"Custard buns? What custard buns! " Ji Lin ate his breakfast while listening to his assistant, Xiao Ai, tell him about the netizens' reactions after the broadcast of "Thoughtless Challenge" yesterday. When he heard that his name and Siyu's name were on the hot search list, Ji Lin couldn't help but smile. However, when he heard that his fans compared him to a custard bun, the kind that was filled with filling, his smile suddenly stiffened.
Young Master Ji silently lowered his head and looked at the custard bun in his hand. He suddenly couldn't eat it.
It's all these fans' fault. What kind of lousy comparison is this? It doesn't match my image at all! Speaking of which, his fans have always been known to dote on their idols in the entertainment industry. Why haven't I felt it recently? These people don't just dote on him. They even have fun criticizing him!
Xiao Ai glanced at him and thought, It's not the netizens' fault. Who asked Brother Ji to be so cowardly in front of Sister Siyu? Like a lackey. The handsome and aloof image you created in the past is shattered into pieces when you meet a girl. Who else can they laugh at but you?
However, for the sake of her year-end bonus, not only did Xiao Ai not dare to tell the truth, but she also had to go against her conscience. "No, Brother Ji, you're thinking too much. Everyone is praising you. They're praising you for being gentle and considerate to Sister Siyu."
Once Siyu was involved, Young Master Ji was very easy to coax. Sure enough, Ji Lin immediately turned from grief to joy. "At least they have good taste!"
Xiao Ai: "…" Sigh, there's no saving him.
Generally speaking, when a male and female celebrity like Ji Lin and Siyu appeared on the hot search list together, the team would have to come out and do some public relations. Especially a superstar like Ji Lin, who was even more cautious because once he was involved in a scandal, it would become very troublesome. However, it was obvious that the netizens' focus was completely off this time.
Everyone else took the opportunity to hype a wave of coupling, but these two went to the other extreme — they became popular because of their touching "sibling relationship".
It could be said that they were a mudslide in the entertainment industry.
Xiao Ai looked at this magical trending topic for the whole night and finally decided not to interfere with it. Anyway, it seemed that this wave of popularity had a positive impact on Ji Lin. Moreover, Ji Lin was now in a transition period. It was not enough to rely on his previous cold and aloof persona. Taking advantage of this opportunity, it could make him more approachable and down-to-earth. This would be helpful for his development in the future.
Unlike Xiao Ai's indifferent attitude, Si Yu's assistant, Shen Yue, had been excitedly clinging to Si Yu's shoulder for the entire morning due to the increasing number of searches.
"Sister Siyu," Shen's Shen's's's, Shen's's's's's's's.... Shen Yue's expression could not hide her excitement. She originally thought that Siyu's participation in the "Unthinkable Challenge" was because of Ji Lin. Perhaps the program team would not give her too much screen time. She would be satisfied as long as she could show her face in front of the audience. Who would have thought that after the program was broadcast, her popularity would be the highest!
In the hot search list with Siyu's name, one of them jumped to the first place, and four of them were in the top 50. This result was enough for a new star like her to shine! Moreover, what was even rarer was that the company did not do anything from the beginning to the end. This popularity was all spontaneously pushed by the audience!
In other words, Siyu did not just show her face. She had successfully made the audience remember her as a person!
"It's not good to say too much now. Let the netizens discuss it among themselves. I have more important things to do." Siyu took out the tablet that she had always carried with her and began to draw on it.
Shen Yue was puzzled. More important things? Could it be that she was drawing? But what was the use of drawing? Shouldn't the most important thing to do now be to stabilize the fans or discuss with Ji Lin if they should join forces to create another wave of hype? Speaking of which, the two of them could form a "Crucian Carp" group. The name sounded nice and easy to remember …
Siyu did not know that her little assistant's imagination had started to run wild again. She was concentrating on drawing character sketches. After filming yesterday, she actually went to catch up on the comments on the live-stream. Naturally, she saw the netizens saying that she was sesame fillings and Ji Lin was custard buns. However, Siyu did not forget about it after laughing. She suddenly thought, wasn't this ready-made comic material?!
Her previous "Fashion Strategy" was already in the middle and late stages of its serialization. Originally, Siyu had only intended to be a serialization, so she used a simpler cartoonish drawing style. She did not expect it to become such a hit. Recently, she had been thinking about what to draw for her next comic. See, Ji Lin had delivered himself to her door.
It was decided! She would draw the story of a pair of siblings making a name for themselves in the entertainment industry! The elder sister was a black-bellied and scheming woman, while the younger brother was a naive and sweet custard buns. The two of them debuted as a duo. The elder sister was in charge of playing music, while the younger brother was in charge of singing. Later, the two of them were chosen by a famous director at the same time. They made a name for themselves in the entertainment industry …
With a ready-made template, Siyu was filled with inspiration. She quickly listed out the outline of the story and immediately started drawing the first chapter. During this time, she was so focused on drawing that she did not even hear a knock on the door. Shen Yue looked at her sprawled on the table and shook her head helplessly. She walked over to open the door. The person they were talking about just now was standing outside the door — Ji Lin.
Shen Yue was stunned. Then, she quickly smiled and welcomed him in. Because Siyu's popularity had increased because of him, Shen Yue's actions were more attentive than before. "Brother Ji, why are you here?"
Ji Lin did not reply. Instead, he stretched his neck to look for his elder sister. When he saw Siyu busy at the table, his curiosity was piqued. He slowly and quietly approached her. He originally wanted to sneak a peek at what his elder sister was doing, but Siyu was blocking his view. Ji Lin could not see anything. He could only see that she was holding a pen and seemed to be writing something. He could not help but ask, "Elder Sister, what are you doing?"
Siyu was shocked when she heard his voice. She immediately reacted and closed the laptop. As she turned around, she quietly hid the tablet in her hand and pretended as if nothing had happened. "It's nothing. I'm just studying the script."
How could this silly child walk without making a sound? Fortunately, Ji Lin did not see that she was drawing. Siyu felt a little guilty. It was not that she deliberately hid it from Ji Lin. It was just that it was so fun to see Ji Lin's shocked expression. Moreover, she also liked to share Ji Lin's "dark history" with those cute fans. It was especially interesting.
If Ji Lin found out that she was a koi, not only would she be deprived of this fun, but she was afraid that her image would also be damaged …
Siyu thought without blushing. As an elder sister, she had to maintain a sense of mystery in front of her younger brother. So, about drawing a fake identity … it was better not to talk about it.
Ji Lin had always been very obedient in front of her, so he did not ask any more questions. Instead, he pulled Siyu and started to talk about where to go after filming. He did not know that he had missed a great opportunity.
…
The filming of "Lethal Beauty" was officially completed a month later. Siyu finished filming the last scene where she jumped off a tall building to commit suicide. When she came out after changing into her regular clothes, she saw Director Liang smiling as he gave out red packets to all the staff. She also received a thick one. Director Liang also asked her if she had any plans to act in other movies and said that he could introduce her to other production teams.
Siyu said tactfully, "Director Liang, I want to rest for a while. I have to go to the hospital for a checkup soon."
"Of course, of course." Director Liang liked this kind of hardworking and talented newcomer very much. He was not at all unhappy about being tactfully rejected. He even felt that Siyu knew how to strike a balance between work and rest. She was not eager for quick success, which was very rare. He said cheerfully, "Don't worry. I'll keep an eye out for you. If there's a suitable opportunity, I want to work with you again."
Siyu quickly thanked him.
In fact, when she first joined the cast of "Lethal Beauty", she only played a minor role that appeared for less than two minutes. She did not expect that so many things would happen in the middle. Xu Qingwan was kicked out halfway and she, the third female lead, had to take her place. In the end, she survived to the end. Siyu had been exhausted for the past few months. Her body really could not take it anymore. It was better not to do these things in the future. It was better for her to stay at home and draw with peace of mind.
Next was the post-production of the film. This period of time was equivalent to giving the actors a break. When it was nearing the release date, they would have to go to various places to do road shows. Director Liang even specially instructed Siyu to just choose a few important scenes to do so that she would not be too tired.
The cast and crew dispersed and went back to their own homes. Han Tiantian was very reluctant to part with Siyu, but she had to go back to the company to deal with a series of troublesome matters after leaving the group. She could only reluctantly say goodbye. "Siyu, I won't forget how you kicked me into the pit. It's all your fault for recommending Koi Yu's new book, 'Sesame Milk Filling'. It only has three chapters. Three chapters, and you actually dragged me into the pit just like that! I won't forget about staying up all night to disfigure my face. I'll take revenge next time! "
Siyu: "…" Was it her fault?
Ji Lin: "…" Why was Koi Yu still here?
This "Sesame Milk Filling" was a new comic that Siyu had written based on the memes of the netizens. She did not hide who she was based on, and everyone knew at a glance. Coincidentally, the combination of the two of them, 'Sesame Milk Filling' and 'Sesame Milk Filling', was very popular. As soon as the new comic was released, it became very popular and almost took the entire fanbase by storm.
Everyone realized, What the f * ck, you can play like this?
By the time Ji Lin realized this, it was already too late. At that time, his fans were all spamming [Congratulations, Brother Ji, for your great achievement in comics]. He was so angry that his teeth itched. Thus, he secretly flipped through two pages with the mentality of wanting to see how Koi Yu would defame him.
Then —
Oh my, this Koi Yu still had some good points. His sister was so cute! Her face was cute, her personality was cute, and everything she did was cute. Seeing that Koi Yu had put in so much effort in drawing a character based on his sister, he decided to forgive this person this once.
Young Master Ji secretly added this new comic to his favorites folder and even set a special notification to ensure that he would receive updates immediately. He did not feel that there was anything wrong with this at all.
After filming, Ji Lin naturally flew back to Jiangcheng with Siyu. As soon as they walked out of the airport, the two of them bumped into the subordinates of the Ji family who had come to stop them.
Ji Lin immediately frowned. A trace of impatience flashed across his eyes as he asked coldly, "What are you trying to do? Are you trying to take me home?"
"Young Master, you've misunderstood. We're not here to look for you. We've been entrusted by Madam to invite a guest." Those people were very respectful to Ji Lin, but their eyes were fixed on Siyu. A row of people blocked them from leaving. Although their tone was very polite, there was still a sense of superiority. "Our Madam wants to talk to Miss Zhou. Would it be possible for you to leave?"
