Yu Xie slapped himself in the face, but no one outside knew about it. However, the fact that the famous director Kong Shen strongly supported "Chinese Paladin" spread all over the internet.
This is a director who has won a grand slam in the television drama industry, and he created the highest viewership rating of 3.27% in the past decade.
Now, such a famous director has actually stood up to speak for Xiao Qingfeng, which is something that almost no one, including Xiao Qingfeng himself, expected.
Moreover, director Kong Shen is currently in a semi-retired state, and his speaking out now shows his love for this TV series.
Therefore, this can be considered a severe slap in the face to Yu Xie.
While everyone was discussing it, Xiao Qingfeng, who was far away in Chengdu, finally finished his book signing event there. The event lasted for five days, with a full schedule every day.
Therefore, Xiao Qingfeng was considerate of his subordinates' hard work and decided to give all staff a day off, and then set off for the next city the next day.
While resting at the hotel, Xiao Qingfeng suddenly received a message from Luo Qingchuan.
We chatted once after adding each other on WeChat, but haven't talked much since. Looking at the messages the other person sent, I never expected them to message me.
"Teacher Xiao, congratulations! Your song 'Chengdu' has made the whole city famous. Influenced by you, I've come to Chengdu now. Do you have time to meet?"
Xiao Qingfeng was surprised to find that Luo Qingchuan had also come to Rongcheng, and even more surprised that she would ask him out right away.
After a brief moment's thought, Xiao Qingfeng agreed to Luo Qingchuan's request, replying, "Time and place?"
She had already rejected Luo Qingchuan once before, but the other party had disregarded the past and introduced her to director Li Guonong. Logically, she should repay this favor.
Therefore, Xiao Qingfeng naturally felt embarrassed to refuse Luo Qingchuan's invitation.
Chengdu, the enchanting tavern!
Xiao Qingfeng arrived at the Alluring City Tavern ahead of time and found a quiet spot to sit down.
Not long after, Luo Qingchuan appeared at the entrance of the tavern.
She wore a simple yet elegant outfit, the hem of her skirt swaying gently with her steps, like a blooming lily.
Her long hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall, and the slightly curled ends added a touch of playfulness and liveliness.
Luo Qingchuan's face was exquisitely beautiful, her fair skin as smooth and delicate as mutton fat jade, her eyebrows like distant mountains, her eyes like autumn water, and her long eyelashes trembling slightly, like butterfly wings.
Luo Qingchuan truly lives up to her reputation as a recognized beauty in the entertainment industry. She is tall and slender with a shapely figure, a tiny waist, and long, straight, and well-proportioned legs.
As Xiao Qingfeng watched Luo Qingchuan walk towards him, he couldn't help but marvel. He had thought that Luo Qingchuan on TV was already beautiful enough, but he didn't expect that she was even more beautiful in real life.
Luo Qingchuan approached the table and greeted Xiao Qingfeng with a smile: "Teacher Xiao, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
Xiao Qingfeng quickly stood up and said somewhat embarrassedly, "No, no, I just arrived too."
After the two sat down, the atmosphere became somewhat awkward and subtle.
Xiao Qingfeng cleared his throat, breaking the silence: "Why did you come to Rongcheng?"
Luo Qingchuan smiled and replied, "It's because of your song 'Rongcheng'. This song made me very curious about this city, so I wanted to come and see it."
Xiao Qingfeng felt a surge of emotion; these words sounded somewhat ambiguous.
However, Xiao Qingfeng didn't think the other party was interested in him, since very few people could catch Luo Qingchuan's eye.
So, Xiao Qingfeng responded, seemingly half-jokingly, "Thank you for liking my song."
Luo Qingchuan gently shook her head: "You're welcome, your song is really infectious."
Xiao Qingfeng smiled without saying a word. Although he was fearless, he was still a little afraid of being praised to his face because he didn't know how to respond.
After exchanging a few words, Luo Qingchuan's expression suddenly darkened, and he said in a low voice, "Teacher Xiao, why is it so difficult to peacefully terminate a contract in the entertainment industry these days?"
Luo Qingchuan has been feeling a bit irritable lately. She has been with her current company for five years, a full five years, but now she wants to terminate her contract.
However, the company's chairman and agent disagree with his decision to terminate the contract. They first tried to appeal to his emotions and made various excuses, even suggesting that he take a break before agreeing to the termination.
Luo Qingchuan had no goodwill towards her current agency and was even more determined to terminate the contract.
Xiao Qingfeng was quite surprised to hear this and blurted out, "You're the top female star of Jiahang Media, the cash cow of the entire company. No boss would easily terminate your contract, right?"
Luo Qingchuan sighed softly, a hint of helplessness in her eyes.
"Teacher Xiao, you don't know this, but my job at Jiahang Media seems glamorous, but in reality, I have a lot of frustrations."
She took a small sip of the bamboo leaf green tea in front of her and continued, "When I first joined the company, the resources were indeed quite good, and I worked hard to seize every opportunity. But gradually, some of the company's practices became increasingly unacceptable to me. In order to maximize profits, they gave me a lot of jobs and scripts that were not suitable for me. Some of the commercial activities were purely for making money, without any regard for my image or development plan."
A resolute glint flashed in Luo Qingchuan's eyes. "I am an actress. I hope to have more good works and be able to challenge different roles, rather than becoming a money-making tool. Moreover, the company is becoming increasingly harsh on profit sharing. I have put in so much effort, but I haven't received the rewards I deserve."
She paused for a moment, then continued, "Also, the company interferes excessively in my personal life. I can't even make my own private choices, which makes me feel very depressed. That's why I decided to terminate my contract and find a more suitable platform for my development."
Luo Qingchuan looked at Xiao Qingfeng, her eyes filled with anticipation.
"I heard that Zhuo Ziqi had a lot of unpleasantness with her agency back then, and it was you who stepped in to resolve it. So I was wondering if you could help me think of a solution?"
Xiao Qingfeng laughed. So he had become a middleman in the entertainment industry, specializing in mediating contract terminations.
However, Xiao Qingfeng also knew that given Luo Qingchuan's current status in Jiahang Company, she wouldn't have gone to this point unless the cooperation had truly broken down.
......
Meanwhile, at the headquarters of Jiahang Media.
Inside the general manager's office, Luo Qingchuan's agent was giving a report to General Manager Zheng Jiahui.
“Mr. Zheng, Qingchuan has rarely contacted me recently. Now she has suddenly gone to Rongcheng without notifying anyone. I can’t reach her by phone.”
Upon hearing this, Zheng Jiahui frowned. She had been overwhelmed with worry lately because of Luo Qingchuan's situation.
All I did was let her mentor a few newcomers, why did it have to turn into this?
If it were anyone else, it wouldn't matter; if they dared to treat you like this, you could just ban them. But Luo Qingchuan is different. Banning her would not only affect your company's stock price, but it would also easily cause criticism within the industry.
After pondering for a moment, Zheng Jiahui looked up at Luo Qingchuan's agent and asked, "Do you know why she suddenly went to Rongcheng?"
