On this day, Yin Chang went to Xinxing Entertainment for a drama training class, and stopped by Yao Manhuai's office, hoping to chat with her.
"Come in and have a seat." Yao Manhuai greeted him to sit down, then took out a small gift box from the drawer and gave it to him, "Here, the late 'birthday present' - I bought it a long time ago, I wanted Xiao Lu to bring it to you, think about it or personally It’s more suitable for you, but I didn’t expect it to be delayed until now.”
Both of them are busy with work, and Lu Lingjuan takes care of Yin Chang's affairs on weekdays. Yao Manhuai and Yin Chang mostly communicate by phone, and they haven't seen each other for more than a month.
"I heard Mr. Xu said that they celebrated your birthday during the filming of the show?" Yao Manhuai asked.
"It happened last month, it was at the place where the third episode aired the day before yesterday." Yin Chang glanced at the Hermès logo, and judging by the size of the box, it might be cufflinks or other small items.
"Time flies so fast, you guys should be filming the last episode of "Superstar Life" tomorrow, right?" Yao Manhuai brewed a pot of black tea, brought it over and asked with a smile, "How do you feel? Do you regret accepting this variety show?"
Yin Chang said honestly: "There are a lot of troubles, but there are also gains."
Yao Manhuai raised her eyebrows: "At least your relationship with Shao Junling has improved a lot, right? I also found time to watch part of the first two episodes. I think he is very attached to you and treats you very well."
"Yeah." Yin Chang admitted, took a sip of tea, and said, "However, Shao Junling's current popularity always makes me a little worried."
"Worried about him being harassed in the future?" Yao Manhuai asked.
"Yes..." It has only been aired for three episodes now, and Shao Junling's popularity and topicality on the Internet have risen. Although this also confirmed the original prediction of the program director, after all, Shao Junling will return to campus after filming. Yin Chang is worried about him. Subsequent life will be affected by this.
"Deyin will have special protection measures for special students. Junling is usually at the school's gymnasium at three o'clock and one line. After he starts school, the program will continue to be broadcast for a while. To be on the safe side, I will let Xiaolu replace him. Arrange for a bodyguard to pick him up with the driver, so you don't have to worry too much."
"Okay." Yin Chang nodded, "Aunt Yao, can I discuss something with you?"
Yao Manhuai: "Tell me."
Yin Chang looked at Yao Manhuai, and said seriously: "I hope you can tell me the reason for any decision you make about me in the future, and don't keep it from me."
Yao Manhuai was taken aback, and said, "Why do you say that all of a sudden?"
"Mi Xiu said, you blocked a lot of messy things behind my back, protected me a bit too much, and made me look like a..." The word used to describe him made Yin Chang feel a little embarrassed to say, "Like a silly white sweet..."
Yao Manhuai laughed: "Xiao Chang, I didn't hide it from you on purpose. Do you still remember the time you came back to see me just after Chinese New Year this year and told me nervously that you didn't want to bring Shao Junling to the parent-child variety show?"
Yin Chang: "Huh?"
Yao Manhuai: "I thought you might be under too much pressure at the time, so I decided to hide some things from you, just to make you feel at ease."
Yin Chang frowned: "But this time you hid it from me, which actually made me even more uneasy. If you had told me earlier that you had such an agreement with Mi Xiu, I wouldn't be unable to understand."
"But this kind of feeling is also based on you getting to know Mi Xiu, isn't it?" Yao Manhuai refused to budge, "If you haven't met this person before, let me tell you, I want you to tie him up for hype, can you accept it? ?”
Yin Chang was stopped by the question, indeed, he might feel that something was wrong.
Yao Manhuai comforted him and said, "Xiao Chang, I hope you can trust me. I have been in this industry for more than 20 years, and I am definitely more professional than you."
Yin Chang lowered his eyes and was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Aunt Yao, it's not that I don't believe in you, I have always respected you and respected your opinions. But I still hope that I can be fully informed about every step of my development. Right and decision. Just like last year, I wanted to compete with Wang Chen for VE endorsement. Although you suggested that it might offend Wang Chen, I decided to take the initiative to fight for it. Later, I was unexpectedly favored by Luca. Si Wenqi's BG as the spokesperson, this thing makes me feel very fulfilled. But if you arrange everything for me, I will feel that any achievements I get are meaningless, and I will feel like It's a... a puppet manipulated by others, it can never grow... "
Yao Manhuai was dumbfounded: "...how could it be?"
Yin Chang looked up at her, and said firmly: "Aunt Yao, I am already an adult, I have my own judgment on things, if I make a wrong judgment, then let me learn from experience, so that I can I have a deeper sense of participation... When I decided to enter this industry, I also wanted to know more about this industry, so that I could take over my father's business."
Yao Manhuai: "It seems that Mi Xiu talked to you a lot."
Yes, what Yin Changgang said are all insights after communicating with Mi Xiu.
Yao Manhuai nodded: "I know what you mean."
Seeing Yao Manhuai's expressionless face, Yin Chang said something serious to her: "Mi Xiu said that he will have several tours starting in October and wants to invite me as a special guest."
Yao Manhuai: "Do you want to go?"
Yin Chang: "I want to hear your opinion first."
Yao Manhuai: "At present, his popularity is higher than yours. Inviting you to be a special guest is a kind of popularity bonus for you. The advantages outweigh the disadvantages. But there is nothing good in this circle. In the long run, if he makes friends with you, It’s definitely good for his own development.”
Yin Chang nodded: "Okay, I'll go."
It was rare for Yao Manhuai to see him so straightforward, and subconsciously said: "Is it because he posted that Weibo to help you clarify in disguise?... It was just a Weibo, and he could sell you a favor with a flick of his finger, but you have Didn't you think that he could get more value from you in exchange?"
Yin Chang smiled. What Mi Xiu gave him was far more than that. The man also guided him to recognize his own direction.
"I think he is a friend worth making," Yin Chang said, "If there is value in me that he can use, I am willing to be used by him."
Yao Manhuai: "..."
After that, the two chatted briefly about the arrangements after the variety show ended, and Yin Chang went back first.
At this moment, Yao Manhuai, who was still in the office, had a look of frustration in his eyes.
She sighed softly. This time when Yin Chang came to her, she saw obvious changes in him. She should be happy for Yin Chang, but she couldn't be happy—just like all adults who see their children grow up and decide to leave themselves At that moment, I was always inexplicably lost.
While in a daze, the phone on the desk rang.
"Mr. Yao..." is an internal call from the PR department, "You go offline."
"What's the matter?" Yao Manhuai answered the phone while sitting down in front of the computer, sliding the mouse to release from sleep.
"A leaking post related to Shao Junling appeared on the Internet. We are not sure how to deal with it now, so I came to ask for your opinion."
"Whistleblower post?" Yao Manhuai was taken aback, seeing that his subordinates had already sent screenshots and summed up the contents of the post.
It was an article posted on the "Superstar Life" post bar, titled "Shao Junling's real identity?" ": "I was a little shocked when I saw this kid on TV recently. I remember that the kid's original name was Shao Jun. His mother was a murderer. She killed his father and then committed suicide. This incident was very famous in our village two years ago. According to the information, this kid's appearance and age match Shao Jun, why did he suddenly become a star after a few years?"
The name of the poster was z1989z, and his subordinates analyzed according to the posting record of his online profile that this person was an ordinary netizen.
But most of the comments below the post are scolding him, saying that he is using this kind of nonsense to make things popular, and he will die badly. Some people say that he casually uses other people's deeds on Shao Junling just to catch people's attention. , extremely hateful.
These vicious remarks angered the poster. He later replied swearingly that he would find evidence to prove it. He also said that if people in his village were allowed to watch this program, they would most likely recognize Shao Junling.
Years of workplace intuition and Shao Junling's mysterious identity made Yao Manhuai feel that this matter was not easy. After all, the content posted by the poster at the beginning did not seem to be carefully edited, and the tone of the text did not have that kind of directional guidance. It's like a passerby is casually expressing his opinion.
Due to the recent high popularity of Shao Junling, this post bar article has been reposted by some marketing accounts, which has caused a small range of reposts and discussions. Fortunately, the posting time is still short, and it has not attracted too much attention.
Yao Manhuai hurriedly asked the public relations department to find a way to delete the post first, and then ordered: "See if you can get in touch with the poster, with a better tone and attitude, and ask about the specific situation."
At the same time that Yao Manhuai was dealing with this matter, other people in the industry also saw this post. These people are the paparazzi in the circle, and one of them happened to be Luo Chao, the Kuaigou entertainment reporter who broke the scandal about Yin Dong's illegitimate child.
Luo Chao, who has a keen sense of scandals in the industry, discovered this leaking post earlier than the people from New Star Entertainment, and was trying to get in touch with the owner of the post.
The poster named "z1978z" is just an ordinary worker who works as a delivery boy in a big city.
He has been busy all day, and as soon as he logged into the post bar at night, he saw hundreds of private messages—without thinking about it, he knew that most of these private messages were to scold him. After so many insults, he was suffocated.
When delivering food during the day, he was still racking his brains on how to get Shao Jun's real information and post it so that he could slap those stupid netizens in the face.
But the Shao family has been completely deserted since the murder incident that shocked the whole village seven years ago, and no one knows where that Shao Jun went. If it is just to get angry with netizens, it is really naive to leave work and go back to my hometown to find evidence that may not be found at all.
He secretly thought, Shao Junling is already a star now, and he is no match for a commoner, so he is already planning to give up.
... Hey, Bai has suffered so much scolding.
Just as he was depressed, he saw a few private letters from entertainment reporters mixed with a bunch of insulting words.
He opened one casually—
"Hi z1989z, I'm Luo Chao, a reporter from Dongshi Entertainment. I'm very interested in seeing you post about Shao Junling's real identity in the post bar. I believe your revelation is true. I want to offer a high price to do something about Shao Junling." 'In-depth interview, I hope you will reply me as soon as possible after seeing it, mobile phone xxxx, Q-Qxxxxx, email xxxxx"
[Interlude]
After coming out of Yao Manhuai's office, Yin Chang secretly clenched his fists: For the first time, he felt that he had won the negotiation with Yao Manhuai, yay!
