Chapter 168 Is the Assistant Pretty?

Seeing the interview going well, Lu Ziliang relaxed a lot. He wanted to go outside to find a water dispenser to get a glass of cold water and take a break, but he took two steps and stopped. Some veteran artists who are familiar with the rules of the entertainment industry need their agents to keep an eye on them all the time, for fear of saying something wrong. Xu Rui, let alone, might get into trouble if he is not careful.

After waiting for the interview to end, Lu Ziliang did not go to find water to drink. There was mineral water in the nanny car downstairs. While going downstairs, he said to Xu Rui: "Let's go and meet your assistant and team?"

"Okay." Xu Rui said happily.

The two went downstairs and got in the car. Lu Ziliang thought Xu Rui would ask more questions, but after waiting for a long time, he saw him browsing his phone and asked in confusion: "Why don't you ask what your assistant is like?"

Xu Rui held up two fingers: "First, I like mystery, and second, I believe in Brother Liang's vision, so I am waiting for a surprise."

Lu Ziliang listened and said nothing.

"Hey, "Dang Jiuzhou" didn't have any dramas to be postponed, and it was exclusively broadcast on the Haibao platform today?" Xu Rui was a little surprised. There are many dramas on various platforms that have been labeled "coming soon" for a year or two, and the audience is waiting for the flowers to wither and bloom again.

Lu Ziliang thought it was normal: "Now there is a trend of flooding professional dramas, and the review requirements are naturally strict. Military dramas are the most stringent, and they need to be endorsed by relevant departments. Secondly, professional dramas such as doctors and firefighters, whose professional image and social evaluation are very important, are also difficult to pass the review. Xianxia is not so closely related to life. As long as it is not too shoddy, it will pass the review faster."

"That's right." Xu Rui agreed with Lu Ziliang's statement, "Hurry up and meet the assistant, and then go home to watch the drama."

Lu Ziliang smiled and didn't answer.

After going to the company by car, Xu Rui was dumbfounded when he saw his new assistant. Standing in front of him was a tall, capable, but young-looking young man. He was quite excited to see him: "Hello, Brother Rui, my name is Fan Shuyi."

Xu Rui turned his head and asked Lu Ziliang: "Where are the long legs in black stockings!"

Lu Ziliang was not in a hurry and ignored him. He explained to Fan Shuyi: "He is like this, he speaks without thinking, don't mind it."

Fan Shuyi should not be the first time to be reminded. Not only was he not embarrassed, he also smiled at Xu Rui and said: "Brother Rui, I can also have long legs in black stockings."

As he said that, he took a step forward and showed off his long legs.

"..." It was quite long, but Xu Rui couldn't help but shudder, "Take it back, you win."

Fan Shuyi continued to introduce himself: "I have learned Sanda. Brother Liang said that you don't like too many people around you. I can also take care of some of the bodyguard's duties."

Lu Ziliang added: "He is 23 years old this year. Although he is one year younger than you, he has been working in the entertainment industry for a while."

Fan Shuyi was a little embarrassed: "I didn't study well since I was a child. My father disliked the word "Shu" in my name and thought it was probably eaten by a dog. When I first came here, I worked with my relatives. After getting familiar with the work, I found that he didn't lack people. I felt that it was not good for me to be there and get paid, so I wanted to try it out. Fortunately, I was selected by Brother Liang."

It can be seen that he is a very honest young man. Xu Rui smiled and said: "I believe in Brother Liang's vision."

Seeing the assistant, he went to meet with the team. In the future, the studio's Weibo operation, itinerary arrangement, response to rumors, and preparations for daily activities such as birthday parties will be transferred from the company to his personal team to serve him alone.

The plan was to rush back to watch the drama, but when he got there, there were still quite a few people. Xu Rui had to give up the plan to go home, organize a team-building activity for everyone to meet for the first time, take them out for a good meal, and then go bowling, and don't go back until the evening.

As soon as he entered the door, he heard his own singing coming from the TV. It was the theme song "Sha Po Lang" he sang for "Dang Jiuzhou", but only the ending, obviously someone turned on the "skip the opening/ending" function.

Looking at the sofa again, Yan Ran and Du Xiao each held a bowl with ice cream in it, leaning against each other and watching the drama happily.

"Don't you all need to work, so leisurely!" Xu Rui said angrily.

"We just finished our work, and we wanted to wait for you, but we couldn't help it." Yan Ran smiled, "Go wash your hands quickly, the ice cream is in the refrigerator."

Xu Rui went to wash his hands and came back, sitting on the other side of the sofa. There was no choice, Du Xiao took his place: "Which episode is this?"

Yan Ran said: "Episode 2."

"Is it good?" Xu Rui asked.

"Not bad." Yan Ran nodded and asked casually, "How about you, how about the team that Brother Liang found for you, is the assistant pretty?"

Du Xiao's ears stood up and she started to eat melons.

"She's tall, long-legged and young, I like her very much, and I took a photo of her, do you want to see it?" Xu Rui took out his mobile phone.

Yan Ran and Du Xiao stopped watching TV and gathered around. When they looked at the screen, they saw Fan Shuyi, who was a few centimeters taller than Xu Rui.

Xu Rui held Yan Ran's hand: "It seems that you care a lot, have you been holding it in for a day?"

"No." Yan Ran snorted.

"Is this the assistant? You didn't fool us with the bodyguard's photo, did you?" Du Xiao took a closer look, "She really looks good."

Xu Rui joked casually: "Do you like her?"

Du Xiao actually pondered for a while before shaking her head: "She's younger than me at first glance, no!"

This time, the crew and investors of "Dang Jiuzhou" also made great efforts, and the publicity budget was very sufficient. On the day of the premiere, various press releases were arranged.

At the same time, many self-media that do film reviews also received the task and began to praise "The Legend of Chusen". Fortunately, the quality of the first eight episodes was indeed excellent, and there was no sign of backlash from the large-scale marketing.

Many people used the theme song as BGM when making videos. Several platforms received money and gave a wave of volume to videos related to "The Legend of Chusen". For a time, all platforms were filled with the songs of "SPL". The song became popular before the drama.

It was not until then that many people discovered that the theme song was sung by Xu Rui, and even some fans realized it later.

"I just found out that Xu Rui sang "SPL". I always skipped the opening and ending credits when watching dramas, but I just found out now."

"Fake fans, I also skipped, but there is an ending after skipping. I knew it was Xu Rui's song as soon as I heard it. It is so recognizable. Then I went back and listened to it several times. It's awesome!"

"He also wrote the lyrics and music. It's rare for one person to write the lyrics and music for an OST. I didn't expect to hear other songs before the new album is released. What an unexpected surprise!"

Due to the rise of short videos, a song becomes popular much faster than expected. On the second day, Xu Rui heard the song several times on his way back from morning exercise.

First, a teenager who got up early to go to school danced on the street, making the gesture of flying a sword, singing "Life is to prove the traces of love..." The more memorable chorus, not caring about the eyes of passers-by, and I don't know if he will remember this social death moment many years later.

Then a brother on a motorcycle, with heroic loud music, rushed past Xu Rui.

This guy definitely doesn’t feel socially dead, but Xu Rui really wants to crawl into a hole in the ground.
