Rong Yan paused for a moment, then pondered, "It’s not that I can’t change people. Gu Qing’s audition was decent, but not to the extent that she’s indispensable. Overall, her speech was okay, and the director thinks she’s trainable. I chose her because your wife is friends with her. Originally, I was thinking..."
"They are not close."
"Uh." Rong Yan had heard from Li Shengxiao about his long-term separation from his wife. It’s not her place to ask about family matters, but Fu Yi is not only Li Shengxiao’s friend, he’s also helped her a lot. When he rarely speaks up, she has no reason to refuse.
After a brief consideration, Rong Yan said, "Okay. I’ll notify the Global Film and Television pany."
...
Meanwhile.
Gu Qing was sitting in the office of the Global Film Industry’s boss, who personally poured her a cup of chrysanthemum tea, smiling warmly as if watching a money tree, increasingly satisfied the more he looked. "I knew you could do it! Was the audition tiring today? You worked hard."
"It was alright, not particularly tiring. Boss Cai, please take a seat." Gu Qing, with red painted nails, carried herself with the effortless arrogance of a lady of noble birth.
The Global boss scoffed inwardly, but Gu Qing had secured a role in the big play "Langan," a step closer to the top tier. There aren’t many top-tier celebrities in the entertainment circle, and these pany owners pamper their top-tier stars like fathers, as they rely on these artists for profit despite being bosses themselves. Moreover, Gu Qing had an untouchable bigwig behind her. So, even if he was dissatisfied with Gu Qing, he still expressed with a smile, "I’ve been sitting all day, tired of sitting, so standing is just right for a break. Right, I’ll arrange a personal assistant for you, since you’ll be joining the "Langan" cast, you can’t go without someone to take care of things."
"Whatever." Gu Qing showed little interest in such small favors, her eyes sparkled knowingly as she suddenly said to him, "I remember Dior is about to choose a spokesperson again."
The Global boss’s face stiffened, his eyes evasive, his expression being unnatural. "Um, seems like it, I hadn’t noticed."
Gu Qing chuckled, bluntly stating, "My mercial endorsements haven’t advanced, I want to secure Dior’s endorsement to make things easier in the fashion industry."
"...Gu Qing, that’s Dior."
Did she think it was some minor brand that she could bee the spokesperson for casually?
Gu Qing’s eyes had a seductive gleam, subtly raised, and said very calmly, "I know. Our pany has always had a good relationship with Dior, that’s why I said it; otherwise, I would have mentioned Louis Vuitton next door."
The Global boss almost laughed from frustration, forcing his expression to remain calm, "The title of Dior spokesperson is hard to obtain."
"Nie Huan has been endorsing it for a year now, even if it’s rotated, it should be my turn. Is Boss Cai not giving it to me because you think I’m inferior to her?" Gu Qing stared into his eyes, demanding an explanation.
"That’s not what I meant. Nie Huan secured that endorsement not through the pany, but because her boyfriend is a Dior executive. With her boyfriend’s help, it was natural for her to secure the endorsement. Our pany doesn’t have that network, fighting for this endorsement would be time-consuming and labor-intensive, and we might not get it in the end, it’s really unnecessary."
Gu Qing’s demeanor shifted instantly, standing up, "I just want this endorsement. If Boss Cai doesn’t give it to me, it only shows the pany doesn’t value me. If it doesn’t value me, fine, I’ll just wait and see who has the sincerity to cooperate after ’Langan’ premieres."
Her words were essentially a threat of contract termination against the pany.
Despite being a big pany, the boss of Global was not accustomed to such arrogance. He immediately responded sternly, "Gu Qing, the pany hasn’t treated you poorly. This time, we secured the opportunity for you to pete for the female lead in ’Langan’, turning against us like this isn’t right, is it? In this industry, it’s better to value loyalty."
