"I've realized that I'll be getting poached a lot of times in the future as your agent."
As Liu Rulan rode the shuttle bus back to the resort, she suddenly had this thought.
Xiao He squinted contentedly, enjoying the cool breeze from the forest: "Don't worry, Sister Liu, I'm Ling Hui's boss. I'm going to make my fortune in the entertainment industry in the future!"
"That's right, that's right, don't worry, Sister Liu, I promise to keep an eye on Brother Xiao!"
Xiao Chen also gave his assurance.
"But you really didn't hide it from us while you were speeding, did you?"
There are quite a few male celebrities in the entertainment industry who have gotten into trouble for speeding, and Liu Rulan, as a senior agent, has subconsciously become more vigilant.
Xiao He explained palely, "...I really didn't, I just learn things quickly."
"Really not?"
"No, really."
"Pure talent?"
"Truly a talent."
"..."
Liu Rulan crossed her arms and remained silent.
Well, anyway, every time Xiao He displays some amazing skill, Liu Rulan always gets the explanation of "talent".
Liu Rulan had gone from disbelief to simply not believing it anymore.
Either is fine, just don't leave her with any mess.
"Ah, we've arrived."
The shuttle bus officially entered the resort.
The first impression upon entering the resort was its fragrance.
A very high-class floral fragrance was faintly permeating the air. Xiao He carefully sniffed, his poor brain unable to identify what kind of flower it was, but the fragrance was very impressive. It inexplicably gave people a feeling that it was very expensive just by smelling it. The luxurious fountain and the ornately decorated hotel lobby that came into view made Xiao He realize that the wealth here was on another level.
That makes sense, really. If you think about it, people who can afford to fly to this island on private jets for vacation must be really rich.
It's °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° possible that even getting to this private island requires a very high level of skill.
They really got lucky with the production crew this time.
Xiao He took a deep breath, savoring the lingering fragrance on his nose, and felt that he had been corrupted by the power of capital.
Xiao Chen took out her phone to take a selfie: "Brother Xiao, Sister Liu, come quick, let's check in."
Xiao He automatically raised his hand: "Yay—"
Liu Rulan left the two of them with only her back to them, and asked at the front desk, "Hello, has our artist's check-in been completed?"
"Okay, Ms. Liu, please wait a moment—"
When Liu Rulan returned after checking the hotel room, Xiao He and Xiao Chen had already moved to another location to take photos.
Liu Rulan sighed, feeling like she was taking a child on a trip: "I heard there's going to be a barbecue party on the beach tonight. Are we sure we want to waste our time here?"
"OK, OK, let's take a break and fight again tonight."
Xiao He and Xiao Chen immediately scattered like birds and beasts, returning to their rooms to pack their things.
...
The crew of "No Bait" began filming intensively on the island.
Meanwhile, Shu Han, who remained in Shanghai, successfully signed a contract with He Wenming, and a batch of new employees began to join Linghui Studio.
The once somewhat deserted studio has gradually expanded its office seating and overall interior space.
He Wenming is a bespectacled man who speaks very politely. Although he doesn't look very tall, he is very efficient in handling things. As soon as the merger of the studios was finalized and Shu Han was signed as his artist, he immediately began to promote Shu Han.
Since Shu Han returned before the Spring Festival, there has been relatively little news about his return to China online. Even if someone saw him in his hometown, no one thought much of it and assumed that Shu Han had returned to China to spend the Spring Festival with his elders.
Now that He Wenming has taken over the reins of online public opinion, news about Shu Han has begun to appear more frequently without anyone noticing.
The most obvious example is that some bloggers have started editing up Shu Han's past works and spreading some of his past deeds.
This behavior might not be obvious to netizens who frequently browse various platforms, but it is very clear to well-informed insiders—Shu Han has returned to China and is going back to the Chinese entertainment industry!
Suddenly, scripts of all kinds came flooding in like snowflakes.
However, He Wenming did not immediately help Shu Han take over the latest scripts. Instead, he took Shu Han to visit several famous directors who had been living in Shanghai for a long time.
So when Linghui Studio and Shu Han's official accounts officially announced Shu Han's return to China, they also brought news that Shu Han would be joining a film crew soon.
The script was written by a renowned director whom Shu Han had worked with before. The director had also directed kung fu movies in his early years, but due to a lack of promising young martial arts actors in recent years, he gradually gave up on the idea.
Now that he heard that Shu Han was back, he couldn't sit still any longer.
When the two sides met again, they hit it off immediately and finalized Shu Han's next film script.
This script is mainly a kung fu film set in the Republican era, focusing on the inheritance of martial arts in turbulent times and the feelings of family and country under national crisis.
Upon receiving this news, the fans were incredibly excited.
【After Shu Han, there haven't been any more kung fu blockbusters, but now you're finally back! Looking forward to your new work!】
【Great! Finally, some real kung fu! The last time I saw such amazing fight scenes was in "The Thieves".】
【Those who understood are already crying. Is there no hope left for *The Thieves 2*?】
【Am I the only one who noticed that Shu Han signed with Xiao He's studio? This is a powerful combination! I'm so excited! Is there a possibility that they will collaborate in the future?】
【Wow, and the agent is He Wenming! How did he manage to poach him from He Jinnian? That's amazing!】
【Huh? What about He Jinnian? Wouldn't this be considered malicious poaching?】
【Ahem, look carefully, Teacher He has already explained that he asked He Wenming to mentor Shu Han because of a change in work plans. There was no malicious poaching involved. In fact, Teacher He Jinnian just publicly welcomed Shu Han's return.】
【Uh, so could He Jinnian have been set up by investors? That's terrible. She already had almost no gigs this year, and now her manager has been poached...】
【What's that stuck between your shoulders? Don't squeeze me, don't be oblivious to what I'm saying.】
...
Shu Han's return has sparked a great deal of discussion.
However, at this time, most people, whether fans or other artists in the industry, are expressing their expectations and welcome. After all, Shu Han had a very good reputation in China in his early years and was very popular. Given the current situation abroad, it is quite normal for him to choose to return to the Chinese entertainment industry. As for his performance after his return, most people are still in a wait-and-see state.
Upon learning this news, Xiao He also used his own account to welcome Shu Han's return.
【Actor Xiao He: Welcome back, Teacher Shu!】
Shu Han responded to Xiao He quite quickly.
【Actor Shu Han: Thank you, Xiao He. Let's all work hard together! 【Handshake】】
