Chapter 704 Daily Life 49
Lu Wanxing's tone when relaying the story was undeniably mournful.
Lu Wantang looked over with a half-smile.
"So Ji Fengyi can say things like that?"
"It seems he still doesn't have enough work."
"Joining only one film crew might not be enough?"
These light, casual words abruptly cut off everything Lu Wanxing was about to say.
He said dryly, "We were just joking, sis, you're not angry, are you?"
Lu Wantang: "I'm not angry, I'm just stating the facts."
Looking at her sister's expressionless face, Lu Wanxing breathed a slight sigh of relief, then tentatively asked, "Really?"
"of course it's true."
Lu Wantang's tone was unreadable: "But you guys are so free, you really don't have enough work. Why don't you release two more new albums this year—"
"Don't!"
Lu Wanxing spoke up immediately.
I'm very worried that the other person will finish speaking before a job opportunity comes knocking on my door.
"I already have work scheduled for the second half of the year. If I were to add two more albums, I definitely wouldn't be able to handle it!"
Before Lu Wantang could say anything, Lu Wanxing was already about to raise the white flag and surrender:
"And I still have to go to school... Sis, haven't you always said that a diploma is important? If I keep missing classes, I won't be able to graduate!"
Lu Wanxing became more and more serious as she spoke: "Well... I'll never joke around with Yi-ge and the others again. If you really want to give people more work, why not give it to Yi-ge and the others?"
The last few words were enough to make Lu Wantang burst out laughing.
Lu Wanxing: "..."
He really thought his sister was angry!
Lu Wantang had already broken character, no longer maintaining a stern face and feigning seriousness, but instead expressing her regret with a smile:
"I didn't manage to record what you said earlier. If Ji Fengyi and the others knew how enthusiastically you were getting them jobs, I wonder if they'd be incredibly grateful..."
Lu Wanxing's lips twitched: "Brother Yi and the others are going to be traveling back and forth between four continents right now, Sister, you should give up on that idea!"
Otherwise, Tangxing Entertainment will become like other entertainment companies, turning into a black-hearted factory that exploits its artists!
"Four continents? They have a trip to the Western Continent?" Lu Wantang asked curiously.
After the company had more artists, she rarely inquired about their schedules or appearances anymore.
Those are mostly handled by their respective agents.
Even Chang Yun might not be entirely clear about it.
Thinking of this, Lu Wantang mentally chanted "666".
The system panel appeared quietly, automatically displaying the relevant records of the signed artists.
[Number of signed artists: 21/21]
[Number of signed artists: 28/28]
……
[Number of signed artists: 55/55]
[Next stage reward: 55/65 signed artists]
There are so many celebrities all of a sudden.
Lu Wantang was slightly surprised after turning off the system notifications. She decided to take stock of the accumulated rewards after watching tonight's episode.
Lu Wanxing didn't notice that her older sister had been lost in thought for a few seconds, still counting the recent work of Fang Shuyao, Ji Fengyi, He Zhi and the others.
The company does have more and more artists, but Lu Wanxing is still more familiar with a few 'veterans'.
No matter how busy they were with work, they never lost contact with each other.
"...Sister Shuyao and the others are planning to go to Xizhou to film a music video. Brother Yi is going there to film a movie, and I heard that Sister Sang Ning is going with him..."
Lu Wantang asked in surprise, "Have they all gotten together?"
"They should be different places on the same continent."
Lu Wanxing offered an explanation, then immediately retorted, "Sister, you don't know how popular traveling to Xizhou is lately, do you?"
Lu Wantang was genuinely unaware of this.
She had only recently returned from the Western Continent, and unless absolutely necessary, she generally skipped over any news related to it.
—In fact, since the four continents have been connected, the distinctly different geography and culture of the Western Continent have appeared on the trending search list every day, and related topics are almost a yearly subscription to the trending search list.
Lu Wanxing assumed she was focused on work and hadn't paid attention to these things, so she patiently explained:
"The number of tourists traveling to and from the West is much higher than when the North and South were 'opened up' before. According to the media, it has increased several times over."
"Right now, everyone's curious about Xizhou. I guess going there to film a music video or a movie is all about riding the wave of popularity... But Yi-ge and the others said it's probably just the staff wanting a paid trip..."
When she said the last four words, Lu Wanxing's voice became softer.
He suddenly remembered that the person sitting in front of him was not only his older sister, but also his company boss.
Is it really appropriate to casually tell your boss about a company-funded trip?
Lu Wantang waved her hand and said, "Since they were able to apply successfully, it means that the fees and projects have been approved."
Whether it's a publicly funded trip or someone else paying for it themselves is irrelevant.
After all, what working person doesn't slack off sometimes?
Of course, that's the point, but if the final product isn't satisfactory, you can't blame the company for turning its back on you.
Lu Wanxing hummed in agreement. "Anyway, they're all traveling back and forth between several continents right now, they seem pretty busy."
He paused for a moment, then added, "But they all say that Chen Yubai is the busiest."
Lu Wantang glanced sideways, signaling her younger brother to continue.
"Because you've given Chen Yubai a lot of new songs, he has to practice and record them as soon as possible, and he's also busy participating in shows... Sis, is he basically living in the recording studio?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Wantang actually began to reflect on herself.
Did she really give Chen Yu an endless amount of work?
However, he only reflected on it for a second or two.
Then a famous quote came out:
"If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight."
Lu Wanxing paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's true."
"Sister Sang Ning said something similar. I think most of the singers in the company are quite envious of him."
Lu Wantang retorted, "You're envious too?"
Lu Wanxing almost blurted out the word "envy," but then she thought about how her older sister might react.
—Let him enjoy the same treatment as Chen Yubai.
He shook his head, feigning modesty.
"I think it's better for me to proceed cautiously as before... Chen Yubai's situation is different from mine."
Chen Yubai was fortunate to have the right timing, location, and people. He desperately needed to make a bigger name for himself in Xizhou. Otherwise, there would have been no need for him to take on the "Voice of Xizhou" program and embark on a "death" journey.
Lu Wantang clicked her tongue, seemingly with regret and disappointment:
"If you feel envious, perhaps after we connect with Zhongzhou, you can experience it for yourself..."
"No, thank you." Lu Wanxing conceded. "So, Chen Yubai really did live in the recording studio, just like he told the company?"
"I didn't stay there permanently."
Only occasionally.
"And it's not just the recording studio; he also needs to learn some dance."
So they might also stay in the dance studio.
Lu Wanxing, who understood the implied meaning, was speechless.
Fortunately, he didn't impulsively express his envy.
