When Agent Zhang heard this, his face turned green.
Shui Yiyao didn't even glance at him, only at her leader: "You decide where to move to, I won't be picky."
The female leader looked at Shui Yiyao without saying anything. After a moment, she nodded and put on her smile again: "Okay."
She looked at Agent Zhang and said, "Go out first. Yi Yao and I have something to say."
"Mr. Lan..." Agent Zhang was anxious.
"Get out." President Lan didn't stop smiling, and spoke softly but firmly.
Agent Zhang looked at Shui Yiyao, gritted his teeth, opened the door and went out.
President Lan stood up, poured a cup of hot tea from the tea table, brought it back and handed it to Shui Yiyao. He looked at her and said in a friendly tone, "He's gone. Can you tell me why you want to change your agent?"
"Thank you." Shui Yiyao accepted the tea. "Boss Lan, this isn't the first or second time that Manager Zhang has used me as a stepping stone for Yue Xi. Shouldn't he at least give me some overtime pay? He doesn't even pay me a penny, and he's just expecting me to do the hard work."
"Most of the online criticism I'm receiving now is due to my own faults, but agent Zhang and Yue Xi also deserve credit."
President Lan nodded: "What you said makes sense."
"Changing agents is no problem. I'll change you right away. Also, your contract can be upgraded to an A-level contract. The renewal fee will be tenfold, and the contract term will be extended to five years."
Shui Yiyao didn't even think about it: "No."
President Lan was surprised: "Not changing?"
Contract upgrades were considered a career goal for all the artists at the company, and everyone was eager to get one. This was the first time she'd heard someone say they wouldn't change it.
Shui Yiyao put down the teacup and said, "Boss Lan, my contract still has two years left. Let's talk about renewal later. I need to think about it."
She was planning to quit the industry when the contract ended, but she wanted to renew it for another five years? If she had the 10 million yuan termination fee, she could have announced her retirement right then and there.
President Lan pulled a folder from the shelf beside the desk and handed it to Shui Yiyao: "Then I'll show you the A-level contract first. You can read it and think about it carefully. There's no rush."
Shui Yiyao took the contract but didn't open it immediately. She put it away and said, "Okay."
·
The company replaced Shui Yiyao with a female agent named Yu. She has managed many artists in the company and is a very experienced agent.
Shui Yiyao stood at the door of Agent Zhang, watching Sister Yu and Agent Zhang hand over the artist.
Sister Yu held up a thin folder and asked Agent Zhang, "Is that all? Where's the artist development plan?"
Agent Zhang's face darkened: "..."
He never considered Shui Yiyao an artist, so how could he make a plan?
Sister Yu knew it all. It wasn't that Agent Zhang couldn't do it; the plan he'd made for Yue Xi was excellent. He just looked down on Shui Yiyao. But "Up Mountains and Down Seas" aired yesterday and was so popular, the whole afternoon and evening was enough time for him to draft a plan.
But there was no draft, which meant he had no intention of doing it. He was just used to ignoring Shui Yiyao.
"Yi Yao is very hardworking. She's only been in the industry for a year, but she's already attracted so many fans. Don't worry, Xiao Zhang, she won't be wronged by me." Sister Yu deliberately said to him, "I haven't had time to prepare the plan yet, so I have to think about it carefully. We can't waste such a good talent. Don't you agree?"
Agent Zhang: “…”
Sister Yu said a few more words, which made Agent Zhang's face turn pale, and then she took Shui Yiyao back to the office.
"Up Mountains and Down Seas aired yesterday. Did you watch it?"
After returning to the office, Sister Yu asked directly about Shui Yiyao.
Shui Yiyao shook her head: "No."
For her, the show is over when she receives her salary and bonus.
Seeing her answer so clear and concise, Sister Yu was a little amused and said, "Take a look first. I'll give you an interview now. Don't make mistakes during the interview, and don't be clueless when asked."
"Do I have to go?"
"Yes, the 8 o'clock entertainment hall, it's a very important interview."
Sister Yu originally thought that Shui Yiyao would be happy to hear the title of this interview, but she didn't react at all, as if it was nothing new.
Sister Yu was a little confused, but she still handed over a tablet and said, "Take a look."
"Okay." Shui Yiyao took the tablet computer handed to her by Sister Yu and clicked on the video, which was about going up mountains and down seas.
"If you have any questions, you can ask me. I'm mainly responsible for guiding you right now, nothing else."
"Got it, thank you Sister Yu."
Shui Yiyao looked at the progress bar. Like the previous ones, each episode was divided into two parts, each lasting one hour. The upper part was diving and mountain climbing, and the lower part was a team competition.
They originally recorded for five days, and the program only lasted two hours.
Now there is only the first episode, which is one hour long, and the team competition has not yet been broadcast in the second half.
The program started with an assembly video, in which there was a segment asking Shui Yiyao if she had any special skills.
This segment was originally cut out in advance as a warm-up, but it was not fully edited. When it was released, Shui Yiyao's answer was "I have many specialties", but the segment where she jokingly said "I have long legs" was not edited.
Barrage: So the program crew did it on purpose and caused people to be scolded.
Shui Yiyao didn't feel much about being scolded because she didn't read Weibo and wouldn't search for anything related to herself.
Next is the diving project. The preparations before diving were not cut in, and the scene started directly with everyone standing on the beach preparing to enter the water.
-I don’t want to see Shui Yiyao at all.
-This issue's Diving King is Su Su, right? He has a diving license after all!
-Ning Yuanyuan is not bad either.
-It’s either Su Su or Ning Yuanyuan.
-Going into the sea!
- I went to see it and we didn't predict the Diving King...
- You didn't expect it, it's Shui Yiyao.
After all, she recorded the program herself and she still remembers the content, so her attention is basically on the barrage.
Some netizens are quite interesting.
After entering the water, everyone had a short shot, until Shui Yiyao.
The shots of Shui Yiyao are particularly long.
-This is probably the guest with the longest shot in the history of diving projects.
-But they also rely on their own strength.
-Good luck with fish.
-Oh shit, dolphins! Dolphins!
-Three dolphins! What's going on with Shui Yiyao?
-Some people are naturally attracted to animals, like my brother, who is naturally attracted to cats and dogs.
The further the camera moves, the more small and big fish there are around Shui Yiyao.
-So beautiful, with a movie-like texture.
-I turned off the barrage, brothers.
-Little princess under the sea!
-Ahhhhh awsl
-Three brushes passing by
-How beautiful!
-He's a good person, but he has a big mouth!
-If the character wasn't so suffocating, it would be hard for this to not become popular.
The screen was filled with comments, and the picture was hard to see. Shui Yiyao herself didn't realize at the time that the scene of her diving with the fish on the seabed was actually a huge visual impact, especially since this variety show provides 3D effects, and most netizens will enjoy it even more.
In the diving project, she alone took up at least 60% of the shots.
Because of this extremely beautiful diving process, the subsequent results were more logical. Shui Yiyao won first place, but no one discussed it. Everyone thought it was natural.
-I'm going back to swipe! Is anyone joining me?
-Six brushes passing by.
-Oh my god, this is so beautiful.
-Shui Yiyao should stop being an unlucky artist and go to the aquarium as an exhibit. Tickets are 500 yuan each and you can make a fortune by receiving them.
-If you really go to the aquarium exhibition, I will definitely have a ticket.
The diving was followed by a clip of mountain climbing.
-Is there any suspense in the mountain climbing? It’s Haozi in every episode.
-Skip it.
-Is it time for our Haozi’s solo show again?
-I am back from my second visit, I was wrong qaq
-If you are passing by for the third time, don’t jump, friends, there is a surprise!
Mountaineering starts with warm-up exercises, and Shui Yiyao was the first to start running.
Some people in the barrage said that she didn't understand and was not prepared for warm-up, so she would definitely not be able to run in a while.
-I'm back after watching it for the second time. I'm the only one who doesn't understand why the comments can't be deleted! I'm so angry!
-Am I the only one who was attracted by the short video "Sprint" on Weibo?
-No, you're not alone.
Halfway through the race, Shui Yiyao ran neither fast nor slow, very steadily, and hardly panted for breath.
-Where did this fitness geek come from?
-Who can believe it?!
-Haozi’s original rest was cancelled!
-I admire the woman who forced the King of Mountaineering to become like this.
-Fuck, she's still sprinting!
-Is this a real sprint?
-Werewolf.
-Oh shit.
-? ? ?
-Win...
As she sprinted to the top of the mountain, the barrage reached a peak.
She went up the mountain and picked up the small flag representing victory, and a single interview with a guest was suddenly cut into the video.
First is Jiang Hao.
Program team: "What did you feel when you saw Shui Yiyao sprinting?"
Jiang Hao shook his head, his expression a little bewildered. "I didn't expect it. I didn't expect it at all." He repeated it several times. "You know what? We were originally tied for first place, and we were almost at the top of the mountain when she suddenly rushed out. It felt like a gust of wind was blowing around me. That speed... I was really impressed."
"This is the first time I've seen someone sprinting while climbing a mountain. He's a tough guy." He smiled helplessly, "Too strong."
Then there is Shui Yi Yao’s single color.
Program team: "When you were about to finish the race, you sprinted. Was it because you really wanted to win? Did you sprint with perseverance?"
Shui Yiyao smiled. "Depend on perseverance? I think it's inertia. I treat it like a long-distance race. I always sprint at the end of a long-distance run. I'm used to it."
She said it quite calmly, and the comments were full of "werewolf".
The mountain climbing is over, and the last issue ends.
Seeing that she had finished reading, Sister Yu, who was standing next to her, put down her work and said to her, "Two of your stories have been trending this episode: The Little Princess Under the Sea and Inertia Sprint. The interview later may focus on these topics. Think about your answers."
"I've analyzed your current predicament and it's because you've offended too many people. My advice is to avoid talking about it and slowly let it go. But be humble and don't take the initiative to cause trouble."
"The public will quickly forget what you did."
Sister Yu handed Shui Yiyao a piece of paper she had just written. "This is your new character design. Take note of it. Follow this from now on."
Shui Yiyao took it. On the paper were written the characteristics she had demonstrated while climbing mountains and swimming in the sea.
She didn't quite agree with Sister Yu's words: "If you do something wrong, you should apologize. What's the point of avoiding it?"
Sister Yu said seriously: "It's like this in this circle."
"I don't care whether it's in the circle or not, I'm not like that anyway."
Sister Yu looked at her and saw that she was serious. Her originally serious expression softened a bit and she suddenly laughed: "That's even better. Since you dare to play, let's use the second plan."
"Second option?"
Sister Yu took the piece of paper from her hand and put it into the shredder next to her: "It's up to you."
Shui Yiyao was surprised.
Sister Yu said, "Your personality is truly likable. There's no need to pretend to be one for the audience."
"Putting the cart before the horse is never the best policy."
"Since you have the courage to face up to the mistakes you made in the past and take responsibility for them, that's great," Sister Yu said. "After all, it's not that the mistakes disappear just because you don't take responsibility. As long as you don't take responsibility, those negative things will always follow you, and you'll never be able to clear your name."
“Only by fully taking responsibility can we make a complete break.”
Sister Yu: "Do you understand what I'm saying?"
Shui Yiyao: “…”
Isn't it just an apology for doing something wrong? Why does it require so much psychological thought?
