Lu Dan, her supervisor, had been single for a very long time, working round daily for her artists’ issues, with no ideas of contemplating males.
When Wen Li requested her this, she was bowled over.
“Simply, submit one thing on Moments to trace that you just hope to obtain surprises in your birthday. Like that?”
Wen Li understood and instantly took out her cellphone to submit on Moments.
In just some minutes, she obtained many likes and feedback.
Among the many feedback have been from buddies within the business, and some acquainted producers, however there was no like or remark from Tune Yan.
Lu Dan mentioned, “Instructor Tune might be busy.”
“I assume so.”
Wen Li did not assume Lu Dan was simply brushing her off. Tune Yan was genuinely busy.
The day after they completed filming the second day of the ninth episode of [In This World With You], Tune Yan rushed to Bin Metropolis with out a break. Wen Li had deliberate to go along with him, however the official announcement for the sport endorsement could not be delayed any longer. The endorsement photoshoot and promotional video shoot have been scheduled just lately. She had no selection however to complete her present work first.
She apologized to Director Qiu for this and Director Qiu did not thoughts. He defined that they hadn’t began filming but and this journey was simply to get a really feel for town prematurely. As a consequence of script points, they wanted to make use of a number of particular places, so that they needed to make advance preparations with the native authorities. This journey wasn’t necessary for the actors.
Tune Yan went there as a result of it was his private behavior. He appreciated to arrange prematurely for each position. Since this film was being filmed in Bin Metropolis, he went with the crew to familiarize himself with town’s wealthy historical past and native customs, which might profit his character.
His success inside a brief span of ten years was not with out purpose.
In an period the place the leisure business was changing into more and more fast-paced, “brief” was the unanimous pursuit of all capital events for leisure merchandise. Time was extra beneficial than anything. Within the eyes of some capital events, given the identical time interval, it was extra worthwhile to spend time and vitality sharpening a film with a 50-50 likelihood of success than to spend money on a number of fast-food films that will make cash even when they failed.
Those that nonetheless continued within the former class within the business have been actually fueled by ardour. As for fame and fortune, it wasn’t their concern. They merely cherished their occupation and cherished their work. Or, they have been like Director Qiu, already standing on the pinnacle of the business, with a popularity and a stable basis. Their films had no hassle attracting advertisers, so they may afford to take their time to shine the small print and attempt to ship an ideal film to the cinema viewers.
Collaborating with a director like Director Qiu, even when the preparation interval was lengthy, it was value it for the actors.
In comparison with taking pictures a number of forgettable fast-food kinds of films in a 12 months, most formidable actors hoped to have at the very least one film per 12 months, a film with a powerful group, excessive in high quality, and with a deep affect that would offer steady long-term advantages.
Wen Li’s two common selection reveals would end recording in a month and there could be no extra selection present schedules afterward. Non-essential enterprise actions would additionally briefly be placed on maintain. At the moment, she would deal with filming the film along with Tune Yan.
It is okay. Tune Yan was working arduous, and she or he was working arduous too. Moreover, her birthday was nonetheless a month away. She might remind him later.
Simply then, the photographer referred to as Wen Li to try the images. She put away her cellphone.
Wen Li turned to Lu Dan and mentioned, “For the reason that recreation firm has invited me, let’s rejoice my birthday at their occasion. The group is busy this month, so it saves time for preparations. By then, Sister Dan, please assist me ask the corporate for some tickets for the followers.”
This was your best option and Lu Dan appreciated it essentially the most. It saved the group’s time, promoted the sport firm, and the followers would not have to arrange for help on the occasion.
Lu Dan nodded and requested, “What about Instructor Tune?”
“If he is busy, then neglect it,” Wen Li smiled, “Did not I miss his birthday due to work earlier than? He did not actually have a fan assembly. The model celebrated on his behalf. I nonetheless had followers with me. It is high-quality. Moreover, Sister Dan, you understand that it isn’t simply this birthday we’re celebrating collectively. There shall be loads of alternatives sooner or later.”
Simply then, the photographer urged, “Miss Wen! Come over right here!”
“Coming.”
Wen Li lifted her skirt and ran over.
Lu Dan watched her artist’s again and all of a sudden had a sense of “my woman is rising up”.
After considering for some time, seeing how thoughtful her artist was, as a supervisor, she additionally wanted to be thoughtful.
Wen Li’s phrases about desirous to rejoice with Tune Yan have been positively honest. Lu Dan smiled and took out her cellphone to name Tune Yan’s supervisor and focus on with their group. On the very least, they need to reunite the long-distance couple on Wen Li’s birthday.
——
Did Tune Yan see Wen Li’s Moments submit? Wen Li does not know, however she is aware of that her household noticed it.
Xu Shimao was nonetheless abroad and it wasn’t handy for him to name her, so he despatched her a WeChat message asking what birthday present she needed.
By way of materials issues, Wen Li did not actually lack something, and there wasn’t something particular she needed.
「Dad, taking good care of your self out there may be the most effective present you may give me.」
Her mother was already gone, and if her dad’s well being wasn’t good both, Wen Li would not be capable of wholeheartedly deal with her work these previous few years. Luckily, Xu Shimao’s well being was nonetheless good. Through the years, he had step by step moved on from the unhappiness of dropping his spouse. Though the daddy and daughter not often noticed one another, they did not want to fret about one another.
Maybe that was essentially the most comfy relationship between mother and father and kids – at all times lacking and caring for one another however not disturbing one another’s lives.
After ready some time for her father’s response, however there was none. So Wen Li despatched one other message:「The place are you?」
「I am right here.」
「Thanks to your concern, my pricey daughter.」
「This 12 months, Dad will nonetheless ship you a birthday greeting card.」
Wen Li agreed.
After that, the daddy and daughter did not chat anymore. After about ten minutes, Xu Shimao’s assistant despatched her a WeChat message, politely explaining that the instructor had been feeling sentimental just lately and that though he could not come again to rejoice her birthday as a result of being abroad, he hoped his daughter might perceive and never argue with the instructor.
Wen Li was confused. She hadn’t argued along with her dad.
The assistant was additionally confused.
「Why did Instructor Xu cry then? = =」
Wen Li: “…”
Assist! Why did all the lads near her change into crybabies these days?
Along with Xu Shimao, there was additionally her uncle, Wen Yan, who requested her how she deliberate to rejoice her birthday.
Seeing her reply that she would rejoice along with her followers, Wen Yan responded:「Do you keep in mind your personal surname?」
Wen Li:「I do not keep in mind. I’ve amnesia.」
Wen Yan: “…”
Wen Yan:「Come house in your birthday, your loved ones will rejoice with you.」
Wen Li was nonetheless indignant and replied stubbornly:「No, I had determined to not go house till the Lunar New Yr.」
Wen Yan:「Are you chopping ties with me due to Tune Yan?」
Wen Li:「No, I am going to come again to want you a Pleased New Yr after I get a brand new coiffure within the Lunar New Yr.」
After a number of seconds, Wen Yan replied:「Are you cursing me?」
Even by the display, Wen Li might really feel Wen Yan’s chilly aura.
Effectively, what might he do to her by the cellphone? Wen Li responded arrogantly:「Congratulations, Uncle, you bought it proper. 」
She even added:「This curse solely works on the eldest uncle, it does not have an effect on the youthful uncle. I hope for my little uncle to reside an extended and wholesome life.」
After a number of seconds, a livid voice name got here in.
Wen Li hung up straight and briefly blocked Wen Yan.
Feeling refreshed, even throughout the recording of [For You To Debut] within the following days, Wen Li discovered Xu Li’s annoying face from the previous significantly pleasing to the attention.
The primary three performances of [For You To Debut] had already been recorded. By way of these three performances, Xu Li’s recognition had been rising quickly. Lastly, within the final rating announcement, he secured the ultimate spot within the debut group.
No matter whether or not he would ultimately debut, at the very least Xu Li’s administration firm made the appropriate transfer. Even when he does not debut on the ultimate evening, after this system finishes recording and whereas this system’s recognition continues to be excessive, Xu Li can launch an album as a solo singer and should not have to fret an excessive amount of about gross sales.
The fourth efficiency was a particular stage recording the place the mentors and trainees collaborated on a efficiency. As a consequence of Wen Li’s viral dance video within the first episode, which had already surpassed ten million views, this system needed her to have one other stage efficiency. Because of this, the choose, Wen Li, was additionally organized to carry out.
The trainees selected their most well-liked mentor based mostly on their rankings.
Contained in the studio, this system was being recorded, and the trainees earlier than Xu Li had already chosen their mentors. Now it was his flip.
He did not wish to group up with Wen Li. The final time when he had a personal dialog along with her in her automotive, he felt like Xu Xingyue noticed them. Nonetheless, it had been a month since then, and so they had already recorded two or three episodes of this system, however Xu Li hadn’t seen any signal from Xu Xingyue. Xu Li wasn’t certain if she had seen him in Wen Li’s automotive that day.
Xu Li needed to decide on a vocal mentor, however his sister took him to the facet and ordered him to decide on her group when this system began recording.
At the moment, he disdainfully replied with out even lifting an eyelid, “Why ought to I?”
Wen Li mentioned, “You dare not hearken to your sister? Do you wish to die?”
Xu Li laughed, “Am I afraid of you?”
“Nice, you do not have to decide on me,” Wen Li nodded, “In spite of everything, along with your present standing, you are only a rookie who hasn’t debuted but. Your life and demise are usually not in my fingers, proper?”
“…”
After threatening him, Wen Li modified to a pleasant smile and requested, “Are you scared?”
…
Eager about this, Xu Li took a deep breath. Beneath the gaze of everybody, together with the digital camera, he reluctantly mentioned, “I wish to select Instructor Wen.”
Then he checked out Wen Li, his sister actually lived as much as being an actress. Her shocked and sudden expression was so real that if he hadn’t seen her true face earlier than, Xu Li would have believed it.
“Wow, I actually did not anticipate you to decide on me. Thanks, thanks,” Wen Li mentioned.
After all of the trainees had chosen their mentors, they entered their respective unique follow rooms.
There have been 4 different trainees with Xu Li, all of them have been Wen Li’s followers. As quickly as they entered the follow room, they could not cease calling out “Instructor Wen” excitedly.
“Instructor Wen, for the male-female dance half within the bridge, it’s a must to select one in every of us to carry out with you. Who do you wish to select?”
This music was a canopy model of an abroad music, initially a pop duet. This system purchased the rights and translated it into Chinese language lyrics after which rearranged the choreography based mostly on the unique dance. It turned a gaggle dance with one feminine and 5 males, however the bridge half remained true to the unique, with a male-female duet, and it was a detailed and passionate dance.
The mentors knew their efficiency songs prematurely, however the trainees did not. They solely came upon what they’d be performing with the mentors after selecting them.
Xu Li all of a sudden had a really dangerous feeling.
Certain sufficient, Wen Li pretended to wrestle and mentioned she did not know who to decide on. So she determined to arrange slips of paper and whoever’s identify she drew could be chosen to carry out along with her within the C-position for the bridge sizzling dance half. And he or she occurred to attract a slip of paper with Xu Li’s identify on it.
The opposite trainees innocently thought it was a random draw and instantly turned excited and envious, hugging Xu Li.
“Xu Li, you are superior!”
“You are so fortunate, dude!”
Xu Li twitched his mouth. He did not know the way Wen Li manipulated it, however his present temper was very difficult.
After the drawing, they started training. After a number of months, Xu Li, who had zero dance basis, had accrued some dancing abilities. He additionally had a little bit of expertise for dancing, and along with his dedication to follow, regardless that he began comparatively late, his abilities step by step caught up.
The earlier follow was alright, however when it got here to the dance half with Wen Li, he turned stiff throughout, and his expression was very uncomfortable.
Xu Li was initially fair-skinned and had a good-looking and delicate face. When he was nervous and anxious, he regarded significantly harmless. His 4 teammates thought he was simply shy and tried to consolation him, asking him to calm down.
“Shy my ass. That is referred to as abdomen discomfort,” Xu Li mentioned with frustration.
Solely Wen Li knew what was happening with him. Throughout the break, she pulled him right into a resting room with out a digital camera to speak.
Wen Li did not know whether or not to snicker or cry, “We used to battle extra intimately once we have been youngsters. You’d experience on me and I might experience on you. We have been born from the identical womb. What’s along with your pretentiousness now?”
Xu Li gritted his tooth and mentioned in a deep voice, “Childhood is childhood, now could be now. We’re each in our twenties. Are you doing this to anger Grandpa and Uncle after this system airs?”
“They will not watch the expertise present, don’t fret.”
“What about Brother Ah Yan?” Xu Li requested once more.
Wen Li hesitated for a second, then smirked and mentioned, “You do not perceive a factor. I did not select anybody else only for him.”
Xu Li was speechless.
“If you cannot carry out properly,” she all of a sudden turned aggravated, “we’ll change companions. When that occurs, Instructor Tune will blame you for making me indignant.”
Xu Li sighed with frustration and mentioned, “Ethical blackmail.”
“While you launch your solo album, I am going to straight purchase tens of 1000’s of copies to help you, how about that?” Wen Li winked at Xu Li.
“Do not have a look at me with that disgusting look,” Xu Li clicked his tongue, “Nice, high-quality, let’s dance. I am going to simply contemplate myself taken benefit of by a pig.”
Wen Li narrowed her eyes and smirked, “When you weren’t my brother, would you may have such an incredible alternative to bounce hotly with me? Dream on.”
Xu Li instantly retorted, “If it weren’t for the dangerous luck of being born from the identical womb as you, do you assume I might care?”
Wen Li angrily laughed and raised her hand to hit him on the pinnacle.
Xu Li grabbed her wrist and held it down. Wen Li struggled for some time however could not break away. Then he flicked her brow.
Wen Li winced in ache, “You brat!”
“You actually assume I can not beat you now?” Xu Li smirked lazily, “I am going to allow you to off.”
Then he let go of her. Wen Li instantly seized the chance to tiptoe and fiercely flick his brow.
Xu Li clicked his tongue and had no intention of preventing again. He rubbed his brow and requested, “What present would you like to your birthday subsequent month?”
Wen Li, not in an excellent temper, mentioned, “Let me beat you up with out you preventing again.”
“Not doable, say one thing that is doable.”
“Then simply something,” Wen Li mentioned, “When you can efficiently debut and never hassle me for sources and promotion, that shall be a birthday present.”
Xu Li was barely surprised, then all of a sudden laughed, “Even with out your help, I’ve made it this far. How are you aware I can not do it?”
“You? You possibly can’t,” Wen Li mentioned with certainty, stuffed with self-love, “You do not have the allure I’ve.”
“…”
Wen Li patted his shoulder and mentioned, “Let’s go, again to the follow room.”
“Dad will paint an image for you yearly,” Xu Li stopped her and mentioned, “I can not paint, however I can write songs. How about I write a music for you as a present?”
Wen Li instinctively requested, “You will not cost me royalties, proper?”
Xu Li was defeated by her mind-set and sighed deeply, “You are past assist,” Then he tugged at his lips and mentioned coldly, “Nice, royalties, one billion.”
“…Then I do not need it.”
“When you say you don’t need it, then do not. However as soon as I write it, you may should pay.”
“You are extorting me with an ethical excessive floor. What’s improper with me extorting you?”
They argued for a number of extra phrases after which got here out of the resting room, one after the opposite.
When Xu Li got here out, he subconsciously regarded round however did not see anybody, so he relaxed and thought he was being overly suspicious.
Strolling by the hall, there was just one route from the resting room to the follow room, as all 5 follow rooms have been situated on this hall. Xu Li noticed Xu Xingyue simply coming from the opposite facet of the hall, and when she noticed him, she smiled and greeted him.
“…”
Xu Li, who typically performed video games, at all times felt that Xu Xingyue’s smile was like she was holding again some large transfer.
——
Siblings danced intently, with their faces pressed collectively, at first feeling uncomfortable, however as they continued dancing, they turned accustomed to it.
It is higher to cooperate with a well-recognized artist. Aside from avoiding suspicion, if any scandal arises, it might be tough to offer sturdy proof for clarification.
Luckily, many of the CP followers have been wise and understood the boundaries. Wen Li and Xu Li additionally had CP followers, however the followers have been properly conscious that Wen Li was already married. They ship the couple in their very own little world and by no means trigger any hassle.
After the official Weibo account of [For You To Debut] launched a preview of the following stage efficiency, the feedback have been all managed and optimistic. Followers expressed gratitude to senior artists for his or her steering and expressed anticipation for the complete episode. The feedback part was harmonious.
It wasn’t till the leaked details about the efficiency stage collaboration between the fourth spherical mentors surfaced on the discussion board.
「WNCT, leaked details about the mentor collaboration efficiency stage. I wager Xu Li shall be one of many hottest subjects in your area.」
0L:「Simply completed recording on-site. I watched all 5 phases. Yanzhun’s group was essentially the most explosive, with the mentors overshadowing the trainees. I might clearly hear the rap lyrics from Icy’s group, which have been written by the trainees themselves. Qi Sihan and Xu Xingyue’s teams have been okay. Handsome guys and delightful ladies. Possibly the feminine mentors needed to keep away from suspicion, so their interactions with the trainees weren’t as explosive. However the spotlight was Wen Li’s group. The duet in the course of the bridge gave me goosebumps throughout, the entire viewers screamed. Folks in your area used to mock her appearing abilities, but when she had debuted as an idol, she would have been on the prime of the idol business. Each followers and haters can see that. See the images within the feedback.」
1L:「[Pictures]…」
The images confirmed the stage efficiency of Wen Li’s group. The person captured the half the place they have been dancing collectively. Blonde-haired Wen Li leaned on Xu Li’s shoulder, lazily inserting her fingers on his chest, whereas Xu Li’s fingers have been wrapped round her waist. They have been very shut, their eyes locked.
10L:「Wen Li appears to be like so good with this exaggerated hair colour.」
12L:「It have to be a wig. She’s already filming with the group, so how might she have dyed her hair?」
15L:「Sorry, however I’ve to say that the age distinction is so charming! A shocking and outgoing senior x a pure and harmless junior, I like it!」
27L:「For the reason that first episode, when Wen Li was dancing, I seen that gaze. She’s actually a visible queen. It is a pity she’s straight and already married.」
35L:「I’ve a sense that when the complete episode airs, the followers of this CP will go loopy…」
For the reason that full episode had not but aired, there have been solely easy leaked photographs of the efficiency stage. Nonetheless, some privileged people, reminiscent of relations, had the privilege of watching the stage efficiency prematurely.
Wen Li shortly edited the footage of her dancing into a brief video and despatched it to Tune Yan, who was in Bin Metropolis.
Wen Li:「What do you assume?」
Wen Li:「Did you just like the siblings’ efficiency?」
After a couple of minutes, Tune Yan referred to as her straight.
Wen Li requested eagerly, “Did you watch it?”
“I did,” Tune Yan’s tone was low, “Did you dye your hair?”
“No, it is a wig,” Wen Li felt he was centered on the improper factor, “Why are you involved in regards to the hair? I requested you ways my efficiency was.”
Tune Yan humbly replied, “That is not my space of experience. I can not give knowledgeable analysis.”
“I did not ask for knowledgeable analysis. Simply inform me if it is good or not.”
“It is good.”
Wen Li was dissatisfied, “Simply ‘good’? That is all you may say? The reside viewers had a way more enthusiastic response than that.”
Nonetheless, Tune Yan diverted the subject, “Did you do it on goal? You recognize I can not come again from Bin Metropolis for now.”
Wen Li did not perceive. She simply thought the stage impact this time was nice, and because it was a sibling collaboration, she wasn’t afraid of Tune Yan getting jealous. So she despatched him the video as quickly as she received it.
“What? Do not change the topic. I requested if it was good or not.”
He sighed, and his voice sounded hoarse, “It is so good that I want I might come again from Bin Metropolis instantly, tie you to the mattress, and spend three days and nights with you. Is that an enthusiastic sufficient reply?”
“…”
Wen Li’s mouth hung open. Even by the cellphone, Tune Yan’s phrases stirred up warmth all through her physique. It felt like 1000’s of ants have been crawling on her scalp, making her really feel embarrassed and not sure of methods to reply.
