Ono's feelings for Xu Yi wouldn't allow them to go public at this time. Even if they did, they would wait a few years until Xu Yi had achieved a certain level of success, and Ono wanted to help her achieve even greater success.
Xu Yi was unaware of their plans. Every time she heard Xiao Ye's plans for her future career, she was very anxious. If things continued like this, the public announcement would be delayed indefinitely.
So Xu Yi, who wanted to go public, decided to take a roundabout approach. During the day, she worked obediently with Xiao Ye outside, but as soon as she got home, she changed. She pestered Gu Yueyue to go public, crying and taking off her clothes at the same time.
Xu Yi smiled and handed over the tablet. "Teacher Gu, I've arranged everything. This is a video we filmed when we proposed. I've edited it all. Can we just post it online?"
Gu Yueyue's hands were a little dirty, so she didn't take the tablet from her.
Xu Yan decided to come in and sit on the floor with her, then opened the short video she had prepared. "Teacher Gu, look."
The background music is beautiful and the artistic conception is also very good. Han Muzhou truly lives up to her reputation as a dedicated and capable worker in the industry. She strives to do her best in everything she does and demands perfection from herself in everything she does.
So even while learning on set, I acquired excellent filming skills.
The proposal, from the moment Xu Yi hurriedly turned on the camera, gave people a professional feeling.
The camera followed Xu Yi down the mountain. Everyone was a little nervous along the way because Zheng Wan and Zhang Ya had permission to appear on camera. Xu Liang, on the other hand, was blurred out. After all, she wasn't in the entertainment industry. She was the wife of the richest man in Jinshi Province, a key technical staff member in the Guo Jia department with a lucrative job, a Taoist priest wandering the streets, and a special ghost messenger from the underworld in the mortal world.
Upon receiving Gu Yueyue, Xu Yi spent several days refining the music he played himself, building the tense atmosphere in the video to a climax, and then making it ambiguous and romantic at the moment the two embraced.
Peach blossoms bloom atop Cangshan Mountain, where snow foxes frolic with their enchanting nine tails.
Xu Yi somehow managed to make it feel like a blockbuster movie.
“This…” Gu Yueyue vaguely sensed that Ma Youcai was involved in some of the schemes.
Xu Yi didn't hide anything, "Director Ma designed it for me. He said that this way, the audience can be drawn into the story to the greatest extent. It's like their own marriage proposal, which can effectively isolate a group of people from opposition."
Gu Yueyue smiled, surprised that Xu Yi had prepared so much behind her back.
She looked up and saw the fatigue on Xu Yi's face, but her smile remained unchanged, showing how much she was looking forward to this public appearance.
Xu Yi has to work during the day, and when she gets home at night she still pesters me and makes a fuss. I really don't know where she finds the time to do all this.
"Are you really sure? Do you want to go public?" Gu Yueyue looked directly into her eyes, wanting to confirm one last time.
Xu Yi nodded very seriously, just as seriously as when she went to the Gu family to propose marriage and the Gu family head asked her to confirm.
Gu Yueyue chuckled and leaned forward slightly to kiss Xu Yi's lips.
It was just a simple touch, but the soft texture made her happy, and her voice even tinged with a little lisp.
"Then let's make it public."
Xu Yi blinked, as if she hadn't heard what she was saying.
"Hmm? You've changed your mind again?" Gu Yueyue looked at her with a smile, knowing it was impossible, but still wanting to tease Xu Yi.
Xu Yi stood up from the ground and screamed, "Ah! Teacher Gu, you agreed?!"
"uh-huh."
"I, I..." Xu Yi threw the tablet onto the bed behind her, reached out and pulled Gu Yueyue up from the ground, hugging her tightly. "Teacher Gu, I love you!"
"Silly. I love you too."
"Teacher Gu, have I been too willful?"
When Xu Yi was actually granted a request, she began to doubt herself again.
"So, are you still going to send it or not?"
"hair!"
Xu Yi was a little excited. It took her half a minute to unlock the tablet, her fingertips trembling slightly. She sat down next to Gu Yueyue, nestled in her arms, and pursed her lips tightly as she found the video she had been preparing for more than a month.
"I thought you wouldn't agree."
Xu Yi looked at the notification that the video had been successfully transmitted, her eyes slightly red. It was going to be public, and she could naturally hold Teacher Gu's hand in public now.
This relationship doesn't need to be hidden or avoided by anyone; they should be standing in the sunlight.
Ono's side was already prepared. As soon as Xu Yi's video was released, the online trolls that Ono had arranged swarmed in.
However, the platform system crashed, and the whole thing became a huge spectacle, trending on social media for days until a new big news story emerged.
For example, Jiang Rujin's secret marriage was made public.
For example, the live stream of Han Muzhou's wedding.
For example, Won Bei-do publicly proposed to someone.
For example, Ji Wenwen quietly withdrew from the entertainment industry.
The sheer volume of new gossip has caused their popularity to fade quickly.
After the storm passed, Gu Yueyue thanked Han Muzhou and Yuan Beidu. If they hadn't shared some of the attention, her public announcement with Xu Yi probably wouldn't have ended so perfectly.
As for Jiang Rujin and Ji Wenwen, they just happened to run into each other.
Gu Yueyue had no personal relationship with any of them.
Chapter 128
Xu Yi got her wish, and both she and Gu Yueyue were very happy.
However, Ma Youcai was even happier than them.
The two leading actresses announced their relationship, so he could skip the promotion for this movie altogether.
Of course, many people also suspect that they may have developed feelings for each other while filming, and that they may eventually move on from each other and wish each other well in finding someone better.
Just thinking about these common tricks used in the entertainment industry makes fans unhappy when they ship couples. They're terrified, afraid that the two will break up right after they're getting into it.
Xu Yi was riding high and used both threats and inducements to get Xiao Ye to give her a break.
Ono was so anxious she almost cried. In the evening, she rushed to Gu Yueyue's house and said she wanted to resign.
Gu Yueyue had just picked Xiaoxiao up from kindergarten when she heard Xiaoye's crying. She panicked slightly and quickly asked her what was wrong.
"Were you bullied?" Gu Yueyue poured her a glass of her favorite juice.
Ono wasn't really crying; she just wanted to use the opportunity to complain about Xu Yi's recent lack of work performance.
"She doesn't care anymore, it's money! The contract's already signed, how can she not go!"
Gu Yueyue considered it for a moment. Xiao Xu had indeed been working very hard lately. It wasn't that she couldn't afford the penalty for breach of contract, but it was inconvenient for her to do such things at this stage, so as not to provoke the dissatisfaction of her partners.
After thinking it over, Gu Yueyue took the responsibility.
"Don't be sad. I'll talk to her later." Gu Yueyue sighed softly. She had told Xu Yi that she could have an easier time in this industry with her protection, but now it seemed that Xu Yi was completely overwhelmed by work and had no free time.
"That's exactly what I was waiting for you to say." Ono sniffed and downed her juice in one gulp. "Then I'll head back now. Sis, you really have to talk to her."
Ono burped, it was hard to tell if it was a burp from crying or a full stomach, "This is for your future!"
"Okay, I understand. I'll try to talk her out of it. Don't cry." Gu Yueyue stood up and invited her to stay for dinner.
"I'm not eating anymore. I'm afraid Xu Yi will poison me later." Xiao Ye grabbed her bag and ran off.
After she left, Xu Yi came out of the study, silent and listless, waiting for Gu Yueyue to persuade her to go to work.
Gu Yueyue didn't say anything, but smiled and hugged her, asking her what she wanted to eat that night.
"Teacher Gu?" Xu Yi followed her into the kitchen, watching Gu Yueyue skillfully prepare the ingredients. "Teacher Gu, are you angry?"
Xu Yi asked the question carefully. She wasn't being lazy or unhelpful, but she could only accompany Teacher Gu for a few short decades. She had absolutely no interest in work and didn't want to waste her time.
If she needs money, now that she understands the world, she can find other ways to earn it and live a good life.
"Do you like acting?" Gu Yueyue remembered asking Xu Yi before, wondering if Xu Yi's answer had changed.
Xu Yi thought about it for a moment. She didn't have a deep feeling about acting, but she did like the feeling of working with Gu Yueyue on a movie. It gave her a sense of familiarity.
Xu Yi nodded.
Gu Yueyue added a piece of the prepared meat slice to her mouth, and Xu Yi ate it from her hand. The taste was almost identical to what she remembered.
"Since you like it, how about we only act in dramas from now on?" Gu Yueyue thought for a moment and decided to take on fewer endorsements, which would make her work much easier.
Gu Yueyue couldn't help but smile. How many people in this industry are eager for a constant stream of resources? Xu Yi, on the other hand, always has a long face and doesn't want to go to work, complaining that there's too much work and it's too tiring.
"Okay." Xu Yi understood what Gu Yueyue meant. She had tried to persuade herself, but she probably wanted to persuade Xiao Ye more.
Ono wants to make her a top star. Although she is not far from becoming a top star, the announcement of her relationship still caused some impact. Ono urgently needs her to generate more exposure and popularity to eliminate the impact of that incident.
Gu Yueyue coaxed Xu Yi in just one night. She talked and did so much that she exhausted her mouth.
The next day, Gu Yueyue met with Xiao Ye again and this time had a real talk with her.
"Xiao Ye, I know what you're planning, but Xiao Xu and I don't have such high ambitions. I'm sorry to disappoint you."
"No, sister, don't say that." Ono's eyes were red. "I was too hasty in arranging so much work for Xu Yi without considering her feelings."
"I know you mean well. Turn down all the endorsements you can. Take on more dramas in the future, preferably ones where we can be together." Gu Yueyue really enjoys acting with Xu Yi. She can teach Xu Yi some techniques during filming, and the two can also spend time together in private.
Ono knew exactly what she meant, and was both amused and exasperated. "I understand. I'll shift my focus to the other people in the studio from now on."
"Sis, how about we hire another agent? Someone to handle your work. As for me..." Ono looked up slightly, making a big decision before speaking, "I still want to focus on my career!"
"Okay. I'll have Xiao Wang handle this. You go and focus on your career." Gu Yueyue was amused by her.
She also realized that she and Xu Yi, being two lazy bums, had hindered Xiao Ye, a rising star agent in the entertainment industry.
With Ono gone, Xu Yi's work became increasingly easier.
A new agent joined the company. He was a tall, thin man who was also a lazy bum. He was disliked by artists in the industry because he was too lazy. He was planning to go back to his hometown and take over his father's supermarket. Unexpectedly, he was approached by someone again after leaving the company.
The salary was good, the benefits were good, and he was working with a beautiful woman. Most importantly, his two colleagues were just as unambitious as him.
The three of them hit it off immediately.
In the days that followed, Xu Yi was not far from achieving success in her career.
She does two TV series every year, and sometimes takes on a movie role, but most of the time she acts with Gu Yueyue.
They also participate in variety shows and often appear on various variety shows together. Even though the two of them have announced their relationship, the inexplicable "cult-like" couple still emerged.
Gu Yueyue secretly visited the set several times, finally managing to shift the online sentiment towards the couple somewhat.
Xiaoxiao has started primary school from kindergarten.
During the elementary school entrance exam, she and Gu Yueyue took Xiaoxiao to school together.
