Naturally, Gu Caiwei came to the capital to meet Lin Yi. It happened that the company's situation was relatively stable during this period, so the two of them finally didn't miss it again.
Not only did they secretly celebrate Gu Caiwei's birthday this year, but what was particularly rare was that they were able to see the clear blue sky in the autumn and winter in the capital.
Well, APEC Blue is available for a limited time.
Naturally, I would like to congratulate the program on its success, but this was actually within Lin Yi's expectation.
Gu Caiwei looked very proud. Lin knew that she was very good at singing. She even punished him during the chorus in high school.
However, Yue opera is where she admits her shortcomings, and she is actually recognized by the master-level teacher Yue Guan.
"Awesome, awesome, you are the best!"
Although Lin Yi said yes, his expression did not completely match, and it seemed very contrary to his will, as if he was saying:
I thought you were able to become a disciple because you are good at opera and singing, but I didn’t expect that they just took a fancy to your reputation and wanted to make you a mascot!
And he had a sudden thought: "You said that Teacher Yue Guan is your mother's master, so now that you have become her close disciple, doesn't it mean that you are one generation higher than your mother?"
Ms. Gu Changge also thought of this, but she was really devout to Shaoxing opera, so she didn't care. Instead, she told Gu Caiwei to study opera well with Teacher Yue Guan and fulfill the old man's wish.
Such unflattering remarks were punished by Gu Caiwei with an iron fist.
After a rough fight, Lin Yi felt quite reluctant to leave, because the end of the program recording naturally meant that Gu Caiwei was leaving the capital.
During this recording, they spent a lot of time together. They were used to being separated all the time, and it didn't seem to matter. Once they got used to being like glue, they felt that their longing began to flow like water.
Wenwen Township is the Tomb of Heroes.
Lin Yi cheered himself up in his heart and accepted the fact that Gu Caiwei was leaving. After all, he also had his own things to be busy with.
But before that, another person found him because of Gu Caiwei's matter.
"We need to talk."
Lin Yi did not refuse the invitation. He still maintained a little respect for classmate Gu Caiwei's boss, although he did not know the other party's intention.
Peng Yuchen looked a little angry, wondering who he had just had a quarrel with.
"Lin Yi, Gu Caiwei just rejected a performance opportunity I finally found for her. Is this what you meant?"
Lin Yi did not comment: "What opportunity?"
Peng Yuchen frowned, wondering in his mind whether this guy was pretending or if he really didn't know.
"You know that Gu Caiwei's popularity soared very quickly after she appeared on "Singer", but for a female idol, she needs to frequently show up on the screen and gain a sense of presence in front of fans, otherwise her popularity will be lost."
"She said that I arranged too much work for her, which affected the meeting between the two of you, so I agreed to record this program for CTV without saying a word."
"During the time she was in the capital, you two met privately every day. I didn't stand in the way, right? Instead, I tried my best to cover up for you two."
"This time I found an idol drama for her with an excellent production team and talked about the role of the female lead, but she rejected it without even watching it."
"Lin Yi, if this is your request, then I am very disappointed in you. I originally thought that since you agreed to Gu Caiwei's debut in a girl group, you should be a very open-minded person."
"I can guarantee that this drama is a very sunny and healthy campus idol drama without any nudity or intimate scenes."
"For the sake of Gu Caiwei's image, I will also communicate with the crew that all kissing scenes will be shot using borrowed locations. These are not problems."
"This is a very professional film and television production. We have many technical means to achieve our goals. I hope you will not use your narrow machismo to limit Gu Caiwei's future."
Lin Yi understood what was going on, and he thought that this guy came to him in a menacing manner because he was trying to punish him for something serious.
He chuckled lightly and said, "Mr. Peng, first of all, I want to explain that before you just told me about this matter, I did not know about it, and I never asked Gu Caiwei for anything."
"But, I support it."
"As far as I know, Gu Caiwei never took the acting classes you arranged seriously when she was training in Chengdu. Instead, the guy named Xu Yali is the top student here."
"She agreed to your invitation to become a trainee and then debut in a girl group, but it was just out of her interest and ambition in her singing career. You should know better than me that she has no talent in acting."
Peng Yuchen argued: "What kind of talent is needed to act in an idol drama? Just shoot a MV or a pictorial. This is just a means of exposure..."
Lin Yi immediately interrupted her: "Let me hear what I have to say first!"
"Mr. Peng, I understand your way of working. You do not arrange jobs for your artists based on their talents and members' interests."
"Of course you asked Gu Caiwei to film this idol drama because she is the most popular right now. Maybe she was requested by the showrunner."
"But that's your logic, not mine. To me, Gu Caiwei's idol career is a way for her to realize herself, not even a means of making a living, so naturally I won't force her to do something she doesn't want to do.
, let alone help you achieve your goals."
"And I happen to know very well that she will indeed have no future in acting, so I will support her even more."
"besides."
Lin Yi looked at her and emphasized, "As for what you call my narrow male chauvinism, I don't want to deny it. But Mr. Peng, I want to remind you that this has nothing to do with you."
"I am not your artist or employee. I respect you solely because you are Gu Caiwei's boss. You two have a win-win relationship in your career. It does not mean that I have any obligations to you."
"Otherwise, normally you need to make an appointment in advance to see me."
"I hope Mr. Peng won't bother me with this kind of thing next time."
Peng Yuchen had enough reasons to respond to Lin Yi's previous words, but at the end of the sentence, she was speechless.
His meaning if translated in another way is approximately equal to:
"You don't deserve to talk to me like that."
If we look at it from the perspective of social status, there is no problem with Lin Yi's statement.
He is not some idle street kid, but the big boss of a unicorn star startup company with thousands of employees!
Peng Yuchen is actually paying attention to Lin Yi. She knows that according to various media reports, the man in front of her in her early twenties has a net worth of close to 2 billion US dollars.
His exposure in the entrepreneurial world this year is no less than that of Gu Caiwei in the entertainment industry.
You must know that just over a year ago, when Gu Caiwei debuted, she had a conversation with Lin Yi. At that time, Lin Yi had just sold his last entrepreneurial project and his net worth did not exceed US$20 million at most.
Worth a hundred times!
Peng Yuchen is a person who is very aware of current affairs. She knows what is worthy of respect in this society.
It's just that Lin Yi's change in identity happened too fast, and she hasn't turned the corner yet.
After realizing her misunderstanding, she had already mentally decided to give this shooting opportunity to another artist under her banner, Xu Yali.
Although she is not the person that the show wants, this is not negotiable, and Peng Yuchen is already considering what conditions to offer in exchange.
After all, apart from Gu Caiwei, Xu Yali, the second most popular member of the FIVE group, is already enough to sweep the idol circle, because no other girl group can beat her.
When Peng Yuchen left, he just felt a little emotional.
Who would have thought that this young couple that I met at the Golden Arch Gate in Lin'an would reach this point in just a few years?
