Chapter 48 – Who Called Me Brother Before?

Song Yunran never thought that in the hearts of netizens, Qin Ke had a CP partner other than him.

When he visited the set of “Jianghu Lu”, most of his attention was focused on Cheng Jiaming, and he didn’t pay much attention to what kind of person the second male lead was.

But who cares about him?

Song Yun Ran clicked into the dizzy super talk.
A breath of anger turned into a dozen Weibo posts and data.
And while doing so, he also urged Qin Ke: “You should not speculate CP with others in the future, not even for commercial hype.”

Qin Ke asked helplessly, “When have I ever hyped up?”

Whether in his previous life or in this one, the two acting careers he experienced, he never had a similar encounter.

Although he couldn’t stop the netizens from wanting to get high on something, Qin Ke was used to walking independently.
Therefore, the CP fans couldn’t stand up to the storm.

Song Yunran thought about it, then nodded his head in satisfaction and said: “That’s good, it will save the company the trouble of giving you a purification in the future.
And in the future, you know clearly how popular you will be, and other company personnel are bound to help the poor.
Dad does not want to raise other people’s children.”

Qin Ke was silent for a moment, and wanted to ask ‘what about I and your CP’.

But then he thought, according to Song Yunran’s habit, he will definitely say “father-son love” and so on, so he directly noted: “Want to be a father again? Who called me brother before?”

Song Yunran’s fingers, which were busy reposting, were full of regrets about the impulsive moment before.

But after regretting, he found that he is now no longer flustered.

He secretly analyzed that the previous conceding was only because he was afraid that Qin Ke would hold a grudge against the person who had caused his rebirth, but now Qin Ke’s frank attitude was there and he had nothing to fear from now on.

So Song Yunran turned his head and said resolutely, “You heard wrong.”

“Really?”

Qin Ke laughed, and then stretched out his arm to take the phone sitting on the bedside table.

Song Yunran caught a glimpse of his movement and his whole body felt bad.

He had seen this episode, when Fang Zhou came to talk about the termination of the contract, didn’t he also secretly use his phone to record?

I didn’t think Qin Ke, who had a noble face, would also learn Fang Zhou’s tricks!

He hurriedly rolled out of bed and rushed to Qin Ke’s side with one quick step, just wanting to seize the phone to destroy the evidence.
However, he found that Qin Ke’s phone screen was stuck in the interface of editing a Weibo post.

“???”

Song Yunran’s hand hovered above the phone urgently, neither snatching nor retrieving it, in a very awkward situation.


Qin Ke lifted his eyes, his tone was serious: “Chen Jing asked me to send a Weibo message to appease my fans, what’s wrong?”

After half a day of confusion, Song Yunran finally found the ability to speak and asked dryly, “You’re not going to play a recording?”

“What recording?” The smile on Qin Ke’s lips was creeping up to the corners of his eyes.

What are you pretending to be ignorant for, of course it is the recording of me calling your brother.

He spat once in his heart, and then realized, where is that kind of thing, Qin Ke was purely teasing him.

“Aren’t you childish?”

Song Yunran laid back on the bed with a cold face, and heard the low laughter coming from the side.
He is angered half to death.

Live in your damn double ward.

He thought, tomorrow dad will apply to move back to a single ward, so that Qin Ke can go alone to tease ghosts.

However, Song Yunran’s wish did not come true.

The third day of admission, the attending doctor announced that he could be discharged from the hospital.

He didn’t expect to be so tough to fight, and while he was moved, he had some unspoken regrets.
However, he couldn’t figure out what he was regretting.

After half a day of thinking, Song Yunran put the fruit basket from his parents on Qin Ke’s bedside table, “I’m too lazy to take this away, you can take it.”

Qin Ke looked at the fruit basket he had received, and said after a moment of silence, “Thank you.”

“Don’t be too touched, hurry up and get out of the hospital to make money for me.”

Song Yunran smoothly returned a sentence.
After finishing the sentence, he felt that it was not right, Qin Ke was injured and hospitalized because of him.
This sentence would make him look like a cold-blooded capitalist, so he corrected, “I didn’t mean that, I mean……”

“I know.” Qin Ke understood, “I will get better sooner, don’t you worry.”

Song Yunran nodded and waved goodbye to his patient.

When he got in the car to go home, he suddenly realized that the same words, said by themselves versus said by others are entirely different things.

The former is a polite phrase to wish people a speedy recovery, the latter somehow becomes a word of shame, but the other side is thoughtful and considerate.

For example, just now, he unfortunately fell into the latter.


Song Yunran fist hardened, thinking that Qin Ke loves to add drama to his own life every day.
But he is the President Xiao Song, where he has the leisure time to worry about others? It seemed that his friendly conversation before he left was all about worrying that Qin Ke would stay alone in the hospital and would not want to leave.

It’s ridiculous.

In order to show that he does not have such a thought, he angrily grunted at the air.

Unexpectedly, the driver in the front row immediately responded: “Xiao Song, did you find someone following you again?”

Song Yunran: “……no.”

After the accident, his family immediately changed the driver for him.

In the name of the driver, in fact, more closely, it should be a bodyguard who can also drive.
Just in case he encounters someone as heartless as Chu Xiao Chen again.

Song Yunran did not object to this, and not long after he returned home, he received a call from Assistant Tang.

The approval of “Hong Bai Xi Xi ” has been passed.
The next step is to determine the release date.

Assistant Tang analyzed: “Unfortunately, the National Day has already been missed, and the Spring Festival is mostly filled with family-friendly movies.
So the subject of “Hongbai XixI” is not suitable for release in the Spring Festival.
The producer’s intention is to simply set it around the Qingming Festival next year.”

This movie was originally about the drama caused by a funeral, and Qingming is also a suitable holiday.

But Song Yunran, after hearing this, was surprised and asked, “They want to delay until next year?”

Assistant Tang: “It’s not intentionally delayed, it’s just that the overall consideration is more appropriate.”

Song Yunran said, “Wait a minute, I’ll call back later.”

He put down the phone and frowned as he thought about what was going on here.

In his previous life, “Hongbai Xixi ” also missed the National Day, and was chosen to land on the big screen in late October.
There was only one imported blockbuster in theaters, and then it took a good amount of box office at this non-popular time as a dark horse.

Why, in this life, would the producers want to choose the Qingming Festival a few months later?

Song Yunran had confidence in the quality of “Hongbai Xixi” and wasn’t afraid that just a few months would affect its final results.

However, the crux of the matter is that he is still carrying the burden of reaching 500 million of net profit in two years!

If he waited another six months, wouldn’t his hope of achieving this goal be even slimmer?

Song Yunran was struggling for a long time, but still dialed Qin Ke’s cell phone number.


Perhaps this is an alliance.
During the waiting time, he wandered off thinking that it is better to have someone to discuss with than to figure it out on your own.

After the call was answered, Song Yunran directly told the situation here and asked, “How strange, why didn’t the “Hongbai Xixi” follow the initial setup?”

Qin Ke was silent for a long time before he replied, “Because they were too poor at the beginning.”

“……”

Song Yunran choked for a moment, he calculated a lot of numbers, but did not expect the answer to be actually so simple and bleak.
It is because the crew is too poor, so as soon as they passed the review, they released the film as soon as possible in order to recover the funds.

“What do you mean?” Song Yunran suddenly became dissatisfied, “Xinghe investment money is not money?”

Qin Ke dumbly laughed: “Not really.
I guess they want to choose a more secure time to release the film, leaving more time for publicity.
So they don’t have to force the release.”

That makes sense.

But Song Yunran does not want to wait, he wants to cash out as soon as possible, to avoid the tragic end of kneeling down and begging Bai Waning not to send him to the marriage.

But the 20 million he invested in “Hongbai Xixi ” is not enough to give him absolute power of speech.

A reasonable account must be given to convince the producers that it doesn’t take that long to get a good publicity effect.

It seems like it’s time for another round of Ning Dong’s money.

A week later, shortly after Qin Ke left the hospital by car, he caught a glimpse of something familiar flashing outside the car window.

His right shoulder has not yet healed, the speed of turning his head is a little slower than usual.

It just so happened that when the vehicle turned a corner, he missed the best time to turn around and confirm.

In desperation, Qin Ke had to ask his assistant, “There was a billboard on the roadside just now, did you see it?”

Xiao Ke smiled mysteriously: “Don’t be surprised, that’s nothing.”

Qin Ke: “?”

He remembered the phone call from Song Yunran that day, and his heart vaguely rose with a sense of foreboding.
He then clicked on the Weibo page to find out what happened.

In the past, when he typed in the words “Hongbai Xixi”, the only thing that came up was the content that Qin Ke’s fans had been waiting for.

However, when he searched again today, he was stunned for a few seconds by the overwhelming amount of discussion.


Xiao Ke came over and acted as a commentator: “Xiao Song has asked the official Weibo sites of Ning Dong Group to collectively promote your movie yet again.
And it’s not just the online promotion, now all the office buildings and shopping malls across Ningdong have all put up posters of “Hongbai Xixi “, and you can see it wherever you go.”

After saying that, he flipped out the video saved in his phone: “Look, this is the night scene of Ningdong Group headquarters.
Using the way a group of buildings light shows to release the trailer, everyone who walks by will not miss it.”

Qin Ke lowered his head and smiled silently after watching the three-minute teaser.

He knew what wild way Song Yunran had taken, a short period of viral bombardment propaganda.
After forcefully attracting everyone’s attention, he would launch “Hong Bai Xi Xi” just when the iron was hot.
His eagerness was simply overflowing.

However, netizens didn’t know the inside story, and they all expressed that they didn’t understand the group’s hype.

[Ning Dong is probably crazy.
The whole group is involved in promoting a small budget movie, what if they lose money in the end?]

[The obvious people don’t say dark things, I actually kind of want to see Ning Dong get hit in the face.]

[Laughing to death, the punch in the face is predestined, okay? The main actor in the movie is Qin Ke, what box office appeal does he have? Fans should not take out “Jianghu Road” for loans.]

The comments of the passersby and black fans aside, Qin Ke’s fans couldn’t help but get nervous when they saw this horrible situation.

Hong Bai Xixi’s story is not much of a mainstream topic.

The fans are not expecting it to explode at the box office, all they want to do is to help Qin Ke get a little good word of mouth.

But now it’s a tough ride.

Some people couldn’t bear the huge pressure and simply ran to Song Yunran’s Weibo page which promoted “Hongbai Xixi” and begged: [Thank you for being so optimistic about Qin Ke, but he is still a new actor.
Please accept the talent and don’t hype him anymore!

When Song Yunran saw this comment, he was waiting for the elevator in the corridor.

He cut to his Weibo, looked at the public opinion statistics sent by his assistant Tang, and smiled in satisfaction.
He turned back to Weibo and briefly replied with two words.

[I am not.].
