Huayu: We're asking you to act, and you're playing a superhuman?

Backstage at Happy Camp, all the guests who had just finished recording gathered here.

Unlike the relaxed and enthusiastic atmosphere during filming, without the cameras and the audience's gaze, the creative team of Gu Jian (Ancient Sword) reverted to being colleagues backstage.

However, an unseen atmosphere still silently spread among them.

Everyone glanced at Wang Weili out of the corner of their eye, their faces showing a hint of eagerness.

However, Wang Weili's consistently polite distance left them in a dilemma, making it difficult for them to move forward.

This strange atmosphere automatically created an invisible wall between Wang Weili and the others.

Only one person could ignore this strange atmosphere and run happily to Wang Weili, his eyes sparkling.

"Brother Willie, what you just said on stage..."

Naza suddenly stopped and turned to look around.

Those who had been craning their necks to look in this direction quickly looked away, their faces showing embarrassment.

Naza wrinkled her nose, leaned closer to Wang Weili, and whispered, "Is everything you said true?"

"yes."

Wang Weili smiled faintly, his gaze towards Nazha gentle yet filled with doting affection.

Naza smiled, revealing her teeth, then seemed to remember something, and her tone became tinged with worry.

"You're so amazing... Will you continue acting in the future?"

"Yes, I don't usually need to go to the office, so I have quite a bit of free time."

"That's good!"

Naza smiled excitedly, then turned her head to look around cautiously. Wang Weili thought she was treating the chat as an exchange of information.

However, Naza's next sentence clearly told Wang Weili that she was indeed exchanging intelligence.

"Brother Willie, I'll tell you a secret."

"Um?"

Wang Weili was taken aback, thinking to himself, "Do you have any secrets in your little head that I don't know about?"

Naza pursed her lips and, in a tone that suggested she was announcing a long-planned, groundbreaking strategy, shared her ideas with Wang Weili.

"After the broadcast of 'Swords of Legends' ended, the company arranged a lot of work for me, and I'm also in talks for several endorsements. I feel like I can make a lot of money this year."

Wang Weili assumed this was the secret she was talking about, and his tone couldn't help but soften with a hint of doting and praise.

"That's great! That way, you'll soon have the money for your father's surgery."

"Hmm, yes, but I want to use this money to terminate my contract with the company and then sign with your company."

Naza said cautiously.

She wasn't worried that Wang Weili would abandon her, but rather, she was concerned: "Brother Weili, do you think Sister K will agree to let me terminate the contract early?"

"It's very difficult!"

Wang Weili spoke the truth, but the next second after Nazha's expression changed drastically, he suddenly changed the subject.

"But I'll take care of it for you!"

"ha?!"

Naza was startled, her heart pounding as if she were on a roller coaster.

She gave Wang Weili a reproachful look, and said with a hint of temper, "You're just trying to scare me..."

"I'm not trying to scare you, it really is very difficult," Wang Weili explained in a low voice.

The reason there were so many disputes and struggles when he terminated his contract last year is because, under normal circumstances, Cai Yinong would not have agreed to terminate the contract early.

Don't even mention giving compensation to settle things; they don't care about the small amount of compensation a newcomer can get.

In the eyes of veterans in the entertainment industry like Cai Yinong, promising newcomers can earn the company dozens of times its value in compensation in the future.

Based on the Douyin (TikTok) commentary videos he'd seen in his previous life, Wang Weili knew that artists who were able to terminate their contracts with Sugarman early did so because a new powerful backer stepped in to resolve the issue.

Without a powerful backer, one must first go through a legal process that takes one or two years, during which time one cannot work. Regardless of whether the outcome is a win or a loss, an artist who loses fame and popularity is a loser.

Upon hearing Wang Weili's explanation, Naza asked in alarm, "What should we do then?"

"Go back and focus on your work, save money, and if you encounter a job you don't like, just turn it down. In a few months, I'll have Cai Yinong terminate your contract."

Wang Weili comforted her, his tone gentle yet filled with absolute certainty.

Na Zha's heart stirred, rippling with emotion, and Wang Weili's image was reflected in her eyes.

Just as the two were getting along well, a spoilsport quietly appeared.

"Cough cough."

Wang Weili and Nazha turned to look and saw Yang Mi standing there with her arms crossed and a complicated expression on her face. Her gaze was fixed on Wang Weili's face.

Yang Mi's chest heaved, and she said to Naza, "Naza, can I talk to Willie for a bit?"

"Forehead……"

Naza looked at Wang Weili with only doubt and expectation in her eyes, without any jealousy or questioning.

Only after Wang Weili nodded in confirmation did she leave, her obedient appearance endearing.

After watching Nazha walk away, Yang Mi complained to Wang Weili:

"I never expected you to be such an investment genius. You must have been secretly laughing when I invited you to join us last time, right?"

"A little, but considering you don't know my situation, it's understandable to extend an invitation to an artist who is about to become a sensation and doesn't have a management company."

Wang Weili was always so rational and dignified.

Thinking about the intimacy he showed with Nazha earlier, and his rational and analytical demeanor towards her, Yang Mi felt as if countless tiny insects were gnawing at her heart.

Yang Mi's tone was sour: "The company you mentioned on stage just now, is it the one I helped promote for you last year?"

"Yes, you really did me a big favor."

"and you……"

"I'll help you if I have the chance in the future."

Wang Weili responded proactively, leaving Yang Mi speechless.

These debts of gratitude, each one a separate debt, often represent a distance between people.

A truly intimate relationship is like what happened just now: I secretly told you I wanted to terminate my contract with the company and came to you, and you immediately stepped in to clear the obstacles for me... There's no obligation to remember or repay any favors.

This level of intimacy certainly wasn't built overnight. It can only be said that when Wang Weili terminated his contract last year, the entire fortune in the bank card that Naza gave him was indeed tempting.

Wang Weili was looking around, preparing to find an excuse to leave.

Yang Mi thought for a moment and said, "Tiny Times has successfully wrapped up filming. If all goes well, it will be released during the summer season. Can you come to the premiere?"

"I can't confirm the schedule..."

Why?

"I have a cocktail party coming up soon, and I need to finalize some collaborations. I'll be quite busy from now on, so I can only wish you great success with your movie in advance."

Wang Weili didn't go into details about the collaboration; he just wanted to end his conversation with Yang Mi as soon as possible.

Fortunately, at this moment, He Jiong and his fellow hosts finally arrived backstage and began to crowd around Wang Weili to try and get to know him.

As they showered him with flattery and compliments, Wang Weili simply responded politely and courteously.

He would remain silent whenever the topic turned to program invitations or cameo appearances in films and television dramas.

After talking with him, He Jiong felt that Wang Weili displayed a maturity and sophistication beyond his years, unlike those young stars who suddenly became popular and became arrogant and vain.

He Jiong gave Wang Weili a deep look and made a lasting impression on this newly popular celebrity.
