The morning after moving, Gu Qingchi had to report to Xingyao Entertainment. Ye Li asked Gu Qingchi to arrive at his office at nine o'clock.
Gu Qingchi used to work either in the afternoon or at night. He was active at night and stayed at home during the day, synchronizing his schedule with Xiao Lihua. Both the man and the cat slept during the day.
Later he resigned and no longer had to work the night shift, but nothing changed. Gu Qingchi liked the night.
There are fewer people and it is quiet at night, while it is a bit too noisy for him during the day.
In a sense, the daily routine is actually very regular.
When he turned around suddenly, Gu Qingchi looked listless.
When he was going out, he stared at the little tabby cat that had been sleeping like a twist for a few seconds. He really wanted to wake it up and put it in his pocket. But in the end, he regretfully gave up the idea of waking it up to accompany him out.
Xingyao Entertainment has strict entry and exit management, and you need a work permit to enter and exit, this is to prevent paparazzi from sneaking in.
Ye Li gave his to Gu Qingchi yesterday. He is a veteran of Xingyao Entertainment and can enter by scanning his face.
Gu Qingchi obediently put his work ID around his neck and walked into the door of Xingyao Entertainment.
There were many people coming and going in the hall, including white-collar workers in suits and ties, as well as artists wearing sunglasses and masks and all wearing trendy brands.
It was rush hour and there were quite a few people waiting for the elevator. Gu Qingchi stood behind a group of people, waiting for the elevator.
Then there was a commotion at the door, with a lot of noise. The security guards rushed over to help stop the media reporters who were flocking in. Several staff members cleared the way and separated the people into two sides while apologizing.
"Excuse me, excuse me, it's a special situation, please lend me the way."
A man wearing a mask hurriedly walked along the cleared path in the middle surrounded by a crowd of people.
He was very tall, much taller than the other staff members surrounding him. His eyebrows and eyes were sharp, and he seemed to be in a bad mood, with a low pressure all over his body.
When he walked straight towards them, several people subconsciously took a few steps back.
The elevator had been stopped there for a while. He stepped in without even pausing. After pressing the floor button, he stood in the middle of the elevator with a stern face. The staff also hurriedly followed him in and stood behind him.
Gu Qingchi watched all this silently, yawned lazily, and when he raised his eyes, he found that the man was looking at him, and their eyes met.
Most people might look away when suddenly meeting someone else's eyes, but Gu Qingchi didn't react. He just looked back indifferently until the elevator door closed.
In the elevator, Xie Luyu's anger that was provoked by the entertainment reporters suddenly subsided a lot.
After reaching the floor, it calmed down.
The company really values Xie Luyu. The entire seventh floor belongs to Xie Luyu. Except for Xie Luyu's workshop which is not used once every eight hundred years, his entire team is also on the seventh floor.
Xie Luyu's agent has received the news.
Xie Luyu's agent is Pan Xiaocheng, who is not small at all. He is almost 1.9 meters tall, the same height as Xie Luyu. In particular, he has a big frame. He likes to wear sunglasses and follows Xie Luyu out like a bodyguard.
At this moment he poked his head out of the office and asked with a glimmer of hope.
"I heard you were blocked again. Did you curse at me this time?"
Xie Luyu pulled down his mask and looked at him sincerely.
The agent understood, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared. He pointed at Xie Luyu with trembling fingers, and said with great sorrow.
"Do you know how many red envelopes I have to give to the PR department every year?"
Gu Qingchi was used to being slow and slow, and he would always lag behind others when taking the elevator. But after getting in, he was suddenly at the front.
Originally, he was dozing off quietly in the back, and few people noticed him.
Now almost everyone around him was looking at him secretly. The reserved ones were staring at his shadow reflected by the elevator, while the bold ones had already pretended to check their phones and secretly opened their cameras.
Everyone in the company has seen the world, and they are not surprised by the coming and going of many celebrities. Only when a big shot like Xie Luyu, who only comes once in eight hundred years, comes to the company will they give him a look out of respect.
Gu Qingchi has always been a little slow to understand these things. He has always thought that he is ordinary and insignificant. He just lives his own life and rarely pays attention to people and things that have nothing to do with him.
The elevator, which is usually bustling, was unusually quiet today. It was Gu Qingchi's first time here, and he thought it was just like that. He was naturally quiet-loving, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
But the other people in the elevator felt a little uncomfortable, as if they felt the atmosphere was too weird, and several people in the elevator started talking.
"Hey, who is that? What a grand ceremony."
"A newcomer, right? Who else could it be? Xie Luyu. Who else but him has this status?"
"That's Xie Luyu?! I'm his fan, my god, I was so close to my idol just now. I joined this company because of him."
On the third floor, Gu Qingchi arrived.
As soon as he left, the topic in the elevator changed immediately and a heated discussion began.
"Who is that?"
He didn't specify anything, but the others understood his meaning immediately.
"I don't know. He must have just joined the company, otherwise I would not have had any impression of him."
"I have seen him. He was on the trending search. I was still wondering when he would debut. I didn't expect that he was from our company."
"That can't be possible. There has been no movement for so many days. Besides, I saw the badge on his chest. It's the blue badge of his agent."
"No way, how can such a person be an agent?"
"What the hell? Now the agent is more like the artist than the artist."
That day the Human Resources Department received many inquiries about new agents.
Gu Qingchi didn't know that he had become famous on his first day in the company.
He is in Yeli's office.
Ye Li looked at Gu Qingchi and raised his eyebrows.
"Sit down. What? Did you stay up late?"
Gu Qingchi is also very honest.
"Yeah, I couldn't sleep."
Ye Li didn't say much, he took out a document.
Ye Li did not relax his standards because of the previous two failures. On the contrary, he gave them some time to get into the game the first two times.
This time he made his attitude clear from the beginning.
"Although I have stressed this before signing the contract, I will say it again now. I hope you can be clear about your responsibilities. Since you have chosen to be an artist, you should at least have basic professional ethics."
He paused.
"For example, maintaining a good condition. I will intervene in the management of this aspect in the future."
"One more thing. I asked you about your relationship issues, and you said you were single. I believe you. If there are any changes in the future, whether it's a man or a woman, report to me first."
"The last point is that you and I share a common interest, so trust me."
Gu Qingchi nodded. He knew all this before. Except for the difficulty in his daily routine, there were no other problems.
Ye Li officially got to the point.
"You are already 22 years old this year. You can't debut as a trainee. It's not impossible to debut as an amateur, but when people mention amateur, they will subconsciously think that your overall quality is inferior to others, although this is also true."
He explained it in more depth.
"But if you appear in the eyes of the world like this, people will label you as an outsider. The label is hard to remove in the early stage. If it is revealed later, it may be a proof of your talent. Now it will only make others focus on your face. No matter what achievements you make in the future, people will attribute it to this."
Xie Luyu also entered the entertainment industry suddenly, but his acting skills are real and his talent is truly terrifying, and anyone with eyes can see it.
His amateur status can only add to his glory.
But Gu Qingchi is different.
There are too many people trying to squeeze into the entertainment industry with just a face, which really damages their reputation. This circle is not big, but it is very cruel.
Especially with the development of technology in recent years, waves of camera beauties have emerged, and it is not uncommon for retouched photos to be more beautiful than those of celebrities.
But even for big internet celebrities who have stepped half a foot into the entertainment industry, it is extremely difficult to make their debut.
When internet celebrities first appeared, there were people who tried to sign a few to create stars, but few were successful.
Internet celebrities live in front of the live camera and only appear briefly during the live broadcast, while celebrities live under all cameras: media cameras, entertainment reporters cameras, and fans cameras, all the time.
Many trainees enter the company every year. The training period is five years. They have already learned the courses such as dance, etiquette and musical instruments thoroughly. They can handle any shot, and all of them look good.
A good face is just a threshold, not an asset.
Gu Qingchi is an exception. His beauty has become art, and his existence itself is a miracle.
It was so cruel that Ye Li signed an amateur for the first time and let him be silently drowned in the torrent of the times.
There is a saying that goes like this: tragedy is the destruction of beautiful things in front of people, and that would be the most grand and glorious tragedy in the world.
Ye Li would not allow that to happen, he believed that he would create the greatest art with his own hands.
"Model, you should debut as a model, not a Taobao model. I have contacted the store owner to buy out the films you filmed before. No one will know that you are a Taobao model. Don't let it slip in the future. You are a professional model. I have several cover shoots for first-tier magazines in my hands. I will contact you in the next few days."
Ye Li was full of energy. He wrote something on the document and twirled his pen.
"Your popularity on the trending searches is still there, so you can't waste it, but you haven't taken any dance or instrument classes yet, so this is difficult..."
He said to himself.
"What's the latest variety show about cooking and washing clothes? Let me ask for you."
Ye Li called Pan Xiaocheng directly.
"Hello, it's me. No more nonsense. It's a variety show about washing clothes and chopping wood on Mango TV. Please give me a spot in the next episode."
Pan Xiaocheng was happy.
"What's with washing clothes and chopping wood? They're doing a reality show. They're hosting a farm stay."
"Just for you to know. I'll treat you to a meal some other day."
Pan Xiaocheng has some connections with the producer there, so he can have a say, so it is indeed the fastest way to find him.
Agents all have some connections with each other, and they believe in give and take. If you owe someone a favor, you usually have to pay it back with a bigger one. Ye Li will not easily owe anyone a favor.
Xie Luyu naturally didn't need Pan Xiaocheng to fight for resources anymore, as good resources were now automatically delivered to his door.
Ye Li's favor is destined to remain somewhere else.
It was just a piece of cake, Pan Xiaocheng happily agreed.
After he hung up the phone, he turned around and saw Xie Luyu next to him. His joy disappeared in an instant. Seeing this thing gave him a headache.
Xie Luyu slumped on the sofa, lying with his arms and legs spread out, looking like he had nothing to do.
"Can you stop arguing with the media all the time? Can't you just take on a role?"
"I accepted it. It will take another six months to start filming. I have nothing to do all day. Besides, I don't argue with them all the time. I often check on my fans online."
Pan Xiaocheng was desperate.
"Is that caring? You're the one who argues with them the most!"
Xie Luyu tossed an apple up and down.
"Many young people nowadays have improper ideas. Can I allow my fans to have problematic values? I absolutely cannot do that."
Pan Xiaocheng covered his heart, sat on the chair, frowned and waved his hands.
"Stop talking, my heart hurts."
Xie Luyu stopped, sighed, and spoke helplessly as if he was coaxing a child.
"Forget it, just let me take part in a variety show."
Pan Xiaocheng jumped up suddenly.
"You said it, don't regret it."
Pan Xiaocheng thought about it happily. Mango TV Farmhouse just happened to invite him and the remuneration was good. If he agreed, it would also be convenient to add a quota for Ye Li, killing two birds with one stone.
