Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder is Very Leisurely

Chapter 56 Modern Entertainment Industry 02

Sister Lan stayed for a while, then left in a hurry, trying to find various connections in the industry to see if she could clear up the scandal for Yu Nuan.

I approached several people, but none of them were willing to get involved in this mess. People in the entertainment industry are just that pragmatic; I can truly understand that now.

But Yu Nuan, this young girl, had been with her ever since she entered the entertainment industry, and Sister Lan couldn't bear to see her being smeared. So she went back to the company and continued to argue with the public relations department, hoping to get some help.

"Sister Lan, it's not that we don't want to clarify through public relations, it's just that our company is insignificant and has little influence. Wu Yue and Sun Yu have a lot of fans, so even if we issue a statement, it won't make a difference."

"I know, Xiaocheng, but if this isn't clarified, Nuannuan will be ruined." Sister Lan's voice choked as she spoke. Since Wang Yunuan entered the entertainment industry, Sister Lan had been guiding her, watching her rise from a small extra to where she is today. It hadn't been easy for her. Now that she was finally starting to become popular, she was being unfairly smeared by others. Sister Lan really hated Sun Yu and Wu Yue.

"Damn it." Sister Lan couldn't take it anymore and cursed under her breath. Everyone present was shocked. You see, Sister Lan was known for her good temper and strong abilities in their company. They had never seen her so angry.

Lan returned to her office and looked at the resources she had; none of them were suitable for Yu Nuan. Suddenly, her eyes caught sight of a travel variety show she had previously rejected, "Enjoying the Countryside." Because her ex-boyfriend was the show's director, Lan had eliminated the project without hesitation.

Thinking of her ex-boyfriend, Sister Lan, makes me wish he would just disappear from the face of the earth.

The two were college classmates. They dated for three years during their four years of college, and broke the curse that graduation always leads to breakups. They remained as sweet as ever. When they first entered the entertainment industry and signed with a company, they were both unknown and barely made enough money to cover their expenses.

However, people in love feel everything is sweet. Later, Lan's career took off, and one of her actresses got a chance to rise to fame, becoming a household name across the country. Her ex-boyfriend, seeing that his girlfriend was earning more money than him, became resentful.

The conflicts between the two were increasing. At the time, Lan was busy traveling around with artists for work. She always thought that she would have a good talk with her boyfriend after she finished her busy period. Lan did not look down on her boyfriend because of her career success, because she knew that her boyfriend was a very talented person and that one day he would also become a famous director.

However, what Lan Jie didn't expect was that while her thoughts were correct, people's hearts are fickle. Before she could even rejoice at her boyfriend's success, she witnessed his betrayal. Faced with a deteriorating relationship, Lan Jie didn't hesitate and broke up with him. Later, due to some other matters, Lan Jie left her previous company and subsequently joined her current small company.

Stopping those unhappy memories, Sister Lan took a deep breath, picked up her phone, and dialed that annoying guy.

"Beep beep beep..."

"Hello, it's me." As soon as the call was answered, Sister Lan spoke first, afraid that the other end would ask who it was, which would be extremely embarrassing.

"Lanlan, is that really you? I'm so happy you called me." Even through the phone, he could feel the other person's excitement, but Lanlan remained unmoved. "Wait, something's wrong, isn't it? Otherwise, you wouldn't be calling me." Her ex-boyfriend, Li Ran, had also calmed down. He knew his girlfriend, Wang Lanlan, wanted nothing more than to sever all ties with him, so why would she contact him?

"Do you have a variety show running right now? I'd like you to help me arrange for someone to join it."

"Whether it's the show 'Enjoying the Countryside' or not, no problem." Li Ran readily agreed. Upon hearing this, the assistant next to him hurriedly whispered, "Director Li, we've already filled our quota for the show, and Sister Lan is currently embroiled in scandals, so it might not be appropriate for her to appear on our show."

The assistant was probably saying this to Sister Lan as well, since Sister Lan heard it clearly on the phone: "If you feel uncomfortable, then forget it."

"No problem, just wait, I'll send you the contract in a bit." Li Ran quickly finished speaking and hung up the phone. Then she looked at her assistant, "Xiao Wang, what's going on? Didn't I say I'd reserve a guest spot for Lanlan?"

Not long after breaking up with Sister Lan, Li Ran regretted it and wanted to get back together. However, Sister Lan wouldn't give him any chance, making it clear that she wouldn't accept dirty trash. But people are just like that; no matter how harshly she spoke, Li Ran didn't give up. He would occasionally use his status as a well-known director to send resources to Sister Lan. Sister Lan had ignored him before, but if Yu Nuan hadn't really been unable to make a comeback this time, Sister Lan wouldn't have had to lower herself to ask her ex-boyfriend for resources.

"Director Li, Mr. Wu called a couple of days ago, specifically asking Sun Yu to join the show. Mr. Wu is an investor in our program, so we can't refuse his request."

"It's okay to add one more person to the show." Li Ran didn't want to offend the investors, nor did he want to disappoint Sister Lan. So, they invited one more guest, which wouldn't have much impact on the show.

"But Director Li, that artist that Sister Lan manages is embroiled in scandals right now. People are terminating their contracts with her as quickly as possible. Wouldn't inviting her to our show have a negative impact?"

Li Ran scoffed upon hearing this, saying, "Which celebrity doesn't have some scandal these days? Just take what you see online with a grain of salt; how much of it is true?"

"Alright then! I'll go prepare the contract and send it to Sister Lan." Since the director already knew the reason and agreed, it would be a bit presumptuous to try to persuade him further, so the assistant could only go and prepare the signing details.

After his assistant left, Li Ran searched for news online. After learning more, he muttered to himself, "No wonder Lanlan called me; she really couldn't find a way out of this predicament." Li Ran looked at the other three people in the news; they seemed familiar. After searching for a while, he discovered that the program had gathered all four of them—it was going to be interesting. Li Ran smiled and texted the program's cast list to Sister Lan, since she had blocked him on WeChat and refused to accept his friend requests.

After opening the message and seeing the names on the list, Sister Lan was immediately annoyed. These people were really persistent! Sister Lan really wanted to prevent Yu Nuan from participating in the show because of these three people, but after thinking it over, she realized that Yu Nuan couldn't get any other opportunities at the moment.

In the afternoon, Li Ran's assistant, Xiao Wang, brought the contract to Sister Lan. Sister Lan glanced at it and, finding no problems, took it to Yu Nuan's house. Sister Lan always consults Yu Nuan before signing any contracts. Yu Nuan is truly fortunate to have an agent like Sister Lan. If it weren't for this innocent entanglement, Yu Nuan would definitely have had a much more stable and successful career in the entertainment industry.
