Battle of the Entertainment Circle

When Shen Yaoxiang picked up the phone, Wei Ning hadn't woken up, and he didn't hear what he said clearly in a daze, only heard the last sentence that seemed to be "I'll let him go down now", then hung up the phone, stretched out his hand and pushed pushed him.

"Get up, your agent is here."

Wei Ning yawned and sat up, curiously asked: "Does he still have your phone number?"

"You should ask him about it. Hurry up. He's waiting for you downstairs."

"You just wish I could get out of here quickly..." Wei Ning muttered unhappily a few times, then got up slowly and went to the bathroom to wash up.

Half an hour later, Wei Ning, who had changed his clothes, reluctantly went downstairs under Shen Yaoxiang's narrow gaze, to meet his manager.

The car was parked outside the apartment building, Wei Ning opened the door and sat on it, before the other party could speak, he asked, "What's the matter?"

"What do you think I came to you for?" The manager was very helpless: "Are you planning to hide in Shen Yaoxiang's house for the rest of your life?"

Wei Ning twitched the corner of his mouth, and his tone was not very polite: "Where did you ask for his mobile phone number?"

"I asked for it from Xia Zilin, and she only gave it with Shen Yaoxiang's consent. You have been living in his house, don't you think you are causing him trouble?"

"No, it's between me and him, you don't have to worry about it."

"...You returned home early because of him? You still refuse to admit your relationship with him?"

Wei Ning shrugged his shoulders, and said indifferently: "There's nothing to admit, it's just what you think, you can tell my uncle and my parents whatever you want."

The manager didn't seem surprised that he would say something like this: "Are you planning to break the pot?"

"Anyway, you'll know sooner or later. It doesn't matter if you know sooner or later." Wei Ning paused for a while, and finally looked at his manager, and said seriously: "Brother Li, the past few days You helped me a lot in [-], I really thank you, but I hope you don't interfere in the matter between me and Shen Yaoxiang, and don't cause me any problems in this aspect in the future, otherwise... we may not be able to continue to cooperate .”

"Are you talking about conditions with me, or threatening me?"

Wei Ning smiled wryly: "What can I threaten you with? With your current network resources, I don't know how many artists are waiting in line for you to bring, but I am in big trouble. Without you, it will not be easy to find someone you can trust again. .”

"That's not what I said, you are the golden signboard in my hand." The manager lit a cigarette, squinted his eyes and swallowed a few gloomily, hesitated for a while, and finally softened his attitude: "You and him I can ignore the matter, and I will not tell your family members, but you must promise me that you will not make it public, and try to keep a low profile so that no one will find out."

"it is good."

"The other thing is that work will be work in the future. This kind of behavior of acting impulsively regardless of everything, don't happen again."

"can."

In any case, they have worked together for so many years, and Wei Ning really didn't want to break up with his manager because of this kind of thing. Since he promised not to be troublesome, it's okay for him to make a concession.

The manager also breathed a sigh of relief and reminded him: "Let's go back to the company today, if it continues, it will really delay the release of the new album."

"Well, I'll be back in the afternoon."

"Also, there's a magazine interview next week and we're going to take photos, so you should prepare well."

Wei Ning was a little surprised when he heard that. In the past, no matter how famous a magazine was, he would be informed at most two days in advance. It was the first time that he was asked to prepare a week before: "What magazine?"

"T-star, and it's an American version, not only has an exclusive interview and inside pages, it should also be on the cover."

Wei Ning was very surprised: "Are you sure?"

The agent nodded with a smile: "Sure, it's a follow-up resource of the previous advertisement. The cover will be published together with several other spokespersons from Europe and America, and the inner page will be separate."

So... no wonder Wei Ning was so surprised, T-star is the No. 1 selling fashion and entertainment magazine in the United States and is very influential all over the world. The top supermodels and A-line magazines in Europe and the United States are all featured. There are very few big names in the mainland entertainment circle. He and Shen Yaoxiang have both been featured, but they were both on the Asian edition of the magazine. To be able to appear on the cover of the American edition, at least in the mainland entertainment circle, he is No.[-].

"This opportunity is not bad. The company has always planned to release records for you in North America. It is also a good thing to use this opportunity as a stepping stone to the market there. At least let those old beauties get acquainted with you first."

Wei Ning bit his lip, but now he didn't speak and fell silent, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

His manager frowned slightly, and asked: "You don't still mind the rumors on the Internet that you robbed Shen Yaoxiang of opportunities and resources, do you? This kind of thing depends on its own ability, and you don't owe him anything. ...Besides, since you are in that kind of relationship, he won't be so fussy about you, right?"

Wei Ning, who was a little listless, came back to his senses and shook his head: "I see, you go back first, I will go back to the company in the afternoon."

……

When Wei Ning came upstairs after talking with his manager, Shen Yaoxiang had already prepared breakfast, handed him chopsticks and asked casually, "Is the deal settled?"

Wei Ning nodded: "You gave him your phone? Is that why you want to drive me away?"

"Of course not," Shen Yaoxiang stretched out his hand to scratch his nose in a funny way, and explained: "I'm afraid that your work will be delayed, and you can't keep avoiding him, right?"

"As you wish, I'll go back in the afternoon." Wei Ning snorted unhappily, ignored him, and lowered his head to drink porridge.

Seeing his sullen look, Shen Yaoxiang asked curiously: "Isn't everything settled? Why do you still have this expression?"

"I'm going to shoot the inside page and cover of the T-star US edition next week, which is a follow-up resource for the previous endorsement."

"Really? That's very good, such a good opportunity is rare," Shen Yaoxiang said and suddenly stopped, seeing the depressed expression on his face, he instantly understood the reason for his abnormality, and said helplessly: "You won't Are you still arguing with me about this?"

"...I know you don't mind."

"That's fine."

"But other people's mouths can't be controlled, and those remarks that have something or nothing will definitely come out again."

Wei Ning actually doesn't care what the public thinks about him. He hasn't been hacked for so many years and he got used to it too early, but he really minds others' misinterpretation of his relationship with Shen Yaoxiang. Shen Yaoxiang was at odds with his heart, fighting against each other, and even saying something like stabbing a knife behind his back would make him feel very uncomfortable, but he couldn't justify anything.

Of course Shen Yaoxiang knew what he was thinking, so he comforted him and said, "Why don't I wait for the news to come out, and let me forward Weibo for you?"

"Farewell," Wei Ning rebuffed straight away, "If you transfer to those people, they will say that you backed me and deliberately pretended to be generous..."

Shen Yaoxiang laughed with a "poof": "It's boring to let you say it, that's all right, don't care what others say, just don't read those things."

"Oh……"

******

Although Shen Yaoxiang persuaded Wei Ning not to watch it, he couldn't ignore the comments on the Internet. After the news that Wei Ning was going to be on the cover of the US version of T-star came out, as he expected, it caused another stir on the Internet. It was bloody, because it was the follow-up resources of the previous advertising endorsement that took over from him. Originally, the fans of both sides were pinching each other endlessly. When the news came out this time, the flames of war were ignited again.

His fans were sour on Wei Ning, who stabbed him in the back, turned his face and refused to recognize anyone, and stepped on him to climb up. Wei Ning's fans retaliated against him shamelessly and sold him bitterly, gaining attention.

In fact, Shen Yaoxiang couldn't understand this other than being speechless. He and Wei Ning obviously took completely different development paths, and there were not many places where they overlapped. Peaceful coexistence, magazines, endorsements, achievements, contacts, status in the circle, everything is compared, and I don't know what it means.

Of course, apart from the online stuff, what Shen Yaoxiang couldn't bear the most was his manager's gossip. Seeing the news about Wei Ning's appearance in T-star magazine, his manager would have to say something bitter when he saw him, and Shen Yaoxiang didn't bother to refute. He simply pretended not to hear whatever he had to say.

The agent talked for a long time and saw that he didn't respond, so he was discouraged. For a man who fell in love and was dazzled by love, no matter how bad his partner is, he will probably only think that you are provoking Divide.

"Let me tell you, Wei Ning has already appeared in a magazine of this level, so you should work hard to improve yourself? Could it be that you really expect him to make money to support you in the future?"

Shen Yaoxiang couldn't stop laughing: "How is it possible, I'm not doing well now, and the studio is about to start up, and I still worry about making money. As for the superficial scenery, it doesn't matter."

"I want to tell you that there is a better opportunity in front of you now, do you want to think about it?"

"what?"

"Director Zhang Xinrong, he has seen all the movies you starred in, and is very interested in you. He wants to invite you to join him in the new movie he plans to shoot next year as the starring role, so as to help you develop into Hollywood."

"Really? How did you meet him?"

Shen Yaoxiang was really surprised. Zhang Xinrong is the best Chinese director who has won an Oscar. He has a very famous and status in the world. To be favored by this director Zhang is even a little flattered to him.

"I have contacted him several times when you were nestled in the gentle village and refused to come out. Prepare yourself. I will arrange for you to meet him."

"...What is the subject of the movie he wants to make, and where is it going to be shot?"

"War ethics film, the specifics are not clear, most of the filming should be in the United States." Seeing him as if hesitant, the agent persuaded: "Don't give up such a good opportunity, how many people are crowded out You can't get your head around the door of Hollywood, if you can play the leading role in his film, you won't have to worry about more film contracts and opportunities in the future."

Shen Yaoxiang fell silent when he heard the words. If Zhang Xinrong's film had been put aside, he would definitely take it without hesitation, but...

"I heard that director Zhang usually takes at least one or two years to finish filming a movie, right? Besides, if I really go to Hollywood to develop in the future, is it possible that I won't be able to come back in three or five years? "

"What's wrong with that?"

"...Let me think about it."
