Li Zhao...

He had always looked down on Li Zhao because he had nothing but a good-looking face. Without any background, no resources, being poor and inexperienced, it is harder than climbing to the sky to make a name for yourself in the entertainment industry.

But no one expected that smoke would come out of Li Zhaozu's grave and that it actually became popular.

I wonder how many people in the crew regretted not having a good relationship with Li Zhao in the first place?

With mixed feelings in his mind, Lu Renjia clicked on the Weibo of Song Yu, the second male lead of the crew. Seeing his selfies pretending to be handsome and the lively comment section, he couldn't help but sneer.

Everyone knows that most of the cheering people below are paid internet trolls.

Thinking of Song Yu's actions that deliberately made things difficult for Li Zhao on the set, Lu Renjia's eyes dimmed. He switched to his own secondary account and clicked on a private message from a gossip marketing account.

Only when the male lead and the second male lead are in a mess does he have the opportunity to stand out.

In the weekend update, the main plot returned to the male and female protagonists. The official Weibo of "The Boss Girl" received another wave of praises, which moved the staff who managed the official Weibo very much, so they released three more behind-the-scenes footage of the crew.

Among the three highlights, only one is related to Li Zhao, and the number of views of this highlight is obviously several times higher than the other two.

Whether it is people in the industry or ordinary fans, they can see that the most popular person in this drama is Li Zhao, who plays the male lead.

Some manufacturers have seen these data and are ready to take action.

Just when fans of the drama were satisfied with the updated plot, a marketing account suddenly broke the news that Song Yu and Li Zhao were not getting along in the crew. Song Yu, relying on the fact that he was sent by the investors, was often late and left early, and even made Li Zhao wait for him to film with wet clothes.

Song Yu's fans were immediately dissatisfied and scolded the marketing account for talking nonsense. Song Yu was just the second male lead, how could he bully the first male lead in the crew?

Entertainment 888: Song’s fans please stop jumping around on my Weibo. I have a lot of solid evidence here. If you continue to make trouble, don’t blame me for continuing to expose more information.

Song Yu's fans were even more angry. Not only did they curse in the comment section, they also reported the marketing account's Weibo post for false information. The onlookers were happy to watch the fun and started to make a noise in the comment section, waiting for the fresh melons to drop.

When Song Yu's agent saw this Weibo post, he felt something was wrong. Song Yu is a new talent that the company is promoting. This marketing account is owned by a rival company, and the information revealed will definitely be disadvantageous to them.

In a hurry, he quickly contacted Song Yu and the public relations team to discuss countermeasures overnight.

"We don't know what the other party will reveal yet. The first thing we need to do is to contact Li Zhao's agent and ask them to help us clarify the rumors." The agent turned around and asked the absent-minded Song Yu: "Have you ever had a conflict with Li Zhao?"

If there is no deep hatred, they can offer a price without worrying that Li Zhao will not agree.

Song Yu: “…”

Song Yu's assistant: "..."

Not having to look Li Zhao in the eye every day and wanting to feed him until he becomes fat, is that considered a conflict?

As soon as the agent saw the guilty expressions on the two men's faces, he knew that something was wrong. With Song Yu's bad temper, it's not surprising that he offends people.

In this situation, let alone helping to clarify, even if Li Zhao didn't take the opportunity to step on him, she would be the saint of the nine heavens.

The team had not yet come up with a perfect countermeasure, and at one o'clock in the morning, the marketing account updated the content again.

Entertainment 888: A team contacted me and wanted me to delete the Weibo post from a few hours ago. Unfortunately, I am in a good mood tonight and decided to satisfy the wishes of all the spectators. According to a very reliable insider, a certain actor who likes to show off has someone supporting him and has a strong background. He was originally cast as the male lead in a popular web drama, and a poor, bullied male artist was cast as the second male lead. Unfortunately, the pretentious and overbearing actor disliked the male lead's character design and thought he looked like a poor bastard, so he forced the crew to change the cast as filming started. The poor little artist has no background or qualifications, but the pretentious guy specifically asked him to play the leading male role and even mocked him behind his back for acting himself. It’s a pity that the pretentious guy didn’t expect that the poor girl would become famous overnight because of this role he looked down upon. The pretentious guy was so angry that he got up in the middle of the night and beat and scolded his assistant.

Entertainment 888: Following the previous revelation, I didn’t expect that fans would still doubt the authenticity of the revelation. You can go to the official Weibo of a certain production crew and see whose name comes first and whose name comes last when they post promotional Weibo posts. Then you will know what's going on with this production crew. By the way, I'd like to share a little tidbit for fans of a certain artist named Little Poor Girl. In the crew, Little Poor Girl is often ostracized by the second male lead, and the female lead doesn't pay much attention to Little Poor Girl. However, there are a few supporting actors with cheerful personalities who will take Little Poor Girl out to play. As for which supporting actors they are, you can discover them yourself.

As soon as this news came out, countless fans of the drama felt sorry for Li Zhao, the comment section of Song Yu’s Weibo was overwhelmed, and the public relations team hired an army of internet trolls but could not suppress the anger of the fans.

On the other hand, Li Zhao's fans were relatively calm, and they called on everyone in Li Zhao's Weibo super topic to not post any comments on Song Yu's Weibo that might bring bad reputation to Zai Zai until the matter was confirmed.

The next morning, Li Zhao was invited to participate in an event hosted by a certain platform. As soon as he got out of the car, he was surrounded by countless reporters.

"Zhao Zhao, someone on the Internet revealed that you were treated unfairly by an actor on the set. Is that true?"

Li Zhao, who had just sent a message to Yan Ting, inviting him to eat hotpot together in the evening, saw the reporter suddenly jumping beside him and looked confused: "Huh?"

His confused and innocent expression made him look like a lost child, and the reporters who swarmed in were zombies about to surround the city.

"A certain actor" who had just got off the car froze when he heard the reporter's question.

The author has something to say: Zhao Zhao: Hot pot...hot pot...what are you talking about? Zhao Zhao doesn’t understand. Zhao Zhao doesn’t know.

Entertainment reporter:? ?
