The younger generation, starting from where the wind blows...

Chapter 180 The square-dancing aunties finally made their move on "The Lone Warrior".
For Lu Xiaoshan, who started as a model, skirting the edge of the rules is not a problem.

Just look at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show every year, and you'll know that the modeling industry is the originator of skirting the rules.

What Lu Xiaoshan is currently struggling with is actually the first question Yang Muye raised.

She wants to become an online influencer who owns a wedding dress shop.

Or perhaps I should just become the owner of a trendy wedding dress shop.

If you're determined to take the borderline route, then you can forget about having both.

impossible.

No normal couple would choose a wedding dress shop run by a female internet celebrity who is only involved in the scandal to order their wedding dress.

At the very least, the woman would definitely not be happy.

Even if both of them are willing, what will their family and friends think if they find out?
Just like those borderline guesthouse owners in Yang Muye's previous life videos, they were either single or divorced, changing different styles of stockings every day to gain traffic, but none of them actually made their guesthouse business successful.

To put it bluntly, these people are all aiming to become internet celebrities; opening a shop is just part of their persona.

Lu Xiaoshan quickly made a decision.

"Mr. Yang, if I want to open a trendy wedding dress shop, how do I do it?"

She asked humbly.

“I know the wedding dress industry is very competitive. If you don’t want to compete on price, you can only rely on excellent design and brand. But Mr. Lu’s store probably doesn’t have those. So my suggestion is to switch to a different market and focus on the middle-aged and elderly market.”

Yang Muye's words not only stunned Lu Xiaoshan, but also left Wang Jingming, who was standing to the side, completely bewildered.

The number of middle-aged and elderly people who get married is probably only a fraction of the number of people who get married at the normal age, and most of them are remarriages.

At this age, many people don't even have a wedding ceremony; they just get a marriage certificate and that's it.

Who goes to all the trouble of organizing a wedding ceremony?

Before Lu Xiaoshan could raise any questions, Yang Muye's voice rang out first.

"Don't get me wrong, the middle-aged and elderly market I'm referring to is the parents of both the newlyweds and their spouses. While their children wear wedding dresses and suits, the parents also have a need to dress smartly and presentably, don't they?"

Lu Xiaoshan and Wang Jingming exchanged a glance.

Nowadays, everyone's attention is focused on the bride, groom, bridesmaids, and groomsmen's attire, leaving a gap in the wardrobes for parents' weddings.

Regardless of what Lu Xiaoshan thought, Wang Jingming had already decided to add this content to the list of services recommended to clients when he got back.

Lu Xiaoshan was wondering if his parents' wedding attire could also be considered a similar item.

"Let's imagine this scenario: when a newlywed couple is kneeling and offering tea to their parents at home, the mother-in-law or mother-in-law is dressed more beautifully and attracts more attention than the bride. Wouldn't this contrast greatly satisfy everyone's curiosity?"

Yang Muye clearly remembered that in his previous life, he would occasionally come across videos like this while scrolling through short videos.

When the newlyweds knelt down to serve tea, the camera focused on the parents. The mother was young and beautiful, and her figure and temperament completely outshone the bride.

Any normal man would be unable to help but envy the father in the video.

His children are all married, and his wife is still so young and beautiful—he's a true winner in life.

Only after seriously investigating the true identity of this beautiful mother did they realize they had been fooled by the "veteran actress".

It's no wonder that people in their twenties playing mothers-in-law or grandmothers in their forties or fifties are so eye-catching.

The "veteran actor" made these videos to promote middle-aged women's clothing.

Lu Xiaoshan had only ever heard of old cucumbers painted green to look young.

This is the first time I've ever heard of someone voluntarily pretending to be old.

Still hesitating, Yang Muye added another sentence.

"Anyone who studies journalism knows that dog bites man is not news, man bites dog is. It's the same with being an internet celebrity. If you want to become famous and go viral, you have to learn to be abstract."

That's all for this.

Anyway, the path has already been shown to Lu Xiaoshan; whether she takes it or not is her own business.

Lu Xiaobei was the first to stand up and express his support, even though he had been the most vehement opponent of Yang Muye.

"Sister, I think Mr. Yang's idea is great. The video will definitely go viral."

Lu Xiaoshan rolled his eyes at Lu Xiaobei, annoyed.

I only just realized I should address him as "General Manager Yang".

Where did your integrity go?

Wang Jingming also chimed in, "President Lu, give me a straight answer. If you're not going to do it, I'll find someone else."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Hu Ling's sarcastic voice rang out.

"Look how impatient you are. Don't you just want to play the new dad in the video and become the envy of everyone?"

Wang Jingming was stunned, looking utterly dejected.

When did she ever say she wanted to play a married couple with Lu Xiaoshan?

"My daughter is only in kindergarten. Do I look that old?"

“I think it’s quite suitable. Mr. Wang looks older than his age. I think even when you’re in your forties or fifties, you won’t look much different from how you look now.”

Yang Muye suddenly commented.

These words left Wang Jingming speechless.

Is this a compliment or an insult?

Hu Ling added insult to injury: "What, you think it's beneath you to play husband and wife with such a beautiful woman like President Lu?"

Wang Jingming immediately clarified: "I was afraid people would misunderstand. It doesn't matter to me, a divorced old man, but President Lu is not married yet."

Hu Ling retorted sarcastically, "If even President Lu isn't afraid, what are you afraid of? Besides, it's better if it's a misunderstanding. Do you think your ex-wife will be furious if she sees this video abroad? She'll divorce you, and then you'll immediately find someone younger and prettier than her."

Wang Jingming raised his hand, signaling Hu Ling to stop.

Unexpectedly, Lu Xiaoshan joined in the commotion, saying, "If I'm lucky enough to have the opportunity to work with President Wang, I'd be willing to give it a try."

Hu Ling took it upon herself to make the decision for Wang Jingming, saying, "That's settled then."

Hu Ling would support anything that could result in severe revenge against Wang Jingming's ex-wife.

At this moment, Lu Xiaobei suddenly spoke up.

"Mr. Yang, do you think I have the potential to become an internet celebrity?"

Without hesitation, Yang Muye replied, "You can play the groom in your sister's video."

Lu Xiaobei was stunned.

According to Yang Muye's statement, the camera was pointed at the groom's parents when the video was filmed.

The groom doesn't even show his face, what's the point?
"Mr. Yang, what I mean is, I can also make those kinds of prank videos like those of the 'Plastic Brothers' internet celebrities."

Yang Muyi glanced at Lu Xiaobei, who had volunteered herself.

"Those people online who imitate the Plastic Brothers think the same way, but have any of them actually become famous? Besides, the Starry Sea already has the Plastic Brothers, why would we support a competitor to cause internal conflict?"

Lu Xiaobei had a quick idea.

“It’s not about internal friction. President Yang studied management, so he must know about the catfish effect invented by Norwegian fishermen. I can be that catfish.”

"Let me correct two common-sense mistakes you made."

Yang Muyi looked at Lu Xiaobei with a serious expression: "First of all, Norway is in the North Atlantic, where there are no catfish at all, and Norwegian fishermen have never heard of this story."

"Secondly, the vigorous activity of fish consumes a lot of oxygen in the water. Keeping sardines still is the best way to ensure their survival. There is no need for catfish to interfere."

Looking at the dumbfounded Lu Xiaobei, Yang Muyi concluded, "I suggest you read less magazines like 'Yilin' and 'Reader,' especially those with foreign stories, which are basically all made up."

Seeing Lu Xiaobei's dumbfounded expression, Hu Ling's eyes seemed to stir.

Although Lu Xiaobei was discouraged by the rejection, at least he didn't embarrass himself as much as when he had begged Lu Xiaoshan to bring him here.

If you can't become an internet celebrity, you can at least be friends with one, right?

“Mr. Yang, one of my roommates is a die-hard fan of the 'Plastic Brothers' group. His biggest wish is to become friends with them. Could you introduce us? Your contact information would be great too.” Yang Muye laughed: “The guy you’re talking about isn’t yourself, is it?”

Lu Xiaobei immediately clarified: "Absolutely not. He sat at the same table with me last night, Mr. Yang, you still remember him, right?"

"Guan Yuqing's younger brother?"

Last night, Guan Yuqing sent a text message to Yang Muye, explaining why she and her brother were at the wedding banquet.

Yang Muyi only saw the text message this morning.

"Yes, his name is Guan Zhenlei. He's in the same dorm as me. We even thought about forming a group like the Plastic Brothers. We even came up with a name: West City Boys."

Yang Muye asked casually:
"Studied with the boys from the back dormitory?"

Lu Xiaobei nodded.

The Back Dorm Boys paid tribute to the Backstreet Boys.

Westlife is paying tribute to Westlife.

Of course, there is another reason: Yanjingmao is located in Xicheng District.

"Don't you think this name sounds too much like a knock-off?"

Hu Ling couldn't help but ask.

Lu Xiaobei scratched the back of her head, looking embarrassed.

The boys and brothers are all "taken," so only the boys can still be used.

Hu Ling looked at Yang Muye, about to speak.

Yang Muye's voice rang out first.

"Your friend is looking for your 'plastic brother' for something, right?"

Lu Xiaobei was stunned again.

Seeing that Yang Muye had already guessed it, Lu Xiaobei simply told him everything.

Yang Muyi was speechless when he learned that his "Plastic Brothers" series was being urged to update by a group of square-dancing aunties.

Hu Ling took the opportunity to remind Yang Muyi that while the Plastic Brothers' "Little Apple" square dance video was popular, there were also some criticisms online.

Especially since the video was filmed in a public open space in the residential area, some people started to spread rumors that this was an attempt to whitewash the noise pollution caused by square dancing.

If the "Plastic Brothers" continue making square dance videos, it's inevitable that people will use them for their own purposes.

Hu Ling suggested abandoning the square dancing series and returning to the campus.

Yang Muye's idea was exactly the opposite.

This must be addressed head-on.

Release another square dance video so those haters will have nothing left to criticize.

Hu Ling was shocked when she learned of Yang Muye's idea.

"You've written a new song?"

"No, I'm planning to have the Plastic Brothers parody 'The Lone Warrior' again."

A square dance version of "The Lone Warrior"?
Hu Ling automatically imagined the scene and found it unbearable to look at!

"Are you changing the lyrics again this time?"

She asked with deep doubt.

"No, this time I recomposed the music, only keeping the original lyrics of 'The Lone Warrior'."

Yang Muye's words immediately aroused Hu Ling's suspicion.

She doesn't know how to write songs, but she understands Yang Muye.

Rather than recomposing, it's more like writing a new song and then "grafting" the melody onto "The Lone Warrior".

Under Hu Ling's persistent questioning, Yang Muyi finally admitted the existence of the new song.

When asked about the name of his new song and the inspiration behind it, Yang Muyi hesitated for a moment.

"When I was creating this song, 'The Most Dazzling Ethnic Style,' I was inspired by the singing style of Phoenix Legend. After I finished writing the melody, I accidentally discovered that the lyrics of 'The Lone Warrior' actually matched, so I wanted to see what the effect would be when I sang it."

Hu Ling was speechless after hearing this.

What other effect could it have?
It's definitely a case of both new and old songs being ruined.

But if you don't feel sorry for the song, this hybrid song "The Most Dazzling Lone Warrior" would be a perfect match if it were sung by the Plastic Brothers, who are good at parody.

"Have the Plastic Brothers contact the nine square dancing aunties who filmed the video with them before. This time, the same team will be used for the video, but the filming location will be changed to a park. In the video, they will call on all elderly people who dance in the square to keep the volume within a reasonable range and not cause noise pollution."

The scope of the discussion immediately broadened.

Hu Ling nodded and was about to call Xu Kaiyang and Zhang Kai.

Lu Xiaobei volunteered to step forward, saying he could contact the group of square-dancing aunties.

How do you know those square dancing aunties?

The person who raised the question was Lu Xiaoshan.

She stared at Lu Xiaobei with a suspicious look and asked.

“I definitely don’t know them, but Zhenlei does. They asked him for help, so he must have their contact information.”

Lu Xiaobei insisted.

Anyone with eyes can see that Lu Xiaobei is still not giving up and wants to take this opportunity to get on board with the "plastic brother".

Lu Xiaoshan wanted to help, but she couldn't get a word in edgewise with Yang Muye.

At this moment, Hu Ling turned to look at Yang Muye:
"The show 'Spicy Neighbors' needs four main actors, why not let these two try acting with our plastic brothers?"

The original plan was for Old Boys and Plastic Brothers to star in "Spicy Neighbors".

However, after learning that Yang Muyi had also prepared a short film and a feature film specifically for Old Boys.

Hu Ling clearly told Yang Muye.

If Old Boys plans to move into the film industry, then they can no longer be cast in web series.

After all, movies and TV series are two distinct circles, and the roles of actors are also different.

With Old Boys' departure, two lead roles in "Spicy Neighbors" are now vacant.

Lu Xiaobei and Guan Zhenlei are both from art colleges, so they could easily play roommates of the "plastic brothers" in the drama.

After considering it seriously for a few seconds, Yang Muyi looked up at Lu Xiaobei and asked, "Could you call your roommate over to meet us?"

can!
So powerful!
Lu Xiaobei took out her phone and immediately called Guan Zhenlei.

Wang Jingming knew that what happened next had nothing to do with him, so he took his leave after sitting for a while.

Lu Xiaobei took the opportunity to sit down in the empty seat left by Wang Jingming, and waved to Lu Xiaoshan as if shooing away flies.

"Sis, we still have important business to discuss here in a bit, you should go too."

Lu Xiaoshan's beautiful eyes widened in surprise.

Without me, you wouldn't even be able to see Yang Muye.

Now they actually think I'm in their way.

Seeing Lu Xiaoshan's furious expression, Lu Xiaobei felt secretly delighted.

You used me to get rid of me after you had crossed the river and then burned me.

Now you can taste the same flavor too.

Just then, Guan Zhenlei arrived, and Lu Xiaobei immediately stood up and waved vigorously.

"Here it is!"
