Chapter 53: Pandora's Box

Xi Gu didn't let himself fall into a depressed mood for too long, he rushed back from the airport because he had a finalized mission ahead of him.

Once he left irresponsibly, it would be an unmitigated disaster for the next person he docked the trip with.

While waiting for a response from the fashion magazine, he followed the Weibo updates.

Dian Mo was asking when the brand would deliver the clothes tomorrow and why she hadn't heard anything by this time. Xi Gu received the arrival time from the other reporter and went to the hotel for an interview. When the reporter didn't come yet, Xi Gu continued to browse Weibo.

Mainly because he was worried about Jiarui Xun's small movements, so he would go up to check it out every now and then.

Today's Weibo is very lively, with several new revelations instantly capturing the attention of netizens.

Xi Gu first took a general glance to make sure there were no names of himself and Jing Rong before reading on.

But in reality, the absence of a name does not mean the absence of him.

Wanting to keep as low a profile as possible these days, he didn't get his way.

A hot search: #suchA, suchO, followed by the word pop.

Xi Gu clicked in and saw a video, shot by what appeared to be a passenger, that took place in the cabin.

The screen is a tall Alpha standing up and angrily disliking the petite Omega on the seat: "Haha, laughing my ass off, isn't Omega just a fertility machine ......"

Then, when the Alpha was about to beat someone up, a figure rose up to block it.

The netizens are out of anger::

"Please don't mosaic this Alpha, he doesn't deserve it [dog head]"

"That O is super man, the other passengers present are stupid, actually did not try to stop! Fortunately, there is an O directly up, those Beta engage in what you line, open your eyes to see, Omega is not easy?"

"Don't rise to the gender bar."

"This asshole needs to be taught to behave with an O like this, it looks super cool!"

Perhaps the entire conversation was so infuriating that the user who posted the video only wrote the three Chinese characters [mosaic] on Yang Chu's face, but gave the real mosaic to the standing Omega, a very obvious bias.

"Has anyone found that the person in the video has a figure and temperament like a certain person, and that set of clothes is not the same as a certain top flow of clothes just now a hair?"

"Ahhhhhhhh is it Xi Gu [picture]!!!"

"In the end is not ah, there is no one who knows to say a word?"

Xi Gu thought of the other passengers who were sitting there, who didn't accuse in person, but reciprocated in this way.

It's true that if you do more than one thing, you're going to die, and you don't even have to do it yourself. Yang Chu's family is very big, so it is extremely important to the reputation, after this battle, it will certainly affect their reputation, and win a wave with the elimination.

Xi Gu was so relieved that he wanted to call and share his joy.

When I opened WeChat, the first thing I saw was the dialog box with Jing Rong, and I went up and down through the chat log many times.

Xi Gu didn't flip back and forth this time, and his happy mood was more or less lost when he thought about his intentions.

When I saw the video of #Airport, Thor ranked thirty-second, I still couldn't control my hand and clicked save.

Feng Gu : ...... I'll see how long you can put up with it.

The waiting reporter knocked on the door, Xi Gu immediately put down what he was doing. After the routine interview, Xi Gu and director Yu Liu and others went to the scene of today's dinner, and when they refreshed midway, they found that the tag #Airport, Thor had soared to ninth.

Xi Gu eyelids slightly jumped, there is a problem.

Sure enough, a video of Jiarui Xun's interview with a journalist came out.

I think it was just after an event, several media asked him what he thought about the role being replaced as said online, the net rumor is that it was taken by some unknown newcomer, is there really such a thing.

Xi Gu Once I read such a targeted question, I thought it might be a bought pop-up.

Then look at the logo on the other microphone, Magic Spirit Entertainment, that's right, this company is relatively bottomless to explode all kinds of artists, as long as the money is in place.

For Jiarui Xun, it not only gets the conversation going during the window period, but also builds up the image of the victim and leaves Jing Rong without a day to shine.

You should know that Jing Rong's voice is very similar to his, and even better than his, a new actor of similar type, this time not to press, do not wait for the other fire up and then press?

Jiarui Xun first said some scenes, and then turned to a bitter smile and said, "Maybe my performance did not satisfy Mr. Gu and the director, that newcomer must have something outstanding, although it is regrettable that I did not have the opportunity to work with Mr. Gu for the time being, but I look forward to the next opportunity, in addition, I wish "Royal Power" a big sale."

Jiarui Xun This passage doesn't seem to have much wrong with it, but listen carefully and it's very informative.

Not to mention Jiarui Xun's fans, even passers-by feel a little subtle.

What do you mean by not satisfying the director and Xi Gu, this sounds like a story, the newcomer may have a very strong background, and then there is the general mention of the director can be, why also impose a Xi Gu, as if to imply something.

Implying that Xi Gu has an ulterior motive with this newcomer?

Xi Gu immediately contacted the water army company, so he was prepared, so he was relatively calm, and asked them to immediately increase the "passerby" pertinent comments up, it was time for them to step in.

Without pausing, he said to Yu Liu, who was beside him, "Dao Liu, do me a favor."

Yu Liu saw that hot search, considered it, but refused: "Such a hot search can save a lot of publicity fees, and Jing Rong is a newcomer, just a little storm, so don't make a big deal out of it. Once the film is released it will hit everyone in the face, provided of course that he can overcome his illness, it's only a little hard to get through this time."

"I understand the reasoning, but it's not easy for newcomers, so there's no reason to put all the pressure and harshness on a newcomer. Jing Rong has the shortcomings of newcomers is very normal, but there is no need to magnify these, give newcomers room to grow is not good?"

Yu Liu looked at Xi Gu in silence: "You still take care of your juniors, you haven't changed at all."

Xi Gu was not impressed: "Who doesn't get up a little."

Yu Liu: "You look like a stranger, when will you change your nature? There is also something to tell you in advance, I know you take care of your juniors, but our film can not joke, if Jing Rong still can not adapt to the camera within a week after the start of the shooting, I will replace him, no one said it is useless. There is no impact on your role, but you have to work hard with other actors."

Xi Gu clenched his fingers slightly.

"I chose two other newcomers for the replacement, they are also quite spiritual, you have seen them in the audition, and also praised them a few times, I think it's okay." The company's main goal is to provide the best possible service to its customers.

The director is very thoughtful and has made other alternatives.

Xi Gu's muffled voice: "Hmm."

At this time, they have arrived at the banquet venue, this time is the pre-film festival warm-up banquet, and most of those who came are also more famous stars of various countries.

Xi Gu an Asian face would not have been eye-catching, but he is the only newcomer who once entered the world's most beautiful 100 ranking as soon as he debuted, is a person who breaks the aesthetic wall, even if European and American stars do not know him, it is easy to be attracted to him.

It didn't take long for a handsome red-haired man to strike up a conversation with him.

Xi Gu had something on his mind and casually coped with a few sentences, only remembering that it seemed to be a first-tier star in Europe and the United States.

On the way to the bathroom, I didn't expect the other party to follow me, after chatting a few words on the hand to touch his buttocks, Xi Gu is annoyed with the microblogging thing, which has the mood to be false with the snake, instantly twisted the wrist of the other party, the man killed the pig-like pain scream extra.

Stopped his attack only when someone else entered the restroom.

The red-haired star cursed and cursed angrily: "You wait and see, I want you to beg me on your knees!"

The other party deliberately used a small language, but Xi Gu could understand a few of the key words, pursed his lips, pointed to the camera above, and left in the other party's jaws.

And on Weibo, there was soon a public number of gossip entertainment broke the news that this newcomer is the protagonist of that #Airport, Thor, and this is not a male student without a story, this one is not innocent.

It was with this interview video that the hot search that had fallen off shot straight into the top ten, with an eye on moving on.

When Jing Rong returned home, he habitually went next door to see how Xi Gu was doing, and only when he saw how empty it was did he remember that Xi Gu had already left.

I heard that it takes 21 days to form a habit, how long has he been here? Jing Rong shook his head: "It shouldn't, it shouldn't."

Before going to bed, Jing Rong took the time to finish the tasks assigned by his professional manager and started to concentrate on the script, which Xi Gu had given him at breakfast, saying it was for his own use, but after writing it, he found that he couldn't use it either, so he gave it to Jing Rong.

But the above annotations and some markers do focus on the description, which is not the focus of "care" Qianming Fu, there is also a sense of self for each paragraph.

Full of dry goods both sense, in addition to a small biography, and finally drew a Q version of their own little man, wrote the word "cheer".

Jing Rong doesn't really need it, but the persona of " Jing Rong" does. After he received this note full of heart, he was completely unable to ignore the sourness and softness in his heart.

Jing Rong loved the script and couldn't help but watch it with fascination. By the time he found out about the hot search, the magical netizens had already turned to his Weibo, and his number of followers had skyrocketed from the original 10,000 to 50,000, five times as many as the original, crossing the line of small transparency.

Jing Rong saw Jiarui Xun's interview and the comments underneath the new hotspot:

"Originally I thought it was a passerby with a superb face, but it turns out to be in marketing?"

"So many hot searches a day, tired of seeing it, okay? This newcomer wants to be red is also want to be crazy, said he has a story, what is the story, don't hang your appetite!"

"Other did not see, this newcomer or the company behind him should be very rich, so many hot search spent a lot of it."

"I remembered who he is, is many years ago that # let you fall in love with the schoolboy # in the god, his face super resistant. So many years past a little news are gone, thought disappeared, did not expect to meet again in this way, do not know the cry the laugh, feel the youth broke."

"I know what black material he has, this material is also thief big, in DYXY internal this is the year was mocked TOP.01."

"Here is the link and the beginning of the incident, I now suspect that the director of "Royalty" was descended, really, this man can get on I think I can get on I think I can get on."

"Look at XJR's meaning, as if this newcomer is favored by GX, which is engaged in subterfuge (Hee Fan don't bar, purely doubtful)?"

"Upstairs, don't be funny, okay, GX which cooperation is not handsome Alpha, crazy to dive in the career rise a newcomer to fame without fame, to curry without curry, help the poor?"

"Don't take us GX okay, hold away baby."

Jing Rong didn't expect this to happen, but it also involved Xi Gu.

Xi Gu, such a dedicated person, was thrown dirty water like this, or because of himself, Jing Rong immediately took action.

Jing Rong called You Zhou and asked, "Do you know any water army company that can help me to suppress the comments on the hot search?"

You Zhou is also fast, they Shi Xie on a long-term cooperation, but You Zhou found a strange phenomenon: "young master, it seems that there are other water army is also pressing comments, it seems to be a friendly army, we still want to continue?"

Jing Rong froze: "Huh?"

"And the other party suspected of buying five water forces, two on the field, three on standby ...... do we need to buy anything else." The main thing is that when he went to contact, people replied that they had already taken the order and did not take duplicate orders.

"Uh...not for now." What an exaggerated amount of waterworks.

Who is it?

So idle.

And so rich.

What's wrong with doing something else, you need five so many?

It didn't take long for the official blog of the cast of "Royalty" to post the cast list and Aite all the main actors.

Netizens have felt that the crew is also very will ah, while in the heat of the moment, free publicity wave.

Director Yu Liu also received a transatlantic phone call from Jing Rong, hoping that his affair would not involve the crew and Xi Gu.

Yu Liu is also a bit annoyed about this matter, he is not very satisfied with Jiarui Xun, does not mean that he is satisfied with Jing Rong, in fact, Qianming Fu this role, he sees no one can fill the role. The newcomer, Jing Rong, has made this kind of blackmail in advance, which is a blessing or a curse for the crew.

But seeing Jing Rong's attitude, he felt that this young man was at least not a white-eyed wolf and was worthy of Xi Gu's defense: "All right, all right, it's already happened, and you didn't start it. Xi Gu doesn't care about such rumors, but you two better pretend you don't know each other outside, otherwise it won't be good for either of you."

Then he sent out a direct message that Jing Rong is a new actor worthy of recognition, and that the flaws do not cover up the defects, so I hope people will be more tolerant of him.

After this tweet, at least people didn't put Xi Gu and the new actor together again.

No matter how Jiarui Xun splashes dirty water, Xi Gu's identity and conditions are there, and not many fans are willing to believe in the submarine rule nonsense.

And then, perhaps thinking it was about time, the video of Jing Rong's performance accident was posted as a breaking news by a marketing number.

Xi Gu was distracted at the party and saw that his opponent was prepared and that the water army he had hired could not carry the load.

There are many ways to suppress a hot search, but the most unobtrusive way is to suppress it with another more powerful message.

He suddenly thought of something and immediately called the pheromone matching center.

The announcement of a match of more than 99% will usually be sent out after three days to make sure that neither party in the match has the will to back out before the match is made.

It was the first time the Matching Center saw an Omega who was so eager to announce the world, and immediately called the other party to confirm their wishes.

The next moment, the official announced a heavy news: Congratulations to Mr. Rong*, and Mr. Gu* match degree success, this is our 1000th pair of Alpha and Omega match degree more than 99.9999%, thank you for your trust in the pheromone matching center, hope to go all the way.

A very official paragraph, and the names of two people are hidden.

Once this heavy news was sent out, it immediately swept the entire network, and all six genders blew up.

Whatever news there was just now has been temporarily suppressed.

"Wow, I can do it again!"

"Followed by four decimal points, did I lose my eyesight! Super sky match na!"

"After three years, Api you finally give up the action, your recent efficiency is not ah, only a few pairs of success, it is time to review!"

"My goodness, how long has it been since there was a heavenly pairing!!! Or a male A male O match, the most suitable pair of genders in my mind! Wooooooooooooooooo, it's worth it!"

"Crying from a single dog, when will I get a successful match?"

"I was just eating a melon and the melon fell out of my hand!"

"How come there are no photos this time, this pair did not shoot? It seems that even the interview is not, still want to see what it is like, whether it is good or not."

Xi Gu spent the whole night staring at the news on Weibo, not daring to close his eyes.

Although there was no way to suppress the negative mian comments about Jing Rong, and a bunch of netizens went to the cast of "Royalty" to ask for a replacement actor, at least the official announcement from the Matching Center took away half of the firepower.

The next day, Jing Rong called at the right time: "Have you seen the hot search? I got you into trouble this time and got you treated as a submariner."

Xi Gu ignored the irregular beating of the heart, like a good friend flirting: "Come to think of it, it is submerged, pulling you to be my tool people."

"Even if you are a tool person, don't you have to be willing?"

"Aren't you the one who didn't want to, and refused to match?"

"Are you rehashing old scores with me?"

The atmosphere was so relaxed for a while that even Jing Rong felt that the strangeness of yesterday's moment might be an illusion.

The two made small talk and tacitly did not mention the awkward hotel trifle last night.

Xi Gu does not want to pry into Jing Rong's privacy, Jing Rong is feeling too embarrassed, being so pestered by AO and let Xi Gu see, explain seems trivial, do not explain the heart blocked panic.

" Xi Gu, there's something else I might have to trouble you with, do you know anyone? Preferably someone who knows a little bit about filming techniques."

From where you fall, you get up.

The original owner was the first seizure on stage, then he had to overcome, but also from the actors to the camera to restore that time to do.

Jing Rong is of course aware of the huge impact of this incident on Weibo, which is not exactly suppressed now, except that many people are still waiting for the follow-up. No one will give him time to adapt, he must get over his camera phobia before he starts shooting.

Xi Gu gave a list of names straight away and then asked, "Are these OK?"

The speed is almost like being prepared.

"Isn't it...too good to be true that all these people need to be scheduled out of their slots, right?"

"Well, they happen to be free." Xi Gu doesn't mention in the slightest that he is behind the scenes, knocking on trips over and over again.

The names Jing Rong heard sounded familiar, all of whom had made a name for themselves in the industry, whether they were cinematographers, actors, lighting technicians, script proofreaders, etc.

These people are usually very busy and there is a queue for appointments. Some of them have a proud reputation in the industry for being very difficult to get appointments with, so even if he uses Shi Xie's name, he may not be able to get such a comprehensive list.

Near the end of their conversation, Xi Gu again said from the perspective of a senior, "I hope you will put aside your other achievements for a while, when you choose to act again, you are just an actor. When you choose to go back to acting, you are just an actor. On this road, besides flowers and applause, there must be bricks. Don't be easily discouraged, believe in yourself, believe in my vision, I never chose you because I know you." Xi Gu finally said the words at the right time.

Jing Rong especially likes Xi Gu's sunny and positive attitude, who would have thought that he is actually facing all kinds of pressure all the time.

"Well, I don't trust myself, I have to trust you too."

Xi Gu: "This time you need to race against time, you only have these days, the opening ceremony day, there may be some entertainment and gossip public number of people to the scene, no one knows what that group of people will write. I heard Dao Liu say that the crew will not clear the scene for the time being in order to save their reputation, so your chance may only be this once."

"If you don't pass this time, will you change it?"

"Maybe."

Jing Rong's smile warmed up: "It's rare for you to talk to me in such a tone, it feels particularly old-fashioned."

Xi Gu original serious face, slightly across: "No kidding, and ...... not allowed to call me old." Also only one year older than you, don't remind me.

After hanging up the phone, Jing Rong looked at the screen display, although Xi Gu's attitude seems to be about the same as usual. It was even slightly more enthusiastic than the usual cold look, and would take the initiative to flirt.

But Jing Rong always felt that something was wrong, I couldn't tell.

This feeling, like a cat's claw, scratching at the tip of the heart.

Xi Gu's smile eased off.

In fact, it is possible to speak in a friendly way without any ambiguity, looking at Jing Rong's attitude, and would not want him to ask about yesterday's incident.

He made the right move.

Xi Gu has to prepare for the next red carpet session, but the dresses haven't been delivered since yesterday until today.

Yesterday, they politely said they would deliver the clothes immediately, but from today onwards, they either said they had made a mistake in the style or the delivery person had a temporary situation, and in general, they gave various excuses.

Dian Mo came in with an anxious face: " Xi Gu, the brand we had agreed to work with suddenly said they weren't going to work with us anymore and just cancelled the delivery."

Usually this situation will be communicated in advance, where there are still a few hours left in the opening ceremony, suddenly change of mind.

Xi Gu personally to contact, the other party is at first refused to answer the phone, for Asian stars and European and American stars, obviously two attitudes, otherwise can not do such a masculine and subversive things.

The other side only later implicitly said that if Xi Gu could apologize formally to someone, then the cooperation could continue.

Xi Gu heard the name, it is known that the banquet on his obscene xie did not succeed the red-haired star, to the other party in the international curiosity, a word for the brand to choose, the brand naturally know how to weigh.

Xi Gu hung up the phone straight away, asking him to beg for peace with an obscene xie offender, absolutely impossible!

Dian Mo was so anxious that she walked around the room.

"What should we do? It's too late for us to contact other brands!"

"Even in time, the other side can not transfer suitable models, we are the only Chinese film to enter the competition this time, do not compete for buns, compete for breath ah!"

"But even if it's delivered, it doesn't always fit!"

They are pre-ordered to fit Xi Gu's size, and the designers usually make a point of modifying the details for the borrowed stars, which is not visible to the average person, but the professionals can see the problem at a glance.

Xi Gu is still calm and collected, but Dian Mo is about to explode.

" Xi Gu , why are you not responding!"

"Really the emperor is not anxious, anxious to die ...... cough!"

Xi Gu is not anxious, it is too anxious to be more calm.

He was thinking about how many people he could contact this time, to contact each other to see if they could help this time, even if the clothes were out of season, at least not to make a fool of themselves on the red carpet.

At this time, an abrupt phone call came in, the caller display wood pear official website.

Xi Gu clicked on the connection, and the other party said that the raw materials for rubies would take some time and might be delayed in sending, so I don't know if you can wait.

Perhaps it was one blow after another, Xi Gu looked calm: "Okay, there is no rush, when you have it, when you send it."

Do you have to postpone even a little false thought.

Dian Mo suddenly slapped his head and almost jumped up: "Wait, Xi Gu!"

He suddenly thought of something and rushed to his house. In fact, when Jing Rong instructed him to get something from the shuttle bus, there was a beautifully wrapped box in addition to the duffel bag, and Jing Rong said it might be useful if there was any situation over at Xi Gu.

Dian Mo felt that the box was too big, so at that time directly stuffed into his suitcase, he brought a total of two suitcases, a spare.

Because of jet lag, he didn't open the spare one and forgot about it for a while.

He ran back and immediately opened the box and quickly unwrapped the ribbon on top.

Inside is a well ironed suit, a watch box, a cuff box, a brooch box ......

Jing Rong does not have the ability to foretell, but he knows that the protagonist is surrounded by all kinds of "accidents", all kinds of possible drama.

Because of their own destruction, the heavens may also add drama.

So Jing Rong just prepared an extra copy of what he could think of just in case.

Dian Mo Mo gave a startled cry and fell limply to the ground.

Just now too urgent, now suddenly relaxed, it can not control the body.

He certainly doesn't think Jing Rong knew about it in advance, which was originally unanticipated.

That ferocious Alpha also knows too much about it, no wonder Xi Gu has a different attitude towards him.

He deserves to be special, and such people should always be special.

Dian Mo re-entered Xi Gu's room as if she were holding a treasure, and Xi Gu was on the balcony calling a designer she knew well.

Trying to borrow clothes that fit him within three hours, but calling the fifth one, all said that the time was too short and they might need to ask for him.

"No problem, so let me know if you hear anything." Xi Gu, speaking fluent American English, said thank you.

When he returned to the house with a serious face, he saw that Dian Mo's expression looked like he had won the lottery, which was different from what he had just seen.

Xi Gu : "What are you holding."

"Look at it, come look at it." Dian Mo speaks faster, he can't be the only one excited.

Xi Gu walked over, opened the box, and his whole expression was frozen.

Dian Mo rare to see the calm Xi Gu have this kind of expression management does not match his look, scared, I just directly stunned, okay?

Xi Gu touched the white suit with first-class material and alignment, and also saw the matching diamond accessories, which were well matched by the designer.

The brand is Xie, the Xie of the Xie family.

Xie is a first-tier brand, and if you look at its history, you have to go back several generations. This time the successor to Shi Xie, Ling Xie, continues the style of the older generation, not hiring anyone to endorse it, but instead elevating it to a much higher level of class and style.

Ling Xie has said in public that every product of Xie is handmade, and if there is a spokesperson, there is no soul.

Probably because these words are so unconventional, Ling Xie is not less popular at home and abroad despite his low profile, and his status as a diamond aristocrat has attracted people of all ages to come and go.

Xi Gu, who is very sensitive to fashion, knows that this outfit is probably unpublished.

Sure enough on the official website to check, the season's new does not have it, apparently custom-made.

With Xie's reputation, it is not worse than the brand he borrowed before, and because Xie does not do endorsements and is known for his mystery, it is instead higher in style.

There is that one radish that is buried deep in the ground.

He found him, then carefully touched the tassels, watered them with rain and sun, and raised them secretly.

He always tells himself that enough is enough, don't go any further, and that should be enough.

But this radish, it seems, is never aware of the danger.

It was always a heavy blow to his heart when he was taken by surprise.

Xi Gu changed into his suit, a white suit that fit him well, a color Xi Gu had never tried before, and Xi Gu had always felt he didn't fit into such a clean color.

Dian Mo opened her mouth when she saw him walk out, but couldn't get a word out.

"Is that okay?" Xi Gu was a little uncomfortable.

"May, may!" It's so okay, my eyes are going to be blinded by you!!!

He got it, the Alpha had a unique vision, and white was too good for Xi Gu.

At the door sounded the urging of the rest of the cast to get to the set.

"Then we--"

Xi Gu spoke in a slight tone and suddenly turned his head to look at the bag.

There, there is a Pandora's Box.

If you open it, you will fall under its spell.

Xi Gu only by instinct slowly towards the Pandora's box, this moment he did not even think about anything, only a strong desire to pounce out of the chest, burning reason.

He couldn't wait to do something so he wouldn't be burned out by that fire.

He quickly unzipped his bag, found his Pandora, and gently opened it.

"Ah!"
