An hour ago.
As the ace agent of Starlight Media, Jiang Ying has a very large office, which highlights his extraordinary status.
If someone had passed by the door just now, they would probably have heard the sound of arguing inside.
"I want to go see him alone." Helian Bei's attitude was very firm.
Jiang Ying knew Helian Bei too well, and what he said meant that there was no room for negotiation.
If it were in the past, Jiang Ying would not care about Helian Bei's private life.
But recently Jiang Ying has increasingly discovered that Helian Bei seems to be becoming more and more disobedient, which makes him feel out of control. Jiang Ying hates this feeling.
"What would you do if he said something to you that irritated you?" Jiang Ying asked back.
Helian Bei shrugged. "I've taken medicine, and I'm very stable now. He also said he wants to understand me. I think with you around, I might not be able to show my true self."
Jiang Ying paused, the hesitation lasting only a few seconds. "Alright, be careful. Zhou Yiyang isn't a good person."
The "big villain" Zhou Yiyang immediately stood up and shook hands with Helian Bei.
Helian Bei was a little surprised. His identity allowed him to come into contact with almost all the entertainment company bosses in China, but no one was as approachable as Zhou Yiyang.
It has to be said that Zhou Yiyang made Helian Bei relax.
"You seem to be in a good mood." Zhou Yiyang asked for a menu. "I ordered two cups of coffee as recommended by the waiter, and added a plate of red velvet cake. Is there anything you like?"
"No, I'm fine with anything." Helian Bei politely rejected Zhou Yiyang, then quickly withdrew his hand and put it in his trouser pocket.
This subtle little action means that he is a very insecure person.
This character setting is not right!
"I've been writing this song for almost a month. Every day I ask myself, if I become successful and want to make a comeback, what song should I sing?"
Helian Bei shook his head quickly. "Mr. Zhou, you're joking. I'm not someone who has achieved success or fame. I was just planning to sing a song, but Jiang Ying insisted on a sense of ceremony."
"You have to understand Jiang Ying," Zhou Yiyang said, truly unconventionally. Far from alienating her, he actually praised her. "He cares about you so much that he wants your comeback single to be perfect. If I were your manager, I'd do the same."
"I don't think so." However, Helian Bei disagreed with Zhou Yiyang's point of view: "Jiang Ying did this just because he didn't want to waste my popularity. In fact, I'm not short of money at all. If it were you, I think you would respect my wishes."
"Haha," Zhou Yiyang couldn't help but laugh. "Have you read some gossip? Why do you have such a thick filter for me? I'm also a businessman, not a philanthropist. So how did you finally agree to do this?"
"Just, give back to the fans!" Helian Bei said this sincerely: "I haven't sung for many years, but after my performance last year, I saw many fans online who were still supporting me. Many of them have been listening to my songs since they were in school, and now they are still my fans after starting their own families and careers.
I suddenly felt that if I hadn’t released any new songs for so long, they would surely be tired of listening to them! That’s why I agreed to Jiang Ying’s suggestion.”
Zhou Yiyang got the answer he wanted, and then said seriously: "That's good. I think you should be the best singer for my song."
"Can I see the lyrics?" Helian Bei asked.
"Of course you can," Zhou Yiyang joked, "You paid for it. In business terms, you are God."
Then Zhou Yiyang took out the printed lyrics and music score from his bag and handed them to Helian Bei.
Helian Bei first took a look at the title of the song. For some reason, his eyes became moist when he saw the name.
"It's a very meaningful name for everyone who knows my name." Helian Bei raised his head. He didn't look at Zhou Yiyang, but turned his head to look at a wax figure not far away.
That was his first role after he became an actor.
To be honest, the quality of that movie was actually very average. If he hadn't been so popular at the time, the box office wouldn't have been so high.
However, in this movie, Helian Bei contributed a classic film and television image.
And now, several little girls are taking pictures next to the wax figure.
They certainly couldn't guess that the man drinking coffee not far away was the actor of this wax figure.
"Since my debut, many people have envied me and said that I have been so successful." Helian Bei didn't know why he suddenly had the urge to talk.
Perhaps this song was like a bond that brought him and Zhou Yiyang closer together.
Maybe Zhou Yiyang is the one who understands him.
"But in fact, I have experienced a lot of past that I can't bear to look back on," Helian Bei said in a light tone, as if he was telling someone else's story: "After I became famous, I was very happy. I thought I had really broken away from who I used to be.
Many people don't understand why, after becoming famous, I still work so hard on acting and maintaining my exposure instead of enjoying life. They don't know that I'm afraid of returning to the past when I had nothing.
This state lasted for about five years, and then I found that I had really stabilized and gradually became desensitized."
"So after that," Zhou Yiyang had read a lot of news about Helian Bei and naturally knew his career history, "your development slowed down, and you became much more cautious about accepting roles."
"Yes," Helian Bei said, having unknowingly finished a cup of coffee, even though he had previously thought the coffee in this shop was terrible. "I thought I would be like most veteran artists, retiring at the peak of my career, shooting some works that interest me, and ultimately pursuing other meanings in life."
Obviously, Helian Bei's dream did not come true.
"But..." When Helian Bei said this, Zhou Yiyang couldn't help but lean forward.
Unexpectedly, Helian Bei seemed to wake up and interrupted his recollection: "Mr. Zhou, I'm sorry, my old habit of talking to myself has come back again. Thank you for listening to my nonsense for so long. I like this song very much. Can you come to be my guest when I sing it for the first time?"
"Of course." Zhou Yiyang agreed and watched Helian Bei get up and leave. At this moment, he suddenly noticed that Helian Bei breathed a sigh of relief and revealed an expression of relief.
"Wait," Zhou Yiyang cursed himself for being nosy, but still said, "Add me on WeChat! I actually really like your story. If you can't find anyone to tell it to, you can come find me."
