Huayu: Starting with binding the front desk

2015 10 Month 8 Day.

That famous "200 million" wedding scene in the Chinese entertainment industry.

Huang Xiaoming and Yang Ying held their wedding at the Shanghai Exhibition Center, a grand affair attended by half of the entertainment industry's stars.

Wang Zhe also came here with his father, Wang Yuejin.

The wedding red carpet ceremony alone took an hour and a half; it was almost as grand as a film festival red carpet.

Inside, Wang Zhe followed behind his father, while Wang Yuejin kept introducing him to the big shots in the industry, this one is an uncle, that one is an aunt.

Wang Zhe greeted everyone with a polite smile.

But I can only remember a few of them.

He knew perfectly well that his father had brought him here not to "attend a banquet," but mainly to make his face known. Whether they knew each other or not was another matter, but at least people would know that Wang Zhe was Wang Yuejin's son.

Just as Wang Zhe was standing aside, watching Wang Yuejin exchange pleasantries with a media executive whose name he didn't know, He Jiong, the "good guy" of the entertainment industry, walked over with his three little ones.

He Jiong first greeted Wang Yuejin, then looked at Wang Zhe and said with a smile, "Little Zhe has grown taller recently."

Wang Zhe bowed slightly: "Hello, Teacher He."

He's at the age where he's growing rapidly, and his height is increasing every day; he's already 183 cm tall.

However, Wang Zhe knew that this was not his limit, as evidenced by the growing pains he experienced at night.

In his previous life, he was all alone in Europe and didn't get enough nutrition during his growth period, yet he still grew to 185 cm. In this life, with Xu Ying doing all sorts of things to improve his health, he should be able to grow even taller.

He Jiong turned to look at the three boys behind him and smiled, "You and Xiao Zhe are all the same age, you should get along well."

After saying that, he stopped talking and started chatting with the adults around him.

As a reborn individual, Wang Zhe's mind was naturally different from that of a 16-year-old boy, and he instantly understood Teacher He's intention.

Not long ago, the two fan groups had a war of words online. Teacher He was worried that the fans would affect the relationship between the two idols, so he specially arranged for them to meet today.

He truly lives up to his reputation as a kind-hearted person in the Chinese entertainment industry, even taking care of such small details.

To be honest, Wang Zhe could tell the difference in this matter.

How fans argue is their business, but if the celebrity himself gets involved, the nature of the situation changes.

Moreover, fans' opinions are often one-sided. If someone were to change their career path based on fans' analysis, Wang Zhe would question whether they had actually received "nine years of compulsory education."

Wang Zhe looked at the three little ones in front of him, who were almost a head shorter than him, and sighed inwardly.

Judging by their appearance alone, who would believe that the four of them are the same age?

Although the three boys were all dressed in formal suits today, their mushroom haircuts made them look like kids wearing adults' clothes and pretending to be mature.

Wang Zhe, on the other hand, was also wearing a suit, but his neat short hair and already developed physique made him a complete knockout.

Moreover, Wang Zhe's looks are far superior to the other three kids; he has a more mature and sophisticated appearance.

The four of them stood there, and although they were all the same age, they looked more like the older brothers, leading their three younger brothers out to see the world.

However, Wang Zhe is indeed older than the other three.

  

Wang Zhe greeted the three of them one by one.

Wang Yuan and Wang Junkai, perhaps because they both share the surname Wang, hit it off particularly well with Wang Zhe and kept chatting.

In contrast, Yi Yangqianxi barely spoke after saying "hello" at the beginning.

Wang Zhe didn't care about this; he knew that this person was just like that, not putting on airs.

You expect someone who can livestream stacking stones to talk to you about something else?

Soon, the media noticed the commotion.

Not long ago, TF fans and Wang Zhe's fans were arguing, but now the two groups' idols are chatting happily at Huang Xiaoming's wedding, which is a ready-made hot topic.

It's worth noting that both sides are currently quite popular, especially the "three little ones".

The "Four Big and Four Small" might be just something Wang Zhe's fans entertained themselves with, but the "Four Big and Three Small" has gained recognition within the industry.

These seven people are currently recognized as top celebrities in the Chinese entertainment industry.

Wang Zhe is still quite a distance from being a top star, but this is also because he started developing his career relatively late.

Industry insiders generally believe that it's only a matter of time before Wang Zhe reaches the top.

The reporter, quick as a flash, raised his camera and snapped a group photo of the four of them.

……

Wang Zhe chatted with the three of them for a while, then Wang Yuejin came over and patted him on the shoulder: "Come on, Dad will take you to meet your Uncle Song."

Wang Zhechong and his two little brothers waved goodbye, then turned and left with their father.

Wang Yuejin led him to a stop in front of a middle-aged man, his tone less polite: "Call him Uncle Song. This is my childhood friend, the one I grew up with."

"Hello, Uncle Song," Wang Zhe greeted him respectfully.

Uncle Song looked him up and down, patted him on the shoulder, and praised, "Not bad, much more handsome than your dad was when he was young."

After saying that, he turned around and called out to the person behind him.

"Xiaomeng, why don't you and Xiaozhe sit over there for a while? Young people should chat more."

The girl behind him walked over, pouted slightly in dissatisfaction, and corrected him, "My name is Wang Churan now, not Song Yameng."

Uncle Song's smile held a hint of helpless bitterness. He didn't respond to the question, but instead said gently to the two of them, "Xiao Zhe, why don't you and Chu Ran take your seats first?"

Wang Zhe nodded: "Okay, Uncle Song."

He turned to the girl and politely gestured, "Shall we go?"

Wang nodded, his attitude towards Wang Zhe much gentler than towards his father.

At this moment, Wang Zhe's heart was in turmoil, unlike his struggles in Germany.

He recognized the girl in front of him as Wang Churan, the leading actress of the post-95 generation, who was later known by netizens as "Sister White Porridge".

At the same time, a binding reminder popped up in my mind.

He truly hadn't expected that he and Wang Cheran would have such a relationship.

He had indeed met this Uncle Song in his previous life, but he had no idea that Wang Churan was his daughter.

Wang Zhe glanced at the system panel again without showing any emotion, and seeing Wang Churan's favorability rating caused another "ripple".

62, that's so tall?

You should know that his initial level of affection for Tian Xiwei started from zero.

Even though they played together when they were kids, they just didn't recognize each other back then.

But what about Wang Churan?

Wang Zhe was 100% certain that, whether in his past life or this one, he and she had no connection whatsoever.

Today is indeed the first time the two have met.

The two sat down at the assigned table.

Before Wang Zhe could figure out how to start the conversation, Wang Cheran turned around first, her eyes sparkling as she looked at him and asked directly, "Wang Zhe, your birthday is August 17th, right?"

Wang Zhe was taken aback: "How did you know?"

Wang blinked playfully, her long eyelashes fluttering twice: "Guess?"

Looking at the face that was already showing the potential of a leading lady in traditional Chinese opera, Wang Zhe's heart began to race uncontrollably.

Is this what it means to be smitten?

Xu Ying? Am I about to fall in love?

Wang Zhe had to admit that Wang Churan's face was truly beautiful from childhood to adulthood, with both her bone structure and skin looking great, unlike some female celebrities who look different every year, making people wonder if they've had a new face.

"Did Uncle Song tell you that?"

"No, that's not true."

Wang pursed his lips, giving off a "does this even need guessing" look.

"Isn't it written on your Baidu Baike page?"

Before Wang Zhe could reply, she continued, "I was born on January 21st, so I'm older than you. From today onwards, I'm your older sister."

Wang Zhe was at a loss for words.

This girl is way too outgoing.

But then I thought about the 62 favorability rating, and everything seemed to make sense.

Seeing his silence, Wang frowned slightly, her tone carrying a hint of tentative disappointment.

"What, you don't like it? Then forget it."

"no."

Wang Zhe shook his head. He admitted that he was genuinely tempted, but this was different from the system's method of increasing favorability...

"I'm just a little curious, how do you know so much about me?"

"Oh, that's easy!"

Wang smiled, revealing a row of neat white teeth, "Because I'm your fan."

Wang Zhe suddenly realized why the initial favorability rating was so high.

He quickly searched his memory of Wang Cheran from his previous life.

She did change her name; her original name was Song Yameng, and her father was from Shanghai.

The conversation between Uncle Song and her just now also confirmed this.

"You and Uncle Song... seem to have a bad relationship?" Wang Zhe cautiously probed.

Wang pursed his lips, his expression quite frank, without any intention of hiding anything.

"Yes, there's nothing wrong with talking about it. He and my mom are divorced, and I live with my mom in Zibo. I only started contacting him last year after I got into the High School Affiliated to the Shanghai Theatre Academy."

She spoke very calmly, as if she were telling someone else's story, but Wang Zhe could still hear the disappointment in her voice.

Although his parents had divorced in his previous life, they eventually reconciled, making his situation different from Wang Churan's.

He didn't know what to say; comforting seemed inadequate, and agreeing was inappropriate.

Wang Churan gave him no time to prepare his words. His earlier gloom vanished in an instant. He leaned forward slightly, staring intently at him, as if he had suddenly switched to another channel.

"Alright, little brother, let's not talk about him anymore. When are you releasing a new song? It's been so long since you've posted anything!"

Wang Zhe was both amused and exasperated; Wang Churan's nerves were just too thick.

One minute they're talking about their parents' divorce, the next they're all smiles, urging them to sing.

"I'm still in school, how could I have time to release songs?" he explained.

"You have time to film movies, but no time to record songs? You're kidding me." Wang Cheran rolled her eyes slightly, the movement barely noticeable.

But Wang Zhe still saw it.

So this signature eye roll that's been universally criticized online was a habit he developed all along!
