As expected, He Ci received a message from the magazine.
Besides Jiang Jueming and Li Yanxiao, who were originally selected, the magazine has tentatively decided that Cen Yu will be the third candidate.
Perhaps they were drawn to the popularity of Cen Yu and Mu Fengyin, or perhaps they had some other considerations.
He Ci sat in his office, leaning back in his chair, deep in thought. Just half an hour earlier, Mu Fengyin's agent had contacted him, saying that the agent was interested in inviting Cen Yu to be a guest on his variety show.
Although Mu Fengyin is currently having a conflict with the company over whether or not to renew his contract.
However, as the biggest star under his management, Zhang Jun would not resort to tricks on something so easily exposed, so although he was puzzled, he still made contact with He Ci.
At the same time, the implication was that he wanted to find out if He Ci's company was planning to poach him.
In fact, He Ci's company had this idea.
However, they also realized that unless they showed enough sincerity, Mu Fengyin would not be interested in their company. After all, the other party's commercial value was over 100 million. Rather than letting the company take a cut, they might as well set up their own personal studio.
Most of the brands that partner with him because of his commercial value are also interested in him personally.
He Ci listened to Zhang Jun's probing on the other end of the phone, turned her chair, and looked at the floor-to-ceiling window behind her.
Yunxing has gathered almost half of the top artists in the entertainment industry.
As a senior executive and top agent of Yunxing, He Ci's office naturally had the best view... He looked out the floor-to-ceiling windows at the view of the huge poster of Mu Fengyin outside the luxury shopping mall below the office building.
After exchanging a few perfunctory pleasantries with Zhang Jun, he hung up the phone.
Lao Gao stayed in the office the whole time.
I was called to He Ci's office early this morning, but I didn't expect that He Ci would be on the phone as soon as I got there.
He was unsure of He Ci's intentions, so he could only sit in the other party's office and wait.
"What do you think of Cen Yu?" After hanging up the phone, He Ci turned his chair around and looked at Lao Gao.
Lao Gao hesitated for a few seconds, "...an artist with a very active mind."
“You can just say that his thought process is different from that of ordinary people,” He Ci said.
Old Gao thought to himself, "If you already know, why are you asking me?"
"Then do you think he's worth training?" He Ci asked again.
Old Gao had been instructed, so he knew that Mu Fengyin and Cen Yu had made contact and communicated with the magazine. He Ci hadn't kept it from him either, so he knew that the magazine had chosen Cen Yu as the third person to be featured on the cover.
From this perspective, Cen Yu has some luck.
When He Ci asked this, Lao Gao didn't quite understand his thoughts and could only tentatively say, "At least he's more worthy of being cultivated than a boring person."
For entertainers, especially those with high public exposure, something interesting is always better than something uninteresting.
Lao Gao knew that the company wasn't planning to put too much effort into this group. He didn't know if He Ci's question meant that he wanted to focus on developing Cen Yu, so he could only answer carefully.
He Ci didn't say anything, "Let's see where he is."
Lao Gao glanced at his phone. "It says it's in the building."
"Then why don't you come up?" He Ci looked at Lao Gao.
Old Gao glanced at the message and felt his blood pressure rise again.
"...I forgot my card, so I can't swipe it to go to the elevator." Old Gao didn't dare look at He Ci's face. "So he said he would climb the stairs himself."
He Ci sneered, "If there are any outdoor survival or military training variety shows coming up, don't look for anyone else. I think he's quite suitable."
...
As soon as Cen Yu opened the door to the emergency staircase, he saw He Ci standing beside it, clapping his hands three times expressionlessly.
"sharp."
"I came to the company to exercise."
Cen Yu had just climbed 30 floors in one go and was still panting. When He Ci mocked him, he immediately bowed politely.
"I wouldn't dare call myself the boss, you flatter me."
“I wasn’t praising you.” He Ci immediately turned around. “Come with me.”
Cen Yu took a deep breath and followed He Ci into the other party's office.
"Sit down." He Ci pointed to the seat in front of the desk.
"Forget it," Cen Yu said. "I just climbed up the stairs, let me stand here for a while."
He Ci took a deep breath and turned to look at Cen Yu, "What did you and Mu Fengyin discuss yesterday?"
Cen Yu thought for a second, "I sent him his manager's crazy quotes."
"continue."
"Then he said he wanted to recommend me as a guest on a variety show."
Why didn't you tell me?
"Didn't you find out today?" Cen Yu thought to herself, but on the surface she still said respectfully, "I thought Teacher Mu was joking."
"How could someone as obscure as me take this seriously, thinking I've actually made a fortune?"
He Ci knew he couldn't argue with Cen Yu, otherwise he would eventually be driven crazy by this person, so he simply said what he wanted to tell him directly, "The magazine has finalized the selection of the person to be on the cover."
He Ci stared at Cen Yu's face, not wanting to miss a single micro-expression.
He originally thought that Cen Yu would be secretly pleased, or at least overjoyed, upon hearing this news.
Unexpectedly, Cen Yu's expression immediately turned awkward.
……Awkward?
He Ci truly realized she couldn't understand Cen Yu anymore. "You don't want to be in a magazine?"
“…Hmm…” Cen Yu pondered how to put it, “…It’s not that I don’t want to go…”
"But I don't really want to be in a magazine."
He Ci summarized for Cen Yu, and said calmly, "What are your thoughts? Can you tell me about your brilliant idea?"
Cen Yu was too embarrassed to say it, worried that He Ci would faint if she heard his true thoughts.
He felt that once his scandals were exposed and his reputation collapsed, the fans who bought his magazines to boost sales would also suffer.
I wonder how long it will take to tear off the magazine cover!
Maybe we shouldn't have appeared in the magazine in the first place, otherwise it'll be exhausting to deal with the fans fighting each other.
“…I don’t think my fans have much money.” Cen Yu made up an excuse, “Let’s save them some money.”
“They’ll buy your e-magazine too,” He Ci said.
After all, magazines get them on the cover to boost sales, and they'll even create personal links for them to help drive sales.
"Well, I'll tell you the truth then!" Cen Yu looked at He Ci—
"You know that Jiang Jueming and Li Yanxiao have a lot of fans who ship them as a couple, right?"
He Ci frowned. Of course, he knew that in the fan economy, pairing celebrities with romantic subplots was nothing new, and as the two most popular pairings, Jiang Jueming and Li Yanxiao had a large number of fans, which He Ci naturally expected.
"What does this have to do with you not appearing in magazines?"
“I’m worried that their fans will gossip about me behind my back and call me the vixen and homewrecker who broke up their couple,” Cen Yu said casually. “I don’t want to break up a couple.”
He Ci looked at Cen Yu and suddenly smiled.
"Cen Yu."
"Don't give me any more nonsense."
"I can beat you up right now."
