The crew that Xie Chengze arranged for Lu Yanzhou this time was a comedy online drama, in which Lu Yanzhou played the second male lead. As for Zhen Shuai, he played the fourth male lead in the drama.
Sister Wang is very satisfied with the crew: “Although this drama is an online drama, it is also one of the platform’s main dramas this year. The investment is very high. Mr. Xie spent a lot of effort to help you get the role…”
“We have to go right away?” Lu Yanzhou asked.
Sister Wang answered: “Yes, all the preparations for the crew have been completed. You’d better go there right away…”
Lu Yanzhou interrupted Sister Wang: “Did Mr. Xie arrange for us to go there long ago? Why did he just inform us now?”
Sister Wang said, “Mr. Xie said he wanted to give you a surprise.”
“Can I not participate in the show?” Lu Yanzhou asked.
“Why? In order to get you this role, Mr. Xie invested a lot of money in the crew and urged them to start filming quickly…” said Sister Wang.
Lu Yanzhou’s face turned dark.
Sister Wang finally realized something was wrong.
Lu Yanzhou looked at Sister Wang with a firm look on his face: “Sister Wang, I want to see Mr. Xie!” Although the company had arranged for him to go filming, the contract he signed with the company was not a slave contract. If he insisted on refusing to sign with the crew, the company can’t force him to film either.
Xie Chengze has invested in this online drama, so he is willing to film it, but before filming, he must ask Xie Chengze for an explanation.
Sister Wang said: “I’ll ask President Xie.”
Sister Wang was actually a little confused about the current situation.
Mr. Xie would contact her every day to learn about Lu Yanzhou’s situation and find such good resources for Lu Yanzhou.
Lu Yanzhou and Mr. Xie also chat every day and video chat from time to time.
Under such circumstances…Why did Mr. Xie urge Lu Yanzhou to join the crew when he could have joined the crew a few days later? He also refused to see Lu Yanzhou too…
The place where they were filming now was only a few hours drive from the company. She had thought that Mr. Xie would come to visit the crew from time to time, but it turned out that Mr. Xie came once and stopped coming…
Sister Wang contacted Xie Chengze. After that, she said to Lu Yanzhou: “Let’s go back to the company first. Mr. Xie is waiting for you at the company.”
Lu Yanzhou then smiled: “Okay.”
Xie Chengze was indeed waiting for Lu Yanzhou in the company.
After receiving Sister Wang’s call, he sent a message to Lu Yanzhou, but Lu Yanzhou did not reply to him. He knew that Lu Yanzhou was angry.
How to comfort an angry boyfriend?
Xie Chengze thought for a moment and soon smiled bitterly.
He has accepted Lu Yanzhou’s confession, but he doesn’t dare to really consider himself Lu Yanzhou’s boyfriend.
Lu Yanzhou most likely still hated him and was only with him for resources.
But…he had already given Lu Yanzhou resources, so why did Lu Yanzhou still have to see him?
He really didn’t want to see Lu Yanzhou, which would wake him up from his sweet dream and fall into reality instantly.
However, he couldn’t help it.
Xie Chengze began to think of reasons that could convince Lu Yanzhou.
At the same time, Lu Yanzhou was also wondering why Xie Chengze did this.
After much thought, he felt that the crux of the problem still lay with Xie Chengze’s parents.
He used his computer skills to secretly check Xie Chengze’s parents.
Father Xie and mother Xie in this world are very kind to Xie Chengze, but at their age…they would definitely want Xie Chengze to get married and have children.
If they treat Xie Chengze badly, Xie Chengze will surely ignore their requests, but since they treat Xie Chengze well…It’s really difficult for Xie Chengze to be with a man.
But Xie Chengze should have made some efforts.
Thinking that father Xie and mother Xie had paid attention to him and bought things in his live stream room, the three members of the Xie family bought three copies of the same thing…Lu Yanzhou suddenly stopped being angry.
His AZe likes him so much. He watches his every live stream and buys everything…Why is he so angry!
When Lu Yanzhou came to the company and entered Xie Chengze’s office, he was no longer angry, but he still looked aggrieved: “AZe, why are you avoiding me?”
Xie Chengze almost stopped breathing, with such strong disgust, it really crushed him.
He was hiding from Lu Yanzhou, but it was clear that Lu Yanzhou also didn’t want to see him.
Xie Chengze wanted to clarify all this and question Lu Yanzhou, but if he were to really do this…Lu Yanzhou would definitely not want to date him even online anymore.
As long as he didn’t see Lu Yanzhou and just dated Lu Yanzhou online, he would be really happy and like him very much.
Xie Chengze was hesitant so he was silent. Seeing that he was in trouble, Lu Yanzhou asked: “AZe, is it because your parents don’t agree?”
Xie Chengze did not expect that Lu Yanzhou had already thought of a reason for him, and immediately said: “Yes…”
In fact, because he has the ability to sense feeling, he doesn’t like to have close contact with people. He also knows that in his situation, there is a high probability that he will never find a lover in his life…He has long told his parents that he will be a celibate.
Of course his parents didn’t agree, but he insisted, and after so many years, his parents had more or less discovered his abnormality…
Just two years ago, his parents had accepted that he would never get married.
“AZe, we can face it together, and if we meet in private, your parents won’t know…” Lu Yanzhou really doesn’t mind having an underground relationship with Xie Chengze at all.
Lu Yanzhou looked sincere, but malice surged from his heart. Xie Chengze closed his eyes and said, “I’m afraid if I meet you too much, we can’t bear it…I still need time to convince my parents.”
Xie Chengze was afraid that they wouldn’t be able to bear it? Can’t bear it?
Lu Yanzhou felt a little embarrassed when he heard this.
But if one thinks about it carefully, he and Xie Chengze are both young and full of energy. Xie Chengze is afraid that the two of them will be unable to bear it if they stay together, so it’s normal for something to happen then.
But if that were to happen, there would definitely be traces.
Lu Yanzhou didn’t say anything, but Xie Chengze became more relaxed because he had found a reason: “Yanzhou, let’s take our time for this relationship…First, I haven’t convinced my parents yet, and second, you are still young. You’re only twenty, I’m afraid you will regret it.”
“I won’t regret it.”
Xie Chengze smiled: “At your age, you should develop your career first. Although we are far away from each other, you can still talk with me every day. If we meet…If you miss the golden period of your career development in these few years, will you really not regret it?”
After hearing what Xie Chengze said, Lu Yanzhou finally understood why Xie Chengze didn’t want to see him.
It’s not just a problem with Xie Chengze’s parents, it’s also for his own good.
If he is really a twenty-year-old young man…it will not be good for him to delay his career because he is having dates with his boss.
Xie Chengze really thinks about him in everything.
Lu Yanzhou said: “AZe, I won’t regret it, but I understand what you mean, and I will develop my career well.”
“That’s good. When your career develops well, it will be easier to convince my parents,” Xie Chengze smiled. “There are still differences between a little internet celebrity and a famous celebrity.”
“I will work hard…But AZe, since we’re boyfriends, shouldn’t you give me some benefits?”
“Benefits?”
Lu Yanzhou put his hands on the table and approached Xie Chengze who was sitting behind the table, and the corners of his mouth curled up: “Yes! For example, kiss me.”
Lu Yanzhou smiled so seductively that Xie Chengze couldn’t help it and leaned over to kiss him, not wanting to be hugged by Lu Yanzhou.
Across the table, the two deepened the kiss.
Kissing the person he likes is a wonderful thing, but the person he likes in front of him hates him so much.
Xie Chengze’s mood switched back and forth between heaven and hell, so his body couldn’t help but tremble.
Lu Yanzhou let go of Xie Chengze, a little surprise.
Isn’t Xie Chengze…a little too sensitive in this world?
He just kissed Xie Chengze, and Xie Chengze couldn’t stand still!
No wonder Xie Chengze is worried about ‘not being able to bear it’!
And this…did Black Tortoise do something to Xie Chengze?
Seeing Xie Chengze like this, Lu Yanzhou didn’t dare to continue, and decided to wait until he had accumulated enough merit to help Xie Chengze solve his problems before thinking about anything else.
And if he wants to accumulate merit, he needs to make more money.
Lu Yanzhou didn’t want to be an internet celebrity at first, but now…it seems like he can only be one?
Internet celebrities can make money very quickly, not to mention that he has Xie Chengze’s unwavering support!
“AZe, wait for me to come back.” Lu Yanzhou kissed Xie Chengze’s face again.
“Okay.” Replied Xie Chengze.
“I will be busy with my career, but don’t avoid me…”
Xie Chengze said: “I will video chat with you every day.”
Lu Yanzhou laughed when he heard this: “Then it’s settled!”
Xie Chengze spent a lot of money to pave the way for him, so he must seize the opportunity…Lu Yanzhou and Zhen Shuai followed Sister Wang and rushed to the online drama crew without stopping.
After talking to Xie Chengze, he was able to accept being separated from Xie Chengze.
Especially since this is modern society, with mobile phones!
He can definitely video chat with Xie Chengze every day.
Lu Yanzhou calmed down and accepted the fact of filming far away in another city from Xie Chengze.
On the plane, he even took out his notebook and wrote several short video scripts for himself.
The short video is very short, so it doesn’t matter if it’s shot in a routine. Just like Zhen Shuai, he goes back and forth in a routine and attracts tens of millions of fans.
But to be impressive, he still needs to be unique.
Lu Yanzhou thinks that his specialty is that he is good at calligraphy and painting. During his previous live broadcast, he had already tried to draw with ink while shouting for people to buy things. When shooting short videos, he could also try dancing and twirling paint at the same time?
Ahem, he has seen people do this in some TV series.
When Lu Yanzhou made up his mind to develop his career as an internet celebrity, he didn’t know that someone was already publishing negative information about him online.
As soon as Lu Yanzhou’s plane landed…the person in charge of monitoring online public opinion in Ze’an contacted Sister Wang.
Sister Wang checked the internet and found that many people online were scolding Lu Yanzhou, saying that Lu Yanzhou was selling fake goods in the live broadcast room and harming consumers.
Someone else complained to Lu Yanzhou and wanted an explanation from him.
The information these people broke was not from the past few months, but the dark history before Lu Yanzhou signed with Ze’an.
Ze’an is aware of this dark history.
When Lu Yanzhou signed a contract with that small company, according to the requirements of that small company, he did sell a lot of low-quality things.
A non-stick frying pan that costs 20 yuan, eight pairs of socks that cost 10 yuan, a hundred rubber bands that cost 10 yuan, all kinds of cheap off-brand food…there’s all kinds of things.
The quality of things with such a low price is naturally not very good. For example, those socks, the white ones are fine, but the black ones fade as soon as one wears them!
However, just because the goods are so cheap, many people will not return them even if they find that the quality is very poor after buying them. They just throw them away without causing trouble to Lu Yanzhou.
Ze’an had studied this matter at that time and felt that it was not a big problem. He also felt that there were no special circumstances and no one should make trouble.
But now…maybe Lu Yanzhou became famous too quickly, so someone started to make trouble.
After understanding the situation, Sister Wang said, “Yanzhou, it seems that you are blocking the way of some people, so they are messing with you.”
“I know,” said Lu Yanzhou.
It was indeed wrong for the original owner to deceive people by selling random things, but because those things were so cheap, no one ever bothered him.
Some consumers who don’t care much about quality still wear faded socks and think the products he sells are quite good.
It’s been nearly half a year since he sold these messy things, but they never chase him or scold him.
Thus, there is a high probability that someone is targeting him.
“Have you thought about how to respond to this matter?” Sister Wang asked Lu Yanzhou.
Lu Yanzhou said: “A sincere apology. Sister Wang, if you release my donation record, just say that I have always felt guilty, so after I joined the new company, I donated all the money I earned. In addition, people who bought poor quality goods in my live stream before, as long as they provide screenshots of their order, I will compensate them.”
In this situation, Lu Yanzhou still needs to respond.
The original owner did make a mistake before.
Sister Wang’s eyes lit up when she heard this: “I was wondering why you wanted to donate money at that time. It turns out you thought of this!”
In addition to selling low-quality goods, they also exposed the fact that Lu Yanzhou asked fans for money.
However, the latter has nothing to do with Lu Yanzhou at all. It was entirely done by Lu Yanzhou’s agent.
Lu Yanzhou gave a reply, clarifying everything, and also revealed the salary and live stream income he had donated in the past three months.
The total money he donated amounted to 400,000 to 500,000 yuan, so he didn’t earn much in total…thus, most people forgave him.
Of course, there are some people who don’t believe his clarification and chase him to scold. They don’t even scold him for selling fake goods, but for his plastic surgery, filming videos and adding filters. They also say that he is actually an ugly freak…
Lu Yanzhou didn’t care about those things.
He knows very well that it is impossible for everyone to like him. He has lived for many, many years and his mentality is also quite good.
Those who chased and scolded him were so irritable that they most likely would not be happy in reality.
Because he had prepared for this incident, Lu Yanzhou had a very relaxed time, and he was even satisfied with the ending — his number of fans increased again because of this incident, and the agent he disliked was also fired by Ze’an!
Lu Yanzhou is happily preparing for the filming of the new drama.
However, he didn’t feel happy for too long before he received a call from his parents. His parents came to him for no other reason than they wanted money from him.
After his parents were blocked by him, they also tried various ways to contact him. Lu Yanzhou always said that he had no money and mentioned the matter of severing relationship, so his parents stopped trying.
Lu Yanzhou could even feel that they were much more careful when talking to him.
But today, their attitude changed back to their original state: “Lu Yanzhou, you made so much money, why don’t you give it to your family? You donated all that money!”
Lu Yanzhou said, “Don’t you like to do good deeds? I learned it from you.”
“How do we like to do good things?”
“Yes, you are not doing a good deed, you are helping unrelated people to pay off their gambling debts! This is being a blood sucker!”
”You…what nonsense are you talking about!”
Lu Yanzhou said: “Don’t hide it from me, I already know it. Cousin owes gambling debts, and you are asking me for money just to pay off his debts…I am rich, and I am willing to help those in need, but to ask me to use my money to pay off gambling debts…Don’t even think about it!”
“Why are you so cold-blooded? He is your big brother!”
“You asked me to treat him as a big brother, but does he treat me as a younger brother?” Lu Yanzhou sneered.
The original owner’s parents both work. Although wages are low in their small village, the two of them can earn six to seven thousand a month combined. They still have houses and land in the countryside, and the food and vegetables they usually eat at home are also free of charge.
Under such circumstances, even if the original owner’s cousin and the original owner both need to go to school, it’s not impossible to afford it. At most, the school expenses for the two children will be tight.
Since long ago, when other people in the village went to college, they only asked for 1,500 yuan a month for living expenses because their families had little money. But when it came to the original owner’s cousin, he asked for 2,500 yuan a month for living expenses, and sometimes asked for money from his family for other reasons.
The original owner’s mother’s income of more than 3,000 yuan a month was only enough for his living expenses!
The original owner’s father had to pay for the family’s expenses and save for his tuition. Naturally, the original owner was stretched thin, so the original owner had no chance to go to college at all.
By the way, the original owner’s parents had been working for so many years, and his family had never had any major problems that cost money, so the family also had savings.
However, the original owner’s cousin has always used the excuse of high expenses for studying in the county to ask for money from the original owner’s parents. Before he went to college, he had already bought a good laptop, mobile phones, and tablets, so the original owner’s parents had no savings.
Lu Yanzhou felt that the original owner was really unlucky, and the original owner’s cousin was really disgusting.
Of course, he felt that the original owner’s parents should be responsible for all this.
It was the original owner’s parents who gave so much money to the original owner’s cousin but did not let the original owner go to school.
Thinking like this, Lu Yanzhou added: “Since you treat him as your own son and me as your picked one, don’t come looking for me!”
Lu Yanzhou blocked another number and sighed.
“Lu Yanzhou, what’s wrong with you?” Zhen Shuai asked.
Lu Yanzhou sighed: “My beloved concubine, I’m afraid I’m going to be scolded again…”
Zhen Shuai frowned: “What happened again?”
Lu Yanzhou said: “My parents asked me for money, but I didn’t give it to them. They will probably do something.”
Zhen Shuai knew Lu Yanzhou’s family situation and felt sorry for Lu Yanzhou: “What happened to your parents? Why are they treating you so badly?”
Zhen Shuai felt that Lu Yanzhou is too pitiful.
Lu Yanzhou is not only good-looking, but also versatile. Why do his parents treat him like a weed?
Lu Yanzhou smiled: “let’s not talk about them, let’s talk about something else…Are you familiar with the script?”
Zhen Shuai: “…No.” He is not familiar with it!
The script is too difficult to understand!
Zhen Shuai actually likes reading novels, but when he reads the script, he really just wants to sleep.
He had a small role in the last film, and the script was only a few pages long. It was written later by the screenwriter. After reading it, he acted according to it without any problems.
But this play…his character appears a lot.
Zhen Shuai is going bald after reading scripts these days!
“Come on, if there’s anything you don’t understand, I’ll tell you.” Lu Yanzhou said.
Lu Yanzhou initially contacted Zhen Shuai to gain traffic, but later on he got to know him more and found that he was a very nice person.
He is also willing to help Zhen Shuai.
Zhen Shuai is not only his partner in making short videos, but also the internet celebrity with the most fans in Xie Chengze’s company. Once developed, he can make a lot of money for Xie Chengze’s company!
When Lu Yanzhou told Zhen Shuai the script, he memorized it by the way.
Thus, when it came to acting…
The director was shocked: “Lu Yanzhou, you are the most dedicated actor I have ever seen. Not only did you memorize your own lines, you also memorized other people’s lines as well!”
What the screenwriters of their crew couldn’t do, Lu Yanzhou, a young man who looked like he probably didn’t have good acting skills, actually did it!
He really worked too hard!
The most important thing is that Lu Yanzhou’s acting skills are not bad.
This director, like the previous director, felt that he had found a treasure.
The style of their online drama is based on comedy, and the character played by Lu Yanzhou is a gentleman in front of people, but a person with many bad habits behind people.
For example, he just finished attending the literature meeting in the morning, and in the afternoon he went to the gambling house to gamble and let himself loose.
This requires actors to perform two completely different temperaments. It was difficult to perform, but Lu Yanzhou did it!
As for Zhen Shuai, he just needs to play his character as he is, which is not that difficult.
Lu Yanzhou quickly integrated into the crew as before.
And because Ze’an is one of the show’s financial backers, Lu Yanzhou also had the permission to borrow the equipment that the crew was not using for the time being to shoot short videos.
Lu Yanzhou had decided to become an internet celebrity, so he arranged a lot of work for himself and was very busy.
And at this time…as expected, someone came to scold him again.
Again, black material about him appeared on the Internet, saying that after he became famous, he ignored his parents, not to mention not giving them money, he even threatened to sever ties with them.
That night, Lu Yanzhou continued to live stream to sell goods.
It’s been cold recently, so he sells various thermal products. He wears a hat on his head and a scarf around his neck, and introduces them one by one with great dedication.
Suddenly some people rushed in: “Lu Yanzhou, aren’t you disgusting?”
“Now that you are famous, you don’t care about your parents in the countryside. It’s too much!”
“Previously when he was selling things of such poor quality, I knew he was not a good guy.”
“He is here to make money from us again, get out of here!”
“Don’t buy his stuff!”
…
These people rushed into the live broadcast room with anger, leaving the original audience stunned.
Lu Yanzhou was not surprised to see them, but felt that they had finally arrived.
There was no way the original owner’s parents could have made such a scene. After all, he had been refusing to give money for the past few months. Although the original owner’s parents were angry, they couldn’t do this kind of thing like guiding online public opinion.
The original owner’s cousin is different…He can’t wait for the money anymore!
Look, the original owner’s cousin is making a big fuss.
Lu Yanzhou looked at the various questions that were rapidly refreshing in the lower left corner of the screen, his eyes turned red, and tears suddenly fell.
The beautiful man shed tears. At this moment, many people watching the live stream felt distressed.
Xie Chengze, who took the time to watch the live stream, was the most distressed among them.
It’s not that Lu Yanzhou didn’t care about his parents at all. He had already given his parents a lot of money. It was obvious that it’s his parents who were greedy!
Is there something wrong with those people’s brains? Instead of scolding Lu Yanzhou’s parents, they scold Lu Yanzhou instead?
Xie Chengze immediately stood up and asked someone to help Lu Yanzhou. At this time, Lu Yanzhou also started to cry…
