Chapter 234: Your Majesty, please put away your magical powers!

In the airport lounge, Zhang Xiaorong was sharing interesting stories from her recent announcements with Bai Youlou.

It's mainly about a celebrity reality show.

There are many different types of such programs, including games such as name tag tearing, "wilderness survival", and even programs about taking care of children.

Zhang Xiaorong has no children and has no interest in eating insects in the wild, so she only participated in a gaming reality show called "Running Man".

I was paid two million for one day of recording.

The main reason why she can be given so much money is that Zhang Xiaorong rarely participates in such announcements. She usually only accepts some announcements to sing.

Things are more valuable when they are rare.

Every year during New Year’s Eve or various festivals, that’s when she makes the most announcements.

These announcements also support the basis of her popularity. She doesn’t need to do anything fancy, just sing.

In comparison, we receive fewer other types of notifications.

But her song keeps coming out, and her popularity keeps growing, so naturally many shows want to invite her.

Then you must be sincere about the price.

No matter how Buddhist she is, as long as her fame and popularity increase, money will come to her.

"That reality show isn't very interesting. They even gave us a script before the recording. I'm not going to participate in it anymore."

Bai Youlou was overjoyed when he heard Zhang Xiaorong's complaints.

Give her the script?

To be honest, if that reality show is just about playing games or something, Zhang Xiaorong is not a completely dull person, she is just gentle and quite likable on the show. Although the show effect is a little difficult to achieve, it is not completely impossible.

Who doesn't like a gentle and beautiful little sister?
As for reality shows, the main focus is on the “real” personality of the celebrity.

Zhang Xiaorong’s real personality is very likable, unlike Nanazi, who seems to have an aura of sarcasm.

But why did they give her a script and ask her to act in it?
Bai Youlou felt very sympathetic towards the variety show director, who was really asking for trouble by crossing over to another industry.

"Did you perform in the end?"

Hearing this question, Zhang Xiaorong smiled and said, "I didn't act. I won."

"what?"

"I won the game. It's fun to play freely. It feels like I'm back to my childhood."

"As long as you are happy. Oh yes, our company will also participate in the production and investment of a variety show in the future, and you can also join in the fun then."

"What show is it?" Zhang Xiaorong immediately became interested.

Since it's her own company's program, she must go and help out.

"It can be considered a reality show, but it's a travel show. It was thought up by Liu Manli."

"Travel show? Is there a script for this?"

Obviously, Zhang Xiaorong is also very able to recognize her own shortcomings.

If there is a script, she really can't act.
"Script? It should be called a travel guide~"

"That's good!"

The idea of ​​this program was indeed proposed by Liu Manli some time ago. Bai Youlou helped to come up with a name, but they were too lazy to think about it and just called it "Flowers and Youth".

The format of the program is to find a few beautiful girls and pair them with two male "guys" to travel together.

This kind of show is quite interesting. After all, Liu Manli has no shortage of beautiful sisters.

Then she came to Bai Youlou to "ask for money", saying that her sister was helping her make money, but in fact, the company's working capital was a bit stretched.

The film and television industry has always had the problem of long payment terms and difficulty in collecting payments.

This phenomenon exists in both movies and television.

Take TV dramas as an example. Liu Manli is not only working with Bai Youlou on movies, she has many projects on hand.

At the same time, funds for several projects have not yet been recovered.

I complained to Bai Youlou before, about a drama I collaborated with a certain video website, but I only got 50% of the money back after it was finished airing.

Fortunately, Liu Manli has strong blood and connections and background. Although the other party will not deny it, it will definitely drag it out.

If it were some small companies with particularly tight funds, with tens of millions of funds waiting, the unpaid funds alone could easily bring the company down.

Of course, sometimes the speed of repayment depends on how strong different people are.

To put it bluntly, some people will "default on their debts" depending on the person.

Bai Youlou doesn't have to worry too much about the revenue from the movie, as the theater chains pay the money relatively quickly, sometimes even in advance.

Sometimes having a big name brings a lot of hidden benefits, especially now that he has not suffered any losses, he is definitely the best partner. But if he suffers a huge loss one day, it will be hard to say what will happen.

As for financial pressure, there is almost none. Old Zhou is worried every day about not being able to spend the money in the company's account, otherwise he would not try every means to get Xiao Wu to shoot faster.

So when Liu Manli proposed the project and asked Bai Youlou for investment, Lao Zhou immediately asked him to agree after learning about it.

However, when Lao Zhou went to talk to Manli Entertainment, he also put forward a request that at least one of Liu Manli and Jiang Yuanchu must participate in the show as the main guest.

This kind of program needs to be supported by celebrities who are famous enough.

There is a reason why the market is chasing after celebrities with high traffic.

Some stars may not have average box office appeal, but the traffic and clicks they can attract on TV dramas and variety shows are indeed impressive.

To put it bluntly, fans are not stupid.

What they like is the traffic stars themselves, and they would rather see the "real faces" of their idols in variety shows rather than go to the cinema and endure two hours of poor acting.

Chatting and eating, the two of them who arrived at the airport early felt like they were on a date.

It’s true that the airport’s VIP lounge is a great place for a date.

Since the media can't come in, you can do whatever you want as long as you don't get photographed by other VIP passengers.

The VIP lounges of some flights are well-equipped, with rooms for temporary rest, and even SPA and massage services.

Unfortunately, Bai Youlou and his flight did not have so many services. They only had a lounge with a little more privacy, which didn't even have a door, so there was no such thing as making a date at the airport and rolling around on a big bed.

Just when Bai Youlou was calculating the time and thinking about boarding the plane soon, Zhang Xiaorong suddenly said, "I heard that you have a good relationship with Nana in the crew?"

Bai Youlou's body stiffened slightly, "What's wrong, are you jealous?"

"No, she sent you a message."

Zhang Xiaorong pointed at Bai Youlou's mobile phone, and the screen just then displayed a message from Nanazi.

Before Bai Youlou picked it up to read, Zhang Xiaorong read it out loud: "Brother Xiaobai, please come back soon. I miss you so much."

Bai is numb again.

Because Zhang Xiaorong's voice when reading this is very strange, as if she is holding her throat
"Oh, she misses you, so should you hurry back after attending the Golden Melody Awards?"

Before Bai Youlou could answer, Zhang Xiaorong muttered again: "It's still a little early for us to go there. Why don't we tell the Golden Melody Awards and ask them to start earlier?" Your Majesty, please put away your magical powers!

To be honest, when Zhang Xiaorong said these sour words, only the first sentence sounded a bit sarcastic.

Then she returned to her normal speaking state.

If you don't consider the context, people who don't know would really think that she was afraid of delaying Bai Youlou's business and hoped that he could go back earlier.

His voice was so gentle, his eyes didn't hold the slightest hint of murderous intent, and his expression didn't show any sign of anger or rage.

Bai Youlou was a little unsure of her thoughts, but he definitely felt something was wrong.
But, Mr. Bai, you are really brave!
Without even thinking, he said, "It's definitely not possible to go back early."

Zhang Xiaorong's eyes lit up, but she didn't let go of Bai Youlou, "If you don't go back soon, it won't be good for Nana to wait for you for too long~"

"Xiao Yuan is already in Taiwan. She is more important."

Zhang Xiaorong: ???

There is a ripple in my mentality~
To be honest, even a girl like her who has a very calm mentality would sometimes get so angry at Bai Youlou that she wants to punch him twice.

It’s fine that Nana sent such a text message, but she opened her mouth and mentioned that there was also a Xiao Yuan?

Who is Xiao Yuan? !

Zhang Xiaorong was stunned for a moment, oh yes, Xiao Yuan is Jiang Yuanchu.
I can only say that she is worthy of being Teacher Zhang. Even though Bai Youlou said such a shitty thing, she didn't blush and smiled and said:
"Jiang Yuanchu is my competitor. Are you going to use some weird methods to help me defeat her in advance?"

Weird method~
Go through the back door?
I've tried it, it doesn't defeat her, it makes her more excited
Some unhealthy thoughts flashed through Bai Youlou's mind, but his evaluation of Teacher Zhang became much higher.

This mentality is so stable!
Just look at Bai Youlou's unexplained combo, even if it was Liu Manli, he would have been defeated.

But our teacher Zhang is still so calm and we can even joke with him.

"It's useless to defeat her now. Can we make her withdraw from the competition? At most, we can prevent her from going to the event."

Seeing Bai Youlou's smile, Zhang Xiaorong naturally understood what this guy meant.

I cursed in my heart!
Man~
Do they always have some yellow garbage in their minds?

Can't go to the scene yet
"Do you have the ability to do this?"

Looking at Zhang Xiaorong's mysterious smile, now Bai Youlou is in trouble!

What do you mean?
What's the meaning? !

You look down on me, bro?
He turned around and looked around, then directly put his arm around her waist and whispered "threateningly": "Do you believe that I will turn around and help her, so that you can't go to the scene?"

Zhang Xiaorong continued to smile: "Are you okay?"

Blanch!
To be honest, Bai Youlou now only hates himself for being too gentle before. Now he feels that he can't "control" Zhang Xiaorong at all.

There was no way. Others had already explored his "background" thoroughly before. The current situation was not suitable for Bai Youlou to save face and let her see his "prime state".

"I'm just teasing you, you are not allowed to help anyone."

"Ah? Why?"

This time, Zhang Xiaorong finally rolled her eyes at him, "Don't ruin Jiang Yuanchu's reputation. She'll be in a lot of trouble if rumors spread."

Bai Youlou looks weird, is that right?

That little girl Jiang Yuanchu is about to "explode".

But it is obvious that even if it is time for the "decisive battle atop the Forbidden City", Zhang Xiaorong still has a strong sense of martial ethics.

Unless the other party uses underhanded tactics, we will never deploy our Bai Youlou.

Of course, even if the other party used a shady trick, she didn't want to mobilize Bai Youlou.

What? How can you send your man to someone else?
And that Nana. Zhang Xiaorong bit her lips lightly, as if she was thinking about something.

Before she confirmed her relationship with Bai Youlou, she had no reason or position to interfere in any aspect of Bai Youlou's affairs.

But now my position and identity may not be enough, but as a girl, it is enough reason!
Before boarding the plane, she sent a message to Lao Zhou.

"Ding dong."

Old Zhou was stunned for a moment when he received the text message, wondering why Zhang Xiaorong would send him a message at this time.

After reading the specific content, I exclaimed it was awesome!
Teacher Zhang is about to start exerting his strength!

Tsk tsk, I wonder if Brother Lou will be able to hang out in the future~
Looking at Nana from a distance, who was sitting there looking depressed, Lao Zhou shook his head with amusement.

Just wait and see, right?

The Sichuan and Chongqing Tyrannosaurus is coming.
-
When he came to Taiwan again, Bai Youlou was directly treated to being picked up at the airport.

There were so many people and the airport was bustling with noise.

It was just a short distance of two or three hundred meters, but it took me almost an hour to walk surrounded by the crowd.

The Taiwanese media is already wild, and the Taiwanese female fans are even wilder!
A bunch of soft girls with Taiwanese accents were almost knocked over by those reporters.

Before, Zhang Xiaorong would rarely have overly close contact with Bai Youlou in public.

Well, she doesn't like to use this method to "force the palace".

Is it really necessary to let Bai Youlou tell everyone that she is her girlfriend? Doing so might have the opposite effect.

Zhang Xiaorong knew him very well. This guy was just an easy-going person.

But today, we have to be intimate.

A bit scared.
She hugged Bai Youlou's arm tightly, and even huddled a little bit. After all, the security guards were a little overwhelmed by the crazy fans.

"You're so popular here?!"

"I don't know~"

Bai Youlou was also a little puzzled. He thought that his buddy had only been pretending to be a nobody last year, but why was he acting like a superstar?

And he is a director. Well, it seems even more pretentious to say that he is just a director at this time.

His attributes as an actor are tied together with his attributes as a director. After participating in "Lost in Thailand", he has acted in more movies than he has directed.

Of course, because the director has an advantage over the actors in terms of ecology, people still call him Director Bai.

Show some respect.

But in fact, Bai Youlou prefers girls to call him "good brother"
Originally, Bai Youlou came here to repay a favor and to support Zhang Xiaorong.

As a result, it now seems to be a bit out of place.

Not many people paid attention to Zhang Xiaorong who was huddled beside him; all the cameras were focused on his face.

Fortunately, he shaved before leaving, otherwise who knows how these media would write about him.

However, after being a little surprised and panicking at first, Bai Youlou gradually reacted.

He did not reveal any evil or crazy smile, he just gently supported Zhang Xiaorong's back with his hand.

Then he bowed his head and said to her:
"Don't be afraid, stand up straight, I'm here."
