“He wants to do things independently? Which independent artiste can go far these days? He wants to do everything alone, and the company behind him agrees?”
“Forget it. You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink.” Zheng Mengwei felt that it was a pity. Luo Lin was pleasing to the eye and comfortable to look at. He had the potential to become famous.
However, there were many good-looking people in the entertainment industry. They might not become famous just because they had potential.
It was even more difficult to say for someone like Luo Lin who did not know what was good for him.
Zheng Mengwei pointed at the other names on the table. “Choose someone from here.”
“Zhang Zhewen?” Han Tian said. “Didn’t you reject him before?”
“He’s not that bad. At least he has experience in the industry. It’s better than a tough nut like Luo Lin, right?”
Luo Lin and Brother Liang walked out together.
Seeing that Brother Liang was a little listless, Luo Lin said, “Sorry, Brother Liang.”
“Sigh, there’s no need to talk about this. You’ve already said that if we want to work in this industry according to our wishes, we can’t sign with any big companies. Isn’t the current arrangement good? We’re relying on the company behind us, and the company doesn’t care about us at all. They only charge us a little management fee. In return, you have all the autonomy.”
Even so, Luo Lin knew that Brother Liang was not without regrets.
Now, there were many things to do every day. Before every drama was filmed, he would be anxious about what the next project would be and which project Luo Lin should audition for.
When there was no work, people would panic.
“I’ll try to act well and become famous as soon as possible,” Luo Lin said with a smile.
“Okay. If you become famous, you can just let me continue to follow you. Actually, it’s good for me that you don’t choose any of these companies. Once you sign them, they’ll definitely arrange for their own managers to work for you and kick me out.”
“If I become famous, I’ll definitely let you follow me. Who could I replace you with?”
The two of them thought about their lives after Luo Lin became famous and were suddenly in a good mood.
On Zhang Zhewen’s side, he received another call from Han Tian. He was very happy and immediately brought his manager over.
Zhang Zhewen had previously signed with a very large company and acted for more than ten years. He had acted in modern dramas, period dramas, fantasy, and sci-fi. Those works had made countless people famous. But apart from gaining some loyal fans, he was still unknown.
However, even an unknown person like him was not someone Luo Lin could compare to.
He had at least been on the trending searches. Many people knew his name, and he had worked with all kinds of celebrities.
However, at the mention of Zhang Zhewen’s name, many people could not match his face.
Zhang Zhewen was also disheartened because of this. He had just terminated his contract with his initial company and wanted to find another good company.
“Didn’t Miss Han reject us before?” Zhang Zhewen asked his manager. “Why did she reconsider?”
“I don’t understand either. However, maybe she’s already taken a fancy to us. Perhaps she just wanted to tease us and played a little trick,” the manager guessed.
“No matter what, we have to seize this opportunity. I heard that Han Tian and the partner behind her are very powerful in Jingdu City. They have a strong family background and spare no effort in raising people. I have to seize this opportunity. I’m already 32 years old.”
His words were a little bitter and low.
The manager could empathize with him. All these years, Zhang Zhewen had watched the people around him become famous over and over again. Meanwhile, he was still a C-list celebrity. He kept seeing the extravagance of the industry, but he could not integrate into that circle.
His life was much better than that of a D-list celebrity. At least he was rich. However, compared to A-list and B-list celebrities, the treatment they received and the things they enjoyed stimulated Zhang Zhewen’s nerves. It made him constantly suffer. He was exhausted, but he could not find a way out.
The manager said, “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely communicate with Miss Han later.”
When Luo Lin returned to the set, Xinyue had yet to leave.
She was in a corner, scrolling through her cell phone in boredom.
Feeling someone pat her head, she immediately jumped up.
Then, she saw Luo Lin’s eyes above the mask. He said in a comforting tone,
“Why are you here alone?”
“I wanted to come and see you, but I didn’t expect you to be out.”
“I had something to do.” Luo Lin smiled and said, “Come to my room with me.”
Brother Liang stood at the back. He wanted to say something but hesitated. However, when he looked at the people outside, he saw that they were all following Zhang Zhewen. Whether it was the fans or the reporters, their attention was all on Zhang Zhewen, so it was fine.
“Go, go. Hurry up. Don’t let anyone see you.”
Luo Lin’s room was a long-term rented room in a hotel. As his status was different from Zhang Zhewen’s, the hotel he stayed in was of much lower grade.
He pushed open the door, and Xinyue followed him in.
The room had been tidied up, and everything was placed in an orderly manner.
“Have a seat first. I’ll get you something to drink.”
Xinyue nodded. She remembered that when she went to the rooms of the male actors who were in the same production team as her, clothes and magazines were thrown everywhere. Luo Lin’s room was so clean that there was nothing to pick on.
Luo Lin came over with a low-sugar drink. “It’s low-sugar. Make do with it.”
“It’s okay. I have to maintain my figure too.” Xinyue picked it up and took a sip. “I heard that Zhang Zhewen often takes leave to go out. As soon as he comes back, you have to adjust your schedule and shoot the two-person scenes until dawn, right?”
“He terminated his contract with his previous company and is looking for the next one. He’s been going out a lot recently, ” Luo Lin said indifferently.
Xinyue only felt that he had a good mentality. He was a good person and was very respectful to his colleagues. However, she could not help but shake her head at that so-called colleague.
Seeing her unhappy face, Luo Lin asked, “How’s your filming going recently?”
“Very well. The team this time is more experienced than before. They were quick to bring me into character. Indeed, acting is something that comes with experience. I have to improve myself again and again.”
“It’s good to improve.”
He heard his phone ring. “Give me a minute. I have to take this.”
He picked it up, and Zhang Zhewen’s voice came from the other end. “Luo Lin, I saw a few of your fans just now.”
“What about it?”
“They actually asked me to bring you a few bouquets of flowers. How silly.”
Luo Lin frowned. “Don’t judge fans like that. I’ll ask Brother Liang to come and get the flowers later.”
“No, don’t bother. Those flowers were so ugly that they were an eyesore. I’ve already thrown them into the trash can. Also, the letters inside looked ugly to me. I threw them all away.”
Zhang Zhewen’s tone was a little casual.
Luo Lin, who had always been gentle, suddenly turned cold..
