Netizens are having a blast making fun of the memes online.
In reality, Xiao He was talking to Liu Rulan about their alma mater's graduation ceremony.
At this moment, Liu Rulan has been away on a business trip for more than a month and is still in Beijing. However, she has been personally handling many of Xiao He's work invitations without any slackening.
So when Xiao He asked Liu Rulan about her alma mater's Hall of Fame, Liu Rulan quickly responded: "That's true. They even sent you a form to fill out so they could include it in the Hall of Fame introduction..."
This task naturally didn't require Xiao He to handle personally. After Linghui Entertainment coordinated with the school, they filled out the forms and returned them, and Shanghai University didn't make any further moves.
This was done at the beginning of the year. At that time, there was a lot of work and things to do, and since the school didn't give any feedback, they didn't pay attention to it. As a result, Xiao He has now been quietly listed.
But when you think about it, there's really not much to say.
After all, being in the Hall of Fame is just an honorary title; it's not really useful.
In addition to these titles, the company's team was also responsible for helping Xiao He "participate" in many other awards, both public welfare and commercial in nature. In the end, these awards were basically just for obtaining titles and honors, without any particularly substantial effect, at most used to embellish the celebrity's resume.
This is a routine matter for the companies or studios behind celebrities. They usually fill out reports on these matters every year, making their artists' year-end summary reports very comprehensive. In many cases, the quality of these year-end reports can even be directly linked to the year-end bonuses of the team members.
Since Xiao He's "Law of the Jungle" gained some fame abroad, his team is now responsible not only for keeping an eye on domestic awards, but also for international award selections.
Therefore, by comparison, a school's Hall of Fame is not worth paying too much attention to.
"What? You want to go back this graduation season?"
Liu Rulan flipped through the documents and then said, "That's possible. The school has sent out invitations. If you're interested, you can go back and take a look."
Xiao He thought about it and then rejected the suggestion: "Forget it, I don't seem to have any achievements worth mentioning right now. If I go back directly, it would be quite awkward, and I wouldn't be able to set an example for the younger students."
So let's wait for the Best Actor award.
Xiao He made a vow in his mind.
Liu Rulan, however, seemed to understand her perfectly. She chuckled on the other end of the phone and said, "Don't worry, what's meant to come will come eventually. We won't miss it again."
Xiao He raised an eyebrow slightly: "Sister Liu?"
Considering that Liu Rulan had been on a business trip to Beijing recently and was extremely busy, Xiao He had some guesses: "Actually, I don't need to be in such a hurry."
"This isn't a question of whether you're in a hurry or not," Liu Rulan said helplessly. "Alright, that's enough. I'll be back in a few days. You should also get ready; Director He is coming back with us."
"OK."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao He let out a long sigh.
A few days later, Xiao He posted a Weibo post celebrating his alma mater's graduation season, which once again sparked a small-scale discussion.
On the same day, Liu Rulan and her film crew landed at Shanghai Airport.
Xiao He and Shu Han went to the airport to pick up someone.
However, when Xiao He and Shu Han saw He Jinnian this time, they were both taken aback.
He Jinnian has been famous in the industry for a long time and has won numerous Best Actor awards. He is the type who has advantages in both appearance and acting skills, so there is no need to say more about his looks. Even in middle age, he is still a ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) handsome man.
However, since He Jinnian publicly retired from the entertainment industry last year, he has not appeared in front of the media again, and Xiao He has not seen him for more than a year.
To Xiao He's utter surprise, his unkempt appearance deeply shocked him when he saw He Jinnian again.
Perhaps due to his busy directing work after retiring from the entertainment industry, He Jinnian has become much thinner, with prominent cheekbones and a stubble beard that has completely covered his chin and cheeks. Even his hair has grown very long and looks somewhat messy, so he can only tie it up with a simple hair tie.
What's even more striking is the occasional silver hair mixed in with He Jinnian's long hair, which makes him look not only very haggard but also somewhat old.
It's no exaggeration to say that He Jinnian is now so thin he looks like a consumptive, as if he could ascend to heaven after taking just a few more steps.
Xiao He even wanted to help him up.
Is this the power of a director?
That's terrifying, absolutely terrifying!
In fact, it wasn't just Xiao He who was shocked; Shu Han, who was standing to the side, was also quite shocked. He looked at He Jinnian with a hesitant expression, as if he wanted to say a few words to relieve He Jinnian's pressure. However, after thinking about it, he realized that He Jinnian was the director, and it would be somewhat sarcastic for him, as an actor, to say such things. So Shu Han chose to keep quiet.
He Wenming, He Jinqian's former manager, saw the state of the person in front of him and immediately began to criticize: "You're only temporarily retiring from the entertainment industry, not retiring from your citizenship. Do you really not care about your health? You're doing this as soon as I leave? Huh?"
Agents naturally exert a suppressive effect on artists, and this is true even for Ho Kam-nin.
Faced with his former agent's complaints, he lowered his head awkwardly: "I've been busy with filming lately, and I really haven't had time to take care of these personal matters."
"Where's your assistant? I remember I left you a personal assistant."
He Wenming still had a furrowed brow.
"Well--"
He Jinnian pretended not to hear and instead urged Lao Qi in front to drive faster.
Liu Rulan, arms crossed, exposed He Jinnian's secret: "His personal assistant was so busy following him around all day that she got sick and was hospitalized. She's still lying in bed now."
"If I hadn't gone to Beijing on a business trip this time, I'm afraid this guy could have continued to endure it."
Liu Rulan's words caused He Wenming's blood pressure to spike, while Xiao He scratched his head, feeling as if this scene was familiar.
Then, during He Wenming's more than half an hour of nagging to He Jinnian, Xiao He suddenly remembered.
He was similarly busy during the Spring Festival period, so much so that the company assigned two assistants to take turns working with Xiao Chen. Otherwise, given how busy he was during that time, he probably would have been able to keep one of his assistants busy as well...
However—cough cough, he dares to do this because he has a cheat code; he's not afraid!
He Jinnian dared to challenge such physiological limits with his mortal body; he was truly fearless.
Xiao He was filled with awe.
Upon hearing He Wenming's education and criticism of He Jinnian, Xiao He could only gloat and say, "Serves him right!"
No matter how busy you are with work, your health is the most important thing!
Seemingly sensing Xiao He's eagerness to watch the show, Liu Rulan glared at him sharply, saying, "You should listen to it too."
This guy is also the kind of person who works himself to the bone when he's busy. Last time he was so busy that she had to secretly use oxygen. She doesn't know where this kid gets so much energy.
Xiao He immediately sat up straight, trying his best to minimize his presence.
If you've talked about Director He, you can't talk about me anymore, okay?
