168 You Guys Really Know How to Play!
The fireworks bloomed in the air, and the Golden Ferrari Pegasus also reflected the streams of light in the sky. It was simply incomparably gorgeous, making everyone intoxicated.
This was the magic of money!
This was the power of money!
Today, all the young masters present had seen what true heroism was!
Chen Duo even set up a banquet. Everyone drove here and could not drink alcohol. They could only use tea as wine. Even so, everyone came towards Chen Yun. As long as they were young masters or young ladies with status, they would come over and toast Chen Yun. The others also knew that with their status, they could not come into contact with such a person.
Therefore, they did not come over.
In one night, Chen Yun became completely famous among the young masters of Ling City with this Golden Ferrari Pegasus.
The next day, Chen Yun woke up and looked at the time. It was only seven o’clock.
Outside, someone knocked on the door.
Chen Yun opened it and a figure pounced over.
“Brother!”
“Are you here?”
Chen Yun patted Chen Mengmeng’s head, his face filled with love.
“Brother Yun.”
Han Xue spoke charmingly from the side.
“Where’s Sister Menghan?” Chen Yun took a look. Wang Menghan was actually not here. Wasn’t she going to film the advertisement for the First-Grade Restaurant today?
“We don’t know either. Sister Menghan discussed it with Sister Jingyi yesterday and asked the two of us to come over. Sister Menghan didn’t come.”
It was Zhou Jingyi’s decision.
Chen Yun thought for a moment. That was true. Although Wang Menghan was now famous all over the country with the four songs Chen Yun had given her back then, they had invited another popular celebrity this time. If Wang Menghan came and stole the limelight from these two girls, Zhou Jingyi’s original intention would be gone.
This was good too.
Chen Yun looked at the two of them. “Let’s go. Let’s prepare and go there.”
“Okay.”
An hour later, at the First-Grade Restaurant in Ling City, the venue had been cleaned up.
In the middle of the venue, there was a young man with dyed white hair and fashionable clothes. He also had fair and tender skin. He was surrounded by more than ten people.
These people surrounding him were busy with the young man in the middle. They were either tidying his hair, putting on makeup for him, fanning him, or putting on earrings for him. There were even two stylists tidying his clothes.
Furthermore, there were two female assistants kneeling on one knee to wipe the dust off his shoes.
This was despite the fact that the surface of his shoes was already very clean, and there was no need to wipe them anymore.
If a university girl were to look at the young man in front of her, she would definitely recognize him at first glance. This person was the recently rising celebrity, Qu Yikai!
Qu Yikai became famous overnight because of talent variety shows. Half a year ago, at the end of the year, he had even appeared on the Spring Festival Gala on local television stations and the New Year’s Eve gala on short video websites. In addition, he had received offers for a few good variety shows and was supported by the company behind him. He could be said to be very popular now.
He was extremely popular. It could be said that almost all the female students knew him. Even if they had never seen his face, they must have heard of his name.
At this moment, he looked at his surroundings, then at his shoes. He said to the two female assistants, “The two of you, wipe them properly. How unlucky. I wonder what Sister Na is up to. She actually made me come to such a place to film an advertisement. She simply doesn’t take me seriously.”
Although he said that, he had some considerations in his heart. After all, he had heard that he was collaborating with Wang Menghan to film an advertisement this time. Everyone knew Wang Menghan. Now, the popular people on the Internet also had to be divided into tiers.
In the first tier were Liu Xin and Wang Menghan. One of them had obtained the title of the God of Luck on the Internet. Just the number of hardcore fans that made up the God of Luck Family Army alone numbered in the tens of millions. As for Wang Menghan, there was no need to mention her. A month ago, she had relied on four songs to become popular on the Internet and became a new star after Liu Xin.
As for him and some other popular celebrities, they were in the second tier or even further back. After all, they did not have any unyielding skills, unlike Liu Xin, who was so lucky, and Wang Menghan, who had such singing and lyric-writing skills.
These people relied on their looks and marketing.
They also relied on the support of the company and spent money to get on various rankings.
However, as long as they could become popular, who cared how they became popular?
Even though he did not have any hard skills, he still had many die-hard fans.
This time, he also planned to ride on Wang Menghan’s popularity and improve himself. If he could take the opportunity to get Wang Menghan or have some scandals, his popularity would increase.
Qu Yikai calculated in his heart. In the next moment, he immediately felt pain. He suddenly turned to look at the hairstylist standing at the side. “What are you doing?! Do you know how to work?!”
“Who do you think you are? How can you become a hairstylist? Get lost, get lost.”
The hairstylist standing behind Qu Yikai had an ugly expression. Her face was full of awkwardness.
Her hands, which were holding the hairdryer and hair gel respectively, froze in the air, not knowing how to move.
Then, a woman in high heels slowly walked in beside him. Then, she looked at Qu Yikai. “Yikai.”
“Sister Na.” Qu Yikai did not dare to be arrogant towards his manager, Zhang Na. He immediately nodded at her. After all, Zhang Na had supported him single-handedly.
Then, he looked at Zhang Na. “Sister Na, what kind of place is this? Why did you find such a place for me to film an advertisement?”
Upon hearing his complaint, Zhang Na immediately snorted coldly.
“Be content. We were supposed to go to the First-Grade Restaurant in Jiang City to film. Didn’t you say that you didn’t want to go over and that the production team could only come over? What else do you want? The other party has already made a huge concession.”
When Qu Yikai heard this, his eyes were filled with disdain.
Who was he? He was a popular celebrity now. The other party should do this!
Then, a middle-aged man came over. “Sister Na, is Yikai not ready yet?”
“Over there, our director has been waiting for you for almost 20 minutes. You really can’t dawdle any longer.”
“What are you talking about?!”
Qu Yikai looked at the middle-aged man and sneered. “What kind of attitude is this? Do you know who I am?!”
With that, he crossed his arms, turned his face sideways, and sat down.
The middle-aged man wilted on the spot and stood there petrified. He could not leave or stay. He was only the assistant director of this advertisement and did not have much power. He could not afford to offend a popular celebrity like Qu Yikai.
Helpless, he could only look at Qu Yikai’s manager, Zhang Na.
As an experienced manager who had been in the entertainment industry for so many years, Zhang Na naturally had a way to deal with such a situation.
She looked at the middle-aged man. Although he was only an assistant director and did not have much power, what was behind him? It was Sacred Heaven Entertainment!
Sacred Heaven Entertainment had soared to become one of the top entertainment companies in China in a short period of time!
Therefore, she had to deal with the other party carefully. She could not go too far.
“Assistant Director, I’ll talk to him. We’re not ready yet. Please forgive us.” Zhang Na said apologetically, “Please apologize to the director for me first. I’ll treat everyone to dinner tonight as compensation.”
“Okay.”
Seeing that Zhang Na had said so, the middle-aged man could not say anything else and could only leave.
As soon as the middle-aged man left, Zhang Na came to Qu Yikai’s side.
“Yikai, you can’t treat them like this. The other party invited us here to give us respect.”
“Just now, although that person was only an assistant director, the party behind him was Sacred Heaven Entertainment. I don’t need to tell you more about Sacred Heaven Entertainment, right?”
“Moreover, you have to figure out your position. You’re not relying on your ability now, but with your face. You’re also relying on your popularity. If you continue being so arrogant, I think there’s no need for the company to support you.”
Qu Yikai sat there with his legs crossed and looked at Zhang Na. “Sister Na, you’re going too far. It’s not like you don’t know how many fans I have on Weibo now. There are more than five million! Just by waving my hand now, a large number of die-hard fans will send me money.”
“Moreover, so what if they’re from Sacred Heaven? Isn’t Huayi Entertainment behind us? Huayi has been established longer than Sacred Heaven and has more foundation…”
These few words made Zhang Na sigh. In the past, Qu Yikai still listened to her words. Ever since he became popular, he even dared to say such things.
Click.
The next moment, the door of the room suddenly opened. Then, a man in his thirties slowly walked in.
“Director Sun.” Zhang Na looked at the man and knew why he was here. She immediately smiled apologetically. “Director Sun, we’re already ready. Is Miss Wang Menghan already here?”
“Miss Wang won’t be coming here anymore. We’ve changed the cast to two young actresses, who will shoot this advertisement with Qu Yikai.” After he finished speaking, he looked behind him and two beautiful figures walked out.
They were none other than Chen Mengmeng and Han Xue, who had already put on makeup and looked like a pair of immortals who had descended to the mortal world. They looked at Qu Yikai in front of them without any passionate expressions. Instead, they looked a little dissatisfied.
After all, everyone had been waiting outside for too long. The current temperature, coupled with the fact that the First-Grade Restaurant had just been renovated and the air-conditioning system had not been fully activated, made the staff sweat profusely. Everyone was waiting for this person.
Did he say that Wang Menghan was not coming?
Had they changed the cast?
Qu Yikai and Zhang Na looked at Chen Mengmeng and Han Xue, who were standing at the side. They looked at each other and confirmed their thoughts. These two were definitely new faces in the entertainment industry. They had never seen these girls before.
At this moment, Qu Yikai was sitting on a chair with his hand on the backrest. He looked at the people in front of him with a teasing expression. “Director Sun, isn’t this a little inappropriate?”
“You used Wang Menghan to trick me into coming here. It’s even better now. Not only did Wang Menghan not come, but you also found two newbies to freeload on my popularity. You guys really played this trick well.”
These words made Director Sun’s face turn cold.
