Chapter 225： counterattack

"Book Club" was broadcast earlier than "Journey".

On the day it was broadcast, Lu Yanhe didn’t even know there was such a program.

Yan Liang sent a few screenshots to the group and asked Lu Yanhe: Lao Lu, do you have any issues with this writer named Yu Jiang?

Lu Yanhe looked confused. When he saw what Yu Jiang said, he said: No, I don’t even know who she is.

Yan Liang: It feels like she is targeting you.

Li Zhibai: This person’s face looks a bit mean.

Yan Liang: When will you be able to read faces again?

Lu Yanhe: Am I being shot innocently, or am I being targeted?

Yan Liang: I don’t know. Compared to you, more people who have opinions now are fans of idol artists who have acted in dramas adapted from her novels.

Li Zhibai: Huh?

Yan Liang: Several of Yu Jiang’s books have been adapted into film and television dramas, and many of the actors are idol artists. When she said this, many fans felt that their idols were being shot down, especially fans of some very popular people. Now She was scolding Yu Jiang on social media.

Li Zhibai: I just searched and found that most of the film and television dramas adapted from her novels are performed by idol artists, and they are all popular idols.

Yan Liang: Yes, so everyone has a lot of opinions.

-

The direction of things and the focus of public opinion have become like this, which the Book Club did not expect.

At the beginning, everyone's assumption was that Lu Yanhe's fans would cause trouble, but now that's not the case at all.

Lu Yanhe’s fans are only a small minority expressing their dissatisfaction with the show and Yu Jiang. The most dissatisfied are actually the fans of idols who have collaborated with Yu Jiang.

When the "Book Club" program team met together, screenwriter Zheng Huai complained directly about this incident: Now, everyone's attention is on Yu Jiang and they are attacking Yu Jiang. Now it is all negative news.

Yujiang is now being besieged by almost the entire Internet—of course she has fans, but compared to the fans of idol artists, they are a drop in the bucket. In this case, Yu Jiang's personal homepage was almost completely destroyed.

Yu Jiang himself was dumbfounded.

Her original intention was just to diss Lu Yanhe? Why did it suddenly become like this?

Yu Jiang herself didn’t realize that what she said had shocked a large number of people.

She had to call several idol artists she had worked with to explain the matter and ask them to speak for her, but no one was willing to stand up and speak for her.

“Teacher Yu, I’m just a small idol artist, and it’s useless to talk.”

“Teacher Yu, what should I say? Isn’t it what you said that idol artists don’t have acting skills and are not suitable for acting?”

…

No one among the artists she had worked with was willing to speak for her!

Yujiang stood in the living room of his home in disbelief. For a moment, it was like a forest suddenly invaded by the north wind, suddenly covered with frost. Not only his expression, but also his movements seemed to be frozen.

Why is this happening?

-

Zheng Huai went to a restaurant near the company and ordered a chicken cutlet rice for himself. He looked around to make sure there was no one he knew, and then he made a call.

"It's been a long time since I've seen your methods, and you're still so resolute." Zheng Huai said with a smile, "If you don't take action, you will be amazed when you do it. Now the conflict suddenly shifted, and Xiao Lu was picked out directly."

Chen Ziyan's voice rang from the other end of the phone: "I'd like to thank you for giving me a message in advance and letting me make preparations in advance. That Xu Bandian is obsessed with treachery and wants to trip up Xiao Lu. How can he be so What about cheap?”

Zheng Huai smiled and said, "It looks like he is a narrow-minded person."

Chen Ziyan: "Anyway, thank you very much this time. I will remember this."

"You're welcome, you helped me a lot back then." Zheng Huai said, "On the contrary, let's look back at the program "Book Club". We need to have a suitable theme and invite Xiao Lu to play with us."

"Forget it. You aired Yu Jiang's complaints about Xiao Lu in the first episode. Although we have shifted the focus of public opinion so that the controversy does not fall on Xiao Lu, but letting him appear on your show again will not be a problem again. Will it cause new controversy?”

"That's right. If there are other suitable programs, let's talk about it." Zheng Huai said.

“Next time you become the director yourself, I will ask all my artists to appear on your show.”

“Okay.” Zheng Huai smiled and nodded.

-

Why is the trend of this matter different from what he imagined?

Xu Handian was full of doubts.

Inexplicably, it turned into a conflict between other idol artists and Yu Jiang, and Lu Yanhe was picked out instead.

Xu Handian doesn’t believe in chance. He knew that there must be promoters behind this incident controlling the direction of public opinion.

Otherwise, this matter should not be ignored by Lu Yanhe, who is the one who bears the brunt of the discussion.

Just as he was wondering, Xu Handian's cell phone suddenly buzzed and vibrated.

“Old Xu, someone is picking on you online.” A colleague from Beijing and Taiwan said in disbelief.

“Pick me up?” When Xu Handian heard his colleague say this, he felt even more puzzled, “Why are you picking me up?”

“See for yourself.”

Colleague hung up the phone and sent a link.

Xu Bandian clicked on it and found that the link was actually a forum post.

The title of the post is "Who is Xu Handian, the deputy director who appears in major variety shows?" 》

The article is very long. It first lists the production staff of seven or eight variety shows, all of which Xu Handian has participated in. His name is marked with a red frame on the picture.

After listing, I wonder why Xu Handian can participate in so many program productions at such a young age and serve as assistant director in all of them.

There was also a photo of Xu Handian at the back, I don’t know where it was taken from.

Xu Handian became a little nervous when he saw this. He was instinctively worried that someone would accuse him of relying on his father's connections to get through the back door.

This is also true.

However, when he saw the back, Xu Handian suddenly wished it was something like this.

Unfortunately not.

The article suddenly changed direction and returned to the programs he had participated in, pointing out the fact that among the programs produced by Xu Handian, a female artist named Xu Xiaowen appeared in four of them.

Xu Bandian's expression changed when he saw the words Xu Xiaowen.

Because Xu Xiaowen was his ex-girlfriend, she talked with him for a while and later broke up.

This matter has never been made public. On the one hand, Xu Bandian himself did not want to make it public, and on the other hand, it was also because Xu Xiaowen was a female idol before and was not suitable for dating.

Unexpectedly, it has been a while since we broke up, and now we are suddenly exposed.

The last part of the article is that Xu Bandian once fell in love with Xu Xiaowen, and the two took advantage of their work and fell in love with each other.

Xu Handian’s face turned dark after reading this explosive post.

There was only one voice left in his heart: Oh no.

-

“This article written by Li Zhibai is very good. Are you really not going to put it in the book?” Xu Mingyue asked.

Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi looked at each other and said, "This article is a bit sensitive to be published now, so I'd better take it down and forget it."

I don’t know if Mengli will really do anything.

Xu Mingyue crossed out Li Zhibai’s article with some regret.

“The total word count of the manuscripts we have received now is 90,000 words. We are going to publish a theme book, but the word count is actually relatively small.” She said, “How many manuscripts are there yet to be submitted?”

Lu Yanhe said: "There is only one Jiang Yuqian left who has not given me a manuscript, so should we make appointments for a few more manuscripts? If the number of words is not enough."

“It would be better to get more manuscripts,” Xu Mingyue said. “Otherwise, the volume of this book is only so large, and pricing is difficult. If you set the price too low, you will easily lose money. If you set the price too high, readers will find it uneconomical. "

“Then let’s look for some more manuscripts.” Lu Yanhe said.

Xu Mingyue nodded, "Actually, I don't think it's limited to those already famous writers or celebrities. If there are well-written manuscripts, just like the manuscripts written by this new author named Bai Yu, they can be used as well."

“She is my classmate. I knew she was writing novels, so I made an appointment with her. Apart from her, I don’t know anyone else who writes well.”

Xu Mingyue said: "How about asking Liu Jiazhen and Mingyin? They are both well-known writers and have their own writing circles. Maybe they know some people who are willing to write manuscripts for this book."

Lu Yanhe's eyes lit up, "That's okay. I'll contact them right away and ask them for help."

Xu Mingyue took out a stack of manuscripts from her bag and said: "I have reviewed these manuscripts, and there are some revisions. Do you think you should communicate with them, or you should give me the contact information of these authors, and I will contact them. communicate."

Chen Siqi thought for a while and said, "You are the only professional among us. Would it be smoother for you to communicate with them directly?"

Lu Yanhe said: "I will communicate the artist's manuscript, and you can give me the manuscript."

Xu Mingyue nodded: "I have directly marked some basic text problems on it. If they don't mind, I can directly correct it for them. However, there are some places where I think the content needs to be modified and adjusted. I will There are comments written in the blank space next to it. You can take a look at it first and forget it if it’s not suitable.”

"Um."

After the three people finished discussing "Jump Up", Xu Mingyue had to go back to Jiangyin Publishing House.

Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi stayed in the cafe together and read the manuscript together.

After a while, Xin Zixing came over.

She also brought a very young girl with her.

Xin Zixing introduced that this person is the art editor of Yemai.com, and his working name is Yilong.

“The layout design of the electronic version of this book can be left to her.”

Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi immediately stood up to greet Yilong.

Yilong looked like a very introverted and simple girl. She greeted Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi shyly. After getting to know each other, she took out a few printouts of the layouts she had designed and handed them to them.

“This is a design I’ve done before. Take a look and see what style you want.”

Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi took it into their hands.

Xin Zixing said: "I have a meeting later, you guys talk first, I'm leaving first, come on."

Xin Zixing came and went like a storm.

Yilong’s design style made Chen Siqi’s eyes shine.

Her works are basically simple, generous and linear, which coincides with Chen Siqi's ideas.

In Chen Siqi's imagination, "Jump Up" is such a book.

It is not the kind of complicated, gorgeous or too simple, nor is it the kind of public account-style design.

Chen Siqi asked Yilong: "Yilong, are you cooperating with Yemai.com for a long time?"

Yilong smiled softly and said, "Yes, I have been responsible for the layout design of e-reading before, and I will also be responsible for some other web page art designs."

  Chen Siqi: "I really like your design style."   Yilong: "Thank you."

The design of the physical book was originally handed over to Jiangyin Publishing House, but Chen Siqi was not particularly satisfied with the typesetter assigned by Jiangyin.

In comparison, Chen Siqi fell in love with Yilong’s design style at first sight.

Aesthetics is a matter of just one glance.

They sat together and talked about what kind of book "Jump Up" should be made into. As they chatted, they talked about the time when everyone used to read magazines .

In the evening, Lu Yanhe’s cell phone suddenly rang.

“Sister Ziyan?” Lu Yanhe answered the phone.

“What are you doing?” Chen Ziyan asked.

Lu Yanhe said: "I was talking about "Jump Up" with Siqi. Today, Sister Zi Xing brought a designer."

 Chen Ziyan originally called to tell Lu Yanhe about Xu Handian, but when she heard Lu Yanhe's energetic voice, she decided not to say anything.

She didn't want to use this kind of thing to affect Lu Yanhe's mood - Xu Handian's matter was arranged by her. Chen Ziyan originally wanted to tell Lu Yanhe and let Lu Yanhe vent his anger. Xu Handian was too disgusting before, but Chen Ziyan gave Lu Yanhe this Only after calling him did he realize that Lu Yanhe actually didn't take Xu Handian's affairs too seriously.

He has things that he cares about and values.

People like Xu Handian will only become a disturbance.

-

At night, someone called Chen Ziyan.

The caller is a friend from Beijing and Taiwan.

 Chen Ziyan guessed the person's possible intentions when she saw the phone.

As soon as she said it, it turned out that it was indeed the middleman Xu Bandian invited to meet her.

Now I know it’s urgent.

Chen Ziyan listened expressionlessly and said, "I have something to do tonight and I don't have time."

"Oh, Zi Yan, please give me some face. Now Xiao Xu is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He also knows that he is wrong. You have a lot of money, give him a chance."

"The opportunity has been given to me a long time ago, but he doesn't cherish it himself." Chen Ziyan said, "When he first came to apologize, I accepted it. But what did he do? He was causing trouble behind his back again. Don't let him take the blame. Lobbyist."

Xu Handian has not been on the hot search list yet.

Xu Xiaowen is not particularly popular, and this incident did not attract much attention.

But just the amount of attention in front of him has already made Xu Bandian feel dizzy.

 Xu Handian’s cell phone has been ringing all the time, and it never stops ringing. They are all asking about this matter.

The most important thing is that Xu Xiaowen also called.

Since the two of them broke up, they have never been in contact, but now they are in contact because of this incident.

Xu Xiaowen asked Xu Bandian whether he had let the matter slip and leaked the news.

Xu Bandian immediately denied it.

He didn't know how Chen Ziyan dug out this matter, but it was definitely not his fault.

Xu Bandian said: "I haven't asked you yet, did you leak the news about this matter?"

Xu Xiaowen said angrily: "I am a female star, will I leak the news and let others know that I have been in love with you?"

Xu Handian was aroused by this sentence and said angrily: "Have you ever been in love with me and I have embarrassed you?"

"I never said that, don't blindly put your hat on me. You clearly know that if it is exposed that I have been in love with someone, I will lose a lot of fans!" Xu Xiaowen said, "Xu Handian, I will find someone to inquire. After a while, this matter is not for me, it is for you. It is you who let our matter be exposed. You should quickly find a way to solve it yourself! We have broken up, so don’t do it to me anymore! Trouble!"

Xu Bandian was so angry that his chest was heaving.

"Okay, don't worry, I will deny this right away."

Xu Xiaowen: “If denial was useful, I would have denied it long ago.”

“It’s just a breaking news post, why is it useless to deny it?”

“Who knows if the person who broke the news has any evidence?!” Xu Xiaowen said, “Rather than denying it and then being slapped in the face, it’s better to admit it now.”

Xu Handian: “Your fans are now scolding me on various online platforms.”

“There are only a lot more people who scold me than you.” Xu Xiaowen said coldly.

-

 Xu Xiaowen was a female idol before. For fans, when an idol artist falls in love, it is like their own house has collapsed.

Everyone knows that the loyal relationship between idols and fans is just an illusion, but from the perspective of fans, this is the promise given to them by idols.

This incident had a great impact on Li Zhibai.

He couldn’t imagine what kind of storm he would face when Meng Li actually exposed the love letter online.

At this point, Li Zhibai also realized that what he had done was indeed unethical.

He sent a message to Zhou Ping'an and asked: What did Mengli say? Brother Ping An.

Zhou Ping'an: You have the nerve to ask. It's such a big trouble and it's being solved. Don't bother me.

Li Zhibai: Oh.

Zhou Ping'an: Mengli is a crazy woman. You should avoid her in the future and don't have any interaction with her.

Li Zhibai: Then you asked me to act in the drama "Along with You to the End of the World", aren't you pushing me into a pit of fire?

Zhou Pingan: Because this character is popular, do you think this character is popular?

Li Zhibai hissed, "Oh, let this guy show up."

-

Li Zhibai's role in "With You to the End of the World" is indeed popular.

The character of the irascible rich second generation is particularly dramatic. Coupled with Li Zhibai's own popularity, many clips in the play have become popular and popular online, especially on some short video platforms. Li Zhibai's performance clips are all There are tens of millions of views.

This made Li Zhibai almost always on the hot search list in August.

The number of businesses coming to Li Zhibai for cooperation has increased significantly.

He is very busy now - of course, he is happy to be busy now so that he does not have to worry about being blocked by Mengli.

He was trapped in a psychological shadow.

Lu Yanhe told him that he was not going to publish "Don't be timid when it's time to confess!" "At the time of writing this article, Li Zhibai had just finished recording a program and was on his way to the next announcement.

He thought it was because Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi didn't like the content of the article, so he muttered: "You guys are too boring, right?" Wasn't it just that you used it as a prototype?

Lu Yanhe: It has nothing to do with us. It’s because we are considering the matter between you and Mengli. We don’t know what Mengli will do. If this article is published, you will be the target of discussion.

It suddenly dawned on Li Zhibai that he was thinking about his own affairs.

Li Zhibai: This is really a trouble. Then your book doesn’t have any articles written by me?

Lu Yanhe: Well, that’s all.

Li Zhibai read the news about Lu Yanhe and fell into deep thought.

He is just lazy, but not stupid. He knows that his name is of great significance to Lu Yanhe's book.

This is Lu Yanhe's first book. The performance of the first book determines whether the subsequent books can be continued.

Li Zhibai looked at the city scenery flowing outside the car window and thought, why not write another article?

What to write?

Li Zhibai is worried.

What could he write about during his student days?

-

“Li Zhibai’s manuscript cannot be published, what should I do?” Lu Yanhe asked Chen Siqi.

Chen Siqi said: "Then we need to find someone with a comparable level to write it. Now Jiang Yuqian's manuscript has not come over, Li Zhibai's manuscript cannot be published, and the two most popular stars are not available. I feel that we are suspected of fraud." ”

Lu Yanhe couldn’t laugh or cry.

He thought for a while and said, "How about I try to make an appointment with Huang Kairen?"

When we were filming "The Golden Age" with him, Lu Yanhe felt that his relationship with Huang Kairen was pretty good.

Chen Siqi said: "It would be great if you could ask Huang Kairen to help you write this manuscript."

Lu Yanhe didn’t write about Huang Kairen before because he didn’t think he was very familiar with it.

Now I can only bite the bullet and make an appointment.

What Lu Yanhe didn’t expect was that Huang Kairen agreed immediately.

"OK."

Lu Yanhe was surprised.

Even Chen Siqi was shocked. He didn't expect Huang Kairen to agree directly.

-

That night, Huang Kairen and Xin Zixing finished their work sweating profusely. Xin Zixing got out of bed and went to the bathroom. Huang Kairen continued to lie on the bed alone, with one hand on his arm and said: "Today Lu Yanhe has an appointment. I’ve written a manuscript.”

“I’m asking you on a date?” Xin Zixing’s surprised voice came from the bathroom.

"Yeah." Huang Kairen said, "I agreed immediately."

"ah?"

“This is the book you are responsible for, so I agreed.” Huang Kairen said, “What do I want to write?”

Xin Zixing: "How do I know? You think about it yourself."

Huang Kairen looked at the figure revealed through the frosted glass. Even though it was just a shadow, he could still see the graceful figure.

Those things in his mind gradually blurred again, leaving only the person in front of him.

“Baby.” Huang Kairen shouted.

Xin Zixing paused for a moment, "What are you doing?"

Huang Kairen said: "Why don't you wash it later?"

Xin Zixing: "You have to get up at five o'clock tomorrow morning to catch the plane."

"Okay, there's enough time." Huang Kairen bit his lip lightly, "Otherwise, we won't be able to see each other for the next week." (End of Chapter)
