Chapter 25: Invitation from Jazz
The response to "Thousands of Years" has been extremely good since the first day of its broadcast. People who were originally not optimistic about the show have turned against it.
After only one episode was aired, the popularity soared to the top of Weibo's hot searches, with "Thousands of Years" ranking first on the hot searches.
Director Lin and his team also struck while the iron was hot. One day, they instructed the editing team to edit more of the scenes that the audience discussed the most, such as the tyrant's initial attack on the minister, the King of Chu Xiang's calmness in the face of danger, and Su Zhongxian's stunning look back.
In the comment section, everyone was enthusiastically discussing their favorite clips. It can be said that the sudden popularity of this drama is closely related to the director and actors.
The show has generated such popularity after only one episode, and all entertainment companies have noticed it. Whoever gets there first will grab the money of the future.
The one that moves the fastest is none other than Yuexing Jazz. The celebrities in the two companies are equally famous, and whenever they compete for resources, people from these two companies are always present.
Fang Xin was surprised when he received the invitation to play the villain in the original script, but he thought about it and realized that in the entire script, only Jazz could compete with Yuexing.
Although he is a villain, he only appeared in the later period to compete for the protagonist's shou. Now he is a cannon fodder. For the sake of his own future, he does not want to mix with the protagonist's gong and shou. Signing a contract with Jazz is the best decision.
When he arrived at the cafe, someone waved to him.
"Hello, I'm Shen Yaojie."
Shen Yaojie has a high nose bridge, deep eyes, and amber pupils with a hint of exotic charm. He is taller than her and has an elegant and gentle temperament.
Fang Xin politely shook the other person's hand and nodded, "Hello, Mr. Shen, I'm Fang Xin."
"Since Mr. Fang is here, it means he is willing to understand, so I will just speak frankly."
Shen Yaojie invited Fang Xin to sit down and got straight to the point. Fang Xin nodded.
"The show 'Thousands of Years' that aired last night was pretty good. I watched it, and Mr. Fang's performance in it met our requirements, so we are interested in signing him to our Jazz."
"This is the contract I prepared." Shen Yaojie pushed the document on the table towards Fang Xin. "Of course, things are only valid after you have seen them."
His eyes were calm, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him, but he was sincere.
Fang Xin also sighed in his heart. The fact that he prepared the contract early showed that he was not a man of words.
Wu Tianming used his jealous sister to force him to renew his contract, not mentioning any benefits, but only the benefits he brought. Although Shen Yaojie was not a good person in the original script, he was definitely a top-notch figure at work.
Otherwise, how could Xu Shi'an have suffered at his hands?
Fang Xin took the contract, opened it and took a look at it. Every clause was clear and concise.
Shen Yaojie looked at Fang Xin's gradually furrowed brows and said, "If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."
When Fang Xin heard him say this, she immediately asked, "I have an agent... Now this company sees that the drama I starred in is very popular, and they want to renew the contract."
"They said if I didn't agree, it would be difficult for agents to make a living in this industry."
Fang Xin lowered his head and said, "I know I am not qualified to make any demands, but I will fully cooperate with all the work assigned to me by the company."
The other party was silent for a long time, and Fang Xin thought there was no hope. She looked up and found that Shen Yaojie had just put down his phone.
"I have asked your agent to contact her. As long as you are willing to sign a contract with us, we will do our best to help you solve the existing problems."
Fang Xin was flattered, her eyes brightened amazingly, "That's all for now, thank you Mr. Shen."
Then he thought about it again and said, "Can I give you an answer in a few days? I'll go back and discuss it with my agent."
Shen Yaojie nodded to show that he understood. After the two of them added each other's contact information, Shen Yaojie sent an electronic copy of the contract to Fang Xin alone.
After a brief discussion, the two men left, and Fang Xin also contacted his agent.
"What's wrong?"
"Sister Xian, Mr. Wu called me yesterday and asked me to renew my contract, but you also know... Mr. Wu has never paid much attention to me. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to get a good script at all."
Fang Xin said sincerely, "Now Jazz has contacted me and said that they can take you and me to Jazz together. What do you think?"
Chen Xian didn't rush to speak. Her eyes were slightly red and her voice was slightly choked.
"You still think of me, kid. You are my only artist. If I don't help you, who else should I help?"
Fang Xin felt relieved when he heard her say this. He thought Chen Yan was reluctant to leave her current company, but he didn't expect her to be so moved.
"I just met with Mr. Shen, and he said he had sent someone to contact you."
Chen Xian nodded, "Yes, I thought they were just trying to recruit me, but I didn't expect you to be the one behind it."
"I was about to compromise with Mr. Wu, but then I realized I couldn't just give in to him, so I bit the bullet and mentioned it to Mr. Shen. I didn't expect Mr. Shen to think highly of me."
Chen Xian reminded him, "Don't think too highly of everything. It would be great if we went to Jazz, but after all, it's a new company with no foundation, so try not to stand out. It's better to keep your head down and see how things turn out."
Chen Xian's words reminded Fang Xin, and he said he remembered it. The two exchanged pleasantries for a while and ended the call.
Now that his whereabouts have been solved, he can't be too idle for the rest of his life. It would be the right choice to take on some good scripts while "Thousands of Years" is popular during its broadcast.
Xu Shian received news that someone saw Fang Xin and Shen Yaojie meeting.
For a moment, a storm formed in his eyes. "What did you do?"
In fact, he knew it in his heart, but he did not give up. The secretary beside him lowered his head and said, "There is a contract, but Mr. Fang did not sign it."
Xu Shian turned his chair towards the floor-to-ceiling window and turned his back to the secretary.
After a moment, he slowly spoke, "You go out, let Gu Qing come over."
