"Li Mengjiao is really getting a good deal on the album. Xu Mei, what do you think? As for Qin Yi... well, I'm just bringing up something irrelevant. Don't blame me for being nosy. Qin Yi doesn't cherish you, so are you really going to hang yourself on his tree? Knowing that you're in Hunan Province, Young Master Cao called me several times."
Fu Jing said cautiously, "You let others snatch it away just because you didn't want to use connections. I don't believe Yuan Fenghui fell in love with Li Mengjiao at first sight. Maybe Li Mengjiao gave her something in private."
Xu Mei participated in a commercial performance and the company settled part of her performance fee.
Her commercial performance quotation was not high, and the bulk of it had to be shared with the company. Moreover, without Qin Yi's help in buying clothes, Xu Mei's expenses in this regard were relatively high, and she did not have much spare money at her disposal.
Giving gifts to Pan Li is within Xu Mei's affordability.
She couldn't afford to give gifts to the producers.
The road to stardom seems to be within reach, but Xu Mei cannot avoid the fact that she is in dire financial straits.
Xu Mei has not forgotten Qin Yi, but as Fu Jing said, when she needs Qin Yi, Qin Yi is not around at all!
Qin Yi doesn't cherish her, but there are many people who do.
"If Master Cao calls again, you should be more careful with him. I've accepted the commercial performance he mentioned before."
He attended the dinner, drank a lot of wine, and even broke up with Qin Yi because of it. Why shouldn't he accept the commercial performance that Cao Shao promised?
…
Stimulated, Xu Mei secretly lowered some of his bottom lines.
Li Mengjiao had no idea.
Even if I knew it, I wouldn't feel any psychological burden.
She didn't intend to bully Xu Mei. Xu Mei's singing performance was not good, and it was not Li Mengjiao's turn to be responsible.
After selecting the album songs, Li Mengjiao went through all the songs with Yuan Fenghui. Yuan Fenghui knew that Li Mengjiao had to attend classes and would not have much time to come to Hunan Province to record songs. In response to Li Mengjiao's situation, Yuan Fenghui made many arrangements:
"The vocal teacher and dance teacher are going to Rongcheng to work with you."
“The music video for the album’s title song was also shot in Chengdu.”
"The company will rent a recording studio for you in Chengdu. If the recording is not good, you can come to Hunan Province."
"After the album is released, you only have to visit a few cities to promote it. Your base is in Chengdu. Chengdu is your home turf, so you must not give up."
"Anyway, just focus on your studies at school. I'll try to schedule all my work for the weekends. If there's anything I need your cooperation for, I'll let you know in advance!"
It is a great honor for an artist to work with Yuan Fenghui, as she is a very meticulous person.
Some people call Yuan Fenghui's style "strong", feeling that she is controlled everywhere and has no freedom.
Li Mengjiao, however, adapted very well.
Li Mengjiao wished that Yuan Fenghui could do all the trivial things besides singing!
One likes to control others, the other is heartless and doesn't mind being controlled as long as his bottom line is not crossed. Two people with such personalities are probably born to cooperate.
Mother Li thanked Yuan Fenghui again and again, and Wang Shuang was very polite to Yuan Fenghui.
Yuan Fenghui sent the three of them to the airport, and when she returned to the company she told General Guan that she wanted Li Mengjiao to act in an idol drama!
"Li Mengjiao will definitely become famous."
Yuan Fenghui gave General Guan a promise.
It's not that Mr. Guan doesn't believe in Yuan Fenghui's judgment. If Li Mengjiao had signed a contract with the company now, Mr. Guan would be willing to give up these resources. The problem is that Li Mengjiao and the company haven't signed a contract yet. Even if Li Mengjiao is covered with gold ingots, this cash cow is still floating in the air. If the company makes Li Mengjiao famous but she is signed away by a competitor, Mr. Guan will be so angry that his blood vessels will burst.
"I just told Xu Mei that I'll give her the resources for the idol drama—"
Mr. Guan tried to reason with Yuan Fenghui, but she wouldn't listen. "When it comes to producing albums, there are many talented people in mainland China. But when it comes to filming idol dramas, we really need to learn from Taiwan. Mr. Guan, I'm telling you the truth. Xu Mei can't play the leading female role. She's always so reserved and can't let go. The leading female role has to be someone like Li Mengjiao, who has audience appeal!"
The heroine of an idol drama doesn’t need to be very beautiful, but she must be popular with the audience.
Who watches idol dramas? Most of them are female audiences, from middle-aged aunts whose children have grown up to teenage girls in middle school. They will not like Xu Mei's type!
Mr. Guan was very firm in his stance and said that the female lead role was impossible unless Li Mengjiao signed a contract with the company.
Yuan Fenghui settled for the next best thing: "Then the second female lead will be fine."
Mr. Guan was embarrassed: "I want to give the role of the second female lead to Xu Mei."
Yuan Fenghui smiled and said, "Xu Mei has already signed a contract with the company. Why rush? If we don't put out some bait, we won't be able to catch Li Mengjiao."
This is not good.
Catch a little lamb and bully it?
Yuan Fenghui was not in a hurry. "Just wait until the album is released and see how well it sells before making a decision. Maybe by then, the second female lead might no longer be suitable for Li Mengjiao. You can leave the second female lead role to Xu Mei."
In what kind of situation would the second female role not be suitable for Li Mengjiao to play? Of course, Li Mengjiao has already signed a contract with the company, and Yuan Fenghui wants to push her to play the female lead!
Mr. Guan smiled and said, "Then I really have to wait and see."
As soon as Li Mengjiao and her two companions landed, Wang Shuang turned on his phone and received a call from Wen Ying. He didn't know what was said on the other end of the phone. Wang Shuang nodded "hmm", and after hanging up, he told Li Mengjiao and her daughter that he had to go to the night snack street first:
"Yang Xi, the man Wen Ying hired, has caught the person who caused trouble for the Shrimp King. I'm going over to take a look now!"
