Chapter 224: Counterattack

"Book Club" was broadcast a little earlier than "The Trip".

On the day of the broadcast, Lu Yanhe didn't even know that there was such a show.

Or Yan Liang sent a few screenshots to the group and asked Lu Yanhe: Old Lu, have you had a holiday with this writer named Yu Jiang?

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

Yan Liang: I feel like she's targeting you.

Li Zhibai: This person's face looks a little mean.

Yan Liang: When will you still look at your face?

Lu Yanhe: Am I innocently lying on the gun, or have I been targeted?

Yan Liang: I don't know, compared to you, in fact, more people have opinions now than fans of idol artists who have acted in her adaptations.

Li Zhibai: Huh?

Yan Liang: Yu Jiang has adapted several books into film and television dramas, and many actors are idol artists, she said this kind of thing, many fans feel that their idols have been shot, especially the fans of several very popular people, and now they are scolding her under Yu Jiang's social media.

Li Zhibai: I went to search just now, and most of the film and television dramas she adapted were performed by idol artists, and they were all popular idols.

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

-

The trend of things and the focus of public opinion have become like this, which is also something that "Book Club" did not expect.

At the beginning, everyone's preset was that Lu Yanhe's fans would make trouble, but now it is not like that at all.

Lu Yanhe's fans expressed dissatisfaction with the show and Yu Jiang is only a small part of the voices, and the most dissatisfied are the fans of those idols who have worked with Yu Jiang.

When the "Book Club" program team held a meeting together, screenwriter Zheng Huai directly complained about the matter: Now it's okay, everyone's attention is on Yu Jiang, and they are attacking Yu Jiang, and now it's all negative news.

Yu Jiang is now almost besieged by the whole network - of course she also has fans, but compared to the fans of those idol artists, it is a drop in the bucket. In this case, Yu Jiang's personal homepage almost completely collapsed.

Yu Jiang himself is stupid.

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

Yu Jiang didn't realize that what she said swept a large number of people.

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

"Teacher Yu, I'm just a little idol artist, and it's useless to speak."

"Teacher Yu, what should I say? Idol artists have no acting skills and are not suitable for acting, isn't that what you said? โ€

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

has worked with artists, but no one is willing to speak for her!

Yu Jiang stood in the living room of his house in disbelief, for a while like a forest suddenly invaded by a north wind, suddenly covered with frost, not only his expression, but also his movements as if he was frozen.

Why is this happening?

-

Zheng Huai came to a restaurant near the company, ordered a chicken steak rice for himself, looked around, and made sure that there were no acquaintances, so he made a phone call and went out.

"It's been a long time since I've seen your methods, and I'm still so resolute." Zheng Huai said with a smile, "If you don't make a move, it's just that, as soon as you make a move, it's amazing, and now the contradiction is transferred, and Xiao Lu is directly taken out." โ€

Chen Ziyan's voice rang from the other end of the phone: "Isn't it thanks to you for giving me a letter in advance and making me prepare in advance, that Xu Bantian thief is not dead, and he wants to stumble on Xiao Lu, why are people so cheap?" โ€

Zheng Huai smiled and said, "Looking at it, he is a cautious person." โ€

Chen Ziyan: "Anyway, thank you this time, I remember this feeling." โ€

"You're welcome, you helped me a lot back then." Zheng Huai said, "On the contrary, I should go back to the show "Book Club", and I should have a suitable theme, please come and play with Xiao Lu." โ€

"Forget it, you broadcast Yu Jiang's words about Xiao Lu in the first issue, although now we have shifted the focus of public opinion and let the controversy not fall on Xiao Lu, but let him appear on your show again, won't it cause new controversy?"

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

"Next time you become a director yourself, I'll let all my artists come to your show."

"Okay." Zheng Huai smiled and nodded.

-

Why didn't it turn out the way he imagined?

Xu Bantian was full of doubts.

Inexplicably, it became a conflict between other idol artists and Yu Jiang, and Lu Yanhe was taken out instead.

Xu Bantian doesn't believe in chance. He knew that there must be a promoter behind this incident who was manipulating the direction of public opinion.

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

Just as he was puzzled, Xu Bantian's mobile phone suddenly buzzed and vibrate.

"Lao Xu, someone on the Internet is picking on you." A colleague from Jingtai said incredulously.

"Pick me?" When Xu Bantian heard his colleague say this, he felt even more puzzled, "What are you trying to do with me." โ€

"See for yourself."

The colleague hung up the phone and sent a link.

Xu Bantian clicked on it and found that this link was actually a forum post.

The title of the post is "Who is Xu Bantian, the assistant director who appeared in major variety shows?" ใ€‹

The article is very long, and he first lists the production staff of seven or eight variety shows, all of which are shows that Xu Bantian has participated in, and his name is marked with a red frame on the picture.

After the list, I wondered why Xu Bantian was able to participate in so many program productions at a young age and served as an assistant director.

There was also a photo of Xu Bantian behind, and I don't know where it came from.

When Xu Bantian saw this, he was a little nervous, instinctively worried that someone would accuse him of relying on his father's relationship to go through the back door.

And so it is.

However, seeing the back, Xu Bantian suddenly preferred to hope that it was such content.

Unfortunately not.

The article suddenly turned around and returned to the programs he had participated in, pointing out the fact that in the programs produced by Xu Bantian, four of the programs had a female artist named Xu Xiaowen appearing.

When he saw Xu Xiaowen's three words, Xu Bantian's face changed.

Because Xu Xiaowen was his ex-girlfriend, he talked to him for a while, and then broke up.

This matter has never been made public, on the one hand, Xu Bantian himself does not want to make it public, and on the other hand, it is also because Xu Xiaowen was a female idol before, so it is not suitable for love.

Unexpectedly, it has been a while since I broke up, and now I am suddenly picked up.

At the end of the article, it is said that Xu Bantian once fell in love with Xu Xiaowen, and the two took advantage of their work to like each other.

After reading this breaking news post, Xu Bantian's face turned black directly.

There was only one voice left in his heart: Oops.

-

"Li Zhibai's article is very well written, are you really not going to put it in the book?" Xu Mingyue asked.

Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi glanced at each other and said, "This article is being sent out now, it's a little sensitive, let's take it down, forget it." โ€

I don't know if Meng Li will really do anything.

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

"Now the total number of words in the manuscript we get is 90,000 words, and if we want to publish a theme book, the number of words is actually relatively small." She said, "How many manuscripts have not yet been submitted?" โ€

Lu Yanhe said: "Jiang Yuqian is the only one left who hasn't given me a manuscript, so should we go to make a few more manuscripts?" If the word count is not enough. โ€

"It's better to be able to get more manuscripts." Xu Mingyue said, "Otherwise, the volume of this book is only so large, and the pricing is difficult. โ€

"Then we'll go find some more drafts." Lu Yanhe said.

Xu Mingyue nodded, "Actually, I don't think it's confined to those writers or celebrities who have become famous, there are well-written manuscripts, just like the manuscripts written by this rookie author named Bai Yu, which can also be used." โ€

"She's my classmate, I know she's writing, so I made an appointment with her, and I don't know anyone else who writes well besides her."

Xu Mingyue said: "Then why don't you ask Liu Jiazhen and Mingyin?" They are all well-known authors with their own writing circles, and maybe they know some people who are willing to write for the book. โ€

Lu Yanhe's eyes lit up, "This is okay, I will contact them immediately and ask them for help." โ€

Xu Mingyue took out a stack of manuscripts from her bag and said, "I have reviewed these manuscripts and have some revisions, you see whether you communicate with them, or you give me the contact information of these authors, and I will communicate with them." โ€

Chen Siqi thought for a while and said, "You are the only professional among us, is it smoother for you to communicate with them directly?" โ€

Lu Yanhe said: "I'll communicate with the artist's draft, you give me the manuscript." โ€

Xu Mingyue nodded: "Some basic text problems, I have directly marked them on it, if they don't mind, I can directly change it for them, but there are some places that I think need to be modified and adjusted to the content, I wrote my comments in the blank space next to it, you can take a look at it first, if it's not suitable, forget it." โ€

"Hmm."

After the three of them discussed the matter of "Jump Up", Xu Mingyue had to return to Jiangyin Publishing House.

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

After a while, Xin Zixing came over.

She also brought a very young girl.

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

"The layout of the digital version of the book can be left to her."

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

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

"It's a design I've done before, and you see, what kind of style you want."

Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi received it.

Xin Zixing said: "I have a meeting later, you talk first, I'll go first, come on." โ€

Xin Zixing came in a hurry, and left in a hurry.

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

Her works are basically simple, generous, and line-oriented, which coincides with Chen Siqi's thoughts.

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

It's not the kind of complicated and gorgeous or too plain, nor is it the kind of official account-style design.

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

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

Chen Siqi: "I really like your design style. โ€

Yilong: "Thank you. โ€

The design of the physical book was originally entrusted to Jiangyin Publishing House, but Chen Siqi was not particularly satisfied with the typesetters arranged by Jiangyin.

In comparison, Yilong's design style, Chen Siqi liked it at a glance.

Aesthetics is a matter of first sight.

They sat together and talked about what kind of book they wanted to make "Jump Up", and as they talked, they talked about the era when everyone used to read magazines and books.

In the evening, Lu Yanhe's mobile phone suddenly rang.

"Sister Ziyan?" Lu Yanhe answered the phone.

"What are you doing?" Chen Ziyan asked.

Lu Yanhe said: "I was talking about "Jumping Up" with Siqi, and today Sister Zixing brought a designer from there. โ€

Chen Ziyan originally called to come to Lu Yanhe to talk about Xu Bantian, but when she heard Lu Yanhe's energetic voice, she decided not to talk about it for a while.

I don't want to use this kind of thing to affect Lu Yanhe's mood - Xu Bantian's matter was arranged by her, Chen Ziyan originally wanted to talk to Lu Yanhe, so that Lu Yanhe was also angry, Xu Bantian was too disgusting before, however, Chen Ziyan called Lu Yanhe and realized that Lu Yanhe didn't really take Xu Bantian's matter too seriously.

He has his own things that he cares about and values.

People like Xu Bantian will only become a nuisance.

-

In the evening, someone called Chen Ziyan.

The caller was a friend of Kyotai.

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

As soon as he said that, sure enough, it was the middleman invited by Xu Bantian to ask her to meet.

Now I know it's urgent.

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

"Alas, Ziyan, you can give me a 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 adults, give him a chance."

"The opportunity has already been given, and he doesn't cherish it himself." Chen Ziyan said, "When he came to apologize for the first time, I accepted it, but what did he do? If you are doing evil behind your back, don't be a lobbyist for him. โ€

Now Xu Bantian has not been on the hot search.

Xu Xiaowen is not particularly popular, and this matter has not attracted much attention.

But just the attention in front of him has made Xu Bantian's head bigger.

Xu Bantian's mobile phone kept ringing, and it didn't stop, all of them came to ask about it.

The most important thing is that Xu Xiaowen also called.

Since the two of them broke up, they haven't been in touch again, but now they are in touch again because of this incident.

Xu Xiaowen asked Xu Bantian if he had leaked the news by saying that he had leaked the news.

Xu Bantian immediately denied it.

He didn't know how Chen Ziyan dug up this matter, but it was definitely not a problem on his side.

Xu Bantian said: "I haven't asked you yet, is this matter leaking from your side?" โ€

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

Xu Bantian was excited by this sentence, and said angrily: "Have you been embarrassed by falling in love with me?" โ€

"I didn't say that, don't put a hat on me, you know that the fact that I was in love with someone was exposed, and I would lose a lot of fans!" Xu Xiaowen said, "Xu Bantian, I asked someone to inquire, this matter is not for me, people are for you, it is you who let us be exposed, you quickly find a way to solve it yourself!" We've all broken up, so don't get me in trouble anymore! โ€

Xu Bantian was so angry that his chest was rising and falling.

"Okay, don't worry, I'll deny it right away."

Xu Xiaowen: "If it is useful, I would have denied it a long time ago." โ€

"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 in his hands?!" Xu Xiaowen said, "Instead of being slapped in the face after denying it, it is better to admit it directly now." โ€

Xu Bantian: "Your fans are now scolding me on various platforms on the Internet. โ€

"There are only a lot more people scolding me than you." Xu Xiaowen said coldly.

-

Xu Xiaowen used to be a female idol, and idol artists falling in love are like their own houses collapsing for fans.

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

This incident had a great impact on Li Zhibai.

He didn't dare to imagine what kind of storm he would face when Meng Li really exposed the love letter on the Internet.

The matter has come to this, and Li Zhibai also realized that he has really done this inauthentic thing.

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

Zhou Ping'an: You are embarrassed to ask, such a big trouble is being solved, don't bother me.

Li Zhibai: Oh.

Zhou Ping'an: Meng Li is a crazy woman, you will suffer less from her in the future, and don't have anything to do with her.

Li Zhibai: Then you still asked me to act in the play "Accompany You to the End of the World", didn't you push me into the fire pit?

Zhou Ping'an: Because this character can be popular, do you say that this character is popular?

Li Zhibai hissed, wiped, and let this force arrive.

-

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

The character design of the grumpy rich second generation is particularly dramatic, coupled with Li Zhibai's own popularity, so that many clips in the play have become popular and popular on the Internet, especially on some short video platforms, Li Zhibai's performance clips have tens of millions of views.

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

The business that came to Li Zhibai for cooperation has increased significantly.

He's busy right nowโ€”of course, he's happy to be busy right now, so he doesn't have to worry about being blocked by the masked.

He was blocked out of the psychological shadows.

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

He also thought that Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi didn't like the content of this article, and muttered: You guys are too boring, right? Didn't you just use you as a prototype?

Lu Yanhe: It has nothing to do with us, it's because we don't know what Mengli will do considering the matter between you and Meng Li, if this article is published, the object of discussion will be you.

Li Zhibai suddenly realized that he was thinking about his affairs.

Li Zhibai: This is really a trouble, so isn't your book without an article written by me?

Lu Yanhe: Well, that's the only way to do it.

Li Zhibai looked at Lu Yanhe's news and fell into deep thought.

He was just lazy, but he was not stupid, and he knew that his name had a very important meaning for Lu Yanhe's book.

This is Lu Yanhe's first book, and the results of the first book determine whether the following book can continue to be made.

Li Zhibai looked at the cityscape flowing outside the car window and thought, why don't you write another article?

What to write?

Li Zhibai was worried.

What can he write about when he was a student?

-

"Li Zhibai's manuscript can't be sent, what should I do?" Lu Yanhe asked Chen Siqi.

Chen Siqi said: "Then you have to find someone of a considerable level to write it, now Jiang Yuqian's manuscript has not come, Li Zhibai's manuscript cannot be sent, and the two most popular stars are not, I think we are suspected of fraud." โ€

Lu Yanhe couldn't laugh or cry.

He thought for a while and said, "Why don't I try to make an appointment with Huang Kairen?" โ€

When filming "Golden Age" with him, Lu Yanhe felt that he had a good relationship with Huang Kairen.

Chen Siqi said: "If you can ask Huang Kairen to help you write this manuscript, of course." โ€

Lu Yanhe didn't have a draft about Huang Kairen before, because he felt that he was not very familiar with it.

Now I can only make an appointment.

What Lu Yanhe didn't expect was that Huang Kairen agreed in one bite.

"Okay."

Lu Yanhe was surprised.

Even Chen Siqi was shocked, but he didn't expect Huang Kairen to agree directly.

-

That night, Huang Kairen and Xin Zixing finished 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 asked me to write a manuscript." โ€

"Dating you?" Xin Zixing's surprised voice came from the bathroom.

"Hmm." Huang Kairen said, "I agreed as soon as possible." โ€

"Huh?"

"This is the book you are responsible for, and I agreed." Huang Kairen said, "You say, what am I going to write?" โ€

Xin Zixing: "How do I know this, you think for yourself." โ€

Huang Kairen looked at the figure that came out of the frosted glass, even if it was just a shadow, he could still see the graceful figure.

The things in his mind gradually blurred again, and only the person in front of him remained.

"Baby." Huang Kairen shouted.

Xin Zixing's movements paused, "What are you doing?" โ€

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

Xin Zixing: "You have to get up at five o'clock tomorrow morning to catch a flight." โ€

"Yes, it's in time." Huang Kairen bit his lip lightly, "Otherwise, we won't see each other again in the next week." (End of chapter)
