Chapter 566: 565. Quite a few petty tricks

The thought processes of these netizens are seriously f*cked up!

A simple matter, and you interpret it like this???

"No, wait, didn’t Mu Ziwei understand it this way at first?"

After giving it some thought, Shen Yan felt like he had grasped the truth.

Xiao Li glanced coldly at the person babbling incessantly, "You finally see that point."

"...You were just giving me the ’looking at an idiot’ look, weren’t you?"

Shen Yan felt unprecedentedly insulted in terms of his intelligence.

Xiao Li was shocked, "Don’t tell me you don’t think you’re an idiot? I figured this whole thing out a long time ago."

"emmmm, Brother Li, why are you so outstanding?"

They are obviously the same age!

"Of course, it’s because I’ve been in the industry longer than you~~~~"

And by ’in the industry’, he didn’t mean the programming field, but the entertainment industry.

Compared to programmers who design software, Xiao Li was under much greater pressure, which created a significant gap between him and Shen Yan.

Of course, in terms of emotional intelligence.

Shen Yan was startled, then after a moment of deep thought, he immediately clung to Xiao Li’s leg.

"Brother Li, you’re like my real brother!"

Please take me under your wing!

Xiao Li moved away with disdain, "Cut the cheesy stuff, sit up straight and focus."

"What do we do now?"

"Do what? Just wait."

"...Huh?"

Wait?

In an instant, Shen Yan felt as if he had become useless, just tagging along without knowing when it started.

Other than staring at the data, he was completely redundant.

"What else can we do? With the boss’s popularity so high, and by extension, the drama crew’s heat as well, they’re not going to just sit by and do nothing."

Xiao Li had seen through it all long ago.

***

The drama crew, indeed, would not just sit by and do nothing.

When the Weibo backstage messages once again piled up to 999+, after clearing a morning’s worth of messages, Lu Gang found it was all in vain, like cleaning for the sake of loneliness.

"This is too torturous. You people... don’t any of you have jobs, always staring at us."

Lu Gang’s young and handsome, sunlit face once again turned into a bitter gourd, crying all the way to Li Li.

At this time, Director Li was discussing script issues with Scriptwriter Li Zenan.

"Scriptwriter Li, I don’t think this part is quite right, it doesn’t really suit his character..."

"Should I revise it again?"

The scene was quite harmonious, and Lu Gang standing by didn’t have the heart to interrupt, but time waits for no one, so he coughed softly to signal his presence.

"Um, Director Li..."

"What’s up?"

"The internet is kicking up a fuss again."

"Hmm?"

Both Director Li and Scriptwriter Li looked up at the same time, their sharp gaze behind the glasses made the person in question’s heart tremble.

Oh, my mother, the director’s gaze alone was already hard to withstand, and now here was the famous Scriptwriter Li from the circle, this double-whammy effect!

emmmm~~~He couldn’t quite handle it.

"You both have a look, the drama’s official Weibo is being dissed by netizens again, and they are demanding an explanation from us."

Lu Gang had followed Li Li for a decent stretch of time and had developed a silver tongue, explaining the situation in short, clear terms.

Of course, he didn’t forget to show the video of Mu Ziwei answering reporters’ questions during a commercial performance.

"This video has already surpassed three million likes, and its popularity remains high; if this continues, it will undoubtedly affect the reputation of the production team."

Li Li and Li Zenan frowned simultaneously.

"This Mu Ziwei... she’s got no shortage of little tricks."

"After spending a long time in this circle, there are no more innocents left, having a bit of cunning is good, but it’s bad if it’s misused."

"Young people these days—"

Both of them were old foxes; Mu Ziwei’s acting was no match for their keen eyes, and with just one glance, they knew she was guiding public opinion.

"Wait, did you say the production team’s popularity has increased?"

"Yes."

"I see, well, that saves us a sum in publicity expenses."

As soon as Director Li’s words fell, Scriptwriter Li beside him couldn’t help but laugh, "With your involvement, are we ever afraid the show won’t be a hit? Since when did you start caring about this?"

As for popularity, the two words ’Li Li’ were synonymous with it.

Li Li also smiled, "We’re getting old, so we must keep up with the times, right?"

Watching the two chat unconcernedly, Lu Gang quickly found their calm demeanor infectious, his initially agitated heart gradually settling down.

Shoot, what was he getting so worked up about?

If the great director and screenwriter weren’t panicking, why should he?

He adjusted his attitude and quietly assumed the role of a background board.

Until five minutes later, Li Li gave him an order, and the more Lu Gang listened, the funnier he found it, secretly cheering Mu Ziwei on.

"Director Li, rest assured, I know what to do now!"

"Hmm, go ahead. Since she wants to pass the buck to us, wouldn’t we be letting down her acting if we didn’t strike back?"

He had originally intended to be a bit more reserved, to act like a person of culture, but who would have thought that these youngsters wouldn’t give him that opportunity?

Then let’s make a fuss; in the end, the entire production team stands to benefit.

"Right, you are correct!"

Thus, before the end of work that afternoon, the official Weibo account for "Corridor Pavilion" posted another tweet.

This was already the second piece of news today.

Within 8 hours, the plot had multiple twists and turns, and the netizens were thoroughly enjoying their melons, with one exciting development after another.

***

At the entrance of the Medical University,

there were still about a dozen entertainment reporters gathered, having arrived in the morning and showing no intention of leaving, setting up camp right at the entrance. When it came to stubbornness, no one could outdo them, and they had been at a standoff with Tang Shu, the person involved.

"Old man, can I have another cup of water? I’m dying of thirst here!"

"Sure, it’s rare for young folks to keep me company all day. I’ll get you some water!"

The cheerful gatekeeper turned and entered his little square booth. When he came out again, he had two disposable paper cups filled with warm water in his hand.

"Here you go, young folk, you’re having quite a tough time."

"Hehe, it’s rare for you to not be annoyed by our presence."

Entertainment reporters were a rather despised profession, and these individuals, who were bringing trouble to the school, were not particularly welcome. But after spending a whole day without encountering Tang Shu, the involved party, everyone felt there wasn’t much to be agitated about. Instead, they calmly started chatting with the gatekeeper.

You don’t slap a smiling face, and besides, the man was chatting with them amiably about his youth.

The old man’s initial displeasure slowly faded, and soon a ’revolutionary friendship’ was forged between them. The chat went on for hours, and both groups quickly became familiar with each other.

Watching them gulp down the water, the gatekeeper couldn’t help but sigh.

"You folks have it tough."

This struck a nerve, and the reporters nearly burst into tears.

"Old man, our profession isn’t understood by most. We really do have it tough, waaaah~~~~"
