The air pressure in the room seemed to drop to a freezing point.

The assistant felt that the air pressure on Emperor Fu's body was very heavy, as if it could crush people to death. On weekdays, Emperor Fu was always smiling, but he was not angry, which made people very careful, but what he didn't expect was that, Fu Jinxiao, who was angry, was even more terrifying.

Just when the assistant was carefully thinking about what to say, Fu Jinxiao put down the tablet and opened his lips: "Call Meican."

It was the manager.

In general, the itinerary of the film emperor Fu does not need to be followed by a manager in person. After so many years in the circle, Film emperor Fu had a very strong business ability. Basically, the itinerary can be completed in an orderly manner with the assistant without any accident, so the film emperor Fu rarely contacted his manager, or he didn't contact him at all.

As soon as Wang Meican answered the phone, she immediately preempted: "Hello, Jin Xiao, I saw that on Weibo."

Professional managers always have excellent acuity and observation skills, and they will be aware of the wind direction and possible risks related to the artist in advance.

"This program team was really full of bastards. People in the industry could at a glance see that they were intentionally targeting people." Wang Meican couldn't stand it any longer: "Moreover, the script they edited this time deliberately created contradictions, and they were very smart to target the more popular contestant. It's really arrogant, but from the current form, it is obvious that Jian Anran, must have the capital to support, and his background may be very powerful and strong. "

Fu Jinxiao hooked his lips and sneered: "Strong, how strong?"

Wang Meican finally heard the chill in Fu Jinxiao's words.

"So strong that they dared to use me as bait?" Fu Jinxiao's words were full of irony: "Then I really want to see how strong they are."

Wang Meican thought he was disgusted with this kind of behavior, and quickly discouraged him and said: "Don't be angry, although the malicious editing this time does exist, the show team dare not use these methods on you."

Fu Jinxiao: "Nonsense, of course I know."

Wang Meican was taken aback: "Then you, what are you angry about?"

"See the trending topic." Fu Jinxiao pointed to her concisely: "In that part of the competition, the person I praised was Jian Xingsui."

Fu Jinxiao's hand was on the chair, and he tapped lightly, with a grim face: "Whether he has offended anyone, I can't control it and I'm too lazy to care about it."

"but......"

The way he extended his voice almost sent his manager to hell's door.

She heard Fu Jinxiao's cold voice saying: "In recent years, the atmosphere of domestic entertainment has been getting worse and worse. Malicious control of votes, and capital exploitation, I don't take offense at these things, and I don't bother to care about it either. But they dared to use my fans and popularity to target a contestant. Why??? I have been so good-tempered over the years that they have become so courageous now? "

After some remarks, the film emperor Fu's usual hypocritical face was finally torn off, but what really remained was a domineering man who was full of arrogance and ruffianism.

Perhaps the impression he gave to everyone in the past was that he treated people and did things very elegantly and decently, and his popularity was very good. But that was only because with a good reputation and a kind face, it was convenient to do some things. This doesn't mean that Fu Jinxiao is really easy to bully. If they had cared enough, they would have found that anyone who offended him in the early years did not have a good end today.

Even though they have been together for many years, Wang Meican's heart trembled at this moment.

"Don't be angry, you are angry about a small talent show and a small artist who hasn't debuted yet. Are they worthy?" She knew that this matter might be difficult to do, so she immediately said: "You let go of this, I will immediately contact the program team to deal with it."

Fu Jinxiao's tilted his head dangerously, and said, "En, you handle it properly, and call me back later."

''Remember, I said PROPERLY.''

Wang Meican hurriedly said, "Okay, please give the phone to the assistant, and I'll have a word with her."

She has to talk to the assistant and must be optimistic about this ancestor. In the past few years, Fu Jinxiao's identity has risen, and the entertainment industry has never seen anyone who could compete with him. Very few people dared to offend him. So nothing had happened till now. Not to mention this very daring show crew, even she had forgotten the real temper of this ancestor. So Wang Meican was really afraid that Fu Jinxiao will suddenly launch an attack to the director team on a whim because he had been holding his temper back for a few years.

The assistant responded quickly.

However, when she came back, she saw that the film emperor Fu who had just stopped for a while, was looking at the tablet again.

Fu Jinxiao was swiping the recent hot searches. This time, it really seemed that various marketing accounts of the program team were organized to target Jian Xingsui. The next moment, he even saw it on the official Weibo, where some netizens said:

"Brother Fu likes Ran Ran very much, which shows that the character of this child must be really good."

"I'm also a fan of Brother Fu, brother's vision will not be wrong, I want to vote for An Ran."

"The two of them actually look pretty good."

Then, someone actually released some maliciously put together animations from these episodes. Among them, there was actually an animation of An Ran holding a thermos bucket and asking him if he wanted to eat. The film emperor Fu was born with a pair of passionate peach blossom eyes. Everyone seems to have their own emotions, and this GIF has been specially added with pink bubbles, which naturally adds a lot of ambiguous atmosphere.

The following many brainless netizens started again:

"Fairy Love~"

"Film emperor really likes An Ran."

"Jian Xingsui is really annoying, and I don't know on what basis to compare him with Ran Ran."

What's even more deadly was that under this cp comment, there was actually a comment that was liked by the Weibo account of an official staff of the program team, which directly led to this comment being seen by more people and misled even more people.

Like?

Fu Jinxiao's mouth evoked a sneer, "Dear program team, I seem to have 'liked' your whole ancestors."

...

The assistant who answered the manager's call just came back and was about to speak when she saw Fu Jinxiao who was sitting on the sofa throwing the tablet aside and stood up. The hostility in his body had not yet retreated, and the man's stature was tall, which made her feel oppressive.

The assistant asked tremblingly, "Brother, where are you going?"

Fu Jinxiao took the coat on the sofa, lifted his eyelids to look at her. His dark eyes were fucking dark. He turned around without looking back, and left a sentence: "Sports Center."

That's where the show was being filmed.

Poor Wang Meican wanted to say a few words.......but never mind. She could only tell the assistant to keep watch and don't let this grandfather go to the scene. This unreliable employer of hers was really too unreliable.

SIGH!!!

...

At night,

The twilight was deep, and someone came in through the main entrance of the gymnasium, as if there was still a chill of night.

Fu Jinxiao walked in. He passed through the second floor first, where he happened to pass the contestant's cafeteria. At this moment, all the contestants were just having their meals. Some of the contestants who had finished their meals were facing the outside in twos and threes. Uninterested, the film emperor Fu, who wanted to turn a corner, saw Jian Xingsui who just finished eating.

The eyes met, and there was silence.

Fu Jinxiao's originally repressed emotions suddenly didn't know why emerged when he saw the little bald head's naive face. A small smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he felt much more relaxed. He waved to him: "Come here."

Jian Xingsui was still a little dazed at first, not sure if he was calling himself.

Fu Jinxiao remained patient. He bent his hands again and called the other out like a puppy, but Jian Xingsui really ran over.

"Brother Fu." Jian Xingsui was panting, looking up at Fu Jinxiao with bright eyes as if they were shining: "Why are you here?"

Fu Jinxiao raised his eyebrows: "I can't come?"

Jian Xingsui shook his head: "But this is not the time for your recording. They all said that you had an announcement, so you went to rush the announcement."

Fu Jinxiao said "Oh?", half-jokingly: "You are unexpectedly quite well-informed..... do you usually inquire so much about me?"

"No!" Jian Xingsui subconsciously wanted to refute, but it seemed that the movie emperor was right in saying so. He lowered his head a little embarrassedly, his earlobes dyed red involuntarily, and he tried to explain in a low voice, "I just heard someone say that when they were chatting before."

Fu Jinxiao was in a better mood when he saw the cute appearance of his simple explanation.

The assistant who hurriedly followed behind originally came to persuade him not to fight, but when he came running his ass out, he saw the film emperor Fu lowering his head and talking to a certain contestant, with a smile on his lips. He was looking down at the person with a very gentle gaze. 

Like Bruhhhhhh....

Even this dangerous Fu could see someone with this kind of gaze........

Mom ! I want to resign.

Different from those fake and distant polite eyes, it is the kind of tenderness that seemed to overflow with water. This was the look that the assistant had not seen even once.

However, then the assistant heard Fu Jinxiao speak: "You are training here, do you know what is going on with the edited version that was released today?"

Jian Xingsui, who was talking to him, paused, and finally nodded lightly: "We don't have mobile phones, but some people do. They somehow told me something."

Fu Jinxiao raised his eyebrows, a little surprised: "Aren't you sad?"

The child Jian Xingsui usually looks silly, but what Fu Jinxiao didn't expect was that the child could look so calm before such a huge grievance. 

Jian Xingsui said honestly, "It's okay."

Fu Jinxiao looked down at him: "About that part where I praised you, it being edited..."

Jian Xingsui obviously also knew about this. The praise he received was edited as if the one receiving it was someone else. He should have been very angry, but he pondered for a while, then raised his head and smiled gently: "Well, I know, I'm actually quite fortunate."

Fu Jinxiao frowned, displeased: "Fortunate?"

"Yes." Jian Xingsui's voice was soft: "Some of the things edited by the program group previously were enough to make many people hate me. If at this time, Brother Fu would have praised me, maybe they would have been angry with you. "

Jian Xingsui looked at his clear and clean eyes. At this time, he swallowed all his grievances, and said with some relief, "Fortunately, you were not involved."

"..."

There was a moment of silence in the air.

Fu Jinxiao's dark eyes looked at Jian Xingsui. There seemed to be turbulent waves that made people dare not look at him directly.

Then, he sneered.

He has always been a smiling person in front of Jian Xingsui. At this moment, the dark side of the iceberg seemed to be revealed. Fu Jinxiao reached out and squeezed Jian Xingsui's face with a little force.

Jian Xingsui immediately gave a "uh" and took a step back to escape the ravages. He whispered, "It hurts."

Fu Jinxiao raised his eyebrows: "You still know the pain, I thought you were heartless."

Heartless little thing.

He has been angry with insignificant people for this little heartless thing for half a day, and this........... this guy right now was talking nonsense here.

Jian Xingsui looked up at him, with a little mist in his eyes. It was unknown if it was because of being pinched, or because of what the show team had done, he finally felt wronged and didn't speak.

Fu Jinxiao lowered his body, and his tone turned much softer unconsciously: "It really hurts? I obviously didn't use much strength."

Jian Xingsui shook his head: "No, it doesn't hurt."

It would have been fine if this little thing took the opportunity to show his emotions but he was still so obedient. Fu Jinxiao looked at the person in front of him and sighed again in his heart. He said, "Little boy, you are so arrogant. That was the praise I gave you. So what's the matter with you just letting it go to others??? So you don't take me seriously? "

Jian Xingsui was shocked. He didn't expect to be so misunderstood, so he quickly said, "No, Brother Fu, that's not what I meant."

But Fu Jinxiao waved his hand and said, "It's alright, I understand, I forgive you for not having the guts. Isn't your dormitory going to gather on time to practice dancing? Go back quickly."

Jian Xingsui also thought of this, he hesitated for a while, but still stretched out his hand: "Well, then I'll go."

Fu Jinxiao: "Yeah."

He stood there and watched Jian Xingsui leave with small footsteps. Over the years, as his status increased, he was almost always watched by others. He rarely watched other people's backs, but this time, he stood in the corridor and watched Jian Xingsui's departure. He obviously was only in his 20s, but for some reason, his back looked so lonely.

The assistant whispered, "Brother..."

Fu Jinxiao opened his lips: "What do you think of him?"

"Me." The little assistant followed his gaze, smiled softly, and said, "I think this child, at first glance, doesn't seem to be easy to get along with, but he actually feels pretty good at the bottom of his heart. Well, he's very well-behaved, no wonder you praised him."

Fu Jinxiao nodded lightly: "Yeah."

At that time, he hadn't praised him on a whim, on the contrary, he had done it on purpose.

He didn't know why, this child always had a strong sense of inferiority and cowardice. No matter how hard he tried to hide it, Fu Jinxiao was still sensitive to it. He didn't know what Jian Xingsui had experienced, but he began to pay more attention to this child unconsciously and tried to give encouragement at the right time.

Also, he wanted to get the attention of that child.

That's quite embarrassing but.....

So what?

That's right, he is selfish. Film emperor Fu has been in the entertainment industry for many years, with a huge number of fans. Of course, he understands that his favorable impression of a contestant on the show will give his fans a hint of what kind of heart he has for that contestant. It would have helped Jian Xingsui with his ranking as well.

Of course, the program team also recognized this, so they took this key scene to An Ran, which seemed to be just malicious editing, but in fact it cut off many resources that should have been originally given to Jian Xingsui. This was also the reason why Fu Jinxiao was angry. He gave Jian Xingsui an opportunity, but it became a stepping stone for others.

...

"Mr. Fu, why are you here so late?"

A somewhat crisp and weak voice suddenly sounded behind him. Fu Jinxiao turned around and saw An Ran.

An Ran should have just returned from the cafeteria. He was wearing a white training suit and looked like a youthful young boy. He was clean and beautiful at this age. There was a reason for him being one of the most popular contestants. It has to be said that An Ran's appearance was very dominant. As the assistant said, someone looks easy to get along with at first glance, while someone looks hard to get along with at a glance.

Nobody knew this is what a legendary ''halo'' was. That was the difference between the protagonist's ''halo'' and a mere cannon fodder's ''halo''.

(T/N: Oh boy, that's why I am so unliked...)

Fu Jinxiao said in a low voice, "Come and ask the program crew for something."

"About what?" An Ran asked subconsciously, then he covered his lips and said apologetically, "I'm sorry brother, I didn't want to inquire about your privacy."

"Did you come... because of things about Weibo today?" Obviously, An Ran was the type of person in this group who had a mobile phone, and he was also a very smart type who could stand in front of the Film Emperor Fu with a ''weak'' face. He said weakly and anxiously: "I also watched a little bit. I don't know why the show team edited it so much that it doesn't seem to be good for others."

A sarcastic smile crossed Fu Jinxiao's eyes.

But An Ran thought he was approving, and only bit his lip before speaking softly: "I really didn't expect this to happen. In fact, I also wanted to talk to the director, but the program has already been edited, and it is not up to me to decide. Seeing Xing Sui's face today, he doesn't look very good, I feel guilty and worried to death. After a period of time, during live broadcast, I must find an opportunity to clarify for him in front of the audience. "

To simply listen, what a beautiful thing he just said.

Not only showed his kindness and beauty but also cleared his relationship.

Even Fu Jinxiao, who has been in the entertainment industry for many years, had to admire that An Ran's ability was still quite strong. If it were someone else, they might have really applauded his thoughtfulness, but it's a pity that he met himself.

The film emperor Fu hooked his lips and said slowly: "Is that so?"

An Ran nodded vigorously.

"Then I'll give you this chance." Fu Jinxiao said slowly, "How about you go and tell the director what you said again?"

An Ran's face changed instantly. He definitely hadn't expected Fu Jinxiao to say that, and he hesitated: "This....... mainly because the show has already been broadcast, I can't change it immediately if I talk about it now, Besides, I'm just a contestant..."

Fu Jinxiao sneered.

An Ran raised his head and met the man's good-looking phoenix eyes. And those eyes, which were usually careless, seemed to be drenched in coldness at this moment. An Ran was shocked when he saw it as if those careful eyes had already seen everything through him.

Fu Jinxiao stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Kidding, I'm going."

The assistant hurriedly followed. He looked at An Ran a few more times and followed up with his own actor.

After a while, the door of the director's team was kicked open. The director who was still on the phone inside turned around in shock and saw the man standing at the door. Leaning on the door, he seemed to have the usual faint smile on his face and was looking at himself. Even though Fu Jinxiao was smiling, the director felt inexplicably cold behind him, as if the king of hell was coming to claim his life.

"Director." Fu Jinxiao said slowly: "Good evening."

The director quickly put down the phone and stood up earnestly: "Mr. Fu, why are you here? You didn't say anything about coming here. I would have picked you up at your door."

"I don't dare." Fu Jinxiao pulled out a chair and sat down, his slender thighs overlapped, and his aura was strong: "How can I trouble the director to pick me up?"

The cold sweat broke down on the director's back from the fear of those sarcastic words. He hurriedly smiled: "No No Mr. Fu, how can it be a trouble to pick you up?"

"Really?" Fu Jinxiao lifted his eyelids to look at him: "Then the editing of this week's episode doesn't seem to have been edited by the director."

The director knew that this ancestor was not in a good mood, so he bit the bullet and said, "The editing of this episode is a bit problematic. We are thinking about improving it next time..."

"Don't do it next time. Just do it this time." Fu Jinxiao grinned, as if he was polite and reasonable, "I'm also not someone who is not easy to talk to, so take this issue off the shelves and replace it with a correct clip."

...

Didn't he just say he was easy to talk to? !

Myan...............

Everyone in the room was shocked. This Fu dude is almost acting like a bandit, right?

The director really had a hard time and said hesitantly, "Brother Fu, it's not that I don't want to, in fact, Jian Xingsui is a really good kid. We all know that he is a talented guy and works very hard, but this time, this time... ...Did you know that the biggest investor in our show is the Jian family. They have come to sign the contract long ago, and they even gave An Ran a fixed debut place. They even made their extra request a few days ago. "

Fu Jinxiao opened his lips: "What request?"

"They wanted to eliminate Jian Xingsui." The director was now willing to give up. Compared with offending the Jian family, offending Fu Jinxiao will be riskier. He had already heard about the actor's ability and the degree of craziness, so at this moment he could only tell the truth: "We were also in a dilemma, originally thinking that a contestant without a background should be secretly voted out or given fewer shots. It seemed to be very simple, but unexpectedly..."

The assistant director also came over and said, "What we didn't expect was that the young son of the Shen family went to hang with Jian Xingsui for some reason!"

The director was also worried: "You know the Shen family, the Shen family has already signed a contract for us, how can we offend them as well. Shen Xingchen is definitely going to debut, in order to support him, it is necessary to give him more shots. Who would have known that the young master had a very good relationship with Jian Xingsui for some reason, and pulled him to show him on the camera."

As a result, everything was uncontrollable like a wild horse that had taken off the reins. Jian Xingsui's popularity was extremely high, and even reached a peak this week and became a popular contestant!

How can this man be eliminated when his existence now could make a difference?

The director team had no choice but to start with the edited version, and wanted to use this to see if they could operate a wave behind the scenes.

Unexpectedly, the problem of the Jian family was about to be solved, and now he has provoked a big Buddha again. The director was also suffering in his heart now, and his legs were a little weak now.

After Fu Jinxiao listened quietly, his slender fingers tapped on the armrest of the chair, and hooked his lips: "You are afraid of offending the Jian family?"

The director nodded slightly.

"Then you aren't afraid to offend me?" Fu Jinxiao raised his eyebrows, his face was warm, but what he said made everyone's heart rise: "Is that so?"

The director hurriedly said, "Mr. Fu, I'm really sorry, I'll apologize to you for this. Do you think this is the case? Then let's release a separate version and release the full version of the episode, how about it?"

This is the biggest concession the show team has made.

Before, Fu Jinxiao might have agreed, but at this moment, he inexplicably thought of how the child in the corridor had endured his sadness and had said, "Fortunately, you are not involved."

He also seemed to have a faint understanding that maybe Jian Xingsui was not really passive about the show from the beginning, but had long expected that he would not go far? Therefore, even being edited maliciously, he could face it calmly, as if he knew his ending for a long time.

...

He didn't know why, thinking of this, Fu Jinxiao felt bad in his heart.

If he was not happy, others should not be happy.

So Fu Jinxiao opened his lips lightly under the eager eyes of the director team: "No."

The director was tortured to death by this ancestor. After listening to the words, it was like being struck by lightning, and he wanted to cry without tears.

Just when Fu Jinxiao was about to speak again, the assistant director's phone rang again. After he answered it, he listened to a few words, and quickly took the phone to the director and said, "Director, it's Mr. Shen's phone."

The director was surprised: "What is Mr. Shen calling for?"

The assistant director secretly glanced at the film Emperor Fu, and his heart was a little broken, but he could only bite the bullet and say: "Mr. Shen said that, as an investor of the program group, he was very dissatisfied with the content of the edited version of the program that was put on the shelves this time. He thinks that An Ran has too many shots and too much centrality, and it seems that his younger brother has a low sense of existence, and the money he invested in our show was obviously not utilized properly. "

The director's heart collapsed, and he said to the other end of the phone with some trembling: "Mr. Shen, what do you mean?"

"En" Shen Minglang seemed to be watching the fun and didn't think it was a big deal. Mr. Shen, who has always been shrewd and mercenary, gave an ultimatum: "I mean that you should immediately re-edit a version and put it on the shelves, otherwise, the investment amount of the next issue, I might have to reconsider.''
