The Secret Realm of Time, His and Her Life Through the Changes

"Didn't we already do a live stream in Xichuan the day before yesterday? Why are we having another one scheduled for tonight?" Ding Jiajia grumbled with dissatisfaction.

Just now, she sat to the side and witnessed a group of people in the conference room "besieging" Shang Yibo. President Shen even used PUA tactics to put pressure on him, and even Zhou Yanruo from Rushang Group did not stand up to speak for Shang Yibo.

"The Xichuan event was a themed event, but it was broadcast live, which is different from the live broadcast featuring the cast and crew tonight," Shang Yibo explained while flipping through the script.

Although Shang Yibo disagreed with this promotional method, since he had already decided to cooperate with the production team's promotional work, he would devote himself wholeheartedly, which is his professional ethics.

"Yibo, you're always like this, always compromising for others. Is it because Sister Zhou Yanruo just said that this drama is the result of the joint efforts of the entire cast and crew that you agreed to their request?"

"If I agree, I agree. There's no need for so many questions. Let's get ready."

Qi Qingnan: "Jiajia, go and contact Givenchy and see if they can send over their Fall/Winter runway collection. We couldn't arrange it for the last event, so let's give them face this time."

Ding Jiajia said, "I'll call them first to see if they'll deliver it tonight, or if Brother Wang and I will go pick it up."

"Let them send it over. It would be a big favor if they could arrange for Yibo to wear their clothes. Don't spoil the brand."

"Okay," Ding Jiajia replied and went out to make the call.

The phone on the table rang. He answered it, said a few words, then pressed the speakerphone button, put the phone back on the conference table, and said, "It's Lei Lei calling. There are some details of the interaction that need to be reviewed beforehand."

Then, Lei Lei's affected voice came through the phone: "Yibo is here too, right? Our Lai Lai is here too."

Qi Qingnan said, "Everyone's here. What's up? Speak."

Lei Lei: "Nan Nan, you should arrange for Yi Bo to reply on Weibo first. Just now, Lai Lai posted a Weibo tagging Shang Yi Bo. Let's interact on Weibo first, then get on the trending topics, and tonight's live stream will have more buzz."

"By the way, the CP name 'A Promise Worth a Thousand Pieces of Gold' has already been created on Weibo. Remember to arrange for Shang Yibo to make a surprise appearance in the CP to check in."

"Okay, is there anything else?" Shang Yibo couldn't help but ask.

Then Xu Nuolai's voice came through the phone: "Yibo, is that you? I can hear you. During the live stream tonight, let's interact more. I'll include you, and then we'll get Lei Ge and the others to get one or two trending topics."

Shang Yibo frowned, flipping through the script rapidly without saying a word.

Jie Can was already displeased with Shang Yibo. Young Master, don't back out now. We've already gone this far. If you quit in a fit of pique, it won't be good for anyone.

So he took over the conversation and said, "Lei Lei, you guys plan to create a few trending topics, but don't take up all the resources. That's enough, or it will backfire and cause trouble."

Jie Can picked up the phone and said, "Alright, let's get ready and talk when we meet tonight."

Then hung up the phone.

Qi Qingnan picked up Shang Yibo's phone, asked him to unlock it, and then logged into Shang Yibo's Weibo account.

Xu Nuolai posted a Weibo message: "I've finally found you at the ends of the earth. See you tonight." He tagged Shang Yibo and the official Weibo account of "Wandering the World with a Sword".

Qi Qingnan replied on behalf of Shang Yibo with the message, "We are all in this together." She also tagged the official Weibo account of "Wandering the World with a Sword".

A few minutes later, the topic "[Tonight, we reunite on the internet and talk about our deep brotherhood]" became a trending topic.

Zhou Yanruo picked up her phone and logged into Weibo, just in time to see this trending topic.

She scrolled through the trending topics and saw the comments from netizens below:

[Isn't this supposed to be a brotherhood? Why does it have a BL (Boys' Love) vibe?

Is the young master also going down this path? I don't understand.

I hope my Lai Lai doesn't get corrupted by that arrogant guy.

[They couldn't keep up the act any longer and finally showed their true colors.]

[Going to the live stream tonight.]

[Such a good book, and they just had to adapt it into a TV series. I could tolerate the drastic changes, but now they're doing something so ridiculous.]

[Hahaha, I can't stop laughing! They're both my type, you two can flirt with each other all you want.]

Under this topic, netizens freely expressed their thoughts.

Immediately afterwards, another topic, "[Promise to speak tenderly about this moment]", topped the trending entertainment section.

Zhou Yanruo frowned. What kind of nonsense was this? Was there something wrong with the direction of the production team's publicity?

She handed her phone to Shang Yibo and said, "Take a look at the online reactions first. What's all that stuff under these trending topics?"

Shang Yibo didn't take the phone; he merely glanced at the screen and said calmly, "Isn't this what you wanted?"

"No," Zhou Yanruo said a little guiltyly, "Let's see how the online live stream goes. It shouldn't backfire."

"as you wish."

Shang Yibo's words were clearly emotional; he wanted to see why Zhou Yanruo was different from the one he knew, and exactly what was different.

-

At 6 p.m., they arrived at the live broadcast room of the "Wandering the World with a Sword" platform on time, as planned.

Shang Yibo went directly to the actors' dressing room with Ding Jiajia to get dressed, and Givenchy's over-season clothing was also delivered along with them.

Zhou Yanruo and Qi Qingnan were in the live broadcast room, watching the staff make the final equipment adjustments.

A large entourage from Yuxiang Entertainment Company strode in, and Xu Nuo brought quite a few staff members.

Besides the manager, Lei Lei, personally leading the team, there was also a team of 6 or 7 assistants. This shows how much they value this drama.

Zhou Yanruo asked Qi Qingnan in a low voice, "Why are there so many of them?"

Qi Qingnan covered her mouth with her hand and explained to Zhou Yanruo, "Xu Nuolai has already had three dramas flop, and the investors no longer have high hopes for him. In addition, he is getting older and no longer has any competitiveness in the ancient costume drama circle."

She looked around and, seeing that no one had noticed the two of them standing there, said, "Yuxiang Entertainment is currently facing a talent shortage. The popularity of the new young actors is not as high as Xu Nuolai's. It's obvious that Xu Nuolai's popularity is declining, and there are no replacement artists, so we can only continue to support him as the 'number one'."

“I’ve seen Xu Nuo’s information. He’s only 26 years old. Is he old?” Zhou Yanruo asked in surprise.

“My Yibo is 20 years old, what do you think?” Qi Qingnan pursed her lips and said.

"No wonder."
