As he was speaking, Li Junping came out with drinks.
He placed a cup of tea in front of Zhang Yuzhi and said, "I know you like this. Fortunately, I have this kind of tea at home."
Jian Yang looked at the teacup in front of Zhang Yuzhi, then at the boiled water in front of himself, and was stunned.
Zhang Yuzhi: "Director Li really understands me. I rarely get to drink this kind of tea abroad."
She glanced at Jian Yang like a winner and said that they should be able to see what was more important in Director Li Junping's heart.
Seeing that the wind was blowing in the wrong direction, Ke Rao suddenly became a little anxious. "Director Li, regarding the film, our Jian Yang has always been busy. When do you think it would be a good time to sign the contract?"
Sun Cheng smiled instantly.
“You always have a schedule, right?”
She glanced at the beautiful Jane, and suddenly there was a hint of sympathy in her eyes.
"That's really pitiful. He can't even get a few announcements. It seems that the artist you are currently managing is not very popular."
Ke Rao blushed, feeling embarrassed in front of an old acquaintance. She was very unhappy, but she said stubbornly, "Who said that? We're just willing to turn down all the announcements for Director Li's film!"
Sun Cheng sneered disdainfully.
I would never believe her!
If they are not famous, then they are not famous. Maybe they just came here to take advantage of this opportunity to film a movie and become famous overnight.
Li Junping touched his nose. He glanced at the graceful Zhang Yuzhi next to him and suddenly changed his tone, saying, "I need to think about who to choose as the heroine. Why don't you go back today? I'll get back to you later."
Ke Rao's heart sank to the bottom of the valley.
She suddenly changed her mind about something that had been agreed upon, and after the actress expressed her desire to play the female lead, even a fool knew that this matter was likely to fail.
But she just wouldn't give in.
She waited for so many years before finally getting a good play for Jian Yang, and Jian Yang had just started to embark on the road to success.
Seeing that their momentum was getting better and better, how could they let Zhang Yuzhi's interference take away Jian Yang's opportunity?
"But Director Li..."
Ke Rao wanted to seize the last chance to struggle, but this time Jian Yang held her hand and stopped her from speaking.
Jian Yang stood up and bowed to Li Junping, saying, "Director Li, sorry to bother you. We're sorry to bother you today. No matter who you choose next, we hope you can have a pleasant cooperation."
After she finished speaking, she pulled Ke Rao out of Li Junping's house. Junping was stunned. Before he could even say goodbye, he heard the sound of the door closing.
Zhang Yuzhi and Sun Cheng looked at each other. It seemed that Jian Yang was quite sensible.
Knowing that she can't get any good deal from Li Junping, she knew to quit early. She is much more perceptive than Ke Rao!
Ke Rao was dragged out of Jian Yang's house, feeling extremely unhappy. "Why did you pull me out just now? Do you know how important this opportunity is to you?"
Jian Yang: "Sister Ke..."
Ke Rao said with a sullen face, "Don't call me Sister Ke. We still had a chance to fight for it. Now that you're gone, there's nothing left!"
This was the first time she got so angry with Jian Yang.
In the past, even if Jian Yang had messed up the show, she would not have exploded with such strong emotions towards Jian Yang. It was obvious that she was transferring all the anger she received from Sun Cheng and Zhang Yuzhi to Jian Yang.
Jian Yang was silent for a moment, then asked, "Sister Ke, you've been in this business longer than I have. Don't you have an idea of what Li Junping is thinking?"
If she hadn't pulled Ke Rao out at that time, Ke Rao might have done something even more inappropriate in order to get her to act in this play.
Sun Cheng and Zhang Yuzhi obviously had a grudge against Ke Rao, and she didn't want Ke Rao to become too humble in front of others.
Jian Yang said, "Did you see the cup of tea Li Junping brought out? Although it looked like plain tea, the tea leaves in the cup were Jade Dragon Well tea, which is very hard to find on the market. You can imagine how important Zhang Yuzhi is to Director Li Junping."
That cup of tea alone would cost several thousand yuan. Would Ke Rao's staying there change anything?
I'm afraid Sun Cheng and others will continue to make fun of her.
Ke Rao was silent for a while. Unable to accept this, she finally squatted down on the street with her hands covering her face. "I just... can't accept it."
Ke Rao: "Why do all the good things get taken away by Zhang Yuzhi alone? Aren't the efforts of others worth mentioning?"
She no longer expected to get anything from Zhang Yuzhi, but did she really not think that what Zhang Yuzhi did today was excessive?
Jian Yang asked, "Are you and Zhang Yuzhi old acquaintances?"
Ke Rao nodded.
Jian Yang: "From what I heard you two talking just now, it seemed like you were very familiar with each other in the past. What happened that made you break up?"
Ke Rao raised her head and sighed heavily, "I used to be her agent."
Jian Yang was stunned.
"Have you ever worked with such a great artist?"
This was beyond her expectations.
And I have been working with an agent who has managed movie queens.
Looking at it this way, I really am trying to reach above my level.
Ke Rao said with a headache, "That was all before she became a movie queen. Before she became famous, I was the one who always took care of her. I was the one who took care of all the work for her, and I humbled myself on her behalf and begged others to give her a good script. Even the movie that made her a hit was the resource I fought for her."
Jian Yang had no idea how much she had to beg and humiliate herself in order to get that script.
At that time, the production team had already selected the heroine, but the playwright suddenly fell seriously ill, so the filming had to be postponed.
In order to please the production team and secure the leading female role for Zhang Yuzhi again, she worked as the playwright's caretaker for a whole month, taking care of his excrement and urine.
She could say that she had never been so dedicated to her parents in her life!
It was precisely because of her efforts at that time that the playwright was moved by her and decided to give Zhang Yuzhi the script for the heroine.
What she wanted at that time was to give Zhang Yuzhi some better resources, so that if Zhang Yuzhi really became famous, she could also benefit from it.
Jian Yang sat down with her on the side of the road and asked, "What happened next?"
Ke Rao said dejectedly, "Later, she became a huge star thanks to that movie, and more and more people came to her to negotiate for resources. At that time, she was just like you, and she didn't have a formal agency yet."
Zhang Yuzhi and Jian Yang actually had the same starting point.
They all have no background and no resources.
Jian Yang frowned. She had a bad feeling in her heart. "Could it be that she was poached by another agency, and they asked to kick you out and replace her with their own agent?"
Ke Rao nodded.
"That's what happened."
Jian Yang was speechless.
The routines of these brokerage companies are actually the same.
Didn’t Fanhua Entertainment say exactly the same thing when they came to negotiate with me?
Ke Rao said, "So I was still very surprised and touched that you rejected Lu Mancheng's invitation and chose me without hesitation."
She had almost thought that she would encounter the same thing and be abandoned again.
Who knew that Jian Yang would go against his own first interests and choose her.
If Jian Yang had not made that choice at the time, she felt that she might have become depressed, and her state would not have been much better than Li Qiulan's when she was pushed away by Zhao Xiaoyun.
