Feng Shui Secrets of the Entertainment Industry

"Our East Coast Commander prefers men to women!"

"Boss Wang said with a smile."

"Director Dong has this hobby?" I was a little surprised.

"Our East Coast Director, perhaps he got some inspiration while studying in America, which opened the door to a new world for him. Ever since then, he's started to like men!" Boss Wang said with a hint of sarcasm.

"Bro, why are you staring at me like that? I only date guys for fun!"

Little Wang probably drank a bit too much and got a little tipsy, and he was somewhat unhappy with the way his older brother was looking at him.

"If you want to play something, play something normal. Don't do anything ridiculous!" Boss Wang snorted, then pointed at Qian Xiaogang and said, "Gangzi, you too, stop messing around with Leizi!"

"Jun'er, we're not like Director Dong, just playing around and having some fun!" Qian Xiaogang chuckled, not taking it seriously at all.

They didn't take it seriously, but I frowned.

It's no secret that some bosses in the industry prefer men.

It can't be said that they like men. Some bosses have seen and played with too many beautiful women, and they get tired of it and like to have some excitement.

Just like when I first met President Yang, he and Li Laohu made those models fight without restrictions.

The usual games no longer excite them.

That's why Mr. Yang has recently become obsessed with mountain climbing and wild fishing.

For bosses like them who control enormous resources, deciding what to do is just a matter of a word.

Therefore, I am not surprised by what happened between Mr. Wang and Qian Xiaogang.

Like me, Fatty Lin was not surprised.

What surprised me was the matter concerning the East Coast Guard.

Unlike another bigwig in the Beijing entertainment circle, Mr. Yan, everyone knows that any male actor who becomes famous through Mr. Yan's films is bound to have something happen between him and the actor.

In every film that Director Dong has made in recent years, his wife has been by his side.

Adding to the controversy a few years ago involving the director's wife and his ex-girlfriend who was a host, who would have thought that the director's hobbies were so niche?

We drank and chatted until the early hours of the morning before finally parting ways.

The next afternoon, the three of us went to the audition venue.

This draft is nearing its end.

At the scene, we met Zhang Dahuzi and Director Dong.

Director Dong looked somewhat haggard. He had been facing a lot of criticism these days because of the movie that was released at the end of last year, especially because a netizen created a bloody incident caused by a pot-shaped pancake based on a second edit of his movie.

I watched that short film too, and it cracked me up.

The director's attitude towards the three of us was somewhat cold.

I had heard of Director Dong before. How should I put it? He's a bit arrogant, but he doesn't have the talent to match. He's lived off that award-winning film from his early years.

Compared to Dong Dao's indifference, Zhang Da Huzi was very enthusiastic towards us.

After chatting for a while, I figured out why he was so enthusiastic towards the three of us: he wanted to buy tonics from me.

"Look, that's our group's champion. I'm currently more into the girl-next-door type!"

While I was having a pleasant chat with Zhang Dahuzi, Qian Xiaogang nudged me and gestured towards the stage with his lip.

"Zhang Xiaodao!"

I looked up and murmured her name.

Indeed, as Qian Xiaogang said, Zhang Xiaodao is not the bright and beautiful type.

"Huh!"

Compared to my calm demeanor, Fatty Lin let out a soft "hmm".

"know?"

"Qian Xiaogang asked."

"I don't recognize him, but he looks a bit like someone I know!"

Fatty Lin chuckled.

"Xiao Lin, after we're done, could you check me out and give me some treatment? If there's anything wrong, correct it; if not, keep up the good work!" Qian Xiaogang gave him a knowing smile.

"Xiao Lin, you should also give the one I chose a good treatment!" Zhang Da Huzi, understanding the implication, chimed in.

"no problem!"

Fatty Lin readily agreed.

I didn't say anything, I just licked my lips.

Before his tongue could retract, a sharp pain shot through his lower back.

"What, are you envious again?"

Soon, Long Nier's voice rang in my ears.

"No!"

I immediately denied it.

"I'll just have to bear with it!" Long Nier snorted, turned sharply, and let go of her hand.

I sighed inwardly. What else could I do but feel sorry for him?

Recording was completed at 9 PM.

Director Dong left on his own, while Qian Xiaogang and Zhang Dahuzi said they had made reservations at the restaurant and insisted on going for a drink.

As expected, they both brought their respective chosen champions.

As usual, after dinner, Long Nier and I left, while Fatty Lin took the two champions to get some treatment.

The next morning, Fatty Lin returned.

"How was it? Our Chief Lin must have been working hard last night, right?"

Looking at Fatty Lin's dark circles, I teased him on purpose.

"You lunatic, what do you mean? Are you envious?" Fatty Lin shouted, as if afraid Long Nier wouldn't hear him.

"roll!"

I subconsciously touched my lower back. My old back was covered in bruises from Long Ni'er pinching me; there wasn't a single good spot left.

"Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. I have something to tell you!" Fatty Lin said, rubbing his face.

"What is it?" I asked.

"I've seen through this talent show. It's just a smokescreen. The real purpose is to give some big shots' mistresses a little something, and to fill the harems of certain people!" Fatty Lin said.

After saying that, he suddenly laughed, for some reason.

"What are you laughing at?" I was a little confused by his laughter.

"I know Zhang Xiaodao, the director who just directed the audition!" Fatty Lin said.

"I know!"

I nodded and said, "Yesterday, the moment you bent over, I knew you two knew each other. How did you know each other?"

"Where do you think I could meet him?" Fatty Lin didn't answer, but instead asked a question in return.

"You requested her!"

I realized it immediately.

"right!"

Fatty Lin pulled out a cigarette and said, "A mere waiter is actually participating in a talent show? This world is truly interesting!"

After saying that, he exhaled a smoke ring and said, "Crazy, you know what, with the halo of a talent show, Xiao Dao has a unique charm!"

"Fatty, don't corrupt my brother! If you keep talking to him about these things, I'll get angry!"

Just then, Long Nier came up.

"Don't worry, Nier, I promise I won't say it again!" Fatty Lin immediately swore.

Long Ni'er glared at Fatty Lin and said to me, "Brother, there's a patient downstairs who needs acupuncture. Go and give him the needles!"

"Okay, I'm going right now!"

Without saying a word, I immediately went downstairs.

That concludes the matter.

A few days later, the results of the draft were announced, and unsurprisingly, the champions were those three.

Mr. Feng didn't say anything about the result and quickly transferred the money.

He invited us two brothers to his place in order to win us over and leave himself a way out.

The two bosses, Mr. Wang and Mr. Feng, had similar goals: they were afraid that we two brothers would ruin their plans.

They knew very well that with Master Hua as their backer, the two of us brothers might not be able to accomplish anything, but it would be too easy for us to sabotage their plans.
