Lu Yan He didn't know how to answer at this moment.

"Otherwise?" Lu Yan He hesitated and said this sentence.

Li Zhibai hadn't realized that what he said had caused great collateral damage and was about to explain.

Lu Yan He hurriedly pressed a palm on Li Zhibai's shoulder and said to the camera: "I'll stop the livestream first today, bye."

He turned off the livestream with quick eyes and hands.

The moment it turned off, Lu Yan He breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Zhibai looked at him inexplicably and asked: "Why did you suddenly stop the livestream?"

Lu Yan He: "Afraid you'll say something crazy again."

Li Zhibai: "Ha?"

"How was your premiere activity tonight?" Lu Yan He asked.

Li Zhibai: "Don't mention it, it's terrible. Except for fans, everyone is scolding our drama for being ugly."

"Ugly?" Lu Yan He looked at Li Zhibai in surprise, "Really or fake? I watched the first episode, it's not bad."

Li Zhibai looked at Lu Yan He in shock instead.

"When did you watch the first episode? Don't you have a performance at night?"

"Just came back, I was watching the drama on the livestream." Lu Yan He said, "Although it's a bit exaggerated, I think it's quite good, especially you acting quite well. It feels like a true-to-life performance, a person who is usually very irritable but kind-hearted. I kept laughing during your appearance, and it didn't stop."

Li Zhibai hesitated and looked at Lu Yan He suspiciously, "You wouldn't be saying this because you are watching our drama with a filter, right?"

"No, it's really not bad." Lu Yan He said, "Although if it weren't for you acting in this drama, I probably wouldn't open it. This is not a subject I am interested in, but the first episode I watched is indeed okay. In the eyes of viewers who like this subject, they should still like it quite a bit."

Li Zhibai let out a long sigh of relief.

"That's good."

"Didn't you see the feedback on the internet at the scene?"

"I saw it, but you know, our kind of promotion activity certainly won't read bad reviews. I just looked at it on the way back, and many people scolded me."

"Then your comment section has people scolding you daily, you already have many haters." Lu Yan He said, "This is not representative at all."

Li Zhibai: "That's what I said, but there are exceptionally many people scolding me today. Many people also said something like don't act in the future, eyesore, etc., and said a lot of excessive things, sigh."

"Then I think it's better not to take it to heart. I think these words are all said by your haters. It's not like I didn't watch this drama. Your performance is definitely a highlight. I kept laughing." Lu Yan He said, "Also, don't forget, your acting skills have been praised by Director Luo Yuzhong. We all have to learn the sense of naturalness in you. In fact, I only understood what Director Luo meant when I watched you act in this drama today. I only knew what the state of naturalness without any camera sense was after I acted in a drama myself. I couldn't do this, it's hard to really forget the existence of the camera lens."

Li Zhibai was praised by Lu Yan He until his face turned red, very embarrassed, pursed his lips, and said: "Is what you said a bit too exaggerated?"

Lu Yan He said: "I swear, what I said is absolutely the truth."

Lu Yan He really didn't say this because Li Zhibai was his friend.

"Since you said so, then I'll believe you." Li Zhibai raised the corners of his mouth.

"Accompany You to the End of the World" is a romantic idol drama.

In the current film and television drama market, the subjects that idols can participate in are basically based on romantic idol dramas.

Those like Lu Yan He who can appear in serious dramas like "Golden Age" are the minority of the minority.

Dramas like "Accompany You to the End of the World" often present a situation with high topic degree and high internet popularity but actually not many viewers. Simply put, it is difficult for such dramas to break through their inherent circle. Those who will watch this drama are still that market group.

The next day, the drama party of "Accompany You to the End of the World" bought several trending searches for itself, one of which was Li Zhibai's, focusing on the irritable neurotic character Li Zhibai played in the drama.

Lu Yan He not only helped Li Zhibai promote this drama on his social media, but also specifically livestreamed watching the drama, physically supporting his good friend.

This move of his was also seen by the drama promotion staff of "Accompany You to the End of the World", and they did a topic marketing.

Lu Yan He has been the king of topics in the internet world for the past two days, and his dispute with Chen Ziliang is being hotly discussed.

And Lu Yan He's livestream last night also successfully spread under the operation of all parties.

The most circle-breaking and widely spread one was Li Zhibai's soul question "Looks like they are all living fans".

This scene, along with Lu Yan He's hurried livestream closing shot, was made into a GIF and spread wildly on the internet.

The topic derived two:

One is Li Zhibai sighing that Lu Yan He has many living fans, and the other is how should I save my outspoken artist friend.

What makes everyone feel the most funny about this matter is Lu Yan He's reaction.

After Li Zhibai said that sentence, Lu Yan He's unhideable shock and the reaction of wanting to stop the livestream immediately were full of the most vivid "hand-in-hand" and "shocked face", which made everyone happy.

Simply put, everyone loves to see the most real side of celebrity artists.

No script performance, all are the most real reactions.

The more real, the more everyone thinks they are interesting.

The next day at noon, Lu Yan He and Li Zhibai sat together for lunch, looking at each other.

Now their names are still hanging on the trending list.

This is something they didn't expect at all.

Li Zhibai was sighing: "Isn't your livestream room usually only having a little over ten thousand viewers? Why did this matter spread so widely?"

Lu Yan He: "How would I know."

Li Zhibai: "This is really... sigh, so annoying, Zhou Ping'an must be happy, saving him another promotion fund."

"You have a drama on now, it's good to be on the trending list." Lu Yan He said, "If it can bring more viewers to this drama, what a good thing."

"I'm not the lead actor. Even if this drama is popular, it's not my credit." Li Zhibai lay on the sofa, "Now my popularity on the internet is hotter than the two leads. No one spoke in the group this morning."

"Are they dissatisfied with you because of this?"

"That's not necessarily true, but now I'm hanging on the trending list, but they are not. They must be somewhat dissatisfied. Now 'Accompany You to the End of the World' is buying trending searches for me, but not for them." Li Zhibai said.

Drama promotion is just like this.

If a drama has any character or any actor who explodes, the promotion resources will definitely tilt toward them, regardless of whether you are the lead or a supporting role.

Being able to attract more viewers to the drama is the kingly way.

In fact, apart from this drama, Li Zhibai is the most popular among all actors.

The promotion of this drama put a lot of promotion resources on him from the beginning, trying to use his popularity to increase the heat of this drama, and in fact, it succeeded.

Now this drama has indeed received a lot of attention because of Li Zhibai.

Li Zhibai turned to look at Lu Yan He and said: "You are still talking about me, what's going on with you and Chen Ziliang? Now there are more people discussing you than me."

"Last night, the host insisted on asking me what I wanted to respond to Chen Ziliang in front of the livestream camera. Of course, I didn't want to respond, so I left. As a result, I was discussed by many people." Lu Yan He shook his head, "This matter is just like this. I knew it would cause everyone's discussion when I left. There is no way. I can't say in front of so many people that I don't mind what Chen Ziliang said and did."

"Chen Ziliang is an idiot." Li Zhibai said concisely, "If it weren't for him debuting early and becoming popular early, who would care about him."

Now Chen Ziliang's situation is not good.

If it is said that after yesterday, Chen Ziliang suddenly reversed his image and his reputation improved, by the evening, first Lu Yan He's attitude of not buying it, then his duet with Song Lin Xin, which made Song Lin Xin red-eyed and black-faced on the stage, the two things superimposed together, causing Chen Ziliang to reverse his image again overnight. Now not only was the singing scene last night complained by many music bloggers, but he was also attacked by many of Song Lin Xin's fans, blaming him for ruining the song Song Lin Xin wrote.

The four words "caught off guard" describe this situation.

Chen Ziliang didn't sleep well all night. He originally thought the heat of this matter would slowly fade away. However, when he woke up, he found that there were more people scolding him.

Chen Ziliang couldn't hold it anymore and contacted Yan Wei.

"Brother Wei, if you don't help me again, I will really die." Chen Ziliang couldn't help saying, "I'm going to be scolded to death by these people."

Yan Wei said: "You come to me for help when you are scolded by people now. What about the future? I am still your agent now. I will help you handle these things. In fact, I have handled too many such things over the years, but how many more times can you withstand the tossing? Don't you find that your fans are getting fewer and fewer? Every time something happens, it will cause you to lose a batch of fans. How long do you think you can still be popular?"

Yan Wei's words were like a sharp arrow shot into Chen Ziliang's heart.

Chen Ziliang also knew what Yan Wei said. But knowing it is useless. Chen Ziliang sometimes feels like he is floating in the air, watching himself run forward like a runaway train. Everyone thinks he is running around, only he knows that he can't control himself at all.

Chen Ziliang found a bit of reason in panic at this moment.

"Brother Wei, help me again, I need you." He said, "We spent so much effort to get to this step today. I get through this difficulty, your efforts are not in vain, Brother Wei. If I am really defeated, aren't your efforts in vain?"

What Chen Ziliang said made Yan Wei feel mixed feelings in his heart.

Chen Ziliang became like this today, apart from interests, how can Yan Wei not feel uncomfortable.

Chen Ziliang was brought up by him.

No matter how profit-seeking a person is, after getting along with someone for such a long time, they will also have feelings.

Yan Wei has advised Chen Ziliang countless times to get back on track, be a good person, and sing well. Chen Ziliang didn't listen time and time again, caused all kinds of trouble time and time again, and made all kinds of messes. While cleaning up behind him, he couldn't help but wonder, why did that young man who loved singing become like this?

Yan Wei knows that the pressure Chen Ziliang faces every day is great, and he also knows that Chen Ziliang is actually not confident in the depths of his heart, and does not believe that his voice and singing skills can help him go on for a long time.

Therefore, Chen Ziliang cares more about his status, treatment, evaluation by others, what programs he goes on, and what endorsements he takes.

It's just that Yan Wei watched Chen Ziliang walk his path crookedly, and couldn't straighten it back even if he wanted to.

In the next few days, the names of Chen Ziliang, Song Lin Xin, and Lu Yan He still appeared from time to time in major marketing accounts or related comments.

And "Accompany You to the End of the World" also broadcast quite well, and all data reached expectations.

Especially the rich second generation played by Li Zhibai, several clips are quite popular, because of his exaggerated performance, it is widely spread on the internet.

It can be said that Li Zhibai's attempt to enter the film and television circle this time is successful.

Relying on the heat of this drama, his popularity has also rebounded, and even two endorsements have been added.

This is a typical effective drama broadcast.

And Lu Yan He's first brand endorsement finally came.

Many fast-moving consumer goods brands had come to Lu Yan He before, but Chen Ziyan was not willing to accept endorsements for such fast-moving consumer goods brands for Lu Yan He, and slightly better brands had their own spokespersons, and there were few vacancies.

In August, an APP called "Xueyou" finally negotiated terms with Chen Ziyan and signed an endorsement agreement.

When Lu Yan He got the news, Chen Ziyan had already negotiated all aspects with this APP.

This APP was produced by Li Pengfei's father's company.

Lu Yan He was surprised.

He immediately remembered that at the end of last year, Li Pengfei's father specifically told him that he wanted to have a business cooperation with him. Wouldn't it be this APP?

Because there was no news for too long in the middle, Lu Yan He originally thought this cooperation had failed.

Before the official announcement, Li Luzhi specifically invited Lu Yan He and Chen Ziyan to have dinner together.

Li Luzhi specifically brought Li Pengfei.

Meeting on such an occasion, Lu Yan He and Li Pengfei were even a bit awkward for a while.

For young people, a work social occasion may not be difficult to adapt to, but compared to this, what makes them more difficult to adapt to is the work social occasion where parents are also present.

Li Pengfei, who was originally a person with a lot of words, suddenly became a silent and depressed person. After sitting down, he didn't say a word more.

Lu Yan He didn't know what to say either.

There is a sense of restraint when children meet parents.

Lu Yan He couldn't directly treat Li Luzhi as a serious brand person in charge for socializing.

He still had to call him Uncle Li when they met.

On the contrary, Li Luzhi, who blessed Lu Yan He generously at the beginning, congratulated him on getting into Zhenhua.

After Lu Yan He thanked him, Li Luzhi took the initiative to mention the cooperation promised half a year ago.

"I should have found you long ago, but because the design and production of the APP encountered many difficulties, the shelf time was delayed for four or five months." Li Luzhi said, "However, no matter what, this APP is finally going to be online now."

Lu Yan He could only say: "The product must be done well before it can be put on the shelves. Uncle Li, you still remember to find me as a spokesperson. I am very nervous, afraid that I can't reach your expectations."

Li Luzhi waved his hand with a smile and said: "Don't worry about this. Now basically any brand must have done background investigation and related market research before finding a spokesperson. It must be looking for the person with the highest adaptability to be the spokesperson. You are the most suitable spokesperson for Xueyou APP. A social APP based on the concept of joint learning and self-study, besides you, who else is suitable?"

Chen Ziyan immediately smiled and said: "General Manager Li, you have a discerning eye. This is a very good cooperation. In fact, Little Lu also loves reading. If you find Lu Yan He to be the spokesperson for this APP, not to mention anything else, parents will definitely come to study this APP. If you can really do this APP according to the established goals, school teachers will definitely be willing to use it."

"Yes." Li Luzhi nodded, "I also said at the company meeting that I want to do this APP, which is also inspired by Lu Yan He's livestream of studying. He takes fans to memorize words together. I think it's very magical. Besides you, I guess there is no second artist who will take his fans to memorize words."

"This is also where Lu Yan He is different from other artists." Chen Ziyan said.

When the two of them were chatting and greeting, Lu Yan He was also winking at Li Pengfei.
