business couple dancing

Life is full of surprises.Lu Xiumu never thought that the topic of Rumu Chunfeng would be out of the circle because of fans.

The entries posted in the middle of the night quickly attracted a large number of passersby watching the excitement. While netizens were ridiculing dandelions and holidays, Xinglan's electronic journal stood out with the advantage of faults.

And the feedback to Lu Xiumu was that he gained nearly 50 followers overnight.This can't help but make him feel that this wave of marketing has lost a lot. Originally, CP was fired to wash away a group of brain-dead fans, but in the end it turned Duwei into a sugar-eating girl.

What worries him even more is the issue of the unbundling of Spring Breeze-the company's executives will not let go of such a hot bonus easily.

When he was bored, he clicked on Xinglan's material video.He really wants to know how capable the post-production staff are in order to dance CP so well.

The video is only 2 minutes long, the first half is the tidbits of their shooting process, and the second half is the real material.

It should be Gao Xin and Xinglan who greeted each other, so all the unfamiliar words of the two were cut off.After a fancy transition, the screen turned black, followed by a voiceover——

Actor Qiu: What position do you play?

Lu Xiumu: Help me.

Assistant Mu Mu: Didn’t brother only play the jungle position?

Lu Xiumu: I don't really care about winning or losing when I play games, I just want to play with my friends.

The voice had been edited and noise was added, so it was hard to hear clearly, but Xinglan "smartly" added words to perfectly tamper with the events.

Obviously, they are all what they said, but if the order is changed, the meaning conveyed to the public will completely change.

Lu Xiumu suddenly felt very boring.From the first day he entered the circle, he knew that in the future, the three words "Lu Xiumu" would only be a "commodity" jointly marketed by dozens of people. Promote it a lot.

And Lu Xiumu himself only needs to pretend in front of the camera.

Very relaxed, but also like a marionette without thinking ability.

But he also understands that everything he owns now is eating the profits from being popular, so he can play the role of "Lu Xiumu" well without any complaints.

However, people have been controlled for a long time, and they will always have the idea of ​​​​"resistance" unconsciously.

His first resistance was to join the "pheromone appeasement" medical project behind the company's back, and the second may be this long-planned "transformation".

Especially when he realized that he fell in love with Dandelion, Lu Xiumu became more and more eager to get rid of the word "flow", and kept making requests with the company to "flash CP and wash fans".

Finally, things have progressed a small step in the expected direction, but the irony is that this staged "victory" is still "cheat".

The absurd reality gave Lu Xiumu a head-on blow. He lowered his eyes and swiped the screen with his fingers.Unintentionally, I clicked on the following related video - it was the replay of Qiu Xingfeng's interview in the afternoon.

On the screen, the host and Qiu Xingfeng shook hands politely, and joked: "Before the interview starts, I would like to verify with Emperor Actor Qiu something that the audience in the live broadcast room is very concerned about."

"You ask." Qiu Xingfeng nodded slightly.

"According to reliable sources, Lu Xiumu came to visit the class?"

"Yeah." Qiu Xingfeng was frank and natural, "We made an appointment for dinner in the evening, and he happened to be free in the afternoon, so he came here early and waited for me."

The host gave an exaggerated "wow": "So the spring breeze is real?"

Qiu Xingfeng laughed: "I'm not quite sure what you mean by 'true', but Xiu Mu and I have known each other for a long time. At least in my heart, he is a very 'true' friend."

Everything that happened next was within Lu Xiumu's expectations. The host seemed to have picked up some explosive news, and repeatedly asked the details of the two people's "acquaintance", and Qiu Xingfeng also cooperated to answer them one by one.

At this time, Lu Xiumu was really not in the mood to listen to these false stories, and was about to turn off the video when the host changed his voice and focused all his attention on Qiu Xingfeng.

"Now there is a very strange saying in the circle. Everyone says that Qiu Yingdi is the No. 1 Buddhist, and he doesn't care whether he is popular or not. Regarding this statement, what do you think?"

"I don't agree with every word." Qiu Xingfeng vetoed it very simply, "I don't quite know what I did to leave such a ridiculous impression on the public."

"That is to say, you really want to be popular?" the host pressed.

"Yes, why don't you want to be popular?" Qiu Xingfeng said, "If you are a student, then you must want to pass the No.1 exam with hard work; if you are a worker, you must also want to be rewarded by the leader."

"This is the most normal phenomenon in the social environment. As a star, the word 'everyone's name' is the highest praise for me." Qiu Xingfeng shrugged, "As long as it is a public figure, it can be as big as an actor or as small as Internet celebrity, who really doesn’t want to be popular? If you really think that being “popular” is a troublesome thing, you wouldn’t choose to enter this industry in the first place.”

The host nodded in agreement, and asked again: "Will you give up some principles for the sake of popularity? For example, deliberately cater to the audience."

Lu Xiumu's fingertip that pressed the "×" button completely slipped down. This question was quite sharp and sensitive, and even he who was off-screen couldn't help sweating for Qiu Xingfeng.

On the other hand, Qiu Xingfeng looked relaxed: "You will inevitably give up some things. You can say that you are pandering, or you can say that you are hiding a part of yourself."

The host immediately seized the loopholes in his words and asked sharply: "This is equivalent to deceiving fans."

"If you insist on rising to the moral level, then I really have no power to refute." Qiu Xingfeng paused, "But no one will completely reveal themselves in front of the public. Because of sexual orientation, family status, special hobbies, etc., we When interacting with others, you will always keep your bottom line. For example, you are a homosexual, but you will never announce your "abnormality" to your colleagues and classmates in a high-profile manner; if you had an unhappy childhood , and will not just grab a passer-by and pour out his distress to him."

The host was amused by him: "If you really do this, the other party will think you are sick."

"That's right. To be honest, I don't care about the experience of those irrelevant people at all." Qiu Xingfeng said.

"But to the fans, you are not an unrelated person, they want to know everything about you." The host insisted, "Your concealment is an unforgivable deception."

"Then I just need to make my stand-up character never fall down."

Sensing the host's puzzled gaze, Qiu Xingfeng continued to explain: "Suppose the company gave me a 'Quit Smoking Ambassador' character design, then even if I smoke, I will never take out a cigarette in front of the public and the camera; If the company set me up as an 'innocent and ignorant' character, then even if I really fall in love, I won't let any paparazzi take a photo of the scandal."

"As long as fans like the character design that I market, I will definitely interpret this image to perfection."

The host didn't expect him to speak so boldly, and he was stunned for a few seconds before answering: "Actor Qiu is so real..."

Qiu Xingfeng raised his eyebrows: "Perhaps 'uprightness' is a script set by the company for my people, that's why I say such things now."

The host was choked and speechless, and Lu Xiumu outside the screen was also stunned.

Qiu Xingfeng's words made him deeply aware that the other party had an unusual understanding of the identity of an "actor".He regards acting as something that comes at his fingertips, so he can maintain his "personality" in front of people without any burden.

Even for Qiu Xingfeng, this is something to enjoy.

Lu Xiumu couldn't help recalling all kinds of things between the two of them. He couldn't tell whether he had peeled off Qiu Xingfeng's body called "human design" in the past few days.

The voice of the host brought Lu Xiumu's attention back to the screen again, and he asked, "Will it be tiring to keep doing this?"

"There is always a price to pay for being popular." Qiu Xingfeng joked, "It depends on whether you think it's worth it or not."

"Since you think so clearly, why haven't you taken on a new show for two years?" The host said, "At first your fans thought you didn't care if you were popular or not, so it's normal not to take on a show...Obviously they thought wrong."

Halfway through the interview, perhaps only this question really touched Qiu Xingfeng's sore spot.He lowered his eyes and was silent for a short moment: "The condition is not good."

Host: "What...what?"

"I haven't been in a good state in the past two years. My last film was a literary film, and the tone of the film was also very depressing, which prevented me from acting." Qiu Xingfeng said sincerely, "Even I have been in the film for a long time. psychological counseling."

The host didn't expect to hear such a reason at all, and murmured: "Then...you now?"

"There is no problem at all." Qiu Xingfeng smiled, "By the way, I will advertise through your platform. I hope that the directors who are preparing new films can consider me. I am also looking forward to winning the three gold medal winners next year."

The host also breathed a sigh of relief: "I wish Qiu Yingdi the best of luck in advance."

"Thank you for your blessings."

……

Lu Xiumu turned off the video silently. He stared at the blacked-out screen for a long time, and it was difficult to express his feelings clearly in words.

Knowing that the relationship between him and Qiu Xingfeng is all fake, but after reading the fan comments all night, it is inevitable that they will affect his mood.

The dense barrage of "good match" and "together" gave Lu Xiumu an illusion in a trance-his relationship with Qiu Xingfeng seemed to become familiar in the words of one after another.

But this interview brought him back to reality.

The reality is that he and Qiu Xingfeng have only known each other for a short dozen days, and he doesn't know the experience of that actor at all.I don't know how many depressing and boring nights Qiu Xingfeng has survived during the two years of silence.

Lu Xiumu clicked on WeChat, and stared at Qiu Xingfeng's profile picture with big eyes.He wanted to say something but didn't know what to say, so he could only poke into the dialog box repeatedly.

What makes him even more uncomfortable is that the other party's nickname is Dandelion... two people who are clearly unrelated, Lu Xiumu inexplicably feels that there is a slight overlap between them——

The irony is that this slight overlap stems from his unfamiliarity with the two.Whether it is Dandelion or Qiu Xingfeng, Lu Xiumu is just an ordinary friend who can chat a few more words.

That's it.

In the end, like a deflated ball, Lu Xiumu changed Qiu Xingfeng's remark to "Big Movie King".To his surprise, the dialog box between the two suddenly changed to "The other party is typing..."

Lu Xiumu suddenly opened his eyes wide, and a few seconds later, the other party's news came——

[Big Movie King]: It seems that I haven't apologized to you yet.

[Big Movie King]: I'm really sorry, it was my fault when I said that your acting skills were not good.At that time, my mentality was unstable, and I just watched an edited clip on the Internet before making rash remarks. I overstepped it.

Lu Xiumu's heart beat faster, and he had already started to conceive generous and polite words of forgiveness in his mind, and the third message popped up again.

[Big Movie King]: So I just finished watching that boring school drama, and even went to see a movie you made some time ago.I just want to say that you are really bad at acting.

Lu Xiumu's fingers froze, and the smile that hadn't shown yet froze on his face.

Why on earth did he still have expectations for Qiu Xingfeng?

While scolding himself for not having a long memory, Lu Xiumu wondered how feasible it would be to blackmail Qiu Xingfeng.

[Big Movie King]: But I am a person who is willing to help others. If there is a chance, let's work together in the next film.I will personally teach you what actor-level acting skills are.

Lu Xiumu stared at the screen for a while, then suddenly chuckled.

[Mu]: If you want to cooperate, just say so, don't belittle my business ability...

[Big Movie King]: Did you discover all of this?

[Mu]: Who in the circle doesn't know that Qiu Xingfeng's actors must pass the test of professional ability.

[Big Movie King]: There are exceptions.If I like the other person, I can put up with everything he doesn't like.

Lu Xiumu: "..."

[Big Movie King]: Maybe I happen to like you.

Lu Xiumu: "..."

Chapter 11 The birthday party is on a business trip from the 6th to the 11th, the update time is changed to after 8:[-] pm, the reply may not be timely, everyone forgive me~

The jobs in the entertainment industry are not fixed. For small artists who are not interested, they can even sleep until the sun is up during the working day.

But Lu Xiumu was not included.The intensive interviews and magazine shooting almost made him breathless.

These were originally icing on the cake. As an actor, Lu Xiumu didn't need to put too much energy on it, but he also had to take into account the exposure rate of "traffic".

At 03:30 in the morning, Lu Xiumu got into the nanny car tiredly, half-closed his eyes and listened to Gao Xin's report on the work content afterward.

"There will be an interview at station b tomorrow morning, and I will attend the brand's offline event the day after tomorrow, and participate in the variety show recording as a flying guest on the weekend."

Lu Xiumu gave a soft "hmm": "Don't you have a good book? I want to join the group."

"Now we have a business war movie, and a male lead in a costume drama." Gao Xin said, "But it can be delayed, I want to wait."

"Wait for what?"

"There are rumors that Director Jiang Bing is preparing a new film."

Lu Xiumu suddenly opened his eyes.Jiang Bing is a well-known realist director in China, but this is not the reason why he is a household name.To some extent, the name Jiang Bing equated with winning an award.

Qiu Xingfeng and Jiang Bing cooperated twice, once winning the "Golden Horse" actor, and once winning the "Golden Jubilee".

"Of course his films will have great competition." Gao Xin analyzed, "Especially Qiu Xingfeng announced his 'return' in a high-profile manner. He is known as Director Jiang's Queen's Actor."

Lu Xiumu has a clear self-awareness: "Even if there is no teacher Qiu, I can't be the number one male. If there is a chance, it would be great to be the best supporting actor. And——"

He didn't finish speaking, his fingers held the phone in the dark, and there was still a message in it that Qiu Xingfeng said he wanted to work together.

Gao Xin didn't care about his half-spoken words: "Don't worry about Jiang Bing's matter. Next week, you will have another collaboration with Qiu Xingfeng."

"Open again?" Lu Xiumu frowned unconsciously, "Is the frequency too high?"

"It can't be helped." Gao Xin was also very helpless, "His birthday is next week, and their company will hold a birthday party at that time. Many people in the circle have been invited. As a 'friend for many years', you have to attend."

"I always feel that after I agreed to this story line, the workload increased suddenly, which is really a big loss..." Lu Xiumu smiled wryly.

"Who told you not to listen to me?" Although Gao Xin said so, he patted him on the shoulder reassuringly, "Be patient, if you really can't do it, show your face and withdraw."

—

Qiu Xingfeng is very popular in the circle, besides celebrities, he also invited many screenwriters and directors.Coupled with their company's intentional "propaganda", this commercialized birthday party has completely become news.

That night, the private club was surrounded by entertainment journalists.The noisy noise and the coherent shutter sound came and went one after another, giving the illusion of the opening ceremony of a film festival.

Lu Xiumu took a deep breath, opened the door and got out of the car.Facing the dazzling flashing lights, he passed through the crowd calmly, with his "signature" alienated smile on his face.

As one of the important protagonists of Ru Mu Chunfeng, he received special care from another protagonist——Jiang Sui personally welcomed him into the banquet hall.

"Xiu Mu, I'm sorry." Jiang Sui motioned for him to go in, while greeting the passing guests, "There are too many things to do today, and I didn't take good care of them."

"Don't worry about me." Lu Xiumu looked at the people who were talking not far away, and said considerately: "This is the first business banquet after Mr. Qiu's 'return', so spend your time on the right people."

Jiang Sui followed his gaze and recognized one of them as a new director who has been very popular recently.He froze for a moment, then laughed sincerely: "Talking with smart people is always worry-free and energy-saving."

"I won't hold back my partners at critical moments." Lu Xiumu blinked lightly jokingly.

"It would be great if Xingfeng could be half as 'obedient' as you." Thinking of his own artists, Jiang Sui frowned wearily, "Xingfeng was unwilling to hold this birthday party at first, so I have a lot to say. It finally made him show signs of letting go."

Lu Xiumu didn't know if the other party was really complaining casually, or there was something in his words.He pondered for a few seconds, standing in Qiu Xingfeng's position, smoothing things over for others: "After all, no one wants their birthday to become a commercial gimmick. If I were Teacher Qiu, I would most likely lose my temper."

Jiang Sui was dumbfounded.

To be honest, he really didn't expect Lu Xiumu to make such a response.He couldn't be more clear about Qiu Xingfeng's virtues. Even if Lu Xiumu "slandered" Qiu Xingfeng just now, Jiang Sui felt it was reasonable.

And Lu Xiumu's answer made Jiang Sui re-examine their partners.Perhaps from the very beginning, Jiang Sui had colored glasses on "traffic", so for him, Lu Xiumu is not only a tool for "sucking fans", but also a "time bomb" that can explode at any time.

Due to his professionalism as a manager, Jiang Sui is used to using the darkest side to judge people's hearts.Only in this way can he bring Qiu Xingfeng to the "invincible position".

But now...

Jiang Sui carefully recalled the few times he had gotten along with Lu Xiumu, and found that the other party had always been humble and gentle.Adjectives like this are everywhere and don't sound like they have much value.

But if you add a time quantifier before them, the situation will be reversed in two levels-always.

Jiang Sui suddenly understood why Qiu Xingfeng always liked to "tease" Lu Xiumu, why Chu Mengting only talked to Lu Xiumu once, and kept saying "Mumu is a very nice person".

Thinking of this, Jiang Sui said sincerely, "Xiu Mu, thank you."

Before Lu Xiumu realized what he was thanking, the other party changed the subject again: "Meng Ting and the others formed a poker game, let me take you there, just let her take care of you."

"Forget it, I don't know anything about playing cards." Lu Xiumu looked around the banquet hall and pointed his finger upwards, "I'll go to the platform on the second floor to sit for a while, it's quiet."

However, the terrace was not as quiet as Lu Xiumu expected. When he opened the door, he realized that it had already been occupied by someone.

In the dark, he couldn't see the other person's face clearly, and subconsciously withdrew: "Sorry, I'm sorry to bother—"

"Mu Mu!"

A slightly surprised voice stopped Lu Xiumu from retreating.

Lu Xiumu squinted his eyes for a few seconds and recognized the other party as his former captain, Xu Yan.

"Brother!" Lu Xiumu relaxed instantly, and strode forward to give him a high five, "Why are you here?"

"Hey, don't mention it." Xu Yan waved his hand disdainfully, "My agent doesn't know how to get me an invitation letter, and insists on me coming to expand my network."

Without waiting for Lu Xiumu to respond, he chattered again: "You also know that I hate these vain people the most. We music people, can we care about these? If we have this skill, we might as well look for inspiration."

Lu Xiumu hadn't heard his ramblings for a long time, and he returned to the time when he just formed a group in a trance.Although it was muddled at the time, the friendship between the few half-grown men was actually forged.

After the team disbanded, only Lu Xiumu and Xu Yan were still active in front of the screen.

Lu Xiumu laughed and said, "I'm not in music, please don't slander me."

"Are you singing out of tune now?" Xu Yan was surprised, "Your social status is so high, and the company won't hire you a professional teacher to tutor you?"

"I'm sticking to my own style." Lu Xiumu replied unconvinced, "And I don't like singing and dancing myself, taking professional classes is a waste of time."

"That's right..." Xu Yan rubbed his nose, "I even forgot that you are different from us, and you didn't enter this circle to chase your dreams."

The smile on Lu Xiumu's face gradually faded: "At that time, I was really short of money."

"But my brothers didn't let you make any money." Xu Yan looked at the dark sky in the distance, "If it weren't for your fans to support us, our group would probably face the problem of disbanding as soon as it debuts."

Lu Xiumu followed his gaze and looked into the distance. The intertwined and swaying light refracted his eyes into a pale color, as if reflecting the fleeting light of the whole world.

Slowly his spine straightened, and he didn't speak for a long time.It wasn't until there was loud applause from downstairs that Lu Xiumu looked away: "But I was the one who proposed to fly solo first."

"Why do you say such things again?" Xu Yan frowned, "Our group will disband sooner or later... And you became popular after flying solo, and the money you earned just solved your family's difficulties."

Lu Xiumu bent his lower lip with a distant expression: "Yes."

Xu Yan sensed that this was a signal that the other party didn't want to talk about this matter, and immediately said: "After a while, it will be the anniversary of uncle's death. Shall I accompany you to visit the grave?"

Lu Xiumu was stunned suddenly, and after a long time, he said helplessly: "Brother, the course of emotional intelligence is very important, why don't you take some time to study it."

"...Ah?" Xu Yan scratched the back of his head inexplicably, "What do you mean?"

Lu Xiumu shook his head slightly, then said, "I can't go to the grave."

"Why?" Xu Yan was at a loss, "Your company has arranged a job for you? This is too unreasonable—"

"It has nothing to do with the company." Lu Xiumu didn't wait for him to finish, "He won't want to see me."

Xu Yan pondered for a moment alone before realizing who "he" was.He asked cautiously, "You... still haven't reconciled?"

"No." Lu Xiumu lowered his eyes, and his long eyelashes blocked the light in his eyes, "Until the last moment he left, he was talking about hating me..."

The tone was full of sourness, and there was an inextricable sarcasm and self-mockery.

Xu Yan is not very good at dealing with this situation, and he can't say any words of comfort.I had no choice but to hook Lu Xiumu's neck, and raised one hand to rub his hair: "Don't think about it. Tell me quickly, how did you and Qiu Xingfeng become CP?"

—

After Qiu Xingfeng sloppily dealt with the "task" assigned to him by Jiang Sui, he immediately asked where Lu Xiumu was, and then went up to the second floor.

He looked into the terrace through the glass of the door.Lu Xiumu stood with a tall man, and I don't know what they said, the man suddenly grabbed Lu Xiumu's neck and bent him down.

Qiu Xingfeng stared at Lu Xiumu's back, grinding his lower teeth meaninglessly.

Lu Xiumu was very thin, and his arched spine seemed to reveal its shape through his clothes.

They are so beautiful that Qiu Xingfeng can imagine what it feels like to hold them under his hands.However, he could only imagine, but someone made a substantial move.

The man stroked Lu Xiumu's back and turned his head to talk to him. From the shape of his mouth, he could tell that he was thinner?

Qiu Xingfeng was unhappy and gloated at the same time.Lu Xiumu's sense of control over the distance is just right, and he will never let Alpha "do anything wrong" on him.

There is a high probability that that person will be scolded.

But Qiu Xingfeng never expected that Lu Xiumu just raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Qiu Xingfeng couldn't tell what he was thinking, he acted before reason, and he opened the balcony door without even considering the issue of manners.

"Teacher Lu—"

The voice stopped abruptly, because a strong sweet smell suddenly filled the air.Floating from the stairs to the terrace, getting closer.

Some Omega entered the passive heat/estrus period.
