After finishing his meal with Qin Li and others, Ji Li returned to the hotel. He leaned back on the sofa, stroking the snow cake in his arms, his eyes fixed on the WeChat business card that Qi An sent to him.
There is no fancy nickname ID, just a concise and clear three-character name.
Yu Fu Ya.
Under the WeChat business card, there are two lines of words from Qi An.
——Ji Li, Sister Yu was my mentor when I entered the industry. In the early years, she brought out countless popular artists and gold medal agents. However, she returned to her family in recent years and rarely appears in public.
——However, she seems to have the idea of making a comeback and managing artists recently. Whether you can invite her depends on your own ability.
Ji Li stared at the black rose on his WeChat profile picture and fell into deep thought.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang, "Brother Ji, are you in the room?"
Xuebing, who was sleeping on his lap, heard the noise and quickly poked his head out vigilantly. Ji Li touched it and said to Baozi at the door, "Yes, come in directly."
The latter had his room card, and after receiving a response, he quickly opened the door, "Brother Ji, I bought you some fresh fruits downstairs, they are all cut, you can try them."
"Baozi, you're here at the right time. I have something to ask you." Ji Li went straight to the point.
"Brother Ji, you go." Baozi sat down opposite him, looking energetic.
Ji Li stroked the screen of his phone and asked lightly, "Have you heard of Yu Fuya?"
"Of course I know such a famous agent." Baozi nodded immediately in understanding. How could there be anything in and out of the entertainment industry that his little encyclopedia didn't know?
Ji Li forked him a piece of watermelon from the table and smiled, "Okay, tell me about it."
"That's a long story!"
Baozi straightened up and swallowed the watermelon in one gulp. "Yu Fuya must be in her early 40s this year, right? She got married three years ago and returned to her family. Although she is not old, she was a legendary agent in the early entertainment industry."
As soon as Yu Fuya graduated, she entered the circle of agents.
"She has a very sharp eye for people. Before she was 30, she had already brought out an award-winning actor and an award-winning actress. Most of the actors she spotted and arranged into the crew when they were rookies are now very popular."
"Oh, right! If I remember correctly, even Teacher Qin Li was coached by her for a while when he first debuted? At that time, even Qi An could only be a trainee agent. However, no matter how capable this person is, she can make mistakes sometimes."
Ji Li became more and more interested. "Go on."
"That was about ten years ago. Chaoying Culture signed two new actors at the same time, Qin Li and Zhu Xusheng." Baozi said, and started to check his phone.
Ji Li was in no hurry to urge him, but just nodded silently.
He had known about this before. Qin Li first made his debut by signing with Chaoying Culture Company. Later, when his five-year contract expired, he parted ways with the original company amicably and established his own company, Lixing Culture.
To this day, the two companies have maintained a good cooperative relationship.
"Brother Ji, take a look at this." Baozi handed the news he had found to Ji Li.
Ji Li came back to his senses and quickly glanced at them, his face showing surprise, "Yu Fuya and Zhu Xusheng are in a relationship between an older sister and a younger brother?"
"Yes, when the relationship was exposed, it caused a huge sensation!" Baozi continued to tell him.
At that time, Chaoying Company was very optimistic about the two new actors Qin Li and Zhu Xusheng, but the former came with his "good friend agent" Qi An, so Yu Fuya's focus was on the latter.
The two had been dating secretly for half a year, but they were photographed privately and their relationship was suddenly exposed.
At that time, Zhu Xusheng was at the peak of his career and Yu Fuya was a well-known agent. This sister-brother relationship with a nine-year age difference caused a sensation in the entire entertainment industry.
The fans were in an uproar, accusing Yu Fuya of forcing a one-sided love relationship and taking advantage of her position to have excessive physical contact with Zhu Xusheng.
Ji Li curled his lips in noncommittal.
No matter what, Zhu Xusheng is still a young and strong man. Could he allow Yu Fuya to do whatever she wants outside and take intimate photos of her? The latter is obviously a career-oriented woman and should understand this workplace taboo best.
Even if we take a step back, even if he really wanted to have bad intentions, he should target Brother Li, right?
Qin Li is much more handsome than Zhu Xusheng in the photo.
Ji Li thought secretly.
"To anyone with a discerning eye, it's obvious that the two are in a relationship. But Brother Ji, guess what happened?" Baozi clicked his tongue and shook his head.
Ji Li's eyes flickered as he guessed, "Will Zhu Xusheng deny the relationship just like his fans say? And put the blame on the woman?"
Baozi slapped his thigh fiercely, "That's it! There were many similar reports at the time, saying that Yu Fuya took advantage of the unspoken rules in the workplace... A man should part ways amicably. What he did was basically secretly 'scumbag' the woman."
"Was it instructed by Chaoying Culture?" Ji Li asked.
"Probably not, because not long after this incident, he terminated his contract with Super Film and signed with Jincheng Films. He is still the top star of that company. He gets involved in some gossip every now and then, but he dares to be so presumptuous because he relies on the bonus of his works."
Baozi took another bite of the watermelon and said vaguely, "Although Zhu Xusheng's fans have always called him and Teacher Qin Li a rival, I have to say that with the former's scumbag attributes, he is not worthy of carrying Teacher Qin Li's shoes."
"Teacher Qin Li is so nice. He has never been involved in any messy scandals since his debut."
Ji Li chuckled and slowly peeled a sweet grape.
"Yu Fuya was silent for a while, and then she kept Jiang Ying'er with her until they announced their marriage three years ago."
At the age of 38, Yu Fuya finally gave up her career, married her husband outside the entertainment industry, and returned to her family. She has not appeared in public since then.
Baozi finished telling the general story he knew, and then asked belatedly, "Brother Ji, why did you ask her?"
Ji Li did not hide anything and said, "Baozi, I plan to terminate my contract with Dream Media and I would like to ask Yu Fuya to be my agent. What do you think?"
When Baozi heard this, he was stunned for two seconds. The company’s public relations attitude this time was too hurtful. It is completely understandable that Brother Ji wants to terminate the contract and leave. but……
"Ask Yu Fuya to be my agent? Is that possible?" Baozi was both surprised and expectant.
"How do you know if you don't try?" Ji Li placed the WeChat business card in front of Baozi, clicked it and added the friend with an indifferent expression.
He believed in the candidate recommended by Qin Li and Qi An. Yu Fuya, who was once a career-oriented person, met his requirements for an agent very well. What's more, cooperation and choice are two-way streets.
Baozi nodded expectantly, "Brother Ji, no matter what you do, I will support you! Even if you leave Dream Media, I will follow you!"
"Meow~" Xuebing, who was lying on his lap, also took the opportunity to let out a howl.
Ji Li was touched and responded with a smile on his lips, "Yeah."
…
He Ling had never performed a complete scene, so Ji Li's temporary joining did not affect any progress of the crew.
Xie Yan didn't have many group scenes in the early stages, and his individual scenes were not affected by others, so Ji Li had a relatively easy time during the first few days after joining the group.
Ten days later, it was the end of the month when the crew took a unified vacation.
Ji Li took advantage of this day off and returned to Hai City overnight without telling the company. He sat in the restaurant box that had been reserved long ago, waiting silently.
Shortly after the agreed time, a woman in a black dress pushed the door open. She had shoulder-length hair and her makeup was simple and capable, yet elegant.
"Sister Yu." Ji Li recognized her and stood up to greet her, "I'm Ji Li."
"I know. I checked you before I came here." Yu Fuya glanced at the time. "Sorry, I'm six minutes late."
Yu Fuya did not sit down directly, but stood by the table and looked Ji Li over, "He looks good, even better in person than in the photo."
Ji Li curled his lips slightly and invited her to take a seat.
After Yu Fuya sat down, he quickly ordered a bottle of strong whiskey and opened his backpack to look for cigarettes. "Let's talk about it later. I'll take a break."
Her eyes glanced at the blood-red notebook in the bag, her face instantly became gloomy, and she threw it on the table.
Ji Li took a closer look and saw that it was a divorce certificate.
Yu Fuya lit up her e-cigarette, snorted and met the young man's gaze, "A fresh divorce certificate, just issued half an hour ago."
Just in time, the waiter brought the wine.
Ji Li silently poured a glass for Yu Fuya, then said, "Sister Yu, congratulations on your return to being single."
Yu Fuya looked at him and asked, "How do you know I'm celebrating and not drinking to drown my sorrows?"
Ji Li poured himself a glass and said calmly, "If you wanted to drown your sorrows in alcohol, you should have stood me up today."
Yu Fuya shrugged, drank the spicy whiskey in one gulp, and cursed inwardly, "I've had enough of this shitty love. Whoever loves you can have it."
She thought that by giving up her career for love, she could have a happy marriage. But since the accidental miscarriage a year ago, the long-hidden conflict between the couple finally broke out.
Her ex-husband complained more and more about her, and Yu Fuya could no longer bear it, so she finally chose to divorce today.
Some time ago, she casually mentioned in her circle of friends that she had the idea of making a comeback and leading others. As a result, Qi An acted quickly and immediately found a new person for her.
If it had been a year or two earlier, she might not have agreed to meet him. All I can say is that Ji Li's timing of running into me was just too coincidental.
"Let's talk business." Yu Fuya put out her e-cigarette and tapped on her empty wine glass. "Qi An talked to me about you. He said that they at Lixing originally wanted to sign you, but unfortunately you rejected it?"
She poured herself another glass of wine.
"I've seen your performance clips in the movie. The newcomer that Qin Li picked up and wanted to sign into the company must be quite talented."
"Ji Li, I am very interested in you."
In just a few words, Yu Fuya expressed his attitude.
As a newcomer who has not been involved in the circle for a long time, he has a relatively clean background, and he is also good-looking and talented. As long as he does not cause any trouble later, he will be a potential stock that can become popular after being fed a few bites of the film and television pie.
Now she is extremely disappointed in love and divorced. She just wants to devote herself to her career.
Leading a newcomer to the top is the best comeback model Yu Fuya could have thought of. Of course, she can only be the best assistant, and it still depends on whether Ji Li herself is competitive enough.
"The choice is mutual. Now that we have met, I won't say any more polite nonsense."
Yu Fuya's eyes were sharp as she reminded him seriously, "During our cooperation, before you win the Best Actor award, you can't touch anything related to love, not even being ambiguous with others."
Ji Li curled his lips and answered simply, "Sister Yu, I'm not interested in love, but I also have requirements."
Yu Fuya raised her eyebrows slightly, "Tell me."
"You can arrange my other future announcements and activities, but I want to have the greatest autonomy in choosing film and television scripts." Ji Li spoke bluntly, without any fear of a newcomer on his face.
"Of course, if you can have good film and television resources, I will certainly be happy to accept it."
"Are you confident in your vision for choosing dramas?" Yu Fuya didn't rush to agree.
Ji Li raised his glass and shook it slightly, and asked, "What else? Don't you trust your own taste in choosing people?"
Yu Fuya was stunned, then chuckled, her suppressed heartstrings finally relaxed after a long time, "Very good, it seems we have something in common in terms of personality."
The other party's confidence is very measured and his attitude in conversation can be considered frank. She prefers this kind of straightforward attitude compared to those artists who appear obedient on the surface but resist behind the scenes.
Ji Li's thinking pattern is obviously very mature and he is very clear about his own needs.
Although there is an age difference of almost twenty years between them, Yu Fuya does not feel that there is any generation gap in their communication.
The two men clinked their glasses together as a way of wishing each other a happy cooperation in advance.
Ji Li briefly explained the contract he had signed with Dream Media, "I haven't found the next company yet, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Sister Yu to take care of it."
With his current popularity and qualifications, it is not enough for him to set up his own studio. The best guarantee is to find a large company with rich qualifications.
"Leave the contract termination to me, and you just focus on filming on the set." Yu Fuya made up her mind in no time, "As for your next company, go to my old company."
Ji Li was startled, "Super Shadow Culture?"
Yu Fuya nodded. "To be honest, I am one of the investors of Chaoying. It is easier to do things in my own company. What? Do you have other ideas?"
"No, I'll follow your arrangements, Sister Yu." Ji Li responded calmly, with a hint of complexity in his eyes.
If he remembered correctly, the company that the original book's male protagonist Ji Yunqi belonged to when he debuted was Chaoying Culture.
Unexpectedly, after going around in circles, this "cannon fodder" would actually end up working in the same company as the protagonist of the original book?
