The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 117 Showing Weakness
Although Xiao Han is a well-known "hype man" in the entertainment industry, it is undeniable that he was truly popular before his scandal broke.

How popular is it?
They can compete with Lu Nanting for resources, and occasionally even win.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be rivals.

To be able to promote someone with little talent to this extent, especially with an unprofessional agent, Mei Xue is truly something else.

Gu Lanxi had the idea of ​​setting up her own studio, not primarily to increase her commercial value, but to deal with the potential public opinion crisis that her marriage might bring her.

Finding Mei Xue to be her agent is the perfect choice.

Xiao Han's downfall was extremely disreputable, and his staff are now finding it very difficult to find jobs.

At times like these, extending an olive branch to them greatly increases the chances of recruiting them.

Laymen might think that if the boss is so terrible, the staff around him must be just as bad.

actually not.

Like Lu Nanting, the only people who are usually by his side are his assistant and agent. Everyone else has to go to the studio to work and basically won't be with him.

What he did was something that ordinary staff members could never possibly know.

Therefore, having a headhunting firm conduct background checks and select some highly capable individuals to work for her is perfectly fine.

Many well-known agents in the entertainment industry come from public relations backgrounds.

Compared to ordinary agents, they have a stronger ability to perceive crises and are better able to help artists avoid risks.

The longer the artists under your management are popular, the greater their fame will naturally become.

What is public relations?

Many people think that public relations is only good at crisis management. In fact, good public relations professionals are also very good at external communication and image building, and often have a wide network of contacts.

Gu Lanxi first learned about Mei Xue at an investment circle gathering. Lu Nanting's uncle was present and was chatting with another entertainment company owner about influential figures in the industry. When Mei Xue was mentioned, both of them praised her.

Tao Yong is useless. He used to be able to be a tool, but this time, with such a big incident, he's like a pig, showing no reaction at all.

Once news of her marriage to Lu Nanting gets out, she will face a storm of events that Tao Yong will absolutely be unable to withstand.

Gu Lanxi has a completely capitalist mindset; she decided to fire people without even giving them a heads-up.

At the same time, she plans to separate from Starlight Entertainment, open her own studio, and build her own team.

Her own laid-back attitude is her own business, but it's really disappointing that the company treats her the same way.

As for whether Mei Xue is suitable?
Gu Lanxi wasn't worried at all.

As long as she is good enough, Mei Xue will naturally become the person she desires if she wants a bright future.

I used to think too simply.

After arranging for the headhunter to recruit people, Gu Lanxi first went to the corner to grab a bottle of mineral water, opened it, drank half of it, cleared her throat, and then dialed Lu Nanting's number.

Lu Nanting's upbringing and upbringing prevented him from bullying others. Despite being 22 years old, he still retains the innocence of a young man and has always followed the rules and regulations in his work.

People around him would fawn over him and pamper him as long as their own vital interests were not involved, making him feel that the world was a wonderful place.

If you want him to grow, you still need to teach him.

Gu Lanxi is different from him.

She had experienced poverty and hardship, witnessed much of the world's depravity, and deeply understood the nature of humanity.

Now that she has capital in her hands, she can no longer act like an ordinary artist.

Rather than engaging in verbal battles, she prefers to solve problems at their root.

Lu Nanting had just hung up on Fan Tiantian and was feeling a rush of anger. He took several deep breaths before answering the phone.

Then he heard his wife's sleepy voice: "Bro, someone's badmouthing me, it's trending on social media."

Immediately, Lu Nanting could no longer care about the frustration in his heart and quickly reassured her, "I just received a call too, and I'm trying to figure out a solution. Don't worry, okay?"

Gu Lanxi immediately smiled easily, "With you here, I'm not afraid of anything. Oh, and remember to remind me to treat Sister Fan to dinner later. It's the middle of the night, and I'm so grateful she notified you in time!"

Upon hearing her words, Lu Nanting couldn't help but reflect on his own actions. His anger was truly unreasonable.

After all, this is indeed not within Fan Tiantian's job scope.

In the middle of the night, when she realized something was wrong, Fan Tiantian was already very kind to call him in time to remind him.

Thinking of this, Lu Nanting breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "I understand, don't worry, I won't argue with her."

Seeing that he immediately understood her meaning, Gu Lanxi chuckled and immediately praised him:

"Yes, brother is broad-minded and reasonable."

Before he could even chuckle to himself, he added, "Tao Yong's energy is all focused on the idol group, he really can't take care of me. I'm planning to change managers, bro, what do you think of Mei Xue?"

The surname Mei is not common, and he understood after Gu Lanxi said that.

"To be fair, he's very capable, but... I've heard... he's not easy to get along with."

Xiao Han's abilities are really mediocre. Every time Lu Nanting suffers a loss at his hands, he will curse Mei Xue a hundred times behind her back. Gu Lanxi can't help but laugh when she sees him speaking awkwardly.

He coughed twice before speaking seriously, "I don't plan to be friends with her. As long as she's capable, that's enough. I plan to sign her and have her be my manager."

Lu Nanting thought for a moment, then nodded: "Then I'll find their contact information and try contacting them tomorrow?"

“I don’t need to do the negotiations myself. I’ll leave the professional stuff to the professionals. I’m currently preparing for my new company and I’ve already contacted a headhunting firm that I have a long-term working relationship with.”

Lu Nanting felt a little disappointed, thinking that he hadn't been able to help.

Before he could say anything, Gu Lanxi's soft, gentle voice came through the phone again:

“I… I want to start my own studio and separate from Starlight, but I don’t know anything about it. I feel like I should ask you first to put my mind at ease, otherwise I won’t be able to sleep tonight.”

Old Lu immediately lost the chance.

"What's the big deal? Leave it to me! Give me the headhunter's contact information, and we'll sign the contract once everything is settled."

"I don't need to worry about leaving it to you, but I'm afraid my uncle will be unhappy... And, if Mom and Dad find out, will they think I'm an ungrateful wretch?"

"No, you're not an outsider. It's just a matter of a few words. Don't worry, I'll call my uncle right away."

Lu Nanting spoke with exceptional confidence.

After all, he was my father's cousin, and the two families had always had a close relationship.

"Maybe we shouldn't? It's so late."

"My uncle is a late sleeper; I wonder which club he's at right now..."

Lu Nanting stopped talking midway through his sentence.

But Gu Lanxi still guessed what he wanted to say.

"You seem to know those places quite well? After all... we first met at a bar!"

Lu Nanting couldn't help but laugh: "No matter where I go, you can come with me anytime, anywhere."

"Hmm, I'm not going to the men's restroom. If you have any shows that you don't want me to find out about, you'd better arrange them there. Otherwise, if I catch you, I can beat you to death."

Lu Nanting couldn't help but laugh.

If it weren't for caring, who would bother with all that?
In summary, Sister Xi's dating secrets are: always make your partner feel needed, acknowledge their abilities, offer straightforward praise, and provide tactful advice...

They give you face, a sense of security, and emotional value. They are rich, good-looking, and have a good personality—sincere, gentle, straightforward, rational, insightful, and emotionally stable.

That's the power of the nation's girlfriend.

Without making any special effort, he can attract countless male fans. If he specifically targets one, we can call him "Mr. Pouty Lips".

Using your brain to date and following your feelings are truly two different things.

I wonder if I've captured the feeling I wanted?
