Chapter 4 The Fallen Child Star 4

The latest episode of "Entertainment New World" began recording at eight o'clock in the evening.

At this time, there were still two hours before the recording started.

In the lounge, Xu Weiheng's agent was trying hard to apologize to the director, almost lowering his posture to the dust.

There was no way, he had no reputation in the industry, and he didn't have any particularly outstanding artists under him. The two million yuan in breach of contract was enough to drain all his savings over the years.

The director's face was very ugly, but things had come to this point. Xu Weiheng couldn't come, and the show had to be recorded. He could only think of ways to minimize the loss: "Regarding the fact that Xu Ji and Xu Yiyuan are biological father and son, how sure are you?"

The agent gritted his teeth and said, "Eighty percent!"

The agent has been thinking along the way.

Of course, he had no evidence to prove that Xu Ji and Xu Yiyuan were biological father and son, but as Xu Weiheng's agent, he had witnessed Xu Ji and Xu Yiyuan getting along with each other up close. That kind of interaction was too natural.

Some things have never been associated in that direction, but now that he thinks about it, the agent finds that Xu Ji and Xu Yiyuan's facial features are indeed very similar. The more the agent pondered, the more credible it seemed to him. "I see." The director stood up and walked out, "You'd better hope that this is true." The agent breathed a

sigh of relief. From what the director said, did he not have to pay the penalty? But he was only half relieved when the agent heard the second half of the director's words. "If this is true, you only need to pay two million. If this is not true, not only do you need to pay two million, but you also have no need to stay in this business. Star Language Media behind you can't protect you." The TV station is behind "Entertainment New World". It only takes a word to ban a small agent. Even Star Language Media will not give this face. The agent's eyes widened, his legs softened, and he collapsed directly on the sofa. Cold sweat crawled all over his back, and an emotion called "regret" grew wildly from the bottom of his heart. He had clearly promised to let Xu Weiheng rest for half a month, so why did he covet the money given by "Entertainment New World" and sign the contract without authorization... The director walked to the recording site and notified everyone to postpone the recording for an hour, and also called a temporary meeting with the program team. Xu Yiyuan was sitting in the studio, letting the makeup artist put powder on his face. From time to time, he looked in the direction of the director and them, and said impatiently: "Why is the recording suddenly postponed?" Xu Ji straightened his tie, pointed at Xu Yiyuan, and scolded with a smile: "You, when will you change your impatient temper?" "Dad, I'm just worried that I'll go home late, and Mom is worried about us?" Xu Yiyuan defended himself, looked around, and said casually, "Xu Weiheng hasn't arrived yet. Is he late?" If Xu Yiyuan hadn't brought it up, Xu Ji really wouldn't have noticed. Xu Ji's face suddenly darkened, and he said with dissatisfaction: "Why, isn't it enough that he acts like a big shot in the crew, and now he wants to act like a big shot on me?" Seeing Xu Ji angry, Xu Yiyuan quickly made a joke and made Xu Ji laugh, and the anger that had arisen because of Xu Weiheng was also thrown behind his mind. Director Chen sat aside, wondering: the relationship between this family is really too strange, the biological father and son get along like enemies, but the stepfather and stepson are as close as a family. But Director Chen didn't meddle in other people's business. He rarely appears on variety shows, and this time he came here specially just to show his magnanimity, "forgive" Xu Weiheng's youthful frivolity, and give the young man a chance to start over. In fact, Director Chen does not dislike Xu Weiheng, otherwise he would not have invited Xu Weiheng to participate in "2050Ⅱ". Xu Weiheng was a child star he discovered. He always regarded him as his mentor. He always called him "Teacher Chen" respectfully and visited him every year and festival. But unfortunately, "2050Ⅱ" was too successful. The movie "2050" was called "the beginning of an era of Chinese apocalyptic disaster movies" by netizens, and became the white moonlight in the minds of countless netizens. Therefore, as soon as "2050Ⅱ" was established, it received countless attentions and easily attracted 300 million yuan in investment. But what followed was the box office of 160 million on the first day, and the box office on the second day slid to 80 million like a slippery slope, and the box office on the third day was less than 40 million. The professional website rating dropped from 4.2 to 3.4. Netizens joked that "the era opened by "2050" was ruined by "2050Ⅱ". It can be said that someone must stand up and take responsibility for the overall failure of this movie. Therefore, Xu Weiheng, who was flawed, became the best person to attract public attention. "Three teachers, we can start recording, are you ready?" The director walked over with a smile and clapped his hands to attract the attention of Director Chen and others. Xu Yiyuan was startled and asked subconsciously: "Is Xu Weiheng not coming?" The director looked at Xu Yiyuan with a strange look: "Yes, he won't come." Xu Ji said unhappily: "That rebellious son is throwing a tantrum. Director, I'm going to call that rebellious son now and ask him to come over and apologize to everyone." If this happened at Xu's house, Xu Ji would have cursed loudly. It was only in public that he restrained himself a little. But even so, he still called him a rebellious son. The director's expression became more and more strange. Not only him, but other people in the program team also had different expressions. When they didn't know that Xu Ji and Xu Yiyuan were related by blood, they thought that Xu Ji's approach of helping the wise instead of helping the relatives was very righteous. But now that they know the inside story, they start to feel disgusted when they see Xu Ji's behavior, and even feel a little sympathy for Xu Weiheng. What kind of father is this stall? "No, Xu Weiheng can come if he doesn't want to." The director smiled slightly, "But in this case, we have to change the recording method. I wonder what the three teachers think?" After the communication just now from the program group, the director and others decided to make this program into an interview program, specifically talking about Xu Ji and Xu Yiyuan. The more "father-son love" they show, the more intense the shock will be when this program is broadcast. ***

After Xu Weiheng cried bitterly, the system reminded Yao Rong that his self-destruction value had dropped to 85.

Yao Rong took a set of clothes from the luggage bag and asked Xu Weiheng if he could use the skin care products he had placed on the sink.

Since her divorce from Xu Ji, Yao Rong began to pay less attention to her skin care, no longer dressed herself up, and made her life a mess.

But what else can this attitude towards life bring except making her loved ones sad and her enemies happy?

Yao Rong not only wants to save Xu Weiheng's life, but also make her own life better.

She hopes that Xu Weiheng has the courage and faith to stand up again, hopes that Xu Weiheng can find the direction to start again, and hopes that Xu Weiheng can live an open and aboveboard life. First of all, she must stand up again and set an example for Xu Weiheng with her own changes.

After taking a shower and applying full care to herself, Yao Rong walked back to the study room and found a brand new set of skin care products on the table.

This set of skin care products is more suitable for her skin than the one in the sink and meets her needs better.

Yao Rong smiled slightly and knocked on the door of Xu Weiheng's bedroom.

"What's the matter?" Xu Weiheng's voice came from inside.

"Nothing, I just want to tell you that I really like the skin care products you prepared for me."

"...This is a gift from the brand, not prepared by me."

There was a bit of awkwardness in the boy's voice. Yao Rong smiled and continued, "Then I also benefited from you."

Hearing Yao Rong say this, Xu Weiheng actually felt a little proud.

Immediately, he reacted and despised himself.

What's there to be proud of?

"When you're done, get more from me." Xu Weiheng lied with his eyes wide open, "I still have a lot."

Yao Rong didn't believe him. He's only been in the industry for two years and doesn't have any representative works. It's already the best that the brand can give him a set of products.

But she still smiled and said with a little teasing, "How generous."

After saying goodnight to Xu Weiheng, Yao Rong returned to the room and heard the system say that all the evidence had been sent to the male artist.

Yao Rong asked, "Have you cleaned up the mess?"

The system said, [Don't worry, with the technology of this world, you can't trace it back to me.]

Yao Rong thought for a moment and asked, "Has he received the file now?"

[It was received ten minutes ago and is being checked. It will probably take some time to prove the authenticity of the data. 】

"That's good. Let me know when he reports it."

The next day, Yao Rong woke up at daybreak.

She changed into light clothes and ran around the community.

Her physical condition was not very good, and after running only two laps, Yao Rong began to feel tired.

She readjusted her breathing and rhythm, and ran five laps before stopping. She went to the breakfast shop to buy two breakfasts to take home.

Xu Weiheng had woken up.

He cried so hard last night that his eyes were still very red and swollen after a night.

Yao Rong was afraid that he would be embarrassed, so she tried not to laugh out loud, but her voice still revealed a bit of laughter: "I just bought some eggs, they are still hot, you can roll them around your eyes, and the swelling will soon go away."

Xu Weiheng: "..."

He tried to keep a straight face and be serious, but his ears still blushed for a moment.

In order to divert Yao Rong's attention, Xu Weiheng asked: "What is the contact information of the lawyer you mentioned last night?"

"Have you decided to terminate the contract?"

"Yes."

Yao Rong tried to test: "Are you willing to meet him and communicate with him face to face? If not, we can take a photo of the contract and send it to him."

Seeing Xu Weiheng nod, Yao Rong's eyes lit up.

Willing to communicate with outsiders and willing to take the initiative to solve his own predicament, this shows that things are moving in a good direction little by little.

***

After returning home from the filming site of "Entertainment New World", the agent had a sleepless night.

At first, he regretted that he had breached the agreement and ripped off Xu Weiheng.

But this morning, the CEO of Star Language Media called him.

On the phone, the CEO of Star Language Media informed him coldly: "The director of "Entertainment New World" called me. You have to deal with the penalty yourself. You are Xu Weiheng's agent. If you can't even make him listen to you, you don't have to come to work tomorrow."

After that, he hung up the phone.

Not only did he have to pay two million, but he was also likely to lose his job. The agent didn't dare to hate the director of "Entertainment New World" or the company's CEO, so he took his anger out on Xu Weiheng.

If Xu Weiheng had not refused to participate in the variety show recording, how could he have fallen to this point!

Anger filled the agent's mind. He drove his car and rushed to Xu Weiheng's apartment again. He subconsciously wanted to take out the key from his bag, but then he remembered that the key had been stolen, so he had to slam the security door.

"Xu Weiheng, open the door!"

"Open it quickly, I know you are in the room!"

Just as he was about to kick the door, the door was opened from the inside.

Standing behind the door was a middle-aged man in a suit and gold-rimmed glasses: "Are you Mr. Xu's agent?"

After being thrown out by Yao Rong, the agent was very wary of strangers who appeared in Xu Weiheng's home.

But soon, the resentment towards Xu Weiheng took over again.

The agent shouted, "I am his agent, who are you? Call him out to me, he violated the terms of the contract, I will make him pay!"

"I am the lawyer hired by Mr. Xu, my surname is Zhou. You can just communicate with me about the contract, don't disturb Mr. Xu's rest."

The agent frowned, not expecting Xu Weiheng to have already hired a lawyer. He ignored the lawyer's words, and pushed the lawyer forward with both hands to break in.

When he finally broke into the room, he was facing Yao Rong who was recording with a mobile phone.

Yao Rong saved the video and said to Lawyer Zhou, "Lawyer Zhou, this man broke into my house and disturbed my son and I. I have the video as evidence. Please help me call the police when you leave."

Lawyer Zhou nodded: "Ms. Yao, rest assured, I will take care of these matters."

The agent sneered. He has been in the entertainment industry for so long that he would not be scared by such a small talk.

"This is not trespassing. Don't be ridiculous. Even if you call the police now, they will tend to let us settle."

However, after being interrupted by Lawyer Zhou and Yao Rong, the agent's momentum to accuse was indeed weakened a lot.

But thinking of the two million and his job, the agent's chest was filled with anger again. He turned his head to look at Xu Weiheng and cursed: "It's all your fault. Not only am I burdened with a two million yuan compensation, but I also lost my job. You are not doing well, so you don't want me to be well, right!"

The agent was so angry that he rushed towards Xu Weiheng: "I tell you, if you don't compensate me for this loss, I will make your situation even worse! Don't think that you can use these two helpers!"

But before he rushed to Xu Weiheng, he was tripped by Yao Rong's outstretched foot, and his limbs fell heavily to the ground, and he cried out in pain.

Xu Weiheng looked down at the agent who was strong in appearance but weak in heart.

At this moment, he suddenly realized clearly that the agent he had thought was strong and indomitable was actually just a coward.

The agent was able to control him and oppress him not because the agent was so powerful, but because he himself did not stand up and did not have enough courage to resist injustice.

The agent became more and more angry when Xu Weiheng looked at him, and said fiercely: "What is that look in your eyes? Are you pitying me? Looking down on me? Don't think you are great just because you have a lawyer. It's not that easy to terminate the contract! Just wait and see, don't think I don't know how much money you have. Even if you take out all your money, you can't afford the penalty for breach of contract with the company. If you make me suffer, I will never let you go!"

But the agent was disappointed.

Xu Weiheng, who had always been submissive, actually spoke up and refuted him this time.

"Before you let me go, you'd better worry about how to compensate your two million. You can't even protect yourself, so don't bother worrying about me."

As he said that, Xu Weiheng looked up at Yao Rong, as if he wanted to draw courage from her.

Yao Rong looked at him with encouragement, nodded at him, and motioned him to continue.

Xu Weiheng took a deep breath and took out the recording pen from his sweater pocket.

This was bought by Yao Rong specifically for Xu Weiheng. She told him that if he met someone from the brokerage company in the future, he should turn on the recording immediately, this is to protect himself.

He would not deliberately hurt anyone, but in this circle, he must also have a sense of self-protection and can no longer sit idly by and watch others hurt him.

"Don't even think about threatening me. I have recorded everything you just said. If there are new rumors about me on the Internet, I will immediately assume that you are the one who spread them."

"Anyway, my situation is already so bad, it can't get any worse. If you want to continue to fight with me, then I will definitely accompany you to the end!"

The agent was calmed by Xu Weiheng's words, and his brain, which was filled with anger, also regained a bit of clarity, and his rationality began to return gradually.

He intuitively realized one thing: Xu Weiheng is not the same as before. The previous Xu Weiheng

could be manipulated by him, but the current Xu Weiheng, perhaps broken jar, is no longer as cautious as before, and has become harder to manipulate.

"Okay, you wait for me!"

After saying this harshly, the agent got up from the ground, and without even having time to brush off the dust on his knees, he ran out of the house in a panic.
