Atypical official match [entertainment circle]

"Sir, your card cannot be used."

The waiter at Moulton's said politely.

Gu Xi, who was drinking coffee after dinner, choked on a mouthful: "Ahem... I'm sorry, what did you say?"

"This card of yours cannot pay the bill, sir." The waiter repeated patiently.

Gu Xi's heart skipped a beat, but he still pretended to be calm and said: "This is unlikely. Could it be that there is something wrong with your machine, or something like a system failure? Please confirm again."

So the waiter cautiously took the card and checked it again. Facts have proved that the machine system is fine, but the card cannot be used.Gu Xi hurriedly took out another card, but it didn't work either.

Now Gu Xi finally couldn't calm down anymore, and under the waiter's gradually indifferent gaze, he decisively picked up the phone and called his father.The phone was connected, but no one answered it. Gu Xi had no choice but to call his elder brother again, but it turned out to be a voicemail...

The waiter stood by Gu Xi for too long, and there were customers from the surrounding tables looking at him curiously. Gu Xi was so embarrassed that he hurriedly said, "I'll contact my friend."

Under the contemptuous eyes of the waiter, Gu Xi clicked on WeChat, and a small group of six people called "Rich Knights" were chatting.

Luo Wei (LV): "Finally home, let's get together at the 80th floor of China World Trade Center next Saturday. What are you busy with after returning home?"

Ye Shilan (YSL): "It's too miserable. My mother forced me to go on a blind date. She also boasted that I graduated from a prestigious music school and can play the piano very well. She insisted on me playing a song... I'll play cotton! I'm not Gu Xi!"

He Moshi (Hermès): "Yes, Gu Xi should play the piano, and Gu Xi can also play the violin."

Dior: "Gu Xi can also play the clarinet."

Luo Wei (LV): "Gu Xi can also play drums."

Shang Rui (Chanel): "Gu Xi can form an entire band by himself, and it will definitely make my aunt look good, hahahaha."

Gu Xi (Gucci): "..."

Gu Xi (Gucci): "Your Gu Xi has no money to pay for dinner at Moulton. If no one helps to pay the bill, he may go to the police station and never play again."

Ye Shilan (YSL): "Hahahaha, nonsense, the most I can do is to go to the police station to pay a fine and give a few words of education after eating the overlord meal. Why did I say goodbye forever?"

Gu Xi (Gucci): "Because my dignity as an artist is gone!"

Luo Wei (LV): "Pfft, although this joke is a bit of a second-guess, it's still quite funny."

Gu Xi (Gucci): "I swear on the name of Mozart, this is not a joke."

Everyone: "..."

Shang Rui (Chanel): "I'm near Morton, you wait, I'll go there now."

Gu Xi (Gucci): "Well, thanks."

Gu Xi heaved a sigh of relief, raised his head and said to the waiter who was about to roll his eyes to the sky, "My friend will come over to pay later."

The waiter turned and left without saying anything.Gu Xi saw the waiter walk over and whisper a few words to the security guard at the door, and then the security guard kept staring at him, obviously afraid that he would sneak away.

Gu Xi couldn't laugh or cry.

Think of him, Gu Xi, the second youngest of Gu's Hotel Group, whose family assets exceed tens of billions. The company has more than 7000 hotels, and the furthest ones have opened to Madagascar.Normally, Gu Xi wouldn't look down even if there was gold at his feet while walking, but now he is suspected of eating the overlord's meal!

In order to relieve the embarrassment that almost suffocated him, Gu Xi urgently needed to find something to divert his attention. He looked around the restaurant, got up and walked towards a piano in the middle hall.

The slender index finger tapped the keys casually a few times, the tone was clear and accurate, so Gu Xi sat down and played "Canon" along with the last note he pressed.

The smooth and melodious sound of the piano poured out. The person sitting in front of the piano had broad shoulders and long legs. He was tall and straight. He was wearing a beige trench coat, showing the elegance of a British gentleman.

The slightly curly black hair, the high nose bridge and the deep-set eye sockets combine the beauty of both East and West, with white skin and red lips. It is simply a masterpiece of God, and many diners around are staring in amazement.

However, excessive beauty is a burden for those who work hard, just like when Gu Xi was studying abroad at the Royal Academy of Music, he hoped that the professors would focus on his singing or creation instead of being dazed after listening Said to him foolishly, "You sing so beautifully" or "Your song is so handsome"...

This can be regarded as a small obstacle in his pursuit of music, Gu Xi sighed, and the sound of the piano gradually became more and more resentful.

However, what confuses him is that Gu Xi graduated with all A's in both vocal and composition majors. His vocal range ranges from low C to high C. He is good at piano, violin, harp, lyric, empathy, romance, touching the scene, making himself passionate, and deep in love. ...

But why is there no economic company willing to sign him!Is it because he insisted on wearing a mask during the interview?

No, Gu Xi has almost guessed the real reason, and that is the biggest obstacle in his pursuit of music: his father.

His father has always opposed him learning music and becoming a singer, hoping that after graduation, he will inherit his father's business and help his elder brother manage the family business together.Therefore, Gu Xi did not dare to go home after graduating and returned to China. He stayed in his own hotel and went to interviews with major brokerage companies.

Gu Xi believed that it was because of his father's pressure behind his back that no brokerage company dared to sign him.In order to force him to go home, his father asked the hotel to forcibly refund his room this morning, and now his card has also been suspended.

Gu Xi is almost desperate now.

Obstacles, obstacles everywhere... The road to ideals is full of difficulties. Gu Xi's resentment and unwillingness to be unappreciated was surging in Gu Xi's chest. He suddenly raised his hand and pressed heavily on the piano keys several times.

"Dangdangdangdangdang!!" The tactful "Canon" suddenly turned into Beethoven's "Fate", which made people unprepared. The guests in the entire restaurant twitched, and the male guest at the table closest to Gu Xi was so frightened. The forks fell off.

The player who plays the piano seems to be possessed by Beethoven. The more he plays, the more he devotes himself to it, and the more he plays, the more furious he is, as if he is crying out his soul through the sound of the piano: everything in front of him is a test of fate, he cannot admit defeat!

When Gu Xi finally played the whole song with all his heart, and when he opened his eyes bathed in the brilliance of Li(zhong)zhi(er), someone behind him applauded.

The friends who came to give the money applauded: "Good!" It was like watching a street performer.The restaurant luthier who had gone to nowhere just now was also standing aside, looking at Gu Xi vigilantly, for fear that Gu Xi was here to steal his job.

"..." Gu Xi was so embarrassed that he stood up hastily and went back to the dining table in his corner.

The friend who came here is called Shang Rui, whose English name is Chanel, that is, Chanel. She is fashionable and rich, but the key is that the dialect pronunciation is exactly the same as her real name.

Chanel and Gu Xi have known each other since they were young. The investment banker in their family is also a wealthy second generation with a net worth of tens of billions.

Chanel settled the bill for Gu Xi, ordered two more cups of coffee, took a sip slowly, and asked, "What's the matter with you?"

Gu Xi frowned and said irritably, "My dad suddenly stopped my card."

"Isn't it?" The friend was a little surprised, raised his eyebrows and said: "Your old man has always loved you, why?"

Gu Xi thought for a while and said, "Probably because he found out about my interview with the agency."

"Pfft—you really went to the interview, do you really want to enter the entertainment industry? Stop kidding!" Chanel smiled and shook her head as if she had heard a big joke.

Gu Xi sat upright, and said with a serious face: "Please don't laugh at my dream! Even if you just helped me pay for my meal."

"It's no longer a dream to play cotton these days."

Chanel snorted, and said: "If you want me to say, it's fine to play music when you are in school. Those from families like ours will inherit the family business in the future. You should accept your fate early, and go home and admit your mistake to the old man, Ka Thaw it out."

"I don't want to inherit the family business, and besides my brother is here, he is much more capable than me in business, so I just want to write and sing songs." Gu Xi made up his mind, as if no one persuaded him to use it.

"It's wrong to leave the Gu family's second young master in good condition. He has to go to the big dye vat in the entertainment industry." Chanel glanced at him and concluded: "You are doing it."

Gu Xi didn't bother to refute. He didn't expect others to understand, as long as he was determined.

I don't know if God sensed Gu Xi's determination, but suddenly a text message was sent to his cell phone.

"I am Shen Yu, the executive manager of Empire Entertainment Media Company. If you are interested in signing a contract, please come to Empire State Building A2301 at [-] o'clock this afternoon to discuss signing matters."

Gu Xi: "!!!"

This text message was like a ray of light, suddenly illuminating Gu Xi's dim ideal road, he couldn't hold back his excitement, he got up and was about to go outside.Chanel was startled by him, put down her coffee and shouted, "Stop! Why are you going halfway through the sentence?"

Gu Xi excitedly said: "Empire Entertainment, sign the contract!"

Chanel froze for a moment, why did she suddenly want to sign a contract? He was about to speak a few words of persuasion, but Gu Xi had already left in a hurry.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Gu Xi was sitting in a small office in the Empire Entertainment Building with a dazed look on his face.

"Aren't you from the music department?"

The man sitting across from him was Shen Yu, the manager who sent text messages to Gu Xi. He was tall and thin in his thirties, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and said kindly: "Yes, I don't bring a singer. Responsible for bringing newcomers to the film and television industry."

Gu Xi was still a little confused, he asked again: "But I was interviewed in the music department before, how do you know me?"

Shen Yu smiled, and said, "The resources in the music department are tight, and there are not many people signing this year. I happened to pass by on the day of your interview, and I think you are in good condition in all aspects. Apart from singing, you are also quite suitable to be an actor, so I will contact you gone."

Shen Yu's words were very tactful, but Gu Xi understood immediately, the music department didn't want him.

Shen met Gu Xi without speaking, thinking he was disappointed, and comforted him: "Actually, it still depends on whether you want to join the company or not. Our company's internal resource allocation is not so absolute. If you act well, you can sing, or if you sing well, you can sing." Acting, there are many artists who have developed in multiple habitats, the key is to see if you can become popular."

Gu Xi was not very depressed at this time, after all, he was quite confident in his own strength, and he even sympathized with the music department that was pressured by his father.

However, Shen Yu's words made Gu Xi suddenly cheerful. Since the singer's road was blocked by his father, it's better to sign another curve to save the country first.

After figuring it out, Gu Xi didn't hesitate much, and said directly: "That's fine, let me have a look at the contract."

Shen Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, and was not in a hurry to get Gu Xi to sign the contract, but said kindly: "Some things have to be said first, I only sign obedient artists, obey management arrangements, and be down-to-earth. Of course, I will try my best to consider Your personal wish; but if you want to take a shortcut and go sideways, then I'm sorry, I can't take it."

Although Shen Yu kept smiling when he said this, Gu Xi felt that he might not be as kind as he looked.

However, Shen Yu's words were just in line with Gu Xi's wishes. He always advocated relying on strength to speak, and never disdained crooked ways.

Gu Xi roughly scanned the contract and found that it was a template contract for newcomers. There was nothing in the training direction and packaging plan. It only stipulated the basic rights and obligations of both parties. : "That...are you covering it?"

"It can be arranged. The staff dormitory is usually shared by two people." Shen Yu said.

"Okay." The treatment between the two of them could no longer be picky, so Gu Xi signed the contract with a swipe of his pen.

After signing the contract, Shen Yu flipped through another piece of information on the table, and said, "It just so happens that there is a new anchor who has just been assigned to me. He currently lives in a dormitory by himself, so you can move in with him. Well, when he comes later let him take you there, just to learn from him."

"...What to learn?" Gu Xi couldn't think of what he could learn from an anchor.

Shen Yu said with a normal face: "Of course I'm learning live broadcasting, you probably don't have any experience in this field, do you?"

Gu Xi suddenly felt cheated: "This is different from what you just said, didn't you bring actors?"

Shen Yu explained calmly: "This is the rule of Emperor Entertainment. The first step to signing a newcomer is to live broadcast on the company's platform. Only when the number of fans accumulated in the live broadcast reaches a certain number can you have a chance to get resources. Of course, if you have a fan base, We can also skip this step, how many fans do you have on Weibo?"

Gu Xi: "..."

Just as Gu Xi was about to speak, suddenly there was a loud "bang" from behind, as if something had slammed into a glass door, and it was very painful to hear.

He turned his head to look at the door of the office, and there was a person squatting on the ground with his head in his arms.
