However, talent agencies primarily manage and plan actors, and they consist of a group of top-tier looks who have been pampered and treated like stars since childhood, yet lack much education…
"Hey, who are you calling uncultured?" Wei Changfeng scoffed.
"It's not just what the boss said, it's what the general public thinks. Besides, tell me, aren't your academic scores one or two hundred points lower than other undergraduates?"
With your current knowledge base, if you weren't acting, what kind of job could you handle if you were just thrown into any company?
That kid Guo, he can't even type properly on a computer, I have no idea how he submitted his thesis or graduated..."
Zhao Hui graduated from a prestigious 985 university, so it's understandable that he looks down on the academic qualifications of people in the entertainment industry.
Wei Changfeng had no choice but to listen to him continue, since he had been considered a pretty face but no substance more than once.
However, everyone has their own expertise. If you ask those company's top performers to act, they probably won't even be able to deliver their lines properly.
However, he wouldn't argue with Zhao Hui, since he knew that neither the boss nor the agent meant any harm; they were just expressing the public's perception of celebrities.
Moreover, since it's the same job, their salaries are indeed dozens of times higher than those of ordinary wage earners, so there's nothing to complain about.
Zhao Hui continued, saying that the boss was worried that these children with excellent physical attributes would get lost in the flowers and applause, which would no longer be a question of how fast they would develop, but rather whether they would have any future prospects. Therefore, managing people well is the top priority.
Moreover, children who study art are generally more romantic and free-spirited by nature, and like to do things unconventionally, which makes discipline even more important.
That's why he keeps emphasizing those old clichés, not because he's really afraid of being scared out of sleep by news suddenly breaking out about one of his artists in the middle of the night.
The boss's worries were not unfounded. This time, it was his favorite protégé, Wei Changfeng, one of the company's most popular artists, who kept him up at night.
The news that Wei Changfeng, despite using a cane, met with a girl late at night on Valentine's Day and brought her back to his apartment to spend three hours alone with her immediately became a trending topic on Weibo.
Short video platforms such as Douyin and Xiaohongshu quickly followed suit, with marketing accounts of all sizes working overnight to create content and images.
Nonsense, unfounded rumors, and sarcastic articles flooded the internet in an instant.
Fans' reactions were also polarized:
Those who believe their brother's defense should go to the relevant news articles and ask passersby for various explanations.
Those who had doubts began searching their memories for Wei Changfeng's activities on Valentine's Day in previous years;
The index team began searching for all available news articles related to Wei Changfeng and women, attempting to solve the case themselves and identify the female protagonist in the scandal.
The news report only mentioned that Wei Changfeng met with a woman at night, without mentioning the woman's identity, which made it even more mysterious.
After explaining to the boss for a long time, they still seemed a little skeptical.
Zhao Hui had always mentored him and had complete faith in him.
Helpless, Wei Changfeng asked his assistant, Xiao Hao, to explain the situation to his boss.
Xiao Hao swore that he was present at the scene that night and was a witness, and that Brother Wei and that girl had nothing to do with each other.
That evening, after He Xiaomei went upstairs and put her things down, Wei Changfeng told her to leave.
But the girl refused to leave, saying that the two grown men couldn't cook, and that ordering takeout every day while injured was unhygienic and bad for their health.
So he cooked two dishes himself, and the three of them had a strange Valentine's Day dinner for three before He Xiaomei was persuaded to leave. Xiao Hao even personally escorted her downstairs.
“I was watching him closely the whole time, never leaving my brother’s side, so he didn’t have a chance to make a mistake even if he wanted to.”
Wei Changfeng looked at his assistant, who was busy making excuses for him, but after listening carefully to what he said, he felt like kicking him.
Suddenly I realized why the boss on the other end of the phone hadn't said a word since then. Could it be that he really got angry with me during the holiday?
He snatched the phone from Xiao Hao's hand and asked, "Brother, where's the boss? Is the boss listening? Why isn't he responding?"
Zhao Hui snorted and said, "The boss doesn't have time to deal with you right now. He's currently having a heated argument with He Xiaomei's boss on the phone."
"What?!"
