"Hey, are you still listening, Mr. Yang? Well, you don't need to feel too bad about it. I was just saying it casually."
Of course, if I could be given a few roles, preferably leading ones, I wouldn't care about this matter today.
Mr. Yang had already composed himself and was ready to speak.
After hearing Xu Lu say those words, he was speechless again.
I've given you a few characters, and you still want a main character?
You're dreaming!
After thinking for a moment, Boss Yang finally spoke:
"Actually, it's not a problem for me to get you a few roles, but the key is that the company isn't entirely under my control."
"We've given you so many resources, but the company's senior management has already raised some objections. You need to be aware of this situation..."
"What do you mean?" Xu Lu was stunned.
Boss Yang chuckled to himself, thinking, "So there are things you don't understand, huh? That's rare!"
"What does that mean? It means that the company has trained a lot of artists, and there aren't enough resources for everyone to share right now."
For example, the roles you played in the previous dramas were all resources I squeezed out from other artists.
Mr. Yang spoke eloquently, saying:
"As you know, other artists sign more stringent contracts, requiring them to cooperate fully with the company's arrangements and image management."
However, your contract is relatively lenient, and you are not subject to many company rules, so many people have objections to it.
Xu Lu thought about it and realized it made sense.
Anyone would be unhappy if they used another company's resources but didn't make any money for that company.
It seems that Boss Yang is indeed under some pressure, but she has managed to withstand it for the time being.
However, the reason Xu Lu signed the contract with the other party was precisely to avoid too many restrictions.
Otherwise, he might as well remain a self-taught actor, although that would mean fewer resources and a slower growth rate.
"Well, Mr. Yang, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up now."
Xu Lu suddenly spoke.
Fortunately, the caller, Mr. Yang, didn't have anything important to say, so he hung up the phone after hearing this.
Xu Lu muttered to himself, "..."
"Since Boss Yang has to bear the pressure from the company, it seems that we can't ask her for roles as often as we can in the future."
Fortunately, my options have broadened now, after all, I have the hundreds of millions I made selling chicken cups..."
That's right!
At this moment, Xu Lu suddenly thought of starting something new. Of course, he had to wait until his contract with the company expired before he could start doing it on a large scale.
Just as Xu Lu was lost in thought, a sound suddenly rang out from a slightly lower place not far in front of him.
"Um... Mr. Xu, I really didn't recognize your greatness last time."
I hope you will be magnanimous and not hold it against me. I, Li Mao, have come here today with the utmost sincerity.
Mr. Xu, if you do not accept my apology, I will kneel here forever.
The one who spoke was a large, fat figure kneeling in front of Xu Lu.
Upon closer inspection, the person kneeling was none other than Mr. Li, the manager of the Shanghai elevated highway.
The other person looked somewhat dejected, a stark contrast to the spirited person he had been when he was first seen.
It seems that the incident caused by Master Zhou has had a very bad impact on him.
At this moment, someone else spoke up, saying:
"Yes, Mr. Xu, President Li has also realized his mistake, and he came here specifically to kowtow and apologize to you."
It turned out that there was more than one person around Xu Lu at this moment.
However, since they had just seen him on the phone, none of the people who came to ask for his help dared to make a sound.
The one who spoke at this moment was General Manager Liu, who had previously used Boss Yang's connections to get Xu Lu to help.
Upon hearing this, Xu Lu laughed heartily and said:
"There's no need for kowtowing. I'm not a petty person, and I won't hold grudges over such trivial matters..."
Upon hearing this, Li Mao, who had been kneeling for quite some time, almost fainted.
You've been kneeling here for so long, and you're only now saying there's no need to kowtow? What were you doing before?
Leaving aside Mr. Li's inner turmoil, Xu Lu continued, saying:
"Okay, you guys go back first. I'll make time to go over there about the overpass."
Cancel all that mess you did before, and replace it with Master Wu's Nine Dragon Pillars. Contact me again when it's all set!
"Hey you, Mr. Li, right? Get up. I won't hold a grudge against you for offering me five thousand yuan to get rid of me!"
After hearing the first few sentences, the people in the room finally felt relieved.
But upon hearing the last half of the sentence, Mr. Li, who had just stood up, almost collapsed again.
She even said she wasn't petty and wouldn't hold grudges over trivial matters?
How come you remember so clearly what I said that day?
On the other hand, General Manager Liu, whose expression was initially relaxed with a hint of disappointment, now had his disappointment replaced by joy.
His previous disappointment stemmed from the belief that the guy surnamed Li had handled things well and there probably wouldn't be any major problems.
His delight came from the fact that although the problem was over, Mr. Xu did not have a good impression of this man surnamed Li.
Thinking of this, General Manager Liu nodded with a bright smile and said:
"Mr. Xu, we'll be leaving now, so as not to disturb you any longer!"
Xu Lu nodded.
They quickly saw off the beaming General Manager Liu, the dejected General Manager Li, and Tang Yu, who had only been there for a short while.
But before he could figure out what to do next, another call came in from an unknown number.
