Huayu 2015, the Artist of Light and Shadow

Chapter 136 He's blind! Chicken Bro and White Goose are dating! Sister Nan, your husband might be in a relationship!

1 month 12 number.

Filming for the Italian portion of "Queen of Tears" has wrapped.

The entire crew is still packing up.

Lu Yunzhou went ahead and returned to China.

That evening, the fourth episode of "Idol Producer" aired. The online voting will end around 8 pm tomorrow night, determining the top 60 from the top 100!

Once the spots are confirmed, Lu Yunzhou will immediately head to Langfang to record the next episode!

There's a tight schedule.

Therefore, he needs to return to China a day earlier.

"Xiaomeng, you've worked hard these past few days. Take a good rest for a day and get yourself ready. Next, we'll go back to Wenzhou to film."

The domestic plot of "Queen of Tears" mainly focuses on the male protagonist's family.

The Korean version's plot revolves around the male protagonist's family living in a village. They run a supermarket and a small farm, leading a pastoral life.

But Lu Yunzhou had absolutely no experience with rural life.

His family had been in business since he was a child—so the company's screenwriters tailored the male lead's character to Lu Yunzhou's family background.

My mother is a small business owner in the clothing industry.

My father was in aquaculture, specializing in swimming crabs.

After graduating from high school, the protagonist, due to his outstanding artistic skills, went to Italy to study design, hoping to become a world-renowned fashion designer. By chance, he met the female protagonist who was interning at his family's company, and she took a liking to him and took him in as her son-in-law.

The whole family thought this daughter-in-law was absolutely perfect. She was beautiful, had a great figure, and was a rich heiress—even the dogs at the village entrance knew that the male protagonist was a son-in-law of a wealthy family. Only he knew how painful this kind of life was.

When he said he wanted a divorce, his whole family thought he had gone mad.

His friends all think he doesn't know how lucky he is, making him seem like a greedy person who is never satisfied.

The plot here is full of laughs.

Isn't the essence of comedy just a bunch of people watching one person's tragedy and having fun?

"Going back to Wenzhou to film?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Churan's face immediately showed some embarrassment.

Is this person taking me back to their hometown?

If all goes well, my name should be able to be added to the family genealogy, right?

I always felt something was missing because I wasn't included in the family genealogy.

"Don't be nervous. I've got everything sorted out, no one will object." Lu Yunzhou knew what Wang Ran was thinking and gently reassured him.

Who would object?

I have made great contributions to the clan, and adding a few names to the genealogy will hardly cause any problems.

Moreover, he has already sent Zhang Ruonan back to renovate the ancestral hall. In addition, the clothing factories and leather factories that he opened back home have driven many upstream and downstream industrial chains.

He didn't directly place those relatives and friends into his company.

Instead, we cooperate with them, contributing part of the capital and orders ourselves, while they manage the upstream and downstream industries.

Instead of letting them reap the benefits without sowing and become lazy, they were made to bear some of the risks.

This model is very similar to the feudal system of the pre-Qin era in ancient times—allowing these relatives and friends to become at least half the owners of a certain upstream or downstream enterprise, and to become local lords, so that they can pass on their family businesses.

Only after becoming shareholders of Everlasting will they be able to meticulously cultivate their own businesses.

If they were directly placed into the company—their mentality would probably be: if they don't use their power, it will expire, and they'd be desperately trying to make money.

In just a few years, even the biggest factories will be hollowed out.

With so many relatives and friends eating meat with his family, who would object if he wrote a few names in the family genealogy?

I bet they'd love for him to write more.

Because every time he writes a name down, he has to share some of the profits with everyone; otherwise, people will definitely gossip.

"Should I dress up a bit more?"

Wang Churan thought to herself, "Outshining Zhang Ruonan is a piece of cake for me."

"It's already beautiful enough."

Lu Yunzhou gently pinched Wang Churan's cheek, telling her to tone it down and not to dress like a vixen; being dignified and elegant was the most important thing.

Otherwise, people will say she looks like a vixen.

"Yes, yes, I will prepare well."

Lu Yunzhou was so kind to her, and Wang Ran wanted to reciprocate. After thinking for a while, she said, "Brother, I'm worried you won't be able to take good care of yourself going back to Shanghai alone. I've already spoken to Xiaotian. Tell her to come over early tomorrow night and order a table full of your favorite dishes."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yunzhou's eyes flickered a few times.

Wang Churan actually took the initiative to tell Tian Xiwei to come over earlier tomorrow?

Bitter.

It hasn't been long, and she already knows everything.

Women really can't accomplish great things; they can't keep any secrets.

"My older sister is home, I'll go to her house for dinner."

Although Wang Ran said he didn't care, Lu Yunzhou felt it was a trap; he instinctively sensed danger.

He decided to take a detour.

Anyway, Tang Yan is aboveboard and doesn't need to hide anything.

"Alright."

Wang Ran rolled his big eyes and chuckled softly, seemingly amused that Lu Yunzhou was being overly cautious.

Lu Yunzhou kept it a secret very well.

He's like a super agent.

However, Tian Xiwei was too eager to show off and had already given herself away.

"Get some rest. I'll pack up and leave soon." Lu Yunzhou liked taking these early morning flights, and he would go straight to sleep once he boarded the plane.

I woke up to find myself at my destination.

"There are still two hours left—that's enough time. You go take a shower first, and I'll go change my clothes."

Hearing that Lu Yunzhou didn't want to go to Tian Xiwei, Wang Ran seemed to be in a good mood and wanted to give Lu Yunzhou a big reward.

"Brother, if I go and become a female celebrity, showing my face in public, won't Father and Mother be unhappy?"

The two entwined themselves, whispering intimate words to each other.

Wang Ran is very hesitant about whether she should continue to pursue a career as a female celebrity.

-

Zhang Ruonan originally had the opportunity to become a big star, but after filming an idol drama, she directly withdrew from the entertainment industry.

It's obvious they've made it ashore.

Wang Churan has almost made it ashore now—but should she continue to work in the entertainment industry? Wang Churan is somewhat uncertain.

"No, don't overthink it."

Unless Wang Churan is constantly hugging and cuddling with other people in the TV series, Lu Yunzhou's parents will definitely be unhappy.

However, Wang Churan is already the boss's wife of the company, so her agent would never give her this kind of role.

Going forward, even if Wang Ran wants to act, it will definitely be a serious, mainstream drama.

I'll make some historical dramas and some crime dramas, striving to become a person of both high moral character and artistic talent.

As for whether filming this kind of drama will have no commercial value, Wang Ran could work ten lifetimes and still not be as successful as Lu Yunzhou.

After all, it would be too difficult for Wang Ran to win over the young girl.

Lu Yunzhou only needs to smile at those girls, and they'll probably all go crazy.

"Instead of worrying about that, you should worry about what to do about the final exams. Even Xiao Cun would shake his head at your grades."

Liu Haocun was the person with the worst academic performance among all the people Lu Yunzhou knew.

Therefore, Lu Yunzhou told Liu Haocun to study hard at school after filming the movie, so as not to fail to get a graduation certificate and bring shame to Chinese actresses.

After all, Liu Haocun has already followed him onto the world stage.

If Liu Haocun doesn't get his graduation certificate, he'll be laughed at online.

To everyone's surprise, Wang Ran's academic performance was even worse—she was overjoyed to hear that she wouldn't have to take her first-year final exams if she came to Italy to film with Lu Yunzhou.

But what Wang Churan didn't expect was that—the devil is one foot tall, but the righteous are ten feet tall!

In order to get her back to school to take her final exams, Lu Yunzhou forced director Wu Xiaoqiang to finish filming the Italian scenes within a month and a half—she still had to go back to school to take her final exams.

The sky is falling!

Now, she's acting so gentle and cute, serving Lu Yunzhou so diligently, just so she can get Lu Yunzhou to do her a favor and spare her the pain of final exams.

"Xiaomeng, good luck on your final exams!"

How could Lu Yunzhou possibly fall for Wang Ran's trick?

At home, he couldn't control Wang Chiran. After all, although Wang Chiran was tall and strong, she was really good at acting cute.

Lu Yunzhou happened to fall for this approach.

The only option is for the school teachers to do it for us.

"My brother is such a bad guy. He just wants to see me make a fool of myself."

Wang Ran punched Lu Yunzhou in the chest in annoyance, pouted, and her face was full of displeasure.

"It's better to embarrass yourself at home than to be called illiterate after you enter society."

Lu Yunzhou gently pinched Wang Ran's cheek and said in the tone of a netizen, "I don't want to see similar comments online years from now—'Lu Yunzhou married an illiterate wife, and their child's IQ is definitely not high.'"

Lu Yunzhou's description was so vivid that Wang Ran could almost see netizens criticizing her years later.

No!

She can tolerate anything, except this!

Zhang Ruonan is a vocational high school student, and that cannot be changed.

She's at least better than Zhang Ruonan!

After putting Wang Ran to sleep, Lu Yunzhou took a midnight flight back to China.

This early morning flight was unusually quiet.

Lu Yunzhou's sleep quality is exceptionally good.

When I woke up, the plane had already arrived in Shanghai.

"Big brother, you're finally back. I missed you so much for 20 days."

-

The company-arranged nanny van came to pick up Lu Yunzhou as usual.

Tian Xiwei also came along.

As soon as Lu Yunzhou got into the car and closed the door, Tian Xiwei rushed over and nuzzled her head against Lu Yunzhou's chest.

It's like a ferocious beast trying to leave its pheromones on its territory.

"Oda, when does school let out for break?"

Lu Yunzhou couldn't help but rub Tian Xiwei's cheek. The skin of girls from Sichuan and Chongqing is really good; it feels so smooth to the touch.

It's white and tender.

Upon hearing this, Tian Xiwei's eyes widened, and she looked at Lu Yunzhou happily: "Big brother, do you want to take me home to pay respects to our ancestors?"

How did you guess?

Lu Yunzhou looked at Tian Xiwei with feigned surprise.

Tian Xiwei chuckled and put her arm around Lu Yunzhou, saying, "Big brother, I've told you all about your tricks."

"Since you know, what are your thoughts?"

Lu Yunzhou disliked short-term relationships.

Because he knows that once people habitually get caught up in short-term relationships, it becomes very difficult for them to truly enter into long-term relationships.

When faced with even the smallest problem, I become very impatient and lose all patience.

If this continues, it will destroy you.

What can an impatient person accomplish? In every industry, if you want to achieve excellence, you need long-term patience and dedication.

"Brother, this year will be a breakout year for your career, and I don't want to burden you at this crucial juncture."

Tian Xiwei helped Lu Yunzhou do some calculations.

In the first half of the year, Lu Yunzhou and Cai Xukun made it onto the trending topics list several times a week thanks to "Idol Producer".

For a full 12 episodes, roughly three months, Lu Yunzhou will remain a trending topic.

During the summer vacation, "Queen of Tears," a 40-episode idol drama starring Lu Yunzhou and Wang Ran, will be released online, making Lu Yunzhou a sensation for at least 20 days.

At the end of August, as is Lu Yunzhou's habit, he will hold an internal screening of the film, which will generate a lot of buzz among his fans.

When the movie is released in October, it will be a huge hit for another two months!

In addition, there were some fashion events in between, where Lu Yunzhou would occasionally make an appearance.

Throughout 2018, Lu Yunzhou had almost no free time.

It's a frequent topic on trending searches.

This handsome face will appear in front of countless viewers every day, keeping Lu Yunzhou extremely busy.

"Xiaotian, how come you're so sensible?"

Even the strongest warrior cannot resist a woman's gentleness and tenderness.

Hearing Tian Xiwei's comprehensive plans for him, Lu Yunzhou felt a surge of warmth in his heart and embraced her: "Little Tian, ​​do you prefer gold or a house?"

"I don't have many strengths, but I'm very fair and treat everyone equally. What Xiaomeng has, you'll have too."

Lu Yunzhou knew that he had to treat everyone equally in his family matters.

Only fairness and justice can ensure a lasting legacy.

Favoritism and partiality cannot last.

"Brother, I don't want these things. Can I ask you for a favor?"

Tian Xiwei raised her head and looked at Lu Yunzhou with deep eyes.

"This must be a difficult situation."

Lu Yunzhou wondered what Tian Xiwei could possibly ask of him.

"Brother, Cunzi is the female lead in your movie. You two will be working together on the 'Fairy Castle' series for many years. You two might become a screen duo like Zhang Yimou and Gong Li."

"But Zhang Yimou and Gong Li have provided entertainment for audiences across the country for many years."

"I don't want you to be the butt of people's jokes, I don't want you to be stigmatized like this. So, can you promise me—"

No matter how Liu Haocun tries to seduce you, don't fall for it.

Tian Xiwei's small request truly showed her wholehearted consideration for Lu Yunzhou.

She was a supporting actress, and filming had already wrapped.

Going forward, there might not be many on-screen interactions between her and Lu Yunzhou—they might be secretly having an affair without the audience knowing.

Lu Yunzhou and Liu Haocun have to film a movie called "Fairy Castle" every now and then, and paparazzi, netizens and the media are all watching them.

Once they get together, it'll be exposed in no time.

It's impossible to hide it from the public.

"You little rascal."

Lu Yunzhou was deep in thought when he turned his head and saw Tian Xiwei's sly look as her eyes darted around. He couldn't help but laugh and say, "Alright, I'll try my best."

Tian Xiwei said very seriously, "Big brother, don't laugh. You must take it to heart and not take it lightly."

Lu Yunzhou said very seriously, "Xiao Tian and Xiao Cun snore and grind their teeth when they sleep. How could I possibly like girls like that?"

Have it?

Is Liu Haocun really this kind of person?

Tian Xiwei couldn't help but show a hint of doubt. Then, she realized that she was the one who told Lu Yunzhou about Liu Haocun's actions!

Haha!

Indeed, rumors can be very hurtful!

Although Liu Haocun has long legs, they have already been broken before she could even stand up.

The two chatted as they arrived home.

After the driver left.

Tian Xiwei, arm in arm with Lu Yunzhou, boarded the elevator with great interest.

"Brother, would you like to hear 'Three Variations on Plum Blossom' tonight?"

"What 'Three Variations on Plum Blossom'? You're talking nonsense all day long. I'll knock some on your head. I have no idea where you learned that."

The two took the elevator from the basement and whispered something private to each other.

Suddenly, the elevator dinged and stopped briefly in the entrance hall on the first floor.

The two separated slightly and silently watched the person outside the elevator.

"Lu Yunzhou?"

Jing Tian had just returned from outside, looking somewhat tired, and it was unclear what had happened.

Upon seeing Lu Yunzhou in the elevator, her eyes lit up slightly. Then, Jing Tian noticed Tian Xiwei in the corner, and her gaze dimmed.

"When did you get back? It's been so long since I've seen you."

Jing Tian greeted Lu Yunzhou politely, then turned around and pressed her floor number.

"Just got back."

Lu Yunzhou replied unhurriedly, then casually asked, "Did you go to the gym?"

There is an indoor swimming pool in the community.

Jing Tian answered casually, but couldn't help asking again, "Haven't you been there? You can try it, the facilities are pretty good. And it's not crowded."

"I'll give it a try when I have time."

Lu Yunzhou said politely.

Whenever someone says "I'll be free" or "I'll definitely go next time," Lu Yunzhou, true to his nature, absolutely will not go.

"Oh, by the way, while you were away, a package was delivered to the wrong house. I'll bring it to you later."

As the elevator doors opened, Jing Tian suddenly remembered something before stepping out.

Tian Xiwei had been waiting for a long time, and finally it was her turn to answer: "Sister Tian, ​​how could I accept this? I'll come down and get it later."

Jing Tian turned to look at Tian Xiwei, her gaze lingering for a moment before she finally gave a polite smile: "That's fine too."

After saying that, Jing Tian left without looking back.

"Your package?"

Lu Yunzhou doesn't have his own delivery service; he sends almost everything to the company. At least someone at the company helps him receive packages.

Therefore, this package can only be from Tian Xiwei.

Tian Xiwei gave an awkward laugh: "Valentino combat boots. My legs look really long when I wear them. It's a gift I specially prepared for you."

Lu Yunzhou was truly exasperated and couldn't help but tap Tian Xiwei's forehead: "Our family sells shoes. You bought Valentino? Contributing to our competitors' sales? You're fined 500 yuan! Transfer it to me later! Let this teach you a lesson."

Tian Xiwei immediately put on a wronged expression: "I'm sorry, boss. 500 yuan is a bit too much. Can you reduce it by half?"

"No. There's no room for negotiation."

Lu Yunzhou deliberately teased Tian Xiwei.

Tian Xiwei knew that Lu Yunzhou was teasing her.

After a short while, the two of them started chuckling.

After a long separation, a major battle was inevitable. Tian Xiwei rushed downstairs to Jing Tian's place to retrieve the Valentino combat boots.

"Nice shoes."

Before leaving, Jing Tian, ​​for some reason, deliberately said something with a sour tone.

Tian Xiwei also disliked Jing Tian.

Having already reached the elevator, she deliberately turned around and replied with a smile, "Thank you for the compliment. I'm sorry to have made you laugh. My husband just has this one little hobby."

I'll make you so angry!

Lu Yunzhou actually took a bullet for Jing Tian?

Tian Xiwei grew angrier the more she thought about it.

"Brother, can we do it again? That last one sent me flying—it was so exciting!"

It made me feel like I was soaring through the sky!

"Xiaotian, it's too late. How about we play again tomorrow? I'm just too tired today—I can't keep going!"

"Brother, please, just one more time!"

'

After they got home, Tian Xiwei turned on the TV and played a PS game with Lu Yunzhou. They were playing a skiing game.

The two worked together and then leaped high into the air, performing actions in mid-air.

Late at night.

Miss Jing Tian was in her bedroom when she could only hear faint sounds.

However, she was too curious and couldn't resist going to the living room—where she could hear it more clearly.

And so, she overheard the conversation above.

She felt inexplicably annoyed, but her mind couldn't help but start fantasizing again—

In that fleeting glimpse, I noticed that Lu Yunzhou was wearing an overcoat over a base layer, with a wide back and narrow waist that accentuated his figure beautifully.

It made Jing Tian's mouth water.

She's almost 30, the age when she's at her most vigorous and energetic.

The Olympic champion who was originally hers—never came in this time and space.

Because Olympic champions aren't fools.

Lu Yunzhou has already taken a bullet for Jing Tian, ​​and he's so handsome and stylish—under these circumstances, what man would come looking for Jing Tian?

It's no use looking for it.

There's a 99% chance you'll be cheated on.

The man who catches Jing Tian's eye must be outstanding and certainly not lacking in women. There's no need for him to hang himself on Jing Tian and invite trouble upon himself.

"Lu Yunzhou, you son of a bitch—why weren't you shot dead back then?"

"He was such a good person before, so clean and pure, so elegant and handsome—after being shot, he completely changed. Having three girlfriends is one thing, but he even deliberately showed off in front of me?"

"Before buying this house, I didn't believe you didn't know I lived downstairs from you? You insisted on coming over to be my neighbor."

"You're always circling around me. What do you want from me?"

While cursing and complaining about Lu Yunzhou, Jing Tian recalled the brief moment they spent together in the elevator.

What the hell does that damn Lu Yunzhou smell like?

So delicious.

It's really addictive.

Thinking of this, she raised her hand, glanced at her fingernails, and realized they were a bit long and needed trimming.

The next morning.

Lu Yunzhou left home dejectedly and went to Langfang to record a program.

After a long and tiring journey, Lu Yunzhou slept soundly.

Upon arriving at his destination, he stretched and felt his health had recovered by half.

"How is the situation?"

Lu Yunzhou found producer Jiang Bing and chatted for a few minutes.

"Cai Xukun is in big trouble!"

Producer Jiang Bing spoke excitedly about this: "During the first performance, when the scores were given on the spot, Cai Xukun only got 85 votes, and his ranking was almost falling out of the top 10."

"At that time, I asked you what to do?"

"You told me not to rush—after the show airs, the audience will rallied to vote for Cai Xukun, making him an overnight sensation."

"You were absolutely right!"

Cai Xukun is Lu Yunzhou's younger brother, and he was recommended by Lu Yunzhou to enter this program.

Producer Jiang Bing has already discussed it with Lu Yunzhou and they will definitely push Cai Xukun to the top and give him more screen time.

Cai Xukun is guaranteed a spot in at least the top three for debut.

Cai Xukun's performance did not disappoint Jiang Bing.

But unexpectedly, during the recording of the first performance, the judges gave Cai Xukun only 85 votes.

Chen Linong, who ranked first, received more than 200 votes!

Jiang Bing could hardly remember whether Cai Xukun was ranked eighth or ninth—in any case, he felt somewhat sorry for Lu Yunzhou.

After the show's recording ended, Jiang Bing even approached Lu Yunzhou to ask what to do if Cai Xukun failed to debut.

In short, Jiang Bing hoped that Lu Yunzhou wouldn't blame him.

Because variety shows can have some unspoken rules, but if they're made too badly, the audience will have complaints.

Lu Yunzhou said at the time, "Let the bullets fly for a while."

Jiang Bing thought to himself, how else can it fly?

Cai Xukun is most likely finished.

Unexpectedly, Cai Xukun did not get first place, but came in eighth or ninth, which suddenly aroused huge sympathy across the internet.

Netizens are vehemently accusing the show of being rigged.

—[The whole audience was screaming for Cai Xukun, but he only came in ninth in the live vote. I'm really about to break down! Sisters, let's get more votes for our Kunkun!]

—【He has no company, no backing, and the audience doesn't even know him. Only the online fans, the "national producers," can protect our beloved Kun Kun. Sisters, we must vote Kun Kun to number one!】

[Flawless performance throughout, overwhelming everyone else's stage presence, why are the live votes so low? There must be something fishy going on! Online voting is the only fair way! Sisters, let's vote together!]

—【Kun Kun burst into tears the moment the voting results were announced. He felt so wronged; all his hard work went unnoticed. Please vote for Kun Kun!】

After yesterday's program aired.

The number of views increased again.

Although it didn't attract a large number of viewers like the first episode did, thanks to Lu Yunzhou's gimmick.

But once the show stabilized, each episode garnered over 1.5 million views.

Viewers are gradually becoming familiar with how the show is played.

But it's still missing a punchline.

Now, the "wronged Cai Xukun" has become the biggest highlight of the fourth episode. Many people can't bear to see Cai Xukun being wronged and are frantically helping him garner votes online.

This vote-soliciting behavior is very similar to Pinduoduo's "help people cut the price" promotion.

Many people didn't originally have this app, but they couldn't refuse their friends' requests and downloaded it to help cut the price.

Since we're already here, and it's free anyway, what's wrong with taking a look?

As a result, viewership increased, voting increased, and the show became more popular.

Cai Xukun is famous!

Cai Xukun was "tortured" by the program team — netizens felt that the program team had rigged the show. In order not to disappoint the hardworking young man, the whole internet felt sorry for him and started voting for him like crazy!

In the on-site vote, Cai Xukun received 85 votes.

In the online voting, Cai Xukun took a commanding lead with 1200 million votes! He was the only one to surpass 1000 million votes!

Chen Linong came in second with less than 750 million votes.

Cai Xukun exploded!

"I knew it would be like this."

"That's why I think tragic aesthetics are the most flattering—because our audiences are all very kind and can't bear to see hard-working people fail."

Lu Yunzhou was very happy to receive this news.

Cai Xukun's hard work has made him known across the internet and remembered by the audience.

A hardworking young man.

A high-quality idol who broke through the barriers of his own hard work and sweat, without any company or background.

On the other side.

Fan Chenchen was furious when she learned that Cai Xukun had won first place in the online vote.

He secretly called his older sister, Fan Bingbing: "Sis, this show is so shady!"

Fan Bingbing is also following "Idol Producer," since her younger brother is participating.

She asked in confusion, "Where's the black mark? Isn't this an online vote?"

-

Fan Chenchen didn't know how to explain: "Sis, you know Cai Xukun, right? He's that guy who's leading by a wide margin!"

"Everyone online says he has no company or background, and that he owed 300 million yuan before his lawsuit with his former company—as far as I know, all of that is false!"

"His girlfriend is Lu Yunzhou's cousin!"

"He's just a gigolo!"

"Every time Lu Yunzhou comes to record a program, after he finishes speaking to everyone, he will call Cai Xukun out for a chat."

"Is this what you call having no connections?"

"Netizens have given me the nickname 'Royal Family'—compared to Cai Xukun, I'm just a bumpkin! He's the real royalty!"

Although her older sister is a big star like Fan Bingbing, Fan Bingbing can't protect a variety show like "Idol Producer".

Fan Bingbing and producer Jiang Bing may know each other, but they don't have any real relationship.

Lu Yunzhou and their producer Jiang Bing were close friends who had worked their way up together.

After the show aired, Fan Chenchen could clearly feel that the production team had specially edited in several scenes where Cai Xukun's performance was explosive.

He didn't even receive this treatment.

Because of the comparison, he realized that the production team was giving Cai Xukun special treatment.

"That's a good thing."

After listening to his younger brother's complaints, Fan Bingbing was suddenly overjoyed.

Fan Chenchen was completely dumbfounded and couldn't help but complain again: "This is a good thing? This show is so shady. What good thing is this?"

"My silly little brother."

Fan Bingbing decided to teach her younger brother a lesson: "How did Dilraba become so popular?"

Without even thinking, Fan Chenchen said, "I'll piggyback on Tang Yan, Lu Yunzhou, and Lu Han."

"You're right."

Fan Bingbing nodded: "Cai Xukun is now in a commanding lead, ranking among the top in the celebrity super topic."

Thanks to his breakout success and the efforts of those who campaigned for him, the hashtag related to your show exploded.

"Although he got the most traffic, you can also have a place in the celebrity super topic just by associating with him."

"From now on, try to get along well with him on the show."

"I asked my agent to buy more press releases for you, saying that you and Cai Xukun are good brothers, that you admire each other, encourage each other, and have agreed to meet at the top."

Are you kidding me? He's a gigolo, and I admire him, encourage him, and hope to meet him at the top?

Fan Chenchen absolutely did not want to agree.

However, he still had to listen to his sister.

However, Fan Chenchen still had a sliver of stubbornness: "Sis, let's forget about 'mutual appreciation.' How about we change it to 'enemies meeting on a narrow road'?"

Fan Bingbing scoffed, "You don't want this, you don't want that. How about we create a CP (couple pairing) for you two? That's all the rage now."

Upon hearing this, Fan Chenchen immediately surrendered.

After ending the call, Fan Bingbing's money power kicked in!

The topic of Fan Chenchen is slowly gaining traction.

[Lu Yunzhou publicly praised Fan Chenchen's singing skills: "You sang very well!"]

The hashtag #FanChenchenSinging# suddenly went viral, reaching third place on the trending topics list, with over 200 million discussions.

[After Fan Chenchen finished her performance, she stuck her tongue out at Cai Xukun! The two clearly admired each other!]

Cai Xukun's online popularity is in a commanding lead, unshakeable.

So, what Fan Bingbing needs to do is make Fan Chenchen the second most popular person after Cai Xukun. As long as she is forcibly tied to Cai Xukun, Fan Chenchen's popularity will not be too bad.

Fan Bingbing already knew that Cai Xukun was Lu Yunzhou's man, so what was she waiting for?

They just blatantly took advantage of the situation.

By associating with Cai Xukun, at least his younger brother's popularity won't be low.

As for the idea of ​​the guest overshadowing the host—Fan Bingbing would never do that. She already knew that Lu Yunzhou had specially attended this event to promote Cai Xukun.

She's already doing well if she can get her younger brother a bite to eat.

She'll have to find an opportunity later to take her younger brother to thank Lu Yunzhou.

Inside the Idol Producer dorm.

"Big white goose, come out for a moment."

Fan Chenchen jumped to second place by leveraging her own popularity, with over 20,000 people checking in on Weibo.

Cai Xukun checked and found that his number of sign-ins had exceeded 5.

This is a very impressive achievement.

He earned this through his own abilities.

However, before she started using her own popularity to gain attention, Fan Chenchen's Weibo check-in count was only over 8000, and it doubled in the blink of an eye.

"Isn't this our Brother Chicken? What do you need me for?"

As Fan Bingbing's younger brother, Fan Chenchen wasn't afraid of anyone and walked out confidently.

He was already prepared to fight.

To everyone's surprise, Cai Xukun simply frowned and looked him up and down for a long time. Then, as if remembering something, he shuddered and asked in a low voice, "Young Master Fan, if I may ask, are you gay?"

This question instantly drained Fan Chenchen of all her energy.

He completely lost it, wanting nothing more than to rush over and beat Cai Xukun to a pulp: "You're the gay one! Say that again, and I'll chop your penis off!"

Cai Xukun, however, did not believe any of this and hurriedly took three steps back, keeping a good distance from Fan Chenchen.

He made a gesture to keep his distance and asked with a puzzled look, "If you're not gay, why did you release a press release saying that you stuck your tongue out at me after your performance?"

"How do you think your Weibo check-in count suddenly increased by over 1 overnight? You attracted all those yaoi fans!"

"You idiot!"

Cai Xukun has no desire to create this kind of on-screen couple image.

People will laugh at you.

At this moment, he didn't even dare to open his WeChat—because Cai Xukun had already foreseen how unrestrained Wang Ran, Tian Xiwei, Liu Haocun, and others would be laughing in the group.

He and Fan Chenchen have become a couple!

Really satisfied.

How did things turn out this way?

The first round of voting concluded at 8 p.m. that day.

In the round of 100 to 60, Cai Xukun and Fan Chenchen were undoubtedly among the finalists.

Cai Xukun took a commanding lead.

-

Fan Chenchen attracted a large group of female fans to vote for him by sticking her tongue out at Cai Xukun.

I hope this couple can stay together until the end and that they can finally be together!

Female fans of BL (Boys' Love) love this!

This incident greatly displeased Cai Xukun—he hated Fan Chenchen to the core.

He had a feeling that after the variety show ended, he would have to spend a lot of time explaining to people that he was a real man and liked tall, beautiful women!

But how do you explain it?

This couldn't be explained until he found a long-legged girl to date.

But wouldn't he just break down if he started dating?

"That damn Fan Chenchen!"

"I wish your sister's house would collapse!"

Cai Xukun offered Fan Chenchen the most "friendly" blessing.

This year's Lunar New Year's Eve is February 4th, but the Beijing Film Academy's holiday starts on January 14th.

May 14th, Sunday.

It just so happens to be the time when "Idol Producer" was being recorded.

Lu Yunzhou arrived in Langfang a day early, intending to rest briefly before starting a full day of work the next day.

After recording this program, he had to rush back to Wenzhou to film the domestic scenes of "Queen of Tears".

Twenty days later, filming for "Queen of Tears" was almost finished.

He won't even celebrate the Spring Festival; he will seamlessly head to Qatar to start his film career.

"Brother Chuan, the script has been polished again. Please take another look."

Lu Yunzhou was taking a short break at the coffee shop across from the hotel, enjoying some leisurely time after dinner.

But his enjoyment was short-lived; the screenwriters sent him another version of the movie script for review.

"Well written."

"Although the story is simple, the plot is clear, and it follows the standard format of a Hollywood visual blockbuster."

"Yes, this version is good."

Lu Yunzhou has basically finalized the film's shooting framework.

Forget complex script techniques, rely on visual effects to win over the audience, and treat the audience like children—the simpler the plot, the larger the audience it attracts.

After finishing his coffee, Lu Yunzhou decided to go back to the hotel and get some rest.

But at the hotel entrance, a familiar figure appeared, pulling a suitcase, hesitant and unsure whether to go in or not.

"Jingjing, what are you doing here?"

Lu Yunzhou stepped forward and was taken aback when he realized that the person was Zhang Jingyi.

He looked Zhang Jingyi up and down. She wasn't wearing a hat or earmuffs; her ears and nose were red from the cold, making her look like a little frozen pear.

Lu Yunzhou's face immediately showed a hint of helplessness as he pulled Zhang Jingyi into the hotel: "Why are you here so late at night? Aren't you cold?"

Zhang Jingyi remained silent, lowering her head shyly.

Lu Yunzhou seemed to realize something, and his tone softened considerably: "You came to see me? Why didn't you message me before you came?"

Zhang Jingyi didn't say anything. She rummaged through her bag for a while and first found a cell phone, then a pair of gloves.

Zhang Jingyi smiled shyly and pushed her phone and gloves over.

"I was messaging you earlier, and then you disappeared. Your cell phone signal must be really bad."

I bought you a new phone; the signal is great. You'll never lose contact again.

"And these gloves—I bought black cashmere yarn online and spent a month knitting them little by little. I tried them on, and they're very warm."

This girl is absolutely insane.

She actually bought herself a cell phone and even knitted herself gloves?

That's so outdated.

But for some reason, listening to these words, Lu Yunzhou felt a strange, indescribable feeling.

At that moment, Lu Yunzhou, holding the new phone Zhang Jingyi handed him, wanted to casually scold her, "You didn't ask your family for money to buy this phone, did you?"

"No, that's not true."

Zhang Jingyi stubbornly shook her head: "The photos I did for print ads before were quite well received. Recently, a lot of people have asked me to be a Taobao model, to shoot those kinds of clothes. I can earn 2000 yuan in an afternoon."

"However, I have classes during the week, so I can only work part-time on weekends."

"It took me about three weeks in total, and I earned more than 1 yuan."

Zhang Jingyi proudly used the more than 1 yuan to buy a brand new, top-of-the-line mobile phone and gave it to Lu Yunzhou as a gift.

"Big brother, let me help you change."

Seeing that Lu Yunzhou was hesitant and seemed unwilling to accept the gift, Zhang Jingyi simply removed the phone case.

She bent down to help Lu Yunzhou change his SIM card and install various apps for him.

Lu Yunzhou watched her fuss over it, then asked softly, "You've got a new phone, what do you do with my old one?"

Lu Yunzhou instinctively thought, should we go for a spin?

"----I see."

Before Zhang Jingyi could answer, Lu Yunzhou understood: "I'll continue using the old phone myself. As for the new phone, I'll buy a new SIM card and only contact you."

Uh-huh.

Zhang Jingyi couldn't help but laugh.

After changing the phone, Zhang Jingyi asked Lu Yunzhou to try on the gloves she had knitted to see if they fit.

"It's definitely suitable."

These wool gloves should cost no more than 100 yuan if you buy them online, but it would take at least half a month to knit them by hand.

Lu Yunzhou had never knitted gloves before, but he imagined that this kind of handicraft must be very time-consuming.

Nowadays, everything is woven by machine. However, handmade items may not be the best to use, but you can feel the sentiment behind them.

At that moment, Lu Yunzhou, wearing gloves, felt a special warmth in his heart.

He felt a strange sense of being in love.

In this moment, looking at the shy yet earnest girl in front of him, Lu Yunzhou felt like the male protagonist in a Japanese romantic comedy, his heart filled with pure love.

The moonlight is beautiful tonight too.

The wind wasn't so cold tonight; it felt rather gentle.

Zhang Jingyi looked stunning tonight as well.

everything is fine.

If it's just me, then the problem is huge.

At this moment, Lu Yunzhou even had the illusion that he was as bad as a Japanese person.

Thoughts raced through Lu Yunzhou's mind—he looked up and suddenly noticed that Zhang Jingyi was smiling at him from time to time, and awkwardly pursing her lips.

It's like they're showing off something.

understood.

Lu Yunzhou instantly recognized the signal and praised, "Jingjing, your lipstick looks great today, a bright red, especially vibrant and elegant."

Hey.

This was a special outfit Zhang Jingyi dressed up for Lu Yunzhou.

According to Liu Haocun, Lu Yunzhou likes this kind of bright and bold lipstick.

I was right.

"Jingjing, come with me to the car, I have a gift for you too."

Lu Yunzhou put the two phones into his pocket, while wearing the cashmere gloves that Zhang Jingyi had knitted for him.

He solemnly led Zhang Jingyi to the nanny van parked by the roadside.

As soon as he closed the car door, he pulled Zhang Jingyi into his arms.

In the darkness, he could see Zhang Jingyi's two dark, grape-like eyes, quietly shimmering, and he could even feel her hot breath on his cheek.

"Jingjing, would you like to be my girlfriend?"

Their eyes met, and Lu Yunzhou saw a hint of surprise in Zhang Jingyi's eyes, his breathing becoming a little rapid.

Zhang Jingyi's heart was pounding with excitement.

At that moment, Lu Yunzhou couldn't help but feign a nervous and embarrassed look: "This is the first time I've ever taken the initiative to like a girl. I hope I won't be rejected?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jingyi smiled faintly. The next second, she reached out and hooked her arms around Lu Yunzhou's neck, then kissed him.

Bright red, fiery and vibrant lipstick was smeared all over Lu Yunzhou's face.

I hate lipstick!

However, the scorer.

"Brother, I still can't believe it. I only bought you a cell phone, and now I can be your girlfriend."

"Do you know how many people across the internet want to be your girlfriend?"

"At least tens of millions."

Zhang Jingyi nestled in Lu Yunzhou's arms.

Inside the pitch-black van, he couldn't see anything, but he could feel the strong beating of Lu Yunzhou's heart.

This made Zhang Jingyi feel very at ease.

"Not only that."

"You even treated me to three meals."

"They even knitted me a pair of gloves."

Lu Yunzhou recounted the stories as if they were his own treasures.

Zhang Jingyi slowly shook her head, feeling that she was very poor, and her tone was slightly inferior: "Those three meals together cost less than 1000 yuan."

Lu Yunzhou, however, felt differently: "You don't have much pocket money, yet you always come to treat me to meals. To be honest, every time you treat me to a meal, I feel like I'm committing a crime."

I never knew giving away a cell phone could have such a powerful effect.

Lu Yunzhou recalled that when he first started making money, he gave Zhang Ruonan a top-of-the-line Apple phone.

Zhang Ruonan was overjoyed to receive the phone; her smile was almost overflowing. Her happiness was so infectious that it even infected Lu Yunzhou himself.

He thought to himself, "It's just a cell phone, right?"

But now, the boomerang hitting him made him realize that the destructive power of a top-of-the-line phone is indeed quite significant.

Even he couldn't hold on.

"Big brother, when I become a big star and earn lots and lots of money, I'll buy you lots and lots of gifts and take you to the best restaurant in the world."

"And—I'll buy you the luxury mansion in Jinmao Mansion too."

"We'll live together."

"What do you say, okay?"

Zhang Jingyi is meticulously planning her future.

In her future, Lu Yunzhou won't need to spend a single penny—she'll earn all the money herself.

"----good."

Faced with this situation, Lu Yunzhou didn't know how to express himself.

At that moment, his brain was about to overload, and inexplicably, he agreed.

After he finished speaking, he felt a little ashamed.

It’s over.

I'm going to become a materialistic man!

It turns out that being taken care of so considerately and having someone let you spend her money can feel so good and so addictive.
