Chapter 776 Her heart fluttered with a bittersweet sense of inferiority.
The person who called Le Yan was indeed Yao Jia, the new agent that Huanxing had arranged for her.
Yao Jia said that Le Yan should come to the company tomorrow to meet the members of their new team and have a meeting to make detailed plans for Le Yan's future acting career.
The call was brief. After hanging up, Le Yan realized that Fu Nian'an had been standing at the door the whole time.
When she looked up and met Fu Nian'an's gaze, Fu Nian'an spoke first: "Was that a call from your new agent?"
"Okay." Le Yan nodded. "Let me go to Huanxing for a meeting tomorrow."
Fu Nian'an raised an eyebrow: "Isn't this a good thing? Why do you look unhappy?"
"I'm not unhappy, just a little..." Le Yan sighed softly, "I'm a little lost. I've been a couch potato for too long, and suddenly I'm in a job, so I'm a little nervous!"
Fu Nian'an chuckled softly and said, "Come out with me."
Le Yan walked out of the kitchen and followed Fu Nian'an to the balcony.
Although it's called a balcony, it's actually a fully enclosed viewing platform.
The two stood side by side, looking down at the city's night view.
Le Yan's house has the same layout as Fu Nian'an's, but her balcony is not fully enclosed. She likes flowers and plants, so she deliberately made the balcony semi-enclosed to make it easier to grow flowers and plants.
However, because she is too lazy, she only has a few potted plants left that are alive!
Fu Nian'an's observation deck was very simple, with a tea table, a bookshelf, and a statue of a foreigner whose name Le Yan couldn't recall...
In short, the same apartment layout, but with polarized styles.
One is a minimalist, domineering CEO style; the other is a mixed-style, girly look...
Le Yan decided to go back tonight and drag Lin Xiangyu down with her for the first time!
"What are you thinking about now?"
A deep male voice came from above.
Le Yan slightly raised her chin and turned her head to look at him.
Fu Nian'an lowered her eyes, looking at her blank face, "Are you thinking about how to negotiate with your new employer tomorrow?"
Le Yan: "...Ah, well, I hadn't thought of that."
Fu Nian'an: "..."
“However…” Le Yan looked at Fu Nian’an and suddenly asked, “Mr. Fu, do you really think I’m suited for the entertainment industry?”
Fu Nian'an hadn't expected her to ask that suddenly, and raised an eyebrow slightly: "You want to hear the truth?"
Le Yan nodded, her face firm: "Don't worry, just tell the truth. I have a very good attitude!"
Fu Nian'an smiled, "In terms of image, you are certainly very suitable for the entertainment industry, but in other aspects..."
The man pondered for a moment, seemingly after careful consideration, before speaking again: "I'm sorry, but in my opinion, even celebrities need to have a skill. If you only have a pretty face, then to the audience you're just a beautiful object. In other words, the audience might appreciate your beauty, but they won't respect you. After all, people don't empathize with objects."
Le Yan's expression froze, then slowly cracked: "...Actually, you could have been a little more tactful..."
Sob sob sob, if she were any more emotionally fragile, she definitely would have burst into tears by now!
Fu Nian'an loved watching her ever-changing, wonderful little expressions.
After admiring you for a while, he spoke again: "I know you have high standards for yourself. I have investigated you and know that you actually have a certain talent in acting. You were able to appear in Director Qiu's film at the age of thirteen and even won the Best Newcomer Award. This is not something that can be achieved by luck and hard work alone. Talent is the most precious gift that God has given to mankind, but not everyone can have this gift."
Le Yan stared blankly at Fu Nian'an.
No one had ever said such a thing to her before.
She became famous overnight at the age of thirteen with a movie, and suddenly gained a lot of attention.
Her appearance became her original sin, and doubts and slanders rained down on her as she became famous overnight!
But she was too young, and she was completely overwhelmed by the sounds. Helpless and frightened, she sought help from Lin Xiuying, but was stunned by a slap from Lin Xiuying.
Lin Xiuying scolded her for being spineless, told her to stop crying and cooperate with the publicity work, and forbade her to shed tears in front of others. If she couldn't hold back, Lin Xiuying would give her a severe beating when she got home.
Before reaching adulthood, every activity that required a guardian to accompany the child was accompanied by Lin Xiuying's ruthless and cold beatings and scoldings.
Compared to Lin Xiuying's beatings and verbal abuse, the netizens' doubts and insults seem insignificant.
Looking back now, Le Yan feels that Lin Xiuying deserves a first-class merit for being able to persevere under Xing Zheng's deliberate suppression all these years!
Le Yan snapped out of her thoughts and looked up at the man beside her.
“Mr. Fu, I just like performing.” Le Yan looked at Fu Nian’an and finally said what she had wanted to say since she was thirteen, but had never been able to or dared to say: “But I don’t like the entertainment industry.”
Upon hearing this, Fu Nian'an smiled slightly and said, "Then I suggest you try returning to the original stage and rediscover your original aspirations."
As Le Yan looked at Fu Nian'an, the fog in her heart gradually dissipated.
She thought, she knows what she has to do!
Le Yan looked at Fu Nian'an, and at that moment, she saw that Fu Nian'an in her eyes was radiating light!
Perhaps her fortune teller really was right.
At 23, she met Fu Nian'an, and her life started to improve day by day.
However, the fortune teller only said that she would meet a benefactor at the age of 23, but did not say whether she could like this benefactor.
Le Yan knew she shouldn't harbor any illusions about Fu Nian'an; the difference between them was like heaven and earth.
How could a mere illegitimate daughter who never even went to university be worthy of liking the noble Mr. Fu?
23-year-old Leyan experienced the thrill of falling in love for the first time, but this feeling was mixed with the bitterness of inferiority.
She knew this should remain her secret.
A secret she needs to work hard to hide!
…
The next day, Le Yan took Lin Xiangyu in her little Wuling van to Huanxing.
Yao Jia and Chi Guo'er greeted Le Yan with their new team and introduced them one by one.
What followed was a meeting that lasted for more than two hours!
Given Le Yan's current popularity, as long as her team positions her properly and she takes on a few big-budget films, it's not impossible for her to pursue a career in big-screen acting. However, the operating costs would be relatively high, since she was previously embroiled in scandals within the industry, and audience appeal is what investors value most.
But none of this matters to Huanxing. As long as Leyan takes every resource seriously, Huanxing will surely pave a dazzling road to stardom for her!
However, Le Yan proposed to start from the most original stage, an idea that surprised both Chi Guo'er and Yao Jia.
Le Yan's attitude was firm, so Chi Guo'er could only call Shen Qingshu.
Shen Qingshu agreed without hesitation, and even said that she would personally find a reliable teacher for Le Yan so that Le Yan could receive closed-door one-on-one training.
Since Shen Qingshu had said so, Chi Guo'er and Yao Jia had no choice but to comply.
...
After hanging up the phone, Shen Qingshu looked at Fu Nian'an sitting on the sofa opposite her. "How is it? Is Mom's arrangement appropriate?"
“Mother is always reliable in her work,” Fu Nian’an said, standing up. “However, you and Xiao Ning need to keep your disguises on, or you might scare the little girl away if you take them off too early.”
Shen Qingshu: "..."
