endless city

"SOS!!!!"

A distress letter followed by four exclamation points, Xu Shaoqian frowned after receiving the message, and immediately rushed to the upstairs office as quickly as possible, but saw An Yan just coming out of Zhou Bizhen's office, and said with a smile: "Yes, Mr. Zhou!"

Xu Shaoqian walked up to him suspiciously, and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"

An Yan turned around and said, "It's okay, my mother is in a good mood today, and she didn't scold me a word."

Xu Shaoqian's face darkened, "Then what is this text message you sent?"

An Yan looked at the SOS and four exclamation marks on the screen that Xu Shaoqian handed over, and was taken aback for a moment, "I remember I didn't send you a text message..." After thinking for a while, he said, "Probably because I was too excited just now and pressed the wrong button. gone?"

Xu Shaoqian looked at him silently.

An Yan patted Xu Shaoqian's shoulder with a smile, "Let's go first, I'll treat you to dinner another day."

Looking at the back of him and his manager walking away together, Xu Shaoqian couldn't help clenching the fingers on his side—fortunately, he was so frightened by a series of exclamation marks that his heart almost stopped beating, so he rushed upstairs in one breath, but ended up saying something with a smile on his face. "I pressed the wrong button under excitement"...?

It wasn't until An Yan's back disappeared at the end of the corridor that Xu Shaoqian sighed lightly, calmed down, turned around and knocked on Zhou Bizhen's door.

Zhou Bizhen was drinking coffee. When she heard the knock on the door, she put down her cup and said loudly, "Come in."

It was Xu Shaoqian who came in, and it was the first time he took the initiative to find the office. Zhou Bizhen pointed to the chair in front of him, and motioned for Xu Shaoqian to sit down, "Do you have anything to do with me?"

Xu Shaoqian sat across from the desk and said in a low voice: "Mr. Zhou, there is something I want to tell you in advance. I plan to quit the entertainment industry after filming Endless 2 next year, and it will be before Christmas at the latest."

Zhou Bizhen was a little surprised, "Retire? Why?"

"Fourth Uncle asked me to go home and help take care of the Xu family's business."

Zhou Bizhen fell silent.With the elder brother An Luo in the An family, An Yan naturally doesn't have to worry about the family business, but the Xu family is different. Although Xu Zizheng also has a son Xu Shaobai, Xu Shaobai has been weak and sick since he was a child. People who are not suitable as heirs of the family.

On the contrary, Xu Shaoqian, as the eldest grandson of the Xu family's generation, has a personality and appearance very similar to Xu Zizheng when he was young, and acts decisively. It is undoubtedly the best choice for him to take over the Xu family's business.Although he knew that Xu Shaoqian would leave the entertainment industry sooner or later, he never expected that he would choose this time when his popularity was at its peak.

Zhou Bizhen couldn't help but frowned, "I know your difficulties, but you are only 27 years old now, and your fourth uncle is still so young, you can definitely stay in the entertainment industry for a few more years. You and An Yan were sent to the United States for development."

Xu Shaoqian smiled and said: "Thank you for your kindness, but I have already decided on this matter. My contract with Hua An just expires next year, and I will not renew it at that time... You also know that the jade business does not happen overnight. What can be learned, betting on stones, and appreciating them all require long-term accumulation of experience, and the sooner you enter the industry, the better."

Zhou Bizhen thought for a while and said: "Well, you are right. The Xu family has a great career. You are the eldest son of the Xu family. You should go back and help. If you can tell me in advance to prove that you believe in me, of course I will respect it. Your wish. Next year, I will help you do the final finishing touches, even if you leave, try not to leave any regrets."

Xu Shaoqian nodded: "Thank you, Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Bizhen paused, then changed the subject: "I heard that the old man punished An Yan yesterday, and you went to An's house to rescue him?"

"Well, I just happened to deliver a mobile phone to An Yan."

Zhou Bizhen smiled and said: "All these years, I have noticed your care for An Yan. An Yan has been naughty since he was a child, always loves to cause trouble, and there are not many close friends around him. It is rare that you have been helping him. You grow up together Da, and now they are artists under the same company, it is of course the best thing to be able to take care of each other."

Xu Shaoqian could hear Zhou Bizhen's meaning, obviously she was trying to win allies for her son, but she probably didn't expect that the man in front of her would only care and care about her son more than she did, not less than her.

Xu Shaoqian smiled, looked up at her, and said seriously: "Aunt Zhen, don't worry, as long as An Yan has difficulties within my ability, I, Xu Shaoqian, will definitely be obliged."

-

At 7 o'clock in the evening, in the dressing room at the backstage of the Variety Channel's live broadcast——

An Yan was stretching his limbs and sitting comfortably on the swivel chair, beside him were two young girls busy around him, one was a makeup artist who was applying makeup to him, and the other was thinking about what kind of look to make for him. hairstyle.

An Yan smiled and enjoyed the service of a group of people, and occasionally said a few jokes to adjust the atmosphere: "Hey, Xiaozhuang, I haven't seen you for a few days, why are you getting fat, did you go to eat and drink and forget to control yourself?" Have you eaten enough?"

Xiao Zhuang grimaced, "Am I so fat?"

An Yan waved his hand and said, "This is just right, you used to be as thin as a zombie in an apocalyptic movie."

Chang Lin rolled his eyes at the side, "What kind of metaphor is this..." Xiao Zhuang rolled his eyes and said, "An Yan's Chinese must have been taught by a math teacher." An Yan said with a smile: "I don't seem to have learned Chinese, right?"

In a relaxed and happy atmosphere, the make-up artist and stylist rushed to work quickly. Soon, An Yan's look was finalized. Everyone looked at the completely new and handsome An Yan, and immediately let out a burst of admiration.

The show is about to start, and the field controller has come to the backstage to urge several times. Chang Lin hurriedly dragged An Yan to the studio, and whispered in his ear: "This interview program has always been famous for its sharp questions, and we will deal with it later. .”

An Yan smiled and said, "Got it."

The opening title of the show has already started, and the host Yu Xiyao's clear voice came from the ear: "Good evening, audience friends, welcome to the starry show! Tonight, our program team is honored to invite a weight A high-level guest, he is our popular little heavenly king——An Yan!"

"Welcome An Yan!"

Amidst the warm applause, An Yan stepped onto the stage, and everyone felt their eyes light up——

Today, he is wearing a pair of brown slim-fit trousers with an off-white solid-color sweater on his upper body. He is dressed in a simple and handsome outfit. He is simply the most perfect prince charming in the hearts of countless girls.Coupled with a slender figure, handsome eyebrows, and a slightly raised smile on his lips, not to mention killing countless loyal fans as soon as he appeared on the stage, even passers-by who had no feelings for him had to admire... This guy's appearance is really amazing. So handsome.

"Good evening everyone, I'm An Yan." Introduced simply, politely bowed slightly to the audience, then turned around and extended his hand to shake hands with the host to say hello. The etiquette is almost impeccable.

In the studio of the TV station——

"The ratings have started to skyrocket! It was 1.8 just now, but it soared to 3.2 as soon as An Yan appeared!" the staff who was counting the ratings said excitedly.

"Very good! Ask Xiyao to come up with plan A." The woman stared at the screen in the director's room, raised her lips slightly, and said calmly, "Our show has always been known for its sharp questions, and we can't change the style just for him! If you dare to come, you should be prepared to be asked and have nothing to say!"

Studio scene——

Yu Xiyao smiled and said, "An Yan, we all know that you won the best newcomer award not long ago, congratulations."

An Yan said politely: "Thank you."

"Is this movie a collaboration with Xu Shaoqian?"

"Yes."

"Xu Shaoqian is the Best Actor for three consecutive times. You are a newcomer to the film industry just now. Do you think that this award was largely obtained with his help?"

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense, and some people in the audience began to gloat. It was obvious that the host was saying that An Yan had no skills, and that he could only win the award by hugging the thigh of Best Actor Xu.

An Yan's expression remained the same, he tilted his head seriously and thought for a while, then nodded with a smile, and said, "Yes, Shaoqian has indeed helped me the most...we are the best partners! "

After a pause, he turned to the camera again and said sincerely: "By the way, I was too excited at the award ceremony, so I forgot to thank Xu Shaoqian. Today, I will take this opportunity to say to Xu Shaoqian by the way... Thank you! Thank you for always Help me. In the sequel of Endless City, we will continue to cooperate, and hope to have a happy cooperation at that time!"

There was a burst of warm applause at the scene.

He was so calm, but the host couldn't hit him with this topic again. The host was silent for a second, then smiled and said: "I think everyone is looking forward to your performance with Shaoqian in the sequel. By the way, come on." All the guests on our show will talk about their family situation, can An Yan tell us briefly?"

"No problem." An Yan said with a smile, "I have many good family members. My grandpa is stubborn and serious. Every time I make a mistake, he will beat me mercilessly, but I know that he is actually very serious. It hurts me. My father has a gentle personality, is very kind to the younger generation, and is very serious about his work. He often works overtime and forgets to eat. My mother is more powerful. She is a typical strong woman. I wish I had never been born."

"In addition, I have three brothers. The eldest brother graduated from the business school of a prestigious university. The third brother is a good painter. The fourth brother is an excellent soldier."

"There are too many children in the family, and one of them always has to be the bottom one. Among the four brothers in my family, unfortunately, I am the bottom one. Fortunately, they don't dislike me, especially my brother, who treats me very well."

Seeing that An Yan had easily fooled the originally sharp and sensitive topic, the host couldn't help but interrupt him, "It is said that your father is the CEO of Hua'an Hotel, and your mother is the boss of Hua'an Entertainment Group, the brokerage company where you work. ?”

An Yan nodded: "That's right."

"Then what do you think is the difference between you and people born in ordinary families?"

An Yan said calmly: "My parents' work is different from that of many people's parents. They are richer than many people's parents... But, to me, they are just my most loving father. And the toughest mom ever."

An Yan paused, smiled brightly at the camera, and said clearly: "No matter what their status or status outside, they are just my most cherished family members. It is my responsibility to have these family members." I am the luckiest thing. I am as proud of my family as you are.”
