Chapter I
A city is autumn, the sky will be dusk, and the sky is full of clouds.
A plane that had been delayed at the airport in the center of the city finally landed, and the crowd waiting at the exit gradually became commotionous.
A short boy dressed as a student stretched out his arms and held up the pick-up card to squeeze in front of the crowd, his white face was the most common expectation and a trace of nervousness, and there were already shallow traces of sweat where the pick-up card came into contact with the tiger's mouth.
He kept searching for the influx of passengers, but he couldn't see the faces of these people because he wasn't tall. Before leaving the company, although the solo photo sent by his predecessor to him was very clear, he was still afraid of looking away when he met for the first time, and the person didn't look very kind, just an ordinary daily photo, but his eyebrows and eyes made him feel sharp and tough.
Lu Pin is just a little assistant who has been in the entertainment industry for less than a year, and the last artist he followed was a little singer from a talent show. After re-looking for an artist, he was idle by the company for nearly half a month, and finally received a message from a senior in the industry who has always respected him, recommending him to be in charge of a newly signed actor, and the words were extremely incendiary, describing this person as the company's resident director Yan Ru from overseas to find the pearl of the sea, but unfortunately the artist he was responsible for was at the most prosperous moment of his acting career, and he had no skills, so he gave this piece โกโกof fat to the conscientious juniors, and he could go to the airport to pick up the airport in a few days.
Lu Pin is young and shallow-minded, only when his senior brother is naturally warm-hearted, he did not go to other colleagues in the company to inquire, and directly took over this matter excitedly and movingly, after receiving the artist's photo, he felt that this person was handsome and had an immeasurable future.
So in the blink of an eye, on this day, he was about to see the real person, and Lu Pin only felt that his palms were sweaty.
However, his arms were sore, but he still didn't see a figure similar to that person, and the little assistant worked harder to step forward, his neck stretched straight.
The boarding pass in his hand was suddenly pulled, Lu Pin was defenseless, and the sign was easily taken away.
He turned his head and saw a pitch-black chest, and when he looked up again, he saw a tall man wearing sunglasses and a knee-length pure black trench coat holding his pick-up sign as if to make a confirmation.
The man stuffed the sign back into Lu Pin's hand and spoke: "The person you picked up is probably me, but you just raised the sign in reverse, and I didn't see it." โ
Lu Pin stood stunned in place, and the man didn't explain much when he saw this, so he took off his sunglasses so that he could see his appearance clearly.
The expression is the same as that of the person in the photo on the mobile phone, because it is too close, Lu Pin is inexplicably a little distracted, and feels that the picture seems to be of a low level of shooting, and the real skin looks better than in the photo.
The man didn't care too much about his unprofessional details, "Lead the way, I'll go with you to that company or something." โ
There is very little information about Zhou Erting in Lu Pin's hand, this person doesn't seem to have any performance records in the UK, and he doesn't even have a record of studying, but it is indeed recommended to the company's board of directors by Director Yan Ru after returning from a trip, which is the news that Director Yan's assistant confirmed with himself personally.
The company's senior management didn't seem to invest too much enthusiasm for this returnee, arranging an assistant as if selling face to Yan Ru, and distributing an MPV with a driver, and even the originally assigned assistant didn't respond too much to throw off the burden without authorization, and his cooperation contract was approved by Shun Shun Lรฌ, and the pick-up scene was also very deserted.
Lu Pin was originally a little worried, afraid that when the time came, the artists would dislike the shabby battle or that they were too dissatisfied, but Zhou Erting had always looked indifferent when he took a look at his face, and he couldn't see anything unpleasant, so he got into the car silently with him, and he was also very quiet in the back seat, all the way to look sideways at the scenery outside the window, and even after entering the company hall, he didn't even complain about the staff who greeted him.
This artist is really easy to raise. Lu Pin secretly commented in his heart, it didn't look as unfriendly as it was in the photo, but he had fewer words.
The background wall of the front desk opposite the entrance of the company hall is printed with a neat brush with big characters "Yuntu International", and now there are no popular actors coming back, and there are no other activities, and there is no trace of the paparazzi squatting on the side of the road. The hall was quiet, with only security and cleaning staff, and the front desk sitting in front of the computer and not knowing what to do.
Lu Pin was slightly embarrassed, and led Zhou Heting into the elevator, and after the elevator door opened, the middle-aged man inside happened to take a look at them.
"Yo, Xiao Lu. โ
Lu Pin said obediently: "Brother Zhang." โ
The man looked around and listened, his face full of doubts, "Who is this?"
"Oh, it's the artist I'm going to talk to, and I'm about to take him to sign a contract. โ
The person known as Brother Zhang has obviously heard of this matter, Lu Chong's case of throwing the little-known airborne soldier to Lu Pin has already spread in private, and the two people before meeting at this time suddenly understood in their hearts, and they smiled unfriendly, this stupid boy has to mix this circle if he doesn't open his eyes, his heart is shallow like his eye sockets, he was really sold and helped count the money.
"Then you're busy, I still have something to do. After that, he just looked at Zhou Erting, who had been silent, and left without looking back when he walked out of the elevator.
Entering the elevator, Lu Pin felt a little unhappy in his heart, he felt that Brother Zhang's attitude towards his own artists seemed to be a little indifferent, but he couldn't say the reason, so he had to press the floor absent-mindedly, and continued to introduce the various benefits of the company with Zhou Heting, and the other party's focus seemed to have run to other places.
"What about Yan Ru?" As soon as the words came out, he saw that Lu Pin couldn't react for a while, so he added, "He said that I would come to China to find him, are you going to take me to his studio?"
Lu Pinxin said that he had never heard of a new artist going straight to the director as soon as he joined the company, and it was taboo for actors to find a director in private, and now their first task should be to sign a contract, right?
Zhou He heard his expression, and he had some understanding in his heart, "It's okay to find him after signing the contract." Anyway, if I can see him today. โ
Lu Pin couldn't help but be a little curious about the relationship between Yan Ru and him. One is a prestigious inland director, and the other is a mysterious overseas artist, no matter how you look at it, it is a relationship that cannot be matched, but according to rumors, Yan Ru strongly recommended Zhou and listened to the board of directors, although in fact it proved that he did not win the attention he expected for this artist, but it also made those businessmen make an exception. Everyone has a heart for gossip, but the assistant still feels that there are some questions on his lips and is eager to verify.
It's a pity that the one-man show in the elevator is too embarrassing, and Lu Pin is already very reluctant to talk about the benefits of Yuntu by himself, and it is still too difficult for him to go around this kind of topic again.
Fortunately, Zhou Erting did not express any dislike for his stumbling eloquence, but just listened to him quietly, quietly waiting for the elevator to reach the designated floor, as if he was only the background accompaniment in the empty space.
In fact, an entertainment company like Yuntu International, which has a stable and large foundation in the industry, most of the artists and stars will not refuse the olive branch it has thrown, and its threshold is not low, and the newcomers it cultivates are all potential stocks.
After that, the cumbersome signing process was almost smooth, but Zhou Erting gradually showed a trace of impatience in the face of one agreement after another, which was also the first time he clearly expressed his personal feelings in the hours since Lu Pin picked up the airport.
"Personally, I recommend you to sign a full contract, so that our company will act as your ...... agent"
"You don't have to tell me this, just tell him," Zhou listened to the long speech that interrupted the female manager, casually pointed to Lu Pin who was standing aside, and ignored the stunned expressions of the two at the same time, his eyes wandered elsewhere, and then said, "It doesn't matter, I just want to know when you can take me to see Yan Ru." โ
The female manager has experienced so many signings, and it is the first time she has seen such an artist, she was a little caught off guard, "This, Director Yan is not an employee of our company, we don't know his itinerary, and there is no way to take you to meet him." And the artist is not ......"
"Before he returned to China, he told me that he would come here to find him as soon as he came to City A, and you told me that you didn't know where he was?" Zhou Erting the displeasure on his face became more and more aggravated, he was very impatient when this woman endlessly conjured up a mess of contracts for him to sign, who knew that now he actually told him that Yan Ru was not here, and the reason for his patience so far suddenly collapsed, and his irritable temper began to appear.
The female manager also has a temper, which artist star who has signed a contract with Yuntu for so many years does not treat her respectfully and carefully, this person is so ignorant of current affairs, and he is so rampage when he talks before he signs a complete set of contracts, but he is a small character who has an unclear relationship with the big director and comes in through the back door, and it is really rare to be so brazen and cheeky to find a backer.
Thinking like this, the female manager no longer pretended to be amiable before, slapped the contract directly on the table, and said angrily: "The contract is here, you can sign it yourself, there will be no more shops in this village." โ
Zhou Heting's face did not improve in the slightest, he took the pen with an impatient face and quickly signed his name on the contract, put down the pen and turned around and walked out of the conference room in a dashing manner, leaving Lu Pin, who looked stupid, and the female manager who didn't know whether to be angry or shocked.
Secretly seeing the female manager's angry appearance, Lu Pin suddenly felt that he was still too young, and he thought that this person was easy to raise or something, it was just nonsense.
