Chapter 98: The Soft Rice Man’s Self-Cultivation 14

The online turmoil gradually calmed down, and netizens were forgetful.
Apart from Qu Jianglin’s fans, who were still brooding that Yan Chu robbed their master’s resources, firmly believed that Yan Chu and Chu Yinmeng had a secret relationship, many other netizens got drawn by this wave of enthusiasm.
They got attracted by Yan Chu’s face, which hugely increased a wave of fans.
It was a blessing in disguise.

Chu Yinmeng knew about the relationship between Yan Chu and Zhong Li, and because she got such a good resource, she did not worry about the other party at all because of this incident.
How they got along on the set before and after that was frank and high-minded.
It made those who doubted them more and more ashamed.

As the third male lead, Yan Chu did not have many scenes.
He An was picky about this drama and not satisfied with almost every scene, repeated it more than 10-20 times.
Therefore, unless it was the day when Yan Chu’s scenes were more concentrated, he basically completed his scenes.
When it was the second scene, most of the day might have passed or waited until the next day.

Yan Chu, who had nothing to do and could not leave the set, held a mobile phone every day to find entertaining jokes to relieve his golden master’s fatigue or shamelessly asked her to take a short break to video his lovesickness.
His days were not monotonous at all.

But today’s Yan Chu was obviously busy.
Not knowing why, but He An mentioned his scenes would be shot in the next two days.
The four scenes, filmed from morning to evening.
It also made Yan Chu truly feel the fatigue of filming.

It was not midsummer yet, but the temperature was 28-29 degrees every day.
In this weather, he had to wear a three-piece suit and wrapped his whole body tightly, and every pore was uncontrollably sweating.

Yan Chu was still a newcomer and received the newcomer’s film salary.
For this film, he received 300,000 Yuan.
Excluding the company and the manager, the salary of his two assistants was from his account.
This amount was because Zhong Li signed the best contract for him, and the company’s commission was relatively small.

However, he was still not well-known.
The shooting period of a movie was generally about three or four months.
The scenes of Yan Chu’s role were not many.
If the focus was on shooting, it might take less time.
Although filming was tiring, it was indeed too rich compared with the return he brings.
This number was not counted as the explosive rise in film pay after he became famous.

No wonder so many people wanted to be stars.
The money came too fast.

The first thing Yan Chu did when he returned to the hotel was to take a shower quickly and then turned on the computer to see the stocks he had invested in.

“Variety show?”

Only allowed on Creativenovels.com

While he was studying, he received a call from Song Fei.
Finally, he understood why Director He focused on shooting his scenes for the next two days.
It turned out that Song Fei had a variety show for him.

On the phone, Song Fei said that he would ask the nanny car to pick him up at the hotel at 9 a.m.
tomorrow and then did the styling.
The other party planned to let him appear on a few shows with some exposure during his filming interval, not wasting his accumulated popularity.

Yan Chu was not disgusted with this.
Being on the show meant earning money, and making money meant his capital was increasing.

He touched his chin and looked at the low assets that were still small due to the capital amount even though the rise was good.
Now he still owed hundreds of thousands of money to the golden master.
The money was the one Zhong Li gave when he kept him for his father’s treatment.
Although this number was nothing in the other party’s eyes, Yan Chu felt that if he planned to go on for a long time in the future, he did better pay back the money first.

“Welcome to Happiness 100%.
We are a happy family.”

Familiar opening words, two program hosts appeared on the stage in fancy and eye-catching clothes.

Happiness 100% was a variety show with a relatively high rating in this world’s Chinese entertainment circle.
The filming got done indoors.
The main reason was that the hosts took the guests to do some mini-games and some interviews.
Because the program started a long time ago, there were a large number of stable audiences.

Yan Chu was in Happiness 100% this time, borrowed the light of this show’s theme.

My male and female school idols, this was the current theme of this program.

Yan Chu’s face was very presentable even at the Film Academy.
It was not an exaggeration to say that he was a school male idol.
This time, some traffic stars have been famous for several years besides the newcomers who planned to enter the entertainment industry or were in the process of exposure like him.
Most of them were the predecessors who got called school idols before or became popular under this hype method.

He did not know whether it was an accident or something, but Qu Jianglin was also within the school idol rank.

Yan Chu looked at the moment when he came out of his private lounge and looked closely at the stiff-faced man.
He soon diverted his attention.

“Happiness 100% invites you this time.
I guess the hosts will talk about the previous matter.
However, for my face, they won’t talk too much.
This show is a good exposure opportunity.
No matter how stupid Qu Jianglin is, he won’t face you during the show.
Be smart.
If he wants to play a good friend, you can play along with him.
Don’t accidentally fall into his trap.”

Song Fei whispered in Yan Chu’s ear.

The choreographer-director of Happiness 100% was not stupid.
He would choose to invite Yan Chu, not thinking of the sparks that might burst out when Yan Chu and Qu Jianglin get together, especially the fans of Qu Jianglin.
They just released the preview yesterday, which had attracted a lot of attention.

For another artist, Song Fei might not be willing to take this risk, but he saw Yan Chu’s composure these days.
Qu Jianglin had been in this circle for many years, and he did not understand much as this young man beside him.

“I understand.”

Yan Chu nodded.
Just then, several people who had appeared before had finished their monologues, and it was Yan Chu’s turn to go on stage.

“Wow, this little brother is so handsome.”

The audience sitting in the front row could clearly see the looks of everyone on the stage.
The camera lens was very makeup-oriented.
Even male celebrities would apply makeup before being photographed.
There would be no shortage of eyebrows, eyeliner, and foundation.
Qu Jianglin had more acne marks on his face, so his foundation was also heavier.

The audience in the back might not see clearly, but the audience in the front row could be aware of it.

But Yan Chu was different.
His skin was already outstanding.
In addition, he maintained the habit of fitness every day.
He ate and slept healthily, and his skin became brighter without any blemishes.

The makeup artist did not know where to start when doing*10 his face.
The makeup artist only put a layer of the makeup base on his face and applied some matte loose powder to prevent his face from getting oily.
By trimming his eyebrows, the makeup artist slightly swept some nose shadows and the side shadows of his face.
His lips were coated with a layer of lip gloss only, showing natural pink color, and his whole facial makeup was clean and beautiful.

Especially now, when the white light was hitting his body.
When one came face to face, his body was luminous, which made people completely unable to look away.

Qu Jianglin and Yan Chu were standing together.
They were obviously handsome by themselves.
But after standing together, Qu Jianglin’s makeup was too heavy, and the shadow looked too dirty.
All of a sudden, it looked greasy and artificial, which was more than one grade lower.

The fans, who initially came for Qu Jianglin but were not steady, almost became unfaithful at the scene.

After all the three pairs of male and female school idols came out, the game began after a simple self-introduction.

The first round of the game was Truth or Dare that everyone knew.
The person who draws King Card chose the number and decided the content of Truth or Dare, and the owner of the number the king read had to stand up and decide whether to perform the dare or chose the truth.

The gameplay was quite simple.
Almost anyone who had never been in contact with this game could learn the rules after listening to it.

The hosts and guests altogether became eight people.
Except for a king card, the rest were number one to number seven.

Yan Chu drew the card for the first time, and it happened to be number seven.

“Hahaha, it’s truly my home advantage.
I’m the king in the first round.”

One man and one woman were the Happiness 100% hosts.
They were both senior figures in the host community, especially He Jun, who had just spoken, was very popular with the audience.

In the first round, he was lucky to draw the king card.

“No.
1 and No.
7 dance a waltz.
If you are not willing to perform this dare, please answer what type of boy or girl you like.”

After saying that, he looked at the guests present, including his partner, maliciously.
The audience got amused by his expression and shouted the truth in unison.
Compared with the idols dancing, of course, it was interesting to dig their unknown heart.

“I’m number seven.”

Yan Chu lifted the card in his hand up and then watched Qu Jianglin, who also raised the card in his hand.

“I’m afraid I can’t waltz because I hurt my foot when shooting Wolf Chasing Tiger before.”

Qu Jianglin’s expression was a bit distressed.
The dare was a matter of two people.
If one person decided to tell the truth, he still had to ask the opinion of the other person who had gotten drawn with him.

“I’m all right either way.”

Yan Chu smiled magnanimously, as if unaware of Qu Jianglin’s malice hidden under his smile.

“Wow!”

The guests on the side booed along, and Qu Jianglin’s fans also looked forward to it.

In reality, Qu Jianglin had answered similar questions in other programs in the past.

“For the time being, I still focus on my career and will not have a girlfriend, but if I have plans to fall in love one day, I hope that the girl’s personality is gentle and kind, and there is no other requirement like heights and weights.
If I like her, I will like her.
Of course, the most important thing in my heart is my fans.
If one day, I indeed fall in love, you will be the first to know.”

He said it sincerely.
The fans screeched afterward.
The male celebrities’ female fans were automatically brought into the position of their girlfriends to chase their star.
No one was more unhappy to see their favorite idols have a girlfriend than them.

Qu Jianglin’s temporary focus on his career meant they could follow him for a few more years.
The most important thing was that his words put fans in a high position.
As his fans, they were naturally happy.

“Yan Chu is still young, so he must like cute little girls, right?”

When Qu Jianglin finished, he also asked Yan Chu with a smile.
As soon as this came out, the audience at the bottom did not feel anything.
All the people sitting on the stage were individuals with extensive experience and immediately realized Qu Jianglin’s unfriendliness to Yan Chu.

Before, Yan Chu had an affair with Chu Yinmeng.
Now Qu Jianglin asked if Yan Chu liked a cute little girl.
How did Yan Chu answer?

“On the contrary, I prefer mature and successful women.”

Yan Chu did not seem to realize the trap Qu Jianglin had laid for him and answered frankly.

Regardless of what kind of WTF the guests sitting near him felt, the audience watching this live broadcast on the Internet in front of the TV was also surprised by Yan Chu’s bluntness.

【My first reaction: Chu Yinmeng knows how to support me】

【Bump, little brother, is he too honest? Is this self explosion?】

【Hahaha, Puppy Yan admits that he likes the one who is more successful in a career than himself.
What does he mean? Do you need us to say it? Where are the fans of that Chu bitch? See if my face is swelling】

Qu Jianglin’s fans were estimated to be the happiest on the Internet.
In just a few words, Yan Chu had made up a big show and delighted wantonly.

【The person upstairs is also a female, right? Don’t you think it’s very unpleasant to hear to be called a bitch?】

【It depends on who it’s aimed at.
It doesn’t matter how ugly the Chu bitch words are】

Dear Readers.
Scrapers have recently been devasting our views.
At this rate, the site (creativenovels .com) might…let's just hope it doesn't come to that.
If you are reading on a scraper site.
Please don't.

The scandal heat that had extinguished at the time tended to make a comeback.
Qu Jianglin’s fans and Chu Yinmeng’s fans soon fought on the Internet.

“Yan Chu, do you mean a mature and successful woman like sister Yinmeng?”

Qu Jianglin asked about Yan Chu’s privacy shortcomings and pretended to be joking in the show.

Chu Yinmeng was thirty-five this year.
This age was not too old for a famous actress.
But the other party debuted early, and her status was there.
Many people in the circle call her sister, which was not necessarily related to her age.

“No, no, no.”

Yan Chu seemed to be shocked by Qu Jianglin’s words, and his face blushed.

“Sister Yinmeng is a very nice and close senior.
I admire her very much, but that is the appreciation of the juniors for seniors, not the man’s appreciation for a woman.”

Yan Chu was flustered and anxious to explain, but he could not explain clearly.
His blushing face made the audience laugh.
But it was this eager appearance that made his words sound highly credible at this moment.

【Qu Jianglin’s words… I find it weird, but I feel that Yan Chu is a bit cute.
How to deal with it?】

【I feel the same.
Look at Yan Chu’s reaction, so Chu Yinmeng is indeed his senior.
His anxious smiling face is red.
I really want to kiss him.
I blame Auntie for being a bit restless】

Because of Yan Chu’s supplementary answer, except for some Qu Jianglin fans on the Internet, the response seemed good for the time being.
Few people thought about what Yan Chu and Chu Yinmeng had.

Including those of Chu Yinmeng’s fans, since Chu Yinmeng said that Yan Chu was her favorite junior brother, even if they tore so fiercely with Qu Jianglin’s fans this time, they did not bring Yan Chu with them.
In addition, Yan Chu just praised their master, and their favor for him rose.

“Before I became an actor, my dream was to be a househusband.
I like cooking, cleaning, and children.
One is not many, and two are not many.
I am confident that I can bring them when I have four, five, or six births.
I always dreamed that my future wife could be a strong woman.
She is responsible for making money to support the family.
And I am responsible for being beautiful.
Even if I enter the show business now, my original preference has been set.
For me, maybe a mature sister is more in line with my vision when choosing a spouse.”

Yan Chu seriously explained why he liked older women with successful careers.

【It’s the first time I saw a man who would live off a woman.
It was so refreshing and refined, hahahaha, Yan Chu is really too much.
He doesn’t know whether he is a public figure or a young student who takes the traffic route, so when answering this question, isn’t it time to show his boyfriend’s strength?】

【I am a successful career woman, my mobile phone number is 150*******73, I lack a master husband at home, with the main job is to warm the bed.
Welcoming little brother to call me】

Yan Chu’s answer is different from the template of previous celebrities’ answers.
In today’s society, the mainstream was still that men bear most of the responsibility for supporting the family, or men and women share the responsibility for raising the family.
Few men took the initiative to say that they wanted to be the househusband and wanted to find a wife who would be responsible for financing the family, especially a male star.
Yan Chu was the only one for 5,000 years.

【The group of love-struck fool women, don’t they exactly grow slightly better? I also want to stay at home and not work.
I can also take care of the housework.
Without a house or car, would anyone want to marry me? Hehe.
】

【Upstairs70, do you not find the main point? The main point is the face】

Zhong Li, who was supposed to deal with some vital documents, rarely took a short vacation.
There was Happiness 100% live broadcast on the computer in the office.

She was pretty rich, extremely wealthy.
And she had a successful career and was very stable.

The corner of Zhong Li’s mouth conjured up a restrained and proud smile.

The live broadcast continued.
After Yan Chu and Qu Jianglin answered the truth, Yan Chu was never drawn again until the end of the game, and he was not lucky to be the king.

Yan Chu knew that usually, such variety games had their own scripts.
The two hosts who dealt with the cards should understand the rules they did not know.
At least it was evident in the game that those few genuine popular teen idols always got drawn the most times, and the relatively less popular newcomers only had one or two chances to speak.

Variety shows also needed ratings.
The audience liked to see who played the game and did not like to see who played the game.
They also held a scale, which Yan Chu did not feel strange.

Later in the show, Yan Chu always maintained a straightforward, occasionally shy appearance.
In the game of physical strength, he brushed a wave of sense of existence by keeping his endurance through long-term fitness.
Generally speaking, the effect of this variety show was excellent.

This matter could be seen from the How to Raise the Little Wolfdog Yan topic, which went up again on the Internet.

【Have you seen the abs that I just glanced at? I swear by my eyes of twenty-six years of being single, 8 Yuan.
】

【I got on the big couch and entered the kitchen.
My main face is okay.
I hate it at this time.
Why do I have no money? 】

【Without money, I cried and fainted on the bed, and suddenly I liked Little Wolfdog Yan.
I decided to contribute to his box office for his first movie.
If Little Wolfdog has enough money, he may support me.
】

Yan Chu’s Weibo got soon captured by the “golden masters” who grew attracted to visit.

Following the craze for taking care of, Yan Chu’s first fan group got established.
Fans claimed to be the golden master.
The titles that other male stars shunned turned into nicknames here, and the following group called him Little Wolfdog Yan and said they would work hard to make money to keep his fans.
This unique scene was the only one.

This point coincided with the route planned by Song Fei for Yan Chu, saving him a sum of money to find the water army69.

Anyway, this positioning got established.
When fans, including passers-by, gradually accept this setting, in a few years, even if the matter of Yan Chu and Zhong Li exploded, the impact would get reduced to a controllable range as much as possible.

Song Fei had spent a lot of effort on his promising new star.

“Ah.”

Su Can also watched the program word by word in front of the TV.
He could not help being more vigilant about Yan Chu’s scheming methods.

He was a shameless man.
Su Can did not like Yan Chu in his heart.
He had no self-esteem and had no bottom line to please Zhong Li for money.
It was no wonder that their starting point itself was different.

He would still be the second generation of an official, flattered by everyone without his father’s accident.
However, even without his father, his education and broad vision were higher than that little artist who was born from an impoverished family and had low cultural literacy.

Su Can did not think Zhong Li would genuinely start liking a man like Yan Chu.
It was just a temporary novelty.
He turned on his phone to check the date, and there were still seven days left.

“Hello, Linda, it’s me, Lauren.
I’m waiting for you in room 1007.”

He turned the TV off, pulled his tie, and walked towards the bathroom.
