Looking at the time, Du Caige found that he didn't have time to sleep in the cage, so he quickly washed up and went out to take a taxi.

He looked at the schedule on his phone:

Meeting. Meet Don Sr. At noon, I have to invite a few teachers of the magic drama to dinner, if the end time is early, I can take a break, and in the afternoon, I have to interview a few actors with Meng Zhaolong.

Then today he agreed to pick up Cai Wei from school and take her to the cinema to watch a cartoon in the evening. Together with Yan Yingzhen.

Today is another day when you can't be a salted fish.

First thing in the morning: to the company for a meeting.

There were many topics at the meeting, but Du Caige did not express his opinions for most of them, and only said a few words on topics such as Duan Xiaochen's trip to Sakura Island, Starlight Cinema in a few days, and Meng Zhaolong's new film preparations.

At 10 o'clock, only half of the topics were discussed at the meeting, and Du Caige left early and hurriedly took the subway to catch up.

On the subway, he pulled the ring, and gradually wanted to wander outside the object.

Suddenly, a slightly chubby girl, dressed like a student, with a ball-combed hair, came over and said a little nervously, "Hemingway, are you Hemingway?"

Du Caige nodded.

Noticing the eager eyes of several people around him, he wanted to sigh, he was really not good at dealing with fans.

"Great! I'm a fan of yours, can you sign me?" chubby girl exclaimed in surprise.

"I'm not a star," Du Caige smiled slightly, "I haven't practiced signing." ”

He lied about that. Thousands of names signed at the book signing...... It's a very intense practice.

"Forehead......" The chubby girl didn't expect him to answer like this, she was a little stunned for a while, and then said after a while, "It's okay, I don't mind if your handwriting looks good or not." ”

Du Caige still didn't take the notebook she handed over.

He used to sign Shao Yongshi because the other party said "I like your music very much" at the time, and never said that he was a fan of him!

Du Caige has always believed that he is not an artist star, he does not need fans, and he has no obligation to meet the needs of fans to chase stars.

"Do you like my movies or music?"

"I haven't seen your movie yet," the chubby girl said a little embarrassed, "but I'll find time to make up for it, I like you because I watched 'Music New Power'!"

It turned out to be a variety show fan.

"This ...... It's fine, but," Du Caige said earnestly, "there is a good saying: if you like eggs, you don't need to know the chicken that lays eggs." I'm not an idol star, I'm a creator who speaks with my work after all. So, please don't be a fan of me, and don't chase my work because of me. ”

"I want people to focus more on my work than on me as a person. ”

The chubby girl's expression was a little embarrassed, and she didn't know if she should take it back while holding the notebook.

Du Caige looked around, thought about it, and still didn't want to embarrass her too much, sighed lightly, and took her notebook.

When he opened it, there were more than a dozen signatures on it, but he couldn't make out who it was.

In this place of the magic capital, there are not many big and small stars, and it is not surprising that she can collect more than a dozen signatures.

Du Caige turned to a blank page, swiped his name on it, and handed it to the chubby girl.

He opened his mouth, but said nothing. After all, he has never known anything in his life, and what he just preached is actually a bit redundant.

After this little episode, the rest of the people did not rush up and rushed to him for autographs.

Although his popularity is relatively high, he is not a big star.

In Shirai City, he will be chased and intercepted as soon as he appears, because the audience base of the "new power of music" in Shirai City is larger, and the atmosphere of chasing stars is stronger.

And in a big city like the magic capital, although he is the "godfather of pop music in the new century", he is "the first online writer", and now he is also a "young director who has become famous".

But in the end...... Actually, it's nothing, just a drop of water in the ocean.

When Du Caige got off the subway, a young man followed and got off the train, looked in the direction where Du Caige's back disappeared, but did not follow.

He picked up his phone and clicked to play the video he had just recorded.

From the time the girl went to ask Du Caige for an autograph, until Du Caige finished signing it.

"I didn't expect him to be an interesting person...... "The boy muttered.

......

Where men meet and chat, if it is in the evening, it is mostly a clubhouse and a clear bar. If it's daytime, it's nothing more than a tea room or something.

I met with Tang Yezhi today, and the place was chosen by Tang Yezhi.

But it is a very antique shop, there are some finely carved tables and chairs in the hall, and a few girls in ancient costumes in the corner are playing pipa, guzheng, etc., babbling and singing.

Walking here, it is like suddenly changing time and space, returning to the ancient prosperous times, and coming to the most lively teahouse in the city.

The four people at this table are all old acquaintances.

Tang Yezhi of Huayu Entertainment, and a fat and dignified lady are Li Xiaoqiong, the deputy general manager of Huayu.

Here is Du Caige and his agent Fan Yuhong.

Tang Yezhi opened the cigarette case, took out one and handed it to Fan Yuhong, and said with a smile, "I heard that you were sick and had surgery before, and you can't die." ”

"I can't die for a while. Fan Yuhong smiled and stuffed the cigarette into his mouth.

"Da!" Tang Yezhi's lighter ignited a small flame.

Without waiting for the flame to get close to the cigarette that Fan Yuhong was holding in his mouth, he quickly snatched the cigarette away from the side with one hand.

Fan Yuhong was stunned, and Tang Yezhi shouted angrily: "Little brother, you have gone too far!"

"He wasn't cured, he was just dragging on. Do you want him to die sooner?" Du Caige said dissatisfiedly.

Tang Yezhi's chubby face like fermented dough squeezed his eyebrows: "If you are paralyzed, you will continue to smoke if you can't die, what does it matter." ”

", just don't smoke in front of me. Don't smoke either, in the future, when Lao Fan is not there, I will smoke a few packs with you. Today he is in front of him, you pay attention, people have wives and children, unlike you who have no worries. Du Caige's tone was light.

Tang Yezhi was not annoyed, put down the cigarette case, and asked Fan Yuhong with interest: "I heard that you are leaving? ”

Fan Yuhong smiled bitterly: "I haven't left yet—but it's almost there." After all, I can't live with her. ”

"I'm very impressed with your mother-in-law, it's really not a fuel-efficient lamp, hey, Lao Fan, are you sure your hat hasn't changed color?" Tang Yezhi quipped.

Their relationship is very good, Tang Yezhi's words are actually quite excessive, but Fan Yuhong is not annoyed, just smiled bitterly: "I'm sure it's a bird, they've been separated for so long, I don't even know where she spends the night at night." Let her go, let her go, I can't control her now. ”

Tang Yezhi laughed a few times mockingly.

However, their relationship is very good, and this ridicule is not malicious, and after laughing, he enlightened: "You have been together for decades, and it is not so easy to leave cleanly if you want to." Besides, you're just playing outside, and you don't leave a seed outside, you're so scared of a fart. If she wants to leave, you will be more generous, leave. I promise she'll come back to you in a year and a half. has been with you for half her life, and she must not be used to it without you. ”

"She's high-spirited, it's difficult. ”

They were chatting here, while Li Xiaoqiong and Du Caige were exchanging music matters.

Although Huayu Entertainment has also begun to transform in recent years, it has spent a lot of money to enter the film and television industry.

signed some actors, filmed a few TV series, and cast a few movies, but compared with Oasis Film and Television and Jiutian Media, it can only be regarded as a small fight, and even worse than Zongheng Pictures.

The fundamental business of Huayu Entertainment is actually music.

It's just that in the current market, it's getting harder and harder to make money making music.

That's why Huayu Entertainment seeks transformation.

In the past year, due to the cooperation with Du Caige, Huayu Entertainment's music business has shone brightly, but in fact, there is not much money in hand.

Du Caige didn't know how to operate, although he listened to Li Xiaoqiong's complaints, he couldn't do anything.

After some idle talk, Tang Yezhi took out a cigarette and stuffed it into his mouth.

Du Caige's sharp gaze immediately fell on him.

Tang Yezhi smiled: "I don't smoke, I just smell it." ”

After a pause, he asked, "You came to me today to talk about Xiao Jiang, why haven't you been on topic?"

"That's a small thing, no rush. ”

"Little things,, Xiao Jiang is also a first-line star now. The belonging of Huayu Entertainment's No. 3 artist, are you paralyzed and tell me that it's a trivial matter?" Tang Yezhi laughed angrily, and the fat on his chin shook and shook.

Du Caige's pair of sword-like eyebrows raised, "How big can this matter be?" ”

Tang Yezhi smiled, put the cigarette in his mouth, and although he didn't light it, he still took a few puffs hard.

This action reminded Du Caige of Wu Mengda's performance in "Truant Dragon", taking a piece of bamboo to inhale smoke.

I can't help but laugh when I think about it.

Tang Ye smiled and said, "Laugh at your sister." You talk to Mr. Li, I'm just the deputy director of the music division, and I can't do enough to speak. ”

"Brother Tang, you have what you say!" Although Li Xiaoqiong is not young, she still has a bit of charm when she is coquettish, "The boss said that even if it is the position of general manager, you can sit well." It's that you don't want to take care of things, you just need the title of a music division. You usually talk and do things, which of us dares to care, and which one dares to treat you as a subordinate?"

"Xiao Jiang's matter, you just have to make up your mind, I just came over to chat with Mr. Hemingway today. ”

Li Xiaoqiong put her attitude so low, Tang Yezhi was very useful, and smiled.

"What do you say, brother, I know that Xiao Jiang wants to go with you, and our Huayu is not the kind of impersonal company, so we will definitely not embarrass him. ”

Du Caige shook his head and smiled: "You said so, I'm embarrassed to take advantage of your company? His liquidated damages are 50 million?"

"That's right now. ”

Du Caige understood what he meant, "It's like this now", but if the contract is renewed, it will definitely be different. 、

And renewing the contract is a sure thing.

Jiang Youxi was only a fourth- or fifth-tier star before, but now he has rushed to a position close to a first-tier star, and the contract must be different.
