Chapter 352: Poaching failed, lost to salted fish

Yu Guan Mingzhu asked: "You choose what you like first, so they won't force you to participate in announcements you don't like?"

Xi Sister Meng Ze: "Yeah, the purpose of them asking me to participate in announcements is to not let me reduce exposure."

"If I can participate in the announcements they choose, that would definitely be better. After all, those announcements are also carefully selected for me, which is very consistent with my status."

"But in the end, I have to agree. If I don't want to, they won't force me."

"According to what I say, with our current status, and being first-tier celebrities, the constraints of the company are already very few. The company is based on our wishes to carry out announcement activities."

Yu Guan Mingzhu suddenly fell into silence.

What kind of days has she been living in Century Entertainment!

In the past, I only knew that Jin Li lived comfortably in Chenxi, because her body was not good, so Chenxi didn't let her participate in many announcements, and raised her with a minimum salary every month.

If it weren't for Jin Li occasionally needing some treatment fees, it is very likely that she wouldn't participate in an announcement all year round.

But as long as Jin Li wants to participate, Chenxi Entertainment can always find a program suitable for her to participate in, and it is the kind with less work and more money.

Xi Sister Meng Ze said so much, and asked after the fact: "Why did you ask about my announcement schedule and company arrangements? Why, are you dissatisfied with your current company?"

Yu Guan Mingzhu didn't be silent this time, just "um", "I want to change to a freer company."

Xi Sister Meng Ze said very understandingly: "I also decided to jump ship because my former employer was too strict with me. They saw me traveling everywhere and were very unhappy, saying that if I had this time, I might as well run more announcements."

"I don't understand. My sister has money in her bank card, and I also have a stable income every month. I want to travel and relax, which is my own choice. Why can't I relax?"

"Other celebrities need to work hard because they are still in the rising period, but for me, my rising period has passed. Staying in the circle now is just drifting along, providing for the elderly and earning some small money."

"I just want to say, if I really want to make big money and run many announcements, then why should I choose a small company?"

"At the beginning, there were many first-tier big companies that handed me olive branches, but I refused them all. Isn't it because small companies have fewer restrictions and are relatively free and loose."

Yu Guan Mingzhu echoed and nodded, "Right, I think so too. If I really have career ambition, then so many first-tier companies can be chosen by me, why choose a small company?"

Xi Sister Meng Ze complained: "The key is that the company itself can't support a famous celebrity, and can only rely on me to make money. I also have a lot of pressure. I originally wanted to be a salted fish and drift along, but I inexplicably became the pillar of the company."

Yu Guan Mingzhu felt the same way, "As long as you don't want to run announcements one day, the whole company will morally kidnap you, and you will doubt whether you are too unsympathetic."

Xi Sister Meng Ze sighed: "Yeah, we are really not easy. You understand me!"

Yu Guan Mingzhu found a sense of identity in Xi Sister Meng Ze. Originally, she just wanted to understand the situation, but as she talked, it turned into porridge on the phone.

On the other side, Sui Lingfang communicated with Jin Li and called Yu Guan Mingzhu, but it showed that it was busy.

Sui Lingfang dialed several more in a row, but it was still busy.

She was a little puzzled. Who is Yu Guan Mingzhu chatting with so much?

Or is it that the news that she wants to jump ship has been spread, and many people have come to the door?

Originally, Sui Lingfang was a little worried, thinking whether to send a message to Jin Li, let Jin Li send a message to Yu Guan Mingzhu, and call her if she has time.

But just as she entered the dialogue box with Jin Li, in the small video placed in the lower left corner of Sui Lingfang's mobile phone, Jin Li had already started live streaming learning.

She paused, but didn't disturb Jin Li.

Since Jin Li said there was no problem and could talk about the contract, there should be no big problem.

If it reached this point, and the cooked duck could still fly, it could only show that Yu Guan Mingzhu and Chenxi Entertainment had no fate.

Fate comes and goes, flowers fall and flowers bloom, can't be forced.

Two hours later, Yu Guan Mingzhu ended the call with Xi Sister Meng Ze.

She was about to open the mobile phone address book to see how many people called her during the call, but the next second, another strange call came.

Yu Guan Mingzhu was about to refuse, but was afraid that this was the number of Chenxi Entertainment staff, so she answered it.

This answer led to a new discovery.

"Hello, may I ask if you are Yu Guan Mingzhu? I am Zhang Guang of Tian Ding Entertainment, the current manager of Sanyuetian and Ji Qinglian."

Yu Guan Mingzhu was surprised: "Brother Guang? Why are you calling me? Don't you have my WeChat?"

Zhang Guang smiled: "I think it will be more formal to communicate on the phone, and you can also hear my solemn attitude from it."

Yu Guan Mingzhu had a premonition in her heart, and soon, Zhang Guang confirmed her premonition.

Zhang Guang just chatted for a few words, and then went straight to the point on the phone:

"I heard from Chen Lin that you have had a conflict with the company recently. I don't know if you have any plans to jump ship? Tian Ding Entertainment is very welcome to join!"

"As long as you are willing to join Tian Ding, we will do our best to help you operate popularity, announcements... everything is based on your opinion."

Yu Guan Mingzhu listened to him very face-to-face, and then said: "Brother Guang, Tian Ding Entertainment can offer me such conditions, I am very moved. After all, Tian Ding's status in the industry, any artist knows how powerful it is."

When Zhang Guang heard this, his heart sank.

First raise and then suppress, the most common means of refusal.

At the beginning, he praised the other party fiercely, and later often followed a "but".

Sure enough, after a few seconds, Yu Guan Mingzhu clearly refused Zhang Guang's proposal.

"But my personality is not good." Yu Guan Mingzhu opened the skylight and said brightly, "I am very lazy. I don't like to run announcements frequently. There are 30 days in a month, and I hope to be on vacation for 15 days."

"And I am very picky about announcements. Any hard, too routine, unoriginal, stir-fried leftovers... I don't want to go up. I don't have much career ambition, and Tian Ding Entertainment is not suitable for me."

Zhang Guang:...

Opening his mouth, he hit a few sets of refusal combination punches. What can he say?

But he still wanted to save it.

Zhang Guang reacted quickly and said: "Tian Ding is very sincere in wanting to reach a cooperative relationship with artists, and will be based on the artist's wishes to take announcements that the artist can accept."

"And aren't you wanting to transform into a singing and dancing stage? It's not that I boast, Tian Ding has a very mature stage operation mechanism for hitting the list."

"You know how successful our male group Sanyuetian is. If you are willing to join Tian Ding Entertainment, we can provide you with many mature stage announcements and use Tian Ding's connections to help you open up the singing and dancing route as soon as possible."

Yu Guan Mingzhu was very moved, but she remained rational.

"But I don't want to have great achievements in singing and dancing!"

This sentence successfully silenced Zhang Guang.

Yu Guan Mingzhu said: "I want to transform into singing and dancing, just because I am too annoyed to participate in variety shows. I hope to open up another track, instead of just being able to take variety shows."

"But I don't want to go to film and television, because I don't know how to act at all. Only singing and dancing can be considered my old business, and I can accept and integrate into it very quickly."

"I don't need to achieve much success myself. It's like a hobby. Satisfy my hobbies in the circle, be able to mix a meal, instead of paying money to go out."

Zhang Guang: "Your requirements are better to complete than I thought. Tian Ding Entertainment can do it for you, and even do it better."

Yu Guan Mingzhu shook her head: "No, no, no, you don't understand what I mean. I don't want to do better, just just right and about the same."

Zhang Guang asked tentatively: "Do you already have an intended company?"

Yu Guan Mingzhu said very frankly: "Well, I have talked to Chenxi Entertainment. I think this company is very suitable for me. I can fish with Meng Meng and Jin Li."

Zhang Guang:...

So, are salted fish attributes mutually attractive?

What virtue and ability does Chenxi Entertainment have!!!

If Jin Li knew Zhang Guang's thoughts, she would probably smile and say: Salted fish attributes are not necessarily mutually attractive, but the king of rolls will definitely make salted fish avoid it.

After Jin Li finished live streaming learning, she opened the script of *My Mediocre Life*. Just looking at the first episode, she aroused interest.

Very interesting.

Unlike the beginning of ordinary dramas, which are all foreshadowing and introducing background, this drama introduces contradictions at the beginning, and the progress is very fast, and the plot description is also very grounded, not exaggerated.

Jin Li quickly opened the second episode. When college students returned to the countryside to be village officials, many ridiculous things happened in the village.

The villager asked: "Can you distinguish what is farming or farming?"

College student village official puzzled: "Isn't this the same thing?"

Villager: "You go, we can't communicate anymore, go, go, go!"

Jin Li couldn't help but laugh, really interesting.

Seeing that it was time to sleep, Jin Li put down the script and prepared to read it tomorrow.

She wants to finish reading the script before deciding whether to take it or not.

Just about to turn off the phone, Gu Cheng sent her a long string of messages. It turned out that the time for the local proof of academic ability examination next year had been set, and it was set in March next year.

Gu Cheng: 【Open registration in advance, you can sign up tomorrow】

Jin Li: 【Thanks? (? ω?)?】

Gu Cheng: 【When are you free to come out?】

Jin Li: 【Why?】

Gu Cheng: 【We go to the big bookstore. Didn't you say your luck is very good? Then you point to a few tutoring books at will, and we will stare at the questions inside to do】

Jin Li: 【Ah? Wouldn't this be too superstitious?】

Gu Cheng: 【This is called metaphysics.】

Jin Li thought about it, her eyes lit up: 【I am going to Fang Fei Headquarters to shoot photos the day after tomorrow, and it will take about three days. I heard that the bookstore in Guangzhou is very big. Shall we go and see?】

She is a G-province household registration, and she also took the college entrance examination in G-province. Next year, G-province college entrance examination adopts the 3+1+2 mode, adopting the national volume 1, but other subjects such as physics, chemistry, biology, history, geography, and politics are all set by G-province itself.

When she learns by herself, she can look at deeper questions to expand her knowledge, but if she wants to take the college entrance examination, it is better to adapt to the difficulty of her own province early.

Many people think that learning knowledge with higher difficulty and then taking questions with lower difficulty can easily get high scores.

But in fact, it is not necessarily true.

Knowledge with higher difficulty can expand thinking, but if there is no training, it is also easy to capsize on simple problems.

Some people always think of simple questions as very complicated. This is a deviation in thinking.

But one thing is right, the difficulty of exams is usually very high, as long as you go through some training, you can easily adapt to questions with low difficulty.

The premise is to train.

Gu Cheng: 【I'll look at my announcement arrangement. We will run to Guangzhou to participate in announcements the day after tomorrow. We will gather then.】

Gu Cheng: 【I should call others too, you can also bring familiar friends】

Jin Li: 【Mm-hmm!】

Because they are afraid of being written by paparazzi about the two dating alone, celebrities will have a large group of people when they go out. Many people use the cover of gathering to fall in love.

Jin Li suddenly smiled lightly. The starting point was clearly serious, but why did it feel like they were secretly falling in love.

The next day, Jin Li continued to study the script.

She spent half a day reading the script and called Sui Lingfang to express her willingness to take it and communicate with the director as soon as possible.

In addition, she sent a message to Xu Wenwen to thank her for her recommendation. She has read the script and likes it very much, hoping to reach a cooperation with the director.

When Xu Wenwen received Jin Li's message, she was having lunch with the director.

Director Ye Weijie was so worried!

Eating is not peaceful, the phone rings from time to time, all are calls from investors.

Answered with full piety and expectation, and hung up with incomparable disappointment.

"Sorry, after the company's comprehensive evaluation, the script is a good script, but the market is too niche and cannot be invested!"

"No, the economy is not good now, the strategy is fully shrinking, the company is only willing to produce dramas that can get back the cost. If it was a few years ago, it would definitely be invested, but not this year."

"No, the market is niche. Although the script is interesting, it doesn't necessarily have many people watching."

Ye Weijie sighed melancholically, looked at Xu Wenwen beside him, and said:

"I feel like I'm going to be sorry for your favor. The script has not been able to pull investment. If you can't raise money, I'm afraid the agreed production team will have to disperse."

Ye Weijie is not a newcomer director in the circle. He has filmed three dramas. The first novice work was a web drama, and as a result, it exploded in the market and became a little famous.

The second one was also a web drama, but it was considered a big production. The actors invited were second-tier traffic small flowers and small fresh meat, and the publicity was also good, but the plot was dragging, and the drama was not supported.

Director is a very consuming profession.

Some people can eat old on a representative work, but some people can be destroyed by a street-sweeping film.

Ye Weijie vaguely has a trend of becoming the latter, no, not vaguely, but has already become the latter.

Everyone said the script was good, but they couldn't pull investment.

Market shrinkage is one reason, but because the script is good, some people are willing to invest, but they are not optimistic about him filming because they see that he has already ruined a big production drama.

In the call just received, some investors said very vaguely whether to consider selling the script.

Ye Weijie refused without thinking.

This script was discussed by him and the screenwriter. No one understands the details inside better than him. He still wants to film it himself.

When the script was produced, he found Xu Wenwen.

For one thing, his novice work cooperated with Xu Wenwen. Although Xu Wenwen was only a small supporting role at that time, her acting skills were very good, leaving a deep impression on him.

Secondly, he has seen *Dream Builder* in the summer file. He feels that Xu Wenwen's acting skills are more mature than before, so he can't wait to knock down this favored actor.

Originally, he wanted Xu Wenwen to be the heroine. After all, with his current ability, he can only afford to invite Xu Wenwen to be the heroine.

As a result, Xu Wenwen retreated and said that her popularity could not support this drama, and also said that he needed to find a more powerful female celebrity to revitalize this drama.

Ye Weijie flashed the Jin Li mentioned by Xu Wenwen in his mind, and immediately denied it. Impossible, don't think about it.

Now he can't even pull investment, can there be a second-tier celebrity more powerful than Xu Wenwen to film? It's impossible to be whimsical and expect a first-tier celebrity to take over, right?

Xu Wenwen saw the message sent by Jin Li, with a profound smile on the corner of her mouth, and said noncommittally: "Director, don't worry, wait a little longer." ===== CHAPTER 353 =====
