Chapter 205 Farewell to Earth
After arriving at the hotel, the two of them went to call their three teammates and played games for two hours, but while they were playing, PDD and others also came.

No matter what, you have to join the team.

In the end they had no choice but to open customization.

What the anchor circle lacks the most is people who want to play League of Legends together.

It's still them here, and on the opposite sides are Pdd, Da Sima, Zhou Shuyi, Zzitai and Qingwa.

Anyway, the location is just for fun, and the main focus is entertainment.

But after playing two games, under the leadership of the shy and uzi, and with Zhou Le's magical hook of the Xiaomi robot, the opponent was in great pain.

So we won two games in a row.

But after a day of playing, the number of fans of both Zhou Le and Wang Junkai on Douyin and Weibo skyrocketed.

The reason is that after they had almost finished playing, several big anchors expressed that they could pay some attention to Zhou Le and Wang Junkai.

While they were playing games, Uzi also asked Zhou Le why he started the live broadcast but did not enable rewards?

"Hey, it's mainly because I can't bear to let my friends spend money. My main job is an actor, and now I also invest in film and television dramas. There are ways to make money, but my friends are different. I know that some people who like it are really willing to give tips.

But to be honest, a hundred yuan tip is enough to buy five or six pounds of pork ribs, which can last for several days if you eat it yourself. Two or three hundred yuan tip is enough to take your girlfriend out for a hot pot or barbecue. It’s better to keep this money for yourself.

And if there are too many people giving tips, I might not even be able to see them all, so even if I wanted to thank them I wouldn’t be able to thank them all, so there’s no need.”

After hearing this, everyone felt that Zhou Le was indeed a very open-minded person.

Of course they can't do that, after all, that's how they make a living.

"By the way, Brother Le, I wonder if you're free tomorrow. If not, I'd like to invite you guys to Shanghai. We can have fun together for two days, and I'll take care of all the expenses."

Pdd said.

Zhou Le did not agree immediately, but turned to look at Wang Junkai.

"I won't have anything to do in two days."

"I'm fine, so I might as well go for a walk. But I can only stay there for two days. After that, I have to go promote the movie again."

Upon hearing this, PDD said, "Then I'll wait for you in Shanghai. To be honest, the people I admire most in the entertainment industry are Cheng Long, Wu Jing, Le and Xiao Kai. I'm honored to have this opportunity."

PDD's speaking style is indeed quite good, which is quite different from that in the live broadcast room.

After all, in the live broadcast room, the purpose is to create a good show effect, and what fans love to see most is the host Hong Wen.

These words were said directly in the live broadcast room, and fans were looking forward to seeing these people appear in the same frame, although some of Wang Junkai's fans felt that people in the e-sports circle were a bit low, swearing all the time and looking a bit vulgar.

But anyone with common sense can see that if Wang Junkai were to join the e-sports circle, it would be of great benefit to his career development.

So the wealthy Wang Junkai bought plane tickets on the spot, and they flew directly to Shanghai the next day.

After arriving, pdd directly arranged for a luxury car to pick us up.

After that, they stayed here for two solid days.

On the morning of the first day, I went to the e-sports team for a walk. PDD treated me to lunch at noon, and in the afternoon I found a vegan KTV to sing.

As soon as Da Sima came up, a microphone was stuffed into his hand.

He was a little embarrassed at first, but then he sang two songs by Andy Lau before the noise started.

"That's not right, Lao Ma. Why don't you bring out your best song?"

"What do you mean? Those two songs are my best."

"Are you hiding something from your brothers here? Isn't that Jay Chou song your best?"

"Which one?"

Zhou Le usually goes online quite a lot, especially in recent years, Bilibili has risen to become the representative of mid-length video websites, with all kinds of ghost videos emerging one after another.

"Is that the one that said goodbye to Earth?"

As soon as Zhou Le opened his mouth, everyone burst into laughter.

"Yes, yes, that's right. It means farewell to the Earth. Old Ma is watching your performance."

Wang Junkai was completely confused after hearing this. It took him a while to react before he whispered to Zhou Le, "Isn't that a confession balloon?"

"That's the original name, but Mr. Ma can sing it in a different way."

The anchors on the scene are all old brothers.

Da Sima couldn't refuse even if he wanted to, and in the end he could only hold the microphone.

"Coffee on the Left Bank of the Seine~"

But I couldn't sing any more after finishing the verse part.

"Quick, Brother Le, give us your comments."

Zhou Le said without hesitation: "Cute~"

After that, they took turns singing, and finally Zhou Shuyi went up and sang and danced.

"Sister Zhou, this is..."

"Oh, Sister Zhou used to be in a girl group."

Zhou Le suddenly understood.

Uzi treated us again in the evening.

After eating, they went back and played games live for a while.

The hotel we stayed in was arranged by Pdd himself, and the next day Pdd found another place to play.

While they were playing, Zhou Shuyi even came over and said, "Brother Le, I usually listen to rap more. The songs you released at that time are on my playlist. I really like them."

"Really? But I personally don't have much talent in this area. Those songs were given to me by friends."

Zhou Le felt that he could play with pdd, dasima, uzi and others in private.

But the female anchor still has to stay a little further away.

Especially recently, the news of Zhou Shuyi and Yaoshuige chatting online has been widely circulated online, so Zhou Le doesn't want to get involved in this mess anymore.

"That's pretty impressive, Brother Le, I think your level is definitely good enough to be a mentor on The Rap of China."

"Forget about being a mentor. Going up there will make people laugh."

After saying that, Zhou Le raised his hand and called out to Wang Junkai who was not far away: "Xiao Kai, are you thirsty?"

"A little bit. Brother Le, I'll go buy some water."

This sentence attracted the attention of others, and then they started talking about buying water.

After playing other games for a while, Zhou Le and Wang Junkai went back to the hotel. While they were chatting about work, Zhou Le suddenly received a WeChat message from Zhou Shuyi, asking her to invite him out for a late-night snack.

Zhou Le thought about it and asked Pdd again.

"Sister Zhou is treating us. Sister Zhou didn't invite us. Brother Le, if you want to go, go ahead. Sister Zhou is quite open-minded."

When Zhou Le saw this, he said, "If my brothers aren't going, then I won't go either. I'm a little tired from playing today, and I have to catch a plane back tomorrow morning to promote the movie."

"Okay, it's mainly up to you. But how should I put it, Sister Zhou is more playful, and it's really not appropriate for you to go alone with her. But Brother Le and I came back and thought about it. After your new movie is released, we will also help promote it for you. After all, we are brothers."

“Wow, thank you so much!”

Zhou Le didn't expect that he would encounter such a good thing after taking a few days off.

But he thought again, these people have a considerable number of fans. Instead of just asking them to help promote on Weibo, it would be better to invite them offline.

"Thank you so much, brothers. Why don't you all come to the promotional ceremony before the movie is released? You can even go on stage and say a few words. I'll entertain you then."

"That's fine, brothers. If it's a bother, forget it. We usually just do live streaming and have fun, so there's not much else to do."

"That's ok, come on then. I'll talk to the director later and arrange a special show for you. Anyone who can come can come. I just don't know many people in the e-sports circle here."

"Brother Le, since you said so, I'll take on this matter for you. How many people do you need? I'll find them for you. I guarantee they'll all be top-tier esports streamers. Of course, if you want to find other top streamers, that's fine too. I'll call them later."

"It's up to you. Any number of people will do. After all, when it comes to movie promotion, the more the better."

"Okay, leave this to me."

The next day, PDD drove over personally to take Zhou Le and Wang Junkai to the airport.

"Brother, I came in a hurry this time and didn't bring any gifts for you. Next time we get together, you must let me treat you well."

"It's all easy to say."

After entering the airport, Zhou Le called Jiaozi again.

He mentioned that he had invited a group of top e-sports anchors to help promote the movie.

"Okay, I'll make the arrangements then."

"Well, I'll leave this matter to you. I'll transfer the money to you after I get my new salary."

"That's fine, Brother Le. However, this money will be counted as part of the investment. I have a feeling that Nezha's box office will reach at least 2.5 billion. I'll definitely let you make more money then. After all, you've been busy finding so many people and promoting Nezha so much."

"It's okay, just take care of it yourself."

On the other side, Jiaozi felt like he had been dreaming for the past six months.

The reason we first met was because Zhou Le did some dubbing in his own movie in order to raise funds for the crew of "The Wandering Earth". Who would have thought that after more than half a year, Zhou Le had invested so much money and put so much effort into publicity.

At present, the publicity efforts for "Nezha" have exceeded his personal expectations by dozens of times.

If all of it were converted into money, it would be at least tens of millions. After all, the appearance fees of the people Zhou Le invited through his connections are almost enough to cover the initial investment in "Nezha".

After talking with Jiaozi, Zhou Le called Liu Weiqiang again. Now the filming of "The Captain" in Wuxi has been almost completed, and the next step is to move to Chengdu for filming.

So Zhou Le doesn't need to go to the crew during this period, everyone can just meet up in Chengdu.

When he arrived in Chengdu, Zhou Le only had some literary scenes left, most of which were romantic scenes.

So at noon that morning, he and Wang Junkai drove to Chengdu together. Wang Junkai went to work, while Zhou Le was driven directly back to their label by Wang Yitai.

Everyone here knew that Zhou Le was coming over today, so except for those who had performances outside, everyone came to the company.

Looking at the people in front of him, Zhou Le suddenly felt as if he had entered a large gang scene. Because it was summer, everyone was dressed casually, mostly in short-sleeved shirts and shorts, and some even wore vests.

Of all the exposed skin, 80% that Zhou Le could see was tattoos.

But I have to say that these rappers are really passionate and the emotional value is maximized on the spot.

Everyone said that when the movie was released, they must go to the cinema to book out the entire theater.

"Thank you, thank you brothers. I'll treat you today, but I don't know much about Chengdu. Otherwise, brothers, please recommend a restaurant and we can go out and get together."

But when Xie Di heard this, he immediately waved his hand and said, "Teacher Zhou, isn't that slapping me in the face? You've come all the way here, how can I expect you to pay for everything? Let me arrange all the activities for the next few days. Brother Le, you don't have to pay a penny for the food, drinks, and entertainment. I want you to feel the passion of rappers from our Sichuan and Chongqing region."

Zhou Le really couldn't persuade the other party, so he had to agree.

Of course, although Xie Di arranged all of Zhou Le's future expenses and entertainment activities, Zhou Le only went to healthy places.

It’s okay to eat, just eat by yourselves, brothers.

Singing is fine, but you have to go to a karaoke bar.

You can go to nightclubs, but you can have fun there and not call girls.

You can go watch the performance, but since you are in Chengdu, you must go see the classic Sichuan Opera.

The rest of the day was spent visiting tourist attractions, such as the Wuhou Temple and the Panda Base. After strolling around the city, they went to Qingcheng Mountain, Dujiangyan, and also took a look at the Wenchuan ruins.

Wang Yitai accompanied him throughout the trip.

Others also took the time to accompany us to different places, and gave us explanations while we were watching.

"Brother Le, even though many people say that we rappers are uneducated and have low education, honestly, most of those who can write their own lyrics are quite strong, and some of them write very profound lyrics."

Zhou Le nodded. After getting in touch with it, he found that it was indeed the case. But it might be due to the culture of the circle. Zhou Le was not really interested in battles and diss.

"Of course, there are indeed quite a few people who are very good at it."

When Wang Yitai said this, he laughed.

Basically, after being in the circle for a long time, everyone knows who is capable and who is not.

"Anyway, I don't know many people, but you're definitely amazing. And Ai'er, oh yeah, there's also Boss Xie's original song, "I'm not going to work tomorrow." I used to listen to it all the time."

After playing in Chengdu for a few days, the entire crew moved here.

Zhou Le naturally joined the crew again, but Liu Weiqiang also knew that Zhou Le was very busy during this period, so he was very considerate and finished filming Zhou Le's scenes first, and then held a wrap-up party for Zhou Le.

"Congratulations, Mr. Zhou, on finishing the filming. If you have time in the future, you can come and visit me."

"Congratulations on wrapping up. Remember to let me know when your movie is released."

"Zhou Le, although the film has been completed and the previous scenes are basically fine, the film will be released before the New Year. I want to avoid the Spring Festival and Lunar New Year periods as much as possible, so I'll have to ask you to help promote it later."

"No problem, Director Liu. I'll do whatever you decide how to promote it and ensure it's done effectively."

"Haha, that's good. But I've also heard about Nezha. When you guys post something on Weibo, I'll repost it as well, just to show my support."

"Thank you, Director Liu."

After Zhou Le finished his work here, he immediately went to the variety show that Su Yingxia had arranged for him some time ago.

I am the actor's peak showdown.
