Chapter 248: Stop before it’s too late
Qiu Yanran is obviously very determined, and she is also very proactive.
Bai Youlou originally thought that this woman should at least wait until some time before her contract expires before taking necessary action.
She does not.
Early bird gets the worm.
Start working hard now.
Bai Youlou was careless and went out to the toilet half an hour before the recording of the program started.
Qiu Yanran also went along.
This behavior didn't strike anyone as wrong.
After all, this is backstage at someone else's program set. How could the two of them go into the bathroom together?
Really capable!
Bai Youlou really didn't react at first, and was still chatting with Qiu Yanran on the way to the bathroom.
Under normal circumstances, everyone should go their separate ways at the toilet door.
So Bai Youlou hummed a little song and walked into the empty men's restroom. From the first step into the men's restroom, he unzipped his pants and reached out.
The moment you walk to and stand in front of the pond, open the gate to release the water.
It flows like water, very smoothly, as if there is no pause in between.
It took him several seconds to realize he had been peeing.
Turning around, Qiu Yanran was smiling at him.
This woman actually followed him into the men's restroom!
Bai Youlou:? ?!
What the hell?
There is a very strange way of flattering someone: "Do you still eat by yourself?" "Do you still go to the toilet by yourself?"
This kind of talk may sound outrageous, but Chinese is profound and sometimes can be understood and analyzed from another perspective.
Qiu Yanran is obviously good at everything.
Director Bai, you still go to the toilet yourself? Let me help you!
How to help?
This behavior once made Bai Youlou doubt whether she was trying to please him or to bully him.
Bad news, he almost didn't finish peeing.
"What the hell are you doing?"
Outside the toilet, Bai Youlou looked at Qiu Yanran who was washing her hands carefully, and his tone seemed to become resentful.
However, Qiu Yanran is neither a little girl nor a super celebrity like Liu Manli.
She is very willing to sacrifice her own face.
"Director Bai, are you feeling comfortable?"
"Do you consider yourself a club technician?"
If such words were spoken, most girls would probably curse, or at worst pretend to be angry and ask someone to comfort them.
But Qiu Yanran still smiled and said, "I'm willing to serve Director Bai."
"It's a bit shameless."
"Thank you for the compliment."
Smart and awesome woman!
The entertainment industry is really a place where people are supported.
Someone like Bai Youlou obviously wouldn't have much interest in ordinary beautiful female stars.
Everyone knows that there are several top beauties in the entertainment industry who have had unclear relationships with him.
In this situation, it is hard for an ordinary beautiful female star to open her legs and make him throw himself on her with red eyes.
To put it bluntly, people who can eat the finest delicacies from land and sea won't care much about general high-end ingredients.
And what did Qiu Yanran do?
In front of Bai Youlou, she took the initiative to downgrade herself to become a roadside food stall and barbecue stall.
The main focus is on economy and affordability, you can eat however you want.
We’re tired of the high-end stuff, let’s try something down-to-earth.
Qiu Yanran accurately discovered the gap in the market and started to occupy the market without hesitation.
To be honest, there are definitely many female artists in the entertainment industry who can lower their posture to this extent, but they definitely don't include first-line female stars like her.
The excitement and satisfaction brought by a female star of this level is another matter entirely.
Otherwise, Bai Youlou wouldn't be led by the nose so easily.
He felt that it was not that his will was not strong enough, but that he just had no other choice.
The most interesting thing is that even after the recording of the program was over, Qiu Yanran did not say that she should strike while the iron is hot and talk to Bai Youlou more about the possibility of future film and television contracts.
Don't even mention it.
It was as if he was giving Bai Youlou a benefit purely out of interest.
Generating electricity for love, how fucking pure!
This program recording is one of the rare joint promotions by the "Dying to Survive" crew.
After all, the leading actors in the movie basically have their own status and reputation.
There is no need to say much about Bai Youlou.
Lu Wenyuan is almost at the same leading position as Jiang Yuanchu among the top male stars. Among the so-called four top stars, this guy is at the top.
In addition, the commercial value of popular male stars is higher than that of popular female stars, so Lu Wenyuan can almost be said to be the number one popular star in China.
That's what people say on the Internet anyway. This guy has over 100 million fans on Weibo, nearly three times as many as Bai Youlou.
Qiu Yanran may be a little weaker, but her position as a first-line actress is still very stable. She is not often on the trending searches, and her traffic may not be very large, but she is stable!
The top stars are replaced every two years, and only Lu Wenyuan is particularly resilient, but he has also begun to seek transformation.
To put it bluntly, his transformation is towards Qiu Yanran.
If she can really get rid of the label of a traffic artist in the future, her status may not be much higher than Qiu Yanran.
It may sound a bit unfair, but the career "lifespan" of traffic artists is indeed not long, otherwise Jiang Yuanchu would not have changed his development direction.
In short, we guys are all very hipster now!
Long Ziqiang, who was originally the weakest in this link, has now become a popular figure.
It's also thanks to his wife.
In recent times, he is the "most popular" artist in the country.
Although no one wants this kind of red.
But Long Ziqiang had already attained enlightenment in Longchang.
His shamelessness is beyond most people's imagination. He is not ashamed of it but proud of it.
Especially during the promotion period, Zhen Dongjun accompanied Long Ziqiang as a pendant. After a lot of theoretical indoctrination, Long Ziqiang was able to have passionate conversations with his wife online while running various promotions with his head held high offline.
To be honest, Weibo should give Long Ziqiang some bonus.
During the time when he and his wife were having a passionate conversation online, the stock price skyrocketed!
There really is new fun coming out every two days, for everyone to watch and judge.
As the promotion of the movie "Dying to Survive" officially begins, Long Ziqiang will also begin to gain the upper hand online.
The counterattack officially begins!
The "forbearance" for a period of time before made his wife have the illusion that I had the upper hand, so she bombarded Long Ziqiang online.
He also threw out some specious photos, trying to prove that Long Ziqiang was cheating.
This woman has totally lost her mind.
I don’t know if I have obsessive-compulsive disorder, but I have to collect nine photos to make a nine-square grid.
As a result, netizens found out that something was wrong.
The content of one of the photos reads: "Long Ziqiang is on a date with his lover and they are having a great chat."
The heroine in the photo has a graceful figure and long hair, and even from behind she looks like a great beauty.
I don’t know if the background of the photo was blurred to highlight the characters.
But no matter how vague you are, you can't use Zhang Xiaorong's!
I don't know which paparazzi took that photo squatting at the entrance of Bai Youlou's company, with the company's gate as the background.
It would be fine if they just filmed Long Ziqiang going in with a female employee of the company, but they had to choose Zhang Xiaorong.
How good are netizens at identifying celebrities?
Sometimes you don’t even need a back view, you can recognize someone just by looking at a silhouette.
When Bai Youlou saw that thing, he could tell it was Zhang Xiaorong just by looking at the body curves and waist-to-hip ratio.
To be honest, it would be fine if it was replaced by another female celebrity.
Maybe they can even make up a story that Long Ziqiang was having an affair with that female star.
Zhang Xiaorong.
Even the haters knew that if Zhang Xiaorong had a man, it must be Bai Youlou.
Bai Youlou is also Long Ziqiang's boss.
It is simply contrary to Tiangang.
Take advantage of her illness and kill her.
The information about the first former agent who cheated on Long Ziqiang was leaked.
This guy is also in a miserable situation.
Originally, he was kicked out of the company.
But later, when old accounts were brought up, it was discovered that he had also committed occupational embezzlement. There was no choice but to call the police and have him arrested.
Compared to the specious photos posted by Long Ziqiang’s wife, the ones posted by Long Ziqiang with the official seal are much more convincing.
Oh yes, it is worth mentioning here that all these online public relations are actually not handled by Bai Youlou.
All have been outsourced to Manli Entertainment.
Even Long Ziqiang’s Weibo account was sent over for manipulation.
Bai Youlou is mainly engaged in production, with only a few artists in total, and the team in terms of online marketing, public relations, etc. is not very strong.
To be precise, the main job of these people working on the Internet is to shoot some melodramatic short videos to attract fans.
Nowadays, people are using short video matrices to promote movies.
But Liu Manli’s company is different. The artists under it are basically all related to traffic. The team is large and mature. They are the ancestors of marketing and public relations.
The team is strong, and they have a lot of solid evidence in their hands. Even if Long Ziqiang’s wife also seeks external help, she will be played to death.
When the movie promotion is officially launched, it is the time to really fight to the death and suppress the opponent throughout the whole process.
Half a month before the movie was released, the key surveillance footage had not yet been released, but Long Ziqiang had already gained the upper hand.
It's really like using a butcher knife to kill a fly. Damn, you don't even need any evidence to kill the other party.
Long Ziqiang was deeply touched by this.
Damn, even if my brother really has a mistress and commits domestic violence, it seems he can get away with it with this level of public relations!
At this moment, he had to admit that he felt a little agitated.
Fortunately, we pulled back from the brink in time!
"That's right, Brother Qiang, stop messing around, make some money, and then we can find a more solid partner."
Hearing Xiao Wu's words, Long Ziqiang looked surprised, "No, no, no, I was too honest before, I should enjoy myself more from now on." Xiao Wu: ???
Bro, are you serious?!
What happened to pulling back from the brink of disaster?
"Yeah, it's time to stop. You can't make your relationship public or get married. I'm single, so I can have fun as I please."
After hearing such self-righteous rogue quotes, Xiao Wu seemed to have some understanding.
He is also considering "pulling back from the brink".
Previously, a not-so-famous female artist in the crew came to knock on his door, but he chased her away.
Later, Bai Youlou told him to sleep with him boldly, and Xiao Wu was really moved.
But because he refused so bluntly at the beginning, the other party stopped delivering the goods to his door. After all, Xiao Wu couldn't use a loudspeaker to tell everyone that he had a "progressive young woman" on his side.
Of course, wanting to have a good relationship may be one of the reasons.
But look at the company's situation.
There is no need to say much about Bai Youlou, he is the leader of all scumbags, and the trend of staying "single" started with him.
It sets a bad example for everyone.
As for Lao Zhou, there is nothing much to say. It is either Nan Tong or he has "eaten enough" outside.
After all, he was the one who attended many of the company's entertainment and social events. Sometimes he arranged for others, and sometimes others arranged for him.
There are a bunch of bath center membership cards in this guy’s office drawer.
Originally, Xiao Wu did not follow the same path as Bai Youlou and Lao Zhou in terms of relationships. He wanted to be like Long Ziqiang, have a stable relationship, get married and have children.
As a result, the two who were having fun got nothing wrong, while the married Long Ziqiang was both hated and backstabbed.
Damn it.
Xiao Wu also wanted to "pull back from the brink".
But he really doesn't have much experience in this area.
He wanted to get some membership cards from Lao Zhou, but Lao Zhou told him seriously: "You are a director. My method is not suitable for you. It is Hinayana Buddhism."
"What is Mahayana Buddhism? Brother Zhou, teach me!"
"I can't teach you this. You can go to the West Heaven and ask the Buddha Tathagata to ask Brother Lou. He is more familiar with this."
This suggestion is very good, but Xiao Wu can't go to the West to obtain the scriptures in the short term.
Because Bai Youlou was still out promoting the Dharma, he had no time to teach him "Mahayana Buddhism".
"Hey little greedy cat! I can't do anything about you."
In a business car, Bai Youlou touched Qiu Yanran.
After Bai Youlou witnessed her hard work and progress, Bai Youlou, who had originally planned to do some promotional work alone, decided to team up with her.
Bai Youlou was helpless about this. Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu, the profession of director is a road of no return!
He picked up the thermos cup at hand and started gulping it down.
Naturally, a lot of wolfberries were put in the thermos.
Make up! Make up hard!
Food supplements, medicine supplements, and fitness.
Bai Youlou has paid a lot to be a good director.
It’s a pity that this aspect cannot be used to illustrate in front of the microphone. Many directors will not mention the hardships in this aspect when they recall the past.
They are all men who swallow their anger with gritted teeth!
A little physical consumption is not a big deal.
After finishing her work, Qiu Yanran returned to her seat. It was still about ten minutes' drive from the airport. She was too lazy to touch up her makeup and prepared masks and other equipment in advance.
Sometimes some celebrities wear masks not to show off, but because they are too lazy to put on makeup.
After these few days, Bai Youlou couldn't help but admire this woman.
He didn't even mention signing the contract again!
The main feature is that we only provide services and do not charge any money.
This kind of service attitude is rare in the entire entertainment industry.
After all, even An Luning, who is famous for her generosity in the circle, had to make demands when Bai Youlou wanted to trick her into doing something bad.
Must determine the relationship.
Qiu Yanran seemed to have transformed into a female bodhisattva, only giving without asking for anything in return.
Such a lofty ideological realm is beyond the reach of Bai Youlou.
Of course, if the other party wanted to retreat in order to advance, and deliberately used this method to hook Bai Youlou, then she might have overestimated Brother Lou's quality.
He actually has no morals.
It's not impossible to do something like getting something for free.
If you don't set any conditions, then there are no conditions.
Who isn't a master at pretending to be confused?
"Director Bai, the internet is going crazy about this, are you not interested?"
Qiu Yanran raised her cell phone with an excited look on her face, as if she wanted to invite Bai Youlou to join her in eating melons.
However, Bai Youlou stared at her red knees and frowned, "Change into a skirt that goes below the knees later."
Qiu Yanran was shocked, "I am wearing a long skirt, you just pulled it up"
"Ahem, let's talk about things on the internet. Have the bed photos been posted?"
Bai Youlou calculated the time and it was almost time for Long Ziqiang to throw out the key evidence and win this online battle.
At the same time, it was also the final moment for him to put on the pure green crown and "crown" the victim.
It is definitely inappropriate to post videos, and spreading obscenity will result in a criminal sentence!
Capturing some photos and blurring some parts is a good option.
"It's outrageous. The background of the photo is Long Ziqiang and his girlfriend's wedding photo."
Qiu Yanran didn't know what Bai Youlou and the others were planning. When she saw this thing on her phone, she was really surprised.
I couldn't help but feel sympathy for Long Ziqiang.
After all, we have acted together, we know each other's professional level is superb, and we have a good relationship. Apart from this kind of thing, how can we not sympathize with each other.
"The male lead is Aqiang's cousin." Bai Youlou said casually.
This time Qiu Yanran couldn't hold it in any longer and cursed: "Fuck!"
The curse was pronounced in a clear and loud voice, without any accent at all.
Qiu Yanran speaks very good Mandarin and basically has no accent when filming, but she still has a bit of Taiwanese accent in her daily speech, except when she is swearing.
But as an artist, it is very important to control your mouth.
It is obvious that Qiu Yanran has not been in good shape recently, except for swearing.
"We don't need to pay too much attention to this matter. By the time the movie is released, Long Ziqiang's online sympathy will have almost disappeared, and he looks so miserable in the movie."
Qiu Yanran is also an old dramatist, so she can naturally understand it.
"So this was planned in advance? You didn't even tell me~"
Who are you? I'll tell you.
It’s not that Bai Youlou’s quality is so low, just like Qiu Yanran subconsciously said "wow" just now, Bai Youlou also did it subconsciously.
"Drink some water and rinse your mouth."
Hearing this, Qiu Yanran was not embarrassed at all.
Unfortunately, he won't do that.
Generally speaking, unless the girl has special requests, Bai Youlou will tend to respect the other party.
It can also be regarded as a way to respect Lin Juntao, our partner.
Although it is unclear what the relationship between Lin Juntao and Qiu Yanran is now, they are brothers in the same trench after all.
So Bai Youlou began to ponder.
Qiu Yanran didn't understand why this guy suddenly entered the "thinking" state, but seeing Bai Youlou being so "serious", she naturally didn't dare to disturb our great director's thinking.
What if she comes up with some good ideas or a book suitable for her?
Qiu Yanran's thoughts were all over the place. She seemed to have already thought of her future success. She would follow Bai Youlou and have him write scripts for her. She would win many awards and become the top box office actress.
As a result, the bastard was lost in thought all the way to the airport.
When getting off the car, Qiu Yanran couldn't help but ask him what he was thinking about just now.
Bai Youlou yawned, "Pasta should be mixed with No. 42 concrete!"
Qiu Yanran: ???
-
The divorce lawsuit between Long Ziqiang and his wife is about to begin.
If nothing unexpected happens, the divorce process of these two people will run through the release period of the movie.
It seems that it will affect Long Ziqiang's subsequent roadshows, and in fact it does.
But it doesn’t matter. Even though he is going through a divorce lawsuit, he can still bring a lot of attention to the movie.
His wife is basically out of options now.
She had the upper hand at the beginning, but now she is panicking.
She could get some money by divorcing Long Ziqiang, but the defeat in the online confrontation completely destroyed her future.
This woman is planning to start a live broadcast to make money.
The plan of Long Ziqiang's wife is to throw dirty water on Long Ziqiang, suck him up before the divorce, and then turn around and become a big anchor by relying on the popularity and traffic.
It is indeed a good idea to destroy the other party while achieving your own success.
After all, she knew that if she asked for money, Long Ziqiang would not give her much.
Most of the money the other party earns is in real estate, which is a pre-marital asset.
As for the accusations of domestic violence and even tax evasion, they were basically refuted one by one.
A welcome reversal!
Therefore, the only lesson mankind has learned from history is that it has learned no lesson from history.
It still applies today.
This kind of thing happens almost every year, not just in the entertainment industry.
Every now and then something happens and indignant netizens take sides and start firing.
As a result, when things turned around, it was really painful to be slapped in the face.
Then continue next time.
Public opinion, public opinion, what a good thing~
Therefore, Bai Youlou plans to "rent" the public relations department of Manli Entertainment for a long time, and will contact them for any work in the future.
right!
In the micro-film "Old Boy" which was a big hit, the leading actors Long Ziqiang and Zhen Dongjun formed a group.
It doesn't matter what their group was called before, anyway, their group's name is now.
Hat brothers!
The name of this group is so famous that it is quite explosive.
In the eyes of the public, Long Ziqiang also became an unlucky guy similar to Zhen Dongjun.
"This is just the beginning. They are even more unlucky in the movie."
It’s a very straightforward “provocation” method, but very effective.
No matter what, the "big girl" in "Dying to Survive", who has been hidden for a long time, is finally going to meet everyone.
