691 You Guys Aren’t That Popular, Are You?
Pei Jie’s emotions were complicated as he watched the news on Weibo jump.
He used to have a lot of fans on Weibo, but they slowly left.
Now, he had even more fans.
Shi Xi’s message box fell from the top.
Pei Jie was speechless.
Why was Teacher Shi Xi looking for him?
Did he say something wrong just now?
Shi Xi: [Don’t mind the comments online. As fans, they might be more aggressive in their comments. Just block them and block them.]
Pei Jie heaved a sigh of relief and replied, [It’s my fans who are too aggressive. I’m sorry to have troubled you.]
After all, Shi Xi was his mentor, although he didn’t stay there for long.
Shi Xi replied, [It’s fine, it’s fine. Don’t take it to heart~ Also, you can record the unlocked voice chat and send it to your official Weibo. The official Weibo account said that they couldn’t contact your agent, so they put Lou Lou’s account first.]
Pei Jie sighed. [Okay.]
His manager had never cared about him. He would ignore any jobs that came to him.
[By the way, I’ve received an advertisement for [Endless Joy] on Friday. Did you get it?]
Pei Jie replied, [No.]
[Endless Joy] was a very popular variety show on Apple TV. Only very popular artistes would be invited to participate.
[Ah? The program team has invited you. Why don’t you ask your manager?]
[Alright, thank you, Teacher Shi Xi.]
After the chat, Pei Jie went to ask his manager.
“The fee was too low, so I rejected it!” the manager said fiercely.
“But I think it’s good as long as there’s exposure. It’s fine if there’s less money,” Pei Jie said.
“Are you a manager?” The manager was displeased. “Do you know how to become popular in the entertainment industry?”
“Do you think you’re famous just because you’re the male lead of a movie?”
“No way, no way? You can’t be that stupid, right?”
“Shi Xi is the one who raised the box office for all the movies! What are you?”
“With your wooden brain, you want to go on a variety show? If you go on variety shows, you’ll only attract more fans and waste your time!”
Pei Jie pursed his lips. “Then, what jobs have you arranged for me?”
“Oh, there’s a shopping mall opening. Prepare a show and perform there,” the manager said.
“I don’t want to take this job. I want to go to [Endless Joy].” Pei Jie took a deep breath.
The manager, “You can get whatever you want? How can you be so na?ve?”
In the end, the manager did not agree to let Pei Jie go to [Endless Joy].
..
On the way to record [Endless Joy], Shi Xi was constantly reminded by Han Chuan.
“Don’t let Lou Ruicong talk too much,” Han Chuan said. “If he does anything out of line, remember to stop him.”
“Brother Han,” Lou Ruicong said unhappily, “I’m not a kid. I know what to say!”
Han Chuan looked at him and said to Shi Xi, “If you can’t save him, just take care of yourself.”
Han Chuan was in a very subtle mood when it came to Lou Ruicong.
After the production team of [Energetic Girl] was finished, Han Chuan wanted to find a script for the two.
Shi Xi had a good personality and many works, so many scripts came up. Han Chuan just had to slowly pick a good one.
Lou Ruicong had offended many directors, and the friends of the directors were also directors, so few people invited Lou Ruicong.
In fact, Lou Ruicong even told the director directly at the last audition, “Your script isn’t good! This is your first time directing a film, right?”
The director’s face darkened. “Then you’ll be the director?”
Lou Ruicong didn’t hear the irony in his words. “Sure, give me the pen. I’ll teach you how to change it.”
In the end, Lou Ruicong was asked to leave by the staff.
When Han Chuan found out about this, his head hurt. He asked, “If you thought the script wasn’t good, why didn’t you say so before the audition?”
In this case, he wouldn’t have let Lou Ruicong go for the audition.
“I think the script is good,” Lou Ruicong said. “But I need to teach the director so that he can do better.”
“You think you know more about acting than the director?” Han Chuan asked.
Lou Ruicong didn’t hear the sarcasm in his words. “I’ve never been a director, but if I were, I’d definitely be better than him.”
Han Chuan: “…”
He gave up on communication.
Shi Xi had heard about Lou Ruicong’s glorious deeds from Zhu Lin.
Shi Xi could only give him a thumbs up and think: Awesome, ruthless.
Before entering the recording studio, Han Chuan lit a cigarette, his face full of vicissitudes.
...
Taking care of Lou Ruicong was more tiring than taking care of other people.
Lou Ruicong would offend others sooner or later.
*
[Endless Joy] was recorded indoors, and the host was happy family.
The hosts were very warm and welcoming to Shi Xi and Lou Ruicong.
Together with Shi Xi was a small group of girls, the Snow Flower Dance.
“Because we three girls have Hua, Xue, and Wu in our names, so we got this name.”
Lou Ruicong couldn’t help but ask, “Why not call it the snowflake dance? It sounds better.”
“Snowflake dance. It sounds like a dance,” the emcee said.
“Yes.” Xiao Xue nodded. “We think snowflakes are too common, so we named it ‘Snow Flower Dance’.
“It sounds awkward. You guys aren’t popular, are you?” Lou Ruicong said directly.
...
Lou Ruicong’s words were regarded as a preview.
You guys aren’t popular, are you?
Next to it were the big words, [Emotional intelligence is touching!]
Seeing Lou Ruicong’s wise post, the netizens immediately started to attack Lou Ruicong.
[Some people aren’t even popular themselves, right? You still have the cheek to criticize others?]
[You’re already so muddled that no one cares, and you’re still talking about others? An honest man is really funny.]
[How can such a rude person be in the entertainment industry?]
The scene instantly fell into silence.
Everyone was confused.
The group felt embarrassed.
How were they supposed to answer?
In particular, they were indeed not very popular.
It was only because they had filmed a short video that they had gained some popularity. They had been lucky enough to be signed by a big company.
However, when compared to Lou Ruicong and Shi Xi, there was no such person in the entertainment industry.
The company was big enough to get on [Endless Joy].
“We’re indeed not very popular now, but I believe that it’ll get better and better in the future!” Xiao Xue said honestly.
Shi Xi looked at Lou Ruicong and asked, “Why do you think they’re not popular?”
Lou Ruicong was brainless, but he wouldn’t attack someone for no reason and embarrass them.
“Because my name was also very difficult to pronounce, I wasn’t popular before. Even my fans couldn’t get my name right.” Lou Ruicong said, “Now that my input method has improved, you can think of my name directly. They even gave me a nickname, ‘Lou Lou.’ That’s why I’m remembered by everyone.”
Everyone came to a realization.
Shi Xi understood what Lou Ruicong meant. “You mean, there’s a certain connection between one’s name and success?”
“It’s easier to remember with a clear name.” Lou Ruicong looked at Shi Xi. “Your name is easy to remember.”
“Thank you,” Shi Xi replied.
But I’m not famous because my name is easy to remember!
F*ck.
The audience was speechless when they saw the program.
[It’s not that Lou Lou is impolite. He’s just asking a question.]
[Believe me, Lou Lou is just brainless.]
[I’ll apologize on Lou Lou’s behalf first. The three little sisters are very good! I wish the younger sisters better and better in the future!]
[Please pay more attention to Lou Lou and Xi Xi’s movie, [Energetic Girl]~]
Fortunately, Lou Ruicong was a comedian. He didn’t seem to have a good brain. Because he was handsome, he wasn’t famous, so this matter was over for the time being.
At the scene.
Shi Xi finally heaved a sigh of relief.
The introduction segment finally passed smoothly!
Next, it was time for the game of crossing the railing.
The host introduced the rules of the game. “The game is two people in a group. The boys will carry or carry the girls over the railing, but they can’t touch the railing.”
“Each person has three chances. The group with the lowest number of people crossing the railing without touching the railing wins.”
Lou Ruicong asked, “Only boys can carry girls? Can’t girls carry boys?”
The host: Why do you like to pick on me so much?
Shi Xi dissolved the awkwardness and asked in a half-joking manner, “Do you want me to piggyback you? Is it because you piggybacked me in the movie, and now you want to take revenge?”
“No,” Lou Ruicong replied honestly, “I saw more girls on the field.”
As he spoke, Lou Ruicong looked at the three members of the Snow Flower Dance girl group.
Snow Flower Dance: We’re redundant, right?
