Ji Yutong seemed to be deaf to the sound and continued to stare at the front in silence, like a dull puppet.
The agent became even angrier when he saw her like this.
"Why are you being so arrogant? If you didn't have the company's help, how could you become famous?"
Ji Yutong still had no reaction, but she thought this sentence was ridiculous.
Company help?
Since signing with the company, what kind of help has she received from the company? Has her agent ignored her, told her not to do other things to violate the contract, or pressured her to accompany drinking?
She fought for every audition opportunity herself.
Even for this small web drama, Ji Yutong was so excited when she got the role of the heroine at the beginning, but her agent directly poured water on her, saying that this kind of low-cost web drama had no future, and even said that the company would not give her any help because they thought this web drama would not bring any benefits to the company.
Ji Yutong endured all of this.
After struggling in the company for a few days and being besieged by the company for a few days, she only wanted a normal job, even if the pay was low, she would be willing to do it.
In order to successfully complete the drama, Ji Yutong would take time out to work after filming every day to earn her living expenses.
After persisting for a whole month of filming during the day and working at night, sleeping only five hours a day, Ji Yutong did not hope that the web drama would become a big hit. She only hoped that more people would pay attention to her and that other companies would take a look at her.
After that, rescue her and leave.
This web drama became unexpectedly popular. It started to frequently dominate the trending searches within a few days of its broadcast, and content related to this web drama could be seen on major websites and applications.
Ji Yutong looked at the various notifications on her phone and started crying while laughing.
She thought she had finally appeared in front of the public, had a chance to speak, and had bargaining chips to negotiate with the company.
But she didn't expect that when she entered the company, what awaited her was not the indifference of her agent and the company, but the indifferent look at her.
The company felt that she was lucky this time. Although they didn't know how a small web drama became so popular, it was good for the company anyway.
Especially since she is now well-known, the company has changed its previous attitude of ignoring her and directly brought her numerous endorsements.
But what made Ji Yutong feel disheartened and desperate was that almost all of those endorsements were "three no" endorsements, and they were products she had never heard of.
The company intends to take advantage of her current fame, seize the current opportunity, and maximize her "popularity" as much as possible.
Ji Yutong just became popular because of a web drama. How could any big brand want to cooperate with her? At this time, those who seek cooperation are all unknown brands who just want to gain exposure.
You don't even need to investigate this kind of brand company to know that it will definitely go bankrupt in the future.
But what does that matter?
Anyway, Ji Yutong's purpose of existence is to make money and bring benefits to the company.
Moreover, they didn't believe that Ji Yutong could go far in the future, so they wanted to make more money while she was still useful.
In fact, Ji Yutong didn't understand many things before entering this circle. She entered the entertainment industry in the beginning because she had no academic qualifications and no experience, and she just wanted to find a job to support herself.
Just when she was walking on the street, she was discovered by a scout from this company, who promised that she could be made into a big star and make a lot of money in the future. Only then did Ji Yutong agree.
At that time, she had just left a small mountain village and had no idea about the tricks of the big city, especially entertainment companies, which were ruthless and cruel.
But he was in urgent need of a job and a place to live, so he joined Star Lake Entertainment.
But she didn't expect that what awaited her was a hopeless life in the next few days.
She wanted to leave the first time, but her agent directly threw out the contract in black and white, telling her that she still had nine months left on her contract with the company.
When she was taken by her agent to work as a bartender, she tried to seek help from others, but those people just passed by and no one was willing to stop to help her.
She also thought about exposing these things online, so that everyone can see how Star Lake Entertainment Company treats its contracted artists behind the scenes.
But she didn't know when her phone was being monitored by her agent all the time, and even her social media accounts were managed by the company. If she wanted to post anything that was detrimental to the company, it would be discovered immediately, intercepted, and deleted.
Moreover, they threatened her that if she didn't behave herself, they would send out the photos and let everyone, especially Ji Yutong's family, know what shameful things she had done behind her back?
But she realized that someone had only put his arm around her shoulders when she was taken to the bar, and she was still struggling.
And those photos were taken from malicious angles, making it look like she was actively throwing herself into someone else's arms.
Ji Yutong knew that as long as the company posted these photos online and contacted some marketing accounts and media, they could turn black into white.
She had witnessed with her own eyes a girl in the company who had the same experience as her, trying to expose the company's ugly practices but was overwhelmed by the overwhelming negative information and "sexy photos".
Netizens are the most affectionate and the most ruthless.
They only believe what they can see, and those things they can see are actually released by the company for them to "see".
Ji Yutong knew that she couldn't confront the company head-on under such circumstances, so she just wanted to be famous, and she wanted to be famous even in her dreams!
Because she is famous, she may have a say.
But the facts told her that unscrupulous companies would not change their attitude towards her because of her future potential. They only cared about their current interests.
Ji Yutong didn't sign any of those endorsements.
She knew that once she signed, it would be the end of her life.
This action of hers angered the company, so during the period when she was most popular, other companies would find ways to increase the exposure of their artists in order to consolidate their fans.
But they directly blocked any news about Ji Yutong, restricted her from appearing on camera, and forbade her to contact any media.
They wanted to use this method to tell and warn Ji Yutong that she could not beat them and had to be obedient.
If she wants to continue to stay in the circle, she must listen to them.
As for not wanting to stay in the circle and wanting to wait for the contract to be automatically terminated after the expiration of the contract?
Oh, then it’s even worse.
How could the company leave such a money-making tool like her unused?
If she doesn't go to work, what awaits her is a sky-high penalty for breach of contract, as well as all kinds of dirty tricks that will be enough to make her and her family live in this world with dignity.
There is no way forward or backward.
Ji Yutong didn't know what to do anymore.
She is not a coward, but she is really too tired.
The endless cages and shackles, as well as the endless intimidation and threats in her ears, have already exhausted her mentally and physically, and she no longer has the desire to live.
So she decided to take a chance with her agency, a place that was like hell!
Use your life to dispel the darkness.
She had put everything aside a few days ago to experience the feeling of living a carefree life, and also transferred the last bit of money to her family.
She even wrote a suicide note after her death.
Just waiting for the last step.
While the agent continued to chatter and threaten her, Ji Yutong slowly stood up and walked to the window.
Xinghu Company is on the 18th floor of this building.
She looked down and could only see a crowd of people as tiny as ants.
The eighteenth floor.
Jumping down would probably cause severe social backlash, right?
But just as she walked to the edge of the window, another thought suddenly emerged in her mind, as if someone was calling her.
Is she really going to die?
It wasn't her who did anything wrong, so why was she the one who died?
It is these devils who should go to hell!
They used all kinds of despicable means to deceive and defraud innocent girls, causing countless girls with dreams to fall into the abyss step by step.
But what can she do?
Apart from making a big deal out of this, she really couldn't think of any other solution.
Their power is too weak to compete with capital and companies that control the media power.
Ji Yutong just stood by the window, caught in the painful tornado of despair and the last glimmer of hope.
The agent behind her had no idea what she was thinking. He just saw Ji Yutong walking to the window with a strange expression on her face.
She didn't know why she felt unhappy.
After thinking for a while, she dragged Ji Yutong to the table and threw out several contracts.
"Ji Yutong, I've seen many people like you who are arrogant and look down on this and that, but don't you think about what you have besides your face? God gave you this face so that you can take shortcuts, and you insist on making a fuss about not using it. Is that interesting?"
"Besides, there's no shortage of good-looking people in this world. Others don't even have this opportunity, so don't try to show off."
"When you have figured it out, sign these contracts and hand them over to me. There will be prosperity and wealth waiting for you in the future!"
Seeing Ji Yutong's expression just now, she really didn't dare to push her too far.
So after thinking about it, he added, "You go and think about it for a while, and give me the contract the next day. Hurry up and take the contract and go to your dormitory!"
After saying that, he pushed Ji Yutong out the door.
As soon as the door was closed, the agent immediately called the dormitory manager and asked her to keep a close eye on Ji Yutong.
At present, she is the company's cash cow, so nothing can go wrong.
Ji Yutong was practically escorted into the dormitory.
I guess she lost contact a few days ago, and the agency was afraid that she really ran away, so they kept such a close eye on her.
The dormitory was very small, with only a bed, a wardrobe and a table, and her things were even fewer, just a few sets of clothes and simple toiletries.
Some people who come here may not believe that this is an artist's dormitory.
Although her clothes and supplies were worthless, she didn't want to leave them to the company, and even wanted to donate them to remote mountainous areas.
Ji Yutong stood up and began to pack her things, but she didn't expect to suddenly take out two triangular things from her bag.
She was stunned and didn't react to what it was at first. When she took it out of her bag, she remembered that it was given to her by the little fan she met in the restaurant before.
Thinking of Ye Luoluo, Ji Yutong felt a moment of warmth, and when she glanced at the symbol, she was suddenly stunned.
Is there an image or phone number on this talisman?
Although Ji Yutong didn't have a deep understanding of these things, he had seen pigs run even if he hadn't eaten pork.
Aren't these talismans usually written with special characters? Would anyone actually write phone numbers on them?
When she was wondering, the words that Ye Luoluo's classmate Lin Xi said to her at that time suddenly came to her mind.
She said that if you need help, you can ask her for help.
