The Penguin Video Gala performance tonight has been a complete success.
Almost before the performers even stepped off the stage, the topic of "Sumiya" had already made it to the top of the trending searches.
【Performance at the Penguin Evening Party】
【A Feast for the Eyes of Those Who Love Beauty】
【Yuan Sitong sings "Yu Ye"】
【My youth is back! Guo Xinya's true level as an /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ early female star】
【Help! Xiao He is glowing!】
Among these trending topics, some were bought by the production team of "Yu Ye", some were bought by the individual teams of the main actors, and some were created and climbed on their own. However, when Xiao He saw his own related topics, he could hardly sense a bit of chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur).
"Sister Liu, what kind of trending topic did you get for me?"
Xiao He pointed shakily at the trending topics list on his phone, looking at Liu Rulan with disbelief.
God shone with wondrous light.
How did he become radiant?
Where is the light coming from?
Do you think this is suitable?
Xiao He held up his phone in shock. "These trending topics are so childish and abstract. Do you think they match my trending topics with other people's?"
Liu Rulan glanced at it and shrugged: "Well, there's nothing we can do about it. It's all about attracting attention. We prepared five trending topics, but the big data analysis preferred this one."
This was added by Liu Rulan on the spot after watching the performance. The result was obvious: not only she, but also her fans, resonated with her after watching the performance.
"You'll understand once you see the comments."
Liu Rulan looked at the person in front of her, pondered for a moment, and then nodded firmly: "You really are shining. If you don't believe me, go ask Xiao Chen."
Xiao He looked at Xiao Chen with a skeptical expression: "Really?"
Xiao Chen recalled his idol Xiao Ge's performance on stage and couldn't help but nod earnestly: "Indeed."
When Xiao Ge stood on the stage, he really had a star-like aura, which was quite different from his usual self.
Xiao He then opened the comments section with a puzzled look.
Was it because his clothes had too many sequins, making it too dazzling under the stage lights?
【I declare that Xiao He can succeed based on his looks alone! Please, he shouldn't be in dramas anymore, he should be on stage more! He's so handsome! He's truly dazzling; standing next to two beautiful women, he wasn't overshadowed at all, he's incredibly handsome.】
【Before clicking: What a cringeworthy entry. After clicking: Xiao He? That's true.】
【I support Xiao Ge taking power and skirting the rules. Who supports him? Who opposes him?】
【Wow, Brother Xiao, you've changed! You're a completely different person! Why don't I usually feel this way, but when you stand on stage, you automatically exude an aura of 'I'm a big star'? It's so cool to watch!】
【Xiao He really did have a superstar vibe for a moment; I seriously suspect he was acting.】
【Why is there such an authoritative answer? I actually find it very reasonable.】
【Haha, I'm truly impressed by this explanation. His acting skills are undeniably superb, haha.】
【It's really strange. The song Xiao He and the others sang wasn't particularly amazing. Xiao He's breathing in certain lyrics clearly showed he was a beginner, and it was already quite good for his first time on stage. But his stage presence was incredibly stable, and his aura was so strong that it was impossible to look away.】
【To be honest, I was just a casual fan of his before, but today I suddenly realized how good-looking he is.】
【Wait, weren't you guys hooked during the Muze era? Xiao Ge may be fierce, but he's still handsome.】
【And this is Xiao Ge's first time participating in a performance like this. He himself said before that he can't actually sing, but his stage performance was really strong. I'm actually starting to look forward to Taozi's performance at the gala tomorrow. I support Xiao Ge on stage more often; it's just too kind to us fans.】
【Isn't "Sumiya" even more appealing, premiering next week? I've been eagerly anticipating its release ever since reading the original novel.】
【That's really great! Who watched the gala performance for two days straight, then spent a few days admiring it, and now they're able to start watching the drama "Yuya" again? Oh, it's a fan of our Little Box! That's wonderful!】
【Looking forward to Yin Qi's role in "Yu Ye," Xiao He, go go go! May your future be filled with stars, soaring all the way to the Milky Way!】

"I have a strong aura?"
Xiao He finally understood the situation.
He did prepare himself mentally before going on stage, but he was more focused on doing it seriously rather than trying to highlight any particular characteristic or good looks. When he was on stage, he hoped to do his job well and provide a good viewing experience for the fans.
To my utter surprise, the effect was exceptionally good.
"Perhaps this is what many people mean when they say – the most handsome people are those who work hard!"
Xiao Chen chimed in with jokes from the side.
Xiao He: "How am I supposed to respond to this?"
If I accept the answer, I'll seem narcissistic; if I don't, I'll seem pretentious...
Nevertheless, Xiao He couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth into a smile.
Who wouldn't be happy to be complimented on their looks?
Fans say I have the aura of a big star! What does that mean?
This proves I'm exceptionally talented; I'm the chosen protagonist!
This meal is mine!
Arrogant! Inflated!
"Cough cough cough!"
Liu Rulan coughed lightly from the side, "Stop grinning like an idiot. We're going to meet those guests ahead of us. Don't make it seem like Linghui Entertainment has an unreliable boss."
"Ahem, hmm hmm."
Xiao He immediately stopped smiling, cleared his throat, and then instantly became serious: "Who was laughing?"
Liu Rulan glanced at her sideways: "I wonder who it is."
"I don't know either."
Xiao He looked at Xiao Chen, "Xiao Chen, are you laughing?"
Xiao Chen, grinning from ear to ear, chuckled: "?"
"It really was you." Xiao He immediately pointed at Xiao Chen. "During work hours, you need to stay serious!"
Xiao Chen: ...Okay, okay, it's my fault.
"I'm sorry, Brother Xiao."
He retracted his bared teeth in a second.
"They're gone, they're gone."
Liu Rulan was truly amused by this clown, gave him a reminder, and then led Xiao He toward the front of the stage.
"Xiao He!"
Just then, the people sitting in the front row waved in their direction.
Xiao He walked over and saw Tao Zidong's smiling face.
Sitting next to him was Song Yuanqi from Jiaxing Entertainment.
To be honest, the feud between these two is even more extensive than that between Xiao He and Xiao He. I don't know if the organizers did it on purpose or not, but they actually arranged for these two to sit together.
As Tao Zidong called out, Song Yuanqi also looked over and then waved, "Xiao Xiao, sit here. I just saw your name tag."
Another middle-aged man sitting next to Song Yuanqi said with a hint of mockery, "So this is President Xiao. I saw his performance just now, and he was in excellent form."
This statement has a certain air of condescension, like someone watching a performance from a high vantage point.
Xiao He didn't feel embarrassed at all. He walked over and sat down with a smile, then said, "There are so many seniors in the audience. I was quite nervous at first, but now that I have your recognition, I feel much more at ease."
This address of "senior" is not a sign of weakness.
—But if you don't work hard, little brother, then I'll turn on you and bully you sooner or later, you foul-mouthed old man!
