This actor has something

Chapter 265 Great Enlightenment
Only three days passed from the 18th to the 20th, but during these three days, Xie Tingfeng deeply experienced what it meant to go from heaven to hell.

Three days ago, he was still feeling flattered by everyone in the crew, but three days later, he could only obediently come to the ward with Zhang Weijian, carrying a fruit basket, to visit.

Everyone in the ward had a stiff smile, but they all knew what was going on.

As the camera finished taking the picture, the three people who had been so lively just now fell silent.

This awkward atmosphere was particularly uncomfortable, not only for Xie Tingfeng, but also for the other two people.

Time passed minute by minute in silence. The three of them hardly made eye contact with each other, as they were all thinking about their own thoughts.

The sunset outside the window was particularly beautiful, shining obliquely on the wall of the ward with the evening glow, and the snow-white wall was dyed orange.

So beautiful...

Xie Tingfeng looked through the window at the piles of fiery clouds in the sky outside that were slowly changing colors, and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Sunsets are always moving, but time is extremely short, just like my own short-lived star journey in the past year after my comeback, from the height of my career to helpless loneliness.

Thinking of this, Xie Tingfeng didn't want to continue acting. He stood up and said lightly: "I'm leaving first."

After saying that, he didn't look at anyone, walked to the door, pushed it open and prepared to leave.

Zhang Weijian was too lazy to continue pretending. He didn't even want to say hello. He just stood up and followed Xie Tingfeng.

A group of excited young nurses came over at the door with longing in their eyes. When they saw Xie Tingfeng smiling at them gently, they felt their hearts melt.

The pen quickly moved across the paper, leaving behind elegant and appropriate signatures. He handed the signatures to the nurses one by one. Before leaving, Xie Tingfeng gently thanked them, "Thank you for your love."

It was not until he and Zhang Weijian left the hospital and got into the car amid the bombardment of reporters that Xie Tingfeng suddenly seemed to have lost his spirit, his shoulders drooped, and his expression became gloomy.

"Has it been confirmed that Xiaoyuer and Hua Wuque will be reshot?" Zhang Weijian asked suddenly.

Xie Tingfeng nodded.

He didn't have much desire to have a deep conversation right now, so he just nodded.

Xie Tingfeng's perfunctory attitude made Zhang Weijian even more irritated. He rubbed his face and asked, "This drama is almost finished. Will Director Wang Jing and you, Ying Huang, be responsible for the losses?"

Xie Tingfeng turned his head to look at him and said in a flat tone, "Don't think about it. Mr. Yang has accepted the money. Even if he doesn't, Zhou Huimin is richer than you think. Don't think that you are implicated by me. We were a little too proud of ourselves before, which made too many people feel uncomfortable. Yonghui Qiming's intervention was just to save everyone's face."

After he finished speaking, he stopped talking. No matter how Zhang Weijian asked him questions, he just nodded or shook his head. Later, he even stopped responding.

Seeing that he could not get any other information, Zhang Weijian could only get out of the car angrily at the airport, leaving Xie Tingfeng sitting in the car and staring blankly at the only remaining red spot in the sky.

The vibration of his cell phone brought him back to his senses. Looking at the word "baby" on it, he sighed and answered the call.

"Hey! Brother Feng, are you okay? That couple is so bullying. I've been scolding them online all day. Don't worry, I'll find some paparazzi to expose the truth right away. This time, I'm going to give them a lesson..."

"Azhi, stop making trouble."

Zhang Baizhi on the other end of the phone paused after hearing this. After a long while, she said indignantly, "Brother Feng, they directly snatched the role you were about to finish filming. You can't just put up with this, right?"

"Stop making trouble, especially don't mess with He Daqi. You were right there with me at the time, so you should know exactly what happened. It was indeed my fault, and it was me who refused to admit defeat and kept deceiving myself. I've made too many wrong and stupid things before, and I don't want to make any more mistakes. My mind has been in a mess these past two days, and I just want to be alone. That's it, I'm hanging up now."

After hanging up the phone, Xie Tingfeng turned off the phone directly. When he looked out the window again, night had already begun to fall.

In two days, he figured out a lot of things.

In the past, I always thought that I could take over the king’s job, and gradually became arrogant amidst the praise. However, before the king retired, the newcomer had already risen to his feet.

He Daqi, Zhou Jielun, and Chen Guanxi, their rise to fame was even faster than mine, so fast that I couldn't react and became so manic and anxious.

In the eyes of the Hong Kong media, Chen Guanxi has become a more suitable successor to the king of pop than himself.

Zhou Jielun was even given the title of Little King.

And He Daqi...

To be honest, the person who knows you best is often your enemy. Now when Xie Tingfeng looks back carefully, she is surprised to find that He Daqi may not have cared about the entertainment industry from the beginning. This is the saddest thing.

I have always treated a person who is just playing around as my opponent, but it just happens that his casual play is better than my deliberate development.

It's not my fault. The key is that He Daqi is too deceptive. He has top-notch looks, acting skills that don't match his age, and a changeable temperament. No matter which young person sees him, who can not regard him as an imaginary enemy?
Thinking of this, Xie Tingfeng laughed helplessly.

His smile was a little bitter.

……

Different from Xie Tingfeng.

He Daqi was smiling like a fool at this moment.

"Hahahahaha, so good! Trojan! Lele, come on, bark again."

He Daqi's precious daughter disgustedly pulled her father's face away with her little hands, and then clumsily wiped it on her own face twice.

The meaning was very clear, she didn't want He Daqi to continue kissing her face.

Seeing the little girl's lips start to turn up, He Daqi quickly put her back in the stroller with a chuckle. Turning back, he cheerfully asked everyone, "Did you hear that? My daughter just called out 'Daddy.'"

"I heard it, wasn't it just an accidental cry? Look at your face now, grinning like an idiot. Why are they all calling mommy now? And it wasn't an accident. I didn't even brag, so what do you have to brag about?"

Zhou Huimin babbled proudly, saying that she would not show off, but her expression made it seem as if she wanted to grab anyone and tell them proudly: My child can call me mom!
Other things would be fine, but He Daqi really cared about this matter. He always felt that he lost the game on the issue of who the child should call first.

Damn it! I was only away for less than ten days, and Zhou Huimin actually took the lead!

He Daqi's happiness suddenly faded a little, and he said with a sigh, "Well, Xiaoyuer and Hua Wuque, right? Let's just say, do I have to act in it? If not, let someone else play it. I want to stay home and spend more time with the kids."

"You're dreaming! One of us has to play the leading role. We still owe Huan Ya two movies. If we don't act, are we going to keep owing them forever?"

As soon as Zhou Huimin finished speaking, He Daqi instantly grasped the key information and asked back, "You said that if I don't act, then I won't act at all? What you mean is that you didn't plan to act from the beginning, right?"

"I'm not going to play the leading role, I'm just going to make a guest appearance. Huan Ya said that now that you're the leading actor, you can get a acting gig, so I can suffer less. You can't force me to be the leading actor, right?" Zhou Huimin sat on the sofa, looking up at He Daqi, with a slight smile on her lips.

He Daqi cursed inwardly, he didn't expect that Zhou Huimin would enjoy her retirement life early.

"Mr. He, we discussed this before you came back and felt that the role of Hua Wuque is more suitable for you." Wu Nannan said with a smile.

"Shouldn't the role of Xiaoyuer be more suitable for me?"

"Vivian asked Wang Jing to change the script. She wants you to play Hua Wuque." Liu Ying said with a smile.

"You obviously have already decided on the roles, so what did you mean when you asked me to choose the role when I just came back?" He Daqi spread his hands.

Liu Ying smiled and didn't answer.

Just at this moment, Qin Hu came in with a lunch box. Liu Ying and Wu Nannan went over to take it, and then placed it on the dining table one by one.

He Daqi, Zhou Huimin, and Wang Rui also stood up and came to the dining table.

After eating Korean food for more than a week, and not having a proper meal today, He Daqi started to salivate when he saw this table of food.

Since they were all family, he didn't want to put on airs, so he casually took the rice that Zhou Huimin served him, scooped a few pieces of braised pork into the bowl, and then started to eat it, enjoying it so much.

Someone took the lead in eating, and the food tasted particularly delicious. Especially when they saw He Daqi's attitude, Liu Ying and the others also had a big appetite and ate half a bowl of rice more than usual.

After finishing their meal, Liu Ying and Wu Nannan played with the children for a while and then said goodbye and left. However, Wang Rui stayed and drank tea slowly, and was not in a hurry to leave.

After He Daqi sat down on the sofa, Wang Rui said, "Daqi, your team needs to be expanded. I didn't expect Yabo.com to have such a strong ability to gather fans. The current number of people is a bit too small to handle all your work."

"Ouch! Brother Rui, when you said this, I remembered something! Wait for me."

He Daqi got up and went back to the bedroom. He opened his suitcase and took out the blessing book that the fan had given him. He walked out of the bedroom and put it on the tea table.

"These are from my fan club in South Korea. I promised them I would reply to each one. Brother Rui, please find two people who can speak Korean to help me write congratulatory messages. It doesn't have to be too many, just a few hundred per person a day. Repeating is fine. I'll sign them when the time comes. I'll mail a thousand copies every few days, so I'll probably need to do it eight times."

Wang Rui opened it and took a look. Since it was in Korean, he couldn't understand it. However, looking at the densely packed words written by different people, he knew what it meant.

"Fans in China have also sent some of these to the company. If you send them back for autographs, you can't be partial. You have to send back the domestic ones as well. That's a lot of work. If that doesn't work, find someone else to sign for you?"

He Daqi quickly waved his hand and refused, "No, no, I can just sign slowly myself. Just treat it as practice. Signing 500 a day shouldn't be a problem. If I ask my assistant to do everything, how can I express my feelings?"

Wang Rui didn't continue to persuade him. He nodded, then his expression became serious and he said, "Okay, you have the final say. Next, let's talk about the problem of Yabo.com."

Hearing this, He Daqi and Zhou Huimin slowly sat up straight.

Wang Rui saw that the two of them were serious, so he continued, "Our user base is growing very fast. It seems that our initial strategy of inviting celebrities to join us exclusively was indeed a good one. However, we need to move even faster in the next public beta test. We should give priority to signing exclusive contracts with celebrities so that others won't be able to imitate us."

The other thing is to spend money to attract users. Liu's idea at the time was a good one: as soon as the computer was installed, the homepage was set to 369. We can also learn from them and install our client on thousands of computers in the same way. Both of these costs a lot. Can you afford it with your current funds?"

"Have you calculated how much it is?" Zhou Huimin asked.

"At least 200 million, because we have to race against time, otherwise others will easily copy our operations after they react." Wang Rui replied.

"That's no problem." Zhou Huimin waved her hand gently when she heard that it was just this little money.

Wang Rui nodded and said, "Well, let's talk about other things. After the public beta of Yabo.com, Fengyu Tonglu is now short of manpower. We also need to use our own servers on a large scale. We can't continue to rent others. Servers are easy to deal with, but manpower is not so easy. We may need to recruit hundreds of fresh graduates and dozens of programmers with development skills."

This problem is indeed a headache. Although computer science has begun to be taught on a large scale in China, we have just started to learn it and it is not yet time to reap the benefits.

Fresh graduates with computer science majors are in great demand, not to mention programmers with development capabilities, who are basically impossible to find in the job market.

Wang Rui saw that He Daqi and Zhou Huimin didn't reply and just looked at him. He shrugged and said, "I don't have many options. The only thing I can think of right now is to spend money to poach people. Otherwise, by the time we train the new graduates, I think our time advantage will be gone."

He Daqi frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "Then let's pay a high price to poach them. We can't give up the time advantage we've worked so hard to gain. Otherwise, others will follow our example and sign exclusive contracts with celebrities. Then it will really become a money-burning war."

In fact, the money-burning war doesn’t matter. Currently, apart from venture capital, there are only a few companies in China that have more cash than Zhou Huimin.

However, if it really reaches the level of a money-burning war, it means that there are at least two platforms similar to Yabo.com on the Internet, otherwise there would be no money-burning war.

In that case, Yabo.com may not be able to achieve its goal of occupying the majority of the market share. It is estimated that it can only compete with one or several companies for users, and it is likely that several companies will join forces to fight against Yabo.com.
