A twenty-year-old boy with a delicate appearance looks at you confusedly. Are you attracted to him or do you hate him?
The female reporter who was facing Li Zhao couldn't help but soften her heart when she saw Li Zhao like this. However, as a qualified entertainment reporter, for the sake of clicks and topics, not to mention being soft-hearted, even if one is moved, one will still ask.
"Recently, someone broke the news that you were treated unfairly by an important supporting actor on the set. Is this true?" The reporters were unwilling to give up this opportunity and continued to surround Li Zhao and ask him questions.
Important supporting actor... It's almost obvious that this person is Song Yu.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Li Zhao lowered his head guiltily: "You all...know everything?"
Seeing Li Zhao lowering his head sadly, the reporters' eyes became hot. Here it comes, here it comes, the big news is about to be revealed! The camera and recorder are ready!
"Yes, yes, we all heard about it. Please tell us what happened in detail. We all care about you."
The assistant following behind Song Yu's legs softened, and he quietly stuffed Song Yu back into the car, then blocked the door.
"Get out of the way!" Song Yu stretched out his hand to push the assistant, who quickly pushed him back: "Brother Song, Brother Song, don't make a sound. Let's leave quickly while the reporters aren't paying attention."
"Why should I leave?"
"I'm afraid that Li Zhao's fans might get excited and start beating people up."
“…”
Li Zhao has no fans now, they are all fans of the drama and the looks!
Li Zhao was frightened by the reporters' burning gazes and took a step back, his back bumping into countless cameras and microphones. He just shamelessly ate Song Yu's midnight snacks and ate them. There was no need for so many people to take pictures, right?
He is also a young man with an idol image.
"Isn't it a bit inappropriate to say it in front of so many people?" Li Zhao said in a very low voice.
"There's nothing wrong with that. Your fans are also paying attention to this matter." The reporter couldn't let Li Zhao avoid the hot topic: "Please be sure to talk about it."
The journalists’ inner thoughts: Fight, fight!
"It's a little unfair, yes." Li Zhao coughed dryly, "Actually, there's nothing much to say."
"It's okay, just talk to us." The reporter waited anxiously for Li Zhao to reveal the news.
Assistant Song Yu looked vigilantly at the fans holding Li Zhao signs around him, ready to take Song Yu away at any time.
"Then I'll... just say a little?" Li Zhao's cheeks turned slightly red.
"Yes, tell me!" The reporters couldn't wait any longer.
"Brother Song knows that I get hungry easily at night, so he often arranges for his assistant to buy me midnight snacks."
"Huh?!" The reporter vaguely felt that this did not seem to be unfair treatment: "What else, what else?" It must be because the main point has not been mentioned yet.
Li Zhao didn't expect these reporters to dig deep into his questions. Looking at the reporters surrounding him tightly, he knew he couldn't get out anytime soon, so he continued to explain: "A few months ago, Song Ge endorsed a delicious chocolate brand and gave me a box in front of the other crew members. In fact, he also asked his assistant to secretly give me a box."
At this point, he quickly said to the camera: "Other brothers and sisters in the crew, don't blame Brother Song for being unfair. It's all my fault that I eat too much, so Brother Song secretly gave me an extra box. Brother Song is a very good person."
Um? Um? Um? !
The reporters were a little dumbfounded. This seemed completely different from the "unfair treatment" they had expected?
No, that's not right, this is not what they want!
"Brother Song often arranges for his assistant to bring me nutritious meals, and also comforts me by saying that I am younger than him and it is his responsibility to take care of me. I never expected that everyone would feel that Brother Song's behavior is unfair. I feel very sorry." Li Zhao faced the camera and obediently made a standard 90-degree bow.
Deep down, he still remembered the "little fairy boy" persona that Zhang Xiaoyuan had mentioned to him, so he barely concealed the fact that he could eat a lot.
Looking at the bowing boy, the journalists fell into silence for a moment. It was probably the first time they had seen such a "weird" artist.
The mainstream opinions on the Internet now are all sympathizing with Li Zhao and insulting Song Yu. If Li Zhao was smart, he shouldn't speak up for Song Yu at this time.
The public has a natural sympathy and love for beautiful, strong and tragic people. Li Zhao is good-looking, and even in the entertainment industry where there are so many handsome guys, he is still an eye-catching one. In addition, he has talented acting skills. Although he is not a professional actor, he can play the role likable and vivid. He can barely be called both beautiful and strong.
What he lacks is misery.
As long as some audiences who like him are made to feel that "this actor is so miserable here, I feel so sorry for him", fans of the drama and passers-by can easily be converted into his only fans. If Li Zhao had any brains, he would choose to say something ambiguous, leaving himself a way out while making the audience feel sorry for him.
What does it mean to have a rain after a long drought, a blessing from heaven, good times after bad times, or be overjoyed?
Song Yu's assistant had never understood the meaning of these idioms as deeply as she did at this moment. He didn't expect that Li Zhao would take the initiative to speak well of Brother Song and even praise him.
No matter how powerful the public relations methods are, they cannot compare to the clarification from the person involved himself!
What kind of little fairy boy is Li Zhao? He is handsome, kind-hearted, and selfless. He is simply a model of an artist of the new era.
"Brother Song, Li Zhao has clarified this matter himself. The chocolate brand will definitely not cancel the endorsement contract." The assistant said to Song Yu excitedly, "This really helps us a lot."
Something that the entire public relations team never dared to imagine happened.
Song Yu stared at Li Zhao who was surrounded by reporters for a while, then suddenly turned his head and snorted. What's the point of having good looks? She's just a pig-brained person who can't even tell that someone is targeting her on purpose.
The security guards hired by the platform finally arrived. They pushed aside the reporters and allowed several actors from the crew of "The Boss" to enter the VIP channel smoothly.
Compared to the noisy entrance that was packed with reporters, the corridor was too quiet.
The female lead Yao Shasha may also know about the online revelations, and she tried to get close to Li Zhao intentionally or unintentionally, so that Li Zhao would not act like he was not familiar with her at all, which would make the fans of the show laugh at her and confirm the fact that she treated Li Zhao coldly on the crew.
Unfortunately, after trying to get close to them for a long time, when they came on stage, Li Zhao was still too polite and not close enough. Even if two people are standing in the same direction, they are still two steps apart. Hearing the excited screams of the fans in the audience, the smile on Yao Shasha's face almost froze.
The publicity agent wanted her to promote a couple with Li Zhao, but given Li Zhao's attitude, anyone with enough knowledge to know that they were not familiar with each other in private, so how could she promote it?
When it came to the question-and-answer session to test the actors' chemistry, when the host asked what flavor of milk tea Li Zhao liked, Yao Shasha wrote strawberry without even thinking.
She remembered that one time when she asked her assistant to treat the crew to milk tea, Li Zhao drank it all up.
"Let's see what our Zhao Zhao's answer is." The host turned over Li Zhao's writing board: "Vanilla flavor."
The person who answered correctly was not Yao Shasha, nor Lu Renjia, who was good friends with Li Zhao in online marketing, but Song Yu.
Song Yu: “…”
If he didn't understand Li Zhao's taste, how could he fatten him up? These people would never know how much effort he put in privately to make Li Zhao out of shape!
After the recording of the program was over, Song Yu walked towards Li Zhao shyly, and was about to proudly express that she did not need his sympathy, when she saw Li Zhao holding his coat and hurriedly walked into the elevator with the platform staff.
"Brother Song, Brother Li..." Lu Renjia took a step forward and was interrupted by Song Yu as soon as he started to speak.
"What do you mean by brother? Li Zhao is only 20 years old. You are two years older than him. Do you have the nerve to act younger in front of him?" Song Yu sneered at Lu Renjia, "Li Zhao is my opponent. Who are you?"
She has a good relationship with Li Zhao in online marketing and is so eager to ride on his popularity. Who can't see that?
Not all dogs are worthy of being lickers.
Unexpectedly, Song Yu's attitude was so straightforward. There were also platform staff behind them. Lu Renjia's face turned red with embarrassment, but he didn't dare to challenge Song Yu openly. He could only smile awkwardly: "Song brother is really good at joking. I respect Brother Li's acting skills and character, so I call him brother."
In response to him, Song Yu snorted coldly and walked away.
Without turning around, Lu Renjia could guess what kind of look the platform staff were looking at him with. He clenched his teeth and became ruthless.
If there wasn't someone behind him, could Song Yu be so arrogant?
Accompanied by staff, Li Zhao rushed to the underground parking lot. He hurriedly said goodbye to the staff, opened the door of a black car and got in.
"Brother, sorry to have kept you waiting." Li Zhao put his coat on his knees, turned his head and said to Yan Ting who was sitting next to him, "Today's recording is overtime, are you hungry?"
After saying that, he took out two oranges from his coat pocket and said, "I just got these from the lounge. Let's eat them first to fill our stomach."
Yan Ting took the orange and played with it. He noticed that Li Zhao had not yet removed her makeup. "Are you busy lately?"
"I'll make some money while people are watching the show." Li Zhao pulled out a cash coupon from his coat and said happily, "I've asked around, and the coupons are valid as long as it's not a holiday. Let's eat to our heart's content later, I'll treat you."
Looking at the color-printed coupon in Li Zhao's hand, Yan Ting's eyebrows twitched slightly. In his nearly thirty years of life, this was the first time someone treated him to a meal using a coupon.
"I checked the food review software. Many customers said that the food in this restaurant is delicious and the service attitude is also good." Li Zhao opened the software and showed Yan Ting the customer reviews: "I wanted to try it a few months ago, but unfortunately I didn't have the chance."
Unfortunately, I have no money.
Yan Ting listened silently as the older boy listed the restaurant's special dishes. When he had almost finished speaking, Yan Ting unscrewed an unopened bottle of drink and handed it to Li Zhao.
"Thanks, buddy." Li Zhao gulped down a few big gulps. "Some parts of the filming just now were not smooth. I filmed it several times. My throat is smoking."
His voice was full of energy, and the joy seemed to emerge from his bones, then fill his limbs and even every tip of his hair.
Yan Ting really likes listening to this big boy talk, which is lively but not annoying.
"What happened next?" he responded, waiting for the other party to continue.
"Then I was late and made you wait so long." Li Zhao sighed, "It's a pity that Brother Xiaoyuan had something to do today, otherwise I could have asked him to eat with us. Hotpot needs more people to create a good atmosphere."
"You sent me a message in advance, so I didn't have to wait too long." Yan Ting's voice was still calm: "Can I send a message while recording the show?"
"Hehe." Li Zhao peeled off the orange peel, stretched out his five fingers and clenched them again: "Sending messages during the interval of recording a program, it's all about hand speed."
For a newcomer like him who has just gained some popularity, he was the only one cooperating with the program crew for the filming, and the fact that he could secretly send a message was already enough to scare people.
When the car arrived at the exit of the underground parking lot, Li Zhao saw Yao Shasha and her assistant standing next to a white car. The hood of the car was open and white smoke was coming out of it, as if there was some kind of problem.
"Li Zhao!" Yao Shasha seemed to know that the person sitting in the car was Li Zhao. She took the initiative to wave in Li Zhao's direction with a smile, as if asking him for help.
The author has something to say: Zhao Zhao: Brother Song is so nice and considerate. He is like my half-parent.
Brother Song: I still just want to be quiet today.
