After returning to Shanghai, Xiao He was busy dealing with the backlog of activities.
As another year draws to a close, there are countless year-end galas and award ceremonies, and Xiao He, as one of this year's most popular actors, naturally cannot be absent.
Xiao Chen, who followed him back, was also busy.
This time, the team went to the desert. Not only did Xiao He have work, but Xiao Chen was also assigned a task: to film Xiao He's daily life in the desert of G Province without revealing important plot details.
After all, Xiao He has few paparazzi and rarely appeared in public during the filming of "Time and Space Standoff" and "The Thief 2". Therefore, in order to ensure Xiao He's exposure, his team also has to use some other means to ensure that Xiao He's fans can see him often.
So after Xiao Chen returned to Linghui Entertainment, the team immediately started editing and released Xiao He's "Silk Road Vlog" during peak weekend times.
【Linghui - Little Box Studio: Ding! Receive today's dose of Brother Xiao! The Silk Road journey is long, but it's really a bit cold, *slurp* 【Video】】
The video is quite long and rich in content. The editing style is really like a travel variety show, which can be considered as making up for Xiao He's regret of not participating in "Travels in Mountains and Rivers".
It's unclear where Xiao Chen was hiding while filming, but he managed to capture both the scenes of Xiao He and Pu Rong riding camels around and the crew lying on the ground enjoying the sunset over the desert. The wonderful atmosphere of the crew playing around while filming, and the good friends teasing each other, instantly moved countless netizens.
Wow, they seem so happy; working on set makes everything feel more vibrant.
【I have to say, this is how happy you are when a group of friends get together.】
【I'm starting to miss my university life. Back then, a group {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} of us went scuba diving in Haishi to collaborate on our graduation project. Although we had our share of disagreements along the way, the sunset over the sea that night was truly beautiful. It made all the setbacks worthwhile.】
【Haha, Brother Xiao tricked Pu Rong into riding a camel away, and Vision, after eating a sour fruit, was so mischievous that he'd rather swallow it himself than let the others down. It's hilarious!】
【So this is what a camel looks like when it runs! It's even faster than I've seen on TV! I thought it would be slow because it has two humps on its back.】
【If you're curious, you can check out camel races in those provinces, and also see how certain tribes abroad hunt on camels. The fact that they've been able to live and thrive in these areas to this day certainly has its reasons.】
【But this feels so dangerous. I don't find it funny, I just feel scared. Camels run so fast, and Pu Rong was completely unprepared. If he had fallen or something else had happened, Xiao He couldn't afford to pay for a life.】
Here we go again. I really don't know how to respond to this kind of comment.
【A little-known fact: Pu Rong is an excellent equestrian, having even won a national championship. He and Xiao He were just joking. Didn't you see that Pu Rong's waist and abdomen remained perfectly stable while the camel was running? He didn't even say anything, yet netizens are already stirring up trouble.】
【Forget it, don't argue with people like that. Even Pu Rong would need to practice on the internet!】
【Let's not talk about that anymore. I really want to know when Xiao Ge will be on a variety show? He seems to have a really great personality; it would be great if he could be on a variety show.】
【A little-known fact is that the production company "Wandering Through Mountains and Rivers" originally wanted to have Xiao Ge as a regular cast member, but he declined in order to film "The Thief Catcher 2".】
【Huh? Which production is this? Is it the period drama that Brother Xiao and his team are filming right now?】
【The Thieves 2! Didn't you know? Filming has been going on for a long time, it seems like it's almost finished.】
【What?! My beloved movie is getting a sequel?! It's such a shame that *The Thief Catcher* wasn't released in theaters back then! My family and I watched it together, and we really loved it, especially the main character's action scenes—they were so cool!】
【Great! I had the chance to meet Brother Xiao and the others at the Peking Opera last year. I was really sad for a long time when I heard that there was no sequel to "The Thief Catcher." Now I've finally got what I've been waiting for! Hehehe!】
A short vlog sparked a variety of topics, with a bunch of people discussing it in the comments.
Soon, "The Thief Catcher 2" was also trending on the hot search list. Even the news that Xiao He did not participate in "The Journey of Mountains and Rivers" successfully made it to the hot search list as the main name of the variety show.
It's obvious to anyone with eyes that this trending topic was bought by the production team themselves, simply to ride on Xiao He's popularity, especially since "Travel Notes" had just started filming not long ago.
However, since the production team of "Travel Notes on Mountains and Rivers" had always treated Xiao He very well and the sky-high salary was indeed sincere, Ling Hui's operations team did not intervene too much after understanding the situation, which can be regarded as tacitly helping to promote the variety show "Travel Notes on Mountains and Rivers".

Linghui Entertainment.
After reviewing the company documents, Xiao He took a stroll during his free time and found Liu Rulan carrying a small bag, looking like she was leaving get off work early.
"Why are you leaving get off work so early today, Sister Liu?"
Xiao He asked in surprise.
It's not that he's an evil capitalist who wants to exploit his employees to work overtime; it's just that Sister Liu has always been like this. The title of "Queen of Linghui Entertainment" is well-deserved. She's always the one working overtime; I've never seen anyone leave early.
"Sister Liu, is something the matter?"
Xiao He asked with concern.
Liu Rulan was dressed very casually today, wearing a simple beige trench coat with knee-high boots and a medium-length wavy hairstyle, which made her look quite gentle and graceful, without the assertiveness she usually displays at work.
"Ah, I'm going to see an old friend."
Liu Rulan touched the sunglasses on her head, glanced at Xiao He, and then, as if she had thought of something, casually asked, "Want to come along?"
"I know this friend of yours?"
"Well, there is some connection. You should go and take a look."
"sure."
Xiao He felt a surge of curiosity.
"Then dress up a bit, and make sure you don't attract paparazzi or paparazzi, because it's inconvenient for him to appear in public media."
"Okay, don't worry, Sister Liu."
...
A few minutes later, Xiao He sat in a dining chair, looking at each other with two other acquaintances.
"This Chinese restaurant has been open for many years and offers excellent privacy."
Liu Rulan took off her mask and said with a smile, "So you don't need to worry. Take off your mask and hat, and everyone can talk more freely."
Xiao He took off his hat and mask, glanced at Zhou Junhao sitting at this side of the table, then at Tong Junhui at the other side of the table, and finally looked at Liu Rulan sitting next to him. He was somewhat amused and exasperated: "Okay, okay."
Good, good, he really didn't expect that Liu Rulan's talk of meeting an old acquaintance was actually going to see Tong Junhui!
And coincidentally, Tong Junhui even brought along reporter Zhou Junhao!
Looking at the people present, Xiao He really didn't know what to say.
"This is Xiao He, you should know him."
Liu Rulan continued her introductions, her gaze falling on the person Tong Junhui had brought: "This is—"
Tong Junhui also introduced him frankly: "This is my friend Zhou Junhao. He is now my colleague, and can be considered my partner and senior."
Zhou Junhao and Xiao He looked at each other across the dining table, both of them revealing complicated, dry smiles.
"Hehe, hello, hello."
"Hello, Teacher Xiao. Hello, Teacher Xiao."
