Chapter 192

~8 min read 1,497 words

Zhao Rui's brows furrowed.

Since her own artist has high fame, she definitely stands on her own artist's side.

And Li Xunfang's plan wasn't arranged incorrectly; various awards will be added at the end of the year, so there's no time to film.

The beginning of next year is also full of various ceremonies to attend, and she can only rest for a while after the New Year.

The New Year is in February; after resting for a week or two, the studio starts working, and there are many New Year activities to participate in, increasing exposure.

Filming in April, given Li Xunfang's current schedule, is actually not excessive.

But Zhao Rui didn't want to make things too awkward with the director.

She thought for a moment and said: "How about this, Xunfang will join the crew in March."

The director asked tentatively in a low voice: "Zhao Jie, let's move it a bit earlier; how about starting filming in February after the New Year?"

Zhao Rui's brows furrowed, and she said impatiently: "Xunfang's schedule is so busy; it's already good that I can move it forward by a month for you. You still want to move it forward? That's impossible!"

"That's it, I have things to do, hanging up now!"

Listening to the busy signal on the phone, a bitter smile rose on the director's lips.

He wiped his face and called the investor again, begging and pleading, carefully stating Li Xunfang's requirements.

The investor was instantly unhappy.

"You agreed to let me start filming in February; filming in March will make the venue rent higher. It's only cheap around the New Year."

The director bowed slightly: "But that's Li Xunfang; her schedule is very busy, and she can find time to film in the crew..."

Before the director could finish speaking, the investor interrupted him.

"Don't tell me she's busy. If her schedule is too busy, she shouldn't have taken it in the first place. I don't want to pay such high venue fees; you go communicate with Li Xunfang yourself."

The investor also muttered: "Seeing Jin Li's health is worse than hers, and her fame is higher than hers, but she never misses an announcement she's supposed to run, and she has never broken a promise she made.

Why couldn't we get Seeing Jin Li to film it in the first place? How is she even more of a diva than Seeing Jin Li!"

After hanging up the phone, the director couldn't help but curse.

Doesn't he know Seeing Jin Li is good?

The first heroine for this drama was Seeing Jin Li.

But Seeing Jin Li didn't take it; what could he do!

The director thought about it and decided to call Zhao Rui again, but unfortunately, even Zhao Rui didn't answer the phone this time.

He sighed heavily and could only worry in vain.

Suddenly, a strange number dialed her mobile phone, and a delicate voice came through:

"Hello, Director, I'm Lian Baozhi. I wonder if you recognize me?"

On Seeing Jin Li's side, after eating a lunch buffet at Tianding Entertainment, she was sent to the company by Guang Ge.

It just so happened that Sanyuetian was on the way to run an announcement, so Seeing Jin Li sat in Sanyuetian's nanny car.

Gu Cheng sat with her, and they didn't forget to discuss learning even in the car.

Originally, there were voices from Guang Ge and other team members in the car, but in the end, everyone else fell into silence, leaving only the discussion between Gu Cheng and Seeing Jin Li.

Chen Lin was infected by this sacred learning atmosphere and had a sense of worship for the learning god, so he didn't dare to speak.

But he likes to talk and couldn't hold it in, so he turned his head to look for Luo Yi and Yan Xingdong.

Both of them were sitting in the front. Chen Lin poked his head over and found that they were holding music scores and lyrics, studying them together.

Chen Lin's mouth twitched.

No way, again???

Is it too late to play light music with instruments as background noise?

A "roll dog" is worthy of being a "roll dog."

Rolling to the end, everyone has become a "roll dog" T^T

After returning to the company, Seeing Jin Li rested for a while and called Qi Guan Mingzhu.

She asked directly: "Are you not planning to take 'Leisurely Slow Life' anymore?"

Qi Guan Mingzhu was stunned, "What?"

Seeing Jin Li was puzzled: "You don't know? Yan Xingdong called your manager to ask if you want to participate in the resumption of 'Leisurely Slow Life,' changing from a weekly broadcast mode to a monthly broadcast mode. Your manager's tone was ambiguous, as if she didn't intend to participate."

Qi Guan Mingzhu's brows furrowed tightly.

She was visiting a comic convention and went to an exhibition area selling fan comics, intending to take a look.

Hearing Seeing Jin Li's words, she immediately lost the mood to look at the comics.

Qi Guan Mingzhu walked to a quiet corner and said in a deep voice: "I didn't hear my manager mention this. I can promise you in advance: as long as Yan Xingdong invites me to participate, I will definitely participate.

'Leisurely Slow Life' achieved good results before, and it was relaxed and comfortable during recording; I have no reason to refuse!"

Seeing Jin Li thought so too, so she was a bit surprised when she learned that Qi Guan Mingzhu might convey a refusal through her manager.

In her eyes, Qi Guan Mingzhu wasn't that kind of person.

She hates trouble, but the recording of "Leisurely Slow Life" is very relaxed and not troublesome at all.

Seeing Jin Li said: "Okay, I'll call Yan Xingdong right now and give him a reply."

After Qi Guan Mingzhu hung up the phone, she turned to dial her manager Lu Shuxian's mobile number. After a while, the phone was answered.

Lu Shuxian said in surprise: "Mingzhu, what's the matter?"

Her tone sounded a bit happy, "Are you willing to participate in other types of variety shows? Which one did you pick?"

Qi Guan Mingzhu said straightforwardly: "I don't pick any of them. 'Leisurely Slow Life' invited me back for filming; why didn't you tell me?"

Lu Shuxian's voice was hesitant.

"No, it's not that I didn't want to tell you, but I wanted to raise the price, so I didn't tell you immediately."

Qi Guan Mingzhu frowned: "The contract signed for 'Leisurely Slow Life' was a quarterly contract, and we stopped airing halfway through; we didn't even finish a quarter. How can we raise the price?"

This simply couldn't be done!

She said bluntly: "You're being a bit too greedy; people shouldn't be this greedy."

Lu Shuxian said "No" several times in a row.

"When the contract was signed, I didn't expect 'Leisurely Slow Life' to stop airing halfway. Such good traffic for the summer break was wasted, and the company didn't say anything. Now I just want to raise the announcement fee a bit; it's all negotiable."

Qi Guan Mingzhu rubbed her temples.

But the variety show stopped airing, and the free time could be used to run announcements for the summer break; isn't that better for an artist?

You can't blame 'Leisurely Slow Life' for not airing during the summer break, causing her to lose a lot of exposure, just because she didn't run announcements during the summer break.

And not running announcements during the summer break was her own choice; she just didn't want to be so crowded!

Qi Guan Mingzhu took a few breaths, "In short, I have already promised them that I will participate in the announcement. From now on, I will handle the variety show connection. Let's handle the announcement fee according to the original one.

After the quarterly episodes signed are finished, if 'Leisurely Slow Life' continues filming, then we will sign a new contract."

Lu Shuxian heard the dissatisfaction in Qi Guan Mingzhu's words and immediately agreed.

She has one good point.

Once Qi Guan Mingzhu decides on something, she won't repeatedly persuade her; this is considered a tacit understanding between the two.

Seeing Jin Li opened her tablet and, through dedicated software, prepared to interview private tutors.

She thought about it and decided that it wasn't realistic for a teacher to follow her around to teach her; after all, she was very busy running announcements, and she wasn't used to having someone follow her in her daily life, disrupting her life pace.

Then let's just use the internet to teach.

For general basic lectures, she could learn by herself through online videos, but for tutoring specifically targeting her weaknesses, she had to pick a teacher.

Soon.

The first teacher appeared on the tablet. The background behind her was a blackboard. After chatting simply for a few moments, the teacher immediately entered the teaching state and began to talk eloquently.
