Shuangqing City.
Gong Shixiong Hot Pot.
"Damn it, the more I think about it, the angrier I get. They're clearly bullying Su Yu!" Zhang Yang placed the scalded duck intestines in the dipping sauce, suddenly losing his appetite.
It had been over a month since "Initial D" and there were no new filming plans. Coupled with Su Yu being targeted this time, he felt unhappy and invited everyone for a gathering to chat.
Zhang Yang was just like that; he couldn't stand seeing such things, especially when it was directed at Su Yu.
"We still have some influence in the entertainment industry. How about we rally fans to take action?" Zhang Wei nodded, then looked at everyone and suggested.
"We can try, to put pressure on the production team!" Jiang Xiao'e said indignantly.
"Forget it. Our fans are somewhat significant in the domestic entertainment scene, but on a global scale, we're not even a drop in the bucket," Lin Yanyu said with annoyance.
She had asked Su Yu, but Su Yu said it wasn't necessary to pay attention to it.
Lin Yanyu believed Su Yu would win, but she was still very displeased with the production team's actions.
"Damn it, Gong Juren, you're still in the mood to eat? Su Yu is being bullied like this!" Zhang Yang saw Gong Juren acting like nothing was wrong, picking up a piece of tripe to scald, and impatiently patted his shoulder.
The tripe that Gong Juren had just scalded fell into the pot when Zhang Yang patted him. He fished around with his chopsticks but couldn't find it. He couldn't help but sigh and look at Zhang Yang and the others, "What are you guys worrying about? Didn't you see that Brother Yu is fine?"
At the table, everyone else wore troubled expressions, while only Gong Juren and Su Yu were engrossed in eating.
Su Yu was even sweating profusely from the spiciness of the hot pot broth, chugging a bottle of cola with a "guzzle guzzle guzzle!"
"Little Gong understands me after all." After finishing the cola, Su Yu said with a light laugh.
"Of course. In my opinion, Brother Yu is invincible. Let alone competing with Sean in the US, even if you called all the producers in the US, Brother Yu could suppress them all!" Gong Juren's tone was full of confidence.
No matter when, Su Yu was his idol.
He had never doubted whether Su Yu would win.
Because in his heart, Su Yu could not possibly lose.
Even facing Sean in the US this time was not a big deal in Gong Juren's eyes.
"Are you really that confident?" Zhang Yang asked.
The others also turned their gaze to Su Yu.
"When have I ever lost?" Su Yu said, and then picked up another large piece of tripe to dip into the pot.
"Regardless, the production team went too far this time. Even if Su Su, you win, we should still ask the production team for an explanation," Lin Yanyu insisted.
She didn't care about suffering losses herself, but she didn't want Su Yu to suffer even the slightest bit.
"In the face of absolute strength, all schemes and tricks are vain," Su Yu shook his head.
Then, unwilling to dwell on the matter, he changed the subject, "Yang Ge, get ready, you should be quite busy recently."
"Why?" Zhang Yang was taken aback.
"Because Zheng Qi from CCTV 1 approached me for a collaboration on a movie. Your new film is about to start shooting, and I'll give you a special role this time," Su Yu said with a smile.
"What movie?" Zhang Yang was immediately delighted. He had been too idle lately, and his acting urge had been acting up.
"A role that could make you a film emperor, but you'll have to endure some hardship."
"Holy cow, that awesome?" Zhang Yang shot up, almost knocking over the dipping sauce bowl in front of him.
"Of course." Su Yu smiled mysteriously.
Another reason Su Yu accepted the movie about chronic myeloid leukemia was that there was a role that heavily tested acting skills. As long as Zhang Yang brought this character to life, he would definitely be nominated for a film emperor.
Even though Zhang Yang's acting skills might not be up to par yet, people shouldn't forget that Su Yu was a cheat.
With the "God-tier Teaching" skill, he could break down all aspects of the character and feed them to Zhang Yang.
Furthermore, if this movie became a huge hit, his reputation throughout China would soar. After all, it was a good deed for the public. In the future, when Jiangnan and Tingyu collaborated, if they encountered any negative publicity, this matter would serve as an immunity badge.
In the entertainment industry, public opinion was a sharp sword. In the hands of capital, it could destroy everything. Even though Su Yu had reached a high status, like Sun Wukong who leaped out of the Three Realms, ordinary capital had no effect on him. However, it was always good to be prepared, and who knew what would happen in the future?
...
In the following days.
Su Yu enjoyed a rare period of leisure, spending time with his parents at home.
"Xiao Yu, we've almost finalized your wedding with Yanyu," Zhang Guizhi mentioned Su Yu's wedding after dinner, while the family watched TV in the living room.
"So soon?" Su Yu was a bit surprised.
"The wedding date is set for next June, when you'll be of age," Zhang Guizhi said with a smile. Because life was good now and there weren't so many worries, her wrinkles seemed to have lessened.
"We originally wanted to have the wedding in Kyoto, as the in-laws have more guests there, and they are all big bosses, making it more convenient for them. But the mother-in-law said that since your hometown is Shuangqing, the wedding should be held in Shuangqing City. Moreover, the principal of Qingda called us and said that next year is your final semester of junior year, and they proposed to hold your wedding at Qingda."
"Qingda?"
Su Yu blinked slightly.
Indeed, it was November now, and in terms of time, he was already in his junior year's first semester. After June next year, he would enter his senior year.
Qingda was an art institution. In the senior year, there were generally no classes, as the school provided students with more internship opportunities. Therefore, students usually took their graduation photos after their junior year.
"It might not be appropriate?" Su Yu hesitated. Qingda was, after all, a school. Holding his wedding at a school, he worried about causing unnecessary trouble.
"The school will be on holiday on your wedding day, and it was personally invited by the principal of Qingda, who said the students were very supportive. Yanyu also feels that holding it at Qingda is very good. She said it's where you first met, which is very meaningful."
In June, the school would already be on holiday, so it would not affect the students' studies.
Moreover, most of the students at Qingda now were loyal fans of Su Yu. Many freshmen came to Qingda specifically because of Su Yu's name, but to their disappointment, this senior had not visited the school in a long time.
Regarding Su Yu's wedding, after Qingda conducted a survey, not a single person objected. They all very much wished to witness their wedding. In fact, because of this, they wanted to stay at school and not leave even when the school was on holiday.
"Alright, as long as it doesn't affect the students, I have no objections."
Su Yu thought for a moment and nodded.
He guessed the principal of Qingda's intentions. Originally, relying on his reputation was already great for admissions and advertising. If his wedding were also held at Qingda, enrollment next semester would likely be even more explosive, and Qingda's ranking among universities would further improve.
However, Su Yu did not mind Qingda doing this.
Qingda was his beginning, and it was also the beginning for him and Lin Yanyu.
Holding the wedding at Qingda was indeed very meaningful.
Even if holding the wedding at Qingda would serve as free advertising for Qingda, he had no objections.
