HPDBC Chapter 378 Zhang Ruoyun's Situation
Chapter 378 Zhang Ruoyun's Situation
Bai Yu stood next to Zhu Yilong, her demeanor completely different from his.
Zhu Yilong possesses a gentle and refined demeanor, like a true gentleman.
Bai Yu, on the other hand, has a more rugged temperament.
Furthermore, although Bai Yu is two years younger than Zhu Yilong, she looks much older.
"Hello, Mr. Fu! I'm Bai Yu, a freshman majoring in acting at the Central Academy of Drama."
Bai Yu leaned slightly forward as she spoke, her pace was faster than Zhu Yilong's, and her tone was more enthusiastic.
"From the Central Academy of Drama."
Deng Chao and Chen Xiao are also graduates of the Central Academy of Drama.
Your direct senior.
"I know!
Brother Chao is my idol.
I've seen Chen Xiaoge's movies too; he acts really well.
Fu Yibai nodded.
Bai Yu possesses a natural sense of relaxation, an inherent casualness in her personality.
His gaze swept over the young faces in front of him. From Li Yitong to Bai Yu, the five of them stood in a row, each one a promising talent.
Lin Wei's judgment was indeed excellent; the quality of this batch of newcomers was higher than he had expected.
His gaze shifted to the far end of the line, where he spotted a familiar figure.
Gulnazar stood on the far right, wearing the same practice clothes as the others, with her hair tied in a low ponytail.
Her features were the most delicate and three-dimensional among the newcomers.
"Nazha".
Fu Yibai looked at her.
"How is your father's illness?"
Gulnazar took a step forward and pursed her lips.
"Still waiting for a heart transplant."
The experts at Peking Union Medical College Hospital said my father's condition is relatively stable.
But the hospital said it was hard to say when a suitable heart would be available; we could only wait.
Fu Yibai nodded.
"Focus on your studies. If you encounter any difficulties at home, please let Mr. Lin know. The company will do its best to help you resolve them."
At this point, Fu Yibai looked at the other five people.
"You too."
Once you enter Chenxi, you're all one family.
If there are any difficulties at home, you can speak up directly.
The company will do its best to help you resolve this.
The newcomers exchanged glances.
They had just signed with Chenxi and were still exploring the company's internal ecosystem, but the boss's words immediately gave them a sense of belonging.
"Mr. Fu, would you like to have a talk with them?" Lin Wei asked.
"No need. Let them continue their classes."
"Alright. Everyone, keep practicing, don't slack off."
Lin Wei gave a few instructions to the newcomers, and then followed Fu Yibai out of the training room.
The two walked down the corridor toward the elevator, the wooden floorboards making a soft creaking sound under their feet.
The walls on both sides of the corridor are covered with posters of Chenxi artists: Fan Binbin, Hu Jing, Deng Chao, Huang Bo...
Back in Lin Wei's office on the sixth floor, Fu Yibai sat down on the sofa and took a sip of the tea that Lin Wei's assistant had just brought in.
"Pay special attention to Li Yitong and Zhang Tianai among these newcomers."
Li Yitong's smile is infectious, making her suitable for sweet dramas.
Zhang Tianai has a cool temperament, which will broaden her acting range.
Jin Chen has a likable personality, so she could be pushed towards variety shows.
Both male trainees have a good foundation; we'll arrange for them to participate in suitable programs to further their training.
Lin Wei nodded.
"By the way, where is Zhang Ruoyun?"
How are the contract negotiations with Zhang Ruoyun going?
Lin Wei put down her pen, her expression becoming somewhat subtle.
"I was just about to tell you about this."
Zhang Ruoyun himself really wanted to sign with Chenxi. He clearly expressed this desire to me after the filming of the second season of "Divas Hit the Road".
"So where did the problem lie?"
"His father."
Lin Wei picked up her coffee and took a sip, her tone tinged with helplessness.
"Zhang Ruoyun's father established Xi'an Mengzhou Film and Television Company in January of this year."
Judging from Zhang Ruoyun's words, his father hoped that he would sign with their company after graduation, where resources and connections would be readily available, eliminating the need for him to start from scratch.
What is Zhang Ruoyun's own attitude?
"He doesn't want to."
Lin Wei put down her coffee cup and lowered her voice.
"Actually, Zhang Ruoyun had already mentioned this when I was discussing signing the contract."
He said he grew up in his father's shadow, and wherever he went, people would introduce him as "Zhang Jian's son".
He didn't want to live in his father's shadow for the rest of his life.
He wanted to start over at Dawn through his own efforts.
Lin Wei paused, then added.
"But Zhang Jian's attitude was very firm."
Last month I spoke with him twice on the phone, and he said that no matter what conditions Chenxi offered, he would not release her.
He said his son didn't need to work for anyone.
Fu Yibai leaned back on the sofa, his fingers tapping lightly on the armrest.
Zhang Ruoyun's performance in both seasons of "Divas Hit the Road" was remarkable.
Steady, meticulous, and polite, she doesn't try to steal the spotlight but has a strong presence; she's the kind of person you like more and more the more you look at her.
Moreover, this child is indeed principled; he could have relied on his father, but he chose to make his own way in the world.
"Don't worry about Zhang Jian."
Fu Yibai spoke.
"Zhang Ruoyun's own wishes are the most important."
He is an adult now and can make decisions about his future.
He's willing to come to Chenxi, so Chenxi will give him a stage.
Lin Wei nodded in agreement.
Fu Yibai did not say anything more about it.
Zhang Ruoyun wants to sign Chenxi, and Zhang Jian wants his son to work for his company; ultimately, it's a matter between father and son.
As an outsider, all he can do is offer a choice. Whether Zhang Ruoyun can persuade his father is his own task.
After leaving Lin Wei's office, Fu Yibai prepared to go out for a stroll.
Fu Yibai walked to the elevator entrance and pressed the down button. The elevator doors opened, and Chen Mo, who was also going upstairs, was standing inside.
"Mr. Fu."
"Um."
Fu Yibai entered the elevator.
"By the way, have Da Zhangwei and Xue Zhiqian signed yet?"
Da Zhangwei has already signed a contract.
Just last month.
"What about Xue Zhiqian?"
"Flying to Shanghai next week."
Chen Mo took out his phone from his pocket and glanced at the memo.
"His management contract is still with Shangteng Entertainment, so I'll go and sound him out first."
Based on current information, he was not very happy there. The company gave him very few resources, and he spent most of his time writing songs.
Terminating the contract shouldn't be too difficult.
The elevator arrived at the seventh floor, and Fu Yibai and Chen Mo stepped out together.
"Mr. Fu, I have an idea for a variety show."
"What variety show?"
"Please come with me."
Fu Yibai sat down on the sofa in Chen Mo's office. Chen Mo took a blue folder out of his desk drawer and handed it to Fu Yibai.
"Mr. Fu, please take a look at this."
Fu Yibai took it and opened it.
The folder contained a stack of printed papers with the logo of Chenxi Media printed on the header, and the title was "Idol Development Variety Show Proposal (Draft)".
He turned a few pages, his gaze slowly moving over the dense text.
