The assistant looked at Wen Zheng in surprise. When did their president start to care about the entertainment industry?
She said "OK", turned around and left the office. Less than ten minutes later, the intercom in Wen Zheng's office rang.
"Mr. Wen, Lu Wenxing is not signed with any entertainment company at the moment."
"Okay, got it."
Wen Zheng hung up the phone, withdrew his eyes from the documents, picked up the phone and made a call.
"Hello, Wen Yan."
"Tsk, you should call me uncle." Wen Yan's voice came from the other end of the phone, his tone was lazy, and he deliberately prolonged the ending sound, "Strange, my nephew actually called me?"
Wen Zheng paused, "You are one year younger than me."
"So what? I'm older than you." Wen Yan's voice was nice, but his sloppy tone really deserved a beating.
Wen Zheng was too lazy to argue with him about this issue which had not been clarified for more than 20 years, and directly stated his purpose.
"Xu Rong was the top agent last year, right?"
"Really?" Wen Yan was confused and didn't understand why Wen Zheng suddenly asked this.
"Ask Xu Rong to sign an artist named Lu Wenxing."
Wen Yan was stunned for a long time, wondering if he was wrong. "What did you say?"
"I'll ask Xiao Chen to mail you a hearing aid?"
Wen Yan didn't bother to argue with him, his tone was full of disbelief, "When did our President Wen start working as an agent?"
"You bought a supercar for the little internet celebrity last week. Do you want me to tell grandpa about it?"
"No, no, no! Nephew, don't be so mean to your uncle. It's just a signature, right? Don't worry, I promise to get it done for you. What... you want a meeting? Fine, fine. Nephew, I'm busy right now, so let's not talk about it for now. I'll arrange a meal when I'm free."
Wen Yan just hung up the phone and turned around to call Ji Yuan.
"Xiaoyan?"
"Sister-in-law, let me tell you, there is definitely something wrong with Wen Zheng!"
Ji Yuan was completely confused and didn't understand what was happening with her eldest son.
"What's wrong?"
"There's something wrong with him!" Wen Yan said seriously, "You know what? He just called me personally and asked me to sign a little star."
"How bizarre! My eldest nephew works six days a week and is preparing for work one day. I thought he and his work were going to become a loving family. But just now, he asked me to sign a little star?"
Wen Yan's tone was full of shock, and he wished he could stand in front of Ji Yuan to express how shocking Wen Zheng's call was to him.
"Xiao Zheng asked you to sign a little star?"
"Yes! Sister-in-law, there must be something wrong with Wen Zheng. This is totally out of his control."
Ji Yuan didn't show any particularly shocked reaction, she just smiled and said, "You are only allowed to buy a supercar for a little internet celebrity? Is it a rare thing for Xiao Zheng to recommend someone?"
"Sister-in-law, how did you know I bought a supercar? No! That's not the point. This wouldn't be surprising to anyone, but this is Wen Zheng! Aren't you surprised?"
"Xiao Zheng has never given me any worries since he was a child. There must be a reason for everything he does." Ji Yuan was 100% confident in Wen Zheng and was not as surprised as Wen Yan.
"If Wen Zheng just said one sentence, maybe someone just asked him to do something. But..." Although Ji Yuan said this, Wen Yan's surprise did not diminish at all.
"He specifically asked Xu Rong to sign that little star. Xu Rong is our company's top agent. Let alone whether Xu Rong is willing or not, his best actress Song Jiajia may not be willing either."
Song Jiajia is one of the pillars of Huayi Media and just won the Best Actress award last year. Currently, Xu Rong is concentrating on training Song Jiajia and has arranged several assistants for her.
Ji Yuan rarely pays attention to the entertainment industry. She will follow TV series or watch movies on weekdays, but she only pays attention to the drama itself and does not know much about the entertainment industry. In the entertainment company under the Wen family, everyone in the Wen family has shares, but it has always been managed by Wen Yan.
Wen Yan looks sloppy and unreliable, but he is no worse than Wen Zheng in managing a company. Since Wen Yan said so, Ji Yuan couldn't help but ask a few more questions. He wanted to know why Wen Zheng suddenly became interested in an artist.
"Which artist does Xiao Zheng want you to sign?"
"Oh, it's that one..." Wen Yan suddenly stopped.
Shit, I was so caught up in being shocked and teasing that I didn’t even remember the artist’s name, “Xing”?
Ji Yuan stared at him for a long time, and without waiting for Wen Yan's reply, she asked again, "What's wrong?"
"I forgot."
Although Wen Yan is Wen Zheng's youngest uncle, he is one year younger than Wen Zheng. He stays at his eldest brother Wen Huaihe's house every summer vacation because he likes to play with his eldest brother's youngest son, his little nephew Wen Chi.
However, Wen Zheng did not allow Wen Yan to harm his brother, and even did not avoid Wen Yan's presence, and said to Wen Chi in front of him, "Xingxing, stay away from Wen Yan."
Wen Yan's daily life at his eldest brother's house is strictly controlled by his eldest nephew Wen Zheng.
Even now... Wen Yan still feels a little bit jealous of this nephew whose personality is like a copy and paste of his elder brother, although he is unwilling to admit it.
Ji Yuan: “…”
"Since Xiao Zheng has told you so, you should do as he says. If Xu Rong is unwilling to take you, you can find another agent, preferably one who is as capable as Xu Rong."
“… Got it. I’ll ask again.”
On the other hand, Wen Zheng has already obtained the relevant information of Mango Entertainment.
Because Xiao Chen's sister is a fan of Lu Wenxing, Xiao Chen knows a lot about Lu Wenxing.
Wen Zheng had heard from Xiao Chen before that Lu Wenxing was bullied in her previous company. Later, the Jiang Zhengqin incident came out, and the recording of Wang Man and Jiang Zhengqin's conversation was uploaded to the Internet. Once the incident became a big deal, Mango Entertainment was also implicated.
Wen Zheng stared at the two pages of information, his sight falling on the part that exploited newcomers and repeatedly forced them to 'sell themselves' to accompany people in the circle.
Wen Zheng doesn't care about his family's entertainment company, but he still knows the unspoken rules of the industry, including the fact that many artists want to terminate their contracts, but have to accept it because of the high penalty fees.
But Lu Wenxing is not the type of person who would swallow his anger. Although they have only met once, Wen Zheng can see that Lu Wenxing is the type of person who will not take it too seriously as long as you don't touch his bottom line.
Mangcheng Entertainment must have done something to make Lu Wenxing leave decisively.
Thinking of Jiang Zhengqin's harassment of Lu Wenxing, the veins on Wen Zheng's forehead throbbed, and the hand holding the paper tightened a little, causing the footer to become wrinkled.
Normally, there is no conflict of interest between the Wen family's Huayi Media and Mango Entertainment. The two are not at the same level at all. But now Wen Zheng just doesn't want to make things easy for Mango Entertainment.
It is unlikely to directly bring down Mango Orange, but it is still possible to make them lose some money.
Lu Wenxing's final scene was postponed because other actors had not finished their scenes at the same location, so he returned to school first.
At the same time, the crew did not release all the stills taken in the past few days, but released a few at a fixed time every day. Fans of the drama, books and various fans have long learned to wait and see.
It was still nine o'clock in the morning, more punctual than when employees clocked in for work.
There are nine stills in total, one of which is Lu Wenxing lying in a plum blossom forest.
There was thick white snow on the ground. Lu Wenxing was not wearing tights, but a very light blue Taoist robe that almost blended into the snow.
Her hair was half tied up, and her long, smooth black hair spread flat on the snow. Her fair face was as clean as snowflakes, her beautiful eyes were looking straight up, and there was a large blood-red plum blossom falling on her right eye. Under her tall nose were gorgeous lips.
There are plum blossoms scattered around, like blood dripping on the snow, which is amazing at first sight.
Most people cannot surpass the beauty of plum blossoms, but Lu Wenxing can. He has delicate facial features and outstanding temperament, and his ethereal aura can be felt even through the screen.
Gorgeous but not vulgar, beautiful but not coquettish.
During the time when Lu Wenxing was filming, his fans spontaneously formed a fan club and also set up several fan groups, some of which were dedicated to voting for Lu Wenxing, and some were dedicated to admiring his looks and collecting his beautiful photos.
Lu Wenxing has never posted on his Weibo since the show started. He uses a secondary account to check Weibo, but never pays attention to anything related to himself. Even so, he still knows that his number of fans has increased overnight, and that more and more people are paying attention to him.
He seldom posts content related to himself on public platforms, but as his fans increase, he has received a lot of care and support, but this only makes him more and more reluctant.
Being able to film is one of his wishes come true, at least he won't have so many regrets after retiring.
In the past, Lu Wenxing only cared about himself, but now he has fans.
The relationship between an artist and his fans is also mutual. Fans like him, so how could he completely ignore his fans?
If he really quits the entertainment industry, his fans will definitely be as reluctant as he is.
He appeared in the public eye, gained everyone's attention and love, but turned around and left when his fans supported him. He must be the most irresponsible artist.
Lu Wenxing went on Weibo and reposted the stills posted by the official Weibo account.
This was probably something he never expected. Within a minute of the Weibo post being published, the number of comments surged by hundreds.
In less than five minutes, there were more than 4,000 comments.
[Ahhhhhhhh!! Xingxing actually posted on Weibo! What kind of luck did I have today?][Crying, Xingxing finally remembered her Weibo password]
[I didn’t expect the surprise to come so suddenly!!!]
[Fuck, mom, I’ve been waiting for this!!!]
[Wow, can Xingxing post on Weibo more often in the future, even if it’s just reposting? The variety shows haven’t been aired recently and I don’t know where to go to see Xingxing] [Same as above, I’ve watched the first two episodes of “Weekend No Limits” over a dozen times] Lu Wenxing doesn’t mind the trouble, he reads every comment carefully, even if there are some discordant comments in between, but seeing the enthusiasm of the fans, he feels that somewhere in his heart has softened.
He was separated from his biological parents when he was young, but his adoptive parents gave him enough love. Lu Wenxing was not lacking in love. He understood very early what Ms. Lu said: when others give you love, you also need to respond with equal love.
Because love is mutual.
Just like he has not given up looking for his biological parents, even though he doesn't remember them, he misses them sincerely and with love, and he is sure that his biological parents are the same as him.
Lu Wenxing randomly selected a few Weibo posts to reply to, and the fans who received the replies were very surprised. Many of them took screenshots as souvenirs or posted on Weibo to show off.
"Xingxing, Professor Zhang is looking for you."
The classmate's words interrupted Lu Wenxing's reply.
"good."
When Lu Wenxing went out, there were few people in the corridor. When he came to school today, many students from other classes gathered at the door of their class to secretly watch him. The bolder ones came directly to ask for autographs, and some even chatted with him and added him on WeChat.
Then, they were all kicked out by the teachers who came to teach the class.
The office was opposite the teaching building. Lu Wenxing was tall and had long legs, so he reached the third floor in just a few minutes.
"Wen Xing, come in."
Before Lu Wenxing knocked on the door, Professor Zhang seemed to have eyes behind him.
"teacher."
"It's like this. I thought the final project you submitted last semester was pretty good. It just so happened that there was a joint design competition between several regions, so I took the initiative to submit your design to the competition."
Lu Wenxing did not interrupt, he listened to Professor Zhang carefully.
"Congratulations, your graduation project won an award."
Lu Wenxing was a little surprised, but he intuitively felt that Professor Zhang had more to say. Sure enough, Professor Zhang paused for a second and continued.
"Two students from Y University also won awards. Their president contacted our school personally and wanted to discuss the different teaching methods and concepts of the two schools. Are you willing to go to Y country as an exchange student?"
On the way back, Lu Wenxing still hadn't come up with a conclusion. To be honest, if he left the entertainment industry, he would definitely go into design, and being an exchange student from Country Y would be a shining mark on his resume.
——Buzz.
The vibration of his cell phone interrupted Lu Wenxing's thoughts. His brain cells were all tangled up in knots, and he picked up the call without even looking at who was calling.
A clear female voice came.
"Hello. Are you Mr. Lu Wenxinglu?"
"I am." Lu Wenxing paused, "Excuse me, what can I do for you?"
"Yes. I'm Xu Rong, the agent of Huayi Media. May I ask if Mr. Lu has time to talk to me in detail?"
The author has something to say: The name of the person who unlocked the star is Wen Chi.
Remember your uncle Wen Yan, who forgot his nephew's name due to dementia and will be hung up and beaten in the future. Mom almost knew the existence of Xingxing.
