Chapter 78: Ask for something
At least judging from the feedback from netizens, everyone is very supportive of her role as Hua Xixi.
This is what makes her happiest.
As A Pan packed up his things, he said, "I'll buy a few more of A Li's favorite dishes for lunch so we can celebrate properly."
“Don’t…” Chen Li looked at A Pan and shook her head: “Don’t be too ostentatious, it’s not good.”
"What's there to be afraid of if we celebrate on our own? Ali, you are too cautious." Xiaoyun said.
Chen Li pursed her lips and said, "I'm a newcomer, so I should keep a low profile."
A-Pan and Xiao-Yun exchanged a glance and finally nodded. A-Pan said, "Actually, Ah-Li is right. I just passed by Ren Jia's dressing room and heard her getting angry. I vaguely heard it was because of the promotional photos. If Ah-Li shows up to celebrate and gets caught, she'll definitely offend Ren Jia."
Xiaoyun was so excited that she came to her senses. "Yeah, I thought the official promotional photos for this round would be of Ren Jia, but why did it become Ali and Song Anyu? Ren Jia and Gao Fei are the second female lead, and Gao Fei has already released a promotional photo, so why not Ren Jia's?"
A Pan shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
Chen Li became even more panicked after hearing this, and quickly asked Xiao Yun: "Does this count as an offense to the seniors?"
"Of course not. This is the publicity team's business. What does it have to do with us? It's not something you can control." Xiaoyun said with a smile that made Chen Li feel at ease: "Don't worry about it. The crew's publicity has always been run by a professional team. They are definitely more professional than us. Look at the results today, it proves that they are very professional."
As a result, Chen Li felt a little relieved.
She just wants to act steadily. She doesn't care whether she is famous or not, and she doesn't want to steal the limelight from others.
On the other side, Xiaoya brought back news.
"What did you say?"
Ren Jia looked at Xiaoya in disbelief, as if she didn't understand every word Xiaoya said just now: "Say it again!"
Xiaoya lowered her head and tremblingly said, "The publicity team said that your set of photos was lost and can't be found."
"Where are the negatives? No negatives?" Ren Jia asked.
Xiaoya shook her head: "No, the film is also lost..."
"How is that possible!" Ren Jia's eyes widened, his expression ferocious. "Why did my stills get lost? Even the negatives were lost?"
No one in the room dared to make a sound. This matter really sounded strange.
If it was really lost accidentally, someone should have informed the team long ago. Given Ren Jia's personality, she would definitely squeeze out time to take another set of photos.
But there is no news at all, and they simply don’t release any stills of her.
Ren Jia has been in the entertainment industry for many years, and this kind of reason would not fool her easily.
As her anger subsided, she thought more and more that something was wrong. Finally, she said to Xiaoya, "Impossible! Go contact the publicity team and find out everything for me. Isn't that Xiaomu your close friend? Go ask him. Even if you offer him some benefits, you must get to the bottom of this matter."
She wanted to see who was so bold as to trip her up!
It was ten o'clock in the morning when Shen Ci arrived at the "Shudian Film and Television Base".
She contacted Lu Jinzhao in advance, wanting to borrow a professional from the legal department of "Jinxiao Entertainment". Unexpectedly, when she arrived, Lu Jinzhao also came in person.
"Mr. Lu?" Shen Ci was a little surprised to see him.
Lu Jinzhao, wearing short-sleeved shirt and sunglasses, walked up to Shen Ci with a smile on his face and greeted her, "Miss Shen, long time no see."
Chen Ci's eyes passed around him and looked at the man and woman standing behind him, wondering: "Didn't I just borrow one person from you? What are you doing..."
Lu Jinzhao nodded when he heard this: “Don’t misunderstand, Miss Shen, let me introduce you first.”
He first introduced the man in a suit: "This is Lawyer Lin, the consultant of our legal department, and the one who helped Miss Shen solve professional problems today."
Shen Ci nodded and greeted Lawyer Lin.
Then Lu Jinzhao introduced another woman: "This is Sister Kuan, the artist manager for Jin Xiao. She also brought a contract today and wants to discuss it with Shen Li."
Shen Ci now understood that Lu Jinzhao also wanted to sign Shen Li.
"Ms. Shen, have you seen the trending searches online today?" Lu Jinzhao asked.
"I didn't see it originally, but everyone did. I only found out after I got off the plane," Shen Ci said.
"Chen Li has great potential, so Miss Shen, don't misunderstand me. We, Jin Xiao, are an entertainment company after all, and we will definitely not let go of a good seedling like Chen Li. And now that she is in our own crew, it must be because she is close to us that she has the upper hand. We should seize the opportunity, right?"
Chen Ci smiled and said, "Mr. Lu, you don't have to explain so much to me. I fully respect my sister's wishes regarding the contract. As long as she nods, I will support whoever she signs with."
"I still say the same thing, just don't let my sister know that I invested in this drama."
Lu Jinzhao nodded in understanding: "Don't worry, Miss Shen, I won't show up. Sister Kuan will talk to Shen Li."
Not long after, Xiaoyun ran out to pick someone up. She had seen Chen Ci when A Li was video chatting with her sister, so she recognized him at a glance.
At the same time, he also recognized Lu Jinzhao.
"Mr. Lu! Sister Kuan!"
Without waiting for Xiaoyun to say anything more, Lu Jinzhao just nodded slightly, then walked past her and went straight into the set.
Sister Kuan smiled at Xiaoyun and followed her.
Only Shen Ci and Lawyer Lin were left standing there.
Xiaoyun blinked inexplicably, then turned to greet Chen Ci: "Sister A Li, right? Come in with me."
As soon as she saw her sister, Ali rushed over to her happily, and said with a happy but apologetic tone, "I'm so sorry to have troubled you again for my matter."
"It's okay. I haven't seen the crew yet, so I'm here to see what's new." Shen Ci said, then asked, "Is Teacher Yu Hong here yet?"
Shen Li shook her head.
"That's perfect. This is Lawyer Lin. Please take that contract template to Lawyer Lin to see if there's anything wrong with it."
Then, while Lawyer Lin was looking through the contract, Shen Ci pulled her sister to sit aside and whispered, "Sister, let me ask you, do you have any ideas about the arrangements after signing the contract?"
Chen Li was stunned for a moment, then shook her head: "No, as long as there is a role to play, it's fine. Sister, I'm a newcomer, it's not good to ask for too much, right?"
"Of course you have to ask for something. That's the whole point of 'talking'. Otherwise, why would I come all this way here? Isn't it just to give you the confidence to ask for something?"
Chen Li looked embarrassed when she heard this, and hesitated, "I don't want others to think that I am playing with small cards."
"But signing a contract is a collaboration between two parties. They have demands on you, and you also have the right to put forward your own demands. Only when the demands of both parties can be agreed upon can they cooperate. You can't give up your rights just because you are a newcomer!"
Chen Li held her sister's hand and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here. If you don't explain clearly, the company will arrange for you to do something you don't like, and you will have no choice but to obey."
Shen Li looked at her sister, thought for a moment, and then nodded.
