"What kind of a strong enemy is Lu Wenxing?"
"He's good-looking. We have no advantage standing next to him."
Cheng Yuan made a "tsk" sound.
"What's there to worry about with a pretty loser? Today is a selection of variety show guests, not a talent show."
"But what if..."
Cheng Yuan interrupted him.
"Last week, Sister Man asked Lu Wenxing to accompany Director Jiang. Lu Wenxing was not happy about it and even smashed Director Jiang's head. Do you think Sister Man can easily forgive him?"
The little star's eyes suddenly lit up, "That's right, how will Sister Man punish him?"
"Lu Wenxing's magazine endorsement has been taken away, and maybe he won't even participate in today's variety show interview."
"Really?"
If this is true, it is simply an unexpected surprise. The little star's smile rose slightly, and he sneered.
"They are all small-time celebrities. Lu Wenxing doesn't like the casting director. Does he want to accompany the chief director?"
"The casting director has limited power, so he can only choose a minor supporting role. Lu Wenxing thinks highly of himself, so he might not like it. Maybe he has already..."
——Boom.
The door was pushed open with great force, making a loud noise.
When he saw Lu Wenxing standing at the door, the little star's face turned pale and he quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at Lu Wenxing's expression.
Unlike the nervous little star, Cheng Yuan and Lu Wenxing have always been at odds. He was not afraid of Lu Wenxing hearing what he had just said, and continued.
“…We have found the sponsor.”
Cheng Yuan's eyes fell on Lu Wenxing's sneakers, and he said contemptuously, "These shoes must be less than ten thousand."
Lu Wenxing didn't even look at him, walked straight to the empty seat, pulled out a chair and sat opposite the two of them.
He leaned back in his chair leisurely, his long legs stretched forward in a lazy posture.
Just when Cheng Yuan thought Lu Wenxing would not respond, Lu Wenxing spoke.
"Disappointed?"
Cheng Yuan was confused by the incoherent words and almost blurted out, "What?"
"You must be sorry that I didn't let you go to accompany Jiang Zhengqin." Lu Wenxing raised his eyelids and looked at Cheng Yuan.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Cheng Yuan retorted too hastily, stuttering, "Who, who would regret something like that?"
"Oh?" Lu Wenxing responded nonchalantly, "I thought you really wanted to go."
"Lu Wenxing." Cheng Yuan supported himself on the table and stood up suddenly.
"What do you mean I really want to go? When will I want to..."
"What are you arguing about?" Agent Wang Man walked in in high heels.
"I heard you guys yelling in the corridor. Is this company a place for you to quarrel?"
"Sister Man." Cheng Yuan turned off the engine instantly and stood aside as quietly as a chicken.
The little star also stood up quickly and called out "Sister Man" cautiously.
Wang Man ignored Cheng Yuan and said to the two artists behind her, "You two, find a seat."
"good."
The two artists were rather reserved and agreed quickly, but they didn't dare to sit down until Wang Man sat down.
Cheng Yuan and Xiao Mingxing stood there in silence, only Lu Wenxing leaned back in his chair without any burden.
Wang Man lowered her eyes and glanced at Lu Wenxing, whose whole body had the word "rebellious" written all over it. She then thought of the beating incident last week and her brows furrowed.
"Lu Wenxing, look at what you look like now?"
Lu Wenxing followed Wang Man's words and looked himself up and down, "I think it's pretty good."
Today he was wearing a white hooded sweatshirt, a jacket, ripped jeans, and new sneakers, which were a birthday gift from his adoptive mother.
Wang Man's face darkened and she slammed the document in her hand onto the table.
"You broke Director Jiang's head, and you call that good? Why didn't you beat me up too?"
"If Sister Man also intends to take advantage of me." Lu Wenxing answered slowly.
Wang Man glared at Lu Wenxing with her big eyes wearing beauty contact lenses and scolded him angrily.
"Lu Wenxing, because of your impulsiveness, the artists of Mango Orange Entertainment missed the opportunity to be cast in the TV series. Can you afford the loss alone?"
The leaders of Mango Entertainment invited Jiang Zhengqin to dinner last week and reached a consensus privately. Jiang Zhengqin will give priority to selecting suitable minor supporting roles or special actors from Mango Entertainment.
But Lu Wenxing didn't know what to do, he humiliated Jiang Zhengqin in public and beat him up. This made Jiang Zhengqin angry at Mango Entertainment and he removed all its artists from the casting list.
Wang Man had been scolded by her leader for two days because of this matter, and now she gets angry whenever she sees Lu Wenxing.
Among the people present, except Cheng Yuan who was watching the show, everyone else wanted to hide, for fear of being affected by Wang Man's anger.
Lu Wenxing, who was at the center of the anger, acted as if nothing had happened, while Wang Man had a heart attack out of anger.
"If you're smart, go apologize to Director Jiang and treat him to a meal. I won't give you any resources until he forgives you."
Wang Man would not give up until she had provoked Lu Wenxing. She stared at Lu Wenxing and spoke in a low voice with a mocking tone.
"Wen Yu joined the company at about the same time as you. He has already starred in two online dramas and received many endorsements. In the future, he will be approached by variety shows, movies and other resources. And what about you? You haven't even appeared on the big screen. You are a hopeless case."
Fearing that others might follow suit, Wang Man not only criticized Lu Wenxing harshly, but also warned other artists.
"If you listen to me, I'll give you another chance. Otherwise, get out of the entertainment industry as soon as possible. I don't have time to waste with you."
"Yes, Sister Man's time is very precious." Lu Wenxing echoed.
A triumphant smile appeared on Wang Man's lips. She raised her chin arrogantly, waiting for Lu Wenxing to admit his mistake.
However--
Lu Wenxing changed the subject and the words he said made Wang Man's smile freeze on her face.
"That's great, let's terminate the contract."
The conference room suddenly fell silent. Several artists looked at each other. Lu Wenxing must be crazy to dare to challenge Wang Man like this.
Wang Man was so angry that she laughed.
"You want to cancel the contract? Fine. I'll pay you 10 million in liquidated damages, and you can leave."
Wang Man's eyes fell on Lu Wenxing's sneakers and she sneered.
"Just because your sponsor is willing to spend 10,000 yuan to buy you sneakers doesn't mean he's willing to spend 10 million yuan to pay for breach of contract."
Lu Wenxing didn't explain. He took out his mobile phone from his pocket and, under Wang Man's gaze, clicked on the recording to play.
Then a clear female voice was heard, and the flattery could be heard even through the phone.
"Director Jiang, if you like Lu Wenxing, he's lucky. If you don't like him, we have other artists in Mango Entertainment."
The owner of the voice was Wang Man, followed by Jiang Zhengqin's deep voice.
"Lu Wenxing is obviously a good candidate for the entertainment industry. I like hardworking and motivated people. How about this. Let him…"
The ambiguous words that followed were interrupted by Lu Wenxing's pause button. Wang Man changed her arrogance and her expression changed again and again.
"Lu Wenxing, we can discuss anything. If you don't want to, forget it. I can find another artist from Director Jiang's side."
Lu Wenxing was too calm. Wang Man was worried that he might have other recordings in his hands, so she suppressed her anger and tried to comfort Lu Wenxing.
"The KM endorsement can be returned to you."
return?
Lu Wenxing sneered in his heart.
Wang Man took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.
"You should know that this afternoon, Mr. Gu will come to select guests for the variety show. You have an advantage in appearance, so your chances of being selected are high."
Lu Wenxing remained silent. Wang Man gritted her teeth and continued, "Think about it carefully. Terminating the contract is really not a wise choice."
“That’s not necessary.”
Lu Wenxing didn't want to give Wang Man face, so he stood up and left the meeting room directly.
Wang Man is very scheming and this is not the first time he has said something empty. He just wanted to trick Lu Wenxing into deleting the recording.
Lu Wenxing would not be fooled. No matter whether it was the endorsement of KM or the guest of the show chosen by Actor Gu, it would only be Wen Yu.
because--
The world he lives in is the world of a novel called "The Hottest Star".
Wen Yu is the protagonist of this novel, and the movie star Gu Yanshen is the protagonist.
As for Lu Wenxing, he is just a cannon fodder supporting role to set off the protagonist.
In the original novel, the protagonist concealed his wealthy identity and established himself in the entertainment industry through his own efforts.
Since she entered the entertainment industry, Wang Man has been following the protagonist all day long, asking about his well-being, more attentive than a personal assistant. This is to please the protagonist, because she already knew that the protagonist came from a wealthy family.
The protagonist, the shou, came into the public eye through an endorsement of KM magazine. Because he participated in the same variety show with the protagonist, his popularity increased more than ten times, and he went from an eighteen-tier celebrity to a popular idol.
Lu Wenxing hated the protagonist for using his resources to become famous. He became jealous and framed the protagonist several times, angering the protagonist's fan club.
The fan club joined forces to expose Lu Wenxing's crimes, and Lu Wenxing became a hot topic, where he was criticized and abused by many netizens.
Lu Wenxing's adoptive father lost his job because of this, and his adoptive mother, who was in poor health, was threatened by radical fans who sent her dead animals, which caused her to suffer a sudden heart attack and die.
Even his younger brother Xie Chengfei, who was in high school, committed suicide by jumping off a building due to school bullying and the pressure of rumors.
Cannon fodder Lu Wenxing met a mentally ill patient who was on the run and was hit by the other party's car, leaving him disabled and confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life.
If Lu Wenxing was the only one in the miserable situation in the dream, he wouldn't take it to heart at all.
But the scenes in his dream were confirmed several times, and Lu Wenxing couldn't help but become cautious.
Although he didn't know who his biological parents were, his adoptive parents treated him very well. Having lost his family once, Lu Wenxing cherished the hard-earned family affection and didn't want to put his family in trouble.
Lu Wenxing himself would not do the stupid things described in the book, but if the world of this book were to trigger a compulsory plot, he might not be able to control his own behavior.
After careful consideration, Lu Wenxing decided to terminate the contract.
Regardless of whether the plot will be forced to happen or not, what we can do now is to stay away from the entertainment industry and stay away from the top and bottom protagonists.
Of course, it is impossible to successfully terminate the contract based on the recording alone. Not only Mango Entertainment is secretly engaged in pimping business, but other film and television companies also have this phenomenon.
Even if Lu Wenxing passed the recording to the entertainment media, it involves too many people and the entertainment media may not dare to break the news.
He needs a more favorable bargaining chip.
——Ding Dong.
The WeChat notification sound interrupted Lu Wenxing's thoughts. The person who sent the voice message was Lu Wenxing's college roommate.
"Xingzai, your Mangcheng Entertainment is so awesome now. I heard that a director went to your place for casting a few days ago, and today Actor Gu is also there to select guests for a variety show."
Before Lu Wenxing could reply, his roommate sent another voice message, sounding a little excited.
"That's recording a variety show with the movie king. You said you are so good-looking. If Gu Yanshen is obsessed with looks, is it possible that he would choose you?"
No way.
Lu Wenxing, who had the plot in hand, broke his roommate's fantasy and turned to the bathroom.
"Don't be so naive. The movie king is not here to select guests. He is here to select his concubine..."
After he said the last word, he looked up and saw Concubine Gu Yan Shen washing his hands.
The two looked at each other through the mirror, and the air stagnated briefly.
Lu Wenxing put the phone into his pocket without any embarrassment.
It was not even half past two, and he remembered that Wang Man had notified the group that the interview time was three o'clock. Gu Yanshen came too early.
Of course, this was not something Lu Wenxing should have considered. He put on a business-like smile as if nothing had happened.
"Hello, Teacher Gu. You are here really early."
Gu Yanshen took out two pieces of paper towels and slowly wiped the water droplets on his hands, leaving Lu Wenxing with a stern profile.
But Lu Wenxing had no time to appreciate it. He was not sure whether Gu Yanshen heard what he said.
After a few seconds, Lu Wenxing felt that he should be more diligent, such as going to the bathroom downstairs.
"Sorry, I went the wrong way."
After Lu Wenxing finished speaking, he turned around and prepared to leave, when Gu Yanshen's cold voice suddenly sounded behind him.
"Why, you still want to go into the ladies' room?"
Lu Wenxing: “…”
