Xia Wanyi, and she knew that he was frightened by Xia Zhen's previous incident. Considering that Fu Chi had just had an accident not long ago, she finally went along with Xia Zhiyi's wishes.
The siblings didn't chat for long before Xia Wanyi had to go to the school to take care of some things, so they hung up the phone.
Xia Zhiyi stared at the now-black screen in her hand for a long while before slowly exhaling and looking up at the sky.
"So annoying."
"Let's finish this quickly."
At times like this, even Xia Zhiyi couldn't help but think that if he had a weapon that could directly cut through the Power of the Plot, he could just smash that thing to pieces and there wouldn't be so much trouble.
On her way back, Xia Zhiyi received another call from Xu Chen.
When Xu Chen contacted him at this time, it wasn't to inquire about Xia Zhiyi's well-being; it was all about work.
The game " Jianghu " was very satisfied with its collaboration with Xia Zhiyi. At the same time, they were surprised to find that the game model appearance that Xia Zhiyi used before was inexplicably popular, and many players expressed their desire for the same style. The game team had a sudden inspiration and remembered that the character's clothes in the music video that Xia Zhiyi recorded before were also the same style.
Perfect for advertising, isn't it?
However, this part was not included in the previous contract, so we came back to them again to request authorization.
This was a small matter, and Xia Zhiyi agreed without hesitation.
Xu Chen: "Also, the Jianghu team is planning another live stream event during the Chinese New Year. They asked if you'd be interested. It'll be a one-hour live stream on New Year's Eve, where you can chat or just log in and play their game."
"If you're interested, I'll also ask if you'd like to wear that outfit from before."
Xia Zhiyi: "... Do they like me that much?"
I thought it was just recording a music video and that would be the end of the collaboration, but it seems like there's one follow-up activity after another.
Xu Chen also found it somewhat amusing, saying, "Perhaps the producers of ' Jianghu ' didn't expect it to be so successful."
Xia Zhiyi silent.
Xia Zhiyi: "Live streaming is out of the question, but shooting a short New Year's greeting video is no problem."
Xu Chen: "Huh?"
Xia Zhiyi paused, thought for a few seconds, and suddenly realized that the world was not yet at a point where celebrities and internet influencers would record short videos of themselves wishing everyone a Happy New Year and post them everywhere.
Xu Chen, however, realized what he meant and said thoughtfully, "That's a good idea."
Xia Zhiyi: "..."
Xu Chen: "Do you want that outfit they gave you? They said they can make you a new one for free."
Xia Zhiyi thought for a moment, then said somewhat helplessly, "Okay, bring it over and I'll record a video when I have time."
Xu Chen: "Okay."
Besides this incident, the promotion for " The Chasing " has also begun.
Xu Chen: " Director Mu from the production team said that you should participate in the promotional activities if you have time. He contacted your fans a few days ago and said that your fans are so pitiful, they don't have any promotional materials."
Xia Zhiyi: "... A variety show?"
Xu Chen: "Yeah, there's a variety show recording at Orchid TV next Wednesday. If everything goes smoothly, it'll be finished in two hours; if not, it'll take at most half a day. Director Mu's idea is that as long as you're available, you'll definitely get a spot."
"Recorded on Wednesday, airing during prime time on Saturday—in my personal opinion, this is a great opportunity."
Xia Zhiyi: "Okay."
"Also, regarding Xu Zixu's album promotion, she said that if you're interested, she can take you to participate in a travel variety show..."
Xia Zhiyi: "Stop, stop, I won't go."
Xu Chen: "Oh, then I'll just tell Xu Zixu directly. Actually, it's a good opportunity for Xu Zixu to mentor the newcomers in her company."
He brought Xia Zhiyi, knowing that the two had a good relationship, but for Xu Zixu at the moment, it would be better to do the company a favor.
Xu Chen knew before she spoke to Xia Zhiyi that Xia Zhiyi not agree to this, but she still had to talk to Xia Zhiyi and get a definite answer before she could pass it on to Xu Zixu.
Actually, Xu Zixu could have spoken to Xia Zhiyi directly about this, but since it could also be seen as Xu Zixu doing a favor for Tianhuan, and it also depended on Xia Zhiyi's arrangements, he passed it on to Xu Chen instead.
Xu Chen: "You can accept your refusal regarding Xu Zixu, but you still have to go on the travel variety show I arranged for you before."
Xu Chen had already discussed this matter with Xia Zhiyi before New Year's Day. At that time, Xu Chen asked if she wanted to participate in the episode that would air on New Year's Day, but Xia Zhiyi declined because she wanted to be with Fu Chi during the New Year.
Later, Xu Chen contacted the production team. Originally, they had scheduled an episode for after New Year's Day, but this time the travel variety show team wanted to try something new and would not do pre-recorded episodes. Instead, they would create a live special, meaning the episode would be filmed and aired on the same day.
However, there was a Xiao Yi on the production team's end. Fortunately, before the news was released, the live special was postponed, and the entire plan was almost scrapped.
Later, Xia Zhiyi suspected that the production team might have been influenced by her, so she jokingly suggested to Fu Yunyi that he come along. Fu Yunyi was curious about what the special was all about, so he asked Xu Chen to contact the production team, and they actually added his name to the list.
Then, the schedule was finalized, and no further unexpected events prevented filming from proceeding according to the original plan.
The date has been postponed from mid-January to the end of January, which is next Thursday. Xia Zhiyi will be going on a "trip" with Fu Yunyi.
Adding to the variety show on Orchid TV, that means Xia Zhiyi will be separated from Fu Chi for at least four days next week.
Xia Zhiyi told Fu Chi about the matter, and Fu Chi pondered for a moment before saying, "Alright, the New Year is just around the corner, let's take this opportunity to settle things at the company."
Fu Chi was naturally aware that Fu Yunyi was going to resume work and film a variety show, so the necessary arrangements had already been made.
Xia Zhiyi: "Okay, be careful."
Fu Chi smiled and said, "Don't worry."
As expected, Orchid TV's variety show was not a problem. Before that, Xia Zhiyi finished her final exams and brought Xia Wanyi and Xia Zhen to stay at the apartment.
Although Xia Zhiyi participated in the recording, he was not the main character, and Xia Zhiyi of stealing the spotlight from others.
Since the purpose was to promote the TV series, Fu Yunyi, the lead actor, naturally participated in the recording of the program and impressed many people with his performance in the games prepared for the show.
Host: "Wow, Fu Yunyi, that backflip you just did was so cool!"
Fu Yunyi smiled and said, "This is just Xiao Yi; the real expert is my teacher."
Before the show started, the host had chatted with Fu Yunyi for a bit and knew who Fu Yunyi was referring to with his seemingly joking remark. He also knew that Fu Yunyi was trying to get Xia Zhiyi some screen time, so he turned to Xia Zhiyi, "The teacher Fu Yunyi was talking about is Xia Zhiyi, right? I happened to see Xiao Xia's video clips before, and she's really amazing."
