Chapter 4

After returning home, Liu Lian checked her e-mail with great interest. Except for some advertisements and condolence e-mails from Xia Yan's fans, there were eight unread e-mails in it as Xia Yan said. The e-mails are all job invitations from large and small entertainment agencies.

Liu Lian read these invitations one by one, and suddenly felt that she was not that bad at work, at least there are still people rushing to ask for it. At the same time, Liu Lian also felt a little regretful that she signed a contract with Huazhong in such a hurry. As of now there is no choice at all.

Zhou Xue offered Liu Lian three options for the contract period, three years, five years, and ten years. Liu Lian originally wanted to sign for five years, but she was really afraid that she would be alone in Beijing when she was almost 40 years old. , In the end she took a step back and only signed for three years.Zhou Xue had no objection, but said that if the cooperation is happy in the future, the contract can be renewed.

Liu Lian's appointment time is five days later, and there is a buffer period of a few days in between. In the past few days, Liu Lian has worked overtime to read all the information about Lu Ziqi that Zhou Xue gave her, including Lu Ziqi's future career direction and ten years. long-term goals and short-term goals for each stage.

Liu Lian was amazed by the well-arranged itinerary. Since she became an agent, she has also brought five or six artists. It is not unheard of for her to be busy, but it is the first time I have seen someone like Lu Ziqi working with his life. arrive.At present, the company has received more than a dozen advertisements for Lu Ziqi. Now Lu Ziqi is in a mess, and Huazhong Company has taken a fancy to the blindness of fans, and has accepted all famous and unknown product endorsements. Take Lu Ziqi, the money tree, really shaking it to death.

The third day coincided with the day when Lu Ziqi was filming the commercial. Liu Lian drove directly to the filming site. It was a coffee shop with an elegant environment. There were crowds of people on three floors outside the cordon outside the coffee shop, and some little girls with messy faces were holding up posters of Lu Ziqi.

"The Zi flag is irreplaceable, and the surrounding flags are everywhere!"

"Ziqi, Ziqi, I love you, I love you more than I love myself!"

Liu Lian hurried into the coffee shop with screams one after another, and at a glance, she saw Lu Ziqi who was surrounded and served like an old Buddha sitting in a private room, and Zhou Xue who was standing next to Lu Ziqi happened to meet Liu Lian's eyes , he walked towards Liu Lian with a man, two women and three people.

"Xiao Lian." Zhou Xue said, "Let me introduce you, this is Yang Hui, Zi Qi's life assistant, who basically follows Zi Qi all day long."

Yang Hui is a well-behaved little girl with a sweet smile and stretched out her hand to Liu Lian: "Hello Sister Lian, please give me your advice in the future."

"Hello, hello." Liu Lian shook Yang Hui's hand.

"This is Qiu Shuyu." Zhou Xue pointed to another woman who looked more mature and exuded the powerful aura of Yujie from all over her body, "Zi Qi's work assistant, she has been with Zi Qi for a long time and knows more , you can ask her if you don’t understand anything, you can also find her for things you need to do, she is Zi Qi’s assistant in name, but she can also be counted as your helper.”

Qiu Shuyu stretched out her hand: "Hello."

Liu Lian shook her hand back and said, "Hi, please take care of me."

Qiu Shuyu pursed her lips and smiled softly: "Where, everyone takes care of each other."

"This is Chen Yi, my personal special assistant." Zhou Xue began to introduce the last gentle man wearing glasses, "Before you took over this job, it was Chen Yi who arranged Ziqi's work, so you might be right I am not very familiar with many aspects, I will let Chen Yi take you for a while first."

"En, okay." Liu Lian shook hands with Chen Yi, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

"This is my job." Chen Yi said with a smile.

After all the arrangements were made, it was time for the busy Zhou Xue to leave. Yang Hui and Qiu Shuyu went to appease Lu Ziqi, who was in a tantrum, while Chen Yi took Liu Lian to give her an understanding of Lu Ziqi's work arrangements and some precautions for the next six months.

Here, Chen Yi has almost finished speaking, while over there just entered the stage of filming.

Chen Yi and Liu Lian walked towards the director. Yang Hui and Qiu Shuyu were standing not far away. Yang Hui was complaining to Qiu Shuyu about Lu Ziqi's bad temper just now. Seeing Chen Yi and Liu Lian coming, she immediately shut up nervously, but Liu Lian still listened to most of it.

"The filming is about to start, shall we go and have a look?" Qiu Shuyu said to Chen Yi.

Chen Yi glanced at Yang Hui, who was silent with her head down, and looked away calmly: "The artificial rain is not ready yet, let's go later, by the way, Zi Qi doesn't look very well today. "

"Oh." Qiu Shuyu smiled, "Women always have a few days every month."

"That's it, then you should pay more attention to her emotions and don't put her under too much pressure. She has a lot of work, so she won't be able to break down." Chen Yi said.

Qiu Shuyu quickly said: "That is, that is."

Everything is almost ready. At the beginning, Lu Ziqi, who was surrounded by everyone like a queen, was sitting on the coffee chair for filming in every possible way. This commercial only needs to say one line from beginning to end, so Lu Ziqi's biggest job now is Wait, during the process, from time to time, a staff member came to tell her to pay attention to where to pay attention to, and Lu Ziqi accepted those people's suggestions humbly with a smile.

This made Liu Lian very surprised. The Lu Ziqi she saw at this time had no celebrity airs at all, and was definitely an amiable and approachable person, which was far from the image of her colleagues.

But it's better this way, Lu Ziqi's good temper means that Liu Lian's work is mostly easier.

"Director, everything is OK." The director's assistant ran in from outside the coffee shop panting.

"Ready?" the director asked.

"Okay." The assistant replied.

"That told them to start raining and get ready to shoot," the director said.

So the director's assistant ran out pitifully before taking a few breaths to deliver the order.

After the dense raindrops covered the entire scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the director stood up and shouted: "The lighting engineer, cameraman, logistics personnel, and those who are so and so, are you ready?"

Everyone said in unison: "Ready."

"OK—" the director dragged out his voice, "Action!"

Lu Ziqi deserves to be the actress who has won prestigious awards for two consecutive years. Her sensitivity to acting is not at all overshadowed. Almost as soon as the director's voice fell, Lu Ziqi quickly entered the state.

This time, Lu Ziqi is the endorsement for a certain brand of coffee. In just half an hour, he used his mature acting skills to interpret the delicacy of coffee to the fullest. Except for the picky director who NGed a few times because of Lu Ziqi's small mistake, the filming of this advertisement went extremely smoothly. .

Then Lu Ziqi left to remove makeup surrounded by Qiu Shuyu and Yang Hui. Liu Lian and Chen Yi went to the photographer to see the shooting results. The unedited and processed clips did not look aesthetically pleasing, but Lu Ziqi could still be held. The audience, presumably the effect of this advertisement will be very good.

After Liu Lian told the photographer a few less aesthetic shots that she thought had to be cut, she prepared to leave with Chen Yi.

"By the way, you are Lu Ziqi's new manager, right?" The director who was talking to his assistant suddenly stopped Liu Lian.

"Ah?" Liu Lian said, "Yes, I am."

The director's assistant immediately gave Liu Lian a business card, and the director said, "There is my contact information on it, I hope to have more opportunities to cooperate with you in the future, and I will ask someone to send it to your email when the finished product comes out. "

Liu Lian hurriedly handed over a piece of her business card: "Okay, I'm sorry to trouble you, this is my business card, and my email address is also on it."

This shabby conversation soon came to an end. When Liu Lian and Chen Yi returned to the staff lounge which was used as a temporary dressing room, Lu Ziqi, who was still smeared with cleansing oil on his face, sat on the sofa with his chest wrapped around his chest, his face frighteningly gloomy. , Yang Hui stood in front of Lu Ziqi at a loss, not daring to speak in a muffled voice.

The arrival of Chen Yi made Qiu Shuyu seem to see a savior, and hurried over to greet him: "Brother Yi."

Chen Yi also felt the low air pressure in the room, and asked, "What's going on?"

"Hey..." Qiu Shuyu sighed, and stopped talking for a long time, but still shook her head and said nothing.

"What's wrong?" Chen Yi walked over and said to Lu Ziqi, "Look at your expression, it looks like everyone owes you 5000 million."

Lu Ziqi raised his eyes and glanced at Chen Yi, snorted, turned his head and didn't speak, but his expression softened a bit.

Chen Yi winked at Yang Hui: "Take off her makeup soon."

"Okay, okay." Yang Hui moved up cautiously with a weeping face. Although Lu Ziqi was unhappy, but because of Chen Yi's face, he didn't show anything.

Before leaving, the director's assistant stopped Liu Lian again.

"This... Sister Liu, there is nothing we can do if the director is not satisfied. You also know that our director is very strict in judging people and things. This time it can only be regarded as a substandard set. Sister Lu still performed very well..." the director The assistant looked embarrassed, "I hope you can talk to Sister Lu well, and I will inform you of the next shooting time."

In the car, Chen Yi could easily see that something was wrong with Liu Lian, and asked, "Xiao Lian, what did the director tell you just now?"

"Oh, about the shooting." Liu Lian glanced at Lu Ziqi, who was wearing a coat and looking at her iPad, "The director is very dissatisfied with the scene layout of this shooting, and he asked for a new shoot next time."

Before Chen Yi could speak, Lu Ziqi threw the Ipad in his hand and yelled at Liu Lian: "Running to say such things at this time, what did he do long ago? He doesn't feel bad if the relationship doesn't cost him money, does he?" ?”

"Zi Qi!" Chen Yi frowned and shouted.

Lu Ziqi obviously had some scruples about Chen Yi, picked up the coat that had fallen to the ground, turned his head to the window and said nothing.

Qiu Shuyu and Yang Hui drove quietly, while the other sat in the passenger seat and pretended to be dumb.

Chen Yi asked: "Did they say when?"

"No." Liu Lian said, "He said he would contact us at that time. This director is a new director who debuted not long ago. It's normal for him to want to use a good film to attract people's attention. The commercial shooting is done. It will only benefit Lu Ziqi. Harm."

Chen Yi nodded and said with a smile: "It will be up to you then. You have been in this industry for so many years, and your reputation and reputation are quite good. Judging by your performance today, I actually think Mr. Zhou arranged for me to take you It's not necessary at all, I'll go talk to Mr. Zhou tomorrow and let you do it yourself."

"You praise me too much." Liu Lian said with a smile.

When the car drove out from the parking lot, it was unavoidable to be besieged by fans. Those people's faces were almost squeezed into a ball of flour on the car window. They shouted Lu Ziqi's name. The scene was as crazy as it was .

After the car threw them a certain distance, Chen Yi said, "Zi Qi, show your face."

Lu Ziqi hadn't recovered from the shock of the doughy faces stuck on the car window, and screamed, "I-I-don't-want-"

In the end, after taking a few breaths, Lu Ziqi spontaneously opened the car window and stuck his head out, waved to the fans who were running wildly behind him, and told them not to chase any more, and there was a burst of excited screams from behind. Voice.

After sending Lu Ziqi home and putting her on the bed, Liu Lian drove the Santana back to the apartment. There were five missed calls on her phone, all of which were from Xia Yan, and Liu Lian didn't intend to call back. Grab a change of clothes and go to the bathroom.

An hour later, Liu Lian wiped her wet hair and walked out of the bathroom. At this moment, the phone rang. Liu Lian thought it was another harassing call from Xia Yan. She picked up the phone and saw that it was from Lu Ziqi. .

Liu Lian answered the phone: "Hello."

Lu Ziqi said, "Come to my house, I have something to do."

Liu Lian was taken aback: "What's the matter?" She looked at the clock on the wall, it was already ten o'clock.

"Stop talking nonsense." Lu Ziqi said, "You'll know when it comes, it's not a good thing anyway."

Liu Lian: "...Okay, wait for me, I'll be right there."
