Chapter 35 Zhao Xiaodao
……

……

"Little brother Qingqing, have you missed your sister?"

"No."

Gu Qing replied truthfully.

"No?!"

Even after removing her makeup, Nazha, who still looks exquisite, was both annoyed and amused by the younger brother's reply.

She's a beautiful but empty-headed woman, plus a well-known romantic.

She naturally had many suitors.

Some conversations are tense and stiff, while others are witty and humorous.

Even more extreme: he's the epitome of a domineering CEO, showering her with gifts at the slightest provocation.

I've never met anyone as straightforward as Gu Qing.

I'm going to be sad!

Naza, acting like a typical young girl, typed the message in a huff.

One minute... three minutes... ten minutes...

Naza blinked her dry eyes, her delicate face filled with confusion.

Something's not right with how the plot is going.

Normally,

Didn't he immediately try to comfort me after I sent him the message?
And what about Gu Qing?

He's become obsessed with watching Running Man.

The quality of the first season of Running Man is beyond doubt.

In his past life, as a viewer, he watched every episode without fail.

now,

Becoming a member of the Running Man cast adds an extra layer of wonder.

When watching the show, I get really into it.

As for news about Nazha...
Gu Qing glanced at it and then ignored it.

First: I don't know how to reply.
Secondly, he doesn't think he has a good relationship with Nazha.

They only met once on a variety show and barely exchanged a few words.

She couldn't possibly fall in love with him just because he's handsome, could she?
Isn't that nonsense?
Gu Qing, with his straight-male mindset, only believes in love that grows over time, not love at first sight.

The more attentive a stranger is to him,
Even though the other person was a beautiful woman, Gu Qing was still a little scared...

One hour later…

"I'm so angry! I'm so angry!"

The intense sense of frustration made Nazha increasingly angry as she lay under the covers, unable to sleep at all.

She angrily threw off the covers, picked up her phone, tapped Gu Qing's profile picture, and sent a message: "I'm going to sleep!"

Ding Dong sound,
Gu Qing: "Good night."

"Ahhhh!!!"

Naza let out a sharp, explosive sound.

Not replying to messages: I'm so angry!

Instant reply: Even angrier!!

“It’s a beautiful day.”

After watching the program, Gu Qing set an alarm on her phone and went to sleep contentedly.

……

A night of silence,
The next morning, before the bell rang,

Gu Qing was woken up by a phone call.

As soon as the door opened, three women stood stiffly outside.

Agent, makeup artist, assistant.

"The Chinese entertainment industry is dominated by women..."

Gu Qing slumped into the chair, half-asleep, and accepted the makeup artist's manipulation.

After the second episode aired,

Gu Qing's popularity even surpasses that of Angelababy, making her a rising star in the Chinese entertainment industry.

no way,
The entertainment industry is dominated by female audiences, who tend to be more demanding of female artists.

Although the company is small, it has received a great deal of attention.

The makeup artist they poached at great expense, the driver they helped arrange, and the bodyguards they provided—they had everything one could need.

"Sister Li, what's your name, sister?"

Gu Qing asked the makeup artist behind her.

Even though he wasn't in the entertainment industry, he had heard a rumor.
No matter how big a star you are, never easily offend your makeup artist or the lighting technician on set.

Otherwise, no matter how good your natural features are, the final product might not even be as good as the supporting actors next to you.

"Just call her Sister Xu."

"Hello, Sister Xu."

"You have such a sweet tongue. Do you usually have a favorite makeup look?"

Sister Xu was all smiles after being coaxed.

"I'm fine with anything, as long as it's not too heavy makeup."

Gu Qing replied, "Heavy makeup is usually used to cover up the flaws of celebrities' faces. You're so good-looking that you don't even need to wear makeup."

Sister Xu ran her index finger along the boy's supple skin and exclaimed, "Youth is the most beautiful cosmetic."

"Baby, let me tell you about today's schedule."

Li Li directed her assistant to pack the luggage, then stood to the right of the mirror and said, "The two episodes of Running Man have greatly increased your popularity, so you can create your own platform account."

"My current plan is to get you ten million followers in a week, and make you a top influencer!"

"Sister Li, is it really possible to gain ten million fans in a week?" Gu Qing was so surprised that she was no longer sleepy.

"If you don't have enough, just buy more. Which of those top celebrities hasn't bought fans?"

"I know about buying followers, but is buying this many okay?"

"Of course it's possible! In the entertainment industry, the number of fans an artist has is even more fake than their height!"

Li Li didn't take it seriously.

As industry insiders, they know all too well the real data about an artist.

The number of active fans a top influencer has is far less than what casual observers imagine.

Forget about 10 million followers; having 1 million active followers is already pretty good.

Or even three or four hundred thousand would be enough to make it awesome!
But actually?
If you have 1 active followers, you can do whatever you want in the Chinese entertainment industry!

Of course, "live powder" here refers to:

They can keep track of the artist's blog account at all times, retweet your posts, and help you spend money on voting and data manipulation.

One hundred active followers are enough to live comfortably on the internet.

With a thousand active fans, even if you have a conflict with a top influencer, you can still clash online and start a significant online war of words.

Ten thousand active fans, that's a top influencer!

Numbers are hardly enough to convey this kind of horror.
Converted to entrepreneurship,
You have a hundred employees who support you unconditionally, and you don't even have to pay them a salary every month. They will even spend money to help you with your business!

If anyone dares to bully you on the street,

They'll help you yell back and fight back; they're practically 100% loyal bodyguards.

What if there were a thousand or ten thousand such people?
"Besides that, we're going to take a plane to Hengdian later."

Li Li continued, "After the second episode of Running Man aired, the production team of The Journey of Flower offered me 10 yuan per episode and promised to help increase the second male lead's screen time, so I agreed immediately."

"So, are we going to start filming right away when we get to Hengdian?"

Gu Qing asked.

"Of course not, it's just to finalize the makeup so that the crew won't waste time adjusting the actors' makeup during filming."

Li Li explained with a smile, "Besides, the filming for 'The Journey of Flower' is still some time away."
"Running Man is your main focus right now; you can only start filming a drama after you finish filming the variety show."

"By the way, I've also discussed with the production team about your new song. We plan to give you a solo opportunity at the end of the last episode."

"Sister Li, thank you for your hard work," Gu Qing said.

"If you're going to make things so hard for me, just become a big star already, then I'll have it much easier."

Li Li felt a warmth in her heart and said with a smile.

After finishing the simple makeup,
After having a simple breakfast, Gu Qing and his group boarded a plane and headed to Hengdian.

……

Hengdian's scenery is like a scroll painting that transcends time and space, cleverly blending the weight of history with modern fantasy.

Stepping into the Qin Palace, the majestic city walls and towering gate towers come into view. The bluish-brown bricks and the vermilion city gates are inlaid with golden rivets, as if recreating the grandeur of the Qin Dynasty.

Moving to the Qingming Riverside Scene scenic area, the bustling city life of Bianjing (Kaifeng) during the Northern Song Dynasty comes to life before your eyes.

The wooden arched bridge lies like a rainbow across the water, with clear water flowing beneath it, willows swaying gently on the banks, and the signs of taverns and teahouses fluttering in the wind.

Tourists in ancient costumes stroll along the bluestone streets, and the waterwheels creak and turn, as if the painting by Zhang Zeduan has come to life.

Dozens or even hundreds of film crews conduct their daily filming here, producing hundreds or even thousands of works.

However, only a handful of TV series become wildly popular each year.

After getting off the car and arriving at the film set,

Gu Qing and her group happened to run into the female lead's team in the drama.

"It's Liying..."

Li Li smiled brightly, intending to greet the other party's agent.

Then I remembered,

They've already had a major falling out with their agent and are currently in court.

No wonder he only has an assistant with him!

"Come on, baby, quickly say hello to your seniors in the film and television industry."

Li Li maintained her fake smile and beckoned Gu Qing to come closer.

did not expect,
"I've seen your variety shows..."

Zhao Liying's round, chubby face has two small dimples on either side, making her smile very cute and approachable.
"Thanks…"

"You acted so well!"

"?"

Gu Qing's expression froze, and Li Li's smile stiffened.

Zhao Liying's assistant, who was following behind her, was so anxious that she was almost in tears.

"Sis, you're not good at talking, so let's just stop talking, okay?"
