Chapter 269: Women's Competitiveness

As Phantom arrived at the Banyan Tree Hotel parking lot.

Gu Hai got out of the car first and stopped the doorman who was about to step forward.

After waiting for a while, Qi Sheng opened the car door and walked into the hotel calmly.

The doorman was about to close the car door when he suddenly heard a weak voice coming from inside.

"Wait a moment."

"Uh, okay."

The doorman was a little surprised and quickly opened the car door as wide as possible.

The woman inside was wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses on her nose.

She is a little petite, but still has a good figure.

"Thanks."

The woman nodded slightly and got out of the car with some difficulty.

From the other side some shaky walked to the posture.

It is not difficult to judge that he must have suffered a lot in the car.

Tsk, it’s not easy to be a beauty! …

Banyan Tree Hotel, Ballroom.

This is not the first time that the crew of "Nothing But Thirty" has come to Banyan Tree.

The previous scene where the three sisters had fun together after Zhong Xiaoqin’s divorce was filmed at Banyan Tree.

Although no advertising fees were paid, Banyan Tree provided the presidential suite free of charge for the filming.

Including all the expenses of today's wrap party, it is also counted as part of the advertising costs.

Otherwise, Zhang Xiaobo would not have dared to choose this place for the wrap-up banquet.

There are hundreds of people in the crew eating and drinking, plus accommodation and spa services.

I'm afraid it will cost several million.

"Mr. Qu, thank you Banyan Tree Group for your strong support to our Nothing But Thirty crew!"

Zhang Xiaobo thanked Qu Man very politely with a somewhat attentive smile.

It was Lin Meishan who gave him the advice.

This beautiful Ms. Qu holds a very high position in her boss' heart.

Gu Pan from their crew is already considered a stunning beauty.

But this Mr. Qu is better than Gu Pan.

With this kind of looks, she can easily become a hit in the entertainment industry.

Unfortunately, the man behind Mr. Qu is their boss.

Money is something that you will naturally never lack.

I can’t say how much you want, but it’s not far off.

"Director Zhang, you're too polite. This is part of the sponsorship content."

"If you need anything, just contact us at any time."

Qu Man smiled faintly, having already adapted very well to her current position.

There are hundreds of people in the entire hotel, and they are all managed by her.

If you need a background, you have the background; if you need the ability, you have the ability.

As long as she wants, Banyan Tree Group can be handed over to her to manage in the future.

"OK."

Zhang Xiaobo watched Qu Man leave and began to invite the crew members to take their seats.

The main actors were, of course, putting on makeup in the room upstairs.

Even though it was just a wrap-up party, there was still a lot of competition.

…

11th floor, Supreme Bund River View Suite.

When Mao Xiaotong walked into the room, she saw her agent and assistant with anxious faces.

"Xiaotong, how was your conversation with Mr. Qi?"

Agent Wang Bing came over and asked expectantly.

"Yeah, it's OK."

Mao Xiaotong saw that Wang Bing wanted to say something, so he quickly made a pause gesture.

"I'm going to take a shower first. I'm feeling a little unwell."

After saying that, he went into the bathroom under the strange gazes of Wang Bing and the assistant.

"Yueyue, go buy some medicine now."

Wang Bing sighed and gave instructions to his assistant Xing Yue.

"Buy medicine?"

Xing Yue was stunned for a moment, "That kind of medicine?"

"What else?"

Wang Bing rolled her eyes at Xing Yue: "Xiaotong's career has just started to take off, so we can't let anything unexpected happen."

"Oh, then I'll go buy it now."

Xing Yue left in a hurry.

I’m afraid that if I delay for too long, it will be too late.

When Mao Xiaotong came out and saw that Xing Yue was gone, she wiped her wet hair and felt a little curious.

"Where's Yueyue?"

"She went to buy medicine."

Wang Bing helped Mao Xiaotong blow her hair naturally.

"Buy medicine?"

Mao Xiaotong couldn't help but ask with some concern: "Yueyue is sick?"

Wang Bing and Xing Yue are among her few trustworthy friends.

When she left her previous company, both of them were determined to follow her and go out on their own.

It is not an exaggeration to say that they are as close as sisters.

"I bought it for you."

Wang Bing skillfully brushed aside Mao Xiaotong's long hair, with a somewhat helpless tone in his voice.

"If I'm not mistaken, you guys have already done that, right?"

"Um…"

Mao Xiaotong was extremely embarrassed and felt like she was socially dead in front of her sisters.

"I knew it. Jiang Shuying arrived an hour early."

Wang Bing sighed, "Xiaotong, I understand that it's not easy for you, but there's no need for us to treat ourselves like this. When Nothing But Thirty is aired, it will at least become a little popular, and maybe more good scripts will come to us."

"Even if a book is delivered, it's impossible for her to be the heroine, right?"

Mao Xiaotong smiled and said, "Bingbing, I have already promised Mr. Qi that I will become a signed artist of Universal Entertainment. He agreed that you and Yueyue will continue to be my agent and assistant."

"Didn't you say you would never sign with an agency again?"

Wang Bing was stunned for a moment and asked in disbelief.

"The past was the past, and the present is the present."

Mao Xiaotong shrugged and said in a relaxed tone: "It's too tiring to fight alone, and I don't have good resources. Mr. Qi gave me a contract for a first-line artist, and a female lead resource with an annual production budget of over 100 million yuan. I would be stupid to refuse."

"The heroine of an A-grade production?"

Wang Bing was also shocked.

This is a top-level resource that a small workshop like theirs could not even dream of.

In the film and television industry, the higher the production budget of a project, the more intense the competition will naturally be.

With a budget of 50 million, it is only considered a B-level low-cost web drama and doesn’t even have a chance to be broadcast on TV.

The budget reached 100 million, which is considered an A-level production and an upper-middle-sized production.

Just like the crew of “Nothing But Thirty”, the biggest star is Jiang Shuying, a second-tier actress.

The budget reaches 150 million, which is an A+ production.

It is considered a key project of the three major platforms and will be promoted with relative emphasis.

A budget of 250 million is considered a true S-level production.

The three major platforms will do their best to promote the film, and all the actors will be popular stars.

The budget reaches 350 million, which is an S+ level large project.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The three major platforms will spare no expense in promotion, and all kinds of hot searches will be bought up.

Not to mention the heroine of an A-grade production.

They had never dared to even dream of playing the leading role in a B-grade, low-budget production.

Even in low-budget web dramas, how many heroines don’t have financial backers?

"Then your decision is correct. We won't have to ask for help from others anymore."

Wang Bing also strongly supports Mao Xiaotong's decision.

Given a choice, who would want to act like a grandson, begging for smiles everywhere?

"Is it?"

Mao Xiaotong received Wang Bing's affirmation and a smile appeared on her face.

I also have more confidence in my future.

"However, Xiaotong, you should be more careful and try to choose a safe day."

"Taking medicine all the time is bad for your health and will make you gain weight easily."

Wang Bing's kind reminder ended up making Mao Xiaotong quite embarrassed.

"He said it was okay and told me not to take medicine."

Mao Xiaotong said desperately: "If he really has it, can he still ignore me?"

"Well…"

Wang Bing thought about it and nodded.

"That's true. With Mr. Qi's status, he must be confident to say this to you."

"But, Xiaotong, do you really intend to follow him like this without knowing the truth?"

Wang Bing carefully studied Qi Sheng's wealth.

The net worth revealed on the surface alone is at least tens of billions.

If he waits until his companies go public, his net worth might exceed 100 billion.

For super-rich people of this level, any little bit of food between their fingers is enough to fill them up.

"Why think so much? Anyway, my career has just started to take off. I can't think about getting married in the short term. Let's talk about it later."

Mao Xiaotong looked a little depressed, and it was obvious that she didn't think so.

In terms of appearance, she is far inferior to Gu Pan.

Thinking too much will only bring trouble to yourself.

"Ahem, blame me for talking too much."

Wang Bing obviously realized this and quickly changed the subject to discuss the makeup for the evening.

The three heroines gathered together, and no one wanted to be outshined by the other.

When Xing Yue came back, she saw Mao Xiaotong had finished putting on makeup and was choosing clothes.

"Sister Xiaotong, eat quickly."

Xing Yue held a cup of warm water and handed the medicine to Mao Xiaotong eagerly.

"Thank you Yueyue."

Mao Xiaotong pretended to take the medicine, but actually held it in her palm.

While Xing Yue wasn't paying attention, he threw it into the trash can.

Seeing that Mao Xiaotong took the medicine, Xing Yue felt relieved.

Although she is just an assistant, she completely treats Mao Xiaotong as her close sister.

Having a child out of wedlock can be a huge blow to a female star's career.

At least for now, this kind of thing must not happen to Mao Xiaotong.

…

Mao Xiaotong came to the banquet hall with her agent and assistant.

Mao Xiaotong, wearing a silver sequined strapless dress, instantly attracted the attention of many men.

Not only does it perfectly highlight her shoulder curves, but exposing a large area of ​​her back makes her look extra sexy.

"Am I the first one to arrive?"

Mao Xiaotong thought Jiang Shuying and the others had arrived a long time ago.

I was surprised to see that there were still four empty seats at the main table.

"Hehe, those two families are waiting for you to arrive first."

Wang Bing was not surprised and had already guessed why the other two had not shown up.

“No wonder.”

Mao Xiaotong suddenly realized something and sat down at the main table in her high heels.

Right now, she has the lowest status and has no financial sponsor.

But this situation is probably only going to happen once.

"Sister Xiaotong, you are so beautiful today."

Several male actors at the main table offered compliments.

"Nothing But Thirty" is a typical female ensemble drama.

The male actors are all small-time stars who only serve as a foil.

Don't underestimate Mao Xiaotong, she is just a third-tier actress.

But in the eyes of these 18th-tier celebrities, he is already a big shot who needs to be supported.

"Xiaotong, I heard from Mr. Lin that you have also joined Universe Entertainment?"

Zhang Xiaobo sat on the left side of the main seat and greeted everyone with a friendly smile.

"Yes, I'll have to trouble Director Zhang to take care of me in the future."

Mao Xiaotong did not really regard herself as the boss's wife just because of her relationship with Qi Sheng. She remained as humble as before.

"You're welcome. We're all family."

Zhang Xiaobo smiled and waved his hand, "The quality of this drama is very good. I can guarantee that you will not regret it."

"I believe in Director Zhang, and I also believe that the hard work of our entire creative team will not be in vain."

Mao Xiaotong just spoke polite words without thinking.

After working in the industry for so many years, I can’t say I’m a veteran, but I’m not much different.

"Shu Ying is here!"

When Zhang Xiaobo saw Jiang Shuying, who was also dressed up, the corners of his mouth twitched.

Is it necessary to have such a grand ceremony for a wrap-up party? (End of this chapter)
