Huayu's rise from top star to best actor

Chapter 87 You Are Not Worthy of Being on the PK Stage with Me (Two in One)

"Then I want to eat spicy crayfish and bullfrog!" Meng Ziyi suggested.

Xu Yien asked back, "It's winter now, the quality of crayfish is uneven. How about changing one?"

"Really? There's such a saying?" Meng Ziyi scratched his forehead and said embarrassedly: "Then let's change it? What do you think is better?"

Her family is quite wealthy, but in the entertainment industry, if you are not a top rich second generation like Yao Anna, you have to make your living the same way, and it basically does not help your future. There are also many actors from ordinary families who market themselves as rich second generations.

Take Yu Shuxin for example. She has been working part-time as a WeChat purchasing agent in recent years. No matter how you look at it, she has nothing to do with the 40 billion yuan fortune.

To put it bluntly, you either have to be a second-generation star or a second-generation rich man. Otherwise, it’s useless even if your family has hundreds of millions of dollars in assets. You are not considered a particularly powerful figure in the circle.

"Yeah, that's true, but you can eat it if you want."

"Then I'd better not change it. Who eats meat when eating crayfish? Isn't it just a few sips of seasoning?" After hearing what Xu Yien said, Meng Ziyi still felt determined to eat the spicy crayfish dish. You can't eat too much for midnight snacks, otherwise you will gain weight tomorrow.

"Okay."

After agreeing on a time, Xu Yien took his assistant back to the hotel to rest. Normally, when they were on the crew, they were all makeup artists, and security was also the responsibility of the crew, so the rest of the people were free to move around, and their salaries were still paid, but they were not allowed to leave Hengdian.

This is the case in the circle now. If staff members follow an artist around every day, they will be rumored to have an improper relationship.

For example, Wang Junkai’s agent is his aunt, but his rivals bought negative press releases saying that she is his lover.

Gee.
There are so many things going on between assistant agents and actors in the industry, so rumors can be spread in any way.

After returning to the hotel room, he took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and put on a thick black down jacket over his denim jacket. Then Xu Yien called the employees to go out for a midnight snack together.

"Let's go, let's go!"

"What are we having for dinner tonight, boss?"

"I'm greedy." Liu Cheng, the assistant, licked his tongue and swallowed his saliva.

Seeing how they were all enjoying their meals, Xu Yien said with a smile, "Order some crayfish and bullfrog hotpot. As for the rest, just order whatever you want. But remember, even if you want to drink, you can only drink beer, one bottle or less. Don't get too drunk, or you won't be able to get back to the hotel."

"Don't worry, boss, we know!" Fatty said confidently.

Everyone goes out fully armed in down jackets or cotton-padded jackets, preferring warmth over style, not to mention that today's winter clothing designs are quite nice, and you can buy clothes of very good design and quality for a few hundred yuan. This is because Xu Yien has to wear more expensive private clothes as a celebrity, and the clothes are all worth hundreds or thousands of yuan, and the new models given by Burberry are worth tens of thousands of yuan.

You have to know that when Xu Yien was in college, he always bought cheaper clothes at the night market than anyone else.

But nowadays, students don’t need to compete in night markets anymore. They all choose Pinduoduo. Whoever can buy good clothes at a cheap price is the cool one.

Wear a pair of designer sunglasses with orange lenses. In the evening when there is no sun, simply clip them on your hair to create a look that will give you a somewhat cool vibe.

He arrived at the reserved restaurant earlier than Meng Ziyi and others, started ordering food, and told the waiter to wait until everyone was there before serving the food. Meng Ziyi also came quickly, dragging his tired body to the box with his assistant. When he saw Xu Yien, he regained his energy.

There is nothing more comfortable than being treated to a meal by someone else!
Not to mention that the person who treated us was Xu Yien, the super handsome guy~
This is what Meng Ziyi is thinking at the moment.

"Here we are, tell the waiter to prepare the food."

"OKK~" Meng Ziyi and her assistant were the only two of them, and no one else was on her side. Compared to Xu Yien's side with six or seven people, it was still not very impressive. After all, the film and television company they signed with only assigned one assistant. If they hired other people, they would have to pay for it themselves, which was not cost-effective. It would be better to wait until they became famous and then gradually improve their own team, which was exactly what Xu Yien was thinking at the time.

Every bit you can save is a bit.

Meng Ziyi asked happily like a silly girl: "What dishes did you order?"

"It's the lobster and bullfrog you asked for, and then some dry pot and stir-fried seasonal vegetables." Xu Yien replied.

"That's it~"

"Yes."

"Okay~"

After calling the waiter to prepare the dishes and ordering some drinks, everyone started to enjoy the delicious food. Putting on gloves, Xu Yien picked up the fan bone and started to chew it. It was fragrant and spicy and very enjoyable to eat. There is nothing more enjoyable than having a midnight snack.

They all put on gloves and started eating like starving ghosts. Among them, Xu Yien and Meng Ziyi enjoyed their meal more. Because actors have to manage their body shape, they were of course very happy to eat something spicy and oily.

"Is it delicious?" Xu Yien asked casually with oil on the corner of his mouth as he looked at Meng Ziyi.

"Hahahaha, you're so cute, baby. Wipe your mouth~" Meng Ziyi said foolishly, "It's delicious. I love it."

But she quickly realized something was wrong and said, "No, no, no, it's not the baby, it's Teacher Xu."

In fact, she had called many people "baby", but she rarely corrected them specifically because everyone else knew she had no ambiguous intentions. But this time she was shy and kept opening her mouth to make amends, looking very flustered.

Not only her assistant was surprised, but Xu Yien's employees were also shocked, but they just didn't say anything.

Watch is watch, witness is witness, keep your mouth shut.

The bosses’ affairs are not something their employees can control.

Xu Yien, on the other hand, looked calm and said with a chuckle, "Call me whatever you like, as long as you're happy."

I've seen the world.

Being turned down by a beautiful woman two years his senior means he has seen a lot of ups and downs. It is not in line with Xu Yien's experience to be so shocked by such a small thing. People will change more or less unconsciously.

Meng Ziyi became shy and timid, which was a rare thing for this silly girl.

She just scratched her forehead and chuckled foolishly. The atmosphere gradually returned to normal and everyone continued to eat as if it was no surprise. Eating melons is not as important as eating. It is not a bad thing to confess your feelings in person. It is still more comfortable to eat!
After the meal, everyone went their separate ways. Meng Ziyi wanted to say something to Xu Yien, but after thinking about it, he buried the idea in his heart. He just watched Xu Yien's back as he got into the car, not knowing what was going on in his mind.

After taking two vitamin B pills, Xu Yien plans to run 7 kilometers early tomorrow morning, otherwise this meal would be a sin. You can't buy the kind of health supplements when buying vitamins, you have to buy OTC ones, mainly because they are cheap, just over 2 yuan a bottle. The pharmacy recommends vitamins worth dozens of yuan just to make commission from you, the big bastard.

Every industry has its own unspoken rules, and the medical field is no exception. But needless to say, just avoid the risks that you need to use or come into contact with.

Due to Xu Yien's frequent leave for various schedules, the filming was postponed to after the New Year and it was not until January 1th. This time, Xu Yien had to shoot materials for Safeguard again, and was the brand spokesperson for the entire line, but the main shooting was for the new pomegranate-scented shower gel.

Many people have previously said that the endorsements for KFC and Safeguard were from Deng Wei, because Deng Wei’s team was indeed licking the business.

But now the people who were warming up the news are saying that it is Xu Yien's endorsement, which has caused a huge psychological gap on the other side. Wei's daily activities are to fight with Xu's fans and abuse them for purification. Xu Yien's fans don't even bother to look at her. If you are not of the same level, don't force yourself to get involved.

In fact, this is also a routine bundling policy in the circle.

For example, Luo Yunxi tied up with Deng Lun, Guli Nazha tied up with Dilraba Dilmurat, Yang Yang tied up with Li He, and now there is a new Deng Wei tied up with Xu Yien. They all have the support of the team behind them.

As long as you can tie it up, you're getting the upper hand.

In fact, they can't even make it to the PK stage, so their fans are just having fun and bullying other fans at the same time.

PK with you would lower my own value.

Um.
Now Xu Yien’s comment site [Yi Ge Comment] refuses to participate in the Weibo comment control with the word Deng Wei, and ignores it at all. As long as we ignore it, there will be no quarrel at all.

Most artists now take such measures because Runyu's tearing of Fenghuang successfully achieved the goal of "equal status" in the eyes of a small number of audiences. Everyone is not stupid. There are so many examples in the past. It would seem exaggerated to suffer losses now.

Even if the fans don't fight with them.

But passers-by will still be misled.

No matter what, the famous ones will suffer, because the audience has all kinds of inexplicable filters for the obscure ones, and then they start to torture them once they become famous. But in fact, the problem is easy to solve, and acting skills are always the best weapon to make a comeback.

For example, Cheng Yi was whistled at by Bilibili when he was on the road to becoming a popular star with Chen Xiang Ruxie. But in fact, Bilibili made his fortune with Yu Sifeng. Everyone said that he was a handsome man in ancient costume, a male god who created a sense of brokenness, and one of the most popular characters of the year on Bilibili. After being whistled at, his reputation plummeted.

Relying on the good script of Lianhualou and his good acting skills, he used the character Li Xiangyi's favorability to spread all over Bilibili.

There was also Meng Ziyi, who was the subject of all kinds of rumors. Lei Chun later proved her acting skills and with the help of variety shows, her reputation was reversed.

For the actors anyway.

Acting skills are the best tool for turning things around.

Good acting skills are the bottom line.

As for Xu Yien, there was no reason for him to be laughed at. At most, he was 184 but lied to others about being 183.
Well, this is not a big deal. He was 183cm tall when he debuted and grew 1cm taller later. It is not Xu Yien's fault. If the information on Baidu Encyclopedia is changed rashly, some haters will come and say that Xu Yien lied about her height.

Rather than being criticized, it is better to lie about your height.

At that time, you can just go on a show to measure your height and then say that you are insincere, which will perfectly solve this problem. In fact, many male actors now lie about their height. Male actors who are over 185 cm tall sometimes report their height lower. It is really too inward-looking.

At the headquarters of Safeguard, Xu Yien took a pomegranate and started shooting pictorial photos, as well as various material videos.

The clothes are all pure white suits, shirts and trousers. After all, Safeguard sells shower gels and soaps, so of course they have to conform to the brand's concept of purity.

Originally, the brand wanted Xu Yien to wear Shen Wei's three-piece suit and gold-rimmed glasses to shoot commercials and make money.

But ever since Xiangliu came out, they wished Xu Yien had welded the white clothes on his body. Professor Shen had been abandoned by the investors.

The main reason is that Xu Yien is not an idol like Lu Han or Wu Yike, who debuted without any works and relied solely on their looks and charm to attract fans. The route is different, and the customized plan is naturally different. As an actor, of course, he has to reap the benefits of the role!
All brands think this way.

Not to mention that Xu Yien has been bet on in too many dramas.

The S-level martial arts male lead "Lotus Tower", the S+ fairy tale ancient idol "Chen Xiang Ru Xie" and the S-level Tencent exclusive current idol "Miss You So Much" waiting to start filming are all top resources for TV dramas.

At least it's not a perfunctory drama.

They all have real achievements. The broadcast volume of "Lotus Tower" ranked fifth in the year, the CCTV CVB ratings exceeded 1, Chenxiang Ruxie Cool Factory was second in the year, and it was the annual investment promotion champion. The performance of "I Miss You So Much" will be put aside for now. We can only say that it has no effect on whether it is broadcast normally or popularly, and it is very likely to be a hit.

As long as you have decent performance, capital will always be happy to cooperate with you. After all, top stars already have their own base. Even Dilraba Dilmurat's "An Le Zhuan" which was ridiculed as a flop is not comparable to any other actor.

The rough cut of Lotus Tower has been completed, and people in the industry who have seen the sample have a feeling that it will be a huge hit. It is definitely a high-quality martial arts blockbuster that is rare to see these days, and it is unlikely to fail.

"It's time to call it a day and finally take a shower and rest. I often use these two gel shower gels, the Camellia and Pomegranate. They smell really good, with the fruity aroma of pomegranate and the floral scent of camellia. They can be used to remove sunscreen after sweating and oily skin."

"OK, Mr. Xu, next one."

"Thank you for your hard work." Xu Yien was also polite and considerate of the other party.

Putting the two bottles of shower gel aside, Xu Yien shot another short video. After everything was handed over, Safeguard wrote the official Weibo text for Xu Yien's reply.

Sent it to Xu Yien, and the assistant also set a timer for it to be sent.

The content is as follows——

I listen to different voices every day, pushing boundaries and challenging myself. But when it comes to protecting my health, I only listen to @Safeguard. I'd like to share my story with you all later. #XuYiEnSafeguardBrandFullLineSpokesperson#

Celebrities’ Weibo accounts are basically dual-channel operations.

Weibo isn't like QQ or WeChat, where you log in and then go offline. So how can investors buy likes from online influencers? This is also why Weibo has fewer and fewer regular users, and the few tens of millions of daily active users are still driven by fan groups of various fan clubs.

After communicating every detail on the brand side, he took the employees away.

Next, Xu Yien had to fly to Star City to participate in the rehearsal of the New Year's Eve Gala. This New Year's Eve Gala was to perform two songs, "The Waiting That Can't Wait" and "Want to Stay", a character song written by a fan for Xiang Liu. The song title can be regarded as a pun.

The key is that the posts written by fans are really nice.

Xiangliu is the only one who receives this treatment in the whole play.

The rest of the people are really not enough to fight.

When fans learned that Xu Yien would be performing on New Year's Eve, they were ecstatic. It was truly a two-way rush. Xu Yien still cherishes his fans, but they belong to themselves.

No matter whether he leaves or not, at least he is his fan now.

When they left, Xu Yien's actual performance was probably sufficient, so he didn't need to rely too much on traffic.

The next day.

In Xingcheng, Xu Yien arrived at the Mango TV building and was received by the staff in charge of the New Year's Eve party. After sitting for a while, he began to rehearse the songs. He had sung "Waiting That Can't Wait" many times and knew it very well. He just needed to practice "Want to Stay";
The main rehearsal is still about movement.

“I also want to risk my life

Just to keep one person

But where the heart goes is never just love and hate

I once ran towards you
Like the moon rushing to the morning
But no one is really waiting at the end of the road
"

Regarding this song, Xu Yien's studio's Douyin video also used this song as a BGM clip. Celebrities care a lot about fans' secondary creations. An unknown person may have fans' secondary creations, but someone without fans' secondary creations is definitely an unknown person. It is possible to have high quality with a small number of people, but with a large number of people, the quality is low or even non-existent. I can't imagine what kind of person that celebrity is and how he can attract such a group of fans who know nothing.

There were also other stars who came to rehearse, such as Zhang Yixing, Song Qian and others.

I just met Song Qian in the corridor.

The two of them greeted each other politely but unfamiliarly.

"Hello, Teacher Song."

"Hello, Teacher Xu."

The two men shook hands and began to flatter each other.

"I like your Xiangliu very much, Teacher Xu. My mother likes it very much too."

"I also really like your song, 'The Roof is on Fire,'" Mr. Song.

After hearing the first few words, Song Qian burst out laughing and said, "To be honest, my mother wanted me to be with you at the time, and kept telling me how suitable you were."

Making friends is all about first impressions, and she also admires Xu Yien.

Of course, I have watched the two hit dramas "Guardian" and "Longing for You" for her current transformation into an actor. I have to admire Xu Yien's acting skills, especially his figure is really good. Although he is not as strong and broad as Huang Jinyu, he has a lower body fat percentage and a better-looking figure. Who doesn't like a handsome guy with a good figure?

If he had really come to play the second male lead in "The First Love of Thousand Years Old Master", I wouldn't have been so embarrassed to pursue Huang Jinyu and then be rejected.
Jin Yu is also capable. He can play with two women even though he is married, and both are beautiful women. To put it bluntly, there are not many male actors like him in the entertainment industry. He has big muscles and hormones, and many actresses like this. Huang Jinyu's agent even posted a message at the time saying that he would never appear on the same stage with Song Qian. The reason behind this is worth pondering.

"Hahahaha, it's my honor to be appreciated by your mother." Xu Yien couldn't help but laugh after hearing this, and said, "I really hope to work with Teacher Song in the future."

"Don't call me Teacher Song, just call me Song Qian." Song Qian also said with a smile.

Xu Yien responded: "Then just call me Yien."

After just a minute of conversation, the two exchanged WeChat accounts. Song Qian is even more of a heavyweight. If she hadn't been a returning idol transformed into an actress, she would have been classified into the all-star lineup of 85 flowers. However, she has now gradually been included in the 85 flowers.

However, she has just started to make achievements as an actress. Her plan is to start with idol dramas and then switch to serious dramas. After all, she has fans and overseas fame, and she has no shortage of fashion resources and business. Now that she has popularity, she will pursue results.

"Yi En, if I invite you to star in the MV for my new album, will you come?" Song Qian had an idea in her mind and asked directly.

Xu Yien responded: "I don't know how to respond to your ambiguity, but if you invite me, I will definitely come."

Song Qian smiled gently. "That's it. See you on New Year's Eve. Don't forget what you said."

"Okay, see you then."

Everyone had their own things to do and left. Xu Yien still had to go shoot materials for KFC. The titles of KFC all start from experience officer. Bai Yu got the title of experience officer after the broadcast of Soul Guardian, but his ability to sell goods was average, so he didn't get promoted to a title and was just a short-term agent.

But this time, Xu Yien became the spokesperson for KFC for the second time in a year.

KFC cannot beat McDonald's in overseas markets.

However, it is invincible in the Chinese region, and it is still beneficial in terms of local advertising. It cannot be limited to high-end brands, mainly because high-end brands usually have fewer stores. Endorsing affordable products with higher public awareness can better gain popularity in local advertising.

simply put.

High-end luxury is used to improve taste and show off.

Affordable endorsements are used to increase national popularity.

As long as the publicity is sufficient, people will gradually get to know him even if they don't know him. Yang Yang originally grabbed the endorsement at a low price in order to gain publicity for the brand and expand his popularity among the people. Now he brags that he is the national idol, but in fact Li He's popularity has been greatly reduced.

Wei Wei is not as good as Gu Jian Qi Tan in any aspect.

The water injection of "A Slight Smile is Very Alluring" is too heavy.

If it's really as popular as fans boast.

Teacher VV will no longer be a top goalkeeper.

He flew to Beijing again to shoot materials for KFC. Xu Yien has basically never stopped working on the business side. The number of new endorsements by other people in the crew combined is not as many as Xu Yien's. What's more, after a hit drama is aired, the actor's endorsement will be determined after three months to see whether the traffic is stable.

March drama fans.

As the name suggests, fans of the drama will only stay for three months.

The data after three months can only represent the actor's own fan base. It is really jaw-dropping that Xu Yien took on so many endorsements just one month after the show started. Even though many fujoshi fans ran away after the show was closed, the number of sign-ins on the super topic is still stable at 500,000.

The top streamer itself does not need data to be the top one.

As long as it's in the first tier, it's fine.

The price and title of an endorsement must be considered comprehensively. After all, traffic is a job for young people, and it still depends on works to maintain stability in the future. In the early stage, you need to pay attention to data, but in the later stage, after it stabilizes, you still have to look at actual results.

After a long and busy journey, Xu Yien finally finished shooting all the commercial materials. These will be officially announced one by one before New Year's Eve, and Xu Yien can just count the money in peace.

　There is one more chapter to be updated tomorrow. Today I took a bus back to my hometown from 9 am to 8 pm. The network in my hometown is also average. It is mainly because it is my grandfather's 70th birthday. It is too late. I wish you all a happy holiday.
