After saying goodbye to Yuan Sitong, Xiao He went to find Liu Rulan without stopping.
"Sister Liu, what are the details of that event we talked about this morning? Is there anything I can do for you?"
No sooner had Xiao He finished asking his question than Liu Rulan handed him the timetable.
"This is your schedule for December. Take a look."
Xiao He didn't waste any words and began to examine the items carefully. Then he gasped, "So many?"
Xiao He performed at various banquets and events, not only at the year-end celebration gala on the Tencent platform, but also at Taozi's event.
As one of the largest online shopping platforms in China, Taozi often holds such events every year, but this is the first time Xiao He has been invited.
However, Xiao He really didn't understand: "As an actor, where exactly have I demonstrated that I have a talent for singing?"
An actor is an actor! He's not a singer!
Why do they all want him to sing?
Is this bowl of rice particularly fragrant?
Xiao He frankly said, "I sing badly and I'm off-key, so why would they bother looking for me? They could just invite an actor who is a singer."
"This kind of crossover is more inclusive and tolerant, and it can also enhance your image and make it easier to gain fans' favor."
In other words, it's also relatively easy to get... cough cough.
Liu Rulan coughed lightly: "Besides, you've been on set these past few days and have hardly made any public appearances. This year-end activity can help solidify your fan base."
Xiao He has been filming either abroad or in China this year. Apart from a few trending topics, he has hardly been active in front of his fans. Xiao Chen is the one who actively updates his social media, taking photos and videos of Xiao He's daily life. Otherwise, such a lack of "activity" and the fans being too indifferent would not be a good thing.
Xiao He has been busy for so long, it's time for him to step into the limelight, otherwise his popularity will fade quickly.
"I see."
Xiao He sighed, then continued to look at the scheduled program, feeling somewhat relieved.
The activities on both sides are not too difficult.
On the Tencent platform, the song they've arranged is the theme song for "Yu Ye," which will be sung by several people, each with their own part. The more difficult parts will be mostly sung by others, so Xiao He just needs to stand on stage as the mainstay, and his main purpose will be to help promote "Yu Ye."
The other is a singing and dancing performance, featuring a popular English song that's recently become a hit online. It's the catchy kind of song, and as long as you can get the tune right, it shouldn't be too difficult to learn. However, there's a boy band dance part in it, which Xiao He will need to spend some time learning.
After confirming the details of these programs, Xiao He finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Liu Rulan: "The filming of 'Chasing the Wind' should be almost over, right? These programs will probably still need time to rehearse, so we need to clear at least half a month in advance to prepare for the performances here."
Liu Rulan nodded: "Yes, I have already confirmed with Director Deng. The crew's idea is to try to finish filming by the end of the year and not postpone it until after New Year's Day. So your filming schedule will be heavier recently. I hope your body can handle it?"
Xiao He has been really busy lately, leaving early and returning late, with irregular meals. Liu Rulan is genuinely worried that Xiao He won't be able to handle it.
"Oh, ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) that's not a problem—"
Xiao He waved his hand, appearing quite relaxed.
In fact, as the end of the year approaches, Xiao He's points are about to break through one million. He is already planning to choose a good time, take a bath and change clothes, and then pray to Xiao Chen to draw the highest prize pool for himself.
Perhaps because of this carrot dangling in front of him, Xiao He has been in an unusually good mood and has been particularly energetic lately. Even though Liu Rulan has put forward such a deadly work schedule, he is not afraid.
Let the storm rage on!
Oh ho ho—
Xiao He left humming a song, leaving Liu Rulan still somewhat puzzled.
"Has this kid been working himself to death lately?"
She thought for a moment, then looked down at the work schedule at the back.
When "Yu Ye" airs on New Year's Day, Xiao He will inevitably have to go on promotional tours, and then it will be Chinese New Year...
Liu Rulan's gaze fell on February.
February is a rather special month because it includes both the Spring Festival and a special day... Xiao He's birthday.
For someone whose birthday often falls during the Chinese New Year period, and most likely during winter break, their birthday is the easiest to forget.
After all, whether it's during work or school, if someone has a birthday, you can see them every day, and acquaintances will remind each other and throw a birthday party. In this situation, it's easier to receive blessings and gifts.
As for the "Spring Festival + winter vacation" buff... unless it's a very good friend, it's really hard for people to remember you on their own initiative. Besides, at that time, many people are not even in their hometown. They either go back to their hometown for the New Year or have relatives to visit. It's already quite good if they remember to send a gift back.
Therefore, Xiao He basically didn't have the habit of celebrating his birthday. At most, he would have a meal with close friends and family, and then his birthday would pass by smoothly.
Liu Rulan remembers that she first met Xiao He during the filming of "Shining Stars". Although it was during the Spring Festival and there was no holiday, the crew celebrated the festival together. However, Xiao He was not a big star at the time, and basically no one remembered him. Liu Rulan only noticed him when she was researching information, and then sent him a polite text message to say hello, and that was the end of it.
This year, Xiao He's parents came to Beijing to visit him. They wanted to spend the Spring Festival on their own, so Liu Rulan and Xiao Chen returned to Shanghai early and didn't stay to celebrate Xiao He's birthday. In the end, Xiao He only received his gift after returning to Shanghai.
So overall, Xiao He, that unlucky kid, hasn't even had a proper birthday celebration with everyone since entering the entertainment industry.
This is truly too tragic.
And next year...
After pondering for a moment, Liu Rulan came up with a plan.
Xiao He has now established a solid position in the industry. He has filmed many works this year and will be in a period of continuous output next year. His popularity will only continue to grow. As his birthday is coming up, it cannot be just a casual event that is forgotten. Instead, it must be celebrated in a grand manner!
Thinking this, Liu Rulan took out her phone and started making changes to her calendar and memos. She planned to start contacting and preparing as soon as possible, determined to show the boss's authority as the owner of Linghui Entertainment!
Xiao He was completely unaware of Liu Rulan's plans. After returning to the film set, he would begin preparing for the afternoon's shooting.
The "Chasing the Wind" series has now entered its second half. Song Chenye has a clear objective, and he will find his enemies one by one and settle accounts with them one by one.
And it's quite obvious that the female lead's father and the second male lead's father are both among the targets!
