Chapter 121 Couple’s Internet Name
Zhou Le answered the phone.

"Why did you and her change your online names to couple names?"

Nazha's voice was a little anxious.

Zhou Le was completely confused.

Who has a couple name with me? Is there anyone who can be a couple with me in my online name?
"Who?"

"You."

Zhou Le: "Me?"

"if not?"

"What's wrong with me?"

"Couple screen names!"

"Who?"

"You're not, you and Dilraba."

"Dilraba and I are couple nicknames? My name is Zhou Le and her name is Dilraba. How can they be couple nicknames?"

"No, are you still pretending?"

After Zhou Le pondered for a moment, he suddenly realized.

"Did she really change her name?"

"No, you two changed your names to couple names, and now the whole internet knows about it. It's even trending on Weibo, and you're still pretending not to know?"

Zhou Le opened Weibo: "Wait for me."

Then Zhou Le saw that this entry had indeed become a hot search.

【Reba｜Couple Screen Name】

Seeing this, Zhou Le knew that what he said at the Weibo Movie Night was in vain.

Looking again, I found that Reba had indeed changed her name to [Purchasing Xinjiang Local Specialties Agent].

"Naza, listen to me."

Zhou Le quickly recounted part of what happened last night.

After hearing this, Nazha stopped talking.

"So, you're saying you were just joking?"

"Yeah, otherwise how could everyone be as shameless as me and keep changing their verified Weibo names?"

"makes sense."

Naza nodded seriously on the other end of the phone.

"That's right, and I went to dinner yesterday with a mission. I told you, I sounded out the pros for you, and she said she's just playing around. If she can get in, then she'll do it, but if she can't, it doesn't matter. She has other projects lined up between this year and next year anyway."

"What's there?"

"One was a mythological film. She played the leading female role. I forgot her name, but I remember Dou Xiao and that...Hu Yifei were in it?"

"Lou Yixiao, right?"

"Yes, yes, that's her."

"What else?"

"There seems to be a micro-film, and two variety shows, Produce Camp and Go Fighting."

Zhou Le said.

In fact, after what Reba said to him last night, Zhou Le knew that she probably still cared about him, otherwise she would not have used this method to test him.

After all, it’s the first time you meet someone, and the chances of the other person falling in love with you at first sight are really not that high.

Zhou Le is not narcissistic to that extent.

But the problem now is that both sides say this, and the actual result will not change because of how they convey it. In the end, it still depends on the strength of the company behind it and the preferences of the director, producer, and investor.

So the best way is to convey the original words.

Whether it is Nazha or Reba, they will think for themselves.

Zhou Le felt that if he were in the position of either side, he would not believe such nonsense.

"Okay, but what are your couple names?"

"It's really not a couple name. If you search Weibo, you'll find a lot of local specialty purchasing agents from various regions. If you search online now, you can even find local specialty purchasing agents in Guliaogou."

Nazar nodded thoughtfully.

"What is the Guliaogou?"

"It's nothing, just the name of a place where we go to see peach blossoms every spring. The Japanese call it Little Wuhan, and the people of Wuhan call it Xiaoheliaogou."

“Is there such a saying?”

"Yes." Zhou Le was very sure.

But Naza soon figured it out.

Actually, it’s nothing, it’s just a name. Everyone is competing with each other, but when they meet, they still have to chat for a while even if it’s just for the sake of courtesy.

The hostility is not to the point where we don't say a word.

But Zhou Le will definitely not act in that TV series at the moment.

With a personality like Reba, in most scenarios, she has to hype up her CP every time she shoots a drama.

Now Reba and Zhou Le have some scandals, so how can she create a couple relationship with the male lead of Pillow Book?

It must be impossible.

Moreover, Reba’s image among her fans is not that of someone who would do such a thing.

Now there are many people on the Internet saying whether Reba is crazy.

Although it seems that she may not be able to make it, Nazha feels much more comfortable knowing that no one else can make it.

After all, in comparison, my chances of winning are indeed not high enough.

The success of Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms was Jiaxing's success, and the subsequent failure of the film was the fault of the leading actors Liu Yifei and Yang Yang.

It has nothing to do with Jiaxing.

So now Jiaxing still has a great advantage in this competition.

"Okay, thank you for this time." After Nazha thought it over, she was not so angry anymore. However, even if she was angry, she would not change her name to a similar one.

Wouldn't that be asking for trouble?

Instead, it makes people laugh.

"Does your stomach still hurt?" Zhou Le asked.

Naza shook her head: "Much better. Today is the last day, but it would be best to wait two or three days after it's over."

Zhou Le: “?”

What and what?
I can understand that the last day of my period is the last day of my period, but what does it mean for two or three days after it ends?

But Zhou Le didn't ask.

But after chatting with Nazha, Zhou Le sent another message to Reba.

"Congratulations, you've finally taken the first step."

As a result, there was no reply for a long time.

Zhou Le thought about it and went online to read the comments.

There are currently two main categories of comments.

The first category is Reba’s fans, who expressed confusion.

Because the video of Zhou Le and Di Lieba appearing together yesterday has been posted online.

The marketing account had already posted screenshots of the two people's Weibo names and videos together along with various tags.

Therefore, netizens on the Internet are now divided into three types.

Are you a devil? QAQ: "What, Reba actually... Stop talking, draw your sword!"

You can call me Yuhuaxian: "Born, Brother Le, how many people are you going to harm? I strongly demand that Brother Le be sentenced and let me replace him."

Brother Lang: "Born, Brother Le, how many people do you want to harm? I strongly urge you to harm me first."

It's Ah Yu, not Ah Yu: "Just bring disaster to me and Brother Lang together."

This is the first wave of abstract fun.

Yue Yangfan: "It's all hype at first glance, so let it all go."

Take a break and watch for fun: "If it is true, I bless you. If it is hype, I also bless you."

Shu Xixi: "What's so great about just having a meal with friends? If there's really no news, then go to the front lines and be a war correspondent!"

This is the second wave of indifferent people. They are very Buddhist and can see the truth at a glance.

Didi fed me and asked, "Did Reba's account get hacked?"

Jiu Er Ba Music Box: "Sister, please stop associating with these questionable people in the future. Are you going to close your business in the future? This kind of trending search will not do you any good!"

Di Zai is so cute: "Promise me, even if you want to hype up a couple, find some top stars, okay? Why would you find such a no-name guy?"

These are fans of Dilraba Dilmurat.

However, some fans commented that they looked down on Zhou Le.

Di Lieba also replied.

"Zhou Le is my friend. I think there's nothing wrong with having dinner with friends. I appreciate your concern for me, but this is my private life. Please don't deprive me of my right to make friends."

"What do you mean by 'not good enough'? I'm already 26 years old. Don't I know what kind of people I can be friends with? You haven't even seen him."

"Do you only make friends with people who are better than you? If everyone thinks this way, why would they want to be friends with you? Finally, I don't think Zhou Le is bad. He is much better than me."

Zhou Le was shocked.

Although these words were much more tactful than those spoken by Nazha, there was still a firmness in the tone.

Is this still Reba?

But when I saw this, a message suddenly popped up on WeChat.

"Sorry, I was in a meeting with the company and wasn't looking at my phone."

Look at the name again.

It's Reba.

"It's okay. The company is looking for you after all."

"Yeah, they've already asked me to change my name back. Now I have to delete all the comments I made about them. Oh, it's so hard to be free." Zhou Le smiled: "It doesn't matter. At least you have the courage to do it."

Reba: "Hehe, I think so too. What do you think of my bravery this time?"

Zhou Le thought about it, then sent a voice message.

"Hey, you're quite experienced, Guli."

Reba burst out laughing when she heard Zhou Le's weird inversion of Xinjiang province.

"Haha, what are you talking about? That's so weird. Okay, let's not talk about it anymore. They're calling me again. I'm going to be criticized again."

"Go ahead, come on, you can do it."

Reba thought Zhou Le was funny: "You are so weird, just like a weird uncle."

But Zhou Le did not respond.

Zhou Le went to practice driving in the morning, but Su Yingxia also called in the afternoon.

Zhou Le was also forced to change his name.

Time passed day by day, and later Wang Sicong set up a table specifically for Zhou Le's bravery at the Weibo Movie Night, but this time Jiaoshou did not come, and Lin Gengxin still appeared.

Zhou Le finally understood what a fleeting ex-girlfriend meant.

The iron-clad Lin Gengxin.

But as the start time of "Speeding Life" is getting closer.

The crew members also arrived one after another.

As the leading actors, Shen Teng and Yin Zheng naturally had to arrive first, especially Shen Teng.

Not only does he have to be the leading male role, but he also has to be involved in the script to a certain extent. After all, this is a comedy movie, and there have to be a lot of jokes, and it would be best if the critics have something to say.

For example, "Let the Bullets Fly" from six or seven years ago, and "Charlotte's Troubles" and "The Richest Man in Xihong City" a little later, received a lot of bad reviews at the time, but looking back now, there are details everywhere, and people on the Internet have started to keep playing with the memes in them.

But as the second male lead, Zhou Le naturally got involved as well.

Zhou Le has read the script many times, and now it is indeed full of jokes.

But during the meeting that day, Han Han expressed his thoughts.

However, Shen Teng still mentioned that he wanted to lose weight for this drama.

Han Han said no.

"Teacher Shen Teng, you play a down-and-out racing enthusiast. Your figure is just right now. I've already arranged for the costume designer to make your clothes slimmer."

After finishing speaking, Han Han said again.

"Do the teachers have any good ideas?"

The words fell.

Zhou Le and Shen Teng spoke at the same time.

"I think"

Zhou Le then said, "Teacher Shen Teng comes first."

But Shen Teng waved his hand: "It's okay, you go first, maybe we can think of the same thing."

Zhou Le smiled and said, "I'm just daydreaming. I don't know if it's appropriate or not."

"Just talk about it, let's brainstorm."

Zhou Le nodded: "Then I'll say it first. If it's not right, just think of it as me wasting a minute of everyone's time."

"In the script, Teng Ge, the protagonist of the show, is Zhang Chi. His father doesn't have a name, so I just had a sudden thought: since his last name is Zhang, why not call him Zhang Yang? This would tie in with 'Charlotte's Troubles' and, as an Easter egg, add a paragraph when Zhang Chi explains the origin of his name to his son.

It's like the one in "Charlotte's Troubles" where everyone has their own opinions.

Isn't the dialogue structured in three parts? First introduce the father, then talk about the son. It can be considered a progressive process, so the audience can remember it more deeply."

When Zhou Le said this, Shen Teng immediately slapped his thigh!
"Hi!"

"Isn't this the same idea? I've been thinking about the script these days, and I also wanted to add this paragraph here."

"Maybe great minds think alike."

Han Han smiled and said, "That's a good idea. I'll add it later. Anything else?"

Zhou Le nodded. "One more thing. Since we've already linked up with Charlotte, why not make it more thorough? From "Charlotte's Troubles" to "The Richest Man in Xihong City," the connecting link is Xihong City. This might be the Xihong City universe that Happy Twist wants to create. Why not just call the city they're in Xihong City as well?"

But after Zhou Le finished speaking, Shen Teng thought about it.

"Forget it. After all, it's Director Han's movie. It's not good to make such a big fuss about it. People who don't know would think Director Han has joined our Happy Twist. I think we should just make it Xihong Road, Qiqihar City, and write it on the driver's license."

Originally Shen Teng was joking.

It would be good enough if Han Han paid tribute once, it would definitely be inappropriate to appear again and again.

As a result, Han Han actually nodded.

"I think this is pretty good, it really works."

Shen Teng: “???”

"This can also serve as an Easter egg. Actually, audiences won't notice this kind of detail in the cinema. Only later, when some film and television bloggers analyze the film, they might see it. Then, the audience will have a 'wow, so that's how it is,' and this will also help with subsequent streaming on the platform after the release."

Then they chatted for a while.

Finally, Zhou Le took the script and pointed to the English word below "Flying Life" on the cover.

"Director Han is truly a detail freak. I was just flipping through the script when I realized the movie's title could be used as an Easter egg, connecting to the story in the script."

Shen Teng and Yin Zheng were confused.

do not know the meaning.

Han Han looked appreciative.

"What does this mean? How is this connected to Fei Chi Ren Sheng? It's my name and my son's name. Zhang Chi, Zhang Fei?"

Zhou Le shook his head: "This is just the superficial side, but look at the English below."

Yin Zheng looked at it and read it out loud.

"Slap Su to death?"

Zhou Le looked at the English name PEGASUS and fell into deep thought.

Although my English is average when I study civil engineering, is this how this sentence is pronounced?
It's just that it doesn't matter.

Zhou Le continued, "This word means Pegasus. Do you remember the scene Zhang Fei imagined when Zhang Chi and Lin Zhendong first met?"

"Zhang Chi represents the Bronze Saint of Pegasus, and Lin Zhendong represents the Gold Saint of Leo. Isn't this a very obvious Easter egg?"

Shen Teng: “???”

Yin Zheng: "???"

"No, what kind of Easter egg is this? Is it just that the names are related?" Yin Zheng asked.

Zhou Le went on to explain: "The Pegasus Gold Saint represents the grassroots who rely on technology, but the Leo Gold Saint represents the second-generation rich who rely on technology. I don't know if you have heard the saying that the poor rely on mutation, and the rich rely on technology. The mutation here can also be understood as technology.

But the title is Pegasus, which means that the ending is not actually open, because the winner's name is already written in the title."

Yin Zheng suddenly realized!

"Wonderful!"

"As expected of a top student!"

Zhou Le waved his hand: "I'm not a top student. If I were, I would go to Tsinghua University. Tsinghua's civil engineering program is ranked third in the country."

"Then why don't you go first?"

Zhou Le smiled and said, "Because Tsinghua is so famous."

"Haha, but you even know this word, so you must have scored quite a few points in the college entrance examination in English, right?" Yin Zheng asked again.

"Alas, I'm ashamed to say that I only scored 90 points in English on the college entrance exam, which is barely enough to pass."

"Ninety. To be honest, I'm far behind you."

Shen Teng laughed: "Hahaha, I only scored around 300 points in the college entrance examination, probably not even half of Le'er's score."

Han Han was also amused: "I'm really amazing. I didn't even take the college entrance examination, but I got a perfect score on the composition. And this was only after I took the test."

"It's not important!" Zhou Le waved his hand. "The most important thing now is that we perform well in this movie under Director Han's guidance, and then leave a strong mark in our lives!"

"well said!"

Shen Teng led the applause.

Yin Zheng followed.

Shen Teng likes the way Zhou Le speaks seriously but sounds particularly frivolous.

"Le'er, but I thought about it again. Isn't the key point of your sentence the last four words?" Shen Teng suddenly said.

Yin Zheng: "A dish?"

As soon as the words fell, several people in the room burst into laughter like old men again.

"The filming will start tomorrow, everyone should stay alert. You can have dinner together during this time, but it's best not to drink. I will arrange a suitable time for everyone to rest."

The day before the start of the project.

The crew has arrived in Xinjiang Province.

In the hotel conference room, Han Han once again emphasized the crew discipline after the start of filming.

After saying that, he glanced at Zhou Le inadvertently, as if he meant something.

Zhou Le lowered his head in shame. Before, when he was filming "Sisters Who Make Waves", he always drank secretly with Deng Chao.

Fortunately, there are no drunkards in the crew now.

But that very night, Zhou Le received a video call from Nazha.

"Hey, Zhou Le, I just arrived in Shanghai after finishing my work there. I've booked a room at the hotel you were staying at before. Which room are you in? I'll come find you."

Zhou Le: "???"

Damn it.

I've been in meetings every day these days and forgot about this!
Then start looking for things.

"What are you rummaging about? What are you looking for?"

Zhou Le said guiltily: "I'm looking for an excuse."

Naza: “???”

Then, she saw Zhou Le pick up the notepad in the hotel, and then saw the familiar words on it.

"Are you in Xinjiang Province now?"
