Xiao He's live stream was suspended.
Xiao He promotes bloodshed and violence.
【Xiao He recreates Zhu Laosan's story in a live stream】
On the same day that Xiao He's live stream was banned, he once again became a trending topic.
Looking at those entries, Xiao He was truly impressed.
These days, netizens have nothing better to do.
Is it really necessary for something so simple to trend on social media?
Although Xiao He could roughly guess that the production team and Sister Liu were definitely behind the trending topic, but—
He really doesn't like hearing about this trending topic!
What kind of talk is that! It makes it sound like he killed someone in the live stream.
However, the world's joys and sorrows are not the same, and netizens who saw this trending topic on the internet were laughing hysterically.
【Haha, I was there. I saw him smile at us, and then he got banned.】
【Oh, so this is the seal?】
【Hilarious! I thought he was live-streaming a murder, but you're telling me he just laughed.】
【When Brother Xiao smiles, life and death are unpredictable. Don't believe me? See the screenshot from that time. 【screenshot.jpg】】
【Wow, at first glance I thought it was a ghost picture, but it's actually Brother Xiao? This makeup is amazing, but that smile... I can only say, Brother Xiao deserved to be banned. If I were the one reviewing it, I would have been startled too.】
【This special effects makeup artist is truly amazing. I remember her name is Feng Songyue. She's won an international special effects makeup creative award, participated in the special effects makeup design for many major international productions, and even did stage makeup for several big names in the US. She's an incredibly talented makeup artist. No wonder she was able to perfectly recreate Brother Xiao as Zhu Laosan this time; she definitely has real skill.】
【My goodness, the beautiful lady who did Xiao Ge's makeup was so amazing!】
【Those interested can search for it directly; what the original poster mentioned is only a part of her impressive resume.】
Okay, no need to say more, I'm already starting to feel inferior.
Seeing the topic gradually veer off course, Xiao He was unexpectedly relieved. Then he opened the screenshot that his fans had taken of him and was startled.
The man in the picture is ugly. His face is covered with pimples that look like boils of varying sizes. His cheeks and nose are also pitted and uneven. His whole face looks like a fermented bun, all puffed up.
On that face that looked extremely intimidating, a chillingly sinister smile appeared, as if he were staring intently at the viewers behind the screen.
Not to mention the other viewers, Xiao He was also shocked by what he saw.
Good heavens, no wonder! The reviewer tolerated that face, but with that smile—if they didn't ban you, who would they ban! Xiao He thought the reviewer's tolerance was really ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ too strong, since they didn't call the police immediately.
After much deliberation, in order to prevent this picture from becoming a black mark on his future history, Xiao He moved his fingers and censored most of the "ghost pictures" circulating online.
Even if other passersby want to open or save the image, they will find that it is already a 404 error.
In this situation, they would only assume that the image was too frightening, triggering the network security mechanism to automatically remove it, rather than that Xiao He himself was behind it.
Sure enough, someone noticed the situation within minutes, but everyone just laughed and no one suspected anything.
Xiao He: ...The child is suffering in his heart, but he doesn't say it.
Finally, even Liu Rulan called, asking Xiao He to take some time tomorrow to visit their current studio and take a set of photos for business purposes.
“Your image must be separated from Zhu Laosan’s. Zhu Laosan is Zhu Laosan, and you are you. The dividing line between the two must be clear.” Liu Rulan’s voice was very serious. “Otherwise, once you are tied to this situation, your future development will be greatly hindered.”
Xiao He asked sincerely, "They can't possibly invite me and also bring Sister Feng along all the time, can they? Then Sister Feng and I could team up."
Many people only realized that Xiao He played Zhu Laosan after leaving the movie theater, which shows that they actually had an inherent aversion to the appearance of Xiao He and Zhu Laosan and did not confuse the two. However, with the prevalence of memes and jokes on the internet, people have developed the misconception that Xiao He's appearance is the same as Zhu Laosan's.
This illusion can be quickly dispelled simply by Xiao He producing new works.
Liu Rulan: "...Don't veer off-topic."
Xiao He: "Okay, Sister Liu, please go ahead."
Liu Rulan coughed lightly and continued, "Our studio has just been renovated, so we need to take a few more sets of photos of you to keep on file. This will make it easier for you to find fashion and business resources in the future."
After all, when you submit your resume, you can't just show people a headshot, right?
Xiao He has a good appearance and figure, and Liu Rulan plans to help him secure some resources in the fashion industry.
And photos are, of course, indispensable.
Xiao He: "I understand."
After thinking for a moment, he asked Liu Rulan about their studio, which was a rare occurrence for him: "Sister Liu, is our studio an investment by you alone, or are there other people collaborating with you?"
Liu Rulan was somewhat surprised: "Why did you suddenly think of asking this?"
"I was just asking casually."
"That's right, I should tell you some things."
Liu Rulan said calmly, "This studio was indeed created by my own investment. As long as you work hard to make money, I expect to break even within two years."
Xiao He: "...Sister Liu, you're so rich?"
Liu Rulan chuckled: "Although I have left Jiaxing Entertainment, I was one of the old employees who worked together to get started back then, and I still have some shares."
Naturally, some of Jiaxing Entertainment's shareholders would not refuse to buy back the shares held by Liu Rulan.
Xiao He clicked his tongue in amazement: "That's Jiaxing Entertainment! Sister Liu, you have such great courage."
Jiaxing Entertainment is one of the largest star-making companies in China, with extremely high annual revenue. Even if you do nothing and just become a small shareholder, the annual dividends are very considerable.
It's no exaggeration to say that Liu Rulan has essentially sold off her future pension funds!
Liu Rulan didn't seem to care at all: "Money can always be earned. If I don't give up these shares, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave Jiaxing."
Otherwise, why would Jiaxing let her go so easily? They even let her take her team with her.
There's a price to pay for all of this.
After a moment's thought, Xiao He asked, "Sister Liu, do you still need investors?"
"Yes, there is a shortage, but not that much, since you are the only artist we have right now."
"Then what do you think of me?"
Liu Rulan chuckled, her tone teasing, "What? You don't actually want to be my boss, do you? That would cost millions—"
"Five million, is that alright?"
Liu Rulan stopped speaking.
The woman on the phone was silent for a long time before asking, "Xiao He, you seem pretty well-behaved usually. You really haven't been robbing a bank or gambling behind my back, have you?"
Xiao He was speechless: "...Sister Liu, you have hurt me so much. We have known each other for so long, how could you not trust me at all?"
"It's precisely because I know you that I don't quite believe you."
Liu Rulan said sincerely, "After all, I haven't heard that your family won the lottery and became rich overnight."
Xiao He: "..."
Damn it, why can't it be his money?! He's one of the 2.08 million now!
—Wait a minute, when did Sister Liu get his parents' contact information?!
