Fortunately, Jingjing is a thick-skinned person and will not be knocked down by this little setback.
Wu Di made a high-profile statement, saying that she was cheating money, but she simply ignored the topic and instead discussed which restaurant to eat at.
I also dug out some old travel guides. I want to find the best restaurant and try it right away.
Wu Di didn't let her bother and took them directly to a high-end Western restaurant in the capital's business district.
It's called Blue Island.
This restaurant was also visited by Wu Di in his previous life. As a high-end Western restaurant that has stood in the capital for more than ten years, Blue Island certainly has its own merits.
The dishes are rich and fresh, and the most important thing is, the quality and taste are unparalleled.
Moreover, in addition to the seasonal limited new products every year, the taste of those specialty dishes has not changed over the years.
This is very rare in Western restaurants.
It can be seen that Blue Island's kitchen has always been very stable and can ensure continuous output.
In addition, the warm but tasteful decoration style is also a plus point for Blue Island. In recent years, there have been more and more Western restaurants, some in the fast-moving style, simple and cold style, and some in the palace style.
The style is as if you can be transported to medieval France when you come to this restaurant.
However, Wu Di doesn't like those styles.
An overly simple and simple decoration seems to give people the impression that the dishes we sell here are mainly economical and affordable, and they are not available freshly made. It is already a kindness for you not to use cooking bags.
The other is too extravagant and exaggerated.
Although Wu Di was a bit exaggerated in his previous life, that was just on the surface. On the inside, Wu Di still knew that he should be down-to-earth.

This is the real world. What can retain customers in a restaurant is always the quality of the dishes, and the decoration is destined to be just an embellishment.
Once the decoration goes beyond the dishes and takes over the main attractions, it also shows that the restaurant is just a show-off.
These luxurious decorations are just tools to attract customers' attention. The purpose is to lure customers into the restaurant. As for whether they can enjoy the delicious food, who cares?
Making money is the most important thing, so restaurants that only focus on making money generally don't prosper in the long run and always go bankrupt easily.
Some of them are useless and cannot even last a year!
Entering the restaurant, Han Jingjing was immediately attracted by the unique temperament of Blue Island.
"Boss Wu, this store is quite expensive!"
The suitcases that the two of them were carrying, at Wu Di's suggestion, they found a place to store. Otherwise, it would be unsightly for the two of them to have such a thing in their hands when they came to such a high-end restaurant.
It's like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
Wu Di took the menu and said casually: "It's really not cheap, but it doesn't matter. I told you a long time ago that I want to treat you to a good meal. Of course I have to honor it."
"You guys should come and see what we have to eat."
Wu Di handed the menu to Jingjing. There were only three people on the table, and Han Jingjing was the only woman. Of course, women had priority when it came to ordering.
Han Jingjing held it in her hand, but did not act immediately.
Instead, he said humbly: "Boss, you treat me and you order."
“The boss is well-informed and must know which of the signature dishes here is delicious.”
This is just telling lies with open eyes. Boss Wu is indeed the boss, but he is not well-informed.
Of the two of you here, who doesn’t know how Wu Di started his career?
Just a few months ago, he was still living in Hengdian, working with the small group of actors on the set every day, and he couldn't even get a full-on shot.
Is it possible to be well-informed?
Later, although he got a film contract, got a starring role, and made some small money, in Hengdian, Wu Di basically lived a life of two points and one line. Can the so-called knowledge increase?
Although he knew that Han Jingjing probably didn't use his brain when he said these words and was just trying to flatter her, Wu Di still felt it was a bit ironic.
"I'm treating you, so I won't order."
"If you're embarrassed, give it to Da Fei."
Eh!
Fortunately, there is Da Fei here, so it would be most appropriate to leave this matter to him.
Da Fei wasn't polite either. It wasn't that he wanted to grab this opportunity, but he was really hungry and couldn't bear it anymore.
With a few instructions, the dishes were ordered.
Now that the food is ready, you can free up your hands to deal with serious matters.
Suddenly, Da Fei, who had always been laughing and joking, became extremely serious.
"Boss, what exactly do you think?"
"I heard from Jingjing yesterday that you have found your next drama?"
"Are there no schedules recently?" After enduring it for a long time, Da Fei finally asked about this matter. To say that right now, this matter is what he is most concerned about.
The mentality of managers is always very tangled. They want their artists to be successful and become famous as soon as possible, but they don't want them to be too talented.
That would make their agent dispensable. Whether it's front-office work or resources, Wu Di can handle it all by himself. So what do you need as an agent?
You are useless!
Then you can be replaced.
For example, those senior artists who have signed contracts with relatively large companies sometimes do not value the film contracts that the company can provide because they themselves have strong connections in the industry.
That kind of super personal connection is unparalleled even by the companies he signed with.
So, what do they sign the company for?
Of course, there is a purpose, but this demand is not based on the film contract, but other seemingly unimportant things.
For example, the establishment of an artist's image and related publicity are very important for new actors. As long as a good persona can be established and established in a short period of time, it will be of great benefit to the artist's future career development.
For senior artists, the same is true.
Before 2005, many film and television artists did not pay attention to the promotion of their personal image. As for actors, as long as their works were excellent, that would be enough.
Even for many artists who are well-known and have stable personalities, their image setting is not deliberate.
But years of experience in the industry have given viewers a deeper understanding of them from inside the camera to outside the camera.
However, since 2005, since the complete rise of the Internet, everything has changed.
Even if you are a senior artist, you still need to maintain an external image of marketing, at least not let bad news fly all over the sky.
Therefore, some senior artists also have to sign with a company, and the company will assign them agents to be responsible for their personal image operations.
This is second and most important. The more famous an actor is, the more business activities he has. Those professional contracts are not within the professional scope of the artist.
If you don't understand it yourself, of course you need to find someone who understands it, and can help them manage their income and expenses properly.
Many brokers also have to manage this part of the affairs, and this part of the affairs is usually very complex and does require dedicated management.
