Ji Chengshu drove a black Buick LaCrosse on the elevated road, made a right turn, and quickly got off the elevated road towards the dormitory of CX Entertainment.
Including Lin Xi who just signed, he now has a total of four artists under his command. Two of them have already been successful in the entertainment industry, and the other has a bright future, so there is nothing to worry about. In the past six months, he has been doing nothing all day long like a long vacation, and he is also considering training another king to practice his skills.
Just a few days ago, He and Shu Shan contacted him suddenly, saying that they wanted to introduce a good seedling to him.
It has to be said that he has heard of Lin Tianxian's great name for a long time.
At the beginning, he was also secretly envious of how that guy Pan Lun signed such a good seedling, but it didn't take long for him to feel thankful that such a top-quality vase was really enough for Pan Lun to worry about.
Originally, he just wanted to make a favor with Shu Shan, and simply signed Lin Tianxian as a way of giving him face. Unexpectedly, He and Shu Shan personally asked the president for an overlord contract.
Naturally, this overlord is not against Lin Xi, but against CX Entertainment.
The contract is only signed for two years, and the liquidated damages are 1 million. There are at least two major dramas every year, and the commission is 28%. By the way, 20% for the company and 80% for Lin Xi.
This is simply taking in an old man for nothing, providing him with food, clothing and warmth every day, and even personally delivering the script, begging his uncle to take over the play!
At first, Ji Chengshu was puzzled by this, but later he remembered that he and Shu Shan were singers under Pan Lun's management before, and he was a little relieved. Presumably, he and Shu Shan bet all their thoughts on Lin Xi in order to do something for the dead Qi Wenyuan.
Fortunately, this kid is not as bad as he imagined, at least he took over Li He's role, and after spending more than a day with him, he feels that this kid is quite reassuring. While heaving a sigh of relief, Ji Chengshu remembered his previous plan to train another king.
Facing the soft and warm sunshine, Ji Chengshu's car easily passed the inspection of the doorman of the apartment and entered the gate.
This is the kid.
Being able to push the number one vase in the entertainment industry to the throne of a first-line star is definitely a super fulfilling thing.
When Ji Chengshu passed a turning and arrived at the bottom of Lin Xi's building, he saw Lin Xi waiting quietly downstairs from a distance, his eyes stayed on the green lawn, and he didn't know what he was looking at.
It was not easy to reverse the car ahead, so he parked the car at the turning, got out of the car and walked towards Lin Xi.
The boy who was called a celestial being was wearing a small dark black suit today, and the tight-fitting trousers made him look even thinner in the wind. The light black shirt buttons were fastened to the top one to lock the slender fair neck, black and white against the background, the skin was dazzlingly white.
The morning sun is golden, sprinkled on the black hair.
Ji Chengshu shouted loudly: "Lin Xi."
The young man who looked like an elf in the sun suddenly came to his senses, and his gaze moved away from the lawn and landed on Ji Chengshu. Her lips, which were as bright as petals, curled up suddenly, and her clear pupils also became bright.
The young man who was walking towards him step by step was like a scorching sun, his whole body was filled with elegance and gentle peace, which seemed different from what he saw yesterday.
Raw jade is dusty, tempered into gold.
For some reason, such a sentence suddenly popped up in Ji Chengshu's mind.
"Ji Chengshu?" Looking at Ji Chengshu's dull expression, Lin Xi naturally knew that this face was to blame again, but he had no choice but to remind him.
Ji Chengshu came back to his senses all of a sudden, his forehead was covered with fine sweat. He brought out a white rose that he bought from a flower shop just now, handed it to Lin Xi, and said, "You have to take the funeral seriously today. Qi Wenyuan is a senior who used to be a manager with you. I've already prepared it for you. You put this flower in front of Qi Tianwang's coffin."
Lin Xi was obviously taken aback when he saw the white rose. After putting away the expression on his face, he silently took the white rose full of thorns, and squeezed the long white rose two inches from the stem with a click. Cut off more than half of the flower stalk, and then carefully remove the remaining spikes little by little.
Ji Chengshu stood aside and watched his movements.
After Lin Xi finished handling everything, he put the budding white rose in his pocket in front of his heart, raised his head and smiled and said to Ji Chengshu, "Let's go."
Qi Wenyuan's funeral venue was a private hall in the suburbs of City B.
The three-storey small building is built with blue bricks and stones, and the other buildings are connected by steel support corridors. The shape is simple and generous, typical of the German Bauhaus architectural style, but it is made of bluestone from the water town of Jiangnan. It also adds a touch of graceful and long rhythmic beauty of Jiangnan water town.
Lin Xi followed Ji Chengshu out of the car, and immediately saw the parking lot full of cars of various colors. They followed the crowd towards the main entrance of the hall.
"Here, you have to pay attention to what you say." Ji Chengshu lowered his voice and reminded Lin Xi.
Lin Xi naturally understood, he nodded, his eyes pretended to casually sweep over everyone present. The two first went to the sign-in office to sign their names, and then walked to the main hall.
"Old Ji." Suddenly, a deep and magnetic male voice sounded from behind them.
Lin Xi looked back when he heard the words, his eyes widened slightly when he saw the person coming, and he quickly hid the surprise in his eyes.
Ji Chengshu was also surprised when he saw the person coming, and then asked, "Zhu Qing, why are you here?"
Zhu Qing raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and asked in dissatisfaction: "Why, I can't come?" After speaking, his eyes swept over Lin Xi, a little surprised but didn't ask.
However, Ji Chengshu noticed his surprised expression, and introduced to him without concealment: "This is Lin Xi, I just signed him the day before yesterday. From now on, he will be a member of our CX, please take care of him in the future."
Only then did Zhu Qing formally look at Lin Xi, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, he looked at Lin Xi with a hint of a smile, and said, "So it's my junior. I'm Zhu Qing, and I have a chance to cooperate in the future."
There is a rule in the entertainment circle - the king does not see the king.
Lin Xi has worked with many people before. Before becoming famous, he worked as a male supporting role and a supporting role, and after becoming famous, he has been the protagonist. Of course, it's not that they didn't do supporting roles for others afterwards, but at least the male protagonists at that time were world-class Uranus superstars at the Hollywood level.
As for Zhu Qing...
Zhu Qing is one of the other two artists under Ji Chengshu. When he first debuted, Lin Xi had already won Shidi, and the two hadn't worked together at that time. Zhu Qing squeezed into the ranks of first-line stars within two years, and won a Shidi within two years.
From then on, Zhu Tianwang and Qi Tianwang were the two aces of CX Entertainment and Tianyu respectively, not to mention cooperation, they didn't even have the chance to speak a few times. Every time they participate in award ceremonies and evening parties, the two also try to meet as little as possible.
After careful calculation, the last conversation seems to have been three years ago.
But in fact, he and Zhu Qing have no personal grievances, and the media hype that "the king doesn't see the king" is just a special arrangement between the companies.
Lin Xi thought for a while and smiled secretly in his heart, then raised his eyes to Zhu Qing, bowed slightly, and said sincerely and modestly: "Hi, senior, please take care of me in the future."
Having been filming for so many years and traveling in the entertainment industry these years, I have definitely seen a lot of beauties. Zhu Qing thinks that she doesn't pay much attention to her appearance. But when he saw the rumored entertainment circle "Lin Tianxian" with his own eyes, he was still stunned. Seeing the other party greet him politely, he felt a sense of comfort unconsciously.
"I'm shooting a movie recently, and I can ask Lao Ji to bring you to study on the spot." Before Zhu Qing could react, the caring words blurted out.
Ji Chengshu watched from the side, wondering why Zhu Qing was so talkative today, but he understood it when he saw his expression, and cursed inwardly: this society that looks at faces.
Although Lin Xi didn't expect Zhu Qing to be so talkative, he was still delighted to be able to go to Zhu Qing's filming scene, and he didn't hide the excitement on his face, and said happily like a stunned young man: " Thank you senior, I will definitely go."
Zhu Qing nodded. The three entered the main hall together.
The door in the center of the main hall has already been opened, and the small doors on both sides are also opened for guests to enter and exit.
Walking into the main hall through the three-meter-high dark iron wood main gate, the first thing you see is the dark black coffin placed in the center of the hall. Drooping, a spiritual flower is tied at the head. The entire coffin was placed on a one-meter-high coffin, covered with small white chrysanthemums on both sides, from the edge of the coffin down to surround the whole coffin.
In front of the satin white spirit flower, there was a 20-inch black and white photo with a black wooden frame on the edge.
The man in the photo has a handsome and elegant face, with sword eyebrows drawn into the temples, starry eyes flying, the corners of his lips curled up and looking forward, with a bright smile, but because of the black and white colors, there is a moment of sadness in the frame.
Ji Chengshu sighed lightly, and said, "I didn't expect Qi Wenyuan to go just like that, alas."
Zhu Qing also lowered his voice, and said in a regretful tone: "It's really a pity."
Lin Xi followed behind them with a calm expression. His gaze swept across the photo placed in the center, and he looked at the closed coffin without stopping. He was a little curious, the body that fell from the 33rd floor must have fallen out of shape, and he wondered if they really put their body in this coffin.
"Congratulations."
"Thanks."
Hearing a familiar voice suddenly, Lin Xi's attention was withdrawn from the coffin surrounded by flowers. He focused his attention and looked at Pan Lun, who was pale at the front of the queue.
Pan Lun was wearing a black mourning dress today, Wangri's hair was combed meticulously with hairspray, and his face was full of fatigue and sadness. There were blue and black marks under his eyes, and he looked very unwell.
Ji Chengshu stepped forward, shook hands with Pan Lun, and said in a low voice, "Mr. Pan, I'm sorry."
A trace of disgust flashed across Pan Lun's face, but he quickly disappeared. Ji Chengshu lowered his head and didn't notice, only Lin Xi who was standing behind Ji Chengshu kept watching with cold eyes. Pan Lun nodded, his voice hoarse: "Thank you."
Ji Chengshu walked up to the coffin, put the white daisy in his hand in front of the large photo, and walked aside.
Lin Xi curled his lips and walked forward. He glanced at Pan Lun's outstretched hand and sneered in his heart. On the surface, he reached out to hold Pan Lun's hand with a very sad expression, and then bent over to Pan Lun's ear. By the side, he lowered his voice and said, "President Pan, I would like to ask for your condolences."
Pan Lun originally felt a little annoyed when he saw Lin Xi, but now he is not in a good mood, so he can only nod his head and say, "Thank you."
Lin Xi sneered in Pan Lun's ear, let go of his hand, and walked to the familiar photo.
He reached out and took the white rose from the left breast pocket, and gently inserted it in the center of the photo. Pan Lun's complexion changed when he saw this, and when he looked up at Lin Xi again, he happened to see him take a white towel from his pocket and wipe his hands vigorously, as if he touched something unclean just now.
Although Pan Lun had known for a long time that Lin Xi had a serious obsession with cleanliness, he was very annoyed when he saw him wipe his hands impatiently after shaking hands with him in front of his face.
If I knew it earlier, I shouldn't have let Lin Xi go so easily. At that time, Lin Xi's unconditional termination of the contract was completely taking advantage of the fire!
Lin Xi didn't care, he didn't even look at Pan Lun, and walked straight to Ji Chengshu's side. Zhu Qing had already left first, only Ji Chengshu was still standing there waiting for Lin Xi.
"Why did Pan Lun's expression look a bit wrong just now? Did he say anything to you?" Ji Chengshu frowned and asked.
Lin Xi shook his head with a smile, and said sarcastically, "No, he's probably overly sad, and his head is a little abnormal."
Ji Chengshu agreed and said: "Everyone in Tianyu is like this." After speaking, he remembered that the person beside him was still a person in Tianyu a few days ago, and added: "In the future, if he wants to trouble you, you can tell Brother Shu Shan to let him He complained to the president."
Lin Xi laughed when he heard this, and stood aside and stopped talking.
After a while, I suddenly heard another name shouted loudly from the sign-in office. Hearing this name, Ji Chengshu and Lin Xi looked at each other and sighed helplessly.
Hearing this name, Pan Lun was also taken aback. He handed over the matter of receiving guests to the side, and went to the entrance of the lobby of the main hall to greet the visitors himself.
Wearing a rare black suit with Shu Shan, he walked slowly step by step into the hall of the mourning hall. His already small face had been shaved a bit due to the extreme thinness, and his cheeks were also thinned due to the loss of flesh, making him look even more haggard.
Pan Lun walked over and said, "Shu Shan, are you okay?"
He Shushan took off the big black sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, revealing a pair of red, bloodshot eyes, and the eyes were still steaming. He looked at Pan Lun and asked blankly, "Mr. Pan, is everything written in the magazine true?"
Upon hearing this sentence, the attention of the rest of the people in the hall was immediately attracted by this side. Many reporters made no secret of the excitement on their faces, and each of them turned on their recorders, waiting for Pan Lun's reply.
Pan Lun's complexion changed slightly, he forced a wry smile, and said, "Well, I didn't expect Wen Yuan to be like this..."
He Shushan was silent for a while, and then said: "If it's true, then I'll apologize to you on behalf of A Yuan." As soon as he finished speaking, He Shushan suddenly bent his back straight, and his upper body was parallel to the ground.
Pan Lun immediately helped Shu Shan and him up, and said again and again: "No... no need, it's me, I'm the one who's sorry for Wen Yuan."
He Shushan looked at Pan Lun calmly, and continued, "If it's not true, then I will definitely find out the truth and return A Yuan's innocence." There was no expression on his pale face, and his voice was calm and unwavering. After a long time, he looked away meaningfully, ignored Pan Lun, turned and walked towards the coffin, leaving behind Pan Lun who was frozen in place.
He Shushan gently placed the bouquet of white roses in his arms in front of the photo, and when he saw the white rose in the center of the lower corner of the photo, he was taken aback, but he didn't say anything. He looked carefully at the familiar smiles of his friends in the photo, and felt even more sad in his heart.
Turning his head abruptly, he made up his mind not to stay any longer.
He and Shu Shan walked up to Ji Chengshu and Lin Xi and stood there, their eyes flushed.
Lin Xi's nails dug into his palm the moment he saw He Shu Shan, and he clenched his lower teeth tightly to keep himself from making a sound.
How did Shu Shan become so thin? How did he get here these days
Originally, when I saw Shu Shan two days ago, he was just a little haggard, but in just two days, how could he become like this. Just standing next to him, you can feel the thinness under the clothes.
Lin Xi gritted his teeth hard, and the rusty smell instantly spread in his mouth.
Why didn't I tell Shu Shan about her rebirth? Don't you believe in Shu Shan
"I'll go back first." A hoarse voice sounded in his ear, Lin Xi was startled, then turned around to look, only to see He Shu Shan covering his face and walking out quickly from another door of the mourning hall.
His mind was already filled with countless self-blame, Lin Xi immediately raised his feet to catch up.
Just as he walked out of the hall of the mourning hall, he suddenly heard someone shouting loudly behind him at the sign-in counter outside the main entrance:
"O... Uno!"
