Chapter 117 Zhou Ping'an, the Lackey
Zhou Ping'an's gesture of inviting Vice President Ma to the stage was extremely respectful, with a 45-degree bow and a broad smile, which made Lu Yanhe feel particularly uncomfortable.
After all, this person has always been bossy and domineering in front of them, these small-time artists.
Vice President Ma went on stage, coughed lightly twice, and then began to speak.
"You're probably all wondering why the company has gathered you all here for a meeting today," Vice President Ma smiled. "Don't worry, it's because some great news is about to happen to you."
As soon as Vice President Ma finished speaking, a commotion immediately broke out in the audience.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment and couldn't help but start discussing it.
Good news?
Great news?
Falling on their heads?
Among the people present today, apart from a few popular idols like Li Zhibai, most of them are not very famous or well-known.
This kind of thing almost never happens to them.
So, everyone was a little excited when they heard that.
Seeing that he had successfully kept everyone in suspense, making them excited and eagerly watching him, Vice President Ma smiled with satisfaction.
"Our company's top agent, Chen Ziyan, is coming back soon. She will be holding a public interview within the company to select several new talents." After Vice President Ma finished speaking, seeing that most people didn't react, he knew that many people didn't know Chen Ziyan's reputation and therefore didn't understand how significant this was to them. He quickly added, "Chen Ziyan is a legendary agent at our Xingyu Entertainment Agency. She has managed two top-tier stars, Chen Bige and Shang Yongzhou. She went on vacation six months ago and will be back next month. Anyone chosen by Chen Ziyan will become famous. You should now know how valuable this opportunity is for you."
Many people may not know Chen Ziyan, but everyone has heard of Chen Bige and Shang Yongzhou.
As the two names were uttered, a cheer erupted from the entire audience.
Vice President Ma really wasn't exaggerating.
If someone is truly chosen by Chen Ziyan, and given a tailor-made development path and excellent resources, becoming a big star is a matter of luck, but achieving some minor success is almost guaranteed.
Vice President Ma let these people discuss for a while before interrupting them, saying, "So, everyone should work hard during this time. As long as you can be noticed by Chen Ziyan, then becoming famous will be just around the corner."
Lu Yanhe sensed that almost everyone around him was eager to seize this opportunity, as if they were determined to do everything in their power to get it.
Yan Liang also asked in a low voice, "Can we go to the interview too? Won't Brother Ping An have any objections?"
“Given his petty and narrow-minded personality, how could he not have any objections?” Li Zhibai said directly, “If you dare to go to Chen Ziyan’s interview, he’ll definitely sideline you.”
Yan Liang's face immediately fell.
"well."
Yan Liang suddenly thought of something and said, "Old Lu can give it a try."
Anyway, Zhou Ping'an didn't like him to begin with.
Li Zhibai nodded and said, "I also think that Lao Lu can give it a try, since you and Zhou Ping'an have already fallen out like that."
Lu Yanhe nodded.
He added, "Don't tell anyone else yet. I promised Zhou Ping'an that I would stay at school and attend classes without worry."
“Mind your own business,” Li Zhibai said. “He has no say in Chen Ziyan’s affairs.”
Lu Yanhe thought to himself, if only Zhou Ping'an wanted to kick him out of the company, then it would be much simpler. Now he just didn't know who was behind Zhou Ping'an, or who else was secretly watching him and trying to get rid of him, a nobody artist who posed no threat.
Why?
Lu Yanhe could never understand this.
"The second thing," Vice President Ma spoke up again.
As soon as he opened his mouth, the audience immediately fell silent.
The first thing gave them such a big surprise, and now everyone is curious about what the second thing will be.
"Director Luo Yuzhong's new drama 'The Golden Era' is coming to our company to cast actors. The drama will star Jiang Yuqian, and we need to find someone to play Jiang Yuqian's first love in the drama."
As soon as Vice President Ma finished speaking, the meeting room, which had just quieted down, erupted in another wave of shock and surprise.
This time, even Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang widened their eyes.
However, their surprise was different from others.
They immediately looked at Lu Yanhe.
Lu Yanhe also opened his eyes wide in surprise, not reacting for a moment.
Isn't this play, this role, the one Jiang Yuqian recommended to him before?
Why was it suddenly brought here and became everyone's opportunity?
Lu Yanhe didn't think for long before he quickly realized what was happening and looked at Zhou Ping'an.
Zhou Pingan sat in the first row on the left.
He didn't turn around, but laughed along with everyone.
Lu Yanhe couldn't see the expression on Zhou Ping'an's face at this moment, but he could almost imagine how Zhou Ping'an was feeling.
Yes, that's right, Jiang Yuqian recommended an opportunity to you.
So what?
Are we helpless against you? No problem, with a little manipulation, this interview opportunity will become available to everyone, and you'll suddenly be competing with over a hundred people.
Lu Yanhe could fully imagine Zhou Ping'an's thoughts.
-
Just as Lu Yanhe had predicted, Zhou Ping'an felt a sense of control and certainty of victory welling up within him.
But Lu Yanhe made a mistake; this idea wasn't his.
Zhou Ping'an looked at Vice President Ma standing on the stage. The latter had a kind and approachable smile on his face, like a benevolent elder who cared a lot about these young people.
He couldn't help but think to himself, if we're talking about ruthlessness, then it has to be Vice President Ma. How could he come up with such a despicable scheme?
Zhou Ping'an didn't know how Vice President Ma talked to Jiang Yuqian and Director Luo Yuzhong, but in the end, the result was that Lu Yanhe, who was the only one participating in the audition, became hundreds of young artists from the entire company participating in the audition.
Zhou Ping'an didn't turn around, though he really wanted to see Lu Yanhe's expression.
But that would make it too obvious.
I don't know what Lu Yanhe did to offend Vice President Ma, that he's being targeted like this.
There was nothing he could do.
It's actually a bit of a pity about Zhou Ping'an.
Lu Yanhe now has a positive image, is quite popular, and can even create a song. His song "Remembrance" has a considerable number of plays on music platforms, and many people really enjoy listening to it.
If things were managed properly, Lu Yanhe and this song would be a whole level more famous than they are now.
Unfortunately, it doesn't work.
Losing a commission was certainly painful for Zhou Ping'an.
But no matter how heartbroken he was, it wasn't worth offending Vice President Ma.
Zhou Ping'an was making his own plans—Chen Ziyan was coming back, and he couldn't let her take away Li Zhibai and Cheng Hai, the two most popular artists. He would have to have a good talk with them later.
