Chapter 51: Male Lead Wen Qingyan
Chapter 51
"Director Xu! Jing Zejun's agent said they've accepted the invitation, and Jing Zejun's two CEO brothers will be joining too!"
The director in front of him was equally ecstatic. Heaven knows how excited he was when he received the response!
He quickly pulled out his phone, his hand trembling slightly with excitement as he dialed the number.
Director Xu tried to keep his voice as calm as possible, though his eyes were brimming with excitement, "Hello? Mr. Li, this is Xu Yi. Could you please inform Best Actor Wen that Miss Jing has confirmed her participation in this variety show recording? What's Best Actor Wen's stance on this?"
A few minutes later, the director hung up the phone, basking in this tremendous surprise. The other side said they would respond as soon as possible after consulting with Wen Qingyan!
The director had previously contacted Wen Qingyan, and although he knew this actor usually doesn't accept variety shows, he still wanted to give it a try.
What if?
Sure enough, they immediately refused, but since he had anticipated this, he wasn't too disappointed.
However, not long after, Wen Qingyan's agent contacted him again, asking about the guest invitation situation, and said that Wen Qingyan would respond to his previous invitation after the final guest list was confirmed.
If it were anyone else, this would indeed be arrogant, especially considering he was a renowned director in the variety show circle.
But this was Wen Qingyan, who had been winning major awards since his teens. Even a glimmer of hope was exciting for the director!
Now it seems the chances are even greater!
No variety show could possibly invite Hengjing's CEO, Startrack's CEO, and Best Actor Wen simultaneously, but he might be able to pull it off!
This variety show will definitely be a hit!
On the other side, the person called 'Mr. Li' turned and knocked on the door.
The room door opened, and Wen Qingyan stood at the doorway, still holding a script in his hand.
"Great Actor Wen, the director of that family variety show called earlier. Jing Zejun has confirmed her participation in the show."
"Then reply to the director that I'll participate," Wen Qingyan said without hesitation, leaving his agent beside him quite speechless.
He even felt that Wen Qingyan didn't know what kind of variety show this was, only hearing that Jing Zejun would be participating.
From Wen Qingyan's youth, he had been by this person's side, from his first hit drama, being signed by 'Startrack', to becoming the Best Actor. He had always been Wen Qingyan's agent.
So he understood all too well why Wen Qingyan would have such an attitude.
The agent crossed his arms and leaned against the door frame.
"I say, Best Actor Wen, are you sure you understand the theme of this variety show? This is a family variety show, so when Miss Jing participates, she won't be alone. She'll be bringing her family along. Aren't you afraid your feelings will be discovered?"
Wen Qingyan's lips curved slightly upward, carrying a faint smile, as gentle as a spring breeze.
If he cared about Jing Zejun's family or netizens finding out, he wouldn't participate in this variety show, "If I don't get close to her, will she even remember who I am?"
In the entertainment industry, even if people live and eat together for several months, once work is over, relationships often cool down quickly.
Moreover, after "Jun Lin", it had been difficult for Wen Qingyan to find opportunities to collaborate with Jing Zejun.
They hadn't seen each other for a long time.
The agent rolled his eyes, not wanting to see his worthless expression.
"So, are you planning to bring your uncle and aunt to participate in the show?"
Wen Qingyan was an only child, and apart from his uncle and aunt, he really didn't know who else this person planned to bring to this family variety show.
Wen Qingyan shook his head, putting down the script in his hand, "No, I'm bringing my cousin." His parents weren't comfortable in front of cameras, and besides, if they met Jing Zejun, his parents would be the first to notice his feelings.
The cousin Wen Qingyan mentioned was his uncle's child, who had basically grown up following him around. He felt more at ease bringing this kid along.
Regarding Wen Qingyan's feelings, the agent had known for quite some time and had even prepared a PR plan for when the relationship went public.
Wen Qingyan's career path was different from others in the entertainment industry. He had become the Best Actor at a young age and had maintained that status for many years.
Although in terms of age, Wen Qingyan was still considered relatively young in the entertainment circle, most of those at his level were twenty or thirty years older than him.
No scandals, no gossip, purely focused on acting... Wen Qingyan had become a very different kind of star in the entertainment industry.
The agent's PR plan didn't require much effort. Wen Qingyan had always focused on his acting career, unlike idol stars, and didn't need many restrictions on his love life.
As for the fans, it could only be said that because Wen Qingyan had dragged it out for so long, now his big fans vaguely knew that their idol might have someone in his heart.
However, until now, this plan had never been activated...
After "Jun Lin" ended, Wen Qingyan said the timing wasn't right, as it would make Jing Zejun think he was too deeply immersed in his role.
When the CP fans exploded, he again said the timing wasn't right, as the fans' attention was too high, which also wasn't a good time.
He thought Wen Qingyan would always be like this, silently guarding as a knight behind the scenes.
Now that she had become a wealthy heiress, the threshold for potential suitors had risen significantly. Did he now think the timing was right?
Wen Qingyan had always worried about causing trouble for Jing Zejun. The agent was right; he had always been overly cautious, but now he didn't need to worry. She had the Jing family behind her, with enough capital to protect her...
The agent asked curiously, "Aren't you afraid her parents won't approve of you?"
That's the Jing family we're talking about, ranking high even on the global rich list. Not to mention Hengjing Group's reputation, even 'Startrack' under Jing Zeqian's leadership firmly held a top position in the entertainment industry.
Now Wen Qingyan was coveting their precious daughter. How could it be that easy?
Wen Qingyan's brows revealed composure, not worried about the situation the agent described.
Let's not mention that Jing Zejun's second brother was his boss. He understood Jing Zeqian's character well, otherwise he wouldn't have stayed with 'Startrack' for so many years.
From Jing Zeqian's character, it was likely that the Jing family wouldn't be the type to judge people based on wealth or status.
What he needed to consider most was Jing Zejun's attitude. No matter whose daughter she was, or which family's heiress, to Wen Qingyan, she was just Jing Zejun, the person he knew, nothing more.
The agent pursed his lips. This guy was putting on that face again, always making him cringe, "Everyone else is going for a family variety show, only you, old man, are going for a dating show."
Now that variety show director is really going to be over the moon...
Old man?
Wen Qingyan casually lifted his eyelids, glancing at the agent, "Just a reminder, I was recently nominated for a youth achievement award."
The agent scoffed dismissively. He hadn't seen him care about age before, but when it came to Jing Zejun, he wished he could make himself a few years younger.
