Ji Zeyu came to the corridor, answered the phone and walked to a quiet corner.
The eldest brother's voice came from the phone, as mature and calm as ever, with a bit more joy and relief today. He first congratulated the EN boy group on their sales reaching the top, and then talked about the big movie he had promised before.
"You can go see the director in a while." The eldest brother said to Ji Zeyu.
Ji Zeyu asked nervously: "What if the director doesn't like me?"
"No." Ji Zefeng's voice was somewhat leisurely and calm, "The script and the role are tailor-made for you. No one can play this role except you."
"Made to measure? Tailor-made?" Ji Zeyu was stunned, a little unbelievable, "Real or fake, and such a good thing?"
"Of course it's true." Ji Zefeng said calmly, "I am an investor, and this movie is prepared for you. It is my debut gift to you." There was a hint of asking for credit in his tone.
"Brother, you are so awesome." Ji Zeyu praised sincerely, "You are simply the best brother in the world."
Listening to his brother praising himself adoringly on the other end of the phone, Ji Zefeng couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, feeling a strange sense of satisfaction in his heart.
"It's a small matter." Ji Zefeng's tone sounded indifferent, "If you encounter trouble after joining the group, just tell me."
After that, Ji Zefeng was about to hang up the phone. Ji Zeyu suddenly thought of something. He clenched the phone tightly with his fingers, gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, I have something else I want to discuss with you."
Ji Zefeng paused slightly as he hung up the phone.
A moment later, just when Ji Zeyu was about to speak, a calm voice came from the other end of the phone:
"Is it something related to Lu Nanyun?"
Ji Zeyu was stunned.
He knew that his eldest brother was an insightful person, but he still didn't expect that the other party could see through him so easily.
"Yes..." Ji Zeyu took a deep breath and considered his words, "I want to say that the album of the EN boy band is very successful, so can Xiaoyun and I not..."
At this point, Ji Zeyu's throat felt a little dry, and he was a little tired from avoiding suspicion during this period. These two words became words that were difficult to say.
"I know what you want to say." Ji Zefeng interrupted his brother and said calmly, "Do you think you have thought it through clearly?"
"Think clearly." Ji Zeyu said without thinking, "Xiaoyun and I are ordinary friends, there is no need to avoid suspicion."
Ji Zefeng said nothing, as if waiting for him to continue.
"Moreover, you have also seen during this period, whether it is stage performances, variety show recordings, or the release of songs and albums... EN boy bands have countless ways to become popular and can attract many fans." Ji Zeyu paused and continued, "And the CP fans you are worried about are only a small part of these fans."
Ji Zefeng was silent for a while and suddenly asked: "Wouldn't this bother you?"
Ji Zeyu thought about it seriously and replied: "Chasing stars is the fans' own business. What fans like is the idol in their hearts. What CP fans like is the relationship between two people in their imagination. I can't guarantee that everyone will use me." I like chasing stars in a way that I am satisfied with.”
Ji Zefeng's voice was calm and a little cruel: "However, CP fans may lose their fans and return to disfavor."
"Anyone may lose fans and return to dislike him." Ji Zeyu said to his eldest brother seriously, "And the most important thing is that Xiaoyun and I are good friends now and we will definitely be good friends in the future. This kind of thing will never happen."
The tone was serious and determined, making Ji Zefeng slightly startled.
"But do you know what Lu Nanyun thinks? Do you know his company? Do you know his personality?" Ji Zefeng continued to ask, "How do you know whether he wants to speculate on CP with you or whether he wants to bundle marketing?"
Ji Zeyu was stunned.
He had never thought about these questions.
Seeing that Ji Zeyu didn't answer, the eldest brother said again: "You have no idea what Lu Nanyun thinks about the relationship between you. And I just avoided the possibility of you being hurt by him, because I know people, but I don't know the heart."
Ji Zeyu fell into silence.
About five seconds later, Ji Zeyu said slowly: "Lu Nanyun wouldn't do that."
This time it was the elder brother's turn to be silent.
After a moment, Ji Zefeng asked meaningfully: "Are you so sure?"
Ji Zeyu said "hmm" and said, "I'm sure."
"What's the reason?"
"There is no reason." Ji Zeyu said, "Just because I believe in him."
The eldest brother was silent for a long time this time, and there was only silence on the other end of the phone. It wasn't until Ji Zeyu thought the other party hung up the phone that he spoke out: "If Lu Nanyun really treats you as a good friend, then let him talk to me in person. "The eldest brother's voice is still calm, with a bit of meaning.
After hanging up the phone, Ji Zeyu held the phone and lowered his head slightly, with the bangs on his forehead casting a shadow.
On the other side, Ji Zefeng was sitting in the president's office, staring at the black screen for a long time, with emotions in his eyes that others could not understand.
One of the important reasons why he was so cautious about the relationship between his younger brother and the man named Lu was because the CP fans of "Fan Yun Fu Yu" were too powerful, and this pair of CPs showed amazing vitality.
Even if they are not in the same frame for two whole months, the ranking of "Fan Yun Fu Yu" is still very high. CP fans are still working tirelessly to find sugar in various videos. Although they are disappointed most of the time, they are kind. The more you fight, the more courage you get.
In their opinion, as long as the EN boy band has not disbanded, they can always find sugar.
After the MV of "Eleven Novae" was broadcast, Ji Zeyu and Lu Nanyun were in the same frame, but it was just a group photo together. They stood together because of their ranking, wearing suits of the same color.
Although CP fans know that this is a shot of the whole group together, they are still crazy about it. They cut out the scene of the two standing together and made it into various exquisite mobile phone wallpapers.
Ji Zeyu looked tall and thin, with fair complexion and a somewhat clean and youthful temperament. Lu Nanyun and him had a body shape difference, and the whole person looked sharper and more mature.

Just standing together, the two people collided with sparks full of tension.
"It's such a good match. When will they really be in the same frame again? I'm having a hard time."
"People in the same frame are like candy, even if they are cut out, they are still like candy. It's so humble..."
"I still don't believe Fan Yun Fu Yube, please let them share the same screen as soon as possible!"
"Today is also a day to cry for the beautiful love between two people..."
"Give me some candy, look at the poor cp fans!"
Ji Zefeng looked at the various posts in Chaohua with a thoughtful expression. After a moment, he put down his phone and recalled what his brother said to him.
It seems that the younger brother really cares about the boy named Lu, and he doesn't know what kind of ecstasy soup the boy poured into him. The younger brother actually negotiated with himself for him.
He wanted to see if the man named Lu was sincere enough to talk to him in person.
Ji Zeyu returned to the celebration banquet. The scene was still lively and everyone was busy socializing.
Lu Nanyun's expression was absent-minded. After a moment, he noticed Ji Zeyu's figure, raised his eyelids, and after Ji Zeyu sat down, he raised his eyebrows and asked him: "Whose call is it? Why does it take so long?"
In addition to the leaders who were toasting at the banquet, there were also many men and women who wanted to make friends with Ji Zeyu. Lu Nanyun was inevitably a little concerned.
"It's nothing." Ji Zeyu had something on his mind and replied casually.
Lu Nanyun stared at him for a while, and saw that he was a little depressed, so he leaned into his ear and whispered, "Then do you want to go back early?"
Ji Zeyu was stunned for a moment, looked at the crowd around him, and said to Lu Nanyun, "But the banquet is not over yet. It would be bad to leave, right?"
"Everyone who deserves a toast has already done so." Lu Nanyun said to him, "If you don't like it, we'll leave early."
He stared straight at Ji Zeyu, with serious concern in his tone.
Ji Zeyu had no doubt that as long as he said he wanted to leave, Lu Nanyun would definitely try his best to take him away, no matter how important a social occasion it was.
This seemed like something Lu Nanyun would do.
"It doesn't matter." Ji Zeyu raised the corners of his lips, and his mood suddenly improved a little, "It will be over in a while."
Lu Nanyun looked at him without saying a word. After a while, he reached out and rubbed his hair. Then he gave him a few of his favorite dishes and said to him, "Then you can eat some more. I'll cover it for you when there are toasts." .”
Ji Zeyu nodded, not paying attention to his messed up hair, and lowered his head to hide his worries.
He couldn't say what his elder brother said to him for a while.
If Lu Nanyun is asked to negotiate with his eldest brother, will he be scolded by his eldest brother? After all, the eldest brother has a bad temper and has such a strong personality... He doesn't want Lu Nanyun to be scolded.
Moreover, what if the negotiation breaks down? Will he no longer be qualified to be friends with Lu Nanyun
Ji Zeyu thought about it, holding the chopsticks hard with his fingers, feeling that his favorite dishes were tasteless.
At this moment, Cheng Xi stood up with a glass of wine and congratulated the members of the EN boy group: "Come on, congratulations on becoming the most awesome boy group I have ever led."
When everyone heard what Cheng Xi said, they all raised their glasses. Ji Zeyu came out of his thoughts and raised the juice in his hand.
"As you said, being number one in sales is not the most important thing. What is important is your growth." Cheng Xi smiled and said to everyone, "You have all grown up a lot during this time, so I believe that the EN boy group will be able to achieve success this year." Winning the Star Rhythm Award! Cheers!"
"cheers!"
Everyone's emotions were also aroused, and the sound of clinking glasses was clear and enthusiastic, just like the hopes of a dozen teenagers for the future, shining under the lights, and Ji Zeyu couldn't help but be infected.
at the same time.
In the Feiyi Entertainment Company building, the Aurora boy band was having a meeting in the company, and the air pressure in the conference room was low.
"There are many problems with this album release." The person in charge of the boy band said with a sullen face. "The song selection of the album is not outstanding enough, the marketing is not topical, and we underestimated the enemy."
The ten members of Group A didn't look very good, and the expression of captain Zhang Hao could only be described as cold and frosty.
"So, the current situation is not optimistic." The agent frowned and looked at everyone and said.
"Then, do we still have hope of winning the Star Rhythm Award?" Zhang Hao's fingers tightened involuntarily. This award is very important to them. "We lost to fmw last year, so this year we took the time to release the album, and the result... "
He didn't want to admit that his sales volume was actually lost to a fast food boy band!
Other teammates also fell silent.
"Don't worry, the Star Rhyme Award must go to Aurora." The manager comforted everyone with a firm tone, "Sales volume is only one of the factors and does not play a decisive role."
Ming Yiran, a member of Group A, was stunned, and then asked hesitantly: "Really? But I saw on the new song list, many of them are songs by the EN boy group, and they are marketing them like crazy."
"SC Entertainment is really shameless." Member Qin Xian clenched his hands into fists and smashed the table with a bit of contempt in his voice, "Comparing sales is comparing sales, buy hot search marketing every day."
He completely forgot that Feiyi Entertainment is the company that likes to buy hot searches. Even before their album was released, they were on trending searches almost every day. Even if the captain had a haircut, he could buy one of the top three hot searches to promote it.
The various hot searches for the EN boy group have naturally risen based on their dance and music video content.
"Yes, in the final analysis, they are just newcomers, and there is no telling how much sales they will have." The person in charge of Group A sneered and said unconvinced, "Why do they win the Xingyun Award? Nominated for Best Newcomer Group It’s already given them face.”
"But this time, we can't underestimate the enemy." The agent said calmly, "Although I also think you are stronger, we can no longer be passive and must take the initiative."
Zhang Hao raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "What do you think we should do?"
"The company has already found out who will be the judges for this year's Xingyun Awards." The manager deliberately lowered his voice, "As long as you communicate with them in advance and let them recognize your strength, the award will definitely be yours."
Everyone was stunned immediately.
They say it's "taking the initiative" and "letting the judges recognize the strength of group A". In fact, what the manager means in his words is nothing more than looking for the judges to manage the relationship.
"But..." Tang Junyu, the youngest, said softly, "Isn't this considered a bribe?"
"How is that possible?" the manager said calmly, "the company just wants the judges to know you better. Besides, with the moral character of the EN boy band that competes with us everywhere, I think they will bribe the judges. .”
Zhang Hao glanced at Tang Junyu and said to him: "Don't worry, the company will handle this matter."
"We can't put it off any longer." The person in charge frowned and said, "Not to mention that the Star Rhyme Award was lost to fmw last year. If you lose to the rookie group this year, your worth will definitely drop. It has been several years since you debuted, so this award must be Take it.”
Everyone nodded. The originally dull atmosphere improved, and the members regained their confidence at this moment.
From the perspective of the Aurora boy group, they are the seniors after all, and this award should be given to them both emotionally and rationally, while the EN boy group just took advantage of the marketing strategy.
