Chapter 39：

Lu Zishi was going to be mad at the comments on the Internet. Since he knew that he was put together by the "Li Meng" crew, he sent his agent to ask about the situation. The project leader who used to be kind to them now doesn't answer a single phone call, and their studio can only find others to ask about the situation.

The result is that they ignored the clarification request of the "Li Meng" crew, and now "Li Meng" has clarified it by themselves, and they don't want to engage in mutually beneficial marketing at all.

Lu Zishi's popularity has soared in recent years, and now he is the darling of several brands in the circle. Because of the impact of "Li Meng", the complacence of his fans and the drafts bought by the studio, in the eyes of netizens, it has become a joke.

[Fans don't take the blame. How many times did you blow your brother before you read the marketing account that first posted on Weibo? 】

[Some of these marketing accounts are bound and cooperated with studios. Do you think they would post these Weibo without your brother's studio nod? It's all big v, there's no need to rub your brother's traffic. 】

[Said that the crew was a fan? You didn't find that the crew didn't have 24 hours from sending silhouette pictures to responding. If you say this is a fan, then you haven't seen that kind of sneaking for half a year. 】

[In the beginning, it was rumored on the Internet that the protagonist of "Li Meng" was Lu Zishi, wasn't he a big fan of Lu Zishi's family? At that time, the news of the casting of "Limeng" hadn't come out yet, right? 】

Lu Zishi had to ask the studio to issue a clarification statement, but he did not participate in "Leaving the Dream", please don't misunderstand. However, the fans felt aggrieved in private, so he had to ask his assistant to explain to the fans: he participated in the casting, but the role was taken away and he couldn't participate in the role.

His fans were originally very angry, because the news of his participation in "Li Meng" came from the big fan, and the big fan said it was from the studio, but when he heard that he had participated in the casting but was not selected, he felt in his heart. Lu Zishi suddenly felt distressed.

"What's going on with this crew?" Lu Zishi became angrier as he looked at the comments on the Internet. Originally, he wanted to rely on the popularity of "Li Meng" to attract a wave of fans, but now not only has he lost a lot of fans, he has also been said to be Marketing at a discount.

"Huihua has changed the boss. The boss seems to be a rich second-generation, quite rich. It is estimated that the crew thinks that a little money will boost their confidence. However, with so many projects under Huihua's banner, they may not be able to manage "Li Meng". Hua's boss is very busy, he may not notice this little thing, you don't have to be afraid of offending the crew."

The agent said: "But it's fine. You will suffer if they do this. When you talk to other bosses, they will have to rely on other relationships to pass the trial in the later stage of "Li Meng"."

The more Lu Zishi thought about it, the more angry he became: "Aren't they starring Zhang Qi who robbed me of the role before? Since the crew doesn't give me face, we don't have to give them face. Just let the news that the star is Zhang Qi, Zhang Qi used to There is also a black history, so I don’t believe that book fans don’t spray them to death.”

"This matter is that we underestimated the crew. I thought it would take at least a week or two for them to clarify. I didn't expect that they didn't want to steal your traffic. Instead, they clarified the matter directly. The traces of marketing on our side were too late to suppress." The agent After being silent for a while, "I asked the vice president, and he said that we can handle this matter as we see fit. We can work **** the matter of the protagonist of Limeng, at least to give you an outlet. There is one more thing..."

Lu Zishi frowned: "What's the matter?"

The agent said: "Isn't RH's big devil hosting a party next month? Mr. Wang said before that he would take you to see the scene. You have to find a way to win the big devil's favor. You don't have to worry about your fashion resources in the second half of the year."

"Big Devil?" Lu Zishi knew about this, and Mr. Wang asked him to prepare, saying that all the bigwigs in the industry would appear at the party. "That resource that many people are robbing?"

"Let's put it this way, RH cooperates with each other, they won't choose people based on the popularity in the circle." The agent said: "But they have a place in the world, as long as you get on their boat, you can choose any big domestic brands in the future. , the brand will also scramble to find you.”

"This family is so powerful?" Lu Zishi was a little moved when he heard this. He knew that there were also many potential rules in the industry. Some things could not be done well by being popular, but more needed connections.

The agent sneered: "As long as you are close to the big guys of RH, you will be worried that no one will spend huge sums of money on you to act in a costume drama like "Limeng"? If you can get on the resources of RH, you are destined to have the potential to be a big hit. At that time, they don't care what your qualifications are, as long as you can hold it, then you will definitely be smooth sailing."

Lu Zishi felt better when he heard this, "Then I have to prepare well. I'll ask Mr. Wang what the RH guy likes."

-*

In the apartment, when Uncle Wang gave Zhao Yao warm water, he found Zhao Yao sitting on the sofa in the study.

He put down the water glass lightly, "What's the matter, young master?"

Zhao Yao's mobile phone is displaying the information just forwarded to the mobile phone, "How long has Zhao Ruihong been back in China?"

"Second Miss has returned to China?" Uncle Wang was a little surprised.

Since Zhao Yao left the Zhao Group, he has no longer been involved in the group's affairs. People are only staring at Zhao Zhikai and Zhao Qizhen, but they never thought that Zhao Ruihong would return to China. In his impression, Zhao Ruihong appeared at his father's funeral when he returned to China in his last life, but it was only that time. After that, the Zhao family was turned upside down for many times. Zhao Ruihong did not come back to take a look.

Zhao Yao remembered that the last conversation with Zhao Ruihong was at his father's funeral. Zhao Ruihong came over and congratulated him in advance, and there was no conversation after that. After he ascended the throne in his previous life, he sent someone to go abroad to find Zhao Ruihong, but she lived a life of infatuation and was disdainful of everything in the country. After following her for a few years, he did not send anyone to follow her.

The last time I knew about Zhao Ruihong was that she was in a relationship with a certain star in the foreign entertainment industry.

Among all the people in the Zhao family, she was the wisest. She escaped early in this whirlpool of seizing power, and her ending was also the best.

If it wasn't for the photo of the person in charge of RH in the information sent by Chen Xi, Zhao Yao would not have thought that it was Zhao Ruihong. Zhao Ruihong does have a company in operation, but it is her personal asset and has nothing to do with the Zhao Group. It was only then that Zhao Yao remembered that in his previous life, Zhao Ruihong's investigation materials did mention the RH industry, but he didn't pay attention at that time, and he only remembered it now.

Zhao Yao said: "The person I sent out didn't tell the news about Zhao Ruihong, which means that she should have stayed in the old house and didn't come out much after returning to China, and Zhao Changshuo was quite protective of her, so it is estimated that he suppressed the news."

Seeing that Zhao Yao's expression was wrong, Uncle Wang asked, "Isn't it a good thing for the second lady to return to China?"

He knew that Zhao Yao didn't hate Zhao Ruihong, and he could even say that among the four members of the Zhao family, Zhao Yao had the most relaxed relationship with Zhao Ruihong.

Zhao Ruihong has no other interaction with Zhao Yao, and it can even be said that he has nothing to do with the rest of the Zhao family. Zhao Yao didn't think so, because Zhao Ruihong didn't return to China at this critical period in his previous life, he couldn't help thinking that he had overlooked some important point, and Zhao Ruihong would suddenly choose to return to China.

"You have to say that, her returning to China has nothing to do with me, and it is a good thing." Zhao Yao frowned slightly: "But why she returned to China, I don't understand."

Uncle Wang felt that Zhao Yao was thinking too much, "Second Miss may want to go back to China, or there are other reasons. Will the young master think too much?"

Zhao Ruihong was not at all interested in Zhao's authority, and even felt annoyed by stepping into Zhao's group.

Zhao Yao pondered: "Maybe I think too much..."

Uncle Wang noticed that the young man's finger pads were rubbing his thumb all the time. These days, he found that the young master did not know when to get into this habit.

Just as Zhao Yao was thinking, the doorbell rang suddenly.

Someone came to visit.

Uncle Wang nodded and said, "I'll go take a look."

Zhao Yao leaned back slightly against the back of the chair. Zhao Ruihong's return to China was no threat to him. If it was in his previous life, he might be very happy. Among the four members of the Zhao family, Zhao Changshuo was basically brought up by his father when he was a child, while Zhao Ruihong stayed in the old house for a long time. At that time, Zhao Yao's mother was still there, and as the mistress, she also shouldered the responsibility of taking care of Zhao Ruihong, so when she was a child, Zhao Yao had the best relationship with this second sister.

When he was young with almost no playmates, Zhao Ruihong was a rare person who had the heart to take him as a child. Later, as they grew up, the relationship between the two gradually became estranged. When Zhao Ruihong was studying, she was in boarding school and rarely returned to the old house to stay. The rumors that Zhao Yao heard the most were the rumors that she was wanton in school. She lived like a fire and was vigorous.

So when he won the Zhao Group, Zhao Ruihong's cold congratulations to him at the funeral made him feel that the relationship between the two was really gone.

Uncle Wang came over after a while, "Master, it's the young master here."

Zhao Changshuo is here?

Zhao Yao was a little surprised, "What is he doing here?"

It was half past eight in the evening.

Zhao Changshuo just finished working overtime, he did not ask the secretary to make an appointment with Zhao Yao's assistant in advance, but took the initiative to come to the door. During this period of time, he knew that Zhao Yao was basically staying at home, and the bodyguard sent to protect Zhao Yao told him that Zhao Yao would only go out on weekends, and he basically stayed at home at other times.

Therefore, Zhao Yao is usually at home, and Zhao Changshuo has a general understanding. His third brother really cultivated himself after quitting the Zhao Group. The two had a dispute over business before. At that time, Zhao Yao was high-spirited and even a little serious and paranoid as a young man. He was a real workaholic.

Before Zhao Changshuo thought that he came out to re-establish his own business, but after observing it during this time, he found that if Zhao Yao was for his career, it would be too Buddhist. According to Zhao Changshuo's understanding of Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao should already have his own plans and plans during this time, either to contact the contacts in the new circle, or to set a territory and start planning his career.

However, none of these, and even the public opinion crisis that broke out in Huihua before, most of his cases were handed over to Chen Xi of Huihua.

"How is your foot recovering now?" Zhao Changshuo saw Zhao Yao come out.

Uncle Wang came over quickly to make tea, Zhao Yao sat down on the other side, and said briefly, "It's almost done, why did you come here at this hour?"

"Have you heard about your father?" Zhao Changshuo didn't say much nonsense, but went straight to the point.

"Just say it." Zhao Yao also guessed that Zhao Changshuo must have something to do with the Zhao family when he came over, and during this time Zhao Zhikai and Zhao Qizhen have also made big moves, so the reason for Zhao Changshuo's coming is not difficult to guess, he is now a bright face The Zhao Changshuo camp on the top, then the next period of time may not be peaceful.

"Zhao Zhikai's hand has recently reached out to the project that Dad invested heavily in the past. Originally, this project was managed by Dad's trusted confidant. He wanted to take advantage of his father's time to go abroad." Zhao Changshuo said: "His original plan was to plan Push Zhao Qizhen to be a puppet, but Dad's condition deteriorated too fast, he couldn't bear it anymore."

"Zhao Zhikai never planned to use Zhao Qizhen, their mother and son are just the objects of Zhao Zhikai's use." Zhao Yao frowned slightly, thinking of the results of the previous investigation by EV, "His hand can't reach his father's side, so during this time he finally It may be you who will do it, and the easiest and quickest way is still the same as before, starting from the project under your hand, and even digging a hole for you.”

In this critical period, the effect of a little bit of wind and grass kinetic energy is far greater than before, and it is even possible to resist together with the group's top management. Zhao Yao remembered how Zhao Zhikai dealt with him in his previous life, and it is not impossible that those methods could be used on Zhao Changshuo, "You'd better be careful with the people around you, including the old man who has been with you for a long time. You must understand this matter. It is clear whether Zhao Zhikai's goal is on your project or from the foundation of the group, if it is the former, then it is easy to deal with, if it is the latter, you will face more messes in the future."

When Zhao Changshuo heard him say this, he hesitated: "Do you know something?"

"You think too much, I'm just giving you some advice based on my experience working with Zhao Zhikai over the past few years. He can do anything in a hurry." Zhao Yao's voice was light: "Don't forget, he How many years are you more advanced in the group, and he even started planning when his father was still in the group, didn't people like him leave a hole card for himself in advance?"

Zhao Changshuo's face suddenly became serious when he heard the words, which was indeed his potential worry, but now Zhao Yao has pointed it all out to him. I don't know if it was his delusion. Every time Zhao Yao talked to him, it didn't seem like a simple conversation, but he was persuading him to think about deeper or unexpected problems. He didn't look like a peer at all.

Zhao Changshuo: "I see."

"The speed of the Zhao family's development in recent years has not been as fast as before. You may need to think about this issue in advance." Zhao Yao said that all this, the mess of the Zhao family gradually became apparent later, and part of the reason for the exhaustion in the previous life was that the problem of the Zhao family was discovered too late. If Zhao Changshuo could solve these problems a few years earlier in this life, then maybe the Zhao family would come back to life in his hands.

Zhao Changshuo said his doubts: "Every time I come here, you can surprise me."

"Oh, my words are not in vain." Zhao Yao saw that Zhao Changshuo's eyes were too serious, and changed the subject: "I heard that the closure of Xingchen Culture has been hammered in the group, you gave me a few projects before. Thank you, this time I want to ask some more people from you."

Zhao Changshuo finally felt relieved when he heard this: "Tell me, I don't have enough staff and I'll ask the secretary to call for you."

Zhao Yao remembered that Chen Xi had complained to him about his agent a while ago. The previous Xingchen team just filled up the original vacancies, and some people had already moved to other positions. At present, it seems that Huihua's most shortage problem is There is a lack of capable agents, "I heard that there are several agents in Xingchen Culture who plan to change jobs to other companies. It's unfortunate that Huihua has not enough staff recently. I want to take a small path from you and ask those people if they are willing to change Come to me, Huihua."

"Just this trivial matter?" Zhao Changshuo also knew about this problem. The original person in charge of Xingchen also talked about the issue of staff deployment in the later period. Some will be transferred back to the group to work, some will be transferred back to other companies, and some people want to go elsewhere At once. He thought that giving Zhao Yao the project and the team was enough to solve Zhao Yao's troubles at the beginning of his business, but now that Zhao Yao has made this request, it is conceivable that Huihua's cultural expansion is faster than he imagined.

Zhao Changshuo said: "No problem, I will let the secretary contact them in advance. If they are willing, I will let them contact your assistant."

Zhao Yao found that Zhao Changshuo has become very talkative recently, "Thank you very much."

"There are a few directors over at Xingchen who may also be leaving." Zhao Changshuo felt that a few agents were a trivial matter. What Zhao Yao said gave him a lot of warning. He said by the way, "Are you Huihua short of directors?"

Zhao Yao looked at him unexpectedly: "Lack."

Zhao Changshuo nodded: "Okay."

When Zhao Yao heard this, he suddenly realized that the background of Xingchen might be better than he thought. When he started to pay attention to entertainment projects in his last life, the entertainment companies under Zhao's group were almost scattered. talent.

So he went on to ask, "Is there anything else?"

"Two of the management positions are going to be transferred to other subsidiaries." Zhao Changshuo noticed Zhao Yao's serious eyes when he said that, and had to change his words: "I also asked the secretary to ask."

Zhao Yao was still looking at him.

Zhao Changshuo was silent for a while, and after the meeting he said, "There is still public relations..."

...

Zhao Yao and Zhao Changshuo asked and answered almost every detail about the inside of Xingchen Culture. Zhao Changshuo originally only recommended a few brokers, and later, he recommended the talents who were originally planned to be deployed to other companies to be re-exported to Zhao Yao. . When the two of them finished chatting, Zhao Changshuo even felt a trance that he was being tricked by Zhao Yao unknowingly.

Before leaving, Zhao Changshuo cast a slightly sad look when Zhao Yao was about to speak.

Zhao Yao didn't realize it at all, just said, "Has the second sister returned to China?"

"Well." Zhao Changshuo paused, "I don't know if you haven't returned to the old house for a while, she lives in the old house."

Zhao Yao thought for a while.

Zhao Changshuo added: "This period of time is special, so I have been pressing the news of her return to China. Although she is not interested in the group, the time of returning to China is coincidental. If anyone who cares pays attention to her, it will be troublesome."

"You too, I heard that you often go out on weekends, so you should pay more attention to safety." After Zhao Changshuo finished speaking, he hesitated for a while: "There are also many capable people around Pei Er, you two still need to pay more attention when traveling, although the Pei family has solved the problem , but it is inevitable that there will be fish that slip through the net. He may not be safe around him, so you still need to keep some snacks."

Zhao Yao nodded, hesitated for a while or asked a question he cared about: "Did the second sister say why she returned to China?"

Zhao Changshuo was a little surprised, because Zhao Yao seemed to care about Zhao Ruihong a little bit. He recalled Zhao Ruihong's wording and had to say, "I asked her this question, and she told me so..."

"She came back to eat melons."

-*

Pei Mingzhan had no variety show arrangements recently, but because the box office of "Jianghu" is getting higher and higher, and the voices of online fans are getting louder, the agent had to convey the wishes of the fans. In his original plan, his commercial activities should have ended after the release of "Jianghu", and the rest is the follow-up promotion of the unbroadcast works, which does not conflict with his current plan.

Fans of Pei Mingzhan probably also know that he is gradually withdrawing from the entertainment industry. Although he did not say it explicitly, it is false for fans to say that he is not sad. The agent saw that he was working very late these days, and he suggested a bit of negotiation: "I promised you before that I would not arrange a job for you, but you are leaving the circle mainly to work for the new company. You also said that it is possible to continue filming when the company stabilizes."

"It's not necessary to leave the circle now. Although there is no way to film during this time, it is also possible to receive a variety show with flying guests, right?" The agent said: "Just as a reward to the fans, the timing can also be discussed. ."

Pei Mingzhan has been putting more and more time into work recently. In addition, he has already vacated weekend time in the plan. He has become accustomed to this kind of high-intensity work arrangement. "Next month, what are the invitations?"

As soon as the agent heard the show, he immediately said: "I have received a lot of them so far. I have excluded some that you are not interested in. There are two variety show guests who are trained as actors, and there is a variety show for tourism and leisure. These are all It is suitable for you, and the program requirements will not be very high. The leisure life program is a bit different from the cultural tourism you have been to before, and the rhythm is relatively slow, so you can spend a few days in the next month to relax."

He also has his own selfishness. Pei Mingzhan's work attitude is too serious, but there is not much time for real rest.

Pei Mingzhan paused slightly when he heard the words, "Then send the specific content to my email, I'll check it out later."

The time is getting late, and the agent plans to leave after saying: "By the way, you should rest early during this time. You are not as old as a young man who just graduated. Learn from Mr. Zhao to maintain health, don't regret it when you are old... ..." Halfway through his words, he saw that Pei Mingzhan was already packing up the documents, apparently planning to get off work.

The agent said strangely: "President Zhao's name is also very useful, isn't it?"

Pei Mingzhan locked the important documents, picked up the suit jacket on the back of the chair, and planned to go out, "You reminded me."

broker:"?"

Pei Mingzhan held his coat in one hand, and flipped through the list with the other to quickly find a contact, "I forgot to call today."

After sending Zhao Changshuo away, the apartment suddenly became quiet.

Zhao Yao had a bit of a headache. After talking to Uncle Wang, he went back to the bedroom to rest. He lay on the bed with his eyes open, unable to control his mind and began to think about things. Reason tells him that these things do not need him to think about now, and even say that these things have nothing to do with him, but Zhao Yao can't control his thinking problems, the more he can't understand things, the more he will go crazy. Think down.

Forget it, he told himself.

In the next moment, he began to calculate the reason for Zhao Ruihong's return to China, considering what extreme measures Zhao Zhikai would take in a disadvantaged state... It was difficult to stop thinking about it from the beginning, his forehead was aching, and he pulled out the bedside table and took out the doctor. The prescribed medicine was drank with the cold water earlier on the table.

At this time, the phone that was placed not far away suddenly rang. Zhao Yao's face was not very good, but when he saw the contact on the phone screen, he suddenly felt a trance that was detached from high thinking.

It was Pei Mingzhan's phone number.

The author has something to say:

Zhao Yao: Any more?

Zhao Changshuo: ...Yes.

Chen Xi who was in the office: Huh? ?
