At the end of January, the university had holidays one after another. Lu Wenxing's roommates went home the next day after the holiday. After seeing off the last roommate, Lu Wenxing planned to draw in the dormitory.
When he didn't have a job before, he just received manuscripts in the dormitory to earn extra money.
It has been a week since he participated in the variety show interview. During this period, Lu Wenxing didn't get any news. He acquiesced that this was a precursor to a replacement.
Then, Lu Wenxing received a call from a stranger.
"Hello, are you Lu Wenxing?"
Lu Wenxing was not surprised that the other party could call out his name, so he answered 'yes'.
"Hello, Mr. Lu. I'm Sheng Chao, Gu Yanshen's manager. I met at your company two weeks ago."
Lu Wenxing didn't answer, and waited for Sheng Chao to continue.
"Does Mr. Lu plan to terminate the contract recently?"
Lu Wenxing was silent for a second, "May I ask what you want to call?"
Sheng Chao didn't expect Lu Wenxing to be so defensive, so he paused and said.
"Mr. Lu, don't get me wrong. I don't mean anything else. I just want to ask if you need help."
"No, thank you." Lu Wenxing refused coldly.
"Mr. Lu, don't rush to refuse, we just want to discuss a mutually beneficial cooperation with Mr. Lu."
The "we" in Sheng Chao's mouth refers to Sheng Chao himself and Gu Yanshen.
Cooperation refers to two parties helping each other to achieve a common goal.
But Lu Wenxing doesn't think he can provide any help to Gu Yingdi or Sheng Chao, this cooperation is a bit baffling.
"Wang Man is Mr. Lu's manager, right? I took her call a few days ago."
Needless to say, Sheng Chao knew that Lu Wenxing also knew that Wang Man must have sought him for a replacement.
"Wang Man told me that Mr. Lu did not want to participate in the recording of this variety show. She felt very sorry and would provide suitable personnel to participate. Is this your own wish?"
Lu Wenxing replied bluntly, "Yes."
"In other entertainment companies, artists take whatever resources are given by their agents. This is the first time I know that there are companies in the entertainment industry that respect artists' wishes. I was deeply surprised and I called Director Xu, and she gave My reply is—"
"You are very willing and honored to work with Actor Gu."
Lu Wenxing: "..."
Lu Wenxing, who was exposed by Sheng Chao, didn't feel embarrassed, "Wang Man didn't lie, and I don't want to participate due to personal reasons. But it is indeed an honor to cooperate with Mr. Gu. I believe that every artist in Mangcheng Entertainment will appreciate it." Am looking forward to."
"Does that include you too?"
A cold and deep voice suddenly came into the microphone, so startled that Lu Wenxing almost threw the phone out.
It was Gu Yanshen.
Is the actor so busy now? Can you eavesdrop on other people's phone calls
Lu Wenxing didn't pass on his gaffe. After a few seconds of delay, he replied quite sincerely. "certainly."
"Little liar."
Lu Wenxing: "..."
"Sheng Chao's mother-in-law talked for a long time and still haven't gotten to the point?"
Lu Wenxing: "..." You suddenly collapsed, you know
"Cough... Let me just say it briefly." Gu Yan coughed deeply, and took Sheng Chao's phone as his own.
His tone was serious, "Your agent will call you later and ask you to go to the company to sign the contract."
Lu Wenxing was about to say 'I don't know how to sign', but he still didn't interrupt Gu Yanshen, and listened to him continue.
"I asked Sheng Chao to tell the person in charge of your company that I only like you as a variety show guest, and I don't want a replacement."
Lu Wenxing:? ?
"I've already talked about this, you should know how to do it?"
Lu Wenxing was stunned for a moment, then Mao Sai suddenly understood.
Is Gu Yanshen really helping him
Lu Wenxing didn't care about being surprised, thinking about Gu Yanshen's words, he suddenly realized.
As long as Gu Yanshen doesn't let go, Mang Orange Entertainment will try every means to get Lu Wenxing to sign a contract, and at this time Lu Wenxing will take the lead.
Compared with that recording, Gu Yanshen's refusal to change talents was his biggest bargaining chip.
He can take advantage of this to negotiate with Wang Man about terminating the contract.
Lu Wenxing didn't thank him, but calmly told the truth. "I know it's easy for Teacher Gu to help me, but I probably don't have anything to help Teacher Gu."
"You have."
Gu Yanshen said it firmly, but he didn't intend to go into details with Lu Wenxing.
Not long after the call was cut off, Lu Wenxing received a call from Wang Man.
No prologue, straight to the point.
"Come to the company in the afternoon to talk about the variety show contract."
Lu Wenxing didn't think too much about it, so he just had to clarify anything in the afternoon. As for the cooperation that Gu Yanshen mentioned, Lu Wenxing couldn't guess at the moment and didn't bother to guess.
After estimating the time it will take in the afternoon, there is a high probability that there is no time to draw the draft, so Lu Wenxing can only hurry up and color the draft in hand first.
***
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
Lu Wenxing walked into Wang Man's office.
The overly strong fragrance of flowers in the office made Lu Wenxing unable to help sneezing.
Seeing him coming in, Wang Man raised her chin, "Sit."
Wang Man pushed the contract in his hand to Lu Wenxing, "Look at the contract, and sign it if there is no problem."
Lu Wenxing didn't even look at it, and put on a haughty attitude.
"No, I want to terminate the contract."
Wang Man tapped his fingertips on the table slightly.
Before today, Wang Man didn't take Lu Wenxing's words about terminating the contract seriously. Her eyes flickered slightly, and she carefully examined Lu Wenxing.
After a long time, her bright red lips moved.
"Is it really like what Cheng Yuan said about finding the benefactor?"
"I'm not feeling well or you can't meet your schedule, these two are your most common excuses." Lu Wenxing's tone was full of sarcasm.
Wang Man cursed in his heart, he didn't know that Sheng Chao would contact Lu Wenxing, and he only thought that Lu Wenxing took away resources before satirizing her.
At the same time, Wang Man felt strange.
Because, every time she took Lu Wenxing's resources, Lu Wenxing would not show any emotion, and it seemed that she didn't care at all.
It's like resources that are only taken over to fulfill the obligations of the contract. It can be said that Lu Wenxing is reluctant.
Wang Man has seen Lu Wenxing's state when he was filming, and he looks like a shining star when he is serious.
If you really don't care about resources, Lu Wenxing doesn't have to take every shoot so seriously.
Wang Man couldn't figure it out, and for the first time felt that Lu Wenxing was more difficult than she imagined.
But even if it is difficult, as long as Lu Wenxing's contract does not expire, Wang Man can still influence him.
"Wen Xing, you are smart. You shouldn't give up your bright future just because of a trivial matter."
"You have to know that you have successfully appeared on the big screen after appearing in this variety show. Don't you like acting? As long as you seize the opportunity and wait for the variety show to be released, people will naturally come to you with scripts."
"I admit that I am partial to Wenyu. People are selfish. He can bring me more benefits than you."
"But when you reach a certain height, you won't be able to be replaced by just anyone, and there will be no more resources being cut off."
Lu Wenxing's eyes fell on Wang Man, and a sneer flashed in his eyes, "Your time is precious, I can't afford to waste it."
Lu Wenxing was too lazy to argue with Wang Man, so he directly took out the contract termination letter and pushed it in front of Wang Man, expressing his attitude.
The atmosphere in the office suddenly turned cold, and Wang Man lost his patience and threw the contract termination letter aside.
"But can you afford the liquidated damages?"
— buzz buzz.
Wang Man's cell phone rang, interrupting the tense atmosphere between the two.
"Hello, Mr. Xu."
Lu Wenxing couldn't hear what was said on the phone, but Wang Man's face gradually became serious.
A few minutes later, Wang Man put down the phone, looking very angry.
"Lu Wenxing, I really underestimated you."
Lu Wenxing:
Wang Man sneered, "The higher-ups agree with you to terminate the contract, and you don't need to pay liquidated damages."
Lu Wenxing suppressed the surprise in his eyes, and looked calm.
"I don't know how you hooked up with Actor Gu and asked him to make a special call to confirm the contract."
—Knock knock knock.
There was a knock on the office door.
"Come in."
"Sister Man, this is Lu Wenxing's contract termination."
The girl pushed both the termination contract and the variety show recording contract to Lu Wenxing, "Mr. Xu said that after signing the variety show contract, you can sign the termination contract."
Lu Wenxing immediately understood that the cooperation Gu Yanshen mentioned originally meant participating in the recording of variety shows.
But why did Gu Yanshen help him? You can't just want to participate in a variety show with him, can you
This is ridiculous.
Lu Wenxing didn't want to understand, but without Gu Yanshen's help, he would not have terminated the contract so quickly.
Staring at the two contracts on the table, Lu Wenxing hesitated for a few seconds, thinking that if he refused again, it would be a bit cheap and he would be a good boy.
But signing the contract also meant that he and Gu Yanshen would go on variety shows together.
In a few seconds, Lu Wenxing thought a lot, weighed the pros and cons, and chose to sign.
No matter what, it was important to get rid of Mangcheng Entertainment first, and he definitely couldn't afford the more than 10 million liquidated damages. Relying on that recording alone can only threaten Wang Man at most, and cannot be counted as a bargaining chip to terminate the contract.
Lu Wenxing thought about it, and felt that he could use the remuneration he got for recording variety shows to thank Gu Yanshen. Although the other party may not need it, this is the way Lu Wenxing can think of for the time being.
Walking out of Wang Man's office, Lu Wenxing felt a little relieved, but also ignored the sadness in his heart.
He didn't leave the company in a hurry and went to the dance studio downstairs.
Lu Wenxing pushed open the door of the dance studio, several furry heads gathered together, looking down at what they were looking at.
"cough."
Lu Wenxing coughed on purpose, Wei Ze hid the phone behind his back reflexively, and heaved a sigh of relief when he looked up and saw Lu Wenxing.
"Xing Xing, you scared me to death." Wei Ze patted his chest exaggeratedly.
"What are you watching when you're not practicing dancing?"
"Brother Wen Yu's exclusive interview." Wei Ze picked up the phone again, and his furry head got closer and closer.
Lan Mao beside Wei Ze sent an invitation to Lu Wenxing, "Brother, do you want to see it?"
Lu Wenxing leaned over to take a look, the location displayed on the screen was very familiar, "Company lounge?"
"Yes, it's upstairs." Wei Ze took the time to answer.
Lu Wenxing glanced at it. Wen Yu was wearing a white suit, smiling and radiant.
Someone suddenly sighed, "I have been in the company for so long, and I haven't spoken to Wen Yu yet."
"I do not have either."
"I have." Wei Ze was somewhat proud, "Brother Wenyu is so gentle. I met him in the bathroom before, and he handed me the paper and asked me if I was enough."
Contrary to what Wei Ze thought, the focus of the others did not fall on Wen Yu, but on him.
"Did you bring paper to the toilet?"
Wei Ze: "..."
Lu Wenxing couldn't help laughing, and rubbed his gray hair, "Envy Wen Yu for an exclusive interview?"
Wei Ze blushed, and nodded slightly, only to hear Lu Wenxing pouring cold water on his head, "That's not okay, do you want everyone on the Internet to know that you don't bring paper to the toilet?"
"Hahahahaha."
"Hahahahahaha, Ozawa made me laugh so hard."
Wei Ze's eyes widened, and he didn't know how to refute for a long time, looking angrily at his teammates rolling on the ground laughing.
"I, I don't say everything." Wei Ze retorted without confidence, seeing that everyone didn't believe it, he hooked Lu Wenxing's neck a little bit annoyed.
"How did you come to the company today?"
"Come to terminate the contract."
"what?"
"what?"
"what?"
"what?"
The four furry heads jerked up, staring at Lu Wenxing in disbelief, and Wei Ze was the first to react.
"You want to terminate the contract? But, it's liquidated damages..."
"The contract has been signed, boo."
Wei Ze and the others immediately made a zip movement, and couldn't help being curious, they looked straight at Lu Wenxing
"Then, are you not coming to the company anymore?" Wei Ze was a little sad, his expression was not as lively as before, and his eyes showed a little disappointment.
Looking at his fleshy cheeks, Lu Wenxing squeezed his hands, "You guys practice your dance well and make your debut early, I will go to your concert."
"Really?"
Lu Wenxing nodded, Wei Ze was still depressed, and several teammates patted his shoulders and rubbed their heads, comforting him in a low voice.
"This is a good thing for Wen Xing, his agent is not good for him at all."
"Yes, we should bless him."
"I know, I'm just a little bit reluctant."
Although Lu Wenxing did not make his debut in a group, he also took dance and vocal courses before, and was in the same class as Wei Ze and the others.
Because Lu Wenxing has no intention of forming a group, Wang Man intends to let him develop in the direction of modeling.
Lu Wenxing looks amazing, although he is not well-known, there are still small brands who will ask Lu Wenxing to shoot cover advertisements.
"Xing Xing, do you want to see our new dance?" Wei Ze's eyes sparkled.
Lu Wenxing suspected that if he refused, Wei Ze would cry for him.
Seeing Lu Wenxing nodding his head, Wei Ze excitedly pulled up his teammates who were sitting on the ground, "Hurry up and continue dancing."
The teammates looked resentful, "Didn't you say you should rest for half an hour? It's less than twenty minutes."
Wei Ze usually likes to be lazy, but now he suddenly wants to dance for Lu Wenxing.
The music is played again and the volume is turned up.
Wei Ze and the others had already set their poses, and the gentle music entered, and they swiped one step to the right following the rhythm.
Lu Wen stared closely at Wei Ze, and couldn't help but marvel. A few months ago, Wei Ze was ridiculed by Mr. Mk for twisting like a zombie.
For some reason, seeing Wei Ze's serious appearance, Lu Wenxing couldn't help but learn the movements.
This dance is not difficult. The most important thing on the debut night is not the difficult dance moves, but the premise of being stable and not making mistakes.
Lu Wenxing has a background in dance, and many dance moves are similar, so he can get a general idea of the dance just by watching it once.
When the second round of music started, Lu Wenxing had already taken off his jacket and joined the dance of the four.
The last beat fell, and the five people froze at the same time.
"The eyes of the stars kill me."
Wei Ze couldn't hold back, he wanted to scream, and felt a little regretful. "If I had known you earlier, I would have definitely pulled you into our regiment."
"Wen Xing learned too quickly, so we just danced once."
"This dance is not difficult." Lu Wenxing said modestly, "Many movements have been skipped before, but the order is different."
"This dance is really not difficult, it's because Wei Ze can't dance." The teammates said disgusting words, but they still accommodated Wei Ze in their hearts.
"I have studied very hard. You can ask Xingxing if I have made any progress."
"Yes." Lu Wenxing praised without hesitation, "It's much better than before, very handsome!"
"Look, look. The stars praise me for being handsome." Wei Ze didn't boast, his tail almost went up to the sky, and he leaned proudly on Lu Wenxing's shoulder.
"When I become famous, there will be 180 concerts a year, and the stars will come to every show. I will give you a great VIP perspective to appreciate my handsome dance moves."
"Wake up, don't dream in broad daylight." The teammates ruthlessly broke Wei Ze's daydream, "We don't have a game now."
Wei Ze likes to say hello, and he will say anything when he is excited, "I don't care, we will definitely be the most popular boy group in the future."
In the evening, Lu Wenxing received the final payment immediately after sending the drawing to the client.
After finishing my work, I finally remembered to send Sheng Chao a text message.
—Thank you, and thank you, Mr. Gu, for helping me too.
After waiting for a while but still not getting a reply, Lu Wenxing reckoned that it was impossible to go to bed so early, he must be busy.
He was lying on the bed and swiping his phone, and the WeChat alerts rang one after another.
[Wei Laiding Liu] Stars! ! ! !
[Wei Lai Ding Liu]Look at Weibo! ! !
[Wei Laiding Liu] Ahhh! ! ! Me, me, and you.
[Wei Laiding Liu] Ah, I'm so excited! ! ! God! is this real!
Lu Wenxing looked at it for a long time but didn't understand what he wanted to express, so he clicked and opened Weibo.
Not knowing what Wei Ze asked him to read, Lu Wenxing glanced at the private messages on Weibo, except for push, there was no news about Wei Ze.
Let him watch what
[Wei Laiding Liu] Star, we are on the hot search
[ET]Don't daydream at night
Then Wei Ze sent two screenshots.
Lu Wenxing clicked on the first one, which was a screenshot of Weibo trending searches, and the last trending search was circled.
#小哥儿色杀#
Lu Wenxing's heart skipped a beat, and he clicked on the second screenshot.
It's a screenshot from a video.
In the familiar dance studio, Lu Wenxing's light maroon head is in the middle of the four gray heads.
Lu Wenxing: "!"
Really hot searched.
