Wen Zheng was caught off guard, "Didn't I say it would be after the qualifying round? I feel like I'm not ready yet."
"You remembered it wrong," Wang Yuehong couldn't help but laugh. "You don't need to prepare for this kind of thing. We just have a meal together, preferably some drinks, and then we leave together in the car. That's the end of it. You won't really
Wang Yuehong smiled and joked: "Have you ever thought that you are actually at a loss? The company arranged the scandal between you and Ye Xiaoxue purely for the sake of Ye Xiaoxue's reputation reversal in the next three games, and you will not only be ignored by everyone, but you will not even get anything.
.If Ye Xiaoxue is ambitious enough, it won't matter if you eat. This kind of exchange of interests is very common. After all, you will lose money if you don't eat, so it is better to make a small profit."
Wen Zheng criticized with a serious face: "That's not the right idea of yours. I have experienced some things, and I know that there are many temptations in the industry. I also know that if people in the industry want to retire safely, they must cherish their feathers to the same extent as those in the officialdom."
.”
Wang Yuehong shook her head and smiled bitterly, and interrupted: "Sometimes if you don't accept the gift, others will be worried. Okay, I'm just joking about this. Now let's get down to business. When do you think it's convenient?"
"You won't persuade me?"
Wen Zheng asked rhetorically.
Wang Yuehong lit a cigarette skillfully and said in a deep voice: "It is your business to make decisions. I only need to consider how to serve you well so that I can continue to make profits. I have thought about it. Even if you retreat behind the scenes, I may be better than
You are still busy now. You know, there are no less than twenty companies or individuals who want to arrange music, movies, or even commercial activities with you, and I have postponed them all until after the competition."
Wen Zheng obviously didn't care about her blunt words and just asked again: "Do you really think I'm at a loss in this matter?"
"It's a small loss."
Wang Yuehong thought for a while and then added: "But this is the price you pay for withdrawing from the industry in disguise. As I said, Yueyin is also a profit-oriented company. You may make a small profit, but they will never lose money. I am very sorry, but
I know it's useless to persuade you."
Wen Zheng was silent for a moment and sighed: "Then let's leave it to tomorrow."
After he sent Wang Yuehong away, people in the room looked at him curiously. It was definitely not a trivial matter for his agent to come to his door late at night.
Lin Qi took the lead and asked timidly: "Did the judges and the company put pressure on you because of my remarks?"
Wen Zheng smiled and said: "It's nothing. However, please delete the post quickly and stop being arrogant. Things are getting more and more complicated now. The judges are all old people, so this kind of disturbance will not affect them.
But Yueyin is counting on getting her money back in the national competition. If I really get caught because of this, Boss Lin will strangle me to death."
Lin Qi stuck out her tongue, hugged her phone and retreated to the sofa.
Zhou Meiyun didn't mind watching the excitement and said: "What a bullshit judge, I don't think your standards are as high as yours. Xiao Wen, why don't we just quit the competition and make a movie? I fully support you, and I can give you money or people."
"A stranger?"
Wen Zheng was stunned.
Zhou Meiyun said angrily: "Why, as an investor, I can't make a cameo appearance?"
Wang Sisi said impatiently: "Mom, please stop causing trouble."
Zhou Meiyun gave up in frustration.
Later, Wen Zheng confessed his affair with Ye Xiaoxue frankly, and everyone in the room was shocked.
"No! Definitely not!"
Zhou Meiyun was the first to stand up and object, "If you are not such a bully, why should you be used as a stepping stone for her? If your reputation is ruined, will anyone still watch the movies you make in the future?"
Wang Sisi put her hand on her forehead and didn't want to speak at all.
Ever since her mother found out that Wen Zheng was really making money by making movies, she couldn't do anything without the word "movie" in her three sentences. She even dreamed that she would become famous in a guest role and walk on the red carpet.
Lin Qi's eyes widened, with a look of incomprehension on her face.
Wen Zheng hurriedly explained: "First of all, this is just a show. I moved behind the scenes, and the company had to have someone in front of the stage to support me. Secondly, the company paid for the three songs I gave Ye Xiaoxue."
"How many?"
As soon as Zhou Meiyun opened her mouth, Wang Sisi interrupted: "Since it's the company's arrangement, you can go. Tomorrow I will take my mother to the Red Mansion crew. I have won a small role there, and it will only last for three to five days. It should be enough.
You performed."
Wen Zheng subconsciously asked: "Is Director Yang so strict?"
"No."
Wang Sisi smiled half-heartedly, "The list you recommended is basically all small roles like this, but there's nothing we can do about it. As for the main roles, no one here can really take on them." After that, he pulled her away.
Zhou Meiyun went upstairs.
After Wen Zheng realized it, he looked blankly at Lin Qi.
He hesitated and said, "She seems a little angry."
Lin Qi gloated: "I have to take the exam for Subject 1 tomorrow. Say goodbye."
Wen Zheng: "..."
The next day.
Wen Zheng called Lin Qingge, but the other party refused directly.
An hour later, Wen Zheng called again, and Boss Lin picked up the phone.
"Is something wrong?"
"Then what... that... uh..."
"Singing makes you silly? Your soul is still far away and hasn't come back? If you have something to say, just tell me. If it's okay, I'll hang up."
Wen Zhengyi gritted his teeth and said: "I didn't talk about the resources for film and television dramas last time..."
Lin Qingge interrupted directly: "You still have the nerve to say it? Fourth, fourth. Do you plan to start ruining it now?"
"Correction, strictly speaking, it is tied for third, not fourth."
"Hey, you are so capable. You tied for third place in the first national competition. Do I have to hold various press conferences for you?"
"No, no, no, don't bother me. I will definitely sing seriously in the next performance."
Faced with Wen Zheng's assurance, Lin Qingge was silent for a moment and then said angrily: "I have already made preliminary arrangements with the two companies about the next singer competition. You can directly place the order and send the money."
"thank you boss!"
Wen Zheng was overjoyed.
Lin Qingge asked coldly: "Have you really thought about it? Once this scandal comes out and the follow-up measures are taken, the ultimate beneficiary will only be Ye Xiaoxue, and the company will not give you any compensation."
Wen Zheng smiled bitterly and said: "I don't need any fame after turning backstage, as long as the work is good. Besides, I really don't think that I alone can change the status quo. Now people in the country know that the entertainment industry in Longguo can still produce high-quality products."
, my first mission is over, and retreating behind the scenes is the most correct choice. Only when all efforts are in full bloom is true prosperity. How can it be spring when a single person stands out?"
"Grand-sounding."
Lin Qingge cursed, smacked his lips and sighed, "If you hadn't agreed first, I would not have approved Mr. Zhao's proposal."
Wen Zheng smiled and said: "Have you forgotten why I became an accomplice with you? Where, reputation, money, these are not important to me, as long as our ultimate goal is achieved."
"Pay attention to your wording. Since you are willing, I have nothing to say. I will sacrifice you just to make millions of families happy. Tsk tsk..."
Lin Qingge hung up the phone angrily.
A message from his agent, Sister Wang, immediately appeared on Wen Zheng's cell phone, which contained information about his schedule for this afternoon.
He immediately called Zhou Kang, the person in charge of the website, and told him that he could negotiate with the two major entertainment companies to introduce resources. He originally planned to drive his minivan to the banquet, but the car had already driven out of the garage, but he drove the car again.
Went back.
Tens of minutes later.
Wen Zheng drove the Baoshi Jie belonging to Lin Qi and appeared downstairs in Ye Xiaoxue's rental community.
"Go downstairs."
Wen Zheng sent a message to Ye Xiaoxue.
Almost instantly, Ye Xiaoxue's message came back: "Wait a moment, I'll be down soon."
Half an hour later.
When Wen Zheng was squatting beside the car and waiting impatiently, Ye Xiaoxue finally appeared.
He originally thought that Ye Xiaoxue was dressing up at home, but he didn't expect that the scene would be similar to the first time they met. Although she was not in a white dress, she still had a bare face, not to mention makeup, and she probably hadn't even washed her hair.
Despite this, the bloated down jacket still cannot hide his cool temperament and good looks.
"You didn't just wake up, did you?"
Wen Zheng's face was full of surprise.
Faced with the inquiry, Ye Xiaoxue blushed and said with an embarrassed smile: "I had insomnia last night. I almost fell asleep in the early morning. I just washed my face randomly. I... Isn't it not good for me to be like this? How about you follow
I'll go up and wait until I get down, and I'll put on a little makeup."
Wen Zheng looked her up and down and joked: "Forget it, just be casual. Anyway, you have a good foundation. It doesn't matter whether you wear makeup or not. Do you know the schedule?"
Ye Xiaoxue must have been asleep, and she just shook her head when she heard this.
Wen Zheng handed her his mobile phone and said, "Get in the car. Check the itinerary first."
Ye Xiaoxue took a look at the sports car in front of her and couldn't help but laugh: "I remember you didn't drive a van? Why did you change the car?"
"Lin Qi's car."
Wen Zheng explained, thought for a while and then added, "It's just a show. It's not a good day to drive a van. In comparison, it's too eye-catching."
Ye Xiaoxue smiled, opened the door and got in the car.
On the way, the two of them chatted casually about the singing competition, and even during the meal, they didn't talk about anything else.
Judging from Wen Zheng's modest experience in reading people, Ye Xiaoxue is quite casual in private. As for her musical talent, although she can't compare to Lin Qi, she can become the champion of the Northwest Division, and is now being
Yueyin likes him, and his strength is indeed rare.
The information Zhao Qiuxing gave him stated that his creative ability was average. After getting along with him for a short time, Wen Zheng already had a different view.
In fact, Ye Xiaoxue is still very spiritual in writing lyrics. As for her composition ability, it is currently only limited by her lack of exposure to relevant systematic training.
Generally speaking, Wen Zheng is very optimistic about this "successor".
The two of them were eating, drinking, and having fun. Although they knew that someone might have started taking pictures in the dark, they had a lot of fun.
late at night.
The tightly wrapped two people returned to the community, and after entering the elevator, Wen Zheng immediately let go of his hand.
According to the company's arrangements, he had to stay at Ye Xiaoxue's house until dawn.
Ye Xiaoxue put her hands into her pockets and asked with a smile: "Why are your palms so sweaty? Are you not nervous anymore?"
Wen Zheng smiled bitterly and said: "Zongjue's company's arrangement is too stupid."
Ye Xiaoxue pursed her lips and smiled, but without saying anything, she got out of the elevator first and opened the door.
The house is very clean, and there is a warm fragrance in the air.
Wen Zheng seemed a little cautious.
"Just do whatever you want, I'm not particular about it."
Ye Xiaoxue greeted her while taking off her coat, revealing her graceful figure.
She walked straight to the window and looked out, then closed the thick curtains, went into the house and turned on the light in the bedroom, and then sat down.
When Wen Zheng saw her sitting down again, he said, "I'll just stay here for one night. Anyway, the heating in the room is quite good."
Ye Xiaoxue looked at the time and said with a smile: "I woke up late, so I'm not very sleepy. How about a drink and chat for a while? I found that chatting with you will increase my knowledge. You are indeed a person who has received professional training."
Wen Zheng smiled bitterly: "As a trainee, that's considered professional training, so don't laugh at me."
In the blink of an eye, after a few glasses of wine, the two of them were chatting and the topic suddenly disappeared.
Ye Xiaoxue bit her wine glass lightly, staring at Wen Zheng with a reddish cheek, and asked vaguely: "Do you want to play poker?"
Wen Zheng was immediately stunned.
Are you so direct now? I'm acting with you, but you actually come so seriously?
