Shattering the talent show script, sweeping the world film scene

I've seen celebrities hate each other, and I've seen managers hate each other, but I've never seen a celebrity hate their manager so much. Gu Zhoubai, are you out of your mind? Offending your own business partner like this!

[Hahaha, this is hilarious! Beating someone into the hospital and then calling it a minor conflict? Only the grudge of having one's wife stolen back then can compare to this!]

[Everyone, go check these two's Weibo accounts! They're still saying they'll be attending a brand gala. Dude, aren't you going to take a break from your injury?]

[Holy crap, it's a Tia watch!! That's a watch used by the French royal family! Even if they were crippled, they'd crawl over there!]

"This year's brand gala is for Tia watches. You're already an ambassador for four luxury brands, which is a bit too few. We'll attend this gala and see if we can get one."

Ling Wushuang didn't reveal this itinerary based on what netizens said; it was something he had planned long ago. He also said:

"After joining Huanyu, apart from appearing once in 'Grimm's Fairy Tales,' I don't think I've shown my face in front of everyone yet. I need to borrow President Jiang's influence to show off my power."

Jiangxi Heng glanced at the Tia brand; it was top-tier, the fighter jet among watches.

If Karen Jewelry was previously the world's third-ranked jewelry brand, then Tia Watches is the world's number one watch brand.

The announcement of the "global endorsement" has caused a stir in the entertainment industries of various countries.

The selection process for this endorsement deal wasn't quick. Several artists with high profile, great potential, and strong suitability were chosen from each country, followed by a one-year evaluation period. Those who passed the evaluation would compete for the top spot based on their commercial value. In total, the process was guaranteed for at least a year.

"So, what are your plans from September 27th to September 28th?" Ling Wushuang asked.

Jiangxi Heng calmly replied, "I'm filming 'Breaking Illusions' this year, and I'll be doing a variety show for promotion before the new year. I estimate they'll invite me to the New Year's Eve show this year."

Ling Wushuang nodded: "Most likely. How's your singing practice going?"

Jiangxi Heng thought for a moment and changed the intermediate singing technique.

"Can handle big events."

From beginner to intermediate level is equivalent to going from a third-tier singer to a second-tier singer.

Ling Wushuang nodded and asked, "If you win an award at the film festival in November, the pressure on you when filming 'Breaking Illusions' will be less."

Jiangxi Heng glanced at Ling Wushuang: "What pressure do I have?"

Ling Wushuang pushed up her glasses and scoffed, "You must be quite dissatisfied that 'The Orphanage' didn't win an award at this year's Silver Camellia Awards, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have chosen a box office hit like a popcorn movie and instead planned to use 'Breaking Illusion' to try and win the Silver Camellia Awards next year, would you?"

Jiangxi Heng remained silent. He was somewhat unwilling, but not to the point of becoming a demon.

However, this film was the result of Nie Mingzhu's hard work over three months, during which he endured countless beatings and injuries. It was also his transition to film, and out of the original owner's childhood wish that "we will collaborate on a film in the future," Jiangxi Heng always wanted to make this film even better.

Nie Mingzhu is now filming a new movie and seems unaffected by the "failure".

He also knew that Jiangxi Heng had advanced 300 million yuan, and he was only thinking about paying off the debt as soon as possible.

Jiangxi Heng smiled and said, "Compared to that, I'm more worried about the famous scene of 'Breaking Illusions' and 'Qin Xiaodong's Troubles' being released at the same time during next year's Spring Festival holiday."

Ling Wushuang imagined for a moment, reading aloud a headline a marketing account might use: "Of the two films shot separately after the collaboration between the two stars, which one is better?"

Jiangxi Heng clapped his hands and laughed, "That's it!"

……

Before we knew it, the Tia brand gala, held in early October, arrived amidst much anticipation.

The brand owner is a foreign woman with blonde hair and blue eyes, who is chic and capable.

Someone called out to her, "Elisa, it's been a long time!"

Elisa turned around, smiled, and went to hug her: "Hey, it's you! You still look so beautiful!"

Ignoring the envious glances around her, He Weiran smiled and couldn't hide her surprise as she slightly bent her knees to welcome Elisa's embrace, looking like a little bird nestled against her.

As a member of the post-85 generation, she is no longer considered young, but she relies on beauty technology to try her best to maintain a youthful appearance.

"Elisa, it's a pleasure to have you in China. When we parted in France last time, I said that when you came to China, I would definitely give you a gift with Chinese characteristics. Look, I brought it with me." He Weiran took out a gift box that was no bigger than the palm of his hand from his assistant behind him: "This is a Suzhou embroidery brooch, which is very suitable for your suit today."

Elisa couldn't help but laugh and said, "As a friend, I feel like I can't refuse. It's so beautiful. Is this a unique craft of your China?"

He Weiran smiled and nodded: "Yes, just like all the mechanical watches in the world originate from your Tia. Oh, I wonder what kind of spokesperson you're looking for this time in China?"

In short, they just wanted to find out the exam questions in advance.

Elisa shook her head apologetically: "Well, I regret to inform you that we will likely be looking for a male spokesperson."

He Weiran's smile froze almost imperceptibly.

She nodded, suppressing her frustration, "Then it seems I don't have a chance. I'll enjoy the banquet tonight."

Elisa smiled and said, "Yes, I had a great time tonight."

A group of people escorted Elisa away to other places.

He Weiran stood still, slowly clenching her handbag, took a glass of wine from the waiter's tray, and drank it all in one gulp.

He arrogantly raised his chin, looking around at the aspiring entertainers who were eager to see him make a fool of himself.

What are you looking at? Even if I get rejected, I'm still better than a bunch of cowardly quails who don't dare to make a move.

The banquet provided open lounges for the artists to "get drunk" or "avoid certain people." After drinking a glass of wine, He Weiran felt a headache and asked her assistant to take her to the lounge.

She was in such a hurry that she opened a random rest room. The rest room had an inner bed and an outer sofa, and there was a closed frosted glass door between the bed and sofa.

As soon as He Weiran entered the door, he began to curse:

"Why? Which male celebrity in the Chinese entertainment industry deserves to be the global ambassador for TIA? Who can stay popular for twenty years like me? Just because they're men, they can become A-list celebrities overnight with just one film, and their salaries for two films can exceed my years of hard work. They even irresponsibly shift the blame for after-sales marketing onto me!"

He Weiran slammed the bag in her hand onto the sofa.

The assistant was terrified. She rushed to the door to check that no one was there, and after locking the door, she comforted her, "Sister He, have some water and calm down. It's not decided yet, is it? There are so many male celebrities abroad, Tia might really not be interested in any of our domestic celebrities."

He Weiran got angry again.

"Foreign male celebrities? Why give it to foreign male celebrities! We have so many people in our country, how come we don't have a single one that can compare to those foreigners?"
