Chapter 78: If you have requirements, you must raise them
At least from the feedback of netizens, everyone was very recognized for her playing Hua Xixi.
This was what made her happiest.
A-Pan organized things and said: "I'll go buy more dishes that A-Li likes at noon, and let's celebrate properly."
"Don't..." Shen Li looked at A-Pan and shook her head: "Don't be too ostentatious, it's not good."
"What are you afraid of celebrating by ourselves? A-Li, you are too cautious," Xiao Yun said.
Shen Li pursed her lips and said: "I'm a newcomer, it's right to be low-key."
A-Pan and Xiao Yun looked at each other, and finally nodded. A-Pan said: "Actually, A-Li is not wrong to think so. I just passed by Ren Jia's dressing room and heard her getting angry. I vaguely heard it was because of the promotional photos. If A-Li shows up to celebrate at this time and is discovered, she will definitely offend Ren Jia."
Xiao Yun also came to her senses in excitement: "That's right, I thought the official would post Ren Jia's promotional photos in this round, why did it become A-Li and Song An Yu? Ren Jia and Gao Fei are both second female leads, Gao Fei posted, why didn't Ren Jia post?"
A-Pan shook his head, indicating he didn't know.
Shen Li was even more terrified when she heard this, and quickly asked Xiao Yun: "Does this count as offending a senior?"
"Of course not, this is the business of the publicity group, what does it have to do with us? It's not like you can control it." Xiao Yun said with a reassuring smile to Shen Li: "Don't worry about these things, the crew's publicity has always been run by a professional team, they must be more professional than us. Look at the effect today, it proves they are very professional."
In this way, Shen Li felt a little relieved.
She just wanted to act down-to-earth, she didn't care about being popular, and she didn't want to steal anyone's limelight.
On the other side, Xiao Ya brought back news.
"What did you say?"
Ren Jia looked at Xiao Ya in disbelief, as if she didn't understand every word Xiao Ya just said: "Say it again!"
Xiao Ya lowered her head, trembling: "The publicity group said that your set of promotional photos was lost and couldn't be found."
"What about the negatives? Are there no negatives
Xiao Ya shook her head: "No, the negatives are lost too..."
"How is that possible!" Ren Jia's eyes widened, her entire expression turning exceptionally ferocious: "Why did it have to be my stills that were lost? Even the negatives are gone?"
Everyone in the room didn't dare to breathe; this matter did indeed sound suspicious.
If they had truly been lost by accident, someone should have notified the team long ago. Given Ren Jia's personality, she would certainly have squeezed out the time to reshoot a set.
Yet, there was absolutely no news; they simply stopped releasing her stills.
Ren Jia had been drifting through the entertainment industry for many years; this kind of excuse could not easily fool her.
After her anger gradually subsided, the more she thought about it, the more wrong it felt. Finally, she said to Xiao Ya: "Impossible. Go contact the people in the publicity group and get the truth of the matter for me. Isn't that Xiao Mu on good terms with you? Go ask him; giving him some benefits is fine, but you must get the truth for me."
She wanted to see exactly who had such guts to dare trip her up!
At ten o'clock in the morning, Shen Ci finally arrived at the "Hengdian Film and Television Base."
She had contacted Lu Jinzhao in advance, wanting to borrow a professional from the legal department of "Jin Xiao Entertainment." She hadn't expected that when she arrived, Lu Jinzhao would have come in person as well.
"Mr. Lu?" Shen Ci was somewhat surprised to see him.
Lu Jinzhao, wearing short sleeves and shorts with sunglasses on, walked up to Shen Ci with a smile on his face and greeted her: "Miss Shen, long time no see."
Shen Ci's gaze bypassed him to look at the man and woman standing behind him, asking in confusion: "Didn't I only ask to borrow one person from you? What is this..."
Lu Jinzhao nodded upon hearing this: "Miss Shen, don't misunderstand. Let me introduce them to you first."
He first introduced the man wearing a suit: "This is Lawyer Lin, a consultant from our legal department, who is the person helping Miss Shen solve professional problems today."
Shen Ci nodded and greeted Lawyer Lin.
Afterward, she heard Lu Jinzhao introduce the other lady: "This is Sister Kuan, an artist manager at 'Jin Xiao.' She also brought a contract today and would like to talk with Shen Li."
Shen Ci understood now; Lu Jinzhao also wanted to sign Shen Li.
"Has Miss Shen seen the trending topics online today?" Lu Jinzhao asked.
"I hadn't seen them, but everyone else had. I only found out after I got off the plane," Shen Ci said.
"Shen Li has great potential, so Miss Shen, don't misunderstand. After all, we at 'Jin Xiao' are an entertainment company, and we certainly wouldn't let a good seedling like Shen Li go. Since she is now in our own production crew, it's a case of 'the near water tower gets the moon first.' We have to seize the opportunity, don't we?"
Shen Ci smiled: "Mr. Lu, you don't need to explain so much to me. Regarding the signing, I completely respect my sister's wishes. As long as she nods, I will support whoever she signs with."
"I'll say it again: just don't let my sister know that I invested in this drama."
Lu Jinzhao nodded in understanding: "Miss Shen, rest assured. I won't step forward; Sister Kuan will be the one to talk with Shen Li."
Before long, Xiao Yun ran out to meet them. She had seen Shen Ci when she was video calling with Ah Li, so she recognized her at a glance.
At the same time, she also recognized Lu Jinzhao.
"President Lu! Sister Kuan!"
Without waiting for Xiao Yun to say more, Lu Jinzhao just nodded slightly and then walked past her directly into the set.
Sister Kuan smiled at Xiao Yun and followed along.
Only Shen Ci and Lawyer Lin were left standing in place.
Xiao Yun blinked in confusion before turning to greet Shen Ci: "Ah Li's sister, right? Come in with me."
As soon as she saw her sister, Ah Li happily rushed over, saying both happily and apologetically: "I'm really sorry to have you running around again for my sake."
"It's fine. I haven't seen what a film set is like yet, so I'm here to see something new," Shen Ci said, then asked: "Has Teacher Yu Hong not arrived yet?"
Shen Li shook her head.
"That's perfect. This is Lawyer Lin. Hurry and take that contract template to Lawyer Lin to see if there are any issues."
Then, while Lawyer Lin was flipping through the contract, Shen Ci pulled her sister to sit aside and whispered: "Sister is asking you, do you have any thoughts on the arrangements after signing?"
Shen Li was stunned, then shook her head: "Not really. As long as there are roles to act in, that's fine. Sister, I'm a newcomer; it's not good to make too many demands, right?"
"Of course you have to make demands if you have them. That's the point of 'talking.' Otherwise, why would I run all this way? Isn't it to give you the confidence to make demands?"
Shen Li looked troubled upon hearing this and hesitated: "I don't want others to think I'm a newcomer acting like a big shot."
"But signing a contract is a two-way cooperation. They have requirements for you, and you have the right to put forward your own requirements. Only when both sides' requirements reach a consensus can you cooperate. You can't give up your rights just because you're a newcomer!"
Shen Li held her sister's hand and said: "With me here, don't be afraid. If you don't make things clear, you'll only be able to obey if the company arranges for you to do things you don't like later on."
Shen Li looked at her sister, pondered for a moment, and then nodded.
