Seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune, I became a legend in the entertainment industry by avo

Pu Cunxin frowned as he looked at the stack of documents in Zhao Tongfu's hand.

This is the situation he least wanted to see.

Before the people were even properly trained, those people came just because they smelled the scent.

Feng Yuanzheng's face darkened as he looked at the stack of invitations.

He had seen Zhang Qilin practicing diligently every day, and he believed that as long as he laid a solid foundation, he would surely become the future hope of the Beijing People's Art Theatre.

But these invitations made him uneasy.

On one hand, he studied diligently and honed his acting skills, gradually working his way up from playing minor roles to the center of the stage.

On the other hand, simply nodding can bring a lot of money and honor.

How many young people can resist such temptation?

Feng Yuanzheng was anxious, fearing that Zhang Qilin would succumb to the temptation of this test.

He really didn't want such a promising talent to be ruined before he even grew up.

He looked at Zhao Tongfu, his tone somewhat heavy:

"Director Zhao, what kind of invitations are they?"

Zhao Tongfu casually flipped through it:

"There are all sorts of shows, mostly idol dramas, such as 'Palace' and 'Scarlet Heart'... The prices offered by the production companies are quite reasonable."

"Besides these idol dramas, there are also invitations to variety shows, including reality shows and talk shows, and the offers are equally tempting."

As Feng Yuanzheng listened, his expression grew increasingly grave.

For a stage actor, getting caught up in the vortex of commercial entertainment too early could easily lead to losing oneself and wasting time on honing one's craft in the performing arts.

At this moment, Yi Yangbo's voice rang out:

"Today I finalized the details with Ms. Lu from Weibo. She subtly expressed her hope that we could get Zhang Qilin on stage as soon as possible so that they could cooperate with the publicity and spread the influence of the theater performance."

Pu Cunxin asked in a low voice:

"Does that mean they'll only help us promote our shows if Zhang Qilin is in them?"

"That's one way to understand it," Yi Yangbo nodded.

"Leaving aside Weibo for now," Pu Cunxin pointed to the stack of documents, "what do you think we should do with all these scripts and variety show offers?"

Feng Yuanzheng pondered for a moment:

"Theatrical performance requires years of accumulated experience. Once you get caught up in these fast-food entertainment projects, it's hard to calm down and hone your acting skills and return to the stage. I don't agree with him accepting outside invitations."

Zhao Tongfu shook his head:

"But if we suppress it now, he might find out from elsewhere in the future and easily misunderstand, thinking that the theater is hindering his future."

Feng Yuanzheng sighed:

"Many of the best actors at the Beijing People's Art Theatre are honed through years of rehearsal and stage experience. Being impatient for quick success will ruin a person."

Yang Lixin, who had been silent until now, spoke up:

"My opinion is that we can invite him to come, but we must explain the pros and cons and the long-term implications to him."

"At the same time, we must also show sincerity and make plans. We can't just rely on children's awareness to resist temptation. We have to let them see that staying here also has a future."

"We won't stand in his way. We'll help him explain the cause and effect, the gains and losses, and let him choose his own path in the end."

Feng Yuanzheng nodded:

"Yes, we need to have a good talk with Zhang Qilin and make him understand the pros and cons. We can't let him ruin his promising future for short-term gains."

Zhao Tongfu asked:

"Then what can we use to persuade him? Just talking about his awareness is definitely not enough now."

The group looked at Pu Cunxin.

Pu Cunxin pondered for a moment, then looked at Yang Lixin:

"Will 'Rickshaw Boy' be performed at the Grand Theatre in early May?"

Yang Lixin nodded:

"Yes, after Gu Lao finished rehearsing 'The Grand Hotel Suite,' he would assemble the 'Rickshaw Boy' crew."

"Is Yu Zhen the lead actor?"

"It's in Yu Town."

"Find a role that has scenes with Yu Zhen and tell Zhang Qilin that if he wants to leave, the Beijing People's Art Theatre will not stop him, but if he chooses to stay, the theatre will do its best to train him. If he wants to go on stage, he will have to compete with other actors for the same role."

Yang Lixin thought for a moment:

"The character Xiao Shunzi in 'Rickshaw Boy' may not have a large role, but he has several key scenes with Xiangzi."

Pu Cunxin nodded and said:

"Who will talk to him?"

Although he was asking a question, his eyes were fixed on Feng Yuanzheng.

Feng Yuan confirmed Bai Pucun's meaning and nodded, saying:

"I'll go talk to him."

Pu Cunxin turned to look at Yi Yangbo:

"Once we have the results from Yuanzheng, and Zhang Qilin is willing to stay, we can contact Weibo. Zhang Qilin is competing for a role in 'Rickshaw Boy,' and they can send someone to follow and report on him."

Yi Yangbo's eyes lit up after hearing this.

Regardless of whether Zhang Qilin wins the role, as long as he follows up on the film on Weibo and generates publicity, it will bring more box office revenue to "Rickshaw Boy".

He nodded and said:

"I will contact Mr. Lu from Weibo as soon as possible."

……

Afternoon 1: 30

Zhang Qilin received a notification from Wang Lei, the deputy head teacher, asking him to go to teacher Feng Yuanzheng's office.

He knew it must be related to what had happened in the past two days. On the way there, his mind stirred slightly, and he cast a divination.

"Daily Fortune Telling: What does Teacher Feng Yuanzheng want with me?"

The divination sticks container didn't turn, and a message appeared before my eyes:

This has exceeded the scope of the "Daily Divination" prediction.

You need to unlock the higher-level "Asking for Directions" skill.

Alternatively, you can combine the four daily divination slips to exchange for a simple divination (once a month).

Zhang Qilin was taken aback.

He hadn't expected the conversation to be so complicated.

With a thought, he activated the divination sticks.

The compass shimmered with light, and the runes on the surface of the divination tube flickered.

A message appeared before Zhang Qilin's eyes:

[The worst possible divination: Hidden Dragon, Do Not Act (Successful avoidance reward: Pear Garden Mirror Heart Fragment +1, Fleeting Beauty Talisman +1)]

Upon seeing the contents of the divination slip, Zhang Qilin's face darkened.

It's just a conversation, how could it be such a bad omen?

He took out his phone and typed "潜龙勿用" into his browser.

The search results popped up quickly:

"Hidden dragon, do not act" is a phrase from the first line of the Qian hexagram in the Book of Changes.

The hexagram text reads: "Nine at the beginning: The hidden dragon should not be used."

The commentary on the hexagram "Xiang" explains: "Hidden dragon, do not act, for the yang is below."

It means that when a dragon is still lurking in the abyss or in a lowly position, its yang energy is hidden and the time is not yet right. It should keep a low profile, accumulate strength, and not take any action or act rashly.

If one tries to force their way out at this point, they will inevitably fail.

Zhang Qilin stared at those lines of explanation, reading them over and over again.

Countless thoughts flashed through my mind like lightning.

A moment later, Zhang Qilin was already standing in front of the office door.

He took a few deep breaths, composed himself, and then gently knocked on the door.

Feng Yuanzheng's voice came from inside.

He walked into the office and saw Feng Yuanzheng sitting at his desk with a serious expression.

Zhang Qilin had a smile on his face:

"Teacher Feng, is there something you need from me?"

Feng Yuanzheng pointed to the chair opposite him, gesturing for Zhang Qilin to sit down.

Zhang Qilin sat down, and Feng Yuanzheng turned the computer to face him.

The above are some photos of celebrities.

Huang Xiaoming, Lu Yi, Chen Kun, Tong Dawei...

Looking at these photos, Zhang Qilin didn't know what Teacher Feng Yuanzheng meant.

He asked with a puzzled look:

"Teacher, please show me these..."
