The actor's father who ran away from home

"Don't refuse like that, think carefully before replying."

Zhou Li's tone was full of envy. "Brother, you really have a physique that can be popular. Just after you terminated the contract, you were approached by such a big-name agent."

Many people in Tiancheng secretly felt that Huo Bai had a backer, otherwise how could Chen Han, who has such a tough style, obediently agree to terminate the contract.That large liquidated damages is not something ordinary people can afford.

Zhou Li never mentioned it to him.With Huo Bai's character, he wouldn't pay too much attention to these gossip.He didn't even take care of the account with 200 million fans after the contract was terminated. He just removed the word "Tiancheng Entertainment Artist" in the profile, seeing the fans keep losing.

However, Zhou Li was dubious about the rumors.If there was a backstage, why Huo Bai was forced to participate in variety shows in the first place, he knew the situation best at that time.He asked once how he solved it, and Huo Bai only said flatly that "I met a nobleman".

Could it be that Gao Xixi was also introduced by the "noble man", right?But if this is the case, why bother to ask for the phone number from me?Zhou Li felt puzzled.Surrounding Huo Bai is like a bunch of mysteries.

Huo Bai hung up the phone and started searching the Internet for information about Gao Xixi.

He had heard the name before, but he couldn't connect with the person on the phone.After searching around, it turned out that he was a very famous agent in the circle, as my friend said.Gao Xixi is different from Chen Han, she is a low-key person, there are not many news reports on her, and there are few celebrities, but her strength and status can be seen from those names.There are two movie kings and actresses who have become legends. Even though they have not appeared in the public eye in recent years, they are still poached by the media from time to time to grab attention and attract attention.

"..."

The more I looked at Huo Bai, the more I felt something was wrong.With such a powerful manager, why should he take a fancy to a young rookie who has just debuted?Could it be that, as she herself said, she was moved by her performance in "Flower Boy"?

He vaguely thought of that man.If all of this had something to do with Xiang Siqi again, it was Xiang Siqi who came forward to help him find a manager, and he owed him more and more money, and he would have to pay it off for the rest of his life.

Huo Bai's mood was indescribably complicated.He didn't want to accept that man's gift anymore, even if the other party repeated the word "no asking for anything in return" over and over again that day.But who can really completely do not ask for anything in return?Taking a step back, Xiang Siqi also regretted it, and wanted to find peace of mind for what he had done to him back then.

He rubbed his eyes, and decided to contact the big-name agent again to find out.If it had nothing to do with Xiang Siqi, he didn't want to miss the chance to be appreciated.

Huo Bai sat on the sofa for a long time, feeling that as long as he got involved in matters related to Xiang Siqi, it would take a long time to calm down.

*********

After sending Xiao Ke to the kindergarten the next day, Huo Bai left for her home according to the address Gao Xixi gave her.At first when the other party invited him to be a guest on the phone, Huo Bai seemed a little hesitant.

"What's wrong? Are you still thinking I'm a liar?"

Even through the phone, his face started to feel hot.It seems to be discovered by the other party.I'm afraid I'm the only one who regards such a famous manager as a liar.

Gao Xixi's home is located in a high-end residential area on the outskirts of the city.As soon as the door was opened, a smell of books came to his face, which surprised Huo Bai.The walls are covered with calligraphy and paintings, which seem to have nothing to do with the entertainment industry.

The manager herself is also very simple, unlike Chen Han who often shows off her image as a strong woman with delicate makeup, she doesn't wear makeup at all, letting others see her age.

"Hello, Teacher Gao."

Huo Bai glanced at the fine brushwork landscape paintings on the wall of the living room. Although his father prefers modern art, he would occasionally buy traditional paintings and hang them in the living room.The signature on this painting he had seen in his father's collection when he was a child.

"Do you want tea? No drinks."

Gao Xixi has no airs at all, and has an easy-going attitude, entertaining him.

"Anything is fine, just do whatever you want." Huo Bai responded respectfully.He has heard this principle before, no matter what he does, he will become detached when he reaches a certain level.As expected of a godmother-level agent recognized in the industry, after bringing out such a legendary star, he probably doesn't care about fame and fortune.

Therefore, the suspicion in his heart deepened, why did Gao Xixi fall in love with him?

Huo Bai couldn't help becoming nervous. He wanted to ask, but he had to find a suitable and appropriate opportunity.Otherwise, if you make a mistake, you will fail the good intentions of the other party.

Because you have something on your mind, you will show it more or less.The young man still couldn't hide his emotions, Gao Xixi saw it, and asked calmly.

"Are you thinking, why did I find you?"

"...I can't figure it out."

Huo Bai simply used this sentence to express his doubts. "I don't feel good about my performance on the show. Talent competition is not my strong point, and it's all fueled by various topics."

"Don't you like it?"

"Yes." He replied honestly, "I regretted participating in it. I knew that I should insist on myself from the beginning, so I chose to withdraw later."

Gao Xixi didn't answer his words directly, and suddenly told someone else's story.

"Everyone knows that Cai Pei is a powerful group with super acting skills. In fact, he also took the idol route at first. At that time, the idol industry was not as prosperous as it is now, and he was regarded as the best among the first batch of small fresh meat."

Hearing this name, Huo Bai unconsciously straightened his body.Cai Pei is the actor brought out by Gao Xixi and has become a legend. He just turned 40 years old, and he has been in a state of half-life for the past few years.Huo Bai heard someone mention it when he was doing odd jobs in the crew, and went back to watch the movies he starred in curiously. Since then, he has collected all the movies he participated in to watch.Speaking of it, it can be regarded as a little fan.

"Cai Pei doesn't like being packaged by others. At that time, he also had a hard time with the company and was hidden for several years."

"I see the shadow of him from you." Gao Xixi said meaningfully, "There are too many people in this circle who drift with the tide, they can be popular but not for long, and they will be forgotten by people after making money. The one who really stood on the altar in the end, They are all people who have their own attachments and don’t take fame and fortune too seriously.”

"However, the world has changed now. It is becoming more and more difficult for people like you to survive in this circle. Cai Pei may not be able to be copied, so I want to try again and create a second Cai Pei."

Huo Bai should have been happy when the other party compared himself with the legendary actor.But he thought about it, and answered politely.

"If you've seen the show, you know I don't like being someone else."

After expressing his position, Huo Bai felt that he might not refuse the invitation of this big-name manager.Even if there is that man behind him, Gao Xixi really appreciates herself.
