Chapter 34 - Endors.e.m.e.nt
Several marketing accounts with over a million fans started to burst out negative news related to Li Zhao like they had made an appointment. For example, during the filming of Overbearing Female President, he didnt work with the crew. After his popularity, he hugged Strawberry Entertainments thighs and no longer contacted his poor friends from his former crew.
There was a metaphysics blogger who stated that Li Zhaos previous company mightve been small but it was always profitable. After signing Li Zhao, it started to decline and finally, the company closed down. In addition, after the collapse of the company, LI Zhao suddenly became popular. What did this mean? It meant that Li Zhao stole the companys luck.
In the end, the metaphysics blogger was kind and reminded Strawberry Entertainment to not step on the road of Li Zhaos previous employer. One vicious method in the entertainment circle was to slander an artists life Which investor would dare to cooperate with an artist who would bring bad luck?
Li Zhaos fans were disgusted when they say this. Anyone who had been in the fan circle would understand that someone was clearly using this opportunity to slander their baby.
The big fans were worried that this would affect the pa.s.sersby goodwill toward Li Zhao They desperately appealed to everyone to ignore these marketing accounts. Quarrelling with them would just make them hotter. Just report it.
The metaphysics blogger saw that Li Zhaos fans didnt argue with him and felt a bit lonely, so he made a post.
Mr Five Elements: The artist surnamed Li is a typical person who sucks luck. What is a luck-sucking person? Anyone who stays with him is lucky while only he is good. This is a very selfish life. I advise other artists in the circle to stay away from him. If your luck is sucked by him then it will be too late to cry. If you dont believe it, you can go see the female star and second male lead of XX Female President. It seems that Li Zhao has absorbed their fortune?
Li Zhaos fans wanted to express sympathies to the bloggers family but they were good fans and couldnt speak dirty words. They might not dare to speak but someone else was different.
Song Yu looked at the nonsense on the Internet and his mood worsened. He picked the metaphysics blogger and directly comments with an exclamation mark.
Song Yu V: Get lost! //@Mr Five Elements: The artist surnamed Li
Song Yus words caused a huge stir on the Internet. Netizens who disliked Song Yu said that as an artist, he was too rude. He would lead children astray. However, more of them were praising his true temperament.
Li Zhao wasnt the only artist who had been harmed by this metaphysics bloggers nonsense. There were many female artists as well. He liked to say they werent good actresses and that a female artists face was very fickle, as if there were no good women in the entire entertainment circle. He also liked to stare at male artists.
However, there was a group of people who liked to hold this persons stinky feet. They regarded his Weibo posts as holy orders and ran to the artists Weibo to humiliate them. The fans of these artists had long been disgusted with this metaphysics blogger. Seeing Song Yu stand up to scold him, they ran to the comments area to show solidarity with him.
Song Yu sent the Weibo post himself and his team was too late to stop him. They only found out when the Internet was lively.
Are you cool? Has the evil spirit in your heart come out? The agent had been in rage due to this artist for a long time. This matter had nothing to do with you. Now the fans of the metaphysics blogger are scolding you for having a temper and no acting skills. Are you very happy?
Scold, scold. Song Yu shook his legs. You dont have to try and persuade me. I wont delete it. In the beginning, Li Zhao spoke for me in the media. I still owe him for it.
Who would like to owe another person something?
There are many ways to return the favour. You just chose the best way to attract the fire. The agent took a deep breath. Well, its fine. It will do you more good than harm. If you dont want to delete it then dont delete it.
He didnt tell Song Yu that this incident could be significant in the future, setting up him as a honest, rich person. He might not be fresh but it was better than acting pretentious. Moreover, Li Zhaos noise was known through the Internet and he could be considered a hot artist. Artists shouldnt be afraid of being scolded or they didnt deserve the name.
I dont know whats going on with these bloggers. Speaking nonsense like they hadnt graduated from primary school. Song Yu sneered. Li Zhao might be a fool but those going against him are blind.
The agent was silent for a moment. Mr Song, you are awkward when making friends.
Who is awkward? Who wants to make friends? Song Yu reacted like the agent had told him a horror story. Dont talk nonsense.
This agent felt a bit bad. Why did the company have him bring this young master?
Just then, the agent received a phone call. He spoke politely and after ending the call, he looked subtly at Song Yu. How are you feeling now? If youre not feeling good, you can scold that metaphysics marketing account again.
Song Yu looked suspiciously at the agent. Was this person driven insane by anger?
Previously, we havent talked about an endors.e.m.e.nt but the brand side took the initiative to call and set you as a spokesman. The agent couldnt hide his excitement. It is for one year.
Now the brand side was quite precise and the endors.e.m.e.nt contracts were usually signed for a quarter or half a year. If artists had the strong ability to sell goods and the consumers responded, they would continue to renew the contract. Otherwise, they would amicably terminate the contract and continue to harvest a new batch of fans.
Originally, Song Yus popularity and status werent enough to sign for a year. The brand offering to make it a year was simply sending fat meat to their mouth.
Be better with Li Zhao later. The agent was very emotional. This type of person is prosperous and people with him will rise.
Song Yu,
How didnt this become feudal superst.i.tion? He rolled his eyes. How come his former employer didnt flourish because of him?
Many company contracts are very demanding. They probably werent very good to Li Zhao and killed themselves. The agent was half joking and half serious. Thus, you must be better to Li Zhao in the future.
Song Yu,
The entertainment world was poisonous.
During the time when Song Yu was discredited by the media, Li Zhao stood up to clarify for Song Yu. When Li Zhao had rumors spread by the marketing, Song Yu didnt hesitate to stand up and scold the accounts. This was a truly touching friends.h.i.+p in the entertainment circle.
There were a small number of netizens who found another type of fun and became CP fans of the two people, secretly becoming fans in the forum. Just when everyone thought that Song Yu scolding people was already a lively event, Li Zhao also forwarded the post despite normally being inactive on Weibo.
Li Zhao V: Everyone has a responsibility to create a civilized and scientific society. The promotion of feudal superst.i.tions should be reported// Song Yu V: Get lost! // Mr Five Elements:
Hahahahaha, I want to die from laughter. G.o.d created a civilized society and everyone has a responsibility to maintain it.
The baby is right. We must believe in science and oppose feudal superst.i.tion.
Promoting this type of backward thinking in this era. Report, report.
I dont know why but I feel like Xiao Yu is a bit impulsive and mindless. Zhao Zhao is a good boy who is following the mindless one while waving a flag. I am moved by this pure and flawless brotherly emotion.
Everybody says that there isnt a real friends.h.i.+p in the entertainment circle. Isnt this real brotherhood?
Brotherhood? Hehehehe
This hehehe seemed very magical. There were many points to praise. Li Zhao looked at the comment area in a confused manner. Was there something strange about this comment? Why were so many netizens replying with a mysterious smile below?
After taking a bath and changing out of the clothes covered in the smell of hotpot, Li Zhao called Yan Ting and the video connected.
Yan Ting was wearing a white bathrobe and water beads were still soaking his dark black hair. He was holding a towel and drying his hair as he looked at Li Zhao on the phone. Dry your hair.
Im doing it now. Li Zhao had been busy reading the news on the Internet and had forgotten about drying his hair. He rolled off his bed and ran to the bathroom to get a towel. Then he jumped back in bed. Ting Ting, are you going back tomorrow?
Yan Ting wiped hishair. En.
Alas. Li Zhao sighed. I really want to follow you back together.
Yan Ting was silent as he gazed at Li Zhao. Whats going on?
Li Zhao shook his head. Its fine.
He just didnt want Ting Ting to go. It was nice to have someone accompanying him.
Among his friends, everyone had their own family and people who were more important than him. Even his fellow friends who came out of the welfare home had people they liked. Some were also married. It wasnt until Ting Tings appearance that Li Zhao suddenly had a strange sense of responsibility. He wanted to make Ting Ting happy but also need him a bit more.
He had this thought and scratched his head. Strange, how could he have such an idea?
He smiled with some embarra.s.sment at Yan Ting. Be careful when you go back. Dont leave things in the hotel.
Okay. Yan Ting put down the towel in his hand, black eyes gazing into Li Zhaos eyes on the screen. There are seven days until the Spring Festival. Once I go back tomorrow, Ill have the housekeeper clean up things on my side. On New Years Eve, you and I will watch the Spring Festival together.
Okay. Li Zhao coughed and thought that he should be polite. Will it be too much trouble for you?
No. Yan Ting picked up the phone and moved it closer to his face. Zhao Zhao, Ive been alone for 20 years.
There obviously wasnt any expression on Yan Tings face but Li Zhao felt that this person was sad. Refusing Yan Ting was an even more heinous crime. Then I will cheekily stay in your home for a few days.
Yan Ting moved his phone away slightly. Thank you.
Li Zhao was somewhat embarra.s.sed. Ting Ting was serious in thanking him but was also very cute.
Go to bed early tonight or it might be hard to fly tomorrow. Li Zhao yawned. Ill go to sleep too.
Good night. Yan Ting said good night but didnt reach out to hang up the video.
Ting Ting, good night. Li Zhao waved to the camera and hung up the video. The sleepiness on Li Zhaos face instantly disappeared. He happily opened the group chat for the children of the welfare home and couldnt wait to tell them the news.
Zhao Zhao Has Good Luck: This year, I will be celebrating New Years Eve with someone!
A Better Tomorrow: !
Make a Billion First: !!
Blossoming Voice: Baby, you are still a child. You arent allowed to fall in love!
Zhao Zhao Has Good Luck: [Covers face] Sister Xia, you are misunderstanding. I am spending the new year with a good friend. He and I are both alone so well be spending the new year together.
A Better Tomorrow: Zhao Zhao, dont lie to me and Sister Xia. You can come spend it with us.
Make a Billion First: It is also okay to come to me. Dont wrong yourself. You are 20 years old. Do you know how to celebrate the new year?
Zhao Zhao Has Good Luck: Hehehe, even if I dont understand, Ting Ting will know. Sister Xia, Brother Ming, Im still waiting to be a G.o.dfather to your children. I wont disturb your world @A Better Tomorrow @Blossoming Voice
Zhao Zhao Has Good Luck: @Make a Billion First Brother Xiaojun, you just got a girlfriend this year. I wont be your lightbulb. My family has a good-looking president with a cute personality and delicious home-cooked meals. None of you can take me away from Ting Ting.
The three people were worried that Li Zhao didnt want to disturb them and deliberately said that someone would accompany him for the new year. They tried to persuade him only to find that Li Zhao wasnt lying. Rather, he was showing off how good his friend was from beginning to end. Thus, they agreed with ease.
Blossoming Voice: @Zhao Zhao Has Good Luck, you know you can call us? No matter what you meet, Ill be here for you. Youll always have a home.
Li Zhao held his phone and couldnt help smiling.
Zhao Zhao Has Good Luck: I know da. I love you ya. Kiss kiss da~
Make a Billion First: Talk seriously. What is da ya? If you are short of money then remember to tell me. Ill give you living expenses.
Zhao Zhao Has Good Luck: Kiss kiss da, kiss kiss da, da da da~
Make a Billion First: You naughty child
Chen Xiaojun put down his phone and looked at his girlfriend lying beside him. It was impossible for other people to imagine the efforts that an orphaned child needed to go through to live a normal life after living the orphanage. Fortunately, he had a girlfriend who loved him. It was just that Zhao Zhao was now a star. It was unknown if he had time to come to Chen Xiaojuns wedding next year.
After talking with his friends, Li Zhao was really sleepy. He had just put down his mobile phone with Luo Rong called.
Brother Rong. He was so sleepy that he couldnt open his eyes.
The company helped you talk about a first-tier brand endors.e.m.e.nt. The other side took the initiative to find us and even the endors.e.m.e.nt fee is in accordance with the standards of first-tier artists. You should have no comments so the company helped you sign it.
Okay Li Zhao faintly heard that the company found a new job for him and agreed without hesitation. Work was equal to making money. He also wanted to make more money to give Ting Ting a big red envelope.
He heard that people who werent married would receive a red packet on New Years Eve. Then their new year would be peaceful, safe and smooth. Li Zhao had to send a big package to Ting Ting.
Listening to Li Zhaos confused voice, Luo Rong didnt insist on waking up Li Zhao. Based on his understanding of Li Zhao, it was impossible for Li Zhao to refuse such a good opportunity. It should be said that few artists in the circle could refuse such an endors.e.m.e.nt cooperation.
The evening was the most active time for bored netizens. The melon eating netizens found that the marketing accounts jumped up and down sharply but Li Zhaos fans were like Buddha, determined to uphold their three principles.
There were no comments, no forwards, no explanations.
The Li fans are too Buddhist. Everything is coming out while they are still licking their masters face?
Didnt they follow their master today by reporting a blogger who publicized feudal superst.i.tions?
Dont mention this. Only the words civilization and science are spinning in my mind. This is poisonous to both its owners and fans.
Dont say it, Li Zhao is really able to fight. I spend half an hour squatting on his page only to find his photos.
Im a pure pa.s.serby. If I am a Li Zhao fan then I will die. I think Li Zhao mightve been cheated. Think about it. Before Li Zhao was blackened, who was in the limelight?
Who else? It was the bragging veteran, Zhao Junnan.
Upstairs, your cover is blown. Before you sent the message, you deleted content about Lu Hao on your Weibo. A small 18 tier artist isnt even fit to lick my familys shoes. I will explode at anyone who dares to mention my familys name.
Soon, Lu Haos fans and Zhao Junnans fans were fighting in major forums.
Lu Haos fans knew that their artist was working with Li Zhao on a drama. Thus, they were very polite when mentioning Li Zhao and even helped him speak. Zhao Junnans fans werent polite. They said that one was an 18 tier artist and both people werent fit to lick Zhao Junnans shoes. This was a very arrogant att.i.tude.
Li Zhaos fans saw this and their hearts almost exploded. Then they thought about how their baby was a newcomer and could only bear it.
Thank you for the fan upstairs for reminding me that my baby needs to practice his acting skills.
Thank you for the whipping from Mr Zhaos fans.
Zhao Junnans fans were unprepared for the Li fans thanks. Wasnt this the time to tear at each other? As long as the Li fans scolded them, they could go to various forums to say that a small artist relying on his face went to the Internet to bully an actor who relied on strength.
Who wouldve expected for the Li fans to take the modest and good learning style? In the view of pa.s.sersby, it was Zhao Junnans fans who were using their high status to pick on a small artist.
Ingenious, too ingenious. Li Zhao looked like a pure white flower but he must be a scheming dog in private. All his fans followed him. Zhao Junnans fans felt like they were punching cotton and were very upset. They had to grasp at Li Zhaos no endors.e.m.e.nt.
Hasnt your family been declared the spokesman of a first-tier brand yet?
A first-tier endors.e.m.e.nt is very important and cant be sloppy. When will there be an announcement about your family?
Soon, the #Has Li Zhao announced the official endors.e.m.e.nt# topic was brought to the hot search by Zhao Junnans fans. They were satisfied with their fighting power and triumphantly wanted for more people to see the joke Li Zhao.
A small new person dared to use their brother to s.h.i.+ft his negative news. They would give this artist a lesson and let him know their brother wasnt good to be bullied. Just as Zhao Junnan was feeling proud, Cang Huans official Weibo account sent a post without warning.
Cang Huan V: He is the cool breeze in summer, the warm sun in winter. He is the latest spokesperson of Cang Huans Cangs.h.i.+ watch @Li Zhao V. Thank you for taking this opportunity and were looking forward to cooperating with you.
The melon eating ma.s.ses: ???
Was Cang Huans official Weibo hacked?
Is it April Fools?
Is this really the Li Zhao I know?
Cang Huan V replied to the dogs eating flowers: Many people in the company like Mr Li Zhaos role in Overbearing Female President.
Seeing the reply of the official Weibo, all netizens were shocked.
Li Zhao, too awesome! Awesome!
At this moment, I just want to know the mood of Li Zhaos fans and Zhao Junnans fans.
Ill speak for Zhao Junnans fans. Mom, my face hurts.
Hahahahaha, Zhao Junnan was the only one who was bragging. Your family wanted to drag Li Zhao into the water only to be hit in the face and killed.
Look at the topic that Zhao Junnan placed on the hot search. It matches even more with Cang Huans post.
Originally, the Li fans were very Buddhist. At this moment, they finally came out and ran to reply in the #Has Li Zhao announced the official endors.e.m.e.nt# topic.
Thank you for the care of my predecessors. My familys endors.e.m.e.nt has been announced.
Thank you for the seniors concern. Our baby is still small and got the endors.e.m.e.nt of a first-tier brand for the first time. If there are any shortcomings, please forgive him.
Zhao Junnans fans,
They didnt want to endure or pay attention to this. They just wanted to delete the original topic and be quiet. Zhao Junnans fans were embarra.s.sed while the Li fans were happy. They were happy along with Lu Haos fans. The endors.e.m.e.nt might have nothing to do with their Lu Hao but it was enjoyable as long as Zhao Junnan was disgraced.
Soon, the people eating melons found something interesting.
Am I the only one wondering why the message was announced on Cang Huans main Weibo even though itis the fas.h.i.+on brand being endorsed?
Perhaps it is to be more solemn?
I was idle and bored. I looked over the other endors.e.m.e.nts of Cang Huans products and found these endors.e.m.e.nt cooperations were publicized by the branch companys official Weibo.
emmmm
In my head, there seems to be an entertainment story that is being born.
Dont think too much. Didnt you see the official Weibo saying that many people in the company like Li Zhaos role? Maybe it is because of this.
No, the most amazing thing is that Cang Huans post has been sent out for more than 10 minutes. LI Zhao hasnt forwarded it and the studios official Weibo forwarded it first.
I was more bored than the upstairs netizen. I found that out of all of Cang Huans product endors.e.m.e.nts, Li Zhao is the one with the most nonsensical praise. What cool summer breeze, what warm winter sun? Is this a human? It is clearly a male fairy.
I also noticed this. The Weibo post is so heartfelt that I almost thought Li Zhao wasnt a seventh or eighth tier artist who relied on an online drama to become popular. He is actually an international bigwig.
What is Li Zhaos ident.i.ty that can lead the official Weibo to bend their waists like this?
My family was also a brand spokesman and the official announcement at the time was very official and formulaic. To be honest, Im a bit jealous.
Jealous +1. Cang Huan blowing rainbow nonsense is really like a high imitation account.
This is the endors.e.m.e.nt of Cang Huans super quality watch! If this is the endors.e.m.e.nt that my familys artist got then I would definitely go crazy.
At this moment, Li Zhao was still sleeping. Suddenly, Song Yu banged on his door.
Li Zhao, you have the nerve to be sleeping. Hurry and open the door!
The author has something to say:
Zhao Zhao: I wont open, wont open. Ting Ting hasnt come back.
