Chen Hongliang seemed to have already seen a bleak future ahead of him. He could have received many more high-quality scripts, but he gave up big-budget films because of this requirement. It was heartbreaking to think about.
Most importantly, did they have to leave so decisively? At least show some concern! He hadn’t finished explaining things yet. These things weren’t unnecessarily non-negotiable. Come back!
With tears in his eyes, Chen Hongliang ran out and pulled the “heartless, shameless, and unreasonable” couple back.
“We can discuss the rest later. At least you guys should go for the audition first. If they’re satisfied, you can negotiate the terms, right?” Chen Hongliang said hurriedly.
In any case, they could go to the audition first. It would be such a waste to give up such a rare opportunity. And if he was actually selected, he wouldn’t care anymore. Let the director worry about it then.
Having two capricious bosses and artists who were both lovable and infuriating, if he tried to manage everything, he’d definitely have a heart attack from stress. So sometimes he needed to learn to destress and shift his focus.
“Okay, when is the audition?” Luo Lingxing asked. Actually, he didn’t really intend to turn it down. After all, Han Junzhan said it was good, so the director must be really good.
Moreover, Han Junzhan was just putting on an act. If they really left, how could Chen Hongliang possibly catch up with them at their speed?
Of course, Chen Hongliang was unaware of all this. Even if he were aware, he would probably pretend not to know, otherwise he would only be making things more difficult for himself.
“Next Monday, I’ll have Brother Guan take you there,” Chen Hongliang said, still feeling a little uneasy.
“No need, I’ll take Luoluo there,” Han Junzhan said.
“Then I’ll have Brother Guan meet you there,” Chen Hongliang said.
“Xiao Ming alone is enough,” Han Junzhan added.
“Let Brother Guan focus on taking care of Yi Chenhao. Junzhan and I will go together,” Luo Lingxing said to Chen Hongliang.
Chen Hongliang thought about it and agreed. Although Xiao Ming was Han Junzhan’s agent, because Luo Lingxing and Han Junzhan were a married couple, he would sometimes take care of some things for Luo Lingxing, which made Guan Anhua feel very free at times.
If Luo Lingxing were also handed over to Xiao Ming. Although it would be one person taking care of two people, the two of them wouldn’t have much work, and they would be together most of the time, so they wouldn’t be too busy.
Moreover, since filming ‘The Male God Pursues Love’ and ‘Challenge All In’, Yi Chenhao’s popularity has increased significantly, and he had received numerous offers. Companies and directors who previously did not have high hopes for him due to system incompatibility had also extended olive branches.
Yi Chenhao was currently in the rising phase of his career. If Guan Anhua could focus on guiding Yi Chenhao, it would be very beneficial to Yi Chenhao’s development.
“Okay, let’s arrange it like this for now. We’ll talk about the rest after the auditions,” Chen Hongliang finally said, letting out a deep sigh.
When others heard about director Li Moru’s dramas, they were eager to have their agents or companies help them get a role, and they tried every means to get a part in one. But now, he had personally delivered the roles of the male lead and the second male lead to them, and not only did the two not care, but they also wanted to bargain. In the end, he had to coax them to reluctantly agree to audition.
They were all human, so why were they so different?
“Okay.” Luo Lingxing nodded.
After they finished discussing the audition, Chen Hongliang noticed that they didn’t mention the company’s current situation at all, nor did they seem inclined to inquire about it. He didn’t know whether to be happy or sad.
Managers in other companies were most afraid of being frequently questioned about company matters or having their decisions interfered with by board members, so they tried to find ways to deal with these people. However, in his company, he waited for the two bosses to ask questions, but they showed no intention of asking at all. This kind of trust sometimes really put him under great pressure.
However, even if the boss trusted them and didn’t ask questions, Chen Hongliang still had to report on many things regularly. Since both of them happened to be at the company this time, he told Han Junzhan and Luo Lingxing about the company’s recent arrangements and plans.
In addition to vigorously cultivating Yi Chenhao, the company had also recruited some talented young artists who lacked a star system. They planned to provide excellent resources to those who were willing to work hard and cultivate them. It was believed that once everyone saw the facts, their perception of the system would gradually change.
Actually, Luo Lingxing didn’t initially intend to change everyone’s traditional thinking. After all, every idea had its own meaning. However, after making those remarks last time, he had to take responsibility for his words. Of course, it was also to give hope to those who didn’t have the corresponding system but were still working hard. In any case, for Luo Lingxing, the system was really not necessary. Even without the system, he believed that many people could achieve their current goals and realize their dreams as long as they were willing to work hard.
In addition, Su Yang had also received good resources. He was one of the first artists signed by Jun Ling. Although he did not have the same talent and charisma as Yi Chenhao, he was hardworking and diligent, so his popularity was not low.
The rest were mostly new artists, and it would definitely take some time to develop. However, there were a few who were very talented, and given the opportunity, they would surely become famous soon. But it would take a long time for them to become pillars of Jun Ling.
Xia Yuan’s career in the music industry had been relatively smooth. After all, with Karry as a powerful asset, his starting point was higher than that of ordinary newcomers. Coupled with his own excellent qualities, he was now making steady progress and was only one step away from becoming a pop star.
“Once Xia Yuan has established himself in the music industry and become a music king, if he is willing, we will then let him switch to film and television, and develop him into a triple-threat artist in film, television and music,” Chen Hongliang said, explaining the company’s future plans.
“Okay, you can handle these as you see fit,” Luo Lingxing nodded in response, though he wasn’t really good at management.
Chen Hongliang didn’t intend to let Luo Lingxing give any opinions. He mainly wanted to tell Luo Lingxing and Han Junzhan, and then Han Junzhan could get his opinion. After all, Han Junzhan was also one of Jun Ling’s bosses.
By the time Han Junzhan and Luo Lingxing came out of the company, it was already afternoon.
“Let’s eat out today,” Han Junzhan asked Luo Lingxing. It seemed they had never eaten out together before, or more accurately, they had never enjoyed a date together.
Before getting married, the two were busy with their own careers. After getting married, apart from their honeymoon on Planet Seyfert, they spent most of their time working. They were also worried about being recognized by fans, so they rarely went out. But today, for some reason, after leaving the company, he didn’t want to go home or go to the military. He just wanted to go shopping and have dinner with Luo Lingxing like an ordinary couple.
Unfortunately, their identities meant they couldn’t enjoy the pleasures of a normal couple. Even with disguises, they were easily recognized outside. However, they should still be able to have a meal together.
“Okay,” Luo Lingxing nodded in agreement.
Han Junzhan took the car keys from He Yi and said, “You can go home first today.”
“Yes,” He Yi replied. Without a car, he could only leave by taking a public hover car.
“Where are we going?” Luo Lingxing asked. He certainly didn’t know as much about the Emperor Star as Han Junzhan did.
In fact, Luo Lingxing overestimated Han Junzhan. With his aloof personality, it would be strange if he were to go shopping normally. He probably knew even less about Han Junzhan than Luo Lingxing did.
However, Han Junzhan cleverly sought advice directly from outside help.
“Just follow me.” Han Junzhan appeared confident, manually controlling the hover car while privately asking Xiao Ming where the best restaurants were.
Xiao Ming was very helpful and quickly provided several suitable locations. Han Junzhan searched on the navigation and found one that was relatively close, then set the autopilot mode.
“Luoluo, you absolutely can’t take on any roles that involve intimate scenes with the female lead in the future, or I’ll get jealous. None of the roles I’ve taken on before had any intimate scenes with the female lead.” Taking advantage of this time, Han Junzhan began to explain to Luo Lingxing the dangers of having intimate scenes with the female lead. He spoke with such conviction that after hearing it so many times, it seemed as if it were really true. If a more naive person were here, like Su Yang, they might actually be fooled by Han Junzhan.
However, although Luo Lingxing was not intimidated by Han Junzhan, he had no intention of accepting any roles that involved intimate scenes with other girls or male gods. After all, he already had a Daoist partner, and he naturally cared more about his partner’s feelings than others’. If Han Junzhan didn’t like it, he certainly wouldn’t do it.
In the dramas he filmed before, he worked with Ye Luohan. Although Ye Luohan was the male lead in most of them, and there was also a female lead, for some reason, the plot always ended up with the male lead and the second male lead together. As a result, Ye Luohan’s scenes with the female lead were even less than those with the second male lead, and the level of intimacy was not as high as that between the male lead and the second male lead.
Luo Lingxing tried to think about it. If the plot hadn’t changed, and Ye Luohan had made intimate moves with the female lead, even just a hug, he would probably be unhappy. Putting himself in her shoes, he naturally wouldn’t do something that would make him unhappy and then make others unhappy too. <Google Translate v2>
Of course, this was all hypothetical. In reality, neither of them had ever been intimate with the female lead, nor did they believe that they needed to be intimate with the female lead to make a good film. In this respect, the two were even more in sync.
The hover car quickly arrived at the entrance of a rather exquisitely decorated shop. Han Junzhan and Luo Lingxing were fully disguised inside the car. First, they used incredibly effective interstellar cosmetics to create makeup that made them unrecognizable to others. Then, they put on masks and sunglasses, almost completely covering their faces, making it very unlikely that they would be recognized.
“Welcome, how many are in your party?” the waiter asked respectfully from the doorway, indicating that the restaurant’s service was quite good. <Google Translate v2>
“Two.” Han Junzhan deliberately lowered his voice, making it sound even deeper and more pleasant.
“Would you like to stay downstairs or in a private room?” the waiter continued.
Han Junzhan glanced at the booths on the first floor. Almost all of them were couples, and their intimacy was palpable, creating a wonderful atmosphere.
“Let’s go downstairs then,” Han Junzhan said after thinking for a moment.
Logically speaking, given their status, they should have been in a private room, as it would have been safer. However, they had always eaten in private rooms before, and with only the two of them in the room, it felt a bit lonely.
The first floor had a better atmosphere, and the people there were wearing makeup that was different from what they usually wear. Unless you know them very well, you wouldn’t recognize them. Plus, most of the people there were couples, so he could secretly learn some tips from them.
Actually, the last point was probably Han Junzhan’s real purpose for staying downstairs, but of course, the reserved major general would never admit it.
“Okay, this way please.” The waiter led the two to a booth by the window in the corner, which was exactly what Han Junzhan wanted.
Here, you could clearly see other people’s interactions, but others rarely looked this way.
