Please Have a Cup of Green Tea - Chapter 54
On the top floor of Huo’s house, a handsome young man in a black sweater looked down through the floor-to-ceiling glass window, and sure enough, he saw his brother leading the girl in from the porch.
Recently, he noticed that his brother was in a very good mood, and he was completely different from the way he used to treat his work as his wife with a straight face.
And I don’t know if it’s an illusion, the girl’s time to come to the house has become more casual, instead of following the once-a-week rule as before.
Going downstairs, he really met the intimate couple in the living room.
His brother put his hand on the girl’s shoulder, lowered his head and said something to her, and then saw the beautiful girl glance at him slightly, and then shook his head gently.
“Don’t make trouble, Mingzhe. The new crew is very good, no one bullies me, and Teacher Xu is an acquaintance…” Her voice was as clear as the collision of pearls, and it sounded particularly moving.
“Your acquaintance is not a good person,” the man said in a calm tone, but the content he said did not hide his sharpness, “The total investment in his drama is more than 200 million, and the salary for you is still the newcomer price, which was originally scheduled to be given to another person. The price of the female lead candidate is ten times higher than yours, and the abacus is quite loud.”
Huo Mingzhe originally suspected that Xu Chengyang had bad intentions towards his girlfriend, but when he turned to look at Bi Ming’s new play contract, this thought was replaced by another unhappy emotion.
The other party gave a newcomer price of 20,000 yuan per episode, and after more than 50 episodes, it was only 1 million yuan, which is quite shabby compared to the starting price of 10 million yuan for popular actresses.
But in his eyes, his simple little fool is quite content: “It’s double the salary of a love letter, which is good.”
In fact, Bi Ming, who is “simple and easy to deceive”, knows that there is no businessman in the world who gives free opportunities to charity?
Another competitor of mine, the big spender’s salary is tens of millions. What’s the use of investing 200 million in the whole drama, one heroine can take up a quarter of it.
However, in the original book, Xu Chengyang still chose this big flower instead of Yan Qingxia. Bi Ming guessed that it should be a publicity problem.
“Summer Love Letter” was only broadcast at the end of the year, and “Yan Qingxia” is still a nobody. If he can play with the best actor or play the heroine, it is estimated that a lot of netizens will be crazy.
Bi Ming’s reputation is too weak, and his popularity is too low, and Xu Chengyang dares to gamble on his own drama.
Looking at the girl who was lost in thought, Huo Mingzhe snorted with a smile, “Okay, Xia Xia, I think you were sold and helped to count the money.”
Bi Ming didn’t refute him, just lowered her eyes and said calmly: “Mr. Xu is kind to me, and someone else wouldn’t help me like this at all.”
“This is your benefactor? Why don’t you talk about the movie I recommended for you?” The man began to feel sour when he heard this “yes”, but his expression didn’t show it, “He’s not asking you to help you, It’s venture capital, understand?”
The drama is not popular, and Bi Ming, a newcomer, is the best scapegoat.
The drama is on fire, with low cost and high return, Xu Chengyang can even reap Bi Ming’s favor when he earns a lot.
It’s really so refined that it can’t be refined any more, and only a sincere person of mine doesn’t understand it.
The girl frowned a little embarrassedly: “Mingzhe, it can’t be calculated like this, he has to take a lot of risks… And the drama you recommended is a plot of men fighting and killing, I have no room to play. .”
Huo Mingzhe was helpless when she said, “As you wish, if it doesn’t work anyway, I’ll find you a better one next time.”
The man is really not bad for money, and he doesn’t mind spending money for his girlfriend, but Bi Ming shook his head with a serious face: “You don’t need to do this, I will fight for a good script myself.”
Huo Mingzhe was heartbroken, the little girl still has too much self-esteem in her bones, why does it need to be divided between “you and me”?
He raised his hand to touch the girl’s cheek, telling her that she could rely on him more, but only halfway through the thin lips, he heard the light cough of the young man behind him—
“Brother, sister-in-law, Mom asked me to call you to the restaurant.”
Huo Mingzhe was slightly startled, and when he looked back, he realized that the young man had been standing behind them and listening for an unknown amount of time.
“Xiaohe, why didn’t you say hello when you came?” The man’s voice sank, and he thought that fortunately he hadn’t made out with his girlfriend just now, otherwise he would have been looked down upon by this kid.
For Huo Mingzhe, who grew up with a Western-style education, he attaches great importance to the sense of boundaries between people.
Sheng He is his younger brother, but listening to him chatting with his lover like a spirit behind him makes him feel unhappy that his privacy is being probed.
The boy’s skin color was different from his brother’s healthy and **** wheat color, the paleness that never saw the light of day. His pupils are black and white, and he has an expression on his face that seems to be able to see through everything.
“You guys have been chatting for too long, I can’t get in.” His voice was like an ice spring, extremely cold.
The young couple were stunned.
Bi Ming suspects that this is a person turned from a stone, and he can’t understand the atmosphere and is righteous.
Huo Mingzhe frowned and thought deeply. His younger brother’s temper had always been so weird because of what he experienced as a child, and it was difficult for him to manage as a family member.
“Forget it this time, say hello next time.” He finally just patted his brother on the shoulder, “Let’s go, go to the restaurant.”
“Yeah.” The boy responded, turned around and left, but at a slow pace, he seemed to have deliberately slowed down to wait for the two of them.
The three of them walked towards the restaurant in a silent atmosphere.
Bi Ming was a little curious, this pair of brothers grew up and the other was young. The elder brother was mature and stable, and he was as cunning as a fox, but why did the younger brother look like an autistic person who should not be approached by strangers?
“Brother Xiaohe…is he going to college in Shanghai?”
Sheng He pouted, and it was extremely awkward for Bi Ming to call himself “younger brother”.
“He majored in computer science at Fudan University,” Huo Mingzhe explained to his girlfriend next to him, “usually he would come home without classes.”
Bi Ming gave a small “wow”: “It turned out to be a scholar.”
Seeing her suddenly bright eyes, Huo Mingzhe sighed. He knew that the girl was full of longing for the university. Hearing that her brother was studying in a famous university would naturally be full of admiration.
“Why do you only ask him and not me?” He quietly took her hand and gathered her thin fingers into his palm.
The girl who was holding hands in front of Sheng He’s face was blushing, her hand was struggling a little, but she didn’t succeed: “You, you went to college more than ten years ago, right?”
As soon as Sheng He looked back, he saw their hands together, and he was very surprised. It turned out that the straight man’s brother also had such an interesting side.
And looking at the stickiness, it is estimated that the day when the girl becomes her own family is not far away.
Thinking of this, he felt a sense of anticipation in his heart, so he no longer remained silent, but took the initiative to say:
“Sister-in-law, my brother was also a very powerful scholar back then.”
“Huh?” Bi Ming was stunned for a moment, not expecting that his younger brother would take the initiative to speak for his elder brother.
“When he was seventeen years old, he got admission notices from Oxford, Cambridge, Yale, Stanford, and Columbia at the same time. It’s just that he was full of rotten copper stench. After skipping grades at Oxford, he couldn’t wait to return to China to make money.”
Huo Mingzhe, who inherited one of the largest comprehensive groups in China at the age of 23, was also ordered to be in danger at the time. At the critical juncture of the turbulent international financial crisis, he abruptly pulled the shaky group back on the right track. The company is on the fast track of development.
When Father Huo watched his son turn the tide, he simply gave up his position to him. Since then, Baoli Group has made great progress at home and abroad, and has now become a giant in the business world.
Huo Mingzhe smiled and stared at his younger brother: “Your kid was raised in a stinky heap, what do you dislike?”
Sheng He was stunned by his brother, and suddenly stopped talking.
Bi Ming looked at the boy’s profile, and suddenly asked inadvertently:
“If my brother is a freshman, have you participated in NOI before?”
NOI, which is the National Youth Informatics Olympic League, was heard by Bi Ming when he was engaged in math competitions in his last life.
Huo Mingzhe raised his eyebrows and raised his lips: “Yo, Xia Xia, how do you know this kid’s great achievements?”
Bi Ming looked up at her boyfriend in confusion, “What do you mean?”
Sheng He interrupted his brother: “It’s nothing, let’s go quickly, Mom has been waiting for you for a long time—”
But it was useless to change the subject. In the eyes of beautiful women like water, Huo Mingzhe mercilessly exposed his brother’s past:
“In the third year of junior high school, he joined NOI and joined the training team, and was selected by the summer camp for the top innovative talent selection camp of Qingda University. People saw his good grades and said they would sign an admission agreement with him in advance, but this kid refused.”
Sheng He:…
“Why?” Sure enough, Bi Ming cooperated with a shocked expression, “Such a good opportunity.”
Sheng He looked at his brother, and a sullen thin red finally appeared on his fair face: “Brother, stop talking.”
Huo Mingzhe showed a smile that belonged to his brother:
“Someone said at the time that if he wanted to go to college so far from home, he would rather die.”
“Brother!” The kid was stiff, this was the dark history he didn’t want to recall.
However, Huo Mingzhe also added: “Originally, the family planned to let him study abroad, but he refused. He insisted on staying in the Shanghai stock market. And he didn’t like living on campus…”
“It sounds so cute, like a child.” Bi Ming sighed softly.
The teenager pursed his thin lips, and his face turned red as he watched the pair of men and women unite to “bully” him.
“you-“
Huo Mingzhe grabbed his girlfriend’s soft little hand and smiled meaningfully at his younger brother:
“Xiaohe, don’t be angry, anyway, this is your sister-in-law, you will know sooner or later.”
Bi Ming twisted her wrist, but was held tighter by the man: “Why Huo Mingzhe, your brother is watching…”
“Let him see.” Huo Mingzhe led her forward with a light tone, “This kid is eighteen years old and hasn’t talked about a girlfriend yet, we just happened to teach him a lesson, let him see what a fair lady is. A gentleman is so arrogant.”
Sheng He’s eyes couldn’t help but stop on their entangled hands again.
Is skin-to-skin so interesting? He was a little confused and a little curious.
If you have a chance, you can try it yourself…
He really wanted to know what magical power this “sister-in-law” had to make his resolute older brother so clingy.
And Bi Ming, who was pulled forward, was also thinking about one thing in his mind:
How did Sheng He develop his character of being extremely family-loving and dependent on his family?
Normal teenagers can’t wait to break free from the shackles of their families as soon as possible, and from then on, they will be completely free.
And the mental state of the young man is obviously very abnormal.
***
Yun Zhen recently received an endorsement for a luxury jewelry brand.
For this reason, she did not renew her original jewelry brand, even though the brand’s partnership with her has always been stable.
People around do not understand her decision, because Yun Zhen’s original endorsement conditions are much better than the new brand.
But Yun Zhen is very insistent, because in the original book, this luxury brand should have been an opportunity for Yan Qingxia.
As a book-wearer, she is too familiar with the rise of the heroine. At present, Yan Qingxia should still be entangled with the boss of her company, and Xu Chengyang will soon help her and sign someone to her ‘s studio.
Before the launch of “Summer Love Letter”, they shot an advertisement for this jewelry brand together, and during the broadcast, the advertisement was launched and spread on a large scale in subways, shopping plazas and other places, because the picture is beautiful and romantic, causing many passers-by. Looking at it, I thought that Yan Qingxia and Xu Chengyang were a couple.
In order to avoid this situation, when Yun Zhen signed the contract with this brand, she specifically requested that she and Xu Chengyang shoot the same series of advertisements, and the brand side could not find other actresses to partner with Xu Chengyang.
This kind of requirement is also unheard of for the brand side, but after weighing the pros and cons, they feel that it is okay to give the green light to a top-notch actress like Yun Zhen.
Xu Chengyang is their global brand spokesperson, and if Yun Zhen wants to sign, she is the brand spokesperson in China. Although they are one level apart, they are a good match.
The profit-seeking brand originally wanted to shoot a series of love-themed advertisements. If Xu Chengyang, the top male star, and Yun Zhen, the top female star, had a deep cooperation, would they still worry about the popularity?
In the end, Yun Zhen achieved her goal, at least Yan Qingxia never had the chance to shoot that well-received commercial with Xu Chengyang.
And tonight, the navy and the fans are already in place, and the topic #yunzhen endorsementBolri# quietly made it to the hot search list.
The topic started with the advertising video released by the brand. A woman in a **** champagne-colored dress smiled charmingly in front of the camera, her fingers fell on her collarbone, and the jewelry brand’s new seasonal items were on it. The gorgeous and elegant jewelry was under the camera. sparkling.
At the same time, the same marketing copy appeared on a sound and Weibo:
“Yun Zhen’s new endorsement! Join hands with Xu Chengyang to interpret the romantic summer, look at each other and smile sweetly! 》
Then the accompanying picture is the picture of Yun Zhen smiling at the camera in the commercial, as well as the screenshot of Xu Chengyang’s previous jewelry promotional video.
Although they are not in the same frame, the costumes and backgrounds of the two are the same color, and it looks like they are sweetly dating in the same scene.
This is the shooting scene specially designated by Yun Zhen, and the jewelry is all selected from the same series as Xu Chengyang. The brand is very cooperative. They think that if they can stir up the CP of the two spokespersons, Yun Zhen and Xu Chengyang, their co-produced commercial will definitely be Stimulate the public’s desire to buy.
Soon, another topic #yunzhenxuchengyang# was quietly added to the hot search.
The protagonists this time are the marketing accounts that have previously released soft articles.
The replies under each marketing account are very watery, such as “bless them”, “really good match”, “love love”…
The tone is similar, and the content is the same. At first glance, it is a robot army dispatched.
The real passerby who clicked in was at a loss: “What is this? Isn’t it just an endorsement of the same brand? I thought it was really something…”
Fans of the two will also click in to see, and then can’t help clarifying:
“Take away Zhen Zhen, I’m not familiar with rude people, thank you.”
“A certain top female star’s navy is here again, can you please stop bothering my brother.”
Once there are a few irrational remarks between fans, it is easy to cause a tear-off war.
Soon, this CP topic was opened up into a new battlefield by Du Wei, who had a strong fight on both sides. All kinds of ridicule of you coming and going in the real-time square pushed this hot search up again.
Yun Zhen was very satisfied, she was not afraid of only fans quarreling, but was afraid that no one would pay attention.
The rule of CP marketing lies in the fact that it is true and false.
She knew that she and Xu Chengyang didn’t have any chemistry in “Summer Love Letter”, so she could only take action in advance, tying the names of the two together to build momentum in advance.
It’s just that her proficient CP thread-embedding routine has gone wrong.
Because that night, Xu Chengyang’s new drama “This Heart Uninhibited” released a makeup photo and officially announced the cast list.
In the heroine column, three words were displayed: Yan Qingxia.
Yun Zhen widened her eyes in disbelief, and stood up from the sofa: “How could it be her?”
In the original book, this play is clearly Lan Ning’s cake!
Yun Zhen naturally coveted this next year’s drama king, but Xu Chengyang was the producer, and secondly, she thought she couldn’t compete with Lanning, so she gave up.
So why-
Will Yan Qingxia get this opportunity?
Of course, it wasn’t just Yun Zhen that exploded tonight, there were also a group of netizens watching the excitement, fans of the male lead who couldn’t believe it, and fans of Lanning who became angry after being scammed.
There is only one question left in everyone’s mind:
Where is this Yan Qingxia sacred?
