Abstract Art Award Winner

Chapter 96: We are all poor, don’t spend money on me
Bathing in the Nuanyang: "Hahaha, this is hilarious. This is the first time I've been invited by so many big guys and asked them to line up."

YS Xiaochen: "As expected of my brother Le. By the way, when will the polka dot skirt be arranged?"

I love Li Xiaoran: "Kill Legou, grab Xiaoran. Sorry, brothers, we went to the wrong set."

Zhou Le checked Weibo for a while during the break, but soon he saw the news about the chart-topping event.

He frowned for a moment.

"Xiao Su, what's going on with this chart?"

Su Yingxia explained, "It's a ranking created by Weibo. It can be considered a popularity ranking, but it's mainly tied to the purchasing power of fans. Ordinary fans complete tasks and send flowers, while those with the financial resources can just spend money directly."

"Will the money the fans spend reach me?"

"Yes, Weibo will take 20%."

Zhou Le thought about it and decided that the company should at least return the money it took to the company to provide resources, not to mention paying taxes. This was only natural.

But Weibo is purely for making money.

Thinking of this, I went back to read the comments.

I found a few replies.

"@TSANG, how many spicy noodles can you buy with this money? Even if it's just to improve the food, from now on, you're not allowed to spend money except on movies. I'll block you for three days as punishment."

"@@If you have time, update more. Don't spend money and don't do the tasks. You work during the day and do this at night. What's the point?"

"@魔林一剑, you're right, just keep the money for yourself."

Although most people say that money is useful, there are also many people who are willing to support it.

Zhou Le blocked everyone who said they had spent money for three days, but found that he couldn't get back to them.

After much thought, I decided to post a separate Weibo post.

"Brothers, I just saw the chart-topping thing. To be honest, it's really unnecessary. We're all poor, so there's no need to do this. If you have money, wouldn't you just buy a few pounds of spare ribs? Or you can show your filial piety to your parents. If that doesn't work, buy yourself some new clothes, treat your girlfriends and brothers to a meal, or buy two tickets for a movie when it comes out, bring your girlfriend or boyfriend to show your support, or if you can support Le Er, the Chinese products you endorse, I'll be very grateful.

If I really can't make it one day, I will shamelessly go to my brothers to eat for free. As long as they don't complain about the extra food, it will be fine. So if I see anyone spending money again, I will really block them. "

Finally, let me make it clear that we brothers should just play by ourselves. No matter what others say, that's their freedom. Don't scold them. I, Zhou Le, don't have such a brother. If there ever comes a time when I need to speak out, I'll do it myself.

Zhou Le knows that there are all kinds of people among fans.

But I always heard fans in the entertainment industry causing trouble, so Zhou Le knew it was time to cut ties.

Otherwise, you will be bitten back sooner or later.

Zhou Le knew clearly which was more important: eating less meat or never eating meat again.

After that, Zhou Le no longer cared what others said.

After the script meeting ended in the evening, Zhou Le was in the room. Nazha, Meng Ziyi, and Yu Shuxin did not come to chat with him. Zhou Le was a little bored, and he had already figured out the script.

On the one hand, Zhou Le himself was too lazy to watch it.

Oda is currently thinking about a role and is waiting to audition after the New Year so as not to disturb him.

Zhou Le plans to download some games online to play.

Then I found a video software.

Zhou Le knew about foreign YouTube channels, but that required climbing over the Great Firewall, so Zhou Le thought it was too troublesome and didn't try it.

But he still had to answer questions on Bilibili, and those questions were too difficult, and Zhou Le couldn't answer them.

So I downloaded one out of curiosity to see.

Then I saw that it was filled with all kinds of videos, some of which were about life, some were funny, and some were borderline.

“This is quite interesting.”

Zhou Le thought that he could also post some videos. As an actor, it would be a good thing to have more popularity.

But ordinary videos are boring, and suddenly I caught a glimpse of a big bucket of Coke on the table.

There was also the mint candy that Su Yingxia bought for herself on the table.

He suddenly had an idea.

When I was in college, there was a dinner party. My roommate named Xiao Tao, who now works in a design institute, accidentally dropped a mint candy into his Coke. Bubbles immediately surged, and Xiao Tao wanted to block it with his mouth.

As you can imagine, it cannot be stopped at all.

Finally, all the Coke sprayed out from below.

Several others were shocked.

Everyone bought Coke and tried again, but in the end only Zhou Le succeeded.

Afterwards, Zhou Le simply placed his phone to replicate the original scene.

But he also used a basin to catch it underneath.

Otherwise someone would say it’s a waste.

It was a success at once. I drank the Coke in the basin, finished the recording, and then sent it out.

He didn't expect it to be very popular, after all, it was just the beginning.

After finishing, I washed up and went to bed.

The next morning I came to the set to put on makeup and change clothes.

At around ten o'clock, after finishing the first scene of the day, Su Yingxia came over with her cell phone in hand, looking complicated.

"Brother Le, you don't care about your image!"

Zhou Le didn't understand what he meant.

"what happened?"

"Take a look at this video." Su Yingxia handed over the phone.

Zhou Le took a look and found that it was exactly what he had posted on Douyin yesterday.

As of now, the number of likes has reached more than 50,000.

There are also more than 10,000 comments. Zhou Lele was happy: "So many people are watching? It seems that my video is popular!"

Su Yingxia took the phone back with a look of disappointment: "Brother Le, you may be popular this way, but you will definitely not have the resources for big-name fashion brands in the future!"

Zhou Le smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. The big brands you're talking about are Chanel, Dior, and so on. What's so good about endorsing these brands? They treat our Chinese market like fools, insulting us every few days. If we lose them, then we're gone. We don't have to terminate the contract and argue with each other later."

"That's true, but sometimes fashion resources also represent the artist's status."

Zhou Le shook his head. "That's fine. They're Dior spokespeople, and I'm a volunteer officially selected by the Palace Museum. I don't think I'm any worse than them. Besides, aren't the products endorsed by Brother Jing all domestically produced?"

"But they also have foreign brands like Pepsi."

"Then I don't need it. Anyway, for future endorsements, please help me choose a domestic brand, a higher quality one."

"Brother Le, are you planning to keep following this route from now on?"

"Well, let's go this route. I think it's good."

"Okay, Brother Le, you have the final say."

Zhou Le found that Xiao Su seemed to have grown up without him noticing.

He didn't feel that the other party was contradicting him when he said those things just now. After all, those were all the truth.

Compared to his previous immaturity, he is indeed much more experienced now.

“But I can’t delete this video.”

Su Yingxia was helpless: "If you want to go this route, then don't delete it. I actually think it's quite amusing."

"Of course it's fun, do you want to try it?" Zhou Le encouraged.

"I don't want to. I have a small mouth and I will definitely not succeed."

Zhou Le took a look and said, "Is that so? I remember it was quite..."

Before she could finish her words, Su Yingxia punched Zhou Le's biceps with her pink fist: "Brother Le, you're so annoying!"

He then turned around and fled the scene.

Zhou Le touched his chest and said, "Tsk, I don't have much strength. It turns out I lack exercise."

But the days go by one by one.

In January, Zhou Le took a leave to attend the NetEase Music Festival, but just after he left, he learned that the crew was on holiday.

Zhou Le was so angry that he called director Kong Sheng directly and said frankly that he was not asking for leave this time.

Kong Sheng also agreed happily.

He also asked Zhou Le to try to win more awards.

Zhou Le did not win a separate award, but "Young and Promising" won the top ten songs of the year.

Here, Zhou Le also met Mao Buyi, and he found that this boy looked a little shy.

When I learned that she was a nurse before, I immediately took a liking to her.

After all, there is another companion who has changed careers.

Here, Zhou Le also met Wang Yitai, who is a rapper, but his song "Unblinking Eyes", which was also selected as one of the top ten songs, is very catchy.

Besides, it's already pretty cool to win the top ten songs and new artist of the year with a rap song.

"Brother Le, I've seen your movies too. I know you're also a musician. Maybe we can collaborate in the future."

"As for collaboration, I don't actually have much creative talent. Those songs are all from other people, and I know even less about rap. The one I'm most familiar with is probably "I'm not going to work tomorrow."

"Thank you, Boss. We're very familiar with each other. I work for his label. It's a pity that I have to go to Xinjiang Province to play with Ere soon, and Teacher Zhou may also be busy. Otherwise, I would have liked to treat you to dinner alone."

"Ah? I want to go too. When are you leaving?"

"tomorrow morning."

"That's different. I'll be there tomorrow at noon."

"pity."

And so, they each went back to the hotel.

Zhou Le went back to Yu Qian's house in the evening to have a meal and visit his godfather.

In fact, Zhou Le still feels very warm every time he comes back, at least he feels at home.

"Brother Le, can you stay a few more days?" Yu Siyang sat next to Zhou Le and said pitifully.

"That's probably not possible. I have to go out tomorrow."

"Hey, Brother Le, now I can only play King of Glory with you for a while longer. Usually, when Brother Dalin comes, he doesn't help me."

"There's nothing I can do. If it doesn't work out, I'll come back and stay for a few days after I'm done with my work."

"Okay! This is what you said!"

"I said, sir, a word is a nail, and a word is a promise!"

Just then, Bai Huimin's voice rang out from the living room.

"It's already so late and you're still pestering me, Brother Zhou Le? It's time to go to bed!"

Yu Siyang shuddered all over.

"I know, Mom. I just had a question I couldn't solve, so I asked Brother Le."

After saying that, he quickly took off his clothes and got into bed.

The next day, Zhou Le got up and had breakfast at home. Guo Qiling happened to come to visit, so he drove Zhou Le to the airport.

"Brother Le, say hello to Sister Nazha for me."

"Haha, no problem. Let's get together again when I come back."

Afterwards, Zhou Le entered the airport and boarded the first-class cabin to visit Nazha's crew.
