A Top-Tier Life Begins with Sarcastic Phrases

Chapter 69 The Unusual Couple (Third Update, Please Vote!)

Xiaotian was busy until the early hours of the morning before returning to the hotel, and he was completely exhausted!

"I'm so tired!"

"I really want to eat hot pot!"

"But, going to Paris to film a variety show with that narcissist, it's worth it even if it's tiring~"

Thinking of this, Xiao Tian smiled sweetly, her dimples particularly charming: "Gu Yun, you owe me so many hot pot meals, I've got it~"

That's right, she also received an invitation to the variety show "Let's Go Now 2".

There are two reasons. First, she and Gu Yun have a lot of fans who ship them as a couple online.

Secondly, Gu Yun casually recommended Xiao Tian to Wang Hailong.

After careful consideration, Wang Hailong decided to invite Xiaotian to record an episode.

Actually, the company's agent suggested that we could go another time.

After all, filming in Paris for about fifteen days would affect the shooting schedule.

Bai Jingting, who is also a regular guest on "Let's Go Now 2" and the male lead of "Qingqing's Daily Life", took leave.

He has to shuttle between two film sets, so he really can't find the time.

But Tian Xiwei still wanted to record a variety show.

With Gu Yun, that narcissist, and his old friend Wang An around, this trip to Paris is sure to be very interesting.

So, she first pleaded and begged until she got her agent's consent!

"As long as you promise it won't affect the filming schedule, then you can go and record."

After finally getting her agent's approval, Xiaotian then negotiated with the director to squeeze out a little more time each day to film her own scenes.

Fortunately, Xiaotian's scenes were all filmed in Hengdian, so there was no need to change locations. In addition, the director had some connections with Wang Hailong, so he agreed.

And so began Oda's overtime work career~

"Eh?"

While scrolling through WeChat, Xiao Tian noticed Gu Yun's post: "Ninefold Purple has aired yet?"

"We must support this!!"

Tian Xiwei forwarded Gu Yun's post on WeChat Moments. While picking up her takeout from the door, she opened her tablet and started watching Gu Yun's dramas.

Wow~~

Xiao Tian didn't have much of an appetite for those green vegetable leaves at first, but after seeing Gu Yun's princely appearance in the opening of the first season, she happily ate a big mouthful of rice: "He looks so handsome in ancient costume!"

As she spoke, Xiaotian recalled the scene from the first time she recorded "Let's Go Traveling," where Gu Yun lifted her by the buttocks as she walked out of the water.

"Oh dear, no, no, get out of here!!"

Xiaotian shook her head, her cheeks flushed. She said she didn't want to, but her mind was honest and she couldn't help herself.

Wait until you finish watching the two episodes of the TV series.

Xiao Tian also saw the scene in the post-credits scene where Dou Zhao, played by Meng Ziyi, bumped into Gu Yun's arms, and felt a pang of sadness.

They're a perfect match!

[Oh my god, I strongly suggest to the director! Let the Crown Prince and Dou Zhao film another historical drama!]

Director Zeng, don't force me to kneel down and beg you!

"They are indeed a good match—but he and I are a good match too!"

Looking at the dense barrage of CP (couple) fan comments, Xiaotian suddenly remembered that Gu Yun had said before that he would take on a leading role in a drama after finishing filming Joy of Life 2!

By then, I had probably finished filming my own "Qingqing Daily Life" series.

Maybe I can act in a movie with him~

"I was the first female lead that Gu Yun acted alongside on screen~~"

Xiaotian smiled slyly, her big, watery eyes blinking, like a clever-looking calico cat.

The next day, Zeng Qingjie received the latest data from Tencent Video!

【Ninefold Purple】Topped the list of trending shows on Tencent Video with an absolute advantage!

However, the pairings that the audience is shipping are a bit strange.

I don't ship the male and female leads; instead, I'm drawn to the female lead and a supporting character, the prince, who dies in the first episode.

"Isn't this pairing a bit off?"

The assistant handed the compiled data to Zeng Qingjie, both amused and exasperated: "The popularity of the CP (couple pairing) of Teacher Gu and Teacher Meng is dozens of times higher than that of the main couple."

"It's alright."

Zeng Qingjie was grinning from ear to ear. The show had stormed to number one on all three charts on its first day of airing—the data was phenomenal! Other shows airing at the same time were probably crying their eyes out. "By the way, have you sent the promotional videos for Xiao Gu and Ziyi yet?"

"It's been sent."

The assistant opened the video on the computer for Zeng Qingjie to watch.

"Great! The two of them recorded this together, and they're both wearing period costumes. This video is excellent!"

Zeng Qingjie watched it a second time and suddenly noticed a blind spot: "Why is Xiao Gu only showing the left half of his face? Ziyi is also wearing a high-necked dress — never mind, let's leave it as it is."

"Give the video to the publicity department and have them edit it properly before releasing it while it's still hot."

After saying that, Zeng Qingjie prepared to go to sleep. He had been sitting up all night waiting for the data, and he was really sleepy now.

"Hey—Director, you haven't watched the promotional video that Teacher Li Yunrui sent you yet."

"Oh, right, right, right!"

Zeng Qingjie slapped his forehead, realizing he had completely forgotten about the male lead: "Never mind, just watch it once, and if you think it's alright, then hand it over to the publicity department."

Assistant: "————Oh, okay."

Why?

"Why are Gu Yun and Meng Ziyi's characters used in the promotional video, and mine? I'm the male lead!"

Li Yunrui stared at the latest video posted by the official Weibo account of [Ninefold Purple], his face turning ashen!

His first leading role in a drama!

I was hoping to use this drama to solidify my position as a third-tier, yet potentially breakout star, and maybe even break into the first or second tier. But I didn't even get a mention of myself on Weibo's trending topics!

The top four spots were taken by Joy of Life 2, three by [Ninefold Purple], and of the remaining three, two were firmly held by Xiao Zhan, and the last one belonged to Meng Ziyi, who had nothing!

Not only is he not trending on social media, but now even in promotional videos, he's being singled out!

The assistant tried to calm him down: "Don't get agitated, don't get agitated, boss."

How could I not be excited?

Li Yunrui rubbed his stiff face and said weakly, "Everyone knows how I got my 'third-tier breakout' title!"

"Now that 'Fengshen 2' has been condemned as a terrible drama, my golden skin is rotten. Without any other works, what kind of third-tier production am I?"

crunch.

The office door was pushed open, and Li Yunrui's agent walked in.

"Brother Yong, the [Ninefold Purple] production team has gone too far. They deserve an explanation!"

Li Yunrui went to greet him, suppressing his emotions.

"What explanation should we give?"

Li Yong adjusted his glasses and stared at Li Yunrui with a hint of exasperation: "I've already let you act recklessly once before!"

"You said you'd pay to buy dirt on Gu Yun, and I did, but what was the result? Your stupid act actually paved the way for Gu Yun's advancement!"

Li Yong certainly wouldn't give Li Yunrui a friendly look!

Originally, Li Yunrui was filming quietly, but after the filming of "Ninefold Purple" wrapped up, the company spent money to promote him and Meng Ziyi as a couple!

By riding on Meng Ziyi's popularity, he can maintain his position as a third-tier player, and even break into the second tier is not out of the question.

But Li Yunrui insists on stepping on Gu Yun!

An insignificant supporting character.
