"The contract period needs to be shortened."
Li Ai cast a disdainful look at him and said loudly: "Ji Wan, you are currently just an 18th-tier star. You are not qualified to negotiate terms."
"I know. I'm only signing for three years."
"Ji Wan, don't be ungrateful. Others can sign for ten years, why do you only sign for three years? Who do you think you are?" Li Ai looked Ji Wan up and down many times with a look of disdain on her face.
"I have a lot of artists like you. What special conditions do you dare to negotiate?"
"I don't care." Xu Jing leaned back on the sofa. "It's fine if you're put on ice, but it'll be harder for you to explain. If I'm right, the higher-ups are putting a lot of pressure on you, right?"
"So what?"
"That's a huge difference." Xu Jing pointed at the loophole in the contract with a pen and said, "Compared to the company, I'm like a pebble against a rock. I'm really overestimating my capabilities. But the loophole in the contract is so huge that I could get a lot of money if I sue. Compared to being frozen, Sister Li, you're under much more pressure than I am. You don't have many decent artists under your wing. If you don't pass the year-end assessment and your resources are downgraded, can you still maintain your status as a top agent?"
"You..." Li Ai was furious, but she had to admit that Ji Wan was right. She really needed to cultivate a good image. "What are you going to give me? Just based on the third female role you auditioned for? Honestly, I saw your role, it's mediocre, nothing special about it. Thinking you could rise to prominence with her is a pipe dream."
"A big production, Director Yang's masterpiece, airing weekly, and you're still lacking exposure? Sister Li, you need to have some confidence. How about this? Let's postpone the contract signing. Once I become famous, you can focus on training me."
It was like Xu Jing had pledged his loyalty to her. Li Ai weighed the pros and cons and asked, "What if nothing happens?"
"Then it's a ten-year agreement."
"Okay." Li Ai made the final decision. "That's it. If you need anything, go to Xiao Zhao. She will help you solve your daily problems."
Li Ai glanced at him with disdain and asked something off topic. "How's your contact with Mr. Jiang from HG going?"
"Oh, he's paid for it." Xu Jing said nonchalantly, "At least I don't have to worry about the money."
"Grab as many resources as you can while you're young. Also, follow the company account and manage your Weibo account to keep it up and running." Li Ai knew Ji Wan's true identity. When he stood up, she stared at his butt for a long time and muttered quietly, "Is selling this any good?"
Whether it works or not can only be known after the person has tried it.
Everything you say now is empty talk.
Xu Jing opened his personal account, and the gender was clearly visible in the account column: transgender. Good, so he wouldn't have to make up stories.
The original owner’s Weibo account already had 30,000 followers, which made him not even a celebrity, but just a nobody.
After Xu Jing posted a video of himself exercising online, he received a lot of attention.
"Shashasha, put on more clothes and be careful not to catch a cold."
"My baby, don't listen to the people above. If you want it, take more pictures and watch it."
"Wanbao, you finally know how to do business. Do you know how I've been living these past five years? jpg of tears streaming down my face. If you have any behind-the-scenes stories about the Oiran, please be sure to send them to me."
Xu Jing contacted Director Li and asked for a behind-the-scenes video of the courtesan and posted it on his Weibo account.
As a result, the original 30,000 fans increased to 20,000 in one day.
Although Ji Wan was @ed during the official promotion, he never paid attention and the popularity gradually faded.
Now Xu Jing has taken the initiative to claim the post and followed the official account, which has ushered in a wave of dream collaborations. Fans of the official account immediately went to Xu Jing's video and decisively chose to follow him.
Director Li called just in time. After a few pleasantries, Director Li asked, "Do you have a schedule? I have a film that needs a female lead role. Would you like to come for an interview?"
"What role? Director Li, please send it to me."
"Okay, I'll send you a WeChat message later. Girl, you're going to be famous."
"That's totally unrelated. Director Li, thank you for the compliment. I'll go see it later."
"Shark Police" is a weekly drama that is filmed and broadcast at the same time. Xu Jing plays the third female role in it. She has few scenes and the filming was completed in one month.
What he lacks most nowadays is exposure. No matter whether it is a bad drama or a good drama, only capital chooses him, and he has no right to make trouble.
It was precisely because of his tact that Xu Jing won the favor of Director Yang and Director Li. The former gave him the opportunity to audition for a TV series that was broadcast on Star TV, and the latter kept him in mind for both dramas, even thinking about him before the current drama was finished.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Jing received a message.
"Peerless Beauty," a historical inspirational drama. The fourth female lead is a frail woman who never leaves her house. She has a congenital heart condition and cannot stand any stimulation. She is the male lead's ideal lover, but unfortunately dies early, with only one or two episodes to play.
Director Li was attracted by Xu Jing's face and decided to let him play the role of Bai Yueguang.
The script only had a few sentences, and Xu Jing didn't have much time to spare, so he agreed to go for an interview with Director Li the day after tomorrow.
After finishing the work with Director Li, Xu Jing went directly to the set of "Shark Cop" to take the final photos.
Xiao Zai Yu used a public dressing room, and two makeup artists were busy as hell. After the actors changed their clothes on their own, they applied makeup on their faces as if they were going to a show, and then went to the studio for shooting.
When Xu Jing arrived, the makeup artist had already finished applying makeup to most people. Seeing Xu Jing coming, the makeup artist's eyes lit up and said, "Are you Ji Wan?"
"Do you recognize me?"
"Yes, I've seen the drama you acted in, and you acted very well." Makeup artist Xiao Wang took a makeup brush and put makeup on Xu Jing. After a few brushes, a simple look came out.
Modern dramas, especially for unknown actors like Xu Jing, have very simple makeup. They don't emphasize specific characteristics, and are basically based on the same template.
Xiao Wang used a few simple modifications based on Xu Jing's facial shape to create the simple and capable look of the female bodyguard. Staring at the breathtakingly beautiful face in the makeup mirror, Xiao Wang swallowed his saliva.
It's easy to dream after working in this industry for a long time. It's all about handsome men and beautiful women. After seeing them for a long time, people get tired of seeing them. When Xiao Wang felt hopeless in life, he didn't expect to see such a beautiful woman. "Teacher Ji, can you take a photo with me?"
"Of course." Xu Jing said with a smile: "Your makeup skills are quite good."
She smiled.
With a "whoosh", all the blood in her body rushed to her head. If this continued, she would faint.
"What's wrong with you?" His slender fingers, with distinct knuckles, rested on her forehead. The warm touch made Xiao Wang breathe faster. "Teacher, please stop releasing your charm. I can't bear it anymore."
"Oh." Xu Jing withdrew his hand and said coldly: "Are you awake now?"
"Yeah." Xiao Wang nodded rapidly, took out his phone, and pressed the selfie button. "Teacher, I'll follow your Weibo. From today on, I'm your fan."
So damn handsome. How can someone be both handsome and beautiful? Oh my god, how many people would be captivated if she were on stage?
