The South City's richest Zhong family had doted on their beloved daughter for seventeen years, only to find they had doted on the wrong person!
Word had it that the true daughter, Kong Xi...
Chapter 560, Signing Company
"Huh?" Wu Yan was also stunned when she heard the voice on the other end. Why did she feel that the other party seemed angry? She quickly said, "No, no, I just knew about this situation, so I wanted to make it clear in advance."
Although the previous agent, Brother Sen, was disgusting, he only made such a request, and she directly refused and there was no follow-up.
It’s better not to say too much at this moment.
"Ms. Wu, I deeply admire your acting skills and abilities, and I sincerely hope to work with you. I also deeply detest the current phenomena in the entertainment industry. Please rest assured that although our company is a newly established small one, we are absolutely a legitimate enterprise with sincerity and a clear bottom line." The person on the other end of the line breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Wu Yan's words, and then extended a sincere invitation: "How about this, if it's convenient for you, let's set up a time to discuss the contract details and your personal future plans."
"Oh, sure." Wu Yan said, "I have time today."
After saying this, she felt a little regretful.
Wouldn't this make me look anxious?
"Okay, then add this number as a WeChat friend and send me the location. I'll send a driver to pick you up."
The person on the other end of the phone didn't sound surprised or dismissive, which actually made Wu Yan feel relieved.
"I can go there by myself." Wu Yan hadn't signed the contract yet and felt a little embarrassed to trouble the other party, but the other party said that this was just one of the company's steps and Wu Yan just had to cooperate. Wu Yan agreed and awkwardly added the contact information and sent the location of a nearby McDonald's.
She happened to be in the city right now and had originally planned to buy some clothes, but when she suddenly received this call, she didn't want to leave casually. She just looked down at her somewhat old-fashioned and loose sportswear and blushed.
Wouldn't this seem too casual?
If I had known she would have made an appointment for tomorrow.
It would be a waste of time to leave rashly to buy clothes now. It would be bad if the driver had to wait for a long time. In a hurry, she might not be able to choose the right one.
Oh, the head is so big...
At this moment, Kong Xiyan called: "Wu Yan, come over tonight? My cousin flew some specialties from the Arctic. Would you like to try some?"
"Village Chief Xiao Kong! Help..." Wu Yan immediately told her that someone had called her and also explained her predicament.
"You say a number."
"Huh?" Wu Yan blinked. "6?"
"Well, great luck." Kong Xiyan calculated and said, "Don't worry, I'll have a celebration party for you tonight."
"Huh?" Wu Yan was stunned. She immediately felt like she was going to cause trouble again. She laughed dryly and said, "Hey, no need to bother. We'll talk about it later."
She was quite worried about this matter which had no clue about it.
"No trouble." Kong Xiyan thought for a moment: "By the way, bring a bottle of light soy sauce when you come back, it seems to be used up."
"Yes, that one was used up last night, and there's not much soy sauce left. I'll buy some back later." Wu Yan agreed.
"Thank you~ Don't worry, you'll be safe, all your wishes will come true, and your luck will continue to rise." Kong Xiyan encouraged Wu Yan a few more times before hanging up the phone.
Wu Yan always felt that Kong Xiyan was simply coaxing her, but she still felt relieved and less nervous.
She turned her head to look at herself by the floor-to-ceiling window and sighed softly.
It’s okay to be a little rustic, after all, this is the real her.
Not long after, a high-end-looking business car stopped in front of her.
After Wu Yan got in the car, she nodded to the driver, who responded with a sincere smile and reminded her to fasten her seat belt.
Wu Yan quickly did as she was told, and then put her hands on her knees, feeling a little uneasy.
Not long after, the car stopped in front of a building.
As soon as Wu Yan got out of the car, someone led her inside and took the elevator upstairs.
After the elevator door opened, Wu Yan looked around and saw the bright floor-to-ceiling windows and various office spaces. However, it looked a bit empty at the moment, with only a few people busy at work. The lights in the practice room not far away were on, but no one was there.
"This way, please."
"Okay." Wu Yan withdrew her gaze and walked into a reception room at the back. As soon as she opened the door, she saw a beautiful woman dressed very intellectually, who looked to be in her early forties.
"Hello, my last name is Lin, you can just call me Sister Lin." The other party stood up and shook hands with Wu Yan: "Sit here."
"Hello, Sister Lin." Wu Yan sat opposite Sister Lin with a somewhat reserved smile.
"Our company has just been established and isn't very well established yet, but our legal department is working diligently and we're ready to sign contracts at any time." Sister Lin said with a smile, "We're looking to sign a group of talented artists. You're our first partner after careful investigation and selection. Ms. Wu, I admire you very much."
"Thank you for your appreciation." Wu Yan chuckled and then asked, "Then what is your position for me?"
"We have conducted a comprehensive analysis. Please wait." Sister Lin opened the PPT and compared all of Wu Yan's performance materials one by one, summarized them, and analyzed the specific situation combining industry trends with personal circumstances.
Seeing this, Wu Yan also became serious. She never thought that this company actually chose her after careful consideration. Even the roles where she only appeared once or were a stand-in were specially marked, and her strengths and weaknesses were analyzed in detail.
"Your camera sense and skills are impeccable, but you're a bit passive when it comes to script selection. Plus, you have striking features, making you more suited to the big screen than TV series or the increasingly popular online short videos. Forget variety shows, unless they're for promotional purposes. We'll generally turn them down for you, trying to distance yourself from the audience and letting your work speak for itself." Sister Lin pulled out a casting poster and script and handed them to Wu Yan. "This director is looking for talented actors. I've already contacted them. I can arrange for you to audition for the second and third female roles. I think you'd be fine. The role will be at 2 p.m. the day after tomorrow, so time is a bit tight. Is that okay?"
"Thank you, sure." Wu Yan took the poster, her mind confused.
"Regarding the signing fee, what's your proposal?" Sister Lin looked at Wu Yan. "If there are no problems, we'll sign the contract today, and the money will be transferred to your account within three working days."
Wu Yan blinked and wanted to say 200,000. After all, she had a good drama waiting to be broadcast. Although she was only the fifth female lead, the role was very likable, so 200,000 should be no problem.
But when she thought about the fact that this was the only role she could show off, and that the other party was a newly established company, she lost her confidence.
Finally, she silently stretched out her right hand, spread out her palm, and prepared to bid 500,000 first, so that if the other party wanted to bargain, there would be room.
"5 million? Sure." Sister Lin agreed readily.
