This man knows how to hype

Chapter 697: Old Talk
No misunderstanding.

Xu Xiyu just arrived at the hotel.

Musen Holdings' 20th anniversary celebration party hasn't even started yet.

Some things were accomplished by Du Zhiping with the constant shouting of "please"!

Afterwards, Du Zhiping looked radiant. She changed into a dress for the celebration and went to the hotel's grand banquet hall. She looked better than the celebrity singers who were invited to perform.

However, Xu Xiyu felt hollowed out and gradually became dazed. He couldn't believe that he had actually fallen for this trick.

Fortunately, this trance disappeared instantly after the celebration began, because he met an acquaintance he hadn't seen for a long time at the celebration party.

This acquaintance was none other than the famous host, Wang Honghui, who had participated in the "Love Study Tour" with him.

She happened to be the host of Musen Holdings' 20th anniversary celebration today.

When old friends meet again, after finishing their work, some greetings are naturally inevitable.

The original conflict, under the catalysis of time, has become a topic of nostalgia.

Similarly, due to the gap in their status, the relationship between the two has become somewhat different from what it used to be.

In a lounge, two people sat side by side on two single sofas. Xu Xiyu sat casually with his legs crossed.

Wang Honghui, on the other hand, sat upright, with her body slightly tilted towards Xu Xiyu, like a student ready to answer questions at any time.

"What is Zhang Yiyuan busy with recently? I haven't heard from him for a long time." Xu Xiyu asked casually while motioning her to relax.

"Since his divorce from me, he has been on a downward spiral. I heard he's been researching how to sell goods recently."

"Selling goods?" Xu Xiyu was stunned.

"Yes, do you know who he follows to bring the goods?"

"Who? Could it be Teacher Bu?" Another "old friend" popped up in Xu Xiyu's mind. This was the "super talent" from "Love Travel".

He is so awesome that Xu Xiyu can't help but call him "Teacher Bu" when he mentions him.

After tasting the sweetness of live streaming at the first National Style Culture Festival, he has finally embarked on a path that suits him.

Nowadays, with his abstract thinking and shameless spirit, he still enjoys a place in the live broadcast industry, giving benefits to his "family" all day long.

"You guessed it right. He really followed Bu Zhaojie to sell goods." Wang Honghui had a wonderful expression when she talked about this.

She continued, "You don't know how ugly the quarrel between him and Bu Zhaojie was. Because of the matter of the four oil kings, Zhang Yiyuan almost treated Bu Zhaojie like a grandson.

As a result, now he is thinking about hyping up the "Four Oil Kings" with Bu Zhaojie in the live broadcast room, doing some nostalgic jokes, and selling imported olive oil by the way. "

"Haha~ Hehehe..." Shan Xinbao, who had been silent, couldn't hold it in anymore when he heard this.

What the hell is imported olive oil!

You know what, they are quite shameless like their boss.

Xu Xiyu naturally didn't know what she was thinking. He just couldn't help laughing and said to Wang Honghui: "Zhang Yiyuan treated Bu Zhaojie like that before, doesn't he bear a grudge?"

"Who knows? If there's money to be made, some grudges might not matter. Besides, maybe Bu Zhaojie just wants to see how it feels when Zhang Yiyuan comes to him for help." Wang Honghui said, feeling a little emotional.

After sighing for a while, she suddenly thought of Jiang Yue again and asked curiously, "Boss Xu, how did Jiang Yue come out of your place when she was fine?"

"Oh, she wanted to start her own business. I thought that was a good idea, so Shuangshuang and I invested some money in her." Xu Xiyu lied with a smile.

Jiang Yue did leave, mainly because he lacked the ability to keep up with the development of the group and was unable to be competent for a core executive position.

As a veteran of the company, she felt reluctant and embarrassed to see newcomers climbing over her head.

So, after considering for a long time, I decided to resign.

In this regard, Xu Xiyu also tried to retain him, after all, he was a nostalgic person.

Although Jiang Yue lacked ability, he had a clear understanding of himself and knew that staying was not a good choice, so he insisted on leaving.

After leaving, Xu Xiyu was worried that outsiders would misunderstand whether she had fallen out with her, thus causing some unnecessary trouble.

So, he and Qiao Shuangshuang invested some money in her to support her in opening an agency.

Anyway, Dixing Culture does not engage in brokerage business, so her agency can be regarded as a supply supplement. At present, this agency is doing well, focusing on both internet celebrities and artists.

Thinking of this, Xu Xiyu changed the topic of Jiang Yue and asked another guest on the show, the son of the famous director: "What is Zhao Yuchen doing recently?"

"What else can he do? Just rely on his father's money. Oh, this guy is really a piece of shit." Speaking of Zhao Yuchen, Wang Honghui's tone was full of disdain and disgust.

"What do you mean?" Xu Xiyu didn't quite understand.

"After the negative incident of him domestically abusing Wu Shiyi passed, he started to act up again. He has been divorced from Wu Shiyi for so long, but he still won't let her go.

In the past two years, Wu Shiyi has been ruined for many reasons, and now she can't even find work." Wang Honghui said, shaking her head.

When Xu Xiyu heard this, the image of the woman with a figure as delicate as a vase emerged in his mind.

At the beginning, when I first joined "Love Study Tour", everyone looked down on me and targeted me, but this woman was the only one who was calm and polite to me.

Thinking of this, Xu Xiyu turned his head and said to Shan Xinbao: "Xinbao, do you have any suitable projects? Arrange some work for Wu Shiyi."

"Yes, Xuejian has recently participated in the investment of several IP dramas of Aiqiyi and Tencent. One of them is called "The Legend of Haoxue", and the second female lead is set to be a female demon.

I think Wu Shiyi's image is very suitable, she has a good figure and is beautiful. Also, recently the Oriental TV in Shanghai is going to launch the "Sisters Who Go Away 4" project.

I can talk to their chief director and let Wu Shiyi in. These are all we have at the moment. For the others, Wu Shiyi may not meet the requirements.”

A good assistant is one who can always answer questions when the boss asks them.

Although Shan Xinbao usually looks like a fool, he always works with Yu Yuyu, that jerk, to tear down Xu Xiyu's pretense.

But when it comes to getting down to business, there is no ambiguity at all.

Just like now, she can execute Xu Xiyu's ideas instantly, and she neither sends Wu Shiyi away casually nor assigns her work that she cannot do.

This is one of the reasons why Jiang Yue could not stay, while Shan Xinbao could always stay by Xu Xiyu's side and sit firmly in the core executive level of Dixing Culture.

"If possible, I'll arrange it now." Shan Xinbao asked.

"Okay, let's do this." Xu Xiyu nodded.

After getting a positive answer, Shan Xinbao stood up and walked aside to make a phone call.

Wang Honghui didn't know how to describe her feelings when she saw that Xu Xiyu casually gave the order and Shan Xinbao arranged a second female lead and a main host of a variety show to go out.

She envied Wu Shiyi's good luck.

He was also amazed at Xu Xiyu's current status and ability.

She said, "Mr. Xu, if Wu Shiyi knew that you still remembered her, she would be so happy."

"That's true. We haven't known each other for many years. What's there to talk about remembering or not remembering?" Xu Xiyu laughed.

This has only been a few years, and Wang Honghui's mood has become even more complicated.

I have been in this business for so many years, and he has only been in this business for a few years, but the gap in status between us is already so huge.

If this continues, won’t the gap widen in a few years?

Xu Xiyu ignored her thoughts and continued, "If there is a chance, call everyone except Zhao Yuchen, the disgusting guy, and get together. If Qinyao and Xinying see you, they will probably be very moved."

When talking about Lu Qinyao and Ke Xinying, Wang Honghui laughed along.

The triangle relationship between these two and Xu Xiyu was important gossip for the "Love Study Tour" program crew and all the guests. If they didn't talk about it every day, something would be missing.

Nowadays, there have been huge changes.

Ke Xinying should be considered retired. She hasn't produced any new works for many years. Few people outside know what she is doing. They just watch as the Curtin Group seems to be getting bigger and bigger.

As for Lv Qinyao, she is an internationally renowned singer and actress, as well as the chairman of Little Moss. A few days ago, she was elected as the vice chairman of the China Film Association.

Resources, status, and honors are all maxed out.

"Hey~ Mr. Xu, I have to say that everyone around you has ascended with you." Wang Honghui praised sincerely.

Without waiting for a reply, she took the initiative to bring up the original conflict: "You said that I was also blind to the great man at the beginning, why did I plot against you for no reason?"

"Hahaha, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have become famous." Xu Xiyu laughed.

He laughed, and Wang Honghui also laughed.

As I said before, some contradictions will become nostalgic topics under the catalysis of time.

As for Xu Xiyu, it was only in front of Wang Honghui and others that he felt a little bit of "returning home in glory". He would not go out of his way to find this feeling, but since he encountered it, he might as well feel it.

An hour later... In Beijing, Wu Shiyi received a call from the producer of "The Legend of Hao Xue" in her rented apartment.

"Yes, I'm Wu Shiyi, may I ask who you are?"

"The Legend of Hao Xue, the second female lead?!"

"I'm sorry, it's just that I don't doubt you, this news is really a bit sudden..."

"Can I attend the script reading in a week without having to audition?"

"Mr. Xu arranged this?!"

"Oh, okay, okay, I get it."

After hanging up the phone, Wu Shiyi stood there blankly, with the words the producer had just said echoing in her mind.

"What other roles are the people Mr. Xu has arranged to audition for? I'll send you an address. Come over when you're free tomorrow or the day after tomorrow to discuss the remuneration."

I don't know how long I was in a daze, but the phone suddenly rang again.

When I picked up the phone, it was the coordinator of "Sisters Who Go On 4" calling.

"Join the show?"

"Are you sure?"

"Excuse me, just...I want to ask, how did you find me?"

"Oh, was it recommended by Mr. Dan Xinbao?"

"Okay, okay, thank you, thank you!"

The second call was disconnected.

Wu Shiyi looked at her phone and fell into a daze for the second time.

She didn't know how long she was in a daze, but she suddenly opened her WeChat friend list and saw Xu Xiyu's WeChat account lying quietly there.

The two haven't talked for a long time.

At first, during the New Year holidays, Wu Shiyi would send blessings to Xu Xiyu, and Xu Xiyu would naturally reply.

Later, as Xu Xiyu's status in the industry became higher and higher, Wu Shiyi gradually stopped posting, and only occasionally liked Xu Xiyu's posts on WeChat Moments.

Later on, she even didn't dare to like the posts.

Now, looking at this WeChat account, she thought about it for a long time, and finally plucked up the courage to edit a message [Mr. Xu, thank you for your support] and sent it.

After sending it, Wu Shiyi waited nervously for a reply.

However, after waiting for more than ten minutes, there was still no movement in the chat box.

"It seems like I won't come back." Wu Shiyi shook her head with mixed feelings.

But at this moment, the phone rang with a notification tone, and in the chat box, Xu Xiyu replied: [Come on! ! (Fist fist fist)]

These two simple words seemed to inject a stream of sweet water into Wu Shiyi's body and mind, which had been tortured for several years. Instantly, she was full of vitality.

She quickly replied, "I will (fist fist fist)" and threw her phone on the sofa.

Then he stretched out his arms and started jogging in circles in the living room as if he was flying.

While running, she couldn't help humming the song "Scenery of Hometown" played by Xu Xiyu in "Study Tour of Love".

It’s just that Xu Xiyu’s playing sounded plaintive, while Wu Shiyi’s humming filled the room with joy.

the other side……

Xu Xiyu was wearing a bathrobe. When he saw the message "I will (fist fist fist)" sent by Wu Shiyi, a smile appeared on his face.

The reason why I waited for more than ten minutes before replying her message was mainly because I had just been taking a shower.

However, he did not explain to Wu Shiyi that he was taking a shower.

He didn't explain not because he was too lazy to explain, but because he was afraid that Wu Shiyi would think too much.

In the entertainment industry, saying "I was just taking a shower" after doing a favor for someone is very likely to be considered a "sexual suggestion."

Time passed slowly.

Soon, another thing that made Xu Xiyu happy happened.

That is, the preview reputation of "The Fortress of Shanghai", which was highly anticipated by everyone, seems to have collapsed.

If "The Wandering Blue Planet" had not appeared, people might have been more tolerant of it.

Unfortunately, no if.

It is also a domestic science fiction film.

This script was also written by Xu Xiyu.

It is inevitable to compare them, and this comparison will reveal problems.

This problem became even more serious during the subsequent release period.

The box office on the first day was 5.25 million.

The next day's box office was only 3.19 million.

By the third day, only 1.73 million was left.

If it were any other movie, this kind of result would actually be quite good. After all, the box office was 10.17 billion in three days, which is not bad.

Even "Shanghai Fortress" has already paid for itself at this point.

Combined with the overseas box office, it even made some money.

But don’t forget that the employees of Huaqing and even Dixing Culture expect “Shanghai Fortress” to earn 100 billion yuan domestically and at least 80 billion yuan overseas.

Now, a basin of cold water was poured down.

It made everyone feel very disappointed.

Seeing all the relevant personnel become listless, Xu Xiyu almost laughed himself crazy.

"Let them float, let them float, it's time to face the reality now, right?" Xu Xiyu's voice was heard in the office.

"Look at you, you really deserve a beating. Have you ever thought that after this incident, the people of Earth Culture will look down on the people of Huaqing even more?"

The person who spoke was Ke Xinying. She brought Xu Xiyu's parents and two children out for fun today. They passed by Dixing Culture and came to take a look.

"Calm down first. Earth also has projects to carry out. They will calm down too." Upon hearing this, Xu Xiyu looked strangely at the baby in his arms.

Seeing this, Ke Xinying lifted up the other baby in her arms, skipped the previous topic, and said, "The New Year is coming soon."

"Hmm?" Xu Xiyu turned his head and looked at Ke Xinying.

"Or, why not bring them and a few babies home and spend the New Year together." Although Ke Xinying did not say the names directly, the "them" she was referring to was obviously Lu Qinyao and Yang Xueqing.

Xu Xiyu didn't reply immediately after hearing this. Instead, after thinking for a while, he asked, "Is this what you meant, or what my parents meant?"

"What do you think?" Ke Xinying asked back.

"If it's my parents' idea, don't bother with it."

"My parents don't want me to be wronged. This is my own idea. The three of us are not people who can't see each other. After all, we are brothers and sisters. In the first year, we have to reunite, right?"

"Let me ask them what they think. Xueqing is fine. She has a large family. Every year, her uncles and aunts celebrate the New Year at Grandpa Yang's house. It doesn't matter whether she and her children are there or not.

It's mainly about Qin Yao. Once she left with the two babies, it was just her parents at home, which was a bit lonely." Xu Xiyu said worriedly.

"Then bring her parents over as well," Ke Xinying suggested.

"I'm afraid he won't come." Xu Xiyu shook his head. "Let's talk about it later. I'll ask him later."

"Well, keep this in mind, don't forget it, and don't delay it." Ke Xinying said seriously.

Seeing this, Xu Xiyu couldn't help but reach out and touch her extremely pretty face and said, "You really are..."

"What is it really?"

"She's quite the heroine."
