Since we are both reborn, of course I would choose the rich woman!

Chapter 435 I'll Take Care of Lü Yao (Please Subscribe)

Lü Yao is a legendary figure on the internet. As long as they have internet access, even celebrities will pay more or less attention to Lü Yao.

Especially since their episode was to be filmed in Litang, the production team had already informed the celebrities of the situation before they even arrived.

Celebrities, in the old jargon, are called "stars," but no matter how great a star they are, they are still just actors. And actors are always ruthless and heartless; even if there is any so-called loyalty or affection, it is often easily broken.

why?

Because of the "spotlight" effect.

When the spotlight shines on you, you become the focus of everyone's attention. Money, fame, love, and everything else will come rushing in with the spotlight. But once the spotlight disappears, everything that flocked to you because of the spotlight will go away with it.

The sudden shift in mood is not so easy to smooth out. Just like after returning from a lively banquet, many people feel that the surroundings are too quiet. If you are a party regular, it is very easy to take some people who do not want to go home after the party ends.

Do those people really want to have something happen with someone they've only just met?

no.

However, a party after it ends is always more lively than an empty and quiet home, and one of the unspoken rules of human social interaction is that if you want a warm embrace, you have to be prepared for something to happen.

This leads to the fact that true connoisseurs, after reaching a certain level, actually prefer to sleep on bare skin.

If the world of ordinary people is like this, then what about those celebrities?

Therefore, in this industry, people will stop at nothing to gain exposure, traffic, and appear in the public eye. Creating CP pairings, generating scandals, and engaging in feuds are all commonplace.

In order to obtain resources, it's common for people to sell their souls and bodies, and even betray those around them. There are also many people in this circle who have no real ability but have managed to get to where they are. These people occupy resources without doing anything and usually disappear like shooting stars. But those who have been in this circle for a long time still have to put on a brave face and play along with their antics.

In short, the degree to which this circle alienates people is beyond what ordinary people can imagine, even if they hear about it.

When Lü Yao was studying abroad, he met a minor actress who was only a 7th or 8th tier in the entertainment industry. Lü Yao was naturally good at sweet talk, so after a few meetings, he won her over and became her "confidant." During the process of confiding in her, he learned a lot of juicy gossip and also experienced the "juicy gossip" in that industry.

To be honest, the young actress that Lü Yao met was much prettier than many of the first, second, and third-tier stars in the entertainment industry today. However, that young actress just couldn't get a chance to stand out. Instead, she was betrayed countless times in the process of seeking opportunities, which eventually led to varying degrees of psychological and personal damage to her.

This is the cruel reality of the entertainment industry.

So when Shaunaly asked him to enter the entertainment industry, he was extremely unwilling. He would rather achieve nothing than be disgusted by that circle.

Lu Yao's current situation proves that his choice was very correct - if you've been reborn, who would still want to be a star?

What a waste of natural resources!
Once something becomes capital, so-called celebrities are nothing more than playthings that can be summoned and dismissed at will.

Even the director of the "Running Man" team has a higher status and position than the regular guests and special guests on the show when speaking to the public.

After exchanging pleasantries with Lü Yao, Yao Tianyi introduced the main stars, including Chao Ge, He He, and Angela, to Lü Yao. Lü Yao did a good job of maintaining appearances, shaking hands and greeting each of these variety show personalities one by one. His humble yet enthusiastic attitude made them feel very good.

On their first day in Litang, everyone tacitly avoided discussing work. The big boss from Ganzi and the boss from Litang hosted a welcome dinner for the production crew at a newly opened local restaurant in Litang.

At the dinner table, after the program's director Yao Tianyi and chief planner Wang Junjie finished toasting, they asked the accompanying celebrities to get up and toast and perform for the big boss from Ganzi, the boss from Litang, and Lü Yao.

In the entertainment industry, you may not be proficient in other skills, but you must be proficient in all the tricks at the dinner table, because there are only so many things to talk about in this industry. How can you get by if you don't know some unorthodox methods?

In this industry, actors who perform in plays, sketches, or even crosstalk can all create hilarious moments on screen, so why should the resources fall into your lap?

and so.

Popular celebrities may not necessarily have the best acting skills and professional abilities, but they are definitely great at interpersonal relationships.

After a few rounds of drinks, the atmosphere at the banquet became incredibly lively. There were comedians and beautiful female celebrities present, so the conversation gradually became less pleasant.

Fortunately, at the dinner table, whether it was Lü Yao, the big boss from Ganzi, or the boss from Litang, everyone was relatively sober—in fact, it was mainly Lü Yao who was relatively sober. Although Lü Yao did not yet hold an official position, everyone in Sichuan knew about his special status. The summons from the big boss Wang further solidified all the speculations.

With Lü Yao present and remaining unmoved, how could the big bosses from Ganzi and Litang, who had been in this game for so many years, dare to act recklessly? If they left a bad impression on Lü Yao, their future might be ruined.

Therefore, although the welcoming banquet was lively, there seemed to be an invisible barrier between the people, which kept the development of the story within a certain limit.

Later in the show, the program's director, Yao Tianyi, raised his glass to Lü Yao. The director was already quite drunk, his face flushed, and he toasted Lü Yao, saying, "Mr. Lü, to be honest, you are someone I greatly admire. A well-known contemporary entrepreneur and a public figure with a huge influence on the internet, you are truly a role model for us all!"

Lu Yao has a high alcohol tolerance. Although he's a little tipsy, his mind is still very clear. He chuckled and said, "Not at all, it's all luck. I'm only where I am today because of the help of my friends."

Yao Tianyi quickly waved his hand and said, "You're too modest! I'll toast you!"

He then picked up the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp.

This bold gesture drew applause and cheers from everyone at the table.

Amid the cheers, Yao Tianyi said somewhat embarrassedly, "President Lü, I have a favor to ask."

Lu Yao chuckled inwardly. The fact that the other person could say that meant he wasn't drunk at all and had come with a purpose. So Lu Yao responded enthusiastically, "Director Yao, please go ahead."

Yao Tianyi looked a little embarrassed and said, "Mr. Lü, I know that you have a great influence on the Internet, so our program team would like to invite you to participate in our program. This will definitely be beneficial to the promotion of our tourism here, and at the same time, it will also increase your influence on the Internet. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this request, the big bosses from Ganzi and Litang were taken aback. Then, the big boss from Ganzi stood up to help Lü Yao out of the predicament and laughed, "Director Yao, you're putting our President Lü in a difficult position. Since President Lü started his own self-media variety show, he hasn't done many shows. He told me in private that making shows is too tiring and he doesn't dare to do them anymore."

The big boss from Ganzi, holding a wine glass, came to Director Yao's side and said, "Actually, we have some people here who are quite suitable for appearing on the show, such as Lu Hong, who is in charge of culture and tourism. What do you think of him?"

The big boss from Ganzi skillfully deflected the topic of Director Yao's conversation, leaving Lü Yao with peace and quiet. Lü Yao, witnessing this, felt a pang of emotion.

Even in a harsh and cold place like western Sichuan, the outstanding people who can reach the position of big boss in Ganzi are impeccable in terms of interpersonal relationships, attention to detail, and handling of matters.

When Yao Tianyi came over to make the request, Lü Yao didn't even show any particular reaction or expression. He just frowned slightly and pondered for a moment when the big boss from Ganzi personally came up to cover for him.

It was only in a place like western Sichuan that Yao Tianyi and his group had the opportunity to interact with the big boss from Ganzi.

If they had gone just a little further east, Yao Tianyi and his gang wouldn't have been able to meet anyone, let alone the big boss in Ganzi, or even Lu Hong and his group, much less be able to act like brothers with their arms around each other like this now.

This is the charm of power.

People outside this circle can't understand this feeling.

The reason why the big boss in Ganzi was willing to lower himself and mingle with Yao Tianyi and his group is ultimately because they are eager to make progress and boost the local economy. Having tasted success in the internet-based cultural tourism economy, they are naturally very willing to continue to expand their gains in this field.

Essentially, it's the same as overseas businessmen going to Dahai City in Suzhou to discuss business.

Although Yao Tianyi is the chief director of the Running Man program, he is actually not very old and his experience is not that rich. He really couldn't handle the big boss of Ganzi who condescended to play with him. Before long, he was squeezed out by the big boss of Ganzi with his high status.

When the banquet finally ended, everyone seemed to part ways in a harmonious and lively manner.

However, when the Running Man crew returned to the guesthouse they had booked, Yao Tianyi's expression changed the moment he entered.

The joy and excitement that had been radiating from them quickly cooled down. Once back in the upstairs lobby, Yao Tianyi picked up his water glass and chugged it down in one go. He was a seasoned drinker, and tonight's little bit of alcohol was no match for him.

After the burning sensation in his stomach subsided, Yao Tianyi sat down in the main seat of the living room with a gloomy face.

Chief planner Wang Junjie, Chao Ge, Hehe and other regular cast members stood around looking dejected. After a long while, chief director Yao Tianyi sighed and said, "I didn't expect that the people here, who look so simple and honest, are actually very cunning. I haven't even gotten anything yet, but they've already put a complete novice into our show."

At this point, the older and more shrewd Chao Ge laughed and said, "Well, we're guests from afar, and their status is different from ours, so it's normal for them to agree."

The others joined in the laughter, saying, "Yeah, yeah, that's normal."

"That's a resource too. Lu Hong's image isn't bad, so maybe it can be effective."

Yao Tianyi had a cold face, and was quite displeased inside.

Who is Lu Hong?

How can he compare to Lü Yao?

Lu Yao is a well-known and influential super celebrity on the internet. He is the wishing tree of the internet, the patriarch of the internet's entertainment industry, a well-known entrepreneur on the internet, and one of the youngest leaders in China's high-tech industry.

And now, Lü Yao is still a pioneer in the large-scale development of cultural tourism in western Sichuan.

Lu Yao's online fan base includes not only ordinary people with little value on the internet, but also various "Gugu Sisters" and "Gaga Brothers," as well as a considerable number of entrepreneurs, investors, and even domestic and foreign intelligence agencies.

If Lü Yao can participate in their program, firstly, the ratings will definitely be guaranteed.

This is Lü Yao's first time participating in a variety show; it's his variety show debut!

Just by releasing this gimmick, their show's ratings are sure to be high.

Secondly, if a very good relationship can be established with Lü Yao on the show, then both the guests on the show and the entire show will receive attention from the investment and business communities. The guests on the show can gain far more than they imagined, and the sponsorships attracted by the "Running Man" show will also increase accordingly.

Because of Lü Yao's extraordinary personal influence, Yao Tianyi even tried to persuade him to become a shareholder of the program.

When the station heard Yao Tianyi's proposal, it was unusual that everyone unanimously approved it, a speed that was astonishing.

The problem now is that Lü Yao doesn't want to have too much contact with them.

How is this possible?

Lu Yao's deliberate distancing made Yao Tianyi feel very uncomfortable and anxious.

Since the Running Man program was renamed and the previous director left, the ratings for the new Running Man program have declined. The ratings for the previous season were about 15 percent lower than the season before last. If the ratings don't improve this year, their income will drop significantly, and Yao Tian's resume will be tarnished.

Even before filming began this season, he had heard rumors that some of the regular cast members wanted to quit.

Continuing to appear on a show with declining ratings and popularity can damage a celebrity's personal fame, and fame is money itself.

Therefore, in the entertainment industry, it's common to add flowers to brocade, but it's unlikely to offer charcoal in the snow.

After pondering for a while, Yao Tianyi said, "You all know what kind of status and position President Lü has. If any of you can get President Lü to participate in our program, then we can arrange more screen time for you on the program."

After saying that, Yao Tianyi added meaningfully, "That's President Lü."

After a brief silence, the atmosphere in the room suddenly seemed to become tense.

A dozen seconds later, Angela from the team quickly seized the opportunity and said decisively, "I'll go and handle President Lü!"
