"You’re really quite impressive."
The next day when Duanmu Huai t M, he also gave her a thumbs-up.
"Oh, it’s nothing... ahahaha, I was just taking a gamble."
M scratched her head a bit shyly.
"But now everything seems to be going smoothly, it’s really a relief."
"Soone like you, if you stay in the entertainnt industry, you’ll surely beco a Taishan-level veteran one day. Keep going."
"Wait, even if my age is unknown now, this joke is way too harsh."
Faced with M’s complaint, Duanmu Huai laughed lightly.
"I’ll leave Ruby and the others to you. If you encounter any unsolvable problems, feel free to co to or the agency."
"Really?"
"Of course. To be honest, I can’t handle interpersonal relationships and TV charisma as smoothly as you can, but there are so things that you can’t tackle alone. If you need my help, just ask."
"Don’t worry, when that ti cos, I won’t be polite."
Although M didn’t quite understand this statent from Duanmu Huai, she still smiled and reached out, patting Duanmu Huai on the shoulder.
Just then, the agency’s door banged open, and in ca Arima Kana, Hei Chuan Chi Yin, and Ruby along with Lady Jingzi, who was pushing a flatbed cart with a big cardboard box on it.
"Uh... "
Seeing the cardboard box, Duanmu Huai’s face slightly changed, but President Jingzi ignored him and directly pushed the box in front of him.
"Here, this is for you, this year’s batch."
"No way, this many this year... "
Duanmu Huai wailed and collapsed onto the sofa. Arima Kana looked curiously at the box and asked.
"What’s this? Fan letters?"
"It’s nothing so cute. This guy isn’t interested in fans at all; the fan letters sent before were just stuffed sowhere by him."
President Jingzi pointed at Duanmu Huai, speechless.
"These are the offers for Xiao Ai to perform this year."
"So many!?"
Upon hearing this, Arima Kana, Hei Chuan Chi Yin, and the others were all shocked.
"Because this guy is lazy and only films one movie a year. So everyone wants to beat others to it and book Xiao Ai’s schedule early in the year, otherwise after filming one movie, they’ll have to wait until the next year."
President Jingzi looked at Duanmu Huai, helplessly complaining about her lazy artist.
"There weren’t many offers before, but last year Xiao Ai played the lead in ’Jintian,’ and everyone acknowledged his acting range in that area, so the offers increased. After all, if Xiao Ai is in the film, it’s easier to recruit actresses who portray innocent roles, right?"
"Ah, that makes sense."
Ruby nodded.
"Since if having sis... Xiao Ai as the lead actor, there’s no worry about any gossip with the actresses, and larger-scale scenes are okay too."
"Exactly, and at the end of the year, Xiao Ai won the Best Actor award, and his lazy acceptance speech made everyone realize he’s still not planning to work hard, so... "
"What can I say... it’s really a mixed feeling... "
Looking at the offers, Arima Kana mumbled softly, with envy and jealousy in her tone. She knew how she ran herself ragged accepting jobs, going from stage to stage, just to get more acting roles, but even though she was exhausted, only offers for second-rate movies and TV shows ca her way, and she always ended up as a supporting role.
Unlike Duanmu Huai, who lay around the agency’s sofa, slacks off scrolling through his phone, watching TV, yet had endless offers, often for leading or top roles...
It’s true what they say: comparing oneself to others brings nothing but frustration!
"Sigh... bring these over. I’ll take my ti going through them. Aunt Jingzi should have already filtered them, right?"
"Of course, these are all top-tier offers, plus so for early morning slots."
"Wahhhh—————!"
Arima Kana nearly burst into tears; these were opportunities she desperately wanted, but not a single one for her. anwhile, Duanmu Huai had so many offers that he couldn’t finish choosing them.
This is what they an by the saying, ’in the land of plenty, poverty stands stark.’
Moreover, it’s important to note that these scripts are actually from Duanmu Huai’s subordinate film companies or TV stations he has holdings in; because of this relationship, the scripts are sent to Duanmu Huai. Without this connection, he wouldn’t even glance at them.
After all, if it makes money for him, it’s considered profit; making money for others is a different matter.
"Honestly, I’d say you should reduce the number of gigs you accept."
Duanmu Huai glanced at Arima Kana, seemingly guessing what she was about to say.
"It’s because you take on too many roles that many directors have reservations."
"Really?"
"Yes, you know the directors of top-tier productions are perfectionists about their work. You accept so many roles each year that they worry if you have enough ti and energy to play the roles they envision. From this perspective, I’m much more relaxed, only needing to think about one role a year, so if they’re considering a role, they’d co to first."
"Is that so!?"
Hearing this, Arima Kana cried out in despair, and Duanmu Huai nodded. Last year too, he tried to look for resources and connections for Arima Kana through his film companies, but many had doubts about her. The reason was those directors were worried whether Arima Kana had enough stamina to shoot according to their standards.
