Chapter 37 You Want It
next time?
Will there be a next time?
After Dr. Sun left the ward, Li Xiao leaned on the bed with a dejected look, and his mind began to flash back to the time he spent with Shen Ci. Her every frown and smile seemed to be engraved in his mind, and he remembered every detail very clearly.
He tried to find his faults in his memories, but no matter how hard he thought, he still couldn't figure out what unforgivable mistake he had made that made Chen Ci so determined to break up with him.
The more he thought about it, the sadder he became. The wounds seemed to ache slightly. Li Xiao sighed irritably and lay down to continue sleeping.
After a hard week, the freshman military training finally ended. Chen Ci asked her sister to call a few roommates out together and she would treat them to a big meal.
The place was chosen to be Fengxiang Tower, which was chosen by Gu Lianxing. I heard that it is a century-old brand in Longcheng. The Chinese food is particularly authentic, and there are dedicated chefs for each major cuisine.
In the private room, the six girls were as lively as you could imagine. Except for Chen Li who was a little introverted, the others were very extroverted. They would burst into laughter from time to time, making the room extremely lively.
"Sister, you don't know. When Chen Li's role was replaced by that influential actress Xu Zishan, she was extremely arrogant and deliberately flaunted herself and provoked Shen Li several times. People who didn't know her would think she was the leading actress."
When the topic came to Chen Li, Wang Chuhan thought about what happened a few days ago and felt indignant for Chen Li.
Sun Yuan and Zhao Meina also nodded. Zhao Meina said, "I heard that her family spent 500 yuan to buy a maid to act? I don't know what she is so proud of. I feel bad for her when I think about it."
Sun Yuan looked at Chen Li and said, "That Xu Zishan just treats you as an imaginary enemy. She looks down on you, but you happen to be the most competitive."
Chen Li seemed a little absent-minded at this time, and smiled after a moment of hesitation.
"Ali, what's wrong with you?" Chen Ci also noticed that her sister was not in a good state today and was always distracted: "Are you worried about something?"
Gu Lianxing, who was busy showing off to the fans, looked at Chen Li in surprise when she heard this, put down her chopsticks and asked, "I heard that the filming is about to start, are you nervous?"
Seeing everyone looking at her, Shen Li shook her head gently, and then looked at Shen Ci and said, "Sister, there is an agent who wants to sign me. I have been thinking about it for several days and still can't make up my mind. Tomorrow is the press conference, and I will definitely see her again. I don't know how to answer then."
Before Shen Ci could react, Wang Chuhan reacted with great surprise and screamed: "What? You haven't replied to the other party yet? I thought you had already discussed it with the other party."
Sun Yuan was also surprised and said, "Why would you even consider this? He's Song Anyu's agent. Look at how popular Song Anyu is now and how great his resources are!"
Zhao Meina calmly analyzed, "Having an agency and an agent would definitely be more beneficial than harmful for students like us who are still in school. It would provide us with many more opportunities."
"The agency must have tons of resources. Where can we find them? The best we can do is wait in school for the crew to come and pick us. If we're lucky, we'll be lucky enough to get a minor role with lines."
Gu Lianxing looked at Chen Li in confusion and asked, "Do you want to sign or not?"
"I kind of want to sign, but I'm also a little scared." Chen Li spoke frankly, "I want to sign because, like Mina said, I might get some other resources. I'm afraid that after signing, I'll have no control over my own life. I know that in this industry, it's impossible to have everything go my way, not to mention that I'm a newcomer, but I just feel... like I'm not completely ready to be arranged by others."
"Oh, it's really a drought or a flood!" Wang Chuhan curled his lips in envy and said, "If an agency wanted to sign me right now, I would definitely sign without hesitation and wouldn't even think about it."
Chen Ci looked at her sister. In fact, she could understand her sister's anxiety. Many people would inexplicably have many thoughts when facing major choices in life. This was normal.
Last time she couldn't help her sister, but this time she can cover for her sister anytime, anywhere, regardless of the consequences.
She smiled slightly and said, "Don't think too much. If you want it, take it. If you don't want it, don't take it. Ask yourself what your truest thoughts are."
"Then...what if I make the wrong choice?" Chen Li asked.
Chen Ci's smile widened: "If you made the wrong choice, then you made the wrong choice. Who hasn't made the wrong choice? Don't waste your energy on something that hasn't happened yet. It's meaningless."
"Your sister is right. You should consider this stage at this stage and don't think about the future." Gu Lianxing agreed with Shen Ci's words.
Chen Li nodded gently: "Then I'll sign it. I have to sign it sooner or later anyway."
She seemed to have made up her mind, and several of her roommates also spoke up to express their support. After all, to be an actor, signing with a company is a must, and whether things will be good or bad in the future can only be done by doing one's best and leaving the rest to fate.
The press conference for "The Destiny of Phoenix" was held on the top floor of "Longcheng International Hotel" the next day. This press conference gathered major domestic media. The popularity and topic value of this IP have remained high since the news of its film and television adaptation was released. Book fans are looking forward to it, so much so that as soon as the live broadcast room of the press conference started, more than one million people flocked in within five minutes.
"The on-site sound, microphones, and lighting are undergoing final adjustments."
"Why hasn't Song Yuner arrived yet? Hurry up and contact her team. It's almost time. Is it appropriate to act like a big shot at this time?"
"Have the host check the script again. Don't mispronounce the actors' names. It's taboo these days."
"Stationmaster, you have to arrange the stands according to their ranking from the middle to the sides. You can't mess it up, or you'll get scolded by the fans!"
The person in charge of the press conference was so busy that he never stopped talking on the walkie-talkie in his hand. The whole scene from the front to the backstage was in full swing, and everyone seemed to have endless things to do.
Chen Li sat weak and helpless in the corner of the backstage. In order not to be late, she arrived at the scene two hours in advance, but she didn't expect to just watch the excitement for two hours.
In addition, she also saw many celebrities, including Gao Fei, Sun Yalun, and Bai Yu. They all had their teams and assistants following them. She had watched the dramas of these people, and it still felt a little unreal to see them in real life.
Chen Li couldn't help but secretly wonder, if she signed with a company in the future, would she also have her own team?
At this moment, the already chaotic atmosphere backstage suddenly became more chaotic, and the staff could be heard shouting: "Song Yuner is here, Song Yuner is here!"
When Chen Li heard Song Yuner's name, her eyes lit up and she quickly got up and ran towards the voice.
Song Yoon-ah is one of the most popular young actresses in the entertainment industry today. She is nicknamed the "professional heroine". The dramas she plays are all about strong female characters. She has a huge fan base and a high degree of stickiness.
