Huayu: Traffic is king

Chapter 70 Two-Person Business
The wait was a long one. Gu Jingyi sat on a small stool and played a game. The staff members beside him also relaxed and began to chat about their own personal experiences.

There are no secrets in the industry. Which celebrity is in poor condition in real life? Which celebrity is still in love and has many romantic relationships? Which celebrity loves to show off...

These gossips are well known to those working in the circle.

But they were all talkative, and Gu Jingyi heard a lot of what they said.

After finishing a round of Honor of Kings, Gu Jingyi started another one and just as he entered the hero ban page, Lin Ze came over and brought him an iced Americano.

"Brother Ze, are you almost done filming over there?"

"Not yet," Lin Ze nodded. He had glanced over there when he passed by just now. It seemed that they were already changing clothes and recording a new scene.

"I remember when I saw it, Ms. Reba seemed to be recording another segment outdoors."

Thinking of what he had just seen, Lin Ze couldn't help laughing.

I don’t know if he heard it wrong, but he heard Dilraba say during the filming: “Congratulations and get rich, An Muxi, meow~”

She has a domineering face, but a soft and baby voice, which is a huge contrast.

"Brother Ze, what are you laughing at?"

Gu Jingyi had already started the game. When he used his skills, he saw his agent's lips curled up with some confusion.

"It's nothing, Jingyi, you should know in a moment."

Seeing that he didn't want to talk, Gu Jingyi didn't ask any more questions. He took a sip of iced Americano, and the cool taste of it went down his throat and made him feel refreshed.

At first, Lin Ze didn't quite understand his habit of drinking iced American coffee in the middle of winter, but later he got used to it.

Whether Gu Jingyi is doing activities or taking a rest, he will drink a glass from time to time to maintain his figure.

"Jingyi, don't play after this one. The game over there should be almost over."

"it is good."

The game ended quickly, and the two "Gold Medal Shooters" also allowed Gu Jingyi's rank to rise from one or two stars in Star Glory to one full star in Star Glory.

He doesn't play games very often, just to kill time.

However, I haven’t seen Cheng Xiao online several times when playing games recently.

Although "Idol Producer" is a male variety show and does not give much support to the mentors, it still took advantage of the remaining momentum to send Cheng Xiao to the third-tier position.

During every off-season, it's not just Gu Jingyi who has a busy schedule, Cheng Xiao is too.

It's just that the resources and business she received can't compare to Gu Jingyi. Ms. Du Hua really gave her all the business...

After the game ended, Gu Jingyi switched back to WeChat. He also saw the message from his agent Lin Ze, and when he opened the chat box, the message jumped into his eyes.

[Jingyi, how's your relationship with Dilraba Dilmurat? Your fans and hers just called a truce a while ago, and now the two main characters are collaborating on the same commercial. Do your fans have any issues with excessive interaction?]
It can be seen that Lin Ze was indeed a bit cautious. He sent a text message directly because there were many people on the set.

Gu Jingyi directly typed a reply: "No, as long as I'm not in a relationship or making a mistake in principle. Fans will definitely not retaliate. Even if they are really upset, they will vent their anger on the rivals and their fans. Fan quarrels are nothing, and appropriate quarrels can be more encouraging."

"Besides, they might be quite happy for me that I got this endorsement. After all, Amul is a national brand, and its advertisements and promotions can be seen everywhere. The pricing is also relatively reasonable, so it won't be a rip-off. If fans want to buy the same product as mine, it won't cause too much financial burden."

Gu Jingyi's reply also made Lin Ze feel more at ease.

It seems that he was really worrying too much and was actually starting to be overly concerned.

[Jingyi, just be aware of this. Actually, I haven't told you this before, but the last joint issue you and Dilraba Dilraba shot has spawned some serious CP fans. Your CP super topic is even in the top ten on Weibo's CP rankings, but there are still some people secretly supporting you.]
"So many?" Gu Jingyi was indeed a little surprised.

[Well, Harper's Bazaar has released the behind-the-scenes footage. After the short filming ended, you were still engrossed in your scenes, staring at Dilraba for a few seconds. She shyly averted her gaze and covered her mouth with a smile. It's already been made into a legendary GIF of the couple's super topic that's been circulating constantly.]
[Take a look for yourself. (Screenshot: The younger generation’s thoughts can’t be hidden at all)]
Gu Jingyi clicked with his finger and slid to enlarge.

Objectively speaking, this photo is really well taken. CP fans specially made a red face effect and added a soft light filter.

Both of them are famous artists with good looks in the circle, and they look like a good match.

Gu Jingyi passed by and continued typing, "Bazaar should be showing the complete behind-the-scenes footage. I said it was to add more character arcs to the plot."

[Of course it was included. Your fans didn't actually say anything at first. It was the girl's fans who got upset, thinking you were trying to use Dilraba as a CP. Jingyi, you weren't that famous back then. You know how sensitive boyfriend fans are about things like this. Also, Dilraba had just broken up from the "Lu Di couple." Her fans were disgusted that he was caught up in another scandal.]
Alice directly brought out a collection of you walking the red carpet during the "A Little Thing Called First Love" promotional period, holding up Shen Yue's skirt, with the caption: "A gentleman who always helps with skirts, an outstanding graduate of the Chinese entertainment male virtue class." "Jing Fei" fans dug up Dilraba's similar "shy head turn" towards Zhang Binbin on the set of 017's "Legend of Li Ji," creating a nine-square grid comparison chart: "Assembly-like shyness, an unwavering CP." Several male stars were included.
You were filming "Idol Producer" at the time, so I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to be distracted. The argument got pretty intense, with both sides' top fans blacklisting each other. The fan was ultimately the one to blame, as the fans stopped because they didn't want to waste the original star's fashion resources.
[So Jingyi, how is your relationship with Dilraba Dilmurat?]
Lin Ze considered his words and added, "Um...actually, what I meant was, your relationship with her shouldn't be as bad as it is with your fans, right?"
[I'm mainly trying to understand the nature of your relationship. If it's really bad, then the company won't have to worry about anything. Actually, last time, Huace was able to hold back and avoid any consequences.]
Gu Jingyi's eyebrows slightly raised, and he quickly replied: "We are just ordinary partners. There is no conflict between her and me. We exchanged contact information after filming "Bazaar", but we didn't chat."

"The company doesn't need to get involved. It's too ugly. It will be awkward if I meet Dilraba Dilmurat in future collaborations. Besides, my status is still unstable, and frequent conflicts will only damage my popularity."

Seeing Gu Jingyi's answer, Lin Ze also understood. After chatting with his agent for a while, Gu Jingyi put his phone back in his pocket. Although his face was calm, he was thinking about Dilraba Dilmurat.

In the few times they had met before, he had felt that she seemed to have a lot on her mind. She was very ambitious, but the resources Jiahang provided her were not enough to match her status.

"Sorry, we've been delayed a bit over there. Thank you all for waiting. Let's get started now."

The sudden sweet and soft female voice pulled Gu Jingyi out of his thoughts. Dilraba Dilmurat had already changed her clothes and walked over.

When she saw Gu Jingyi, her eyes lit up slightly.

Gu Jingyi left a deep impression on her last time, and this boy gave her a pretty good first impression.

However, we have been adding each other on WeChat for so long, but I haven’t seen him send me a message on his own initiative.

Di Lieba felt a little frustrated and felt that her charm had failed for the first time.

I also feel that Gu Jingyi has a good sense of propriety and won't try to climb up the ladder like other male actors I've worked with him.

"Okay, let's get started."

Gu Jingyi also stood up and walked back to the camera.

The so-called co-shooting for two people is actually very simple. Gu Jingyi opened his phone and saw the New Year greetings video sent by Dilraba Dilmurat.

Di Lieba is holding the New Year limited edition red can and playing with other friends outdoors.

"Happy New Year, strong New Year atmosphere Amul, let's get rich together Amul, meow~"

The plush cat ear headband on Dilraba Dilmurat's head trembled with the ending sound of "meow~". When she held up the bottle of Amul yogurt to show it, her nose rubbed against the snowflake sticker on the can, and she unconsciously revealed the tip of her fangs, which looked very cute.

Dilraba Dilmurat never thought that the cute and coquettish behavior she filmed according to the script at the beginning would appear simultaneously in the footage of the collaboration between the two parties.

It was so embarrassing, being seen by Gu Jingyi like this. How was it any different from being publicly executed?
Outside the screen, the tips of Dilireba's ears secretly turned red, and her assistant noticed something unusual and was about to say something.

Dilireba quickly spoke up, "Don't ask, I don't want to tell you. It's so embarrassing, so awkward..."

Gu Jingyi was still filming. After watching Dilraba Dilmurat's New Year's greeting video, he sent her a red envelope and returned to the table to continue dining with his friends.

"cheers!"

Gu Jingyi and the other actors raised their glasses of Amul and started drinking.

Di Lieba stared at his Adam's apple rolling as he swallowed yogurt in the single shot, and felt inexplicably a little excited.

She looked away and looked down at the script.

When most of the dishes on the table were eaten, Dilraba Dilmurat came back from outside.

She walked in carrying a box of limited edition red packaging of Amul, and the extras also spoke their lines very professionally.

"Reba, you're finally here. I've been waiting for you!"

"Reba, why are you back so late this year?"

Dilireba smiled and bowed, saying, "Sorry, sorry, I'm back."

She unpacked the yogurt boxes and distributed the yogurt bottles one by one.

Dilireba raised the yogurt pot and said, "It's the New Year with friends~"

Gu Jingyi, who was standing by, suddenly touched her forehead with the can and said with a smile, "May there be fish every year, and peace every year."

"Cut!"

Outside the monitor, the director looked at the last shot and was very satisfied.

No one noticed that Dilraba's pupils trembled slightly.

Dilraba Dilmurat just noticed that after filming Gu Jingyi's interaction with her, his left hand was drooping and imitating the opening and closing of a cat's paw - the classic gesture in her "Meow" New Year greeting video...
