Zhang Tongzhou's eyes fell on her heaving chest for a moment, and he raised an eyebrow.
"If Miss Lü has any further requests, please let me know, and we can discuss it further." He personally made coffee for Shen Wangshu and Lü Ke and pushed it in front of them.
Having witnessed Zhou Chen's misdeeds, Shen Wangshu wouldn't just drink anything. She smiled, shook her head, and said, "I don't have any demands, it's just that the contents of this contract are too good for me."
She smiled, tapped her bone china coffee cup, and said gently, "I can't accept something for nothing. I know my place, and I can't accept this kind of contract." She was extremely rational, showing none of the elation one might expect from a minor star suddenly rising to fame, which immediately earned her a hint of admiration from Zhang Tongzhou.
“Miss Lü, you’re too kind. You have great potential and deserve this contract.” He paused, met Shen Wangshu’s charming eyes, and said somewhat guiltily.
What a perceptive young lady.
However, he was determined to sign Shen Wangshu, after all, President Shen was also waiting with predatory eyes. Although he felt very sorry for this intelligent young lady, Zhang Tongzhou still smiled and said, "Miss Lü's acting skills are very good. The drama you starred in, 'The Rich Mother-in-Law and the Rich Mom'..."
Seeing that Shen Wangshu Yanhong's lips twitched, he couldn't help but twitch his own lips as well, and said while lowering his head to cover it up, "I've watched it several times, and I'm deeply impressed by Miss Lü's acting skills. The reason you didn't stand out before was because you didn't get strong support."
He said in a somewhat seductive tone, "With the strong support of Starlight Entertainment, you will soon make a name for yourself."
"Which play does Mr. Zhang like to watch?" Shen Wangshu choked up and asked with difficulty.
You really can't judge a book by its cover!
"I love it!" Zhang Tongzhou said firmly, clutching his chest.
He had the air of an elite, speaking with absolute certainty. Shen Wangshu looked at this man, whose refined manners reminded her of the adjective "a wolf in sheep's clothing," and frowned, saying, "I still need to think about it."
“Don’t even think about it.” Zhang Tongzhou glanced casually at a small mahogany door to the side and said with a smile, “Ms. Lü, you’ve seen it too. This contract doesn’t restrict your freedom in any way. If you’re worried about anything going wrong, you can terminate the contract at any time.” He paused again, deeply impressed that the dignified general manager of Starlight Entertainment had become such a smooth talker, and said earnestly, “If you’re worried, we can waive the termination fee. You can leave whenever you want. That’s my sincerity towards Ms. Lü.”
"Even A-list celebrities don't get this kind of treatment, do they?" Lu Ke couldn't help but ask.
“None of them have Miss Lü’s potential!” Zhang Tongzhou said decisively.
Which of those A-list celebrities has won Mr. Shen's favor? That's what you call a potential star!
"I don't want to be typecast." Shen Wangshu paused for a moment, then suddenly said, thinking of Zhang Tongzhou's impression of her acting skills.
“…Okay.” If not a vixen, what else could he play? Zhang Tongzhou was silent for a moment, then, feeling that this was a topic that President Shen should be concerned about, he nodded decisively and said.
"I hope Mr. Zhang will continue to guide me in the future." Shen Wangshu used his legal experience accumulated over several lifetimes to carefully read through the contract. Seeing that it contained clauses that were all in his favor and that he could terminate the contract unconditionally at any time, he breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the pen to sign his name.
Although Starlight Entertainment was overly enthusiastic towards her, she scrutinized Zhang Tongzhou for a long time. His eyes were very clear and did not contain any malice towards her. Moreover, besides Starlight Entertainment, what other company would be so enthusiastic towards a minor star like her?
She signed her name, and watched as Zhang Tongzhou quickly signed and stamped his name as well. They each kept a copy, and then she smiled.
"So, let's talk about the work ahead?" Zhang Tongzhou's face already showed a friendly smile.
He quickly put the contract away, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
With Lü Rong's contract, President Shen's rumored additional 100 million should also be in his account.
Therefore, Zhang Tongzhou looked at Shen Wangshu with even more amiable eyes, almost as if he were looking at the God of Wealth.
Heaven knows why President Shen would take a fancy to a minor celebrity and even hide in his office to spy on her.
"What are your plans, Mr. Zhang?" Shen Wangshu asked with a smile.
“Since we’re family, let’s not stand on ceremony.” Zhang Tongzhou pushed up his glasses, revealing a shrewd look, and said with a smile, “Xiao Rong… can I call you Xiao… never mind, I’ll just call you Miss Lü.”
He felt a chill run down his spine from the sudden, unexpected prickling sensation from the corner, and resolutely rejected the more intimate address. Looking up at the ceiling and crossing his fingers, he said, "Your image is quite different from what the audience likes these days." The audience now prefers the pure, kind, and selfless type. With Lü Rong's face, even if she were to play this role, people would still doubt whether she was truly innocent.
That would have been a complete disaster for her image, but Zhang Tongzhou was relieved that Lü Rong had been in the industry for many years without any scandals.
It needs to be clean and clear so that it will be easier to operate later.
“You should take a break recently. There’s a drama coming up in a few days, and we need a third female lead.” Zhang Tongzhou looked directly at Shen Wangshu, and seeing that she wasn’t unhappy at all, he was pleased with her composure. He then smiled sincerely and said, “Although it’s the third female lead, the role is quite important, and the character is outstanding. If you act well, it won’t be difficult to leave an impression on the audience.” He paused slightly, then continued gently, “The director of this drama is Song Yihe, and it’s a very high-quality production.” Song Yihe is one of the top television drama directors in China, and every year his dramas launch the careers of many stars.
