A cafe on a quiet street in Gimhae City.
Feng Luo was wearing big sunglasses and sipping coffee at the table while looking at his phone.
A year has passed, and Feng Luo, who was rejected by Kuiguang Group, still maintains the best figure and the most perfect manners.
It is difficult to bring about aging on the face of a first-line star like her in just one year.
"Sister Feng, Sister Feng!" Just like a year ago, Feng Luo's assistant was still helping out. Suddenly, she ran over with her phone, her face somewhat excited, "Take a look at this."
Feng Luo put down the coffee cup, his face obviously unhappy: "What's the matter? Didn't I tell you not to disturb me with unimportant things?"
In the year when he was refused a contract by Kuiguang Group, Feng Luo took on two dramas in total. One had average reputation and popularity; the other received a medium-low rating of 6.4 from Leopard.com.
Overall, it was a relatively fruitless year.
The assistant hesitated for a moment and said weakly, "Sister Feng, it was Kuiguang Group that sent us an email."
A year ago, when the assistant sent an invitation email to Kuiguang Group, her attitude was still very arrogant, and she felt that the entire Kuiguang Group was not as valuable as Feng Luo.
But just one year later, the industries of Kuiguang Group not only spread across the province and the country, but also cultivated a star like Shang Qianyu, whose status was very close to Feng Luo.
After filming "The Black Robe Inspection Team", Shang Qianyu was ranked among the second-tier actresses for her outstanding appearance and excellent acting skills.
After the huge success of "The Wandering Blue Star" and the box office reaching 4 billion, she almost reached the threshold of a first-line actress.
With the honor of winning the Golden Lion Award at the Water City Film Festival, it is a foregone conclusion that Shang Qianyu will become the next generation's popular star. All that is left is marketing and time.
As a veteran first-line star, or even someone with a keen vision who tried to get on board the Kuiguang Group, it is inevitable that he will feel a huge disappointment at this time.
When Feng Luo heard the word "Kui Guang", he almost dropped the coffee in his hand.
"Looking for me?" Feng Luo was like he had heard something out of the blue. "Who are you talking about?"
"Kuiguang Group, Sister Feng." The assistant was also a little unbelievable, "It's true, the email address they used to contact us last time was also this."
Feng Luo looked around and made sure there were no paparazzi following him. He then moved forward and asked his assistant to bring his phone over: "What did you say? Let me see it."
The assistant enlarged the text on the screen: "Look, Sister Feng, Kuiguang Group invited us to participate in their variety show!"
"Variety show?! Are they going to host their own variety show?"
"Yes, I heard it's going to be a grand event, with many big names invited, a very large venue, and all investments made. Sponsors are going crazy for the naming rights..."
"There are so many big names... what's the point of going there?" Feng Luo was obviously still upset about the last time Kuiguang Group ruthlessly rejected him. "Do I have to compete with others for the center position? No, no."
She rejected me so readily before, but now she invites me? After all, she is a first-line actress! The assistant was a little embarrassed: "But Sister Feng, Kuiguang Group said that as long as I can get the first place in the variety show, I can get the exclusive resource package of Kuiguang Group, such as the leading role of a movie."
"The rewards for the top three are not bad... Look at the publicity and promotion resources, and Chengyu Media is also involved! Even if we don't even get the consolation prize for the top five, the appearance fee they paid for inviting us is already very high!"
"Sister Feng, the variety show of Kuiguang Group itself represents huge exposure, not to mention it comes with money and rewards, so let's not fight with each other, right?"
Feng Luo thought about the various setbacks he had encountered this year, and then thought about the huge traffic of the Kuiguang Group. His tough attitude softened a lot.
Kuiguang Group’s first large-scale variety show…
If I could get first place and a leading role...think about the honor of "The Black Robe Inspection Team" and the box office of "The Wandering Blue Star".
No matter which one he gets, it can be said to be a milestone in his career! Even if the next movie of Kuiguang Group cannot reach such a high level, it is still a foregone conclusion that he will get the leading role in a well-received work.
This kind of resource is something that even first-line stars would fight over, let alone other people! It can almost be described as a priceless treasure.
Feng Luo silently swallowed the rest of his words and pretended to be calm and asked, "This kind of variety show is definitely not that simple. Did the Kuiguang Group say what kind of show it is? What preparations are needed?"
Of course, no matter whether it is simple or not, she must participate in this variety show.
Many resources that are much worse than this require a more "difficult" way of striving for them, and even kneeling down is not an option. How difficult can it be to participate in a variety show?
Yang Ruoqian was so scheming that he actually used this kind of resources to seduce these celebrities! The evil of human nature is so great! Thinking of this, Feng Luo urged: "Hurry up, what if it's too late and Mr. Yang doesn't want me anymore?"
"Ah, Sister Feng, it's probably a variety show similar to the escape room type. It has some scary elements, but not too many." The assistant glanced at the email and made a confident judgment.
"Escape room? Scary?" Feng Luo frowned. "This thing shouldn't be particularly scary, right? I'm timid."
Escape room, escape, these two words don't sound very harmonious.
The combination is even more creepy.
What if she doesn't perform well in this terrifying environment and doesn't get first place? If Feng Luo and a few friends go out to play together, it's fine. Playing the escape room alone is a horror game, playing with two is a normal game, and playing with three is a funny game... There is strength in numbers.
But this is a variety show with competition, and the guests are in a competitive relationship for resources. They are definitely not friends who can be trusted with your back.
Having to explore in a strange environment and being alert to teammates at all times, the psychological pressure is overwhelming.
The assistant glanced at the email again and said confidently, "Don't worry, Sister Feng. I've played this kind of project before. It's just a few ghost characters in a dark room to scare you. It's basically just playing house. It's not scary."
"That's fine." Feng Luo finally breathed a sigh of relief. "As long as it doesn't affect my normal performance, other people can't beat me in terms of emotional intelligence!"
The assistant continued to browse the emails, checking each message one by one: "Sister Feng, there is a disclaimer here. Do you want to see it? Or should you send it to our lawyer?"
Generally speaking, when most people register an account or sign a contract online, there will be a so-called "disclaimer agreement". In most cases, no one will panic and click to read it.
But for celebrities, they have to guard against such things.
It's not uncommon for people to tamper with contracts and cheat you out of your money, so you should always be on guard.
Even if there is a professional lawyer reviewing it, Feng Luo has developed the good habit of reading the contract himself before signing.
"Let me take a quick look first." Feng Luo took the phone and began to quickly scan those unimportant places. "Well... they are all good, not a rip-off. Mr. Yang is indeed a real person."
"It is also written in the contract that this is a horror variety show. People with heart disease, high blood pressure or any other medical history that cannot be frightened should not conceal their medical history and should not participate in this show."
"Otherwise, the consequences will be borne by Kuiguang Group, and the invited party will not bear any responsibility, and there is no...problem?"
Just when Feng Luo was about to skip this message subconsciously, she suddenly realized that something seemed to be wrong: "Wait?!"
She suddenly turned her eyes back and carefully read the "Disclaimer" three times.
If the invited party conceals the medical history, then the invited party will not bear any responsibility? Will Kuiguang Group bear it? ? Isn’t this the other way around?
Shouldn't the group bear no responsibility and the invitees bear the consequences themselves?
Could it be that the people in the legal department of Kuiguang Group made a careless mistake when drafting the contract?
Send them an email to help them correct their mistakes? No, that's not right!
This is a super lawyer team known as the "Golden Sea Pizza Hut" that can defeat Yuefu Group head-on and make the Yuefu Group's legal department give up the appeal.
Even if one lawyer accidentally made a mistake, other lawyers would surely be able to discover such an obvious sorting error during subsequent inspections!
Is there something mysterious hidden in this contract? !
Feng Luo knew that he would not be able to see anything with his level of expertise, so he did not dare to delay and quickly made a copy of the contract and sent it to his legal team.
Of course, the invitation from Kuiguang Group must also be accepted.
The assistant watched Feng Luo burst out with unprecedented initiative, and even completed many things that were originally supposed to be done by him. For a moment, she felt a little uncomfortable: "Sister Feng, where are we going now?"
"Where to go?" Feng Luo sneered, "Of course, to find the most difficult and highest-rated escape room in the local area!"
"If you want to win such an important resource, you must look further ahead and work harder!"
"Once I have played all the escape room games in Jinhai City, I will be able to easily complete this variety show!"
"Sister Feng, let's go to Kuiguang Group to finalize the contract first!"
…
The two wore masks and sunglasses and took a car to the downstairs of Kuiguang Building.
"The navigation system is updated quite quickly." Feng Luo glanced at his phone. "It was previously called Shengjing Haoyuan, but now it has been renamed."
"Sister Feng, there seems to be a traffic jam ahead." The assistant looked ahead for a few seconds and asked, "Should we wait or park nearby and walk over?"
"Let's park nearby." Feng Luo thought for a moment, "It's not too far anyway."
A few minutes later, the two quickly parked the car and walked to the downstairs of the building.
What caught my eye was a sea of people, most of them were in high spirits and dressed in suits, a few of them wearing sunglasses and large masks looked familiar and a little suspicious.
And all these people are heading to the same place - Kuiguang Building.
"What's going on? Why are there so many people?" Feng Luo was stunned. "This elevator is going to be crowded to death, right?"
"Kuiguang Group bought the entire building and is going to host a large-scale variety show, so they will definitely have to hire a lot of people." The assistant sighed, "Even if the variety show only hires a small number of regular employees and most of them are contract workers, it can't stop many people from trying their luck."
After all, the Kuiguang Group usually recruits too few people, and almost all resumes submitted will only receive rejection letters.
Only when you encounter a big project will there be more hope.
"There are people from all over the country..." As a first-line actress, Feng Luo has never known what queuing means. Looking at the long queue at the entrance of the building, she couldn't help but frowned, "Is there a special employee elevator or VIP elevator? How long will it take to queue like this?"
Suddenly a voice came from behind them: "You can take the employee elevator if you have an employee card."
Feng Luo was stunned by the sudden interruption and quickly turned his head away.
Innocent face, perfect body...Shang Qianyu!
With a large bag of milk tea in his hand, he took two steps forward with some difficulty.
Feng Luo instantly felt like he was facing a formidable enemy, and asked in the most vigilant tone: "Shang, Shang Qianyu?"
Shang Qianyu nodded, then suddenly hissed and asked uncertainly, "You...you, are you Feng Luo?"
"You can see this?!" Feng Luo was shocked again.
Shang Qianyu put the milk tea on the ground and took two deep breaths. "To be honest, this thing is useless. I get recognized every time. I just don't wear it anymore. By the way, have you been signed by the boss? Why are you here?"
Feng Luo didn't quite understand why he was standing here and talking to his competitor about these inexplicable things, but he still answered subconsciously: "I'm here to sign the contract. Didn't you guys organize a variety show recently?"
"Oh... that means the contract hasn't been signed yet. We can only queue up and can't use the employee passage." Shang Qianyu sighed regretfully and was about to leave with the big bag of milk tea.
Today, when Shang Qianyu was slacking off and going out to buy something, she suddenly had an idea and wanted to bring some milk tea to the people in the office, but she overestimated her physical strength, so she became what she is now.
She could have ordered takeout, why did she forget it then? Just when Feng Luo and the assistant were dumbfounded, Shang Qianyu suddenly turned around, holding her chin with her hands, and said uncertainly: "Oh, by the way... There are eight elevators in the building, one for employees and one for takeout."
"If you guys help me carry the milk tea up, can we go through the takeaway lane?"
"Wouldn't it be better if we didn't have to queue up?"
Feng Luo was stunned: "You...you want us to deliver food?"
She is a top actress, but one day she has to fall to the point of delivering takeout food?
No, no, how could she be confused... Why is Shang Qianyu, the pillar of Kuiguang Group, delivering food? "No." Shang Qianyu corrected the grammatical error seriously and handed over most of the milk tea in his hand, "I'm going through the takeaway channel."
Feng Luo really wanted to refuse righteously and, as a person with experience, teach Shang Qianyu, his junior, a lesson.
But after seeing the long dragon, she swallowed her irrational words.
After hesitating for a long time, Feng Luo took the milk tea from Shang Qianyu with an awkward look on his face, and walked into the takeaway elevator under the strange gazes of countless people... (End of this chapter)
