Chapter 443: The Era of Traffic Stars
She had no feelings for Chenghe. Ever since she had left Chenghe, she had had no thoughts about this place. Because of Nangong Ying’s matter, she was unwilling to bring up the matter of Chenghe, let alone get involved with this company.
It was just that some things could not be avoided.
When she had learned that the driver who had caused the accident, Liu Chenghui, might be from Chenghe’s side, she could not be calm, could not deal with all this with a rational attitude.
And Yu Tianchen was not in a hurry, slowly savoring his tea, completely unmoved.
“Yu Tianchen, did you at Chenghe have anything to do with that incident? Answer me.”
“You’re joking. Although it’s a joke, to say such things in this kind of occasion, even I would be angry. Please be a little more careful.”
“Then you tell me, why did you have dealings with Liu Chenghui? Were you very familiar before?”
“Just some trivial work matters.”
Yu Tianchen said with a smile.
At this time, Yu Linna had no reason at all. She was also speaking according to her own mood, not at all like her usual self. When it came to matters involving her editor, Chen Xi, she was always unable to be calm.
“To put it bluntly, even if you want to slander us, do you have any evidence?”
“…”
This was a fact. Yu Linna did not have any evidence to prove that Chenghe was involved in this matter. Everything was based on her subjective judgment.
Yu Linna was completely silenced.
“Miss Yu, you are too irrational. Just pretend that nothing happened today. You can go back now.”
Yu Tianchen did not press the issue, and his words also made Yu Linna’s face burn.
After leaving the company’s main entrance, Yu Linna looked at the company’s sign. For a moment, she didn’t even know what to do. She hated Chenghe, and now she hated it very much. Especially after learning from Officer Ye that Chen Xi’s death might be related to Chenghe, she couldn’t have any love for Chenghe at all.
Chen Xi’s death, was it an accident, or was it related to another incident? Yu Linna was not concerned. She just felt that she had the right to know the truth of Chen Xi’s death.
Such a kind editor, she had no reason to leave just like that. If she were still alive and well, she could still spend the New Year at home with her family. But! Just because of an accident, everything about her was destroyed!
No matter what, she wanted to get an explanation for Chen Xi.
…
After staying in Shanghai for about a week, Yu Linna returned to Guangnan. This was the first time in her life that she had someone to accompany her for the New Year. In the past, she had always been alone for the New Year. Although in the end it was not so pleasant, in general, it was not too bad.
As for Ye Zhiyun, she would talk about it when she had calmed down.
After she had returned, she had gone to the editorial department. Because it was the New Year, there were not many people in the editorial department, only one or two, all of whom were working overtime like their lives depended on it. What surprised Yu Linna was that there was a Mi Aili in the editorial department. She had skipped her writing time and had run over to play.
“Mi Xi-sensei.”
“Senior! Happy New Year!”
“Happy New Year.”
To be called “senior” by this girl all the time, actually, Yu Linna was not very used to it. After all, Mi Aili’s real age was a few years older than her. To be called “senior” by her was quite strange.
Although in terms of seniority, she was indeed her senior.
“How was the New Year? Did you go to see a movie?”
“I did.”
“Mmm, I really like Black Wolf. I was just thinking of going for a second viewing. Do you want to go together?”
“If you don’t write your manuscript, your editor will kill you.”
“Ahem, a writer, you know, the inspiration won’t explode until the last moment. It’s the best to unleash a big move at the last second.”
What she said was a little strange. Could it be that she was also a hardcore gamer like Zhao Yuyan? Mmm, thinking about it carefully, it was quite possible.
In the end, she did not go to see a movie. Because Yu Linna was thinking of working hard and did not plan to consider other things.
“This is Wenqing. It’s not as big as Qidian.”
Suddenly, a thick male voice sounded from next door. Yu Linna raised her head a little.
Next door came a young man with a layer of rouge and foundation, long hair, and also eyeshadow, dressed in a rather trendy way.
He glanced at the two girls next door, looked at them carefully for two eyes, and out of a gentlemanly demeanor, he still decided to go up and say hello.
“Hey, you two beautiful girls. Hello.”
This young man was quite good-looking, with a thick layer of rouge and foundation, a Korean style, and his skin was also very well-maintained. He felt even more beautiful than a girl.
This person’s appearance, Yu Linna had seen on TV.
“Hello, Mr. Yu Muyan.”
“Eh, you know me?”
“I do. I often see you on TV.”
“Haha, that’s right.”
Hearing this little girl say so, this young man’s face was particularly bright, and his tail was up.
Yu Muyan was quite famous on TV and Weibo. He was a young fresh meat among the new generation of male stars in the entertainment industry. He was only 25 this year. He used to be an artist in Korea and had also studied there for a long time. Later, he had returned to his home country to develop, as a singer, and had gained a large number of fans with his looks. After that, he had also transformed into an actor, and with his super strong traffic, his works were still supported by many people.
To put it bluntly, he was just a young fresh meat. If the original Yu Linna had chosen to be an actress, she would probably be like these young fresh meat, relying on her own looks to gain fans and be a useless “vase.”
“By the way, what are your two names?”
Clearly, this young fresh meat still did not know Yu Linna’s and Mi Aili’s names. He also treated these two little girls as his fans. After all, among his fans, there were not a few little girls of this age.
The agent walked over, saw these two, and his face immediately changed. He quickly came over and put on a friendly smile.
“Shion-sensei, Mi Xi-sensei, hello.”
The agent’s attitude could be said to be very fawning. At a glance, you could tell he was trying to please them. Yu Linna did not like this kind of simpering behavior at all.
“Eh? You two are also writers from Wenqing?”
On the contrary, Yu Muyan was very surprised. He had thought that these two were someone’s children who had run to the editorial department to play. As a result, his agent had actually said that the two of them were authors?
“Of course! I am the famous Mi Xi-sensei of Wenqing, a great author of the future! You have to say something nice when you see me.”
“I really can’t tell. I thought you were someone’s child.”
“Hey, hey, hey, at least I’m the champion of the Wenqing New Talent Award. Is it okay for you to say that about me?”
Alright, putting aside Mi Aili’s current popularity for now, she was still a newcomer. Although she was crowned with the title of the champion of the Wenqing New Talent Award, she had not yet reached the threshold of a great god author. Compared to her senior, Shion-sensei, there was still a huge gap.
But for Yu Muyan not to know Shion-sensei was really not right. Anyone who was a young fresh meat should know that to be able to compete with them, the popular celebrities, for the hot search on Weibo, and to snatch even more traffic, there was undoubtedly only Shion-sensei. And Shion-sensei had also publicly revealed her own appearance, a cute little loli. Logically, they shouldn’t not know.
“Are you Shion-sensei? I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I didn’t recognize you.”
Yu Muyan was also very embarrassed. To have not recognized Shion-sensei was really bad luck.
Although Shion-sensei was just a novelist, and her identity was completely different from his, an actor, she was a celebrity after all. And the scripts and novels she had in her hands were of very high quality. If she were to develop in the direction of a scriptwriter in the future, they might still cooperate. Yu Muyan still had to consider this aspect of things.
“Great God Yu, you are a big celebrity. It’s not strange that you don’t know me. I’m not a big celebrity. By the way, what are you doing in our editorial department?”
“Just some work matters. The work of you Wenqing authors is going to be adapted into a TV series. I’m here to be the lead actor.”
The lead actor?
This young fresh meat?
Yu Linna suddenly began to worry.
Although Yu Muyan was said to be a young fresh meat, and also a super popular celebrity among the new generation, who had made a name for himself with his own fame, his appearance fee was very high. Whether it was a roadshow, promotion, concert, or salary, they were all terrifyingly high. It was said that his salary for filming a movie had reached ten million. Such a price was really very high.
The salaries of domestic stars were all calculated according to their own works, acting skills, seniority, and so on. The salaries of super A-list stars were generally over 30 million, with the highest reaching one hundred million. And the movies that were filmed with such a high price were usually high-investment.
And the young fresh meat, in just a few years, had gotten the salary of a super A-list star, reaching a height that many actors had not been able to reach in decades.
As for acting skills and such, in the eyes of the investors, it was not important. They could guarantee the box office and ratings.
“By the way, Shion-sensei, I hear you’ve been creating a script recently. Do you want to cooperate with me? If I’m the lead actor, at least we won’t lose money. What do you think?”
Yu Muyan was even promoting himself.
After all, Shion-sensei was now also known as a mascot-like existence in the industry. Putting aside her novels for now, just talking about scripts, the scripts she had written, not a single one had failed. The scripts she had written, after being filmed into a TV series, had all achieved good ratings, and even the Japanese liked to watch them.
She had already faintly had the feeling of a super scriptwriter.
“I hope there will be an opportunity in the future. For now, I haven’t written it yet.”
Yu Linna used her own way to refuse the other party.
For a young fresh meat’s acting to be filmed in a movie, she did not dare to flatter. Besides, as for this person, Yu Muyan, among the works he had starred in, although most of them had high ratings and box office, the general score was below 5, a completely failing score. His acting skills were also quite bad. Not being from a professional background, he had been in the entertainment industry for several years and was not willing to change himself. His acting skills had not improved either. For this person to star in her work, she was afraid it would ruin the reputation of her work.
“Alright then. Actually, I had also wanted to star in the movie adapted from Canwu-sensei’s novel before, but Canwu-sensei had verbally refused my participation. She was too stubborn. Shion-sensei, I believe you are not that kind of person.”
“I can’t possibly do that.”
If it were Yu Linna, she would not be so direct. But to refuse Yu Muyan’s participation was inevitable.
It was amazing that Luo Nan would say those words. I remember that when this incident happened, Weibo was in a huge uproar.
Yu Muyan chatted for a few more sentences, and then because of work, he went to see the author of the original work of the movie he was going to star in, to talk about work matters.
…
Yu Linna and Mi Aili left the editorial department. They didn’t want to stay here for long. And at this time, the entertainment industry was also slowly changing. The first to bear the brunt was Hu Qing, and also the recently very popular returned overseas Chinese, An Xiayue.
