Chapter 450 That's the real end.
Before the dormitory lights went out, Ye Ruoshu inexplicably took out that business card again.
Her mind conjured up images of handsome, beautiful, and successful celebrities in the entertainment industry, who were adored by all sorts of people, and a longing flickered in her eyes.
She fantasized about what it would be like to be a star, but is her social anxiety really suitable for acting?
The business card only has the person's name and number, and I don't know which company in the entertainment industry they belong to. What if they are a scammer?
But when I saw her at Chuangying Juli during the day, the employees all called her President Chen, so she shouldn't be a fraudster.
Even after the dormitory lights were turned off, she was still struggling with the business card in her hand.
In the end, I simply covered myself with the blanket and decided to wait until the weekend to go home and ask my parents for their opinion.
A week later, Shen Xuewei received the phone call she had been waiting for.
Ye Ruoshu agreed to sign a contract with Chaoxi Media, but on the condition that her mother also come to the company as an assistant.
When she goes to film a movie, her mother has to go with her.
This seemingly minor request was nothing to Shen Xuewei; her assistant was like her own mother, and she herself found her more convenient to use.
After both parties agreed on the terms, they signed the contract, and the 10-year brokerage contract came into effect.
Ye Ruoshu's mother, Jiang Wanjun, felt that her daughter had acted too impulsively; after all, it was a decade...
After signing the contract and returning home, Ye Ruoshu, still feeling hot-blooded, realized she had acted impulsively after Jiang Wanjun's words.
She clung to her mother's hand, somewhat frightened. "Mom, what should we do? The contract's already signed. What if... I get sold?"
Jiang Wanjun gently patted her hand to comfort her, "Don't be afraid, your mother is here."
"Don't you have President Shen's phone number? Call her and ask if you can terminate the contract..."
Ye Ruoshu's father, Ye Feng, interrupted her, "You two are treating this like a game, signing a contract and already wanting to terminate it. Nothing has happened yet, and you're just scaring yourselves."
Jiang Wanjun glared at him, "All you do is make sarcastic remarks. So what do you suggest we do?"
Ye Ruoshu looked at the new WeChat contact she had added today and hesitated:
"I have the WeChat of the staff member from Tide Media who is in contact with me. Should I ask him?"
Ye Feng said, "Regarding the contract, this staff member probably can't make the decision."
"Here's what we'll do. Since you were poached by the CEO of Tide Media, it means she values you quite a bit. Call her, but don't mention terminating your contract. First, ask her about her plans for your future work..."
Ye Ruoshu nodded and dialed Shen Xuewei's number.
The phone rang a few times before Shen Xuewei's voice came through, tinged with surprise.
"Hey, Ruochu, why are you calling me again so soon? Is there something you don't understand?"
Ye Ruoshu had been preparing her questions, but as soon as the call connected and Shen Xuewei's voice came through, she felt a little nervous.
In that moment of tension, my mind went blank, and I forgot what I wanted to ask.
As the saying goes, parents know their own daughter best.
Seeing Ye Ruoshu holding her phone, looking blank and stammering, unable to speak, one knew what was going on.
Jiang Wanjun sighed, "Xiao Shu, give the phone to your dad and let him talk to her."
Ye Ruoshu's father was a high school teacher who stood on the podium to give lectures every day, and he had seen far more big scenes than Ye Ruoshu had ever seen.
Ye Feng patted Ye Ruoshu's hair to comfort her, took her phone, and turned on the speakerphone.
"Hello, Mr. Shen, this is Ye Ruoshu's father, Ye Feng."
"It's like this, my son Xiaoshu is a bit careless. He might have been a little impulsive when signing the contract today, and there are still quite a few questions that haven't been clarified. Would it be convenient to discuss some of these issues now?"
When Shen Xuewei saw Ye Ruoshu signing the contract today, she was so quick to agree that she had thought it through before signing. It turns out she just hadn't quite processed it yet...
Now she's finally realized what's going on... Luckily, Shen Xuewei's company wasn't a scam, otherwise Ye Ruoshu wouldn't even know she'd been tricked.
But she's only 18 years old and still in college; what kind of social experience could she possibly have?
While the car was still on the road, Shen Xuewei gestured for Gan Shengnan to open the window a little before speaking.
"If there are any other questions you don't understand, feel free to ask me."
Ye Feng's expression relaxed a bit when he heard that the tone on the other end of the line was quite gentle.
"It's like this, my daughter Xiaoshu is only a freshman in college. If there's work scheduled by the company that clashes with her class..."
Faced with the concerns of the other party's parents, Shen Xuewei patiently explained:
“Mr. Ye, you’re overthinking this. Xiao Shu is only a freshman in college, and her studies should be her priority at this stage. We can talk about work later. By studies, I mean not only her courses at school, but also the courses she will need to learn as an actress in the future.”
"Dialogue, physical expression, and vocal skills are the basic professional abilities, as well as various acting techniques. The company will tailor an acting course for her based on her current situation."
"These are things she needs to learn outside of her regular school curriculum. In addition, she has to come to the company during winter and summer vacations to learn from acting teachers. If she passes the assessment, the company will arrange for her to try out for suitable roles..."
No one can become fat overnight. Even if Shen Xuewei values Ye Ruoshu highly, she won't throw all her resources at her to force her to rise to the top.
In her eyes, unless one is truly gifted and a born actor, it's impossible to be an actress.
Otherwise, one has to start from a supporting role and work their way up step by step. As for whether one can become the protagonist, that depends on one's own ability.
Besides, she's only 18 years old and just started university. She needs to finish her studies and get her graduation photo.
There's no need to rush if you want to get ahead.
If you finish your university studies well, you can market yourself as a high-IQ goddess in the future and gain some goodwill.
Xu Yue entered the entertainment industry too early and didn't keep up with her studies, which led to her mispronouncing a word during a variety show promotion, resulting in a flood of mockery on social media, with many calling her a hopeless illiterate...
It was only after Xu Yue's resurgence in popularity this year that Shen Xuewei discovered that Xu Yue actually had a knack for stirring up trouble.
Whenever she appears, everything—good or bad, praise or criticism—appears at the same time.
Shen Xuewei and Xu Yue both knew that Heyu Century was involved in this.
However, these rumors and unsubstantiated allegations did not have a significant impact on Xu Yue. Instead, they brought her more exposure and helped maintain her popularity.
Hearing that Tide Media didn't plan to have Ye Ruoshu film so soon, but instead wanted to arrange for her to study first, the Ye family of three breathed a sigh of relief.
After asking several more important questions, I finally felt completely relieved.
After ending the call, Ye Feng commented, "This is a respectable company and its CEO."
He looked at Ye Ruoshu and said earnestly, "Xiaoshu, now that you've signed the contract, work hard at this company from now on."
"Take advantage of the fact that you don't have much to learn in your first year of college and make the most of all the courses the company has arranged for you."
"Wanjun, aren't you her assistant now? Keep a close eye on her and don't let her slack off. Also, try to interact with others more often when you go out. You're the type to stay silent when you're out; how will you become an actress in the future?"
Jiang Wanjun then looked at Ye Ruoshu and asked, "Xiaoshu, what do you think?"
What else could Ye Ruoshu think? Of course she thought her parents were right.
She chose this path herself, she signed the contract herself, and she chose to become an actress herself; she has to learn everything she needs to learn.
Otherwise, if you sign with a company but can't pass muster any acting skills on set, and are eventually returned to the production team, that would be a real disaster.
