"What kind of rival is Lu Wenxing?"
"He is good-looking, and we have no advantage standing with him."
Cheng Yuan gave a 'tsk' sound.
"What is there to worry about a beautiful trash? Today is a variety show guest selection, not a talent show."
"What if..."
Cheng Yuan interrupted him.
"Last week, Sister Man asked Lu Wenxing to accompany Director Jiang. Lu Wenxing smashed Director Jiang's head when he didn't like it. Do you think Sister Man can easily forgive him?"
Little Star's eyes lit up suddenly, "That's true, how will Sister Man punish him?"
"Lu Wenxing's magazine endorsement has been taken away, maybe he won't even participate in today's variety show interview."
"Really?"
If so, it would be a surprise. The smile on the corner of Xiao Xingxing's mouth rose slightly, followed by a mocking sentence.
"They're all juniors. Lu Wenxing doesn't like casting directors. Do you still want to accompany the chief director?"
"Casting directors have limited rights, so they just choose a small supporting role. Lu Wenxing thinks of himself as a nobleman, so he may really look down on him. Maybe he has..."
— boom.
The door was pushed open with a loud bang.
Seeing Lu Wenxing standing at the door, Xiao Xingxing turned pale and quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at Lu Wenxing's expression.
Different from the anxiety of the little star, Cheng Yuan has always been at odds with Lu Wenxing, he is not afraid that Lu Wenxing will hear and continue what he just said.
"...The patron has been found."
Cheng Yuan's eyes fell on Lu Wenxing's sneakers, and he said contemptuously, "These shoes must be ten thousand smaller."
Lu Wenxing didn't even give him a look, he went straight to the empty seat, pulled out the chair and sat across from them.
He leaned leisurely on the back of the chair, his long legs stretched forward, and his posture was lazy.
Just when Cheng Yuan thought that Lu Wenxing would not talk to him, Lu Wenxing spoke up.
"Disappointed?"
Hearing the endless words, Cheng Yuan was confused and almost blurted out, "What?"
"You are sorry that you were not allowed to accompany Jiang Zhengqin." Lu Wenxing raised his eyelids and looked at Cheng Yuan.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Cheng Yuan retorted too hastily, and stammered, "Who, who would regret something like that."
"Oh?" Lu Wenxing responded casually, "I thought you really wanted to go."
"Lu Wenxing." Cheng Yuan supported the table and stood up abruptly.
"What do I really want to go, when do I want to..."
"What's the noise?" Manager Wang Man walked in with high heels.
"I heard you yelling in the corridor. Is the company a place for you to quarrel?"
"Sister Man." Cheng Yuan turned off the ignition instantly, and stood aside as quietly as a chicken.
The little star also hurriedly stood up, and called out 'Sister Man' cautiously.
Wang Man ignored Cheng Yuan, and said to the two artists behind him, "You two find a seat by yourself."
"it is good."
The two artists were rather reserved, and they agreed quickly, but Wang Man didn't sit, and they didn't dare to sit.
Cheng Yuan and Xiaoxing stood there silently, only Lu Wenxing leaned on the back of the chair without any burden.
Wang Man's eyes fell, and she glanced at Lu Wenxing, who had the word 'rebellious' written all over her body, and recalled the beating incident last week, and her brows furrowed fiercely.
"Lu Wenxing, what do you look like now?"
Following Wang Man's words, Lu Wenxing looked himself up and down, "I think it's pretty good."
He is wearing a white hooded sweater, a jacket, a pair of ripped jeans, and new sneakers, a birthday present from his adoptive mother.
Wang Man's face darkened, and she patted the document in her hand on the table.
"It's good to break Director Jiang's head? Why don't you beat me together?"
"If Sister Man also intends to play tricks on me." Lu Wenxing replied unhurriedly.
Wang Man glared at Lu Wenxing with her big eyes wearing colored contact lenses, and angrily reprimanded her.
"Lu Wenxing, because of your impulsiveness, the artists of Mangcheng Entertainment missed the opportunity to cast a TV drama. Can you bear the loss alone?"
The leader of Mang Orange Entertainment invited Jiang Zhengqin to dinner last week, and they have reached a consensus in private. Jiang Zhengqin will give priority to selecting suitable small supporting roles or special actors from Mangcheng Entertainment.
But Lu Wenxing didn't know what to do, so he insulted Jiang Zhengqin in public and even beat him up. This made Jiang Zhengqin angry at Mangcheng Entertainment, and all its artists were removed from the casting list.
Wang Man has been scolded by the leader for two days because of this incident, and now she gets angry whenever she sees Lu Wenxing.
The few people present, except for Cheng Yuan's mentality of watching a play, everyone else wanted to hide, for fear of being affected by Wang Man's anger.
Lu Wenxing, who was at the center of the anger, acted as if nothing happened, Wang Man's heart attack.
"If you're smarter, go and apologize to Director Jiang, and treat him to a meal. I won't give you any resources until he forgives you."
Wang Man wouldn't give up until she provoked Lu Wenxing, she stared at Lu Wenxing, lowered the speed of her speech, with a mocking tone.
"Wen Yu joined the company at about the same time as you. Now he has participated in two online dramas and received a lot of endorsements. He will be approached by variety shows, movies and other resources in the future. What about you? Even the big screen I haven’t been on it, the mud can’t support the wall.”
Worried that others would follow suit, Wang Man slapped Lu Wenxing harshly and at the same time warned other artists.
"You are obedient, I will give you another chance. Otherwise, get out of the entertainment industry as soon as possible. I don't have time to spend with you."
"Yes, Sister Man's time is precious." Lu Wenxing echoed,
The corner of Wang Man's mouth curled into a triumphant smile, she raised her chin arrogantly, waiting for Lu Wenxing to admit her mistake.
However-
Lu Wenxing's voice changed, and the words that came out made Wang Man's smile froze on his face.
"That's fine, let's terminate the contract."
The conference room suddenly fell into silence, several artists looked at each other, Lu Wenxing must be crazy, dare to challenge Wang Man like that.
Wang Man laughed angrily.
"You want to terminate the contract, right? Okay. You can leave after paying the 10 million liquidated damages."
Wang Man's eyes fell on Lu Wenxing's sneakers, and he sneered.
"Your benefactor is willing to spend 10,000 yuan to buy you sneakers, but it doesn't mean he is willing to spend 10 million yuan to pay liquidated damages."
Lu Wenxing did not explain, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and under Wang Man's gaze, he clicked on the recording to play.
Then came a clear female voice, which could be heard flattering through the phone.
"Director Jiang, if you like Lu Wenxing, he is lucky. If you don't like him, there are other artists in Mangcheng Entertainment."
The owner of the voice was Wang Man, followed by Jiang Zhengqin's thick voice.
"Lu Wenxing saw that he was a good seed in the entertainment industry, and I like people who are hardworking and motivated. How about it. You let him..."
Those ambiguous words later were cut off by Lu Wenxing's pause button, and Wang Man's face changed again and again as soon as she changed from her previous arrogance.
"Lu Wenxing, we can discuss anything. It's fine if you don't want to. It's the same with Director Jiang when I find other artists."
Lu Wenxing was too calm, Wang Man was worried that he had other recordings in his hand, so he suppressed the anger in his heart and comforted Lu Wenxing instead.
"KM's endorsement can be returned to you."
return
Lu Wenxing sneered in his heart.
Wang Man took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
"You should know that Actor Gu will come to choose a variety show guest this afternoon. You have an advantage in appearance, so you have a high chance of being selected."
Lu Wenxing remained silent, Wang Man gritted his teeth and continued, "If you think about it carefully, it's really not a wise choice to terminate the contract."
"It's not necessary."
Lu Wenxing didn't want to save Wang Man, so he stood up and left the conference room.
Wang Man is very scheming, and this is not the first time that he has spoken in plain language, he just wants to trick Lu Wenxing into deleting the recording.
Lu Wenxing will not be fooled, whether it is the endorsement of KM, or the guest of the show chosen by actor Gu, it will only be Wen Yu.
because-
The world he lives in is the world of a novel called "Being Popular".
Wen Yu is the protagonist of this novel, actor Gu Yanshen is the protagonist Gong,
As for Lu Wenxing, he is a cannon fodder supporting role to set off the protagonist.
In the original book, the protagonist Shou conceals his status as a wealthy family and gains a firm foothold in the entertainment industry through his own efforts.
Since entering the entertainment industry, Wang Man has been following the protagonist Shou all day long to ask for his health, more thoughtful than a life assistant. It was just to please the protagonist Shou, because she already knew that the protagonist Shou was from a wealthy family.
The protagonist Shou entered the public's field of vision through the endorsement of KM magazine, and because he participated in the same variety show as the protagonist Gong, his popularity doubled by more than ten times, from an eighteenth-line star to a popular idol.
Lu Wen Xingji hated the protagonist Shou for taking his own resources to become popular, he was jealous, framed the protagonist Shou several times, and angered the protagonist Shou's fans.
The fan group teamed up to expose Lu Wenxing's crimes, sending Lu Wenxing's hot searches on it was criticized and abused by many netizens.
Lu Wenxing's adoptive father lost his job because of this, and his adoptive mother, who was in poor health, was threatened by extreme fans to post animal corpses, which led to a heart attack and died.
Even his younger brother Xie Chengfei, who was in high school, committed suicide by jumping off the building due to the pressure of campus violence and unbearable rumors.
Cannon fodder Lu Wenxing meets a mentally ill person who escaped, is hit by the other party's car and becomes disabled, and is accompanied by a wheelchair for life.
If Lu Wenxing was the only one in the miserable situation in the dream, he wouldn't take it to heart at all.
But the scene in the dream was confirmed several times, and Lu Wenxing couldn't help becoming cautious.
Although he didn't know who his biological parents were, his adoptive parents treated him very well. Lu Wenxing, who has already lost his family once, cherishes the hard-won family affection, and he doesn't want his family to get into trouble.
Lu Wenxing himself does not do stupid things in the book, but in case the world of this book induces a forced plot, he may not be able to control his behavior.
After careful consideration, Lu Wenxing decided to terminate the contract.
Regardless of whether the plot will be forced to happen or not, what can be done right now is to stay away from the entertainment circle and stay away from the protagonist's attack.
Of course, it is impossible to successfully terminate the contract based on the recording alone. Not only Mangcheng Entertainment does pimp business in private, but other film and television companies also have this phenomenon.
Even if Lu Wenxing passed the recording to the entertainment media, it would involve too much, and the entertainment media might not dare to explode.
He needs a more favorable bargaining chip.
— ding dong.
The WeChat notification interrupted Lu Wenxing's thinking, and it was Lu Wenxing's college roommate who sent the voice message.
"Xingzai, Mangcheng Entertainment is so awesome now, I heard that a few days ago a director went to your place to cast a role, and today there is actor Gu going to choose a variety show guest."
Before Lu Wenxing had time to reply, his roommate sent another voice message with a slightly excited tone.
"That's recording a variety show with the film king. You said you are so good-looking. What if Gu Yanshen is a face control? Is it possible to just choose you?"
no way.
With the plot in hand, Lu Wenxing broke his roommate's illusions, turned the corner and walked towards the bathroom.
"Don't be so naive, the film emperor is not here to choose guests, but people are here to choose concubines..."
After he finished speaking the last word, he raised his eyes and saw Gu Xuanfei Yanshen who was washing his hands.
The two looked at each other through the mirror, and the air stagnated for a moment.
Lu Wenxing put the phone in his pocket without embarrassment.
It was only less than half past two, and he remembered that the interview time Wang Man had notified in the group was three o'clock, so Gu Yanshen must have come too early.
Of course, this is not what Lu Wenxing should consider, he put on a business-like smile as if nothing happened.
"Hello, Mr. Gu, you came really early."
Gu Yanshen took out two paper towels and slowly wiped off the water droplets on his hands, leaving Lu Wenxing with a stern look on his side.
But Lu Wenxing had no time to appreciate it, he was not sure if Gu Yanshen heard what he said.
A few seconds later, Lu Wenxing felt that he should be more diligent, such as going to the bathroom downstairs.
"Sorry, I went wrong."
After Lu Wenxing finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, when Gu Yanshen's cold voice suddenly sounded from behind.
"Why, you still want to go to the women's bathroom?"
Lu Wenxing: "..."
