Dai Li came to the company's apartment with the help of the original owner's memory.
The apartment is fully furnished, with no worries about water and electricity, and an aunt comes to clean it every week. In Dai Li's opinion, it is much more comfortable than the Cheng family.
She put down her suitcase and was just about to eat the fried rice noodles she bought downstairs when she received a call from her agent, Sister Tu.
As soon as Sister Tu opened her mouth, she knew she had a bad temper: "Daili, do you still want to work hard? If you don't want to do it anymore, just forget it. Give the termination fee to the company, and we will part ways. There is no need to torture each other anymore."
When she signed the original owner, Sister Tu had very high expectations for her and wanted to make her a top star.
Who would have thought that the original owner was a hopeless person who was picky about the resources given to her, and when she finally found someone she liked, she didn't take him seriously.
I have been in this industry for four years, but I don’t have any outstanding works, but I have done a lot of weird things.
Just take today for example, she was originally filming in a costume drama crew, an online IP, which has been widely discussed, so it will be no problem for her to become a little famous in the future.
But when she heard that Cheng Shangyu was back from a business trip, she left the entire crew and ran back to see Cheng Shangyu.
When Sister Tu heard this, her blood pressure soared and she almost vomited blood.
Dai Li felt very sympathetic towards Sister Tu. If she were in her place, she would also be angry. If her assistant was so unreliable, she would fire him immediately.
What Sister Tu said makes sense. They should stop torturing each other, because she can't act either, and she may not be able to do the original owner's job in the entertainment industry.
It might be better to terminate the contract early.
Dai Li casually asked, "How much is the termination fee?"
In a word, she successfully angered Sister Tu again.
"Do you really want to terminate the contract early? Your family has hundreds of millions of dollars, is it a mountain of gold or silver? Or are you a princess from some Middle Eastern royal family who has been exiled to the common people, and I am so blind that I didn't recognize you?"
Dai Li:......
As an agent, she is quite humorous in her sarcasm.
"If you don't have a mountain of gold and silver at home, not hundreds of millions, but only the few cents you earn, you still want to donate to the company for charity? I'll give you the skin off."
After Sister Tu’s explanation, she finally knew what contract the original owner had signed.
The original owner was careless and didn't pay attention to the details of the contract at all.
The original owner signed a five-year agency contract with the company, and the termination fee was ten times his net worth.
There is also a gambling agreement, which requires the company to ensure that resources are given priority to Party B, and Party B promises to earn 500 million in net profit for Party A's company within five years. If it fails to earn that much, Party B will compensate Party A with 10% of the profit it deserves, which is 50 million.
Based on the original owner's business capabilities, he was still far from the 500 million target.
She doesn't earn much, but she spends money generously. After four years in the industry, she has saved 12,783.12 yuan in her card, both in small and large amounts.
The original owner's debt suddenly fell on Dai Li's shoulders.
If it was the original Dai Li, tens of millions of liquidated damages and termination fees would not be a problem at all. She could receive a large amount of patent royalties from various countries every year.
But now she only has 12,783.12 yuan on her.
Sister Tu said with a tone of disappointment: "Think about how good your looks are. When I signed you four years ago, I knew you'd be a big hit. But ever since you started, you've been vying for men's favor. If you had focused on your work, would you have ended up like this?"
The original owner's goal of entering the entertainment industry was very simple. She saw Jiang Yanxin entering the industry, so she also signed with the company just to surpass Jiang Yanxin.
"What's so good about that bastard named Cheng? Look at your relationship with him. Has he ever helped you in your career? Has he ever given you resources? He's quite generous in giving resources to others."
Sister Tu became angrier and angrier as she spoke, as if she wanted to tear the love-brained original owner and Cheng Shangyu apart from the air, and then scatter their ashes together.
Dai Li nodded in agreement: "There is nothing good about it, so I moved out of their house."
She paused and narrated calmly: "I will never go back to live there again."
Sister Tu on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment: "You are not lying to me, are you?"
How could a person who has been obsessed with love for more than ten years change his personality overnight?
Dai Li: "I'm in the company's apartment now."
Sister Tu was so shocked that she couldn't say a word for a long time. She muttered to herself outside the dark window.
"The sun rose from the west today, and you actually moved into an apartment?"
Dai Li couldn't tell Sister Tu that she had changed her body, as the other party might think she was crazy.
She tilted her head and thought for a moment: "... Maybe it was a sudden realization? There's no need to waste your time and youth on a man?"
Sister Tu looked so relieved that she almost cried for joy.
"Daidai, you finally woke up and realized that stinky men are not worth it. I am very relieved. From now on, just follow me steadily and I will help you build your career."
"So what if it's only a year? I can still help you complete the contract targets. This time, you have to fight for me. Let's make a big splash and show the rest of the company!"
At the end of her speech, Sister Tu gritted her teeth, and it was obvious that she was holding back a lot of anger.
Sister Tu also has an agreement with the company. In the agent industry, ability is valued the most. Only those who can bring artists to success have the capital to start their own company. If they cannot, they will be eliminated and will do odd jobs in the company in the future.
Because of the weird original owner, Sister Tu’s future in the company is almost hopeless, and there are countless people who laugh at them behind their backs.
Dai Li does not have the self-confidence of Sister Tu. She has spent almost the past half of her life staying in the laboratory, has never accepted any interviews, and does not like to appear in public. The entertainment industry is a very unfamiliar industry for her.
If she were to take the stage, she might not be as good as the original owner.
In order to prevent Sister Tu from having too high expectations of her, Dai Li could only give Sister Tu a shot of prevention in advance.
"I will try my best, but it doesn't matter if I really can't become popular. I will have a way when the time comes..." I will sell patents to support you.
Before she could finish her words, Sister Tu spitted several times: "Don't say unlucky words, you have to be angry!"
Having said that, Sister Tu was also quite worried when she thought about the current situation.
"You ran away from the set of 'Yi Danqing' without a word. The director was so angry that he said he would replace you no matter what. The company has already arranged for Ye Zheng to take your role. There have been no announcements about you recently."
Dai Li didn't say anything, because at this time she had already used the original owner's computer to log into the National Intellectual Property Patent Network.
Everything in the entertainment industry is unknown, popularity and traffic are just fleeting. It is better to apply for a patent first to have a stable job.
Sister Tu took her silence as guilt and comforted her, "Don't worry. I heard the company is discussing a new script recently. I'll help you get it. Just use this break to get yourself in shape. We must work hard on our new job and strive to make a big splash!"
After hanging up the phone, Dai Li's fried rice noodles had gone cold.
She is not picky about food and can finish a box of cold fried rice noodles.
After dinner, she also figured out the patent application materials and procedures in this world. It was basically the same as her original world. The only difference was that it took less time. She could get a patent certificate in as little as three months.
After throwing the empty lunch box into the trash can, she began to prepare relevant written documents such as the instructions and their summaries.
She still considered it for a while before choosing the project.
After evaluating the level of global technological development, she selected several feasible projects from her numerous patents.
The first batch of projects she selected included more than ten patents, including constant temperature materials, artificial gills, gastrointestinal endoscopic capsules and physiological analgesics.
These are both low-difficulty and widely used technologies.
She was extremely efficient and submitted the materials in just two days.
The next step is to wait for approval and get the certificate.
During this period, news also came from Sister Tu.
But it's not good news.
Sister Tu had an argument with someone at the company.
To be precise, the quarrel reached the boss.
Dai Li rushed to the company. The entire office floor was originally very harmonious, but when it saw her coming, it became eerily quiet.
Against this backdrop, Sister Tu's voice coming from the president's office was unusually clear.
Just by standing at the office door, one can clearly hear what Sister Tu is arguing with others.
"We agreed that Dai Dai would be given priority in selecting the company's resources. Director Zhao, why did you arbitrarily give the audition opportunity to someone else?"
"Sister Tu, I'm being unfairly accused. Isn't your Dai Li on the set of 'Remembering Painting'? The shoot is taking three months. How can she have time to take on other roles?"
"The second female lead in 'Remembering Painting' has been replaced by Ye Zheng. I don't believe that Director Zhao didn't know. If you really didn't know anything, you should reflect on whether you have done your job well."
"I do know that Ye Zheng has been replaced in 'Remembering Painting', but the auditions for the others have already been scheduled. I can't just ask them to stand up the crew at the last minute. Not everyone is as famous as your Dai Li. Mr. Yuan, please judge for yourself. What did I do wrong?"
Yuan Heng is the boss of Huiyao Media. He seldom comes to the company. Today he originally came to the company to reconcile accounts, but as soon as he arrived he was forced to watch a verbal fight.
Sister Tu: "Besides the audition opportunity, there are also two endorsement opportunities and a magazine cover shoot. Why didn't you notify me?"
Director Zhao spread his hands and shrugged: "The brand likes us, there's nothing I can do."
Sister Tu sneered, "Do you think I know nothing? You secretly intercepted the resources and only brought your own people. Of course, the brand had no choice but to choose your people."
Director Zhao's little trick was exposed and his face turned slightly embarrassed.
He explained to Yuan Heng with a smile: "I didn't secretly intercept the resources. These two ads are not for Dai Li. They are both domestic brands. One is a down jacket and the other is a bowel cleansing tea. Dai Li will definitely not be interested in them."
Sister Tu rolled her eyes: "This is the first time I know that the criteria for our Dai Dai's job selection is set by you. Should I thank you for helping us make our own decision?"
Yuan Heng, as Huiyao's boss, never expressed his opinion from beginning to end. But Sister Tu has been dealing with him for many years and knows that his silence means he tacitly approves Director Zhao's actions.
This is not a good sign.
With Yuan Heng's acquiescence this time, Dai Li will probably find it difficult to get good resources in the future.
Sister Tu stopped arguing with Director Zhao and turned to face Yuan Heng seriously.
"I know Dai Dai's contract has less than a year left. The company doesn't see any hope for her and doesn't want to waste resources on her any more. But I promised the company that we will work hard in the future. I hope President Yuan and the company can give us another chance. We will definitely not let the company down. I firmly believe that Dai Dai will be a big hit in this final year!"
Director Zhao: "You make it sound so easy. You've been struggling for four years and haven't become popular yet. How can you become popular in the last year?"
Finally, he murmured quietly, "No matter how good the resources are, she won't cherish them. In the end, they will all be wasted."
The sound was not loud, but in the quiet office, the other two people could still hear it clearly.
Sister Tu glanced at Director Zhao.
He finally spoke out his little thoughts.
Yuan Heng's expression seemed to agree with Director Zhao.
Sister Tu gritted her teeth and said cruelly, "Boss Yuan, I know that no matter what promises I make now, they will be useless. How about this? Give us one more chance. If we still can't make it this time, we will never ask the company for resources again."
As soon as Sister Tu finished speaking, Dai Li knocked on the door twice and pushed it open, breaking the situation between the three of them.
Three pairs of eyes turned to the person who was talking about this.
Director Zhao was happy to watch the fun: "Let's ask the person involved what he thinks. It depends on whether Dai Li is willing."
Based on Director Zhao's understanding of Dai Li, if she is aware of her own abilities, she will definitely not be willing to gamble everything at once.
Because she will definitely lose everything.
Dai Li heard about 70% of what they were arguing about along the way and knew what they were arguing about.
She raised her eyebrows when she heard that. This was a good thing. She was not good at working in the entertainment industry to begin with. It didn't matter if she failed this time. It was just right for her to focus on research and development.
Dai Li nodded lightly: "Sure, no problem for me."
Her calm demeanor surprised everyone.
Director Zhao's mind raced, and he immediately said, "Boss Yuan, even if they agree, we can't let them choose any job. We should assign them a specific job so we can see their attitude."
After thinking for a moment, Yuan Heng nodded, looked at Dai Li and Sister Tu, and asked in a deep voice, "What do you think?"
Of course Sister Tu disagreed. Director Zhao, this old fox with a belly full of fat, must have some trap waiting for her.
However, before Sister Tu could speak, Dai Li agreed first: "No problem, I can do any job."
Director Zhao was overjoyed: "That's perfect. I have a variety show here, but I haven't decided on the cast yet. Why not let your Dai Li go?"
When Sister Tu heard it was a variety show, she was about to be happy, because variety shows are a good opportunity to show off her reputation.
As a result, when I took the document sent by Director Zhao and took a look at it, my eyes suddenly went dark.
A few big words were clearly written on the small screen - "Edison Made in Plain Situation".
Director Zhao said, "This is a science and technology program created by our Jinshi TV station. Even though it's a city-level station, the program will be broadcast on local TV stations. It's much more prestigious than online variety shows."
Sister Tu was so angry that her lungs were about to explode.
What reputation can a city-level station have? It can't be broadcast on satellite TV, and its audience is not wide. Only middle-aged and elderly people like to watch it.
Let’s take a look at the introduction of the column: “The stage of grassroots Edison”, “The collision of ideas between academics and the wild”, “Creating undefined technology”, “Everyone is a great inventor”.
Sister Tu seemed to have seen the banner of the program in a trance.
The rural area is a big stage, come if you have a dream.
Director Zhao was still enthusiastically introducing Sister Tu: "The TV station wants you to be mentors for the contestants. You don't need to come up with any technological inventions. Dai Li just needs to be a good vase in the program, just to make the show more interesting. There's no technical difficulty."
There's no way this kind of show could become popular. Director Zhao has such a vicious plan!
"Mr. Yuan..." Sister Tu looked at Yuan Heng again, hoping that he could mediate.
Unexpectedly, Dai Li next to him agreed immediately: "This program is good and suitable for me."
Sister Tu turned around in shock: "!"
Dai Li narrowed her eyes at her and smiled brightly: "I like it very much, really."
