presumptuous [entertainment]

【Miss Yao wants to make a phone call with you】

Guan Han truthfully relayed Tang Ruoyao's words.

Qin Yinong's mood fluctuated too much today, and his mental state was particularly bad at night. When he saw that even Guan Han was acting stupid, he almost couldn't suppress his temper.

She pinched the center of her eyebrows fiercely, suppressed her anger, and made a voice.

Guan Han clicked on it, and the voice from inside was faint, eerie and creepy in the middle of the night, like a ghost: "Am I with you now? How do you talk to her on the phone? Where's your brain?"

Guan Han's back was tight, and he almost broke out in a cold sweat. He replied: [I see]

"Sleep." She brows gloomy, and said another sentence.

Qin Yinong's eyes were bloodshot, and he casually threw the phone on the soft quilt, picked up the wine on the bedside table, and drank it with his back.

The cold wine entered the stomach from the throat, drinking too fast, Qin Yinong choked and coughed, supported the edge of the bed with one hand, grabbed the sheet, his fingertips turned white, and pressed his chest with the other hand, Bending over and coughing earth-shatteringly.

Fortunately, she lived alone on the second floor, so she couldn't disturb Ji Shulan and Qin Jianing who were already asleep.

Qin Yinong waited for his cough to subside, poured another glass of wine, and sat on the single sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows. Only one wall lamp was turned on in the bedroom. The facial features that were shrouded in shadow and couldn't see the expression clearly.

She thought, did Tang Ruoyao really not understand?

I still understand it, pretending I don’t understand it on purpose, and retreating to advance.

After experiencing the incident of delivering the ointment last time, Qin Yinong never underestimated her sensitivity and intelligence, especially when it came to matters related to her.No matter whether she really doesn't understand or pretends not to understand, Qin Yinong will not waver.

She has already paved the road that should be paved, if she never walks...

Qin Yinong closed his eyes, leaned on the back of the chair, his chin tightened little by little, and his hands clenched into fists.

***

Tang Ruoyao was not discouraged when he got a negative answer.

After thanking Guan Han and kindly telling him to go to bed early, Tang Ruoyao put down his phone and sat in a chair in the study, with his fingers crossed under his chin, a slight smile flashed in his eyes.

With Guan Han's proof, she thought that she had understood Qin Yinong's meaning correctly, and she was a little dumbfounded for a moment.

Although she behaved outside the world and had little relationship with Qin Yinong herself, she still felt as if she was in a dream about Qin Yinong's "earnest expectations".

Tang Ruoyao already knew where the entertainment industry was.Especially in the past few years, I have seen all kinds of things in the circle. It is easy to hold the high and step on the low, and it is common for the same room to stab the knife in the back. She is well protected by Qin Yinong, but it does not mean that She has no eyes and can't see, she has been watching, accumulating, summing up, like a migratory bird preparing for a long-distance migration, secretly accumulating strength for the future after leaving Qin Yinong.

Her speed was very slow, she was afraid that Qin Yinong would find out her "different intention".She always remembered that at the wine table, Qin Yinong smiled and pointed at her, and wanted to leave her in a grand manner. No one around her dared to object, even if it was her original benefactor, he said embarrassingly that she already had an offer. Now, Qin Yinong rested his chin in one hand and smiled, and the man didn't dare to speak. Her original benefactor even took the initiative to send herself over at the suggestion of her friend, and pushed herself into Qin Yinong's arms.

At that time, Tang Ruoyao could see that Qin Yinong was very powerful, and she was also someone in the entertainment industry that most people would not dare to provoke. Offending her was much more terrifying than offending her original benefactor.She is surrounded by Qin Yinong, no matter how nice the other party is to her, her heart is hanging, because she doesn't know when Qin Yinong will get angry, she is like a bird that can be crushed to death in front of Qin Yinong Who would take the king's favor seriously?She is in the circle, life and death are all in her mind.

Tang Ruoyao flattered her and was willing to be a gentle and dependent dodder, in order to leave a way out for herself.When the contract expires, she still has to survive in the entertainment industry. She has a new path, a new atmosphere, and a new world, so she can't have any problems during the contract period.Anyway, it was only four years. At that time, she had just graduated from university, and the road in life was still long. She looked forward to the day when she would regain her freedom.

It's true that she likes Qin Yinong. Young people sometimes can't restrain their emotions, do impulsive things, and have untimely delusions. After all, people can't be rational forever.But love is not the only thing in her life, and love is not the most important thing to her, at least not now, she does not have the ability to have a love, especially Qin Yinong's feelings.

Her belief is very firm, it is the same from beginning to end, she wants to survive, she wants to be free.

Can't even stand firm, talk about love.

She thought that what Qin Yinong wanted was the little white rabbit, so she let nature take its course and acted as an obedient little white rabbit, for fear of offending her.Now Qin Yinong wants her to be a hunting eagle, which coincides with her plan a year later, but she doesn't know where Qin Yinong's words are. In this cultivation game, she hopes to be a to what extent.

If she showed her sharpness immediately, would she realize that she was just pretending before, and she would be furious.

Tang Ruoyao squinted her eyes, put down her hand resting on her chin, tapped the table with her slender knuckles slowly, and decided to draw it slowly.

Just try to practice with Ruan Qin, see how Qin Yinong reacts, and then decide what to do next.

Thinking of Ruan Qin, Tang Ruoyao thought at the beginning whether she was Qin Yinong's eyeliner deliberately placed by her side, but later felt that Ruan Qin was too stupid, and she knew her before she met Qin Yinong, so she dismissed it idea.

Tang Ruoyao made up her mind, went to the bathroom to wash her face again, returned to the bedroom, lay down on her back, and blinked at the ceiling.

Reasonable things belong to reason, and then it is time to let your emotions go.

One of the three major illusions in life - she likes me.

Tang Ruoyao was no exception to the trap, especially a slight change in her sweetheart was enough to make her think of this aspect.Qin Yinong's words "you are not the only lover" brought her back to her original form, and Ji Yunyao met during the day made her feel ashamed, but this phone call at night made her smell something unusual.

It is intuition, there is no way to explain it.

She dug out the long message from Guan Han and read it again. There is no doubt that Guan Han's will is Qin Yinong's will. "The gift is simple and straightforward, and what is revealed between the lines is her love for her.

Didn’t you see what Guan Han said, the last time I was slapped by Ruan Qin, this time I was robbed of the role, and there are many things from a long time ago, Qin Yinong remembers all of them, love is deeply responsible, so he can’t bear it , Thunder was furious.Apart from teaching her how to act, when did Qin Yinong ever talk to himself for such a long time, so it was good for him to play a fool carefully this time, at least he could get a glimpse of her true thoughts and not continue to make mistakes. go down.

Tang Ruoyao changed his posture, bent his arms, put them on the back of his head, and smiled.

She is very self-aware, this kind of self-knowledge allows her to quickly digest Qin Yinong's sneering words, and she can quickly calm down when she shows kindness and tenderness to her, so that she will not let herself be addicted to being spoiled by pets, thus creating disasters.She never overreached herself and put herself on an equal footing with the other party, which is foolish.

Qin Yinong likes her, although she is happy, if she doesn't like her, she won't be sad for too long, because it's a matter of course.There is an exchange of value between them in terms of body and resources. For the rest, it is due to Qin Yinong's affection for her, and it is his duty not to.

Today's Tang Ruoyao fell asleep with the thought of Qin Yinong liking her, her dreams were all sweet.

***

the next day.

Star Media.

"Mr. Gao, I want to change my agent." Tang Ruoyao stood in the office of a high-level executive in the company and said to Ruan Qin's boss's boss.

The high-ranking officer's surname is Gao, and his name is Gao Hai. He has a generous appearance and an easy-going personality. He is a relatively easy-to-talk boss.Tang Ruoyao picked him.

The reason why she didn't inform Ruan Qin in advance was because there was no need to inform the other party.With Ruan Qin's temperament, everyone would definitely make a fuss, and maybe even be forced to argue with her in front of high-level officials. Tang Ruoyao was too lazy to talk nonsense with her.

Gao Hai was startled, and slowly stood up from behind the desk, and said softly, "Sit down first."

Tang Ruoyao sat on the sofa, Gao Hai's secretary poured Tang Ruoyao a cup of tea, Tang Ruoyao took it with both hands, looked up at her, and nodded slightly: "Thank you, Miss Zhou."

Secretary Gao Hai didn't expect that she remembered her last name. The two of them seemed to have never met each other, and they didn't know how to greet each other in the company. They reacted after a moment of surprise, showing a friendly and sincere smile.

Secretary Zhou finished pouring tea, backed out, closed the door thoughtfully, and looked inside at the last second to see Tang Ruoyao who was sitting upright.

Gao Hai sat across from her, and asked with a smile, "Why do you suddenly want to change your manager?"

Tang Ruoyao is an outlier in Xingrui Media. Xingrui Media is not a large-scale entertainment company that can be said to be able to control a whole area, and it is just enough to have a name.Tang Ruoyao started to make a name for herself a year after she signed in. She took over a movie directed by a famous filmmaker and became famous. The company should have vigorously cultivated her, but the management kept silent about her plan, pretending that she didn't have the right to do so.Gao Hai's level is not enough to reach the truth, he just has a vague guess that someone is covering her.

Her career plan is in the hands of others, so if she doesn't take the initiative to mention it, the company has never moved the idea of ​​changing her agent.There are only two or three powerful managers, and bringing her a fake artist of the company is equivalent to robbing the resources of its own artist, and the company does not want to lose money.

Tang Ruoyao said flatly: "My family thinks that I have graduated, so I should come out and make a difference."

She deliberately spoke vaguely, and Gao Hai's heart skipped a beat, and he made a thousand turns around seventeen or eighteen turns in an instant.

"Family" refers to the people behind her, so is the rumored "family background" true?Tang Ruoyao's personal file is in the company. Although there is nothing worth noting in the immediate family, there may not be any prominent relatives in the collateral line. Thinking of the Ji family who came over suddenly yesterday, Gao Hai's heart beat wildly.

"Yes, young people should venture out more, your family is right." Gao Hai echoed with a smile.

"Mr. Gao should know how capable Ruan Qin is." Tang Ruoyao's eyes were tinged with displeasure, "Besides pimping, she is useless."

Gao Hai's smile faltered. Could Gao Hai not understand the people under him? Ruan Qin has worked in the company for many years, and she is considered an old employee. She doesn't have much ability, but she can create profits for the company. One eye is gone.

Gao Hai murmured: "You can't say that, usually it's very hard."

"Slap hard?" Tang Ruoyao said indifferently.

"Ah?" The sudden change of subject made Gao Hai startled for a moment, "What slap?"

Tang Ruoyao called up the photo from his phone and handed it over.

Gao Hai looked at the photo, then looked up at her, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak: "This, this, this..." His tone was low and cautious, "When did it happen?"

"Two days after the Golden Oyster Awards ceremony."

"Then why do you..."

"I was busy with my graduation defense at that time, and I was preparing for graduation." Tang Ruoyao frowned, "I forgot about it later, but I just remembered it recently." It seemed that I regretted forgetting this matter.

"Your family..."

"They don't know." Tang Ruoyao waved his hand.

Gao Hai breathed a sigh of relief.

He is not very courageous, and it took many years to climb to a high-level position, for fear of making a mistake.If Tang Ruoyao sued, even he might not have a good life.

Tang Ruoyao made sure that Gao Hai didn't know her background, and continued to move out the tiger-skin banner of "family", and threw out a candied date: "My family means that from now on, during the contract period, I will I'll listen to the company's arrangement." After a pause, she added, "As long as it's not too much."

An artist has to go through a lot of ups and downs in the process from rising to stardom. Film and television resources, fashion resources and advertising resources are not achieved overnight. From bad to good, from ordinary to top, this is an inevitable process.Tang Ruoyao is equivalent to standing at the top right after his debut, famous director movies, top endorsements, throwing money at his head like he doesn't want money.Even if it falls back, it won't be the same as the rookie, after all, it has a chassis.The company will also take her chassis into account, giving due consideration to quality.If the company wants to make money, she can accept commercial films, and there is a lot of room for negotiation.The smoke bombs about her family background will still be effective for a while, a small company has the benefits of a small company, and she dare not take the risk of offending the people behind her.When the company finds out that she has no background, she will only have more and more bargaining chips in her hands.

The most important thing is that these are things that she can hold in her own hands and truly belong to her.

Gao Hai's eyes lit up slightly, obviously moved by her proposal.

There is a cash cow in the company, but it can only be paid for at a high level. Several high-level executives would sigh in small gatherings. Now that the money tree says that she wants to make money for the company, they all get dividends!

After the conversation, Gao Hai personally sent Tang Ruoyao out.

"We need to have a meeting to discuss this matter, and I will inform you of the result." Gao Hai said attentively, "Be careful to rest more, and don't see Ruan Qin again in the next few days, lest she go crazy again."

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Gao." Tang Ruoyao nodded politely, smiling gracefully and calmly.

***

Ruan Qin has always felt uneasy these two days.

Every time she felt this way, it had something to do with Tang Ruoyao.As soon as she opened her eyes, she just looked at her mobile phone. Could it be that Guan Han called again to teach her a lesson.She hadn't seen Tang Ruoyao for several days, and she didn't reply to the messages she sent. She asked her assistant Xin Qian, who said that Tang Ruoyao was staying with her roommate at school.

Ruan Qin calmed down a little.

She hasn't done anything bad lately.

Until the first day of July, Gao Hai called her into the office.

Besides Gao Hai, there were two other people in the office, one was Tang Ruoyao, and the other was Mu Qingwu, the manager of the artist management department.Ruan Qin said hello to Gao Hai, and originally wanted to ask Tang Ruoyao why she didn't reply to her message, but when she saw Mu Qingwu, she was a head short and didn't dare to fart.

Mu Qingwu is Xingrui's head manager, and now Xingrui's most popular little girl is brought out by Mu Qingwu, and even Gao Hai wants to sell her face.

Gao Hai put on a Maitreya-like signature smile, and said with a smile: "Ruan Qin, you take Qingwu to hand over, and Ruoyao will be handed over to Qingwu in the future, and you don't need to worry about it."

Ruan Qin looked at Tang Ruoyao in disbelief: "You actually..." There was a bit of gritted teeth in her expression.

Tang Ruoyao: "Sister Mu, let's go."

Mu Qingwu hummed, looked impatiently at Ruan Qin, and said coldly: "Don't waste time, I have to catch a plane after handing over."

What she despises the most is this kind of person who has no real material. It is a shame to have her in the brokerage department.

Ruan Qin dared not speak out, and stepped forward to lead the way.

After the handover, Tang Ruoyao ignored Ruan Qin's dark face and followed Mu Qingwu to her office.

People are completely different from each other, as can be seen from the temperament, the difference is worlds apart.Mu Qingwu stood there, wearing a lady's white formal suit, pointed high-heeled shoes, with a straight back and a straight figure. He was holding a folder in one hand, and he was scribbling on it with a pen. He didn't know what he was scribbling.

Pressed by the aura released by the new manager, Tang Ruoyao slightly pursed her lower lip.

Mu Qingwu lowered his head, sketching with a pen, without looking at her, and said in a casual tone, "I heard that you chose me."

"Yes."

"When did you see me?"

"Cough." Tang Ruoyao choked, thinking he heard it wrong.

"May I ask you, when did you fall in love with me?" Mu Qingwu repeated, and suddenly raised his eyes, sharp as a hawk, and said sharply, "Tell the truth."

"Not long after joining the company." Tang Ruoyao hesitated, but still told the truth.

She was signed by Ruan Qin and went around the company a few times.Once when Mu Qingwu was dealing with an emergency public relations, she saw it from outside the glass room, and felt that she was decisive and imposing, and she was her ideal manager.

"Honest, discerning." Mu Qingwu threw the folder on the coffee table and greeted her, "Sit."

Tang Ruoyao sat down, feeling a little apprehensive, but she couldn't see it on her face.

"Do you have any expectations for your future?" Worrying that Tang Ruoyao didn't understand, Mu Qingwu changed the wording, "It's career planning. What route do you want to take?"

"Can it be the same as now?" Tang Ruoyao asked.

"Yes." Mu Qingwu agreed very readily, and refused even more readily, shrugging his shoulders alone, "But I can't do it."

"puff."

Tang Ruoyao heard laughter.

At first, she thought it was from herself, and wondered why she was so impatient, but when she realized it, she realized that it was Mu Qingwu who was laughing.

Mu Qingwu changed his serious face and said with a smile: "Since you have signed under me, the two of us are one. Let me tell you the truth, I can't reach half of your resources, so it is basically impossible for you to maintain the status quo. .”

It turned out that he was just testing her.

Tang Ruoyao nodded, with a very modest attitude: "I know, Sister Mu, you have the final say."

Mu Qingwu raised his eyebrows, brought over the folder she had sketched on the coffee table, and said in a relaxed tone, "It's up to you, I don't want to be a dictator. This is my career plan for you, see if there is anything Where it is difficult, we discuss to change it.”

"Okay, I'll take a look."

After some conversation, Tang Ruoyao found that Mu Qingwu had a good personality, the style of a big sister, who would not say "you have to", but negotiated and tried to satisfy both of them.

Regardless of whether her "background" was taboo or not, such a scene made Tang Ruoyao secretly heave a sigh of relief.

Although she had observed Mu Qingwu for a long time, she had to get in touch with him personally to be at ease.

"Sister Mu, I would like to ask for a leave of absence before the official announcement," Tang Ruoyao said.

"What are you going to do?"

"Go home."

"Okay." Mu Qingwu said, "How long will it take, I will move back for you."

"One week."

Mu Qingwu had a good memory, and said: ""Under the South Mountain" will enter the group in half a month, and you will have to run an announcement when you come back. You don't have much time to prepare in advance. Remember to do your homework at home. Director Lin is very temperamental and picky."

Tang Ruoyao nodded.

Mu Qingwu asked: "Do you have a list of other leading and supporting roles in this movie?"

"No." Tang Ruoyao answered honestly.

Mu Qingwu cursed in a low voice, Tang Ruoyao didn't hear what he was cursing, probably Ruan Qin, after scolding, he pinched his brows and said, "I'll sort out a copy and send it to your email later, please pay attention My note to you."

Remark?

Tang Ruoyao nodded again.

"Okay, let's go home." Mu Qingwu waved his hand, "This is none of your business."

Tang Ruoyao didn't know why she made a note until she received an email from Mu Qingwu at night. "Under the South Mountain" chose a lot of young actors because of the background of the story. The entertainment industry is a circle. She specially noted the resumes of some young actors. The company, there are those who deliberately stole hype, marketing practices, and those with bad intentions. It's directly a lack of virtue, and I told her to be more careful. There is an actor who notes that his private life is chaotic, and he likes to gather crowds to hack. There are three red prohibition signs on the back. The prohibition is not enough, and three emoji expressions , crossing your arms means never allowing it.

Tang Ruoyao was stunned for a long time after reading it. Ruan Qin was wildly raising her and ignoring her, and even asked her to help wipe her butt for so long. When she met such a caring and capable person, she couldn't believe it.

Is this what a good broker looks like?

Actually not, each agent has a different style, Mu Qingwu belongs to the mother who takes care of artists as well as children, for fear that the artists will make mistakes.

She clicked on the email to reply, typed "Thank you", and felt that it was too perfunctory, so she touched the mobile phone on the side and sent a message: [Got it, thank you Sister Mu, I will do it]

Mu Qingwu didn't reply, and after two hours, he replied with an "OK" gesture and said: [I just got off the plane, it's getting late, you go to bed quickly]

Mu Qingwu also has an artist under his command, the popular Xiaohuadan, whose contract expires in half a year. Xiaohuadan's wings are hardened, and she probably wants to go out to open a studio.Tang Ruoyao's "Under the South Mountain" will take three to four months to shoot, and the transition will be almost seamless by then.

This is why Tang Ruoyao is sure that Mu Qingwu will agree to take over her.

Tang Ruoyao: [Good night]

Mu Qingwu: [[Moon]]

***

"Mu Qingwu?" Qin Yinong sat in the living room at home, with the information of Tang Ruoyao's current manager in front of him, flipping through the pages carefully, and commented, "The resume is very impressive, but the one she brought earlier That little flower is from the TV industry, will it be out of the reach of the film industry?"

There is a wall between the movie circle and the TV circle, and she may not be able to get the news of the auditions of those famous directors.

Guan Han pretended not to see the corners of Qin Yinong's lips rising uncontrollably.

Tang Ruoyao changed managers, because both of them were well-known in Xingrui, the news spread quickly, Xingrui Media's eyeliner immediately told Guan Han.Guan Han took Mu Qingwu's information with him, and immediately came to inform Qin Yinong of the surprise.

She remembered that when Qin Yinong heard the news, when he turned around, his face showed surprise, and the first thing he said was: "Did Ruan Qin have a car accident?"
