Chapter 168 Morally and ethically sound
How much does it cost to shoot a MV?

Some are cheap, some are expensive. The cheapest ones can be shot for 30,000 to 50,000 yuan, and if you are a bit more ruthless, even 3,000 to 5,000 yuan is not a bad idea. If you are in a hurry, you can just use your mobile phone to shoot a Vlog, and add some filters to use it as an MV.

As for the expensive
There's no upper limit then.

For example, Zhang Yimou spent 360 million to help Jay Chou shoot a MV called "Curse of the Golden Flower".

Of course, this is just a joke, but Lao Mouzi's aesthetic sense of filmmaking pictures and colors is really top-notch, very suitable for filming MVs~
Because MVs are more about pictures than stories.

Back to the present, how much money is Jiang Yuanchu prepared to spend on producing her album and the accompanying MV?
This chick’s budget is 50 million!

That’s right, the production cost is higher than the two films that have been released by Dame Bai Youlou.

Moreover, the 50 million is only the expected investment. If necessary, the money can be increased.

Of course, this money was definitely not paid by Jiang Yuanchu himself.

Just like the profit sharing after film investment, she will also have to share the profits from this album with the company.

Oh yes, I also have to share with Bai Youlou.

Just like the way he played "Before Sunrise", he wanted to collect the money and also wanted to participate in the subsequent album and copyright sharing.

I guess there are not many people in the circle who can ask for as much as he does and succeed so often.

He is successful in both the music and film circles.

If the coins are not paid out, you don't need to worry about the follow-up. Just stay at home and collect the money.

As for whether the 50 million can be earned back, it is obvious that it can definitely be earned back!

If she wasn't so sure, Liu Manli wouldn't have been so willing to pay.

The estimated sales of the digital album alone can bring back a lot of money.

At the same time, it can also boost the sales of various peripheral products. As the most profitable female star in the domestic entertainment industry, if Jiang Yuanchu didn't even have this ability to make money, Liu Manli wouldn't protect her like a hen protecting her calves.

Proper cash cow.

And the cash flow from this thing is much faster than that from movies.

However, these are all paid on "public accounts".

If you want to invite Bai Youlou to be the male lead in a MV, it is actually a bit unnecessary. It feels like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

But Jiang Yuanchu said lightly: "This doesn't have to go through the company's account. It's my personal payment for you to perform."

What else can Bai Youlou say?
Of course, whatever the rich woman says is right~
So the question is, how should his pay for shooting a MV be calculated?
Call Lao Zhou and ask him?

Bai Youlou really didn't know what his current net worth was, but he could just shoot first and see.

Of course, he wasn't actually planning to blackmail Lin Juntao with the money. That was because he was a big boss and Huaxing had plenty of money, so it would be a waste not to take some.

In fact, Bai Youlou gave a friendly price to Jiang Yuanchu for this album he produced for her and Liu Manli out of respect for her.

Although it is as high as eight figures, if it were someone with whom I have no connections, the number would probably double.

At least after "Invisible Wings" became a hit, it could really double.

As for the so-called Jiang Yuanchu personally paying him.
It sounds strange, as the "bills" between them have always been in billions.

Do you really want several million from her?
So. Bai Youlou: "Bank transfer or check?"
-
Time: Evening.

Location: Zoo.

Event: MV shooting.

The design of this plot is that the male and female protagonists walk towards each other from two directions, and then after passing each other, they turn back to look at each other at the same time.

The plot is quite ordinary and can be inserted into any romance film or youth film without appearing too out of place.

But the plot that everyone loves to use shows that it is really a panacea.

Many things that have been filmed to death are still being filmed continuously, mainly because the audience really loves to watch them.

Bai Youlou, who shaved his beard and did a little hairstyling and put on a white shirt, looks very youthful standing next to Jiang Yuanchu.

Jiang Yuanchu's assistant Zhou Zhou watched this scene and immediately said "tears in his eyes"!
Wow! What a memory!

Two years ago, these two people appeared on the show together in this outfit.

"Ms. Jiang has a really good eye. She is the one who makes the final decision on the makeup." Xiao Wu nodded with satisfaction.

It's a music video, not a movie or TV series, so Jiang Yuanchu certainly has a lot of say, mainly to serve her.

Good vision?

Zhou Zhou laughed secretly, it's not that she has good taste, it's all just the memories in her mind~
It seems to be the same as it was back then, nothing has changed at all!

After walking around a few times and rehearsing a little, the filming officially began.

As a result, "problems" arose during the first shoot.

In the evening, the sky darkened a little, the light became soft, and the tourists had dispersed.

During this quiet hour, Bai Youlou walked briskly on the secluded paths of the zoo.

On the side of the road, a few leisurely peacocks were spreading their gorgeous wings. I took these photos specifically when they were spreading their feathers.

Just as he continued to walk forward while admiring the scenery, a red panda appeared in front of him, hopping around.

There are very few small animals that can roam free in the zoo, and this little creature has that privilege.

This is the only "uncontrollable factor" in this shoot.

Before the photo shoot, Bai Youlou was bored and went to hang out in the red panda area, but everyone had gone off work and he didn't see any of them.

As a result, when filming started, this little thing popped out.

Its round body and furry dark brown hair look extremely cute in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Because of its intrusion, Bai Youlou stopped immediately.

There was no way. This little thing was blocking his way. He couldn't just step over it as that would be impolite.

The red panda also noticed Bai Youlou's presence, and looked at him curiously with its round eyes, but was not afraid of people.

After all, the most common things that red pandas living in zoos see every day are people.

"You still have apples to eat."

Bai Youlou, who was already sitting on a bench nearby, looked at the apple in the little thing's clumsy little hands and said casually.

Of course the other party didn't understand what he said, but he climbed onto the bench carelessly, as if he had chosen this Feng Shui treasured spot and was ready to start enjoying the apple.

Before eating, the little thing looked up at Bai Youlou.

It would have been fine if he hadn't looked at it, but this look gave him a reason.

A big hand appeared in front of the red panda and took the apple away directly.

"You want to share it with me? Thank you."

Red Panda: ???

Be a human being!
I became anxious all of a sudden!

However, even when the little thing was anxious, it did not bite Bai Youlou. Instead, it pulled at his pants and tilted its head back, as if trying to get the apple back.

"puff!"

Jiang Yuanchu couldn't help it. What kind of person is this? He even wants to steal the red panda's apple?

This one is obviously "unable to be filmed", so let's just take a look at the red panda first~
No girl can ignore this cute furry little animal.

She really wanted to reach out and touch it, but the little thing was anxious now and was a little worried about being tickled.
At this moment, Bai Youlou simply used both hands to break the apple into two, and then returned half to the little thing.

Smelling the fragrance of the apple, the red panda stopped making noise and sat next to Bai Youlou and started eating.

However, Jiang Yuanchu always felt that this little thing had a sense of resentment.

Maybe the red panda has never encountered a human as "bad" as Bai Youlou.

Do we have to meet and split it in half?
"Do you want to eat it?" Bai Youlou waved at Jiang Yuanchu while holding half an apple.

Jiang Yuanchu hesitated for a moment, he really couldn't resist this temptation~
“Eating!”

So she got a quarter of an apple.

Xiao Wu now understands a little bit what the ancient literati said: "A good writing is naturally formed, and is the product of a master's hand."

Some shots are truly something you can only encounter by chance.

After all, it’s not easy to find a red panda to cooperate with you in filming.

In his heart, he called Brother Lou a genius, who could even think of such a way to get the red panda to cooperate in the filming.
Moreover, Jiang Yuanchu's expression at this moment is so natural. If she were to act out that kind of joy that comes from the heart, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to act it out so well.

Especially when he took a bite of the apple, he couldn't help but glance at Bai Youlou.
Apples are sweet, but people are even sweeter.

The smell came up all at once.

Bai Youlou: I didn’t think about it at all.

Dude just couldn't help it and did something stupid.

His behavior is just like using a cat toy to tease Wangcai at home.

The red panda ate half of the apple and then left without any reluctance. From now on, this little thing will probably have to avoid people when eating apples.

What should I do if I meet a "pervert" like Bai Youlou again?

The breeders who came after them couldn't do anything about it.

“This part can be added in, it’s very loving, and it can be placed just after the scene where the two people pass by each other and then look back at each other,” Xiao Wu said after watching the playback.

"You are a very thoughtful kid. No wonder you didn't say 'click'."

"At first I thought we could take some behind-the-scenes shots, but it was mainly because Brother Lou and Miss Jiang worked well together."

Jiang Yuanchu: Ah? Did I cooperate?
She almost forgot about the camera for a moment. The apple was really sweet!
Xiao Wu kept praising Jiang Yuanchu for his good acting skills.

I felt a little embarrassed after telling Jiang Yuanchu. Am I really that good?
However, when the filming started again, Xiao Wu couldn't laugh anymore.

Jiang Yuanchu has really never acted in a play!
How should I put it? She has a very good attitude, is very obedient, and is very dedicated. She acts the way you ask her to.

But. First of all, I can't meet the requirements, and secondly, I care too much about the camera when I am an idol.
No, how come she acted so well and naturally in the role of the red panda just now?
Xiao Wu is a director with a bit of a skewed perspective.

When he works with actors like Long Ziqiang, who have already learned how to get into character from Bai Youlou, they can create wonderful sparks.

But his weakest point is training actors, especially new actors.

The communication was completely nonsensical and neither side could understand what the other meant.

Having worked with Bai Youlou on two films, he has learned a lot of experience in other areas.

But those two films didn't have much content to train new actors.

"Daydreamer" stars a group of veteran actors, with the leading actress being Liu Manli, a Grand Slam actress.

As for "Before Sunrise"?
There was no need for any training for An Luning; she was already in that "shape" before filming began.

Xiao Wu had two options, either to just "play badly", it was just an MV shoot, the requirements were not that high, he could just make Jiang Yuanchu look pretty enough and that would be enough.

The other way is Brother Lou, help!
-
"You're lucky today. The Cannes Film Festival winner and Berlin's best director are here to teach you, a newcomer, how to act."

Although Bai Youlou spoke as if he was joking, Jiang Yuanchu was very serious. She even took notes in a notebook.

"Xiao Wu has just taught you the basics of following the camera and moving around. This will save you the trouble of lines when shooting an MV. It's mainly about facial expressions and eyes, plus some body language."

Teacher Bai teaches really seriously!

It was mainly because of Jiang Yuanchu's attitude that the girl learned meticulously and wanted to write down every word he said, which made it impossible for Bai Youlou to get away with the job easily.

He knows he is not a good player, but his attitude to make up for it is just perfect.

And Jiang Yuanchu just lacks experience, he is not...well, he is not an acting black hole like Zhang Xiaorong.

With Xiao Wu being like that, if one day he were asked to teach Zhang Xiaorong how to act, he would probably get furious.

Bai Youlou once tried it, and then he found out that there are really some people who know absolutely nothing about acting and can't act no matter how they are taught.

"Come, let's watch a replay of what you just did. It can be said to be a classic performance error book."

"Every move feels like it's been planned. Eight hundred fake moves in one second. The key is your mouth!"

Bai Youlou stressed the key points and started to keep the audience in suspense.

Jiang Yuanchu raised his hand very seriously and asked the "teacher": "What's wrong with my mouth?"

Mm. Very sweet, feels especially moist when kissed~
And the mouth is relatively small, which is special in some ways.
Cough!

Bai Youlou chased the idea of ​​making a cameo appearance from his mind, "Do you feel that when your mouth is moving, it's like you're preparing for your next performance? It's just like waiting for a CD while playing a game."

Have!
Originally Jiang Yuanchu didn't think there was anything wrong, but after he reminded him of this, he really felt strange no matter how he looked at it.

"There's more~" Bai Youlou said halfway and suddenly smacked his lips.

Jiang Yuanchu understood immediately, "Zhou Zhou, help Teacher Bai get a glass of water."

"Okay, okay~"

Her assistant Zhou Zhou was very happy and thought the "love" between the two was very interesting! Role playing?
After finding the right tone, Bai Youlou continued teaching: "Have you seen any so-called performance examples?"

"Yes." Jiang Yuanchu nodded in acknowledgement.

As for acting~ since she has decided to act well, even though it is just a MV, she must take it seriously, so she did a lot of homework.

"Formulaic acting is very eye-catching. When it comes to acting, sometimes acting inaccurately is accurate, and acting too accurately is inaccurate. Because you know too well what you want to do, you will subconsciously set the tone, and then overdo it."

Is it accurate or inaccurate?

Jiang Yuanchu frowned, thinking that what Bai Youlou said was a bit mysterious and difficult to understand.

Fortunately, he immediately gave an example.

"For example, if I want you to give me a lonely shot now"

lonely?

Jiang Yuanchu was not ashamed at all. He thought about it for a while and then planned it out.

Then he looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, as if trying hard to squeeze out two tears.

It is quite a classic!

Bai Youlou was so amused by what he saw.

"How can I act well?" Jiang Yuanchu was not angry, she really wanted to learn.

"The best expression of this emotion I've ever seen is a scene of a house raiding. There's no crying or beating one's chest or stamping one's feet, but just sitting there, tapping one's hands lightly, with no expression of joy or sadness, humming a southern tune."

His description made Jiang Yuanchu seem to have a picture in his mind, and he couldn't help but ask, "Which teacher is it?"

"A talented actor you don't know."

Bai Youlou paused, as if he felt that Jiang Yuanchu didn't need to go to such an extent. "In fact, you probably learned the basic body movements quite quickly. The rest requires more observation and experience of real life. This needs to be done slowly. Moreover, there are two types of acting: the star's acting and the actor's acting. The latter is too demanding, and you don't need it."

At this time, not to mention Jiang Yuanchu, Xiao Wu couldn't help but ask, "Brother Lou, is this the difference between the method school and the experience school?"

“Not exactly. To put it simply, the former makes it easier for the audience to remember the actor, while the latter makes it easier for the audience to forget the actor.”

Bai Youlou thought about it and said, "Aqiang is the latter."

"Why is Brother Qiang so awesome?"

"Damn it, because he doesn't know how to act any other way except putting himself completely into the role." Is this a compliment or an insult?

Obviously, it's a compliment.

Because Xiao Wu had heard Bai Youlou say before: Aqiang is also a talented actor.

It's just that his subjective initiative is not strong enough, so he needs some extreme pressure.

You can't pity him, you have to put pressure on him!

In short, he has to choose either a talented actor or a mental patient.

"Which one is Sister Manli?" Jiang Yuanchu asked curiously.

"She has already developed her own style. It's not easy to summarize her. I have to be pushed and rubbed by her. When we talk about how to act, I have to listen to her."

This is the truth. Xiao Wu can testify that when filming "Daydreamer", although no one knew who had the final say between Bai Youlou and Liu Manli in the room at night, on the set, it was really Liu Manli who had the final say on the details of the acting.

Later on, Bai Youlou didn't give her any suggestions at all. Once she made a request, the other party would find all kinds of ways to "satisfy" him.

Grand Slam actress, so terrifying.

To train actors, there are only a few steps.

Break down her original cognition and slowly unravel the mystery. You can set some correct examples for her as a goal.
This method is suitable for players with certain talents and strong learning ability.

And you need to take it slow, don't rush.

At present, Jiang Yuanchu belongs to this level. After all, Bai Youlou has not given her the opportunity to put "extreme pressure" on her and force her potential.

It's just a MV, it's crazy to mess it up like that.

If it is really a stubborn stone, there is actually a way to deal with it!

Ultimate control!

Just follow the instructions, give precise demonstrations of every movement and every look, and then ask the other person to follow suit, imitating every detail. If it doesn't work once, do it again.
However, it is better for such players not to become actors unless necessary.

It’s a waste of the director’s life.

This is the method Bai Youlou is going to use today.

If she doesn't act well enough, it means she wasn't taught carefully enough.
Who can blame them for giving so much?
The subsequent filming went smoothly. Bai Youlou's more targeted approach was indeed effective.

The previous words were meant to lay the foundation for her future, but for now she had to use the stupid method.

Fortunately, Jiang Yuanchu has always had a great sense of camera. After all, one has to learn to find the camera when dancing on stage. In this regard, she is blessed by God.

Once she got rid of some of her bad habits on stage, she was able to adapt to the camera demands of filming.

At the same time, she also showed off her unique skills!

Bai Youlou only knows that she is an artist who is good at expression management, but she doesn't know that her real strength is expression control
This girl must have practiced in front of the mirror to see how her different expressions would look perfect and best.

Therefore, the expressions on her face can be very delicate.

Even if she doesn't meet the requirements at first, she can still make "fine adjustments" based on Xiao Wu's standards.

Bai Youlou felt that Jiang Yuanchu would definitely understand what "a little" meant in the recipe.

"Brother Lou, she really hasn't had any plastic surgery!" Xiao Wu secretly said to Bai Youlou.

The control of the facial features and muscles really opened Xiaowu's eyes.

Anyone who has had hyaluronic acid injections will not have this ability!

"Nonsense. Of course I haven't done it."

Bai Youlou has known Jiang Yuanchu for several years. How could he not know whether this girl has had plastic surgery or not?

As for why Xiao Wu said that, it was because of some negative news on the Internet.

The haters who spread rumors about her plastic surgery were really thoughtful. Normal people would photoshop current photos to make them look better, but they did the opposite and photoshopped Jiang Yuanchu's old photos to make them uglier, then posted them online and said: Look! She looks different now! She must have had plastic surgery.

Jiang Yuanchu himself doesn't care too much about it. He has experienced this kind of thing so many times since his debut that he has become immune to it.

Let me put it this way, the previous conflict between Bai Youlou and Feng Dazai actually implicated Jiang Yuanchu.

But I can't tell which rhythms were created by the other party.

There are too many rivals, and it’s hard to tell them apart. Just pretend they don’t exist.

Jiang Yuanchu has been sitting in the niche of the top female star for too long, and I don’t know how many people want to pull her down.

But she still sits firmly on the throne of the top female star, relying on her extremely high attendance rate and business attitude, plus extreme self-management, making it impossible for others to find a good angle to criticize her, and they can only make up rumors and make up negative information.

Bai Youlou: My buddy has really become her only flaw.

However, Jiang Yuanchu himself was not afraid at all.

In the past two days, similar negative news has made a comeback.

"Invisible Wings" is so popular that its competitors are getting a little restless.

In addition, the Golden Melody Awards officially announced this year's nominations, which undoubtedly added fuel to the fire of Jiang Yuanchu's new album!

Because Bai Youlou received nine nominations including: Best Mandarin Album, Best Song of the Year, Best Mandarin Male Singer, Best Newcomer, Best Composer, Best Lyricist, Best Arranger, etc.

If we add Zhang Xiaorong's Best Female Mandarin Singer award, it would be perfect with ten nominations!
As for not adding it for Mao Long’s self-improvement?
This guy has the same nomination as Bai Youlou, so the two are actually competitors.

With so many nominations, almost all of them are for important awards, it is no exaggeration to say that the domestic music scene has "exploded."

How to say~
The Chinese music scene has always been dominated by Hong Kong and Taiwan. Mainland musicians, except for their louder rock voices, are really no match for them in pop music.

The big sister who was not polite to Zhang Xiaorong at the beginning on "Singer" has won the Golden Melody Award for Best Mandarin Female Singer. She only won it once, and she is already the strongest one.
Of course, that was before.

Nowadays, Hong Kong and Taiwan musicians are gradually declining, and mainland musicians are not rising either.

Everyone started pulling together.

If Bai Youlou had jumped out twenty years earlier, he might not have surprised everyone so much.

In this era of rapid development where a hundred flowers bloom, one more genius is just one more superstar.

But jumping out now is really a complete dimensionality reduction attack.

"Oh, if I announce now that I won't go."

Bai Youlou's outrageous ideas were so outrageous that Jiang Yuanchu almost got a stitch in the side.

She was choked hard, and after quickly spitting out the liquid and coughing violently for a long time, tears came out of her eyes.

Poor.

Then he took a deep breath and said, "Are you going to make it so big? You want to rub the face of the Golden Melody Awards on the ground."

"I just said that casually, why are you so excited?"

"I was scared just now"

She used her two hands to make a motion similar to a crocodile biting, which scared Bai Youlou so much.

Don’t joke around when you’re doing serious work in the future. It would be painful just thinking about what would happen if you get bitten!

Of course, it’s not just a matter of pain. It’s very likely that Bai Youlou will lose one of the important pillars of his development in the entertainment industry.

"Do you know that you almost ruined the future of the entertainment industry?" he said with great sorrow.

Be good and stop scaring people!
Jiang Yuanchu rolled his eyes and had nothing to say about this guy's wonderful metaphor.

Is this the reason why you're in the entertainment industry?
Bai Youlou: What's the problem? Look at what you are doing~
What happened two hours later seemed to confirm this point again.

Jiang Yuanchu received a call from his boss Liu Manli.

The other party excitedly stated that he would accompany Jiang Yuanchu to the Golden Melody Awards, if for no other reason than to protect her so that she would not be bullied on the island.

That’s right, Jiang Yuanchu is also going to be there as one of the guest performers.

The invitation she just received from the Golden Melody Awards can be regarded as laying the foundation for her nomination next year.

Going to be a guest performer, her boss is going to go with her? And protect her?

She was performing on stage, not dancing for the bosses in KTV~
Liu Manli's reason was obviously untenable. Jiang Yuanchu, who had just achieved physical and mental enlightenment, saw through her true purpose at a glance.

So she said decisively, "Sister, I was just about to ask someone to turn down the invitation to the Golden Melody Awards."

"We. Huh? What did you say?"

"Turn it off!" Jiang Yuanchu repeated, "I spent too much time recording the album, and my schedule is tight. I don't have time to go to the Golden Melody Awards."

"This"

Of course, Liu Manli had other intentions. She was thinking that after she went to Taiwan, she could stay in the same hotel with Bai Youlou openly. Then, as she was getting older, it was normal for her to feel lonely occasionally at night.

As a result, as he got older, his cunningness seemed no match for the young girl, and Jiang Yuanchu cut off his "retreat".

Fortunately, Xiao Yuan said he was just joking with her.

"Sister, where is fun in Taiwan?"

"Huh." Liu Manli was scared to death. What a joke. "I've been to the Golden Horse Awards a few times. I'm quite familiar with that place. I'll take you shopping then."

"Take me? Take Teacher Bai shopping with you, and bring me some souvenirs when the time comes."

what?
To be honest, it was the first time that Liu Manli "lost her sense of proportion" in front of Jiang Yuanchu.

This turn seems to say: Sister, enjoy yourself, I won’t disturb you.

The deeper meaning is: I knew you were having an affair with him!
This made Liu Manli feel quite embarrassed.

But she felt that she was single, just because she and Bai Youlou were a little older. Actually, there was nothing wrong with it morally.

There is no problem ethically, even though the shameless Bai Youlou really did call her "stepmother".

But that's just talk.

"Well, what's the point of hanging out with him?" Liu Manli on the other end of the phone felt her face getting a little hot, and she spoke stubbornly.

"When the Golden Melody Awards are being presented, your film will also have to start being promoted, right? You will definitely have to team up to find a hot topic."

Huh? So this is what you are talking about!

Jiang Yuanchu's twists and turns made Liu Manli completely at a loss for words.

Does she know about it?

Jiang Yuanchu: I didn’t know originally, but now, I’m almost sure of it, about 80 percent.

Jiang Yuanchu turned his head with complicated eyes to look at Bai Youlou, who was too lazy to even put on his clothes and was lying on the sofa watching TV. He felt inexplicably angry.

This emotion came a little strangely, as she rarely felt this way before.

Even though Bai Youlou's relationship has already made substantial progress and the intimacy level has long been full, psychologically the two are not that close.
When did the transformation begin?
Jiang Yuanchu reflected on herself and suddenly felt that the quarter of an apple she had snatched from the little panda was the sweetest apple she had ever eaten in her life.

The smirk on Bai Youlou's face at that time also made her feel particularly amused.
So after hanging up the phone, Jiang Yuanchu immediately started to get dressed.

Her action caught Bai Youlou's attention, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Yuanchu put on his clothes, walked over and kissed him, "I'm going back to my room to sleep."

Bai Youlou: ???

"When did you go back to your room?"

"Today."

"What did the phone call just now say? Is there a pinhole camera in the room?!"

"No." Jiang Yuanchu thought about it, a little hesitant, but still did not hide it, "I'm a little moved, I'll stay away from you."

wonderful!
This little girl is really an amazing woman.

After Jiang Yuanchu had cleaned up completely, and even helped Bai Youlou tidy up the messy room, she asked hesitantly, "How far have you and Mr. Liu gotten? Will it be affected because of me?"

What can she influence?
Oh~ If Liu Manli knew that Jiang Yuanchu had been seduced by Bai Youlou, she would probably go crazy.

The perfect idol has a hole in it, who knows when it will all leak out.
"It's hard to say how far it will develop. You and Liu Manli are both extraordinary women. I suggest you transform yourself as soon as possible and don't trap yourself in the cage of the idol persona." Bai Youlou said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"why?"

"You should know what Liu Manli looked like when she was young. She was similar to you now~"

"There's a big difference. She's an actress." Jiang Yuanchu objected.

"I'm talking about your attitude towards your career. You're both a bit too harsh. You two are similar in this regard."

"Although you seem to be avoiding the question, if you don't want to talk about it, then don't talk about it. Just be nice to Mr. Liu."

Jiang Yuanchu's words sounded a little dry for some reason.

"Wait a minute!"

Bai Youlou suddenly sat up from the sofa, "So you are jealous!"

"no!"

"Look into my eyes when you speak."

Don't dare to look~
Jiang Yuanchu sighed, "Please let me go. It's best if we don't meet for the next six months."

Rational and calm, just like her.

When I realized something was wrong, the first thing I thought of was to keep my distance.

However, Bai Youlou actually disagreed with her approach, "Your trick is useless."

"what?"

"Do you know what you forget first when you forget someone?"

"what?"

"Disadvantages~"

Bai Youlou shook his head. "In the line of work we do, there's a high chance that we'll see each other's names or faces online or elsewhere every now and then. It's useless."

"Then do you have any good ideas?"

Jiang Yuanchu was the one who listened to advice. He immediately stopped and started thinking while asking questions.

Judging from the way the two of them are discussing the issue seriously, if you don't know, you might think they are talking about some academic topic.

"Yes, just be numb."

"Why numb?"

Bai Youlou actually didn’t have a better solution. As I said before, love is unreasonable.

Even a playboy like him couldn't handle it, and he almost gave in to An Luning before. He didn't know whether a girl like Jiang Yuanchu, who seemed "absolutely rational", could handle it.

So I came up with a bad idea:

"How about you watch me and Liu Manli being intimate?"

Jiang Yuanchu:
Bai Youlou at this moment is even worse than when he stole the apple from the red panda!

But she didn't find it disgusting at all.

This is the scariest!
