Lin Chen leaned back on the sofa and did not answer directly.

Zhou Weiguo's opening of a company is not a big deal, and it is not 30 years ago, and various conditions are required to open a company. Establishing a company now is as simple as bringing money, ID cards, and proof of business premises. If the materials are complete, you can register successfully on the same day.

What really surprised Lin Chen was that the other party invited him to join the company: "Why are you looking for me?"

Lin Chen thought that the other party would make a big speech, emphasizing his identity, fame, and commercial value, proving that signing him was the best choice. However, Zhou Weiguo didn't do that, but smiled bitterly: "I don't want to forcibly pull out its artists at a certain dinner." ”

This sentence sounded confusing, but Lin Chen could understand the other party's thoughts.

The first layer is very simple, why would you go to a certain dinner party to forcibly take the artist away? Because the dinner is not simple, it is not a normal dinner, but a special dinner outside of work.

The second meaning was more profound, and he said the reason why he invited Lin Chen, because he would not be moved by the temptation outside of work, and it was impossible to accept the unspoken rules, so he was willing to cooperate with him.

In addition to the above two meanings, this sentence also has a third meaning, which is a promise to Lin Chen.

As long as he joins the company, Zhou Weiguo will not let Lin Chen bear the unspoken rules outside of work, and he will use all his strength to protect Lin Chen's comfort.

A simple sentence is both a guarantee and an affirmation, and by the way, Lin Chen was impressed, Zhou Weiguo was indeed not simple.

From the side, with Zhou Weiguo's ability, he can't live normally in the circle, you can imagine how bad the environment in that circle is.

Lin Chen didn't answer, but took the hat on his head in his hand and said, "Thank you Mr. Zhou for recognizing me, but Mr. Zhou should also know that I have decided to quit the entertainment industry and become an anchor with peace of mind." ”

"Yes, I know. Zhou Weiguo nodded: "Maybe Mr. Lin doesn't believe it, it is precisely because I heard that Mr. Lin is preparing to quit the entertainment industry that I have the courage to appear here." ”

Lin Chen raised his head, and there was some interest in his expression: "I would like to hear about it." ”

Zhou Weiguo's spirit was shocked, he was not afraid of wasting his tongue, and he was even more worried that the other party would be indifferent. Now that the other party has reacted, it means that he is one step closer to success.

"Mr. Lin should understand his commercial value, and it is no exaggeration to say that as long as you are willing to enter the entertainment industry, you can choose from large and small entertainment companies. Although Zhou is pretentious, he does not think that he has any advantage in front of big entertainment companies. However, it was precisely because you were retiring from the entertainment industry that I had the opportunity to do it once. He said sincerely.

Lin Chen nodded silently, he believed that Zhou Weiguo was not lying. is the same as the other party said, if he wants to stay in the entertainment industry, he can easily get a contract.

"Why does Mr. Zhou think he has a chance? Even if I want to stay in the entertainment industry, why don't I choose a big company and cooperate with you?" Of course, those reasons were not enough to convince him.

Hearing this question, Zhou Weiguo showed a smile and said confidently: "Mr. Lin has debuted for more than half a year, and he must also know the appearance of large companies, and they will arrange many activities outside of work. If you want to turn down those activities, you have to sign a very demanding contract. My side is different, you are not a subordinate, but a collaborator, enjoy all autonomy, and no one can force it. ”

I have to say that Zhou Weiguo is full of sincerity, and he can impress many people with just one autonomy.

What is the most important thing in the entertainment industry? Autonomy.

Not all celebrities accept the unspoken rules, and there are many celebrities who stick to their hearts and are unwilling to go along with the dirt. But there was no way, they couldn't help themselves, so they could only accept the company's arrangement.

What is the reason? It's a paper contract.

There are many ancillary treaties on the contract, and those treaties restrict the freedom of celebrities. Either accept it, lose a lot of money, or die.

In the circle, the company that can redeem himself with money is considered a conscientious company, and most companies will not release anyone even if they give money, and they will never release anyone if they do not squeeze him dry and wipe him clean.

What do celebrities pursue when they climb up? What they pursue is autonomy, the opportunity to decide their fate.

Compared with the entire entertainment industry, the autonomy given by Zhou Weiguo seems to be very small and insignificant, but it distinguishes Lin Chen from other stars from the very beginning.

Lin Chen exhaled a breath of turbid air to calm himself down. I have to admit that he was tempted.

Why quit the entertainment industry?

No matter how nice it sounds, no matter how high-sounding it is, whether it is to accompany his family or take care of the audience, it still can't hide the fact that he is afraid of the entertainment industry.

He didn't wake up, but was frightened by the rules of the entertainment industry.

The good old man in the eyes of the audience hid from the newcomer and took them to various dinners, and the newcomer had to force a smile and accompany a group of old men in order to get on the throne. The artist's betrayal of his agent, the cruelty of his predecessors to his juniors, and a series of things destroyed his three views and made him not want to look directly at the side of reality.

It was a distorted place, and Lin Chen was afraid that he would be assimilated by the circle and turn into a disgusted look. It's not that he doesn't have confidence, but there are too many hands in the circle who want to pull him into the water, and he bears the malice in the circle all the time.

What's even more terrifying is that those who are malicious in the mainstream of the circle, and those who adhere to their principles have become outliers.

In order not to be assimilated, he could only flee and never contact the circle again.

Now it's different, Zhou Weiguo's appearance gave him a glimmer of hope, he understands Zhou Weiguo's character, knows that the other party's company will not have messy things, and will not force him to bear the unspoken rules. ’

has the opportunity to live an innocent life, and you still want to leave the entertainment industry?

After hesitating for a long time, Lin Chen finally shook his head: "Forget it, I have promised the audience to leave the entertainment industry and live broadcast with peace of mind, I still don't want to disappoint them." ”

Yes, he chose to refuse.

It's hard to regain calm and enjoy rare happiness, so why wade into muddy waters again. What you have in the entertainment industry, it's not that there is nothing in the live broadcast industry, so why bother going far and entering an unfamiliar field. And he doesn't trust Zhou Weiguo very much.

People's hearts are fickle, and the original Zhou Weiguo is a protector, protecting his artists from the dark, and he will not retreat half a step even if he is injured. Now, can it still be done?

Lin Chen didn't know, and he didn't want to know, he only knew that he didn't regret his choice when he made it.

Zhou Weiguo looked directly at Lin Chen's eyes, and did not see any hesitation in these eyes, he understood that the other party had already thought clearly.

"Whew...... It's a shame that I don't seem to have the opportunity to work with Mr. Lin. He sighed lightly, although he regretted it, there was also an unconcealed appreciation in his tone: "But I really envy Mr. Lin, I can let go of everything freely, I can't do it, the obsession is too deep, and I can't be detached." ”

"What is detachment, never retreat in the face of difficulties, isn't it another kind of detachment?" Lin Chen also admired Zhou Weiguo and his spirit of not looking back after hitting the south wall.

"Haha, Mr. Lin is high. After laughing twice, Zhou Weiguo slowly restrained his smile and said seemingly casually: "It's a pity that there are many vulgar people in Hongchen, sometimes, the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, Mr. Lin, you and I encourage each other." ”
