Don't turn on the wheat lightly

Lin Wei chatted about the live broadcast for a day with peace of mind - he and Lu Yaozhi stayed together until ten o'clock with the publicity team who was urgently arrested and rushed to work overtime, and did not leave until Weibo was officially released.In fact, they can't help there, they just save some time to confirm the feedback.Lu Yaozhi still felt guilty about causing trouble to the program team, and he cooperated with all his strength and included dinner and supper for everyone in the overtime team.

He asked Lin Wei to go back to the dormitory to rest first, but how could Lin Wei leave him here alone? He found a reason that the cafeteria was closed long ago, and he didn't know what to eat when he went back. He wanted to eat something, but Lu Yaozhi looked at him with a look on his face. Seriously, I really couldn't bear to refuse, so I could only agree.

At 10:30, they bid farewell to the publicity team and the director who was relieved to see the feedback data, and returned to the dormitory. On the way, Lu Yaozhi also shared his guess about this matter.

"What?" Lin Wei was really surprised, "You think that illegitimate meal was brought in by your manager?"

Lu Yaozhi seemed very tired. He rubbed the center of his brows and said, "It may not be him, it may be someone in his team, because this is not the first time."

"But—this kind of... is obviously harmful to your interests, why would he...?"

The night outside the window is very dark.Lu Yaozhi stopped and sighed, "It's a long story."

Jack is no longer a rookie manager. He has been working in this industry for more than ten years, but he has never brought out even a worthy artist, until he met Lu Yaozhi.

Although Lu Yaozhi was born in a major, his temper was not very good before. It can be said that he was very bad, and he didn't even notice when he offended others. Face-saving rejected several private invitations, and was threatened to make Lu Yaozhi suffer from the real society, and then for four years, he didn't even appear in a commercial.

After graduating, because of my experience as a student, I also suffered repeated setbacks in auditions. I once thought that I might not be an actor in this life.

At that time, it was Jack who picked him up outside a studio, and decided to sign him based on this face alone.At that time, a second-tier female singer under Jack needed a leading actor for a micro-movie MV. Lu Yaozhi's appearance met the requirements, and he looked like a newcomer who didn't understand anything. Maybe he thought it was easy to handle, so he drew up a contract in a hurry. .Lu Yaozhi was also desperate at the time, having a job and being able to act was already very good for him, but he still hesitated in his heart whether to give up the showbiz. Jack didn't want to miss such a good opportunity, so he let him sign it.

Jack didn't have much hope for him, so the terms of the contract were very loose. Simply put, it was because he didn't expect Lu Yaozhi to be so popular in the future, so Jack's percentage in the contract was very small, which was called a discount. Use superior conditions to retain Lu Yaozhi, and sign it anyway, don't you still let yourself decide?

He didn't expect that Lu Yaozhi would become the first and maybe the last artist in his hands to become popular in the future.What's more, because of my contempt and negligence at the time, in the past four or five years, although Lu Yaozhi's film appointments have continued and his popularity has risen steadily, Jack himself has not been able to make a lot of money—or he is not greedy enough. Brokers, their own earnings are far from enough.

So he started to have a crooked brain.Of course, the ratio set in the contract cannot be changed, so Lu Yaozhi will be given more platforms, promotions, endorsements, cooperation projects with faster money, variety shows, and TV dramas that look like money laundering.Of course, after Lu Yaozhi became popular, he also gained confidence and pushed a lot of unreliable projects. Some time ago, he directly fell out with Jack because of the CP speculation with Jiang Shunsheng.

And he and the people in his team may have hooked up with scalpers, and this is not the first time Lu Yaozhi has suspected it.Before he joined the crew of "Chaos in Chang'an", he was already deeply troubled by scalpers reselling itineraries and privately bringing people to visit the set when he was filming "Unintentional". Many people can easily mix in.However, Xintang Film and Television City, where the crew of "Chaos in Chang'an" is located, is notoriously closed, with strict management and strong supervision, and there are male and female protagonists who are more popular than him in the group, but he is still the only illegitimate child who is haunted by ghosts. Wrapped up, and almost affected the shooting a few times.

It's hard not to suspect Jack.

Later, he asked someone to check, and it turned out that the number in the WeChat account of an account that resold the itinerary was the same as the birthday of one of his life assistants at the time.Under Lu Yaozhi's questioning, the life assistant admitted, and Jack came to promise that he would deal with it, but after a few months, Lu Yaozhi found out that he did not fire this person, but assigned it to another male artist, who was also a little popular just now , the kind that has a certain fan base and is relatively fanatical.

Lu Yaozhi was angry, puzzled and disappointed at the same time.But he is no longer the impulsive and unsophisticated Lu Yaozhi in college. In fact, he has no evidence that this incident must have been instigated by Jack, and it may have been done by the life assistant himself. Jack just thinks that he is an old employee. Are you reluctant to fire him?In this case, he can only stand still.

Until the following hot search incident completely angered Lu Yaozhi, and then today, Lu Yaozhi was sure that he saw Jack in the studio.But he never came to say hello. After the material was leaked, he didn't even make a phone call to express condolences. He didn't know if he was guilty or just didn't care.

For Jack, it is enough for Lu Yaozhi to make money for him, and if he can make more money, it is a day. Anyway, the brokerage contract is about to expire. If we don't seize this last chance to suck some blood, what should we do if Lu Yaozhi turns around and quits?

"Then you want to leave when the contract expires?"

After telling this long story, the two of them had already returned to the dormitory. Lin Wei also looked angry and worried after hearing this. He poured a glass of water for Lu Yaozhi and sighed.

Lu Yaozhi: "...Although I am very grateful for the resources and training they have provided me in the past five years, but if this continues, I must be the first to collapse."

"So are you ready to terminate the contract? I think it's a good thing..."

Lu Yaozhi looked gloomy.

"Originally, I was thinking of renewing the contract with the company and trying to change an agent. But today's incident made me feel that the company may not know about Jack's arrogance, but he is just too lazy to take care of it. So now I am a little hesitant."

"I just want to act quietly and well, but they only care about how much money I can help them make. Maybe the company has the same concept as Jack, but I don't know the current affairs?"

After Lu Yaozhi finished speaking, he took a sip of water, then put down the water glass, and saw that Lin Wei, who was sitting across from him, also lost his face, empathizing with him and "closing himself".

He quickly said: "I said these are just talking to my friends at ordinary times. Don't just think that I am miserable like this! There must be a way for a car to go to the mountain. In fact, some companies have offered me olive branches, absolutely not. If you terminate the contract and lose your job, don't worry, don't show such an expression."

"I originally wanted to say, if you sue the company and get blocked or something, you can come and be an anchor, just come with me," Lin Wei said, "But thinking about it again, if you suddenly quit the circle or stop acting, the saddest thing is Your fans... like my mother, so I still don't advise you to be an anchor."

When he mentioned Mama Lin, Lu Yaozhi couldn't help laughing.Lin Wei continued: "It's okay, Mary, no matter what you choose, I believe there will be many people who will support your choice."

"how about you?"

"Me?" Lin Wei pointed to himself, "Aren't you asking nonsense? Of course I'm definitely on your side."

"I'm still living in the apartment rented by the company. If I'm kicked out, can I live with you?"

"Okay." Lin Wei said smoothly.

After five seconds, he realized: "Wait, don't you usually live in the capital, what does it look like to move to Donghai? I don't believe you can't rent a house anymore!"

Lu Yaozhi pretended to be wronged and said, "Just now you said that you would definitely be on my side, but now you don't even give me a room."

Lin Wei choked speechlessly: "You are the only one who makes sense."

Lu Yaozhi laughed loudly: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. In fact, although I live in an apartment, I have already bought a house in the capital. It is for my mother, but her old man has never wanted to come, saying that the air in the capital is not good. , she would rather stay in her hometown, and I will just move in after the contract is terminated."

Lin Wei was even more speechless, he said: "Look at you, you can buy a house in the capital just a few years after your debut, can Jack not be jealous?"

Lu Yaozhi: "But he already drives a Porsche, I really don't know what else he wants."

Lin Wei: "..."

Lin Wei: "I am the poorest, so I won't say anything."

Lu Yaozhi: "I'll give you money. You start the broadcast now, and I'll give you gifts right away."

Lin Wei quickly refused: "No, thank you, it's getting late, go to sleep."

Lu Yaozhi laughed again, amused by Lin Wei's frightened appearance, and felt much better.
