Huayu: From charlatan to great entertainer

Chapter 7 Actress Affair
This piece of gossip was very popular at the beginning of the millennium, but the Internet was not well developed at that time and it was soon lost in the long river of history.

During the filming of "The White-Haired Witch" in 2000, Jiang Qinqin secretly fell in love with director Zhang Xiaozheng. After being criticized by the director's wife, the media made a big publicity and exposure of the affair.

Judging from her slightly melancholy mood at the moment, she must have reached the point of confronting this couple.

"How is it?" Jiang Qinqin thought that the fact might not be known to everyone in the mainland yet, so it was a good opportunity to test the Taoist's ability.

"Sister Jiang, we in the Dao sect are not willing to engage in these trivial practices of face reading and fortune telling. The so-called Feng Shui theory is all about taking advantage of the situation and encouraging people to do good."

"But today, your horoscope and this person's is called Bing Zi Xin Mao, so you have to pay attention."

Zhou Xun probably knew about her bestie's relationship with the Taiwanese director, so she hurriedly asked, "Tell me more about it!"

"The four pillars combine to form a punishment, and this person will often lose his life due to alcohol and sex. This person is destined to have a lot of romantic relationships, and is not a good match. Sister Jiang should stay away from him."

Jiang Qinqin felt sad in her heart. She knew very well that he was not a good match for her. He had cheated on her many times before and was also a notorious person in Taiwan Province.

But when I am working hard in this circle, I wonder when I can make my own decisions...

Seeing that she wasn't reacting strongly, Lu Kuan continued to advise, "Sister Jiang's fate is to have the Gengchen luck. 2000 is the Gengchen year, which is called the conjunction of year and luck. You should seize the opportunity to make further progress in your career. Don't be affected by these bad peach blossoms. Cut it off when you have time!"

The speaker has his own intentions, and the listener takes it even more seriously. Didn't her career take off in 2000? Last year, Qiong Yao took on "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch", followed by "Hero Zheng Chenggong" and the drama version of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", as well as "Wind and Cloud" and the period drama "Dreams Come True".

They are all big IPs and high-quality productions. Is it true that there is such a logical relationship as the little Taoist priest said?

Thinking back to that unbearable affair, she stammered, not knowing what to say.

Zhou Xun was getting anxious: "Lu Kuan, just tell me what she should do now."

Now it’s the PR company boss’s turn.

"Cut off all ties with this person. Prepare a press release so that if they do something strange, you can respond and clarify quickly."

Jiang Qinqin looked at him in astonishment. If what she had said before was just superficial, this sentence directly inserted the theme and fully explained her current situation.

In the original time and space, in early 2002, Zhang Xiaozheng's wife's affair was exposed to the media, and Jiang Qinqin was criticized for it, which caused setbacks in her acting career.

"Hmm..." Jiang Qinqin was a little hesitant. It was really embarrassing for a young Taoist priest to reveal these private matters.

But Zhou Xun and Jiang Qinqin were now somewhat convinced of Lu Kuan. Their previous suspicions that he was playing tricks were gone. At least everything he said had come true.

Don’t be surprised by the superstitious filters of people in the entertainment industry in this era. Haven’t you heard of Bai Longwang, Chen Bo, Wang Lin, Zhao Qunxue and the like?

As the boss of a public relations company in the future, Lu Kuan is not surprised by these phenomena, which are determined by the competitive situation in the entertainment industry.

It should be said that since various capitals entered the entertainment industry, the entire entertainment industry has faced the uncertainty of high risks and high returns.

Top stars are vying for the top of the pyramid, but that position can only accommodate two or three people.

When everyone is extremely outstanding, they do need a little mysterious luck to help.

Even Ma Yun had flirted with Wang Lin and others. Apart from using him as a broker, it is hard to say whether there was any real trust between them.

The topic was a bit heavy, Lu Kuan turned to Zhou Xun and said with a smile: "Xun'er, do you also need to consider your feelings?" "No, I don't. I'm used to being free and I can't stand advice!"

Zhou Xun was a little scared after he ruthlessly pointed out Jiang Qinqin's affair just now, and didn't want to expose himself to outsiders.

She was known as a male star harvester in later generations. Before the current Li Yapeng, she had four boyfriends, the last one being Park Shu.

I can only say that I live a really cool life!
Lu Kuan smiled and shook his head, picked up the tea and blew away the floating leaves.

He didn't make too many judgments about the right and wrong of the love affairs of these female stars in the entertainment industry. Personal feelings had nothing to do with morality, and he wasn't planning to marry them, so who would care so much?

This circle is too complicated and magical, and no one who gets involved will be spared.

However, as the owner of a public relations company, he is accustomed to the ups and downs of the entertainment industry and has the simplest moral concept towards this circle: equal exchange.

As for female celebrities, they do things when they are excited and stop when they are tired. There is no need to think about so many things. Life is for fun and the focus should still be on career.

"Xun brother, you are so generous. Let me give you a piece of advice. It's up to you whether you listen to it or not."

Both actresses cast inquiring glances at him, curious about what verdict he would make.

"The crew has been having a lot of trouble lately. Aren't you going to Suzhou to film tomorrow? No matter what happens, don't go anywhere after filming. Just stay in the hotel!"

Of course, he would not tell the two of them about the twists and turns in the crew, as he was still waiting to earn the 200,000 yuan from Zhang Jizhong!
But then again, some things can be changed by simply pointing them out, and the development of some things has its own internal logic. If Lu Kuan traveled back to the time before 911/, what could he change?

The originally pleasant shopping and eating trip ended early because the two actresses were worried. The three of them returned to the hotel to rest and had a peaceful night.

Lu Kuan in the room dialed several numbers in succession but they were all unavailable. It was only on the third time that he got through. It seemed that the young Taoist priest and his senior brother in Beijing had not been in contact for a long time.

"Hello, who is it?"

"Brother, I'm Lu Kuan."

The other party was silent for a while, then burst into curses: "You son of a bitch, you still remember to call me?"

"Don't tell me you're still doing those scams! If you don't want to go to school when you come to the capital, I'll find you a job!"

Zhuang Xu worked at CICC after graduating from the Finance Department of Huaqing University.

To say that he has a bright future is an understatement. This is also due to his internship experience at Morgan Stanley during his junior year and the recommendation of a professor in the school who was very optimistic about him.

He grew up with Lu Kuan and knew that his junior fellow apprentice was not a bad person by nature. It was just that after the death of their master, no one disciplined him and he went astray. He also refused his help because of his pride.

There is a kind of person in this world who may cheat and do all kinds of evil things outside, but he still has a sense of shame in front of people he is familiar with. Those evil things may just be done for survival.

"Brother, I will be going to the capital soon, but you have to do me a favor first and help me register a company."

"Ari, your life is already terrible, and you still want to start a company? A scam company?"
