Huayu: Traffic is king

Chapter 17 Endorsements Coming One After Another
Gu Jingyi completely forgot the passage of time and worked day and night.

He really had been holding it in for too long, and the recording of "Idol Producer" gave Cheng Xiao a bit more of a mentor filter.

This makes his relationship with Cheng Xiao more like a forbidden love.

At the age of nineteen, he was in the most energetic period of his life, and he was so engrossed in it that he really didn't care about the passage of time.

I was waiting for his agent Lin Ze downstairs in the hotel at around 2:00 p.m., but he still didn't show up after playing two games of King of Glory.

I had no choice but to get out of the car and provide "friendly" door-to-door service.

"Xiao Jing, I told you a long time ago. If you don't take care of your health when you are young, you will be happy in your middle age. Look at you, you look like you can't open your eyes and you haven't woken up yet. What's going on? Could it be that you didn't sleep all night after recording until the early morning yesterday?"

Agent Lin Ze, who was sitting in the front seat of the business car, turned around and looked at Gu Jingyi who was sitting in the back seat. Seeing his tiredness, he was speechless.

"It's okay. I only slept for an hour yesterday. I just fell asleep when you came to ask me to work."

Gu Jingyi rubbed his eyes and spoke lazily.

Not long after he fell asleep, his agent came to urge him to work.

He hasn’t slept all night, so if he isn’t sleepy, then who else would be sleepy?
Lin Ze didn't say much and directly took out a glass of iced American coffee from the car's small refrigerator.

"Hurry up and drink, we have several commercials to shoot soon."

Before Gu Jingyi joined "Idol Producer", it was like a short vacation for him to adjust his state.

But this does not mean that Lin Ze, as the agent, can also take a break. On the contrary, he is even busier.

"A Little Thing Called First Love" has only been on the air for a week, and Gu Jingyi has officially entered the audience's field of vision with this TV series.

For an artist who is on the rise, there is no easy day for the agent.

For example, I help artists connect with new film and television resources, connect with business partners, communicate with Huace's senior management about the artists' current situation, discuss marketing strategies, and discuss the specific details of magazine advertising shoots...

There are too many tedious tasks that need to be handled by him as an agent.

In addition, Gu Jingyi's team is not well-equipped, and there are few people who can help Lin Ze share the work.

Therefore, Lin Ze simply took advantage of Gu Jingyi's time to shoot a commercial and communicate with him face to face on the way, confirming the specific work arrangements and various details one by one.

After everything was confirmed, Gu Jingyi put on his eye mask and started to catch up on his sleep.

An hour later, they arrived at the commercial shooting site.

The first endorsement he was going to shoot was for One Leaf Mask, a skin care product advertisement.

Don’t think that Gu Jingyi’s endorsement of One Leaf means the brand is of low quality. One Leaf’s spokesperson last year was Lu Han.

As an emerging brand, One Leaf has placed a considerable number of advertisements on major TV stations and appeared as a sponsor in various variety shows.

At the same time, Chris Wu was still endorsing Hansu. Being able to endorse skin care products in 17 was already a good resource.

Gu Jingyi was looking for the opportunity to show his face, and every time a round of advertisements appeared, he would use the mask to show his face again.

Isn't this much better than endorsing a high-end skincare line? Gu Jingyi doesn't want to take advantage of her fans!

………The broadcast of "A Little Thing Called First Love" also caused a stir in South Korea.

For the Korean girl, there are too many things that are hard to accept about Gu Jingyi.

JYP trainee Shin Yu-na opened the PANN forum as usual, and then saw this post on the homepage recommendation.

Title: [In a corner where no one cares, the new beauty Shan Si of "Produce 202" has appeared in the campus drama "A Little Thing Called First Love"]

Content: The third ranking announcement ceremony of "Produce 202" announced the C position candidate - Gu Jingyi.

Attached below are a few pictures, including a refined official photo of the voting interface on the official website during the talent show, screenshots of Gu Jingyi's stunning appearance from the show provided by fans, and selfies of Gu Jingyi himself.

The last one is a still of Gu Jingyi in "A Little Thing Called First Love", in which the cold-faced campus male god turns around and looks at Shen Yue.

The photos are all of the same person, just with different hairstyles and hair colors.

But the common point is: they are all very handsome and advanced.

"Ahhh, is Gu Jingyi back again?"

Shin Yuna, who was a little sleepy, suddenly perked up and quickly clicked in.

In the forum posts, many former Xiufen explained everything that happened after Gu Jingyi returned to China.

For example, after he withdrew from the competition, he took the national college entrance examination. After only a few months of preparation, he was admitted to the prestigious music conservatory, the Central Conservatory of Music.

For example, when casting the male lead for the TV series "A Little Thing Called First Love," Huace Film & TV chose Gu Jingyi from among hundreds of resumes submitted by amateurs, simply based on a single photo.

In addition to "A Little Thing Called First Love", the forum post also mentioned that Gu Jingyi participated in the Huaxia talent show.

This made some of the dream girls who had just finished watching "A Little Thing Called First Love" and were still immersed in the drama, as well as the fans who showed their overwhelming fighting power when Gu Jingyi participated in the talent show, a little restless.

Ah, I don't want to use the Xiaoyi Knife. I was just marveling at how handsome he was in A Little Thing Called First Love, but when I saw the news about him participating in the Huaxia talent show, I was suddenly transported back to the days when he was forced to withdraw from the competition despite being a top-tier player.

[???? My Gu Jingyi!!!! Have you seen how much he loves the stage, An Junying? Please, Produce 202, give us a reasonable explanation. Gu Jingyi loves the stage so much. How could he withdraw from the competition for personal reasons when his popularity is so high?!]

[This is truly heartbreaking. This is my first time watching a talent show and I've encountered someone with such a well-known beauty. I never expected that she would be voted out of the competition. I'm devastated.]

Someone on the production team must be secretly trying to stop a foreigner from debuting in the center position, right? Entertainment knows no borders! Gu Jingyi's fans, please unite, Chinese and Korean fans, and fight together. Give Gu Jingyi justice! If we protest to a level they can no longer ignore, they will definitely come forward and give an explanation. We have the right to know the truth!

Gu Jingyi's life was stolen from him. His debut night vote count didn't even match his popularity. How many young people's youth and hard work has capitalism ruined? Tears inexplicably fell as I wrote this. Whether Gu Jingyi continues to develop in China or promotes in South Korea, I will always support him and continue to feature him on Idol Producer.

"Produce 202" was a phenomenal hit in South Korea, dominating all of the Korean online trending charts. As one of the most popular and discussed contestants on the show, Gu Jingyi has long been a focal point for many fans in South Korea and even overseas.

Although after the new boy group debuted and started activities, some of Gu Jingyi's previous fans have become fans of the new boy group.

But when Gu Jingyi returned to the public eye with "A Little Thing Called First Love", "#顾璟颐和园#" and "#顾璟颐和园#" became the hot topics on Korean websites at the speed of a rocket.

Gu Jingyi, who had just finished shooting an advertisement, opened the car door and got into the nanny car.

Then he heard Lin Ze turn around and tell him formally: "Jingyi, you are dominating the trending searches in South Korea again."
