It was Producer Niu.
Luo Lin didnât take it and handed the phone to Brother Liang.
âHello, Producer Niu. Itâs Luo Linâs manager. Heâs busy with work. If you have anything to say, you can tell me first. Iâll pass it on.â
âDidnât we say that the meet-and-greet would be held a few more times? Can Luo Lin spare some time for us?â
âIâm sorry, Producer Niu. We really canât spare any time on our end. Luo Lin really canât participate in the meet-and-greets. However, he also said that if you want to continue with the plan, heâll definitely record a video and send it to you on time. Heâll definitely support you.â
In the end, Luo Lin would not go to the event location.
After getting his makeup removed, Luo Lin went to the bathroom. Brother Liang was still explaining to Producer Niu. His tone was gentle and humble, but he refused to relent. âWe really donât have time. Iâm really sorry.â
Producer Niuâs mouth was dry from all the talking, and she was about to explode. Anyway, Brother Liang insisted on one principle. Even though Luo Lin didnât have time to attend, he could record the video.
âBrother Liang, Luo Lin is really famous now. Everyone in this circle meets frequentlyâ¦â
âThatâs right, Producer Niu. Thatâs why Luo Lin said that he would definitely record a video.â
Producer Niu was furious and hung up.
Brother Liang couldnât help but say, âWhy didnât you have such an attitude when you were busy trampling on us? Do you really think weâre easy to bully? Canât you take a look in the mirror? If you hadnât been so ruthless, would Luo Lin have rejected you?â
After taking a shower, Luo Lin took his phone back and said, âOkay, thatâs it. In the future, whenever he calls, say that Iâm not free.â
âOkay!â Brother Liang was relieved, but after saying that, he couldnât help but worry. âLuo Lin, these people still have some power. If we offend all of them nowâ¦â
âI have a bottom line,â Luo Lin said.
Brother Liang was no longer worried. As long as the person in question could stand firm, what was there to be afraid of?
Producer Niu couldnât invite Luo Lin, but he still planned to do two more meet-and-greets for Tianhe Home.
She discussed it with Zhang Zhewen.
patted his chest and promised.
âOkay, Iâll plan again and see what to do.â
âAre you sure Luo Lin isnât coming?â Zhang Zhewen asked.
âThatâs right. Heâs famous now. Heâs so amazing. He didnât even pick up my call and got Brother Liang to brush me off. Hehe, doesnât he know that things are changing?â
âHeâs always been like this. Look, heâs turned against you. Iâve long seen through him. Donât worry, Iâll do my best to support you during the meet- and-greets.â
âAlright.â
Zhang Zhewen asked Xiao Yu to free up his schedule. âThese two meet-and-greets are an excellent opportunity. We must seize them and fight to gain more fans.â
âI know. Iâll definitely arrange it for you according to high standards. Even without Luo Lin, so what? I donât believe the event wonât go smoothly!â
Zhang Zhewen waited for the farewell meet-and-greets. Many of his fans would attend. Since Luo Lin wasnât participating, everyone present would naturally be his fans.
However, Producer Niu did not send any news for a long time.
Zhang Zhewen had no choice but to call her to ask about the situation.
âSigh, Zhewen we might not be able to do it.â Producer Niu had a headache.
âWhy not?â Zhang Zhewen was still waiting for his chance to shine alone.
âThere are two main supporting actors who also have work to do and canât participate. Letâs not talk about that. Weâve done a market survey. Those who are willing to come to the event location arenât enough.â
âYou canât even gather 50,000 people?â
Zhang Zhewen was surprised.
The last farewell meet-and-greet was held in a venue that could fit 50,000 people. At that time, the tickets were all snatched up in more than ten seconds.
There were many people who did not manage to buy tickets. At that time, the scalped tickets were sold for 7,000 to 8,000 for one, which was five to six times higher than the original price.
Producer Niu looked at the investigation report in her hand. âYes, the number of people who are interested in coming isâ¦â
She didnât say the number, but it was too different from what she had expected.
It was expensive to hold a meet-and-greet. They had to rent a venue and arrange security. There were various other expenses too.
They needed enough people to buy tickets to cover the cost. They also needed many sponsors to foot the bill in order to make money.
However, the market changed after it was made clear that Luo Lin would not be participating. Everyoneâs desire to buy tickets decreased by 70%.
The sponsors also wanted to leave.
Producer Niu did not want to work hard for nothing.
Zhang Zhewen said, âSister Niu, can we host a smaller one?â
He really yearned for a stage to show off.
Producer Niu shook her head. âYou donât understand. There arenât enough sponsors now. Holding a meet-and-greet is a big cost. Without guaranteed income, itâs too risky. This isnât the way to do projects.â Zhang Zhewen did not expect such an outcome.
Producer Niu did not expect this either.
They all thought that with the enthusiasm of the audience, even without Luo Lin, the fans would be willing to pay for the meet-and-greet.
Even if there were fewer people, it would not be too bad.
Even if Luo Lin was not around, the sponsors would not ignore Zhang Zhewen.
However⦠reality was such a slap in the face.
After Producer Niu knew what the problem was, she humbly called Luo Lin and begged him.
But Luo Lin still didnât take up the offer.
Brother Liangâs tone was still humble. âIâm really sorry, Producer Niu. Luo Lin is too busy to ask for leave. Iâm sorry.â
After Producer Niu hung up the phone, she knew why Luo Lin was so heartless. Before this, as long as they didnât go overboard, Luo Lin wouldnât fall out with them on the surface.
The last straw was the Weibo post that she reposted.
It was a public denial of Luo Linâs acting skills, and it was his last tolerance for her.
Producer Niu knew that the situation was irreversible.
Director Gao didnât know about this yet. He was still thinking of using Luo Lin to help him and Zhang Zhewen attract investors.
He didnât think that it was a big deal for him to repost the Weibo post back then. He really thought that Zhang Zhewen was the one who taught Luo Lin how to act. Without Zhang Zhewen, how could Luo Lin have portrayed Baili Tang so well?
Without Baili Tang, how could Luo Lin be where he was today?
He also made a call, wanting to talk to Luo Lin about attracting investors.
It was Brother Liang who answered the phone.
âDirector Gao, Luo Lin is filming. Yes, yes, yes. Heâs been filming for many nights in a row. Heâs been working hard all throughout the day..â
