Chapter 89
Having been at the top of the charts for six or seven consecutive years, Ying Zhisheng has commanded a disproportionate amount of traffic, leading many to want him out. Fuquan calculated that over a dozen different companies were buying up the "troll army" for this particular campaign, and over two hundred media outlets were reporting on the negative publicity.
It was simply to eat Ying Zhisheng alive, and only Ying Zhisheng deserved such a grand display.
Fuquan ate his apple with a worried look on his face, then glanced up at the man strumming his guitar on the sofa. Oh, the ghosts and humans were arguing. Lou Sheng and Ying Zhisheng were having a conflict.
It was a rare sight. Normally, he would hold Lou Sheng in high esteem and would not even say a harsh word. He had thought Ying Zhisheng had no temper at all towards Lou Sheng, but now it seemed that was not the case.
"Actually, I'm not saying you and Lou Sheng aren't suitable. Lou Sheng has a sharp temper and you're also a tough person, so there's bound to be friction. What did you quarrel about?"
Ying Zhisheng stared at Fuquan coldly and whispered, "Lou Sheng is angry because I didn't let him go find his father."
"Ah, Lou Sheng still has family members alive. I thought Lou Sheng's father had died a long time ago."
There is no difference between being alive and being dead.
Ying Zhisheng hung up on one harassing call after another and then turned off his phone. His privacy was leaked when he accidentally answered a call where the person on the other end asked him if he was gay or bisexual.
For some inexplicable reason, it wasn't just haters who called, but also fanatical fans.
He explained briefly, "Lou Sheng's father has been doing business overseas for many years. He wanted to ask my father, who is still alive, to help me. I disagree."
After hearing this, Fuquan slapped his thigh and said, "Why?! Why would we reject such a good thing? We're going to turn things around!"
Ying Zhisheng curled his lips. There was no reason. He just couldn't stand Lou Sheng bowing his head, and he couldn't tolerate a proud person bending his back.
Lou Sheng would rather die than ask for help from someone, if after death...
Ying Zhisheng felt that he was going crazy and would become a completely mentally disturbed lunatic, crying, screaming and wailing.
He decided: "Let's go back to the crew and continue filming." He was actually enjoying the process of coaxing the ghost hanging on the ceiling that was installed as a chandelier.
I like Lou Sheng’s joys, sorrows, anger and happiness.
I cherish every moment I spend with Lou Sheng, probably because he has lost something before.
…
In fact, Lou Sheng was quite busy during this period, even finding a job after his death and earning a government salary. During the day, he had to accompany Ying Zhisheng on filming, and at night, he would go to Chen Ji and a group of ghosts to help solve cases. He was so busy that he was the type of ox and horse that even capitalists would be attracted to.
Moreover, Ying Zhisheng, a big star who is a terrible actor, always drags ghosts to play opposite him.
As Lou Sheng read his lines from the script, he wasn't being narcissistic; he felt he was more suited to acting than Ying Zhisheng. At least he wouldn't lose focus while acting, and he could even squeeze out a few tears.
"There's a kissing scene today," Ying Zhisheng said.
Lou Sheng widened his eyes in disbelief. A cold wind blew through the room, and the pages of the script flipped through. He flipped through them to pieces but couldn't find the so-called kissing scene. There wasn't even any intimate scene. It was either murder or a battle of wits with the police.
"No way?"
"You and I have one." Ying Zhisheng's ears turned slightly red, his eyes sparkled and he smiled, looking unusually cheerful.
Lou Sheng pursed his lips, thinking he might as well lean in and give it a kiss. But he also felt that the scene of a human and a ghost kissing would be very strange.
"At night, when no one is around."
"But you are always busy at night, I can't wait for you."
This is the first time I noticed that Ying Zhisheng is a clingy guy, but it seems that he was already showing this when we were just friends.
He followed Lou Sheng everywhere, even to his meals, toilets, and sleep. They were inseparable. Even if he couldn't understand chess, he would still stay by his side, buying the same chess set as Lou Sheng and paying close attention to his friends.
Lou Sheng chuckled and replied, "I'll come back early tonight to accompany you."
During this time, Ying Zhisheng's situation improved. Perhaps it was a sign of good fortune, or perhaps it was just retribution, but the investor who had requested Jiang Ling be included in the production went bankrupt overnight. They were immediately replaced with a more lucrative and less troublesome sponsor.
The internet was shocked by the revelation of numerous online troll groups, including over 50 with tens of thousands of members, all dedicated to discrediting Ying Zhisheng. It was hard to believe that netizens who shared your views were either sympathetic or had ulterior motives.
This is an opportunity for Ying Zhisheng to clarify all kinds of rumors again, so that he can catch his breath temporarily and not be crushed by various forces.
Another incident happened. Gao Yixuan died and his soul hid after he became a ghost.
I don’t know what went wrong, but Chen Ji couldn’t summon his soul.
Lou Sheng felt annoyed when this matter was mentioned. Tonight he had to go to the house where Gao Yixuan lived and find the ghost hiding in a corner.
"Zhisheng! Zhisheng!" Fuquan knocked on the door and came straight in, his face full of joy. "That 18th-tier girl from Feiyuegao Company, the one who slandered you for having an affair with her! She wrote a short essay directly confessing that she was threatened by the company and that you didn't even know her."
I didn't know him in the first place. Even the photos were stolen from Lou Sheng's account. It's a completely unconvincing slander.
"The police found out that Qian Qi owed over half a million dollars in gambling debts at the casino, and someone paid it off two days ago. They're tracking him down now, and they'll give us an explanation when the time comes!"
Things were turning around and moving in a positive direction. Although it was clearly a happy occasion worth celebrating, Ying Zhisheng felt uneasy and subconsciously looked at Lou Sheng.
Lou Sheng smiled at him with his eyes curved, "Why are you looking at me? I already said we can kiss at night."
Ying Zhisheng's restless heart calmed slightly as he continued to study the script. His talent aside, his attitude was worth learning from.
Fuquan told him, "Jiang Ling was replaced by Dong Chi and replaced by Zhao Qingchu. Someone who participated in the show with you and was the same age as you has won the Best Actor award."
"The movies starring Zhao Qingchu are really good." Lou Sheng nodded in agreement. His title of box office king is not undeserved.
Ying Zhisheng paused as he turned the page and spoke calmly, "I've won the Golden Melody Awards five times in a row, the Most Popular Male Singer for five years, and the Most Influential Singer. I've won a total of twenty-three awards."
Ying Zhisheng looked at Lou Sheng and said, "This year's new album will be released, and there will be more than 23 awards."
The fight started.
Lou Sheng praised him sincerely: "Amazing! Awesome! Unbelievable!"
Fuquan followed suit: "Indeed, no one in the industry has achieved this. My wife even bought a poster of yours to hang around the house."
Ying Zhisheng nodded and lowered his head to continue reading the script.
He spent the day studying the different emotions expressed through micro-expressions and actively communicating with his co-stars, except Zhang Xirui.
Things were getting better, even the sun was shining brighter. Until——
After the filming was completed, the investors waited for a long time in Ying Zhisheng's single lounge.
