Anyone who wants to survive in the entertainment industry must have a heart of steel and know how to resolve problems on their own. Those who complain about themselves every day and cannot control their temper because of what others say will eventually be eliminated.
Zhou Xintang did a great job in this regard. He is a good actor and a qualified star.
But a kind word can warm you through three winter months, while a harsh word can hurt you through six months of summer. People are all made of flesh and blood, so how can we not be sad because of those harsh words? The only thing we can do is to keep telling ourselves not to care.
Lin Su doesn't care what kind of grievances others suffer, but the person he likes now cannot suffer this grievance in vain. Even if he is grateful for his recognition, ten years is enough.
Lin Su patted his head naturally and said, "It's almost time for lunch. What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."
If someone else did this, Zhou Xintang would have gone up and twisted his skull off, but Lin Su did it so naturally that it seemed like a matter of course. Not only did he not resist, but he felt like he was being coaxed like a child.
Who is older?
"You will do whatever I say?" Zhou Xintang expressed his disbelief.
"Try it, and if it doesn't work, order takeout." Lin Su rolled up his sleeves as if he was used to it, revealing his strong arms.
Zhou Xintang said with a hint of sarcasm: "You really don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are until you manage the household. I don't have a job now. If I can't pay you, we'll both be starving."
"It doesn't matter. If it really comes to that, I won't let you starve even if I have to carry bricks," Lin Su said with a smile as he stood up. "Two steamed buns a day will definitely keep you full."
Zhou Xintang laughed sincerely this time: "Go cook your meal. If it's not tasty, I'll make you hungry."
"Understood, sir," Lin Su poked his head out from the kitchen and gestured with two fingers put together.
Zhou Xintang bought his own house, which is quite large, but a bit empty and deserted. The kitchen is fully equipped, but from some of the unopened kitchen utensils, it can be seen that this movie star can only cook instant noodles when he is hungry alone.
He is not in a good mood now. Lin Su has no intention of making anything too greasy. At this time, the more refreshing and sweet the food is, the more it can arouse people's emotions.
Zhou Xintang was already prepared to lose weight if the food didn't taste good, but when Lin Su brought the plate to the table, he felt that at least the appearance was very attractive.
He has a talent for cooking, and the food looks very nice, but the taste... he himself can't bring himself to eat it.
Even though he had doubts, Zhou Xintang still took a bite of the dessert out of courtesy. It had a jelly-like texture with a hint of caramel, sweet but not greasy.
What surprised him was not only the taste but also the extremely familiar feeling. He tried the seemingly simple fried rice again, not believing it. Various vegetables were blended into it without conflict, leaving only an extremely refreshing feeling. It stimulated his appetite and made him certain of one thing.
"Did you make the lunch boxes you prepared for me before?" Zhou Xintang's work is irregular. There are many times when he doesn't have time to eat the crew's boxed lunches. It is difficult to eat after missing the meal time. Before Lin Su came, he just endured it and his stomach was not in good condition.
After Lin Su came, there was always food prepared for him in the car, as well as heating tools. The food tasted so good that he asked Lin Su where he bought it many times but to no avail. Unexpectedly, he found the answer today.
"This is the assistant's job," Lin Su said with a smile.
"How can there be an assistant who specializes in cooking?" Zhou Xintang felt a little touched.
There are many people on the Internet who care about him, ask about his well-being and even send him gifts, but Lin Su is the first one who really takes care of his food, clothing, housing and transportation and does everything according to his wishes.
"Isn't it my job to take good care of you?" Lin Su asked back.
Zhou Xintang laughed out loud: "You are so smart, you will never have trouble finding a wife in the future."
"Brother Zhou, I'm still young, there's no need to rush," Lin Su brought out his own portion.
The two of them ate in silence, with only the occasional clash of dishes, but there was a feeling of peace and tranquility.
The popularity on the Internet has not yet died down, and Zhou Xintang has received many signing invitations from entertainment companies. Just looking at the contracts, it seems that they are indeed sincere. However, in Lin Su's opinion, Zhou Xintang may not be freer after signing the contract.
"Which one do you think is better?" Zhou Xintang felt that he was somewhat accustomed to asking Lin Su's opinion.
Having left the past behind, now only Lin Su is by his side. He used to doubt Lin Su's business ability, but now he feels that it is a waste of Lin Su's talent to be just an agent.
"Have you ever considered setting up your own studio?" Lin Su asked.
According to Zhou Xintang's personality and goals, it would be best for him to completely break away from the entertainment company and make his own decisions.
Zhou Xintang didn't answer, but instead asked, "Do you know why artists want to sign with big companies?"
"Because they have great resources and promotion, they have enough connections and the ability to suppress those rumors and slanders," Lin Su only answered a few questions. A large company's PR and resources are not comparable to a personal studio, but the advantage of a studio is that it only serves one person. "I just want to ask, do you want to do it?"
Zhou Xintang would never have considered such a risky suggestion from a twenty-year-old before, but now his mind was filled with only one word: "Think!"
"Then leave it to me," when Lin Su said this, Zhou Xintang inexplicably felt that his heart, which had been hanging in the air, was put back into his chest.
He felt that he was a little crazy, but he didn't want to stop in his heart. He had made too many compromises in his life, and this time he wanted to really try it for himself.
Zhou Xintang's savings are considered high among celebrities. After all, in addition to his film remuneration, he also invests in many industries. However, it is a very risky move to spend tens of millions to set up a studio at once.
Kangshang Entertainment is as busy as ever, and several senior executives rarely gather in the conference room to discuss issues concerning Zhou Xintang.
Zhou Xintang has been signed to Kang Shang for ten years. Although his status in the entertainment industry is not at its peak, his fan base is very strong. If he had not been too stubborn in his requirements for works and repeatedly refused the works arranged by the company, what happened today would not have happened.
Would Kang Shang let this cultivated cash cow run away easily? Of course not, it is the nature of businessmen to pursue profit.
Zhao Yan reported his suggestions for this work: "Kang Shang has already contacted other companies. Those companies will not rashly offend Kang Shang and sign a contract with Zhou Xintang. Xi's top player has always been overshadowed by Xintang, and their types clash, so they are even less likely to poach him. If we put a little more pressure on him, he will not be as willful as before after signing the contract."
Although Kang Shang was not omnipotent in the entertainment industry, he was not someone that could be easily offended. The senior management was quite satisfied with Zhao Yan's suggestions and explanations: "Just as you said..."
