Chapter 578: Receiving the Silk Route Vlog
Dive into Chapter 575 of "Brother Dao Took the Entertainment Industry by Storm, Fans Beg Me Not to Kill Anymore": After Xiao He returned to Shanghai, he was busy handling the backlog of events.The year... Find out more!
After Xiao He returned to Shanghai, he was busy handling the backlog of events.The year was ending again, and the number of year-end parties and award ceremonies was endless. As one of this year’s popular actors, Xiao He naturally couldn’t miss them.
Xiao Chen, who had come back with him, wasn’t idle either.
This time the team had gone to the desert. Not only did Xiao He have work, but Xiao Chen was also assigned a task: to film Xiao He’s desert daily life in G Province without revealing the production’s important plot points.
After all, there were few paparazzi photos of Xiao He, and his appearances during the filming of Super Spacetime Confrontation and Thief Catcher 2 were rare. So to ensure Xiao He’s exposure, the team had to use other means to make sure Little Box fans could see him often.
When Xiao Chen returned to Linghui Entertainment, the team immediately started editing, and on the weekend during peak hours they uploaded Xiao He’s “Silk Route vlog.”
The video was long and packed with content. The editing style actually felt a bit like a travel variety show, which made up somewhat for Xiao He not participating in Journey Across Mountains and Rivers.
Nobody knew where Xiao Chen had hidden to film; he captured clips of Xiao He and Pu Rong riding camels and running around, and he also filmed the crew lying on the ground together admiring the desert’s afterglow. That atmosphere—crew members filming while playing, friends teasing each other mercilessly—instantly moved countless netizens.
A small vlog exploded into all kinds of topics, with a swarm of people discussing it below.
Soon Thief Catcher 2 was on the trending list, and even the news that Xiao He hadn’t joined Journey Across Mountains and Rivers trended under the variety show’s big name.
Anyone with eyes could see this trending topic was bought by the show’s team—just trying to ride Xiao He’s wave of popularity, since Journey Across Mountains and Rivers had recently started recording.
However, because the show’s team had treated Xiao He well and offered a sky-high fee, Linghui’s operations checked the situation and didn’t intervene much. They tacitly allowed some free promotion for the variety show.
Linghui Entertainment.
After signing off on company papers, Xiao He went out to stroll during a break and noticed Liu Rulan carrying a small bag, looking very much like she was leaving early.
“Sister Liu, why are you leaving so early today?”
Xiao He asked in surprise.
It wasn’t that he wanted to be a malicious capitalist squeezing overtime out of staff—Sister Liu had always been this way. The title of Linghui’s second competitive king wasn’t for nothing. She was the one who always worked overtime; he had never seen her leave early.
“Is something up, Sister Liu?”
Xiao He asked with concern.
Today Liu Rulan dressed quite casually: a simple beige trench coat with knee-high boots and shoulder-length slightly wavy hair. She looked noticeably gentler, without her usual workplace assertiveness.
“Ah, going to meet an old friend.”
Liu Rulan touched the sunglasses atop her head, glanced at Xiao He, then seemed to think of something and casually asked, “Wanna come along?”
“Is this a friend I know?”
“Yeah, kind of a connection. Come and take a look.”
“Sure.”
Curiosity piqued in Xiao He.
“Then dress up a bit. Don’t attract paparazzi or unauthorized photographers—he can’t appear in public media.”
“Okay, don’t worry, Sister Liu.”
A few minutes later, Xiao He sat on a dining chair, exchanging glances with two other acquaintances.
“This Chinese restaurant has been open for many years and has excellent privacy.”
Liu Rulan removed her mask and said with a smile, “So you don’t need to worry. Take off your mask and hat; everyone can speak freely.”
Xiao He took off his hat and mask, glanced at Zhou Junhao sitting on one side of the table, then at Tong Junhui on the other side, and finally looked at Liu Rulan beside him, feeling both amused and embarrassed. “Alright.”
Okay, okay. He truly hadn’t expected that when Liu Rulan said meeting an old acquaintance, it would be to see Tong Junhui!
And of all coincidences, Tong Junhui had brought reporter Zhou Junhao along!
Seeing the people at the table, Xiao He really didn’t know what to say.
“This is Xiao He, you should know him.”
Liu Rulan continued the introductions and fixed her gaze on the person Tong Junhui had brought. “This is—”
Tong Junhui calmly introduced, “This is my friend Zhou Junhao. He’s now my colleague, also my partner and senior.”
Across the table, Zhou Junhao met Xiao He’s eyes from a distance, and both offered awkward dry laughs.
“Hehe, hello, hello.”
“Hello, Teacher Xiao. Hello, Teacher Xiao.”
