Chapter 3997: A Perfect Match (193)

Gu Xingze was a superstar created by Qin Zhou. Since his debut, he’d experienced almost no low points in his career. The two of them created and boosted each other.
Apart from a professional relationship, in private, they were very close friends. It was rare for Qin Zhou to consider someone his close friend. But such was Gu Xingze. The two of them were almost like family.
Gu Xingze’s passing had taken its toll on Qin Zhou, so much so that while in the past he was always witty and jovial, now he seemed a little quiet, and rather distant.
“Gu Xingze was really a big part of the life of a certain generation of people.” The actor said emotionally, “I used to envy him, but now I feel sorry for him.”
“All along, I’ve heard that he had depression, is that true?”
“Uh huh.” The actor gave a self-deprecating smile. “Actually, it’s not surprising. This industry is like a carnival ground. As you can see, when you’re filming, no matter how upset you are, you have to devote yourself to the role! I once met a very popular actress who was crying in the lounge before an interview. When the cameramen and reporters arrived, she dried her tears and touched up her makeup. She laughed and talked when she faced the camera. When the interview ended, she broke down and started crying again. I thought at the time that people like that lived too painfully. They couldn’t even live their lives as they pleased.”
“Why did she even take the interview?”
“Because it’s her job.” He continued, “When you’re in the business and you’re famous, it’s not up to you to decide which way you should go! I should be grateful to have a good agent to protect me. At least when I’m really down, I don’t have to pander to anyone or be driven by their mood. I’m considerably… free.”
“Uh huh.” Liang Yin asked, “Have you thought about when you’ll end your acting career?”
“Haven’t I told you before!” The actor said, “When I’ve made enough money to travel the world, I’ll quit show business.”...
“You have a utopia in mind!” Liang Yin smiled. “I thought everyone in this circle simply wanted to get ahead.”
“I used to think that too.” Hua Jin sighed. “But aren’t people supposed to live for themselves? In fact, I’ve done the math. There are times when you can’t have the life you want. Even if you have all the money in the world, you can’t have the life you want, and you feel that the life you’re living is not your cup of tea. So if you know what you want, why linger?”
Liang Yin could not help but feel a little lost upon hearing those words.
…
The next day.
Huanyu Office Building.
Qin Zhou had specially sent a car to pick Liang Yin up and officially sign the contract. He and a few of Huanyu’s senior executives were present in the conference room. Liang Yin sat down and Qin Zhou told her to look over the contract.
She pored over the document carefully until she saw the 50-50 agreement that Qin Zhou had penned between her and the company. She was a little surprised.
“Didn’t you say … 30-70?” The man smiled. “Didn’t I also tell you that I won’t be personally taking on any more artistes?”
Liang Yin was stunned for a moment before she suddenly laughed. “You didn’t keep your word!”
“Showing off your cleverness after taking advantage of me?”
