Chapter 138 : Chapter 138

Chapter 138: “Our teacher is so handsome.”

“Teacher, long time no see.”

“Long time no see, have a seat.”

“There was a bit of traffic, sorry to have kept you waiting.”

“I just arrived too, I don't know if you're used to this kind of food, if you want to add anything just tell the waiter, no need to be polite with me.”

“There’s nothing I’m not used to eating, Xu Qiqi, this is Teacher Jiang——Teacher Jiang, this is Xu Qiqi.”

Xu Qiqi sat down, hurriedly greeted the man opposite him, and recited the self-introduction he had memorized by heart.

At first, when Wanshu Zu took Xu Qiqi to meet various people, Xu Qiqi would get so excited he would spin in circles with Qiao Tian.

When playing the role of Wanshu Zu's junior, his hands trembled.

Fortunately, his words were nimble, and he never made a fool of himself.

As a result of being tied to his hip for several months, Xu Qiqi had also been trained a lot.

Jiang Fan was formerly a professor in the journalism department of the Media University.

Wanshu Zu had never taken his class, but he had dealt with him.

The school's BBS was Jiang Fan's "courseware."

He often required students to dig deep into the news behind the monthly hot topics on the BBS. Wanshu Zu's name appeared too many times in the final term papers, so it was impossible not to be familiar with him.

Later, due to personal development, Jiang Fan retained the title of honorary professor, mainly focusing on academic research.

This time, Jiang Fan had taken the initiative to invite Wanshu Zu.

He wanted to film a documentary.

The place where they met for dinner had excellent privacy.

Jiang Fan was a regular here and had a good relationship with the owner, so they could talk freely.

He also knew that Wanshu Zu was being watched wherever he went now, and reporters big and small all wanted to pry some news out of his mouth.

——Was he really splitting up with Li Yamin?

——After Li Yamin's studio became independent, it became affiliated with Lishou.

Was this part of a career plan.

——Why make such a big adjustment before the public listing, did he really not care about the company's stock price at all?

——Lishou Entertainment had accepted multiple rounds of financing, most of which had nothing to do with the entertainment industry.

Once it rises, could it pose a challenge to the current composite entertainment groups?

In the past, Wanshu Zu caused a sensation online for various superficial reasons, but now, the ones paying the most attention to him were in the financial circle.

Having climbed to the top of entertainment, he had long been detached from the masses, but at this time, Wanshu Zu instead did not care about the company's superior and turned to get busy with his main job.

He was here as a manager.

“I heard that you are looking for a narrator who understands experimental accidents.”

After chatting about trivial matters, Wanshu Zu went straight to the topic, “It just so happens that I have a suitable candidate, but she's busy with a stage play recently, so I brought Xu Qiqi to talk with you first. If it's suitable, we can continue the discussion.”

“Yes.”

Jiang Fan said, “I started preparing after that accident in a university laboratory a few years ago... three students died, and in the end, it was determined to be due to student operational error, and the school refused to take responsibility... sigh...”

He sighed, “Later, I interviewed many students who graduated with a degree in chemical engineering. Many of them only realized after gaining work experience that there had always been significant safety hazards at the school...”

“Every year there are a large number of laboratory accidents, and many of those with non-serious injuries are suppressed. It's difficult for reporters to find out anything at schools. Students need to get their graduation and degree certificates, teachers need to get their professional titles evaluated, and the procurement of experimental equipment and materials is another pile of difficult things...”

“When you've been in the news business for a long time, it's easy to become numb to these things. You'll classify events according to your subjective views, to define what's important, what's not important, what can be investigated, and what is just asking for trouble if you investigate it... There are too few investigative journalists still persisting in China.”

“This is not good.”

He said, “This is not good.”

The characteristic of documentaries is that the filming cycle is long, the early stage is very difficult, and it's hard to get scheduled for screening in the later stage.

The audience is narrow, the dissemination rate is low, and the investment is not proportional to the "harvest."

Many documentary directors do not make a living by being directors; they end up paying more out of their own pockets.

Xu Qiqi felt a little sad listening.

Jiang Fan was already in his sixties.

He looked to be in good spirits, but when his head full of white hair spoke of these things, his heart couldn't help but feel sour.

He wanted to find a narrator who understood chemical experiments to partially appear on camera in the process of tracing the truth of several major experimental accidents.

He also wanted to promote it as much as possible, not to make money.

No one makes documentaries for the sake of making money.

According to Jiang Fan's status, he could easily be an expert, occasionally making statements that would make people laugh, and he could pick up money just by bending over.

Wanshu Zu recommended Qiao Tian, but the final decision was in the hands of Xu Qiqi and Qiao Tian.

After the dinner, Xu Qiqi said he needed to confirm Qiao Tian's intention, and Jiang Fan politely saw them off.

Wanshu Zu drove Xu Qiqi home.

“Boss, what are your thoughts?”

Xu Qiqi sat in the passenger seat, clutching the seatbelt, and turned his head to ask Wanshu Zu for his opinion.

“This is beneficial for you to build a persona of a top student. Qiao Tian's academic qualifications are barely up to par in the entertainment industry. Her advantage is in science and engineering, not the rampant liberal arts.”

“Moreover, documentaries are easy to submit for awards, the competition isn't strong, with some maneuvering, she can walk enough red carpets, and no one will curse her for freeloading on the red carpet.”

Wanshu Zu said, “The disadvantage is the shooting cycle. In these few years, she can only take on sporadic odd jobs. Even if she encounters a blockbuster, she won't be able to participate in the promotion for the entire duration, and will be very lacking in exposure——do you think Qiao Tian is still considered young?”

Xu Qiqi was still immersed in the emotion of the newsman's close attention to social practice when a basin of cold water was suddenly poured over him, waking him up at once.

Xu Qiqi: “Sister Qiao is quite... quite young.”

She still remembered how to do military-style boxing.

“Not young anymore.”

Wanshu Zu said without looking away, “If you tell Qiao Tian about this opportunity, she will agree immediately, feeling that she is contributing to education and also taking on social responsibility.”

“Isn't that very good...”

“She can think that way, but you can't. You must always be more mercenary than her. Given that you only have her as your one artist, if she makes money, you make money. If she subsists on the northwest wind for a noble cause, you'll have to subsist on the northwest wind with her, all the way until retirement.”

Xu Qiqi swallowed, and said cautiously: “I thought... Boss, you introduced Teacher Jiang because you wanted Sister Qiao to take it.”

“I can take it, you might not be able to.”

The residential complex where Xu Qiqi rented was just ahead.

The road was narrow, and it was difficult to turn around after entering, and it was easy to get stuck with other cars.

Wanshu Zu parked the car on the side of the road.

“I have a lot of things I can use. Before getting busy with Teacher Jiang, I can generate exposure and build momentum for Little Qiao. During the documentary filming, her resources won't be cut off.”

“She will be too busy to sleep well, but as long as the documentary is released, her persona will become difficult to attack. If other entertainment works are launched simultaneously, this documentary will become a shield against all public opinion.”

Xu Qiqi understood.

Because the boss didn't lack resources and didn't have to worry about not getting work due to lack of exposure or traffic, he could map out a very long career path for Qiao Tian.

All the preliminary groundwork was for a complete comeback.

“Then I can do it too...”

Xu Qiqi said, “I, am I not following the boss now? It’s just, it’s just... our Sister Qiao just lacks opportunities. If you casually give her something, Sister Qiao will definitely give perfect feedback.”

He stopped just short of saying it outright: Boss, I don't have resources but you do, please feed us something.

Wanshu Zu glanced at Xu Qiqi: “You go and talk to Gu An about resources yourself.”

He said, “Also, don't make promises like 'definitely'.”

***

Except for internal company affairs, at all other times, Wanshu Zu carried Xu Qiqi with him.

Xu Qiqi carried the little black cat named Little yellow chicken.

Regarding this, the one with the biggest opinion was Gu An.

Wanshu Zu was clearly going to cultivate the newcomer step-by-step, the whole process was even more thoughtful than when he was training him back then.

If it weren't for the fact that Xu Qiqi wouldn't sign with Lishou Entertainment, Gu An would have already started the process to prevent the newcomer from usurping his position.

Now, although Gu An didn't target him too much, he was still very unhappy.

Because Xu Qiqi had latched onto him.

This person was like a dog-skin plaster.

The first message Gu An saw when he woke up and opened his phone was his "Good morning, Gu Brother," at noon it was "Have you eaten, Gu Brother," and at night, he would send another one on time, "Rest early, Gu Brother."

Xu Qiqi also often typed "Gu Brother" as "Google," which made Gu Brother's fists clench.

Gu An knew that Wanshu Zu had recently begun preparations for a new company, Immortal star, and Xu Qiqi was the first collaborating agent of the new company, IS.

It was obvious it was because of Qiao Tian.

Wanshu Zu had always been very fond of Qiao Tian, for no reason at all, treating her like his own daughter.

Gu An endured, and Gu An endured again, until Gu An could endure no more.

The little black cat that Xu Qiqi carried with him scurried to Wanshu Zu's office to be affectionate.

After Xu Qiqi finished discussing the process of affiliating the studio with the company, he came looking for Gu An with coffee to get on his good side.

Gu An in his office: “I’m allergic to coffee.”

Xu Qiqi's thick skin was invincible.

Not embarrassed at all, he took a few gulps of the coffee himself and said: “Regarding our Sister Qiao's schedule, Gu Brother, what do you think of that show 'Two People Traveling Together'?”

He was talking about a variety show that was recently in preparation, for which the copyright was bought from "Omniscient Interfering View."

It recorded the daily interactions between artists and their managers, showing bits and pieces of their work and life.

The program content consisted of two parts: one part was the artist and manager, and the other part was the commentary and interaction of the guests in the observation room.

The name "Two People Traveling Together" lacked sincerity and was more of a gimmick.

No artist and manager traveled together as a pair.

If a team could keep the number of people in the single digits, it meant that the artist was somewhat obscure.

And which manager went on the show was also very targeted.

——But it was very suitable for Qiao Tian and Xu Qiqi's down-and-out studio.

Qiao Tian had already decided to participate in the documentary.

After her work on the stage play was over, she would start reviewing her university major.

Xu Qiqi had seen Qiao Tian's pile of professional books, and coupled with Wanshu Zu's "teaching" before, he was determined to pave the way for her.

"Two People Traveling Together" would symbolically record a week of several groups of artists.

Of course, the content that was broadcast was basically scripted, and it was a script jointly discussed by the program team and the artist's team.

Xu Qiqi wanted Qiao Tian to go on to show her face, to get some materials prepared in advance for the documentary.

After the documentary was filmed, they could have people "dig up the past," not wasting any opportunity for positive exposure.

Gu An: “Do you want to see who the proposed guests are? Compared to them, Qiao Tian is a commoner, and you are a commoner among commoners.”

Xu Qiqi: “I know, I know, Shen Weidi.”

Shen Weidi was about to go abroad to be a decorative vase.

Going on a variety show served as advance publicity, and it also corresponded to what Wanshu Zu had told reporters before, that he had a project that needed to be kept confidential.

Gu An originally wanted to be more tactful, but Xu Qiqi was the first to act all nonchalant.

“I know Gu Brother, you are concerned that they have some bad blood, but don't worry, they won't see each other during filming, and Little Qiao won't hold a grudge.”

Gu An gave him a look that was both annoyed and amused: “You can control Qiao Tian, but can I control Shen Weidi?”

“I have 100% faith in our Gu Brother's ability.”

Xu Qiqi immediately flattered him, and after flattering, he brought out their common boss, “It was also the boss who asked me to come and talk to you. If you don't trust me, can't you trust the boss!”

As Xu Qiqi spoke, he seemed a bit shy, “If Gu Brother can negotiate in between, I won't have to go crying to the boss. This is also reducing the boss's burden, right?”

Gu An: Right my ass.

Gu An learned many things from Wanshu Zu, such as composure, artist management direction, and the perspectives to consider when a crisis occurs.

As the saying goes, a good teacher benefits you for life, and most of the people who worked with Wanshu Zu felt the same way.

Who wouldn't like a sharp, reliable, and ambitious, pragmatic boss?

Now Xu Qiqi was also learning from Wanshu Zu, but Gu An couldn't figure out where this person's sense of shamelessness came from.

He recalled his own twenty-one-year-old self, he wasn't this youthfully invincible and shameless.

When Xu Qiqi said he would cry to the boss, he would really cry, and he might even hug his ancestor, Little yellow chicken, and say some bullshit about how even if he had no achievements, he had worked hard.

Gu An: “I'll mention it to the program team. Whether I can get the spot is not up to me.”

Xu Qiqi smiled so much his eyes couldn't be seen: “Thank you Gu Brother, do you want to have dinner together tonight, Gu Brother!”

Gu An: “Goodbye.”

Xu Qiqi contentedly went to Wanshu Zu's office to pick up the little black cat and go home.

Gu An just mentioned it casually, without much hope.

He didn't brush Xu Qiqi off.

The "Two People Traveling Together" program team was quite ambitious, otherwise they wouldn't have sought out a popular celebrity like Shen Weidi who often set off fireworks in variety shows.

But it wasn't entirely impossible.

The proposed guests included actors, singers, hosts, and other types.

Gu An estimated the program team's offer.

In the guest budget, Shen Weidi definitely took the lion's share, directly taking up two-thirds of the budget.

The rest had to be carefully calculated to strive for cost-effectiveness.

Qiao Tian was simply a great value for the price.

She indeed had no fame, but she had bad blood with Shen Weidi.

Her current representative work was the "Casting Couch Gate."

Even if there was nothing interesting to film, just casually mentioning "back then Shen Weidi blah blah blah" would drive up the click rate.

If Qiao Tian could really be chosen, Gu An would do whatever it took to make Shen Weidi's dog mouth spit out some ivory and explain what happened back then.

It was clear that Wanshu Zu would still look after Qiao Tian.

If it wasn't explained clearly now, when Qiao Tian really made a big comeback, even if she and her team didn't pursue it, Shen Weidi's rivals would turn into warriors of justice and latch onto this matter.

The program team also quickly gave feedback.

They could agree, but on one condition.

They wanted Wanshu Zu to replace Gu An and go on the show with Shen Weidi.

Gu An was stunned on the spot.

He was happy to let another manager take his place, but to ask Wanshu Zu to go... wasn't that a bit too bold?

Wanshu Zu was a complete commoner, but right now there were few commoners more expensive than him.

The program team was willing to raise the price further and would also communicate the script in advance——Gu An relayed all these circumstances to Xu Qiqi and Wanshu Zu.

Xu Qiqi: It's over, no chance.

Wanshu Zu: Okay, have to add more money.

***

After the program team worked overtime to come up with a doubled offer, Chu Zu agreed readily.

Chu Zu's viewpoint remained: if fame couldn't be monetized, it was equivalent to cyberbullying for him.

In the past, fame was used to manage the direction of public opinion, but now public opinion didn't need to be managed.

He had talked to the investors in advance; Li Yamin's changes wouldn't affect the several major rounds of financing.

In the eyes of the investors, what was more important than Li Yamin were the multiple collaborations Wanshu Zu had negotiated.

So he might as well trade fame for money, to raise Shen Weidi's value.

Once his offer went up, it would be difficult to bring it down again.

Moreover, he had basically dealt with what needed to be dealt with, and the several main characters could basically start their own story arcs.

Chu Zu planned to leave "Death by Entertainment" after the company went public.

“Fortunately, Li Yamin is Teacher Big Mango and won't cause a fuss.”

The system said, “But... isn't he a bit too cooperative? After you returned to the country, Li Yamin never looked for you again.”

The system was worried it was a bit OOC.

They didn't even send WeChat messages, relying entirely on emails and the middleman Gu An to advance their work.

Chu Zu: “It's alright, there are plenty of partners who end their cooperative relationships inexplicably. It's not necessary to say harsh words to their face and then make some poisonous oath like 'you'll definitely not live well without me'.”

He said, “Of course, I can't rule out that Li Yamin is brewing up something big for me again.”

System: “Teacher Big Mango's attitude is quite good, it's just that his little chicken is a bit extreme.”

Little yellow chicken sighed, “To expect a little chicken to always remain rational is indeed an extravagant hope.”

The system was quite supportive of the host going on a variety show.

For Wanshu Zu, a week of script filming was a vacation within a vacation.

It was impossible for him to bring company matters onto a variety show to film.

Shen Weidi didn't dare to talk nonsense to him and was highly cooperative.

“Don't you think I'm going back on my word?”

Chu Zu asked Little yellow chicken, “At the beginning, I told you we would walk the path of Long Aotian together, but this mission has no ups and downs. Will you be disappointed?”

Little yellow chicken bounced around in the sea of consciousness, scrambling up the host's pant leg all the way to his shoulder.

When it was a little black cat, it liked to rub against the host's shoulder.

It also understood why people on the internet said that broad shoulders were a man's medal of honor.

This place was really great.

It could lie there stably, rub closely, and because Chu Zu was tall, the height it could see from was also quite marvelous.

It was like flying.

Little yellow chicken said: “If the mission itself isn't difficult, I think nothing you do has ups and downs. You're just not the type of person who likes to make big scenes.”

“That doesn't sound like a compliment. I originally wrote novels. Something too plain is equivalent to a running account, no readers will pay for it.”

“The stories you write can be very exciting, but life doesn't have to be exciting all the time, we're on vacation! Vacation!”

Little yellow chicken clenched its fist, “You're in a good mood this time, so I'm in a good mood too! It would be great if you can continue to be in a good mood after this is over and you've talked with the superior.”

Chu Zu didn't speak.

***

The "Two People Traveling Together" program team quickly confirmed the time for the coordination meeting.

Before the variety show started, the relevant personnel would meet to clarify the division of labor and confirm the process.

It was not mandatory for the artists to attend, but the managers had to be present.

It was best if both could come.

The coordination meeting had to confirm many things, including the guests' needs and details before filming, a more specific schedule, the content the program team hoped the guests would cover, and so on.

After the meeting, the program team would organize the needs and feedback mentioned during the meeting, implement them in the filming plan, and assign a liaison person for the entire period to maintain daily contact with the guest teams to ensure a smooth follow-up.

Because Wanshu Zu would be present, Shen Weidi also decided to come along.

This directly forced all the other artists who originally didn't plan to show up to also attend.

Before the coordination meeting even began, the scene once fell into embarrassment.

Wanshu Zu didn't speak, Shen Weidi didn't speak, and the others had nothing to say after greeting them.

After Qiao Tian and Xu Qiqi arrived, there were only two empty seats left next to Wanshu Zu.

Wanshu Zu took the initiative to ask about the progress of the documentary.

Qiao Tian answered everything truthfully, admitting that she had forgotten a lot of what she had learned in university, but her review progress was okay.

She had communicated with Teacher Jiang and would not fall behind.

Wanshu Zu then asked her about her schedule after the variety show.

Xu Qiqi: “Preparing, preparing. Don't worry, Gu Brother and I are discussing it.”

He knew he was the manager with the least experience present and kept a very low profile.

He also understood the principle of holding tightly to a powerful backer——not only holding on but also letting others know he was holding on.

This was called a dog borrowing its master's power, a fox borrowing the tiger's might!

Shen Weidi was unusually quiet, his face under the brim of his hat was expressionless, his attitude indiscernible.

Gu An had implicitly reminded him not to cause any trouble.

The program team wished he would throw a fit on the spot, saving them a large budget for publicity.

Gu An also hoped he could apologize to Qiao Tian.

Shen Weidi didn't say yes, nor did he say no.

His own top manager was showing concern for a former artist, and that former artist had had an unpleasant episode with him.

This was already a slap in his face.

The expressions of the other groups of guests who were watching the drama also said the same thing.

Soon, the core production team entered the meeting room.

Producer: “Today's meeting is mainly for us to get to know each other first. Let's chat freely and make some simple preparations for the subsequent filming.”

Each group of guests had their own content to discuss.

The singer's manager had to talk to the producer about the ending song of this show, the proportion of insert songs, whether it could boost the popularity of the singer's main song, and the identity of the songwriter they wanted to promote.

Xu Qiqi knew that Qiao Tian didn't have any exciting segments, nor did she have fans who followed her daily life.

He wanted to start from the observation room, letting them obliquely mention things related to the documentary to lift Qiao Tian's prestige, so he went to coordinate with the screenwriter.

The host had already discussed most things before signing the contract.

As long as it was content filmed with all the guests together, the entire process would be cued by her.

Actors were the same old story.

Those with dramas promoted their dramas, those without continued to focus on their personas.

They also needed some plot like "it's not easy to be an actor, and to be an actor with pursuits is accompanied by huge sacrifices."

Some actors' managers also needed to find a post-production supervisor to ensure that when the footage came out, the artist's face would not collapse——it would be best to add some filters and skin smoothing.

It would be even better if wrinkles could be fixed frame by frame.

What post-production budget?

They didn't care about the budget.

Shen Weidi's requests were not very specific, but the list of precautions Wanshu Zu took out was several times that of the other groups of artists.

No mentioning Li Yamin, no asking about his family situation, no guiding topics unrelated to the tentative script's direction.

All filming materials——including the observation room commentary materials——had to be checked and verified by the team.

The final cut would be checked again.

All publicity and related materials had to be confirmed by them, not just for Shen Weidi alone.

Wanshu Zu wanted to see everyone's materials.

It was obvious that he wanted to ensure Shen Weidi would not become a stepping stone for other guests to get ahead.

There were too many possibilities for a variety show to secretly give someone a lift.

With just a similar scenario, the director could create a comparison group based on the materials from two groups.

Sacrifice one to make the whole project a success.

Just looking at one's own artist's part didn't feel like much, but when the final effect came out, it was already difficult to remedy.

Reshooting was basically impossible, and the review by the radio and television administration still needed time.

The program team only needed to express regret and sympathy on the surface, acting as if they were as anxious as the artist's team, while secretly hiring an online water army to guide the discussion, and the topic's popularity would explode.

Under normal circumstances, regardless of whether it was black or red fame, having traffic was a gain.

Some artists who suffered a loss would turn a blind eye, treating it as cooperating with the director team's hype.

Shen Weidi didn't need this.

The producer nodded repeatedly on the surface, but had long since gnashed his teeth in his heart.

Wasn't Shen Weidi invited precisely to create some excitement?

Who didn't know he was a troublemaker, and it would be best if he could fight with his manager.

But Wanshu Zu had laid out numerous restrictions, and Shen Weidi sat next to him, exceptionally well-behaved, with an attitude of 'I'll do whatever my manager says,' as if he had been possessed.

Wanshu Zu's requests alone took nearly fifteen minutes.

After finishing his requests, he said no more nonsense, sitting as steady as a mountain, waiting for the person in front of him to respond.

Xu Qiqi's eyes shone on the side, wishing he could take out a small notebook to jot it all down.

Must learn, must learn thoroughly.

When else to learn if not now!

The producer and director exchanged a look: “No problem, these are all easy to discuss. Then about the schedule...”

***

The "Two People Traveling Together" project caused quite a stir in the variety show circle.

In the initial investment promotion, there were only two: a title sponsor and a brand for acknowledgment.

When the guests were confirmed, the publicity directors of these two brands were grinning from ear to ear; it was like a pie falling from the sky.

At the second-phase investment promotion meeting, the program team directly posted the combination of Wanshu Zu and Shen Weidi.

The number of additional brands reached 12, and this was after screening.

Brands that had previously held reservations due to "program type, market environment, brand strategy" suddenly changed their tune, becoming a free-for-all, with many trying to pull strings to squeeze in.

The producer suddenly became the "honorable producer."

Some product placements still needed to be communicated with the guests.

The in-show placement part was generally bought out directly in the guest's contract, but when Shen Weidi participated in variety shows, the advertisements were generally in the form of a revenue share.

The way the product was exposed, the degree of exposure, the form of the script... these needed to be discussed separately.

This was just the preliminary stage.

After the show aired and the popularity rose, there would only be more mid-term and late-term additional sponsorships.

Even though these two had gouged a considerable budget from the program team and interfered a lot... it was still worth it!

The news of course also reached Li Yamin's side.

He called Gu An to confirm his schedule.

Gu An was busy, and it was his assistant who answered the phone.

The assistant had been living too comfortably recently.

Li Yamin wasn't causing trouble, and Shen Weidi was also behaving himself.

His nerves had relaxed, and he blurted out: “Gu Brother is with Wanshu Brother and Shen Brother, shooting promotional materials.”

Only after he said it did he realize something was wrong.

Why did it sound like the three of them had formed a small clique, excluding Li Yamin.

The assistant broke out in a cold sweat and desperately tried to salvage the situation.

Li Yamin: “I'll be back before the New Year. Get the schedule from Gu An and book my flight ticket in advance.”

The official promotion for "Two People Traveling Together" was scheduled for about the seventh week after filming began, but leaked photos soon appeared online in advance.

A major fan of Shen Weidi released the promotional photo——his and Wanshu Zu's promotional photo.

Shen Weidi's fans were extremely combative.

Three hours after the promotional photo was leaked, the retweets, comments, and clicks began to explode.

【Screaming, continuously screaming, crazily screaming——】

The promotion team understood Shen Weidi's fan base demographic very well, and also knew how the film and television projects he participated in were perceived by passersby, so they simply let him "rediscover" his original intention.

In the promotional photo, Shen Weidi was dressed just as he was when he debuted from the stage with a landslide victory.

In a sea of fluorescent light, the spotlight hit his face, his sweat and unrestrained smile were both incomparably brilliant.

No one could refute that rare bit of sincerity that Shen Weidi revealed at this moment.

Wanshu Zu was actually only in the deliberately dimmed background, dressed in a suit, expressionless, watching his back from a distance.

Li Yamin knew very well that Wanshu Zu did not participate in Shen Weidi's debut that time.

Gu An followed the whole process and only told him about the situation afterwards.

At that time, Li Yamin was already on a new film set and needed Wanshu Zu to be with him——he was looking at his own back.

***

“Sigh.”

Big Mango couldn't stop sighing.

Long Aotian Little Chicken sneered: “What, now you finally feel it, knowing that a failed Long Aotian has it bad!”

Big Mango shook his head: “No.”

“As Li Yamin, I am now full of regret, remorse, and complex feelings, but I have to say... our teacher is so handsome.”

He stared at the picture, zooming in and in, and said, “Our teacher is so handsome, I have to find a way to see him again——sigh.”

He sighed again: “But you're not wrong, I do feel it. How should I put it, I want to find a chance to have teacher scold me again.”

“But I am now the clear-headed Li Yamin, sigh.”

Long Aotian Little Chicken: “...”
