It was not until midnight that the recording ended smoothly.
After turning off the camera and calling it a day, the exhausted artistes exchanged pleasantries and prepared to leave.
The various teams came forward to deliver water and cell phones.
The scene was a little chaotic.
Zhou Lan handed the phone back to Zhou Yun and said, "There is still a pre-interview later."
Zhou Yun nodded. "I remember."
Actually, she was already sleepy. Usually, Zhou Yun did not sleep at this time. However, after a day of filming and playing various games while she had to be on high alert in front of the camera, she was exhausted now that she could relax.
Liu Qingqing suddenly walked over and asked, "Xiaoyun, I heard that you're going for a pre-interview later. I have hot coffee here. Do you want a bottle? It's low-sugar."
The camera was turned off. Zhou Yun didn't expect Liu Qingqing to take the initiative to talk to her.
"Sure. Thank you, Sister Qingqing."
Zhou Yun would naturally receive the kindness that was offered to her.
"Thank you for taking care of Xiaoyun today." Zhou Lan thanked her,
Liu Qingqing looked at Zhou Lan and waved her hand with a smile, saying, "We're taking care of each other. I have another schedule to attend. Let's talk next time."
"Bye-bye."
Zhou Yun waved goodbye to Liu Qingqing.
At this moment, Su Yan suddenly walked past her with her men. There were so many of them that Zhou Yun and Zhou Lan had no choice but to take a step back.
"Have you got the video?" Zhou Yun asked Zhou Lan in a low voice.
"Mm." Zhou Lan asked, "Do you want to release it?"
"Not at the moment."
Zhou Yun reached out her hands and wrapped them around Zhou Lan's neck, pressing herself against her.
"I'm so tired."
"It's been hard on you. Hang in there for a while more. You can go back to the hotel after work." Zhou Lan patted Zhou Yun's shoulder and said, "You don't have work tomorrow morning, so you can sleep a little longer."
During the pre-interview, they mainly asked a few questions related to the recording of this episode.
They asked her for her impression of everyone and if there was anything else she wanted to say.
They were very ordinary questions, but they were also those that everyone liked to watch.
Every celebrity's fans loved to see other celebrities praise their idols.
Zhou Yun basically struck a balance. The ones who were slightly tilted were Su Yan and Liu Qingqing.
"I'm not in the same team as Sister Yanyan this time, so I don't have many opportunities to chat with her. But she's really beautiful." Zhou Yun's eyes sparkled.
"Sister Qingqing really takes care of me. She's not as cold as the Internet says. Moreover, she's really enthusiastic when interacting with me in private. As I'm new here, she's afraid that I'll be awkward alone, so she always talks to me and creates new topics. I'm especially grateful to her."
...
By the time she finished work, it was already one in the morning.
Zhou Yun and Zhou Lan got into the car and returned to the hotel.
It was not until this moment that Zhou Lan had the time to tell Zhou Yun what happened after the explosive news in the morning.
"In the evening, Song Chi's company finally released a clarification statement. The public opinion online is still good to you now because we clarified it early and guided it. Everyone is basically blaming those unscrupulous marketing accounts now."
Zhou Yun nodded and yawned.
"But because of the popularity this time, there are a few collaboration requests for you." Zhou Lan said, "I'm going to take them all."
Zhou Yun acknowledged and said, "Sister Lan, it's fine as long as you decide on this matter."
The partnership between the two had more trust than that between ordinary agents and artists.
"You can post on Weibo later and say that you just finished filming 'The Weather is So Good'." Zhou Lan said, "Director Wang asked for it."
Zhou Yun's popularity was at its peak now. If she posted a Weibo post to promote "The Weather is So Good" now, it would also be very helpful for the show.
No matter how popular a show is, it needs to be backed with statistics, because the statistics have to be shown to advertisers.
It was not just the viewership ratings and views. In this era of social media, the amount of participation and discussion had also become the indicators to measure a program.
Zhou Yun handed her cell phone to Zhou Lan. "Go ahead. I'm not clear-headed now."
Zhou Lan picked up the phone and turned on the camera function. "Look here, take a picture."
Zhou Yun opened her eyes, forced herself to be energized, and smiled.
Zhou Lan uploaded the photo with the caption: "It's a wrap. I look forward to seeing you soon in 'The Weather is So Good'!"
"Alright." Zhou Lan returned the phone to Zhou Yun. "Sleep for a while. I will wake you up when we get there."
Zhou Yun instantly closed her eyes and fell asleep.
In a daze, she had a dream.
In the dream, she was still the pearl that her parents doted on.
Her childhood bliss was colored, and there was the carousel that carried her laughter.
All the sorrow had not yet come, all the misfortune had not yet occurred.
Until a sudden car accident happened and her parents passed away.
Zhou Yun's heart palpitated as she came to her senses.
Outside the car window was a quiet city. In the middle of the night, even the streetlights looked lonely.
She lowered her head in disappointment and only came back to her senses after a while.
She had arrived at the hotel and could go back to sleep.
Zhou Lan turned around and called her name. "Zhou Yun, wake up. We are here."
Zhou Yun acknowledged. She had actually woken up a long time ago.
