Chapter 2: The Opportunity Before Saying Goodbye
"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”
When Lu Zhou was lying on the hospital bed, there was a sudden knock on the door of the ward, and a slender figure walked in.
Lu Zhou looked back at it, and the person who came was Nan Qiao.
She wore a pair of sunglasses that almost covered half of her face, a black cap buttoned around her head, and a female assistant was accompanied by a large fruit basket.
"Sister Nan."
Lu Zhou sat up with his body propped up and greeted her politely.
He and Nan Qiao are both signed by Jinhua Entertainment, Nan Qiao is a few years older than him, and he is his fellow sister.
Coming from the same company, but the gap is like a world apart.
Nan Qiao is a popular artist in the company, and he is very valued, and there has always been no shortage of resources in the company. According to the usual time in the company, the two of them met each other, only Lu Zhou knew her, but the other party couldn't remember which onion Lu Zhou was related to.
But now, an unexpected sacrifice for redemption...... Let Nan Qiao get to know Lu Zhou.
Probably out of gratitude and guilt, the number of times Nan Qiao came to visit him in the hospital, plus today, there have been three times.
"Xiao Zhou, how do you feel? Are you better? ”
Nan Qiao came in with a smile and bent down to look at his head wrapped in gauze.
"It's much better, the doctor said that he can be discharged from the hospital after two more days of observation."
Lu Zhou was a little uncomfortable with such a close communication, and subconsciously leaned back a little.
"I see that your complexion is indeed much better than before."
Nanjo pulled a chair and sat on the edge of the bed, and her assistant put the fruit basket on the table and walked out on her own.
"Didn't your family come to see you?"
Nan Qiao looked at the empty ward and subconsciously cared.
She also came to visit the hospital three times, and each time she came to him without anyone to accompany her, Nan Qiao began to wonder if Lu Zhou was an orphan.
"I was afraid that my family would be worried, so I didn't tell them about my injury." Lu Zhou said.
Nan Qiao cast an apologetic look at him again, "You tell me in advance when you are discharged from the hospital, and I will arrange for someone to come and pick you up." ”
"Don't bother, I can do it myself."
"Don't always reject me, otherwise I will feel guilty and I don't know how to repay your kindness."
Nan Qiao was a little helpless in the face of this man who was injured because he saved himself.
She had offered to give him an additional amount of compensation, but he didn't, saying that the company would pay for work-related injuries...... Now she wants to arrange for someone to take him out of the hospital, but he refuses......
In fact, Lu Zhou did not deliberately reject Nan Qiao, but just subconsciously acted.
Although Lu Zhou was unlucky when he was injured this time, if he thought about it carefully, if it wasn't for this accident, he wouldn't have woken up.
It was an extra surprise.
Nan Qiao arranged a VIP ward for Lu Zhou and covered his medical expenses, and Lu Zhou felt that she had done enough.
"Do you have any plans after you are discharged from the hospital? I heard that you are going to terminate the contract with the company, and you will not mix in the entertainment industry? Is it true? ”
Nan Qiao cut to the next topic, looking at him with a hint of pity and weakness in his eyes.
"......" Lu Zhou pondered for a moment and said: "I did have this idea before, after all, I haven't improved at all after so many years, so I want to see other opportunities." ”
Nan Qiao paused slightly.
"After struggling for so many years, don't you think it's a pity to give up like this?"
"I watched some of your practice room videos two days ago, and I feel that your personal strength is still okay, but you lack a little luck and exposure."
Lu Zhou has worked silently for so many years, and he hasn't received much attention in the company, and it is really commendable to be recognized by Nan Qiao today.
He smiled gratefully at her.
"I think so too."
He responded confidently.
After falling too many times, Lu Zhou almost forgot what self-confidence was like.
But now he has enough confidence in the future.
Nan Qiao smiled when he heard this.
"Then don't give up easily."
"By the way, do you have a girlfriend?"
The sudden turn to the topic made Lu Zhou stunned.
"Huh?"
Seeing that he seemed to have misunderstood something, Nan Qiao hurriedly added: "No, you shouldn't ask that, you should ask, have you ever been in love?" Have an ex-girlfriend? ”
Lu Zhou was still confused, why did she suddenly ask such a strange question?
He was thinking about whether he wanted to tell the other party the truth.
Nan Qiao finally realized that he was asking too presumptuously, the topic of love is a sensitive topic for artists, although Lu Zhou is only an artist who is not officially debuted...... But there are still the same concerns.
She couldn't help but laugh and pulled a card out of her purse.
"That's right, I'm here, I have a chance to record a love variety show, and the assistant director of the show has a good personal relationship with me, I thought...... If you are in need, I can push you over and repay you for saving me this time. ”
"The first season of this Lian Zong is very popular, and now I am preparing to shoot the second season, and it is still in the hot recruitment stage, I don't know if you have watched this show? The show is called "Swap? Predecessor. ”
Lu Zhou took the card handed over by Nan Qiao and glanced at it, on which was the contact information of the program team.
"I haven't seen it in its entirety, but I've heard of it and seen some small clips of the clip."
The first season of this variety show was indeed very popular, and it set off a wide range of heated discussions on the Internet.
The show is quite popular, but ...... As the name suggests, this show is called "Swap? Ex", as soon as you hear it, it is a variety show that will jump wildly on the emotional and moral line......
Ordinary people don't dare to be on this kind of show, let alone artists who are afraid of collapsing houses.
It's human nature......
It's just that...... Lu Zhou is now a paste coffee outside the eighteenth line who has no such person in the entertainment industry, who knows him? Why do you say that the house collapsed?
"I wonder if you'd like to participate?"
"Personally, I think you lack an exposure opportunity and plan to quit the entertainment industry, why not give it a go and try another way to stir up your personal popularity first?"
"This circle is very realistic, sometimes it is difficult to be seen without background and capital, but if you have fame first, the company will naturally see your business opportunities and will provide you with better resources."
Nan Qiao looked at him with a smile and showed him a way as a senior.
Lu Zhou sat on the hospital bed, listening to Nan Qiao's words, and squeezed the card in his hand tightly.
She's right, this circle is very realistic and cruel.
In this life, his background is too ordinary, and if he wants to get ahead in the entertainment industry, he is too conformist, and he will take many detours.
"Of course! The prerequisite for being able to participate in this show is that you have to have an ex-girlfriend. ”
"I wonder if you have one?"
Nan Qiao changed his words and threw out a premise.
Lu Zhou pursed his lips, a face appeared in his mind at this time, and after a while, he confessed: "There is one." ”
Nan Qiao raised his eyebrows and said curiously: "Is it in the circle?" ”
"It's not."
"Amateur?" Nan Qiao smiled, "It's good, the guests in the first season are all amateurs." You didn't just break up, did you? ”
"No, it's been a long time."
"That's better, there are fewer emotional entanglements, and it's reasonable to find a new partner on the show, whether it's for you or her, the pressure of public opinion will be much less."
Lu Zhou didn't answer immediately, he hesitated in his heart, and his face was embarrassed.
"Even if I wanted to, she probably wouldn't want to participate."
When Nan Qiao heard this, he didn't agree with his statement.
"Don't be so hasty to deny it first, it's hard to talk about personal wishes."
"You can sign up first, just provide your ex-girlfriend's contact information to the program team, and they will have someone contact her and evaluate her situation, such as whether she is single now, etc......."
"However, as long as you are not married, it is not a big problem to be single...... After all, some people will break up temporarily in order to be on the show. ”
Nan Qiao said and laughed.
"If your ex-girlfriend meets the conditions for being on the show, they will arrange someone to do ideological work for her, and persuade others to be on the show, the program team is very good, you don't have to worry too much about this."
Nan Qiao spread her hands, "Of course, if she really doesn't want to participate, there is no way, but I feel that you can try it first, and you won't die if you try." ”
Lu Zhou: "......"
It seems to make sense.
At this time, Nan Qiao's mobile phone rang, and the agent called to urge her to leave.
"I still have work to do, so I have to go first."
"What I just told you, think about it, although this love drama is controversial, its popularity is very high, and all the guests who participated in the first season are basically popular regardless of their reputation."
"The show made a lot of money in the first season, so they are now doing the second season, and the requirements for the guests have also increased a lot."
"Breakup couples whose identities are too ordinary and have few emotional topics to sign up for it are very difficult to pass the first trial, which can be described as one in ten thousand."
"So, you know, if you miss this opportunity, there won't necessarily be a next time."
"If you decide to participate, you first register with the program team yourself, and then come and tell me, I will help you say hello to the program team, I may not be able to help you with anything else, but you can still make sure you enter the final selection, and the rest depends on your own performance."
Nan Qiao got up and left.
Silence returned to the room.
All this came too suddenly, and Lu Zhou fell into the whirlpool of thinking.
Ex-Girlfriend ......
