"I've eaten." Ou Shaowen wasn't in a very good mood. He leaned close to Ou Renjin's ear and explained in a low voice, "Just now the photographer even followed me into the kitchen and took pictures for a long time. Aunt Zhou felt embarrassed and went back to her room after dinner."
"Do you feel embarrassed too?" Ou Renjin took his hand and sat on the sofa, lowering his voice, "It's okay, we can just talk quietly so he can't hear it."
"Can you please stop him from filming? It's so late, let him go back." Ou Shaowen hadn't seen Ou Renjin for a few days, and was thinking about talking to him more tonight. "I'm learning to sing today, do you want to listen?"
Although they lowered their voices when they talked, the room was so quiet and the camera and audio equipment were not far away from them, so there was no way they could not be captured. The photographer stood diagonally in front of them with the camera pointed steadily at them. Even as he was taking the photo, he felt that the two of them were showing off their affection to the point of being sickening.
On the other end, Ou Shaowen was still humming the song he had just learned.
"It's okay and you don't have to feel ashamed in front of me. Maybe I just like being wasted by you. Even if I try hard to fall in love with someone else, it will be in vain in the end. It's better to be happy with you forever, right?" His voice is like grains of sandstone rolling on your eardrum, with his unique unhurried pronunciation and no deviation in pitch. Although his singing skills are not amazing, but with his serious profile, he looks particularly moving.
Ou Renjin came back to his senses and smiled slightly, "It sounds nice, but you haven't figured out the emotions this song represents, so you can't bring others into your world."
Ou Shaowen lowered his eyes, "My teacher also told me so." He paused, "I understand the emotion this song represents. The lyrics are so obvious, how could I not understand it."
Describes a long unrequited love that ends in vain, and a stubborn, pointless and stupid person.
When the teacher was teaching him, he also specifically explained this to him. At that time, he asked him, "Do you have something that you like now and think you will like for the rest of your life?"
“You imagine that no matter how hard you try, you will never get it. But what you want to tell everyone is not how tired or miserable you are, but how indifferent you are and how satisfied you feel. You can’t give up on it, and you will and can only keep chasing it.”
On the way, he thought about his teacher's words for a long time. He felt that there might be something he liked for his whole life, but it seemed impossible to have something he would pursue for his whole life. He always believed that one should not be too obsessed with things that he could not get. Perhaps it was because of this that he could understand the emotion represented by this song but could not express it accurately.
"Okay, you understand, you understand everything." Ou Shaowen's tone was really like a child who tried hard to show himself and expected to be praised, so Ou Renjin habitually echoed, "How come our child is so amazing and can do everything so well."
As Ou Renjin pressed his hand on his head, Ou Shaowen instantly forgot about the questions of whether he could catch up or not. He raised his face and felt very happy. "Let's go upstairs, okay?"
Ou Renjin glanced at the time on his watch and glanced at the photographer. "Let's hold on for a while longer and let the photographer take enough footage at once. Then he won't come to our house again, okay?"
"Okay then." Ou Shaowen thought about it and nodded in agreement.
Ou Renjin thought about the characteristics of Ou Shaowen that attracted fans and suggested, "Then you can teach me how to play games. Aren't you very good at it?"
"You don't know how to play games?" Ou Shaowen looked at him in surprise, as if he had to know everything.
"It's not that I don't know how to do it, I'm just a novice. Master, please help me win without any effort."
They played two more games with laughter before Ou Renjin waved his hand and asked the photographer to leave.
These materials were cut down into the first vlog and released on Weibo and Bilibili.
The video is not too long. The first half is Ou Shaowen's daily training routine. He doesn't talk much, and his expressionless face makes it a visual enjoyment when he dances. His steps are accurate and his strength is comfortable. It is a feast of beauty with hormones bursting out. In the second half, when he returns home, he seems to have turned into a cute and well-behaved little sweet bean again.
He would go into the kitchen to help the aunt at home cook, cutting vegetables with a skillful and handsome posture, and chatting about topics such as how much a pound of potatoes cost today.
At this point, everyone was still just drooling over his face that looked so pleasing to the eye no matter what he did, until - Ou Renjin came back.
The barrage of comments instantly started to go wild.
"Fuck! So the filming location for this vlog is indeed that legendary villa?"
"Oh my god, this big pig's hoof Ou Renjin is so good at talking. The tone of his voice is so sweet that it gives me goosebumps."
“So… so sweet.”
"Boss Ou: Even though I'm not very good at playing games, I will take the blame for my boyfriend!"
"Oh my god, she dotes on me so much. I now understand why the Fourth Concubine kept saying that she loved me. This kind of doting would make anyone feel misled."
"That's why I always say that everyone has a misunderstanding about Ou Renjin. He was always in a serious relationship, okay? You can't blame him if they can't make it to the end."
"Haha, then when you are in a serious relationship, would you repeatedly bring your current partner to the house where your ex lived? I don't believe that this is the only house Mr. Ou owns. This is such an obvious bad taste, and no one else can compare to him."
“Oh my god, this contrast of Ou Shaowen is too cute, he is totally like a little puppy. Everyone who likes to act cute should learn from him, what is natural cuteness, this is natural cuteness.”
"The singing is so beautiful. This singing skill and dancing skill can sweep a large number of idol circles."
"Xin Qiangtou Chong, mom wants to spend money on you."
It has to be said that everyone has a desire to voyeurize, so this kind of daily stuff is always easier to attract fans than a set of photos or an interview. With just a vlog of less than 30 minutes, Ou Shaowen has ushered in a wave of fans that is as powerful as "Battle Royale".
Ou Renjin took advantage of the popularity and secured an endorsement for Ou Shaowen from a fast-moving consumer goods brand. The endorsement fee was secondary. For an artist like Ou Shaowen, whose fame is only limited to the Internet, an endorsement is actually an extremely effective way to increase the popularity of a brand whose advertisements are spread both online and offline and whose products can be found everywhere in supermarkets and convenience stores of all sizes.
Having a job was originally a happy thing for Ou Shaowen, but because this sports drink is mainly used to restore energy, the shooting plan of the advertisement is to let a group of adventurous young people go mountain climbing together, from being exhausted to being full of energy after drinking the drink, challenging themselves and indulging their youth. So they had to go to the deep mountains and forests for the shooting, and because of the night view, they basically had to work until very late to finish the shooting.
"Hey, we meet again, Shao Wen. We are so destined to be together." As soon as he got off the car, Dong Qiao in the crowd greeted him with surprise. He came over and handed him a bottle of water. "Actor, I finally got a role as an extra. Let me stand next to you later so I can get a few more shots."
Since Dong Qiao last entered the villa to drink some water, he has only met Ou Shaowen twice in dance class. He is still as chatty as ever, and Ou Shaowen is still as perfunctory as ever, too lazy to talk. The two of them occasionally get together to talk, and to outsiders, they seem to be very familiar with each other.
“Thank you.” Ou Shaowen took the water handed over by Dong Qiao, twisted it open and took a sip, “But, who will stand next to me later is up to the director team to decide, I can’t promise you.”
The smile on Dong Qiao's face was a little stiff. "Hey, I just said it casually. If it doesn't work, forget it. It's okay. By the way, how did you get here? Did you take Qimeng's car? The road in the mountains is not easy to walk on. I wanted the company to send a car to take me here, but they said that the company's cars were all used by seniors, so they told me to just squeeze in with the crew." He shivered as he complained and wrapped his down jacket tightly.
"I also came here in the crew's car." Qi Meng would not be short of his car. Qi Yue originally wanted to give him a ride, but he heard that the crew had a pick-up service, and he felt that there was no need to trouble him to drive back and forth on the mountain road for several hours, so he came here with the crew.
"Oh, I was thinking I could get a ride." Dong Qiao shrugged regretfully and changed the subject, "Why are you wearing so little? It's very cold in the mountains at night. Be careful not to get sick."
"Thank you." Compared to other people, he was indeed wearing less, but he had rarely been sick since he was a child, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
After being dragged by Dong Qiao to talk for a while, the filming crew officially started filming. He and six or seven extras changed into handsome but thin mountaineering clothes, wearing miner hats that could illuminate, and started filming mountaineering scenes on a seemingly steep but still easy-to-walk hillside.
As they had just started and were full of energy, the director team asked them to show how fast they could walk after drinking the drinks. Dong Qiao was not among the two boys who were selected to stand behind Ou Shaowen and have close-up shots of him drinking drinks. He stood in the middle and back, looking at Ou Shaowen who was like the moon surrounded by stars in front of him. The unbalanced and unwilling feeling surged up uncontrollably. He clenched his fists lightly and was unusually quiet.
It was a very simple shot, but I had to climb the hill six or seven times to pass it.
After shooting the close-up of them drinking drinks, the director let them take a short break.
Ou Shaowen turned on his phone and checked the time. It was 8:30 pm. It would be 9 pm at the latest when the filming was over. He would probably be 11 or 12 pm when he got home. There was no way he could catch up with Ou Renjin's bedtime. He felt extremely regretful and couldn't help but call him.
"Hello."
"When will you come back?" Ou Renjin's voice was soft and gentle, making his ears itch. "I heard from Qi Yue that you went there alone. Are you scared?"
“No.” Ou Shaowen looked at the noisy filming site. “There are a lot of people here. The director is very nice and the snacks he prepared are delicious. I can’t sleep with you today. I will miss you.”
