Recapture the Entertainment Industry
Chapter 32
Xu Zhen has heard of Luo Ding's name. During this period of time, any news involving this name has become very popular on the Internet. When recuperating in the hospital, he occasionally goes online to pay attention to current affairs or entertainment news. , which left some impressions.
He really started to be curious about the other party after Huo Xie temporarily replaced the other party after learning that the Wolong crew had an accident.As the leading film directors in China, Huo Xie and Xu Zhen took completely different routes.What Xu Zhen pursues in filming is depth and conception. Regardless of the subject matter of a film, the analysis of human nature must be classic and profound. The purpose is to get as many awards as possible to gild himself.Huo Xie is good at hype, capturing commercial hotspots, and trying to figure out the audience's psychology. His dramas are all about getting popular and making money.However, under the premise of great popularity and full box office, Huo Xie still received a lot of awards, and never delayed his progress towards the top of the pyramid in the director world.
To be able to have both left and right, Huo Xie relied on his serious and responsible attitude towards his films.His minimum limit is slightly lower than that of Xu Zhen, but if there is no real material, even if someone spends a lot of money behind him, he may not choose the actor who is praised.Luo Ding can catch his eyes, and get a role that occupies such a large proportion of the scene, there must be his advantages.
At the time when his own movie was facing difficulties in starting filming, he met a high-quality and unfamiliar actor. When he was free, he checked the other party's information and found that apart from the movie "Crouching Dragon", the other party had also participated in the industry's leading roles. The well-known curmudgeon director Zheng Kezhen has carefully prepared a large-scale TV series for several years, so he is more and more sure of his guess.
He has basically seen all the photos of Luo Ding that can be found on the Internet, even the photos related to his collaboration album with Pan Yiming. However, when he saw the real person, it was so late at night. The temperament did not match the photo, and he couldn't recognize it for a while.
Luo Ding stood about three steps away from Xu Zhen's wheelchair and let the other party look at him. The expression on his face didn't even change, and he kept a gentle smile from the beginning to the end.
Xu Zhen had an inexplicable sense of familiarity and intimacy with the other party, maybe it was because of the matching temperament, maybe it was the smile on the other party's face that fit his eyes, in short, he had a very good impression of Luo Ding in his heart.
"I've heard about you. You're filming on the crew of Crouching Dragon, right? It's not easy for a newcomer to have such a good opportunity. You're very good."
Luo Ding lowered his eyes calmly, and he didn't seem to be flattered by his praise: "Director Xu praised it."
calm enough.Xu Zhen nodded secretly in his heart, and asked again: "Which company did you sign with?"
"Yaxing Studio."
It's a small entertainment company whose name I haven't heard of.
Xu Zhen nodded to him: "Well, I still have an interview to record tonight, so I won't talk to you about it. If there is a role that suits you in the future, I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate."
"Of course." Luo Ding took a few steps to the side, giving him a seat, his eyes were like a bottomless pool of water, so quiet that there was no ripple.Xu Zhen was pushed slowly towards the TV station building by the driver, Su Shengbai was a few steps behind him, and before leaving, he showed a clear smile to Luo Ding and waved goodbye at the same time.
Luo Ding asked him in a low voice: "Why did he disrespect you just now?"
Thinking that Luo Ding was caring about him, Su Shengbai jumped for joy in his heart for a moment, and a difficult smile appeared on his face: "I'm in a bad mood, anyway, I'm used to it."
He turned around every step he took, his face full of hidden helplessness and reluctance, seeing Luo Ding standing on the same ground and watching him leave expressionlessly, he walked until he was out of sight of the other party before he relaxed.Then he lowered his head slightly, showing a smug smile in a corner where no one could see.Everything is under control.
He quickly walked back to Xu Zhen's side.
Xu Zhen didn't look at him, and lowered his head to fiddle with the mobile phone in his hand, pressing the keyboard from time to time, and the screen saver lit up, which was the image of Cao Dingkun laughing at the camera.
The scholar glanced at the phone blankly, rolled his eyes in his heart, but didn't dare to speak.The hospital just gave Xu Zhen the final diagnosis this morning, and his majestic part has completely become a display from now on.Xu Zhen went crazy in the hospital, throwing everything on the ground as if he was insane, and he went crazy all afternoon before regaining his current composure.Scholar Bai felt a little guilty just now when the other party saw Luo Ding's gentle and pleasant appearance. He always felt that the other party's current normal was like the calm before the storm, giving people a sense of crisis that was about to come.
The sound of the engine stopped behind him, Luo Ding turned his head, just in time to meet Wu Fangyuan's window falling down.
"What's wrong?" Wu Fangyuan stretched his neck and glanced in the direction of the group of people leaving, but he couldn't see what was going on, so he asked Luo Ding for help with puzzled eyes.
Luo Ding shook his head at him, without further explanation, he held the phone in his hand and spun it a few times in a daze, quietly waiting for the bait that would drop later.Sure enough, not long after getting in the car, the bell rang, and he connected within three rings, and Su Shengbai's voice on the other end was soft and light: "I'm sorry, I just left like this."
First show an attitude of indifference and leave gracefully, and then use other methods to let the other party understand that you still care about him. When the fishing rope is loosened and tightened, the prey thinks that they are free, and swims happily in the fishing ground with bait in their mouths. The hook of the animal has been hidden under the sweet bait, and it has pierced into the flesh without being noticed. By the time it feels the pain and breaks free, it is probably already at the time of dying.
Su Shengbai is very good at this trick, but it's a pity that Luo Ding didn't put the bait in his mouth from the beginning: "It's okay, it's your job that matters. Director Xu seems to have a bad temper, didn't he bully you?" He The second half of the sentence was full of questioning and concern, as if if Su Shengbai had really sued him, he would be able to tear Xu Zhen alive right now.
Su Shengbai on the other end said anxiously: "Don't think about it, brother Xu is very good to me, he just has a bad mood recently, so...so..." He hesitated to speak, and he didn't know what happened after that. What kind of hidden meaning is there.
Luo Ding sneered: "Then you can do whatever you want."
He hangs up the phone neatly, feeling refreshed for a while, and when the anger subsides, he casually sends a text message to Su Shengbai, then throws the phone in the back seat of the car, and begins to concentrate on writing to Wu Shengbai. Fangyuan refers to the location of the restaurant where you want to eat.
When Su Shengbai was hung up, he was still a little shocked. In his prediction, Luo Ding at this time should be full of worry and told him to protect himself. Now the response he received was completely different from what he had imagined.
He became a little nervous, and when he thought everything was under control, something unexpected happened, enough to make Su Shengbai, who had a strong desire to control, feel uneasy.But not long after, he received the text message from Luo Ding - "I'll wait for you to think it through."
Just seven words made him feel relieved, and he became serious again after a while.Luo Ding's reaction to this matter exceeded his expectations, which meant that the other party had undergone some changes that he did not know during the years when he was not by his side.Now this Luo Ding's temper is obviously tougher than before. At the "Fashion" dinner party, he blocked him in the corner of the toilet to make a promise. The previous Luo Ding absolutely did not have the courage to do it.
No matter how much it is taken for granted, it seems that it is not enough to use the methods used to deal with Luo Ding in the past to control the current man.It is not a panacea to suppress before you want to promote and then welcome.If you want someone to sink deeper and deeper into a quagmire, you must first convince the other party that the quagmire will not kill him.Su Shengbai suddenly realized that the sense of security he gave Luo Ding seemed to be too little. In this case, at the right time, shouldn't he also show some sincerity to the other party, so that the other party believes that he also has him in his heart... …
He walked into the lounge full of thoughts while holding the phone, and a bone china teacup flew towards him instantly brought him back to his senses.
He dodged quickly, the teacup grazed his ears and hit the wall with a crisp sound, then fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
"...Brother Xu, what's the matter with you?" This scene quickly brought him back to reality. There is still a difficulty that needs to be overcome. Compared with it, Luo Ding's small problem is really insignificant.
"Where have you been?" Xu Zhen's expression was very gloomy. The loose skin on his face and the shocking big bags under his eyes made him look a little more hideous out of thin air. The madness is as creepy as a hyena watching its prey.
As soon as Su Shengbai saw his eyes, he knew that he was thinking wrong, and his heart skipped a beat.When the doctor told Xu Zhen the final diagnosis result in the morning, Xu Zhen was still relatively calm, which made Su Shengbai even think that the other party could accept this reality rationally, so he left the ward door and made a phone call without thinking about it for a while. .As soon as he came back, Xu Zhen went crazy. If he killed him, he must have sold the news that he was dying to others, and lost all reason.
Or else?Is Xu Zhen's decadence really all because of Cao Dingkun?Don't be kidding, Cao Dingkun didn't age so fast when the news of Cao Dingkun's death was just confirmed. The real rapid decline was after the doctor's diagnosis of his body gave an unoptimistic result.No matter for a man of any age, "no" is enough to be called the most unbearable blow.
Xu Zhen stared at him, and suddenly whispered, "Come here."
Su Shengbai leaned over carefully like an obedient pet, squatted down slowly, and stared at the other party with a pair of round almond eyes with concern: "Brother Xu, I really don't have one. I just called Luo Ding, Make sure he's in the car..."
Xu Zhen waved his hand suddenly and punched him hard on the head, the strength in the weak man's hand did not decrease at all.Su Shengbai only felt a heavy "boom" in his head, and his whole body was thrown sideways by the strength. He struggled to get up, held back the buzzing in his head, and held his head up, not daring to Staring at Xu Zhen in confidence.
After Xu Zhen vented, he seemed to have returned to normal, and his eyes calmed down: "In the future, call in front of my face."
Su Shengbai's eyes widened in astonishment, but before he could speak, the driver who had been holding the door quickly came over and pushed Xu Zhen towards the door of the dressing room.
Su Shengbai sat on the ground, and after the dizziness in his head passed, he was able to stand up slowly while leaning on the wall.
The dressing room was empty and quiet, and he was the only one left here.Su Shengbai stared at the young man with a bloodless face in the mirror, his gaze was dull and loose.Then he clenched his fist tightly and showed a smile uglier than crying.
Be patient, endure this period, what awaits him will be an unprecedentedly vast sky.
-
It was almost early morning after dinner, and Luo Ding was yawned by Wu Fangyuan and sent to the dormitory arranged by Yaxing Entertainment for its artists. The not-so-high dormitory building was eerily quiet under the night.
Wu Fangyuan whispered to Luo Ding about the recently arranged work schedule, starting at ten o'clock tomorrow morning, the next five days will be full of busy schedules, including promoting the album with Pan Yiming, several big The TV talk show, Gu Yaxing's decision to release an album for Luo Ding, etc., etc., etc.He is not really popular now, but he is already too busy to do his best.Listening to Wu Fangyuan's voice, Luo Ding recalled in a daze how long ago he was so busy in his previous life, and concluded that he really hadn't been able to have a good rest.
Luo Ding's room was on the third floor, and there was no elevator in the corridor, but the two walked side by side, not too slowly.After entering the door, they turned on the light, and the small room remained the same as it was before they left, but it smelled slightly musty, probably because they hadn't come back for several days, and a layer of dust fell on the table.
As soon as he entered the house, there was a knock on the door.
Both of them were stunned for a moment, Luo Ding signaled Wu Fangyuan to take a look, Wu Fangyuan took a look in front of the cat, turned his head unexpectedly and made a mouth shape: "Hu-xiao-"
whistling?Luo Ding waved his hand towards Wu Fangyuan, and opened the door himself.
As expected, Hu Xiao was standing outside the door. He was wearing a very formal black suit, his dark green bow tie was crooked, his face was flushed, and he leaned crookedly against the wall, smelling of alcohol all over his body.
Luo Ding frowned, and looked out a few times with his probe, but he didn't see Wu Xiao's manager. "Brother Wu Xiao, you went to the wrong door." Luo Ding could only persuade him nicely, hoping that he could go back to his room to rest.
Wu Xiao hiccupped, squinted at Luo Ding, and suddenly hiccupped: "No, I didn't go wrong! You are Luo Ding, I recognized you."
"..." Luo Ding stood where he was, watching the man stiffly after he finished speaking, leaving the wall he was leaning against and staggering towards the room, he could only turn sideways and let him enter the room.Unexpectedly, it was as if a magnet had been placed on Hu Xiao's body. Luo Ding twisted in that direction and he turned his body accordingly. Luo Ding had no choice but to tell Wu Fangyuan, "Call Yang Kangding."
"Yang Kangding!" Wu Xiao let out a laugh as if he had heard some funny joke. He raised his eyes, and his drunken eyes fell on Luo Ding, with an indescribable irony in his smile, "It wasn't Brother Yang before. Did you call me Huan? It’s only been a while, so, I’ve started calling her full name. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha... If you are popular, you have confidence..."
Of course, Luo Ding couldn't argue with a drunk. Wu Fangyuan and Yang Kangding over there said a few words and quickly hung up the phone, showing a helpless smile to Luo Ding: "It is said that I suddenly couldn't find him at the reception after the press conference. He's here, Brother Yang is still looking for him everywhere, and I don't know what method he used to return to the dormitory."
Luo Ding let out a long sigh, and only had four words in his mind - no disaster.
He had no choice but to work together with Wu Wangpeng to move Hu Xiao to the bed. This person doesn't seem to be a good drinker.However, Wu Xiao kept struggling, he seemed to be really drunk, he was yelling something incomprehensible, his face was full of anger.
He lay on the side of the bed and retched a few times, grabbed the quilt and kept repeating: "I was already waiting...he asked me to go to the side and wait for the news..."
Luo Ding, who was unwilling to listen to the muttering, frowned for a while, what was he talking about?
"Now the role has been taken away by you...you became popular before the TV broadcast...it's amazing, isn't it? You can't even spare time to attend my press conference, right? Cut..."
Only then did Luo Ding understand that the other party's resentment was really aimed at him.He thought about it for a while, only to remember that at the audition meeting, the other party was indeed left in the undecided position after the performance, so he thought he became famous by getting the role of Fu Zhu?So he was not reconciled, and felt that he had robbed him of his things?
What is this and what? There will be hundreds of people in an audition, how can he be so sure that without him, the role of Fu Zhu will be in his pocket?Too confident or too low self-esteem?
But the resentment in Wu Xiao's words was obviously not an ordinary level of dissatisfaction. Luo Ding even had the feeling that the other party was brooding over him and that he had taken away his chance to become popular when he uttered the truth after drinking.Before Luo Ding became popular, he was indeed the well-deserved No. [-] brother of Yaxing Entertainment, but because the company is too small, the title of No. [-] brother is much more watery than other entertainment companies.Wind Howl is nothing more than participating in several popular TV dramas, regularly being exposed by mainstream media, and keeping the album sales in the top ten of the best-selling list, which has almost surpassed the standard of being able to reach the second-tier niche.Hu Xiao wants to be popular, it should be said that there are not many entertainers who have entered the entertainment industry who do not want to be popular. Every opportunity is precious to these people who have cut their heads. Jealousy is inevitable.
He sighed, but he didn't feel flustered in his heart, he just felt that this was another messy thing.After Yang Kangding arrived at the scene, he didn't want to say anything more, so he waved his hand and asked the other party to quickly remove this large garbage.
Yang Kangding was about to die of anger. He knew that Wind Howl had a bad temper and impulsive personality, but he never expected that the other party would be able to score two so far!He actually dared to sneak away from the press conference where he was the main character, neither answering the phone nor answering the text messages. If it wasn't for Wu Fangyuan's call, he would have already rushed to the police by now.
Looking helplessly at the man who was still muttering, Yang Kangding sighed.Those reporters are really serious, they must involve Luo Ding from the same company in the press conference.Look what's the question? "Luo Ding, an artist from the same company as you, became popular in Japan because of his participation in Pan Yiming's MV album. His popularity is not inferior to local first-line stars. Are you willing to compete with him in the overseas popularity market?" This is a blatant provocation!
Luo Ding's popularity exceeded all of their expectations, Yang Kangding knew very well that Wind Howl was not a magnanimous person, and Yang Kangding didn't even have to think about how bitter the other party was about Luo Ding's popularity gradually surpassing his own.However, Wind Howl's performance today still disappointed him.After being in the circle for so long, the other party's control of his emotions is still so bad, he can't hide his bad face in front of the camera, and after that, he frequently finds the female reporter who asks questions at the reception.I just dragged the other person to the corner to say a few words of apology, and this guy ran away without a trace.
How does this character work in the entertainment industry...
Now he regrets his short-sightedness in the past very much. If he hadn't done some things to flatter Luo Ding, why would he be so distressed now?
Luo Ding watched Yang Kangding leave with his back on his back, and after closing the door, he smelled the disgusting smell of alcohol.
"Let's go." He picked up the key on the table, and raised his chin to Wu Fangyuan: "All the things you need to bring are ready, and you are going to stay in a hotel outside today. Recently, you have been looking for a house, so you can't live here. .”
These days, the mailbox downstairs can always receive letters from some young artists who live in the same building. Those people who had never seen him before he became popular called Luo Ge very intimately, and even from the crack of the door The photo of Riser writing the phone number is amazing.
The dormitory building is definitely not safe anymore, it is like this now, and there will definitely be more and more similar situations in the future.If the reporter caught him, it would be another unavoidable storm.
-
Gu Yaxing has no objection to Luo Ding moving out of the dormitory building. The dormitory building is his own property that he bought before. The housing prices in the city are not low. Many artists move there to save rent. It just happens to be convenient for him to manage. .With Luo Ding's current popularity, he should have prepared a residence outside like Hu Xiao, but he has been busy recently, so he didn't think about such details.
Sky Media Entertainment paid Luo Ding a commission for the "Secret" promotional activity. The company also took a cut, and this money was more than enough to rent a house for Luo Ding.He was also happy to show kindness when he could win over Luo Ding, so he generously approved a large sum of money directly to Wu Fangyuan. In his words, it was "working so hard, renting a better place to reward myself".
Wu Fangyuan accepted the card after Luo Ding nodded, and whispered thank you.This is the advantage of a small company. A well-known artist even has to be coaxed by the boss, and life will undoubtedly be much more comfortable.
Taking advantage of Luo Ding's current popularity, Gu Yaxing has signed several potential artists. Yaxing Entertainment can be said to be a dead wood, and it is rare to be proud for so many years.Of course he won't forget that all this was brought about. He really didn't put much effort into the work Luo Ding is doing now, and the other party got it by his own ability.Holding the idea of reciprocating love is also the idea of striking while the iron is hot, when the other party is working hard in the TV and film industry, he used as much resources as possible in his hands to start producing an album for Luo Ding.
Don't underestimate singers. Although the status of the domestic showbiz is film circle>television circle>singer circle, the promotion of an artist's popularity by songs is absolutely beyond the reach of the first two.The popularity of the song has naturally promoted the artist's popularity, and the invisible benefits brought about by this result are endless.
More importantly, the current Luo Ding's popularity overseas is far greater than that of domestic artists with the same status as him.How rare this situation is is difficult to summarize in words.Just look at the level of domestic influence of domestic artists who try to enter the international market every year but fail in the end.Overseas, international, and Hollywood, these three words are the lifelong pursuit and dream of most domestic artists.However, this first step to go out is so difficult that it is unimaginable.How many first-line stars have lost their lives outside this blockade, but Luo Ding broke through this bottleneck not long after he stepped on the road of showbiz!
Once an artist is popular abroad, he is like a child who has learned to take steps. No matter whether he runs fast or slow, at least he has the qualifications to walk on the runway.
Music has no borders, this sentence is not a joke.Compared with movies and TV dramas, music with resonant rhythm and melody is the work that can cross cultural differences and be accepted by most people.
Gu Yaxing's ambitions that have been dormant for many years have been awakened by Luo Ding. If he can create a superstar who is famous overseas, then the value of Yaxing Entertainment will rise along with Luo Ding.This inseparable interest relationship made him subconsciously regard Luo Ding's interests as more important than his own.
Glancing secretly at the young man in the rearview mirror who was hurrying to catch up on sleep, the handsome facial features of the other party looked like a painting after they quieted down.Why had he neglected this piece of gold for so long before?Even he himself can't remember what kind of person Luo Ding was in the past. It seems very quiet, right?Always calm and composed, from this point of view, it seems that there is not much difference from the calm person now.
I'm going to meet several important people in a while, so heavy that Gu Yaxing was a little surprised when he got the news that they were willing to join Luo Ding's album production.He no longer dared to imagine how many jaws would be dropped by the production lineup of this album, and it was like a miracle that everything went smoothly.
The Japanese market has been opened, and Koreans have always loved the stinky feet of the Japanese. It may not be as difficult as imagined to enter Korea by relying on the influence of Japan.Not to mention other Southeast Asian countries, together with China, if the three countries with the most international influence in Asia can win, Luo Ding's acting career will definitely be given the green light in the future, unimpeded.
However, it is more important to finish the current album first.
Half an hour's sleep allowed Luo Ding to recover quickly, and his smiling expression was so natural that it was impossible to see that he had only rested for less than six hours after two days.
Shanhai Building, a landmark building in the city, is 120 stories high. When you look up from the ground, you can hardly see the top position.
Triumph Media, Sky Media Entertainment, and Universal Media, the top companies in the industry, all have their headquarters here.Here is the most professional recording studio in the industry, the best dance studio... the best of everything is included here, making this building, in his opinion, out of the original meaning of office.
More importantly, Cao Dingkun in his previous life belonged to this place.As the well-deserved first brother of Global Media, this building is almost the building he set foot in the most when he was in China.
And now, he's back with another identity.
Luo Ding smiled, his eyes were quiet and calm, and at the same time he took steps and stepped on the steps firmly.
He really started to be curious about the other party after Huo Xie temporarily replaced the other party after learning that the Wolong crew had an accident.As the leading film directors in China, Huo Xie and Xu Zhen took completely different routes.What Xu Zhen pursues in filming is depth and conception. Regardless of the subject matter of a film, the analysis of human nature must be classic and profound. The purpose is to get as many awards as possible to gild himself.Huo Xie is good at hype, capturing commercial hotspots, and trying to figure out the audience's psychology. His dramas are all about getting popular and making money.However, under the premise of great popularity and full box office, Huo Xie still received a lot of awards, and never delayed his progress towards the top of the pyramid in the director world.

"I've heard about you. You're filming on the crew of Crouching Dragon, right? It's not easy for a newcomer to have such a good opportunity. You're very good."
Luo Ding lowered his eyes calmly, and he didn't seem to be flattered by his praise: "Director Xu praised it."
calm enough.Xu Zhen nodded secretly in his heart, and asked again: "Which company did you sign with?"
"Yaxing Studio."
It's a small entertainment company whose name I haven't heard of.
Xu Zhen nodded to him: "Well, I still have an interview to record tonight, so I won't talk to you about it. If there is a role that suits you in the future, I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate."
"Of course." Luo Ding took a few steps to the side, giving him a seat, his eyes were like a bottomless pool of water, so quiet that there was no ripple.Xu Zhen was pushed slowly towards the TV station building by the driver, Su Shengbai was a few steps behind him, and before leaving, he showed a clear smile to Luo Ding and waved goodbye at the same time.
Luo Ding asked him in a low voice: "Why did he disrespect you just now?"
Thinking that Luo Ding was caring about him, Su Shengbai jumped for joy in his heart for a moment, and a difficult smile appeared on his face: "I'm in a bad mood, anyway, I'm used to it."
He turned around every step he took, his face full of hidden helplessness and reluctance, seeing Luo Ding standing on the same ground and watching him leave expressionlessly, he walked until he was out of sight of the other party before he relaxed.Then he lowered his head slightly, showing a smug smile in a corner where no one could see.Everything is under control.
He quickly walked back to Xu Zhen's side.
Xu Zhen didn't look at him, and lowered his head to fiddle with the mobile phone in his hand, pressing the keyboard from time to time, and the screen saver lit up, which was the image of Cao Dingkun laughing at the camera.
The scholar glanced at the phone blankly, rolled his eyes in his heart, but didn't dare to speak.The hospital just gave Xu Zhen the final diagnosis this morning, and his majestic part has completely become a display from now on.Xu Zhen went crazy in the hospital, throwing everything on the ground as if he was insane, and he went crazy all afternoon before regaining his current composure.Scholar Bai felt a little guilty just now when the other party saw Luo Ding's gentle and pleasant appearance.

He The second half of the sentence was full of questioning and concern, as if if Su Shengbai had really sued him, he would be able to tear Xu Zhen alive right now.
Su Shengbai on the other end said anxiously: "Don't think about it, brother Xu is very good to me, he just has a bad mood recently, so...so..." He hesitated to speak, and he didn't know what happened after that. What kind of hidden meaning is there.

He hangs up the phone neatly, feeling refreshed for a while, and when the anger subsides, he casually sends a text message to Su Shengbai, then throws the phone in the back seat of the car, and begins to concentrate on writing to Wu Shengbai.

At the "Fashion" dinner party, he blocked him in the corner of the toilet to make a promise. The previous Luo Ding absolutely did not have the courage to do it.
No matter how much it is taken for granted, it seems that it is not enough to use the methods used to deal with Luo Ding in the past to control the current man.It is not a panacea to suppress before you want to promote and then welcome.If you want someone to sink deeper and deeper into a quagmire, you must first convince the other party that the quagmire will not kill him.Su Shengbai suddenly realized that the sense of security he gave Luo Ding seemed to be too little. In this case, at the right time, shouldn't he also show some sincerity to the other party, so that the other party believes that he also has him in his heart... …
He walked into the lounge full of thoughts while holding the phone, and a bone china teacup flew towards him instantly brought him back to his senses.
He dodged quickly, the teacup grazed his ears and hit the wall with a crisp sound, then fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
"...Brother Xu, what's the matter with you?" This scene quickly brought him back to reality. There is still a difficulty that needs to be overcome. Compared with it, Luo Ding's small problem is really insignificant.
"Where have you been?" Xu Zhen's expression was very gloomy. The loose skin on his face and the shocking big bags under his eyes made him look a little more hideous out of thin air. The madness is as creepy as a hyena watching its prey.
As soon as Su Shengbai saw his eyes, he knew that he was thinking wrong, and his heart skipped a beat.When the doctor told Xu Zhen the final diagnosis result in the morning, Xu Zhen was still relatively calm, which made Su Shengbai even think that the other party could accept this reality rationally, so he left the ward door and made a phone call without thinking about it for a while. .As soon as he came back, Xu Zhen went crazy. If he killed him, he must have sold the news that he was dying to others, and lost all reason.
Or else?Is Xu Zhen's decadence really all because of Cao Dingkun?Don't be kidding, Cao Dingkun didn't age so fast when the news of Cao Dingkun's death was just confirmed. The real rapid decline was after the doctor's diagnosis of his body gave an unoptimistic result.No matter for a man of any age, "no" is enough to be called the most unbearable blow.
Xu Zhen stared at him, and suddenly whispered, "Come here."
Su Shengbai leaned over carefully like an obedient pet, squatted down slowly, and stared at the other party with a pair of round almond eyes with concern: "Brother Xu, I really don't have one. I just called Luo Ding, Make sure he's in the car..."
Xu Zhen waved his hand suddenly and punched him hard on the head, the strength in the weak man's hand did not decrease at all.Su Shengbai only felt a heavy "boom" in his head, and his whole body was thrown sideways by the strength. He struggled to get up, held back the buzzing in his head, and held his head up, not daring to Staring at Xu Zhen in confidence.
After Xu Zhen vented, he seemed to have returned to normal, and his eyes calmed down: "In the future, call in front of my face."
Su Shengbai's eyes widened in astonishment, but before he could speak, the driver who had been holding the door quickly came over and pushed Xu Zhen towards the door of the dressing room.
Su Shengbai sat on the ground, and after the dizziness in his head passed, he was able to stand up slowly while leaning on the wall.
The dressing room was empty and quiet, and he was the only one left here.Su Shengbai stared at the young man with a bloodless face in the mirror, his gaze was dull and loose.Then he clenched his fist tightly and showed a smile uglier than crying.
Be patient, endure this period, what awaits him will be an unprecedentedly vast sky.

It was almost early morning after dinner, and Luo Ding was yawned by Wu Fangyuan and sent to the dormitory arranged by Yaxing Entertainment for its artists. The not-so-high dormitory building was eerily quiet under the night.
Wu Fangyuan whispered to Luo Ding about the recently arranged work schedule, starting at ten o'clock tomorrow morning, the next five days will be full of busy schedules, including promoting the album with Pan Yiming, several big The TV talk show, Gu Yaxing's decision to release an album for Luo Ding, etc., etc., etc.He is not really popular now, but he is already too busy to do his best.Listening to Wu Fangyuan's voice, Luo Ding recalled in a daze how long ago he was so busy in his previous life, and concluded that he really hadn't been able to have a good rest.
Luo Ding's room was on the third floor, and there was no elevator in the corridor, but the two walked side by side, not too slowly.After entering the door, they turned on the light, and the small room remained the same as it was before they left, but it smelled slightly musty, probably because they hadn't come back for several days, and a layer of dust fell on the table.
As soon as he entered the house, there was a knock on the door.
Both of them were stunned for a moment, Luo Ding signaled Wu Fangyuan to take a look, Wu Fangyuan took a look in front of the cat, turned his head unexpectedly and made a mouth shape: "Hu-xiao-"
whistling?Luo Ding waved his hand towards Wu Fangyuan, and opened the door himself.
As expected, Hu Xiao was standing outside the door. He was wearing a very formal black suit, his dark green bow tie was crooked, his face was flushed, and he leaned crookedly against the wall, smelling of alcohol all over his body.
Luo Ding frowned, and looked out a few times with his probe, but he didn't see Wu Xiao's manager. "Brother Wu Xiao, you went to the wrong door." Luo Ding could only persuade him nicely, hoping that he could go back to his room to rest.
Wu Xiao hiccupped, squinted at Luo Ding, and suddenly hiccupped: "No, I didn't go wrong! You are Luo Ding, I recognized you."
"..." Luo Ding stood where he was, watching the man stiffly after he finished speaking, leaving the wall he was leaning against and staggering towards the room, he could only turn sideways and let him enter the room.Unexpectedly, it was as if a magnet had been placed on Hu Xiao's body. Luo Ding twisted in that direction and he turned his body accordingly. Luo Ding had no choice but to tell Wu Fangyuan, "Call Yang Kangding."
"Yang Kangding!" Wu Xiao let out a laugh as if he had heard some funny joke. He raised his eyes, and his drunken eyes fell on Luo Ding, with an indescribable irony in his smile, "It wasn't Brother Yang before. Did you call me Huan? It’s only been a while, so, I’ve started calling her full name. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha... If you are popular, you have confidence..."
Of course, Luo Ding couldn't argue with a drunk. Wu Fangyuan and Yang Kangding over there said a few words and quickly hung up the phone, showing a helpless smile to Luo Ding: "It is said that I suddenly couldn't find him at the reception after the press conference. He's here, Brother Yang is still looking for him everywhere, and I don't know what method he used to return to the dormitory."
Luo Ding let out a long sigh, and only had four words in his mind - no disaster.
He had no choice but to work together with Wu Wangpeng to move Hu Xiao to the bed. This person doesn't seem to be a good drinker.However, Wu Xiao kept struggling, he seemed to be really drunk, he was yelling something incomprehensible, his face was full of anger.
He lay on the side of the bed and retched a few times, grabbed the quilt and kept repeating: "I was already waiting...he asked me to go to the side and wait for the news..."
Luo Ding, who was unwilling to listen to the muttering, frowned for a while, what was he talking about?
"Now the role has been taken away by you...you became popular before the TV broadcast...it's amazing, isn't it? You can't even spare time to attend my press conference, right? Cut..."
Only then did Luo Ding understand that the other party's resentment was really aimed at him.He thought about it for a while, only to remember that at the audition meeting, the other party was indeed left in the undecided position after the performance, so he thought he became famous by getting the role of Fu Zhu?So he was not reconciled, and felt that he had robbed him of his things?
What is this and what? There will be hundreds of people in an audition, how can he be so sure that without him, the role of Fu Zhu will be in his pocket?Too confident or too low self-esteem?
But the resentment in Wu Xiao's words was obviously not an ordinary level of dissatisfaction. Luo Ding even had the feeling that the other party was brooding over him and that he had taken away his chance to become popular when he uttered the truth after drinking.Before Luo Ding became popular, he was indeed the well-deserved No. [-] brother of Yaxing Entertainment, but because the company is too small, the title of No. [-] brother is much more watery than other entertainment companies.Wind Howl is nothing more than participating in several popular TV dramas, regularly being exposed by mainstream media, and keeping the album sales in the top ten of the best-selling list, which has almost surpassed the standard of being able to reach the second-tier niche.Hu Xiao wants to be popular, it should be said that there are not many entertainers who have entered the entertainment industry who do not want to be popular. Every opportunity is precious to these people who have cut their heads. Jealousy is inevitable.
He sighed, but he didn't feel flustered in his heart, he just felt that this was another messy thing.After Yang Kangding arrived at the scene, he didn't want to say anything more, so he waved his hand and asked the other party to quickly remove this large garbage.
Yang Kangding was about to die of anger. He knew that Wind Howl had a bad temper and impulsive personality, but he never expected that the other party would be able to score two so far!He actually dared to sneak away from the press conference where he was the main character, neither answering the phone nor answering the text messages. If it wasn't for Wu Fangyuan's call, he would have already rushed to the police by now.
Looking helplessly at the man who was still muttering, Yang Kangding sighed.Those reporters are really serious, they must involve Luo Ding from the same company in the press conference.Look what's the question? "Luo Ding, an artist from the same company as you, became popular in Japan because of his participation in Pan Yiming's MV album. His popularity is not inferior to local first-line stars. Are you willing to compete with him in the overseas popularity market?" This is a blatant provocation!
Luo Ding's popularity exceeded all of their expectations, Yang Kangding knew very well that Wind Howl was not a magnanimous person, and Yang Kangding didn't even have to think about how bitter the other party was about Luo Ding's popularity gradually surpassing his own.However, Wind Howl's performance today still disappointed him.After being in the circle for so long, the other party's control of his emotions is still so bad, he can't hide his bad face in front of the camera, and after that, he frequently finds the female reporter who asks questions at the reception.I just dragged the other person to the corner to say a few words of apology, and this guy ran away without a trace.
How does this character work in the entertainment industry...
Now he regrets his short-sightedness in the past very much. If he hadn't done some things to flatter Luo Ding, why would he be so distressed now?
Luo Ding watched Yang Kangding leave with his back on his back, and after closing the door, he smelled the disgusting smell of alcohol.
"Let's go." He picked up the key on the table, and raised his chin to Wu Fangyuan: "All the things you need to bring are ready, and you are going to stay in a hotel outside today. Recently, you have been looking for a house, so you can't live here. .”
These days, the mailbox downstairs can always receive letters from some young artists who live in the same building. Those people who had never seen him before he became popular called Luo Ge very intimately, and even from the crack of the door The photo of Riser writing the phone number is amazing.
The dormitory building is definitely not safe anymore, it is like this now, and there will definitely be more and more similar situations in the future.If the reporter caught him, it would be another unavoidable storm.
-
Gu Yaxing has no objection to Luo Ding moving out of the dormitory building. The dormitory building is his own property that he bought before. The housing prices in the city are not low. Many artists move there to save rent. It just happens to be convenient for him to manage. .With Luo Ding's current popularity, he should have prepared a residence outside like Hu Xiao, but he has been busy recently, so he didn't think about such details.
Sky Media Entertainment paid Luo Ding a commission for the "Secret" promotional activity. The company also took a cut, and this money was more than enough to rent a house for Luo Ding.He was also happy to show kindness when he could win over Luo Ding, so he generously approved a large sum of money directly to Wu Fangyuan. In his words, it was "working so hard, renting a better place to reward myself".
Wu Fangyuan accepted the card after Luo Ding nodded, and whispered thank you.This is the advantage of a small company. A well-known artist even has to be coaxed by the boss, and life will undoubtedly be much more comfortable.
Taking advantage of Luo Ding's current popularity, Gu Yaxing has signed several potential artists. Yaxing Entertainment can be said to be a dead wood, and it is rare to be proud for so many years.Of course he won't forget that all this was brought about. He really didn't put much effort into the work Luo Ding is doing now, and the other party got it by his own ability.Holding the idea of reciprocating love is also the idea of striking while the iron is hot, when the other party is working hard in the TV and film industry, he used as much resources as possible in his hands to start producing an album for Luo Ding.
Don't underestimate singers. Although the status of the domestic showbiz is film circle>television circle>singer circle, the promotion of an artist's popularity by songs is absolutely beyond the reach of the first two.The popularity of the song has naturally promoted the artist's popularity, and the invisible benefits brought about by this result are endless.
More importantly, the current Luo Ding's popularity overseas is far greater than that of domestic artists with the same status as him.How rare this situation is is difficult to summarize in words.Just look at the level of domestic influence of domestic artists who try to enter the international market every year but fail in the end.Overseas, international, and Hollywood, these three words are the lifelong pursuit and dream of most domestic artists.However, this first step to go out is so difficult that it is unimaginable.How many first-line stars have lost their lives outside this blockade, but Luo Ding broke through this bottleneck not long after he stepped on the road of showbiz!
Once an artist is popular abroad, he is like a child who has learned to take steps. No matter whether he runs fast or slow, at least he has the qualifications to walk on the runway.
Music has no borders, this sentence is not a joke.Compared with movies and TV dramas, music with resonant rhythm and melody is the work that can cross cultural differences and be accepted by most people.
Gu Yaxing's ambitions that have been dormant for many years have been awakened by Luo Ding. If he can create a superstar who is famous overseas, then the value of Yaxing Entertainment will rise along with Luo Ding.This inseparable interest relationship made him subconsciously regard Luo Ding's interests as more important than his own.
Glancing secretly at the young man in the rearview mirror who was hurrying to catch up on sleep, the handsome facial features of the other party looked like a painting after they quieted down.Why had he neglected this piece of gold for so long before?Even he himself can't remember what kind of person Luo Ding was in the past. It seems very quiet, right?Always calm and composed, from this point of view, it seems that there is not much difference from the calm person now.
I'm going to meet several important people in a while, so heavy that Gu Yaxing was a little surprised when he got the news that they were willing to join Luo Ding's album production.He no longer dared to imagine how many jaws would be dropped by the production lineup of this album, and it was like a miracle that everything went smoothly.
The Japanese market has been opened, and Koreans have always loved the stinky feet of the Japanese. It may not be as difficult as imagined to enter Korea by relying on the influence of Japan.Not to mention other Southeast Asian countries, together with China, if the three countries with the most international influence in Asia can win, Luo Ding's acting career will definitely be given the green light in the future, unimpeded.
However, it is more important to finish the current album first.
Half an hour's sleep allowed Luo Ding to recover quickly, and his smiling expression was so natural that it was impossible to see that he had only rested for less than six hours after two days.
Shanhai Building, a landmark building in the city, is 120 stories high. When you look up from the ground, you can hardly see the top position.
Triumph Media, Sky Media Entertainment, and Universal Media, the top companies in the industry, all have their headquarters here.Here is the most professional recording studio in the industry, the best dance studio... the best of everything is included here, making this building, in his opinion, out of the original meaning of office.
More importantly, Cao Dingkun in his previous life belonged to this place.As the well-deserved first brother of Global Media, this building is almost the building he set foot in the most when he was in China.
And now, he's back with another identity.
Luo Ding smiled, his eyes were quiet and calm, and at the same time he took steps and stepped on the steps firmly.
