But how difficult it is to terminate the contract. When he entered the entertainnt industry that year, he was inexperienced and signed the lowest ten-year contract. He worked as a trainee for two years and debuted for two years, and now it has only been four years.
Moreover, the shares in the contract are pitifully low. After debuting for two years, he finally saved so money, but due to recent scandals, he had to pay out of pocket because the company claid damage to its image.
Now, he is penniless, living in the cheapest basent, so how can he even speak of terminating the contract?
And because of his relationship with Qiao Wenxi and Zhu Li, the higher-ups certainly wouldn’t show him any favor. There is no room for negotiation regarding the contract termination; he can only take out what he should rightfully get.
In his past life, both he and Li Ge had no networks and no resources, and they worked tirelessly for the company for four years before they could gather all their savings to finally buy out the contract.
This ti, Ye Qiu doesn’t want to wait four years, nor can he afford to wait. Who knows what might happen around Li Ge after leaving him?
Therefore, his primary goal now is to make money—to earn enough to pay the termination fee in the shortest possible ti. He also wants to prove his strength to Sweet Orange Entertainnt, so when he joins them, he will have a say and can bring Li Ge back to his side.
The entertainnt industry is known as a place full of opportunities yet is also incredibly elusive. Every year, hundreds of thousands of people want to join this glamorous circle, but only a handful achieve fa.
But if one does beco famous, countless glory and wealth await.
As they say, "Minor fa relies on promotion, major fa relies on fate," and to maintain it, one must possess both skill and character.
To earn the most money in the shortest ti, Ye Qiu decided to pursue acting. Now that the company blacklisted him, leaving him no announcents, he has to find opportunities on his own.
Fortunately, he has mories of a past life and knows where and when crews are recruiting, and which shows will beco imnsely popular in the future.
Ye Qiu looked at the door of the room, which simply said "Murder Case," and a determined look appeared in his eyes.
No one would know that this extrely impoverished and unpromising online suspense drama would beco wildly popular in the future.
"Murder Case" tells the story of an old, peaceful neighborhood where one day a murder case suddenly occurs, wiping out an entire family of six: the grandparents, parents, and son and daughter, leaving no survivors.
The male protagonist is a police officer, through his investigation he discovers that nearly every resident in the neighborhood is a suspect, yet each has an alibi, leaving the case in an awkward stalemate.
In search of the real culprit, he begins investigating the few remaining residents in the neighborhood, thus the story begins.
Ye Qiu is auditioning not for the male lead, but for the role of the female lead’s brother.
The female protagonist Bai Xue is the only one in the neighborhood who initially shows kindness to the police officer, but as the truth gradually unfolds, the police officer discovers that Bai Xue is actually the true culprit.
By then, the male protagonist has developed feelings for the female lead, but for justice and to stay true to his uniform, he painfully struggles yet ultimately brings the female lead to justice.
But did the investigation really reveal the truth?
At the end of the last episode, a aningful look from the female lead to her brother and the brother’s eerie smile casts doubt on the truth of the case.
The role of the brother seems simple, an introverted yet pure-hearted young man who relies on his sister; however, he is intricately connected to the case.
For example, in cases where the male protagonist missed details, the brother loves Sudoku, yet an old book of the victim’s family’s son, who had poor grades, contains a Sudoku book.
Additionally, the park where the brother likes to spend ti alone is where the grandparents of the victim’s family often walked.
There are several such subtle similarities, seemingly coincidental, but can they really all be coincidences?
And the female lead, if she truly believes her brother is innocent, why does she often look at him with complex eyes?
However, the fingerprints on the murder weapon belonging to the sister are undeniable, and she perfectly explains the murder process and details in the final episode, matching the male protagonist’s deductions.
This web drama was t with enthusiastic acclaim from netizens upon its release, mainly because of the oversaturation of cheesy idol dramas, fantasy travel dramas, and anti-Japanese drama in recent years, leading people to lose faith in dostic dramas.
The sudden ergence of a drama with explosive acting skills, a tight and gripping plot, and engaging editing was simply irresistible.
In Ye Qiu’s past life, the role of the brother he auditioned for was played by a young actor, whose acting was a bit raw and failed to portray the brother’s dual personality, and the final smile appeared sowhat forced.
Ye Qiu’s lack of guilt in taking the other’s role is not just because of this; the young actor beca arrogant after his success and not only didn’t show gratitude during the sequel filming with the original team, but exorbitantly raised his fees and acted like a diva, unwilling to hone his skills, leading to the sequel’s poor performance.
Ye Qiu did not want to see the drama ruined like this, hence his decision to audition.
He had great confidence in himself; firstly, he believed his image was significantly better than the previous actor’s. Secondly, his acting skills were on par, if not better, even if the most acclaid actor in the lilight were in front of him.
Moreover, there were the paynt terms. At present, "Murder Case" is a low-budget web series with very limited funds. As long as room and board are covered, Ye Qiu could even forego the paynt.
Additionally, he had so small fa, though currently with a poor reputation, yet it still brought considerable attention to the crew.
Seeing Ye Qiu push the door open and enter, the director was stunned, mainly because he didn’t expect soone with such good looks to audition for his small crew.
He was puzzled, thinking whether this person had entered the wrong room. With such looks, he would surely beco instantly popular as the male lead in the adjacent youth idol drama, yet he was here? What role did he want to try out for?
Even though his crew was small, he still didn’t want actors without acting skills, not wanting his many years of efforts producing the script to be ruined, but he wasn’t willing to let go of soone with such a good image. He thought that if there was a role for a decorative character in his script, then this person would be perfect for it.
"Hello, Director." Ye Qiu, being perceptive, instantly understood the director’s doubts, and so displayed a very humble attitude.
"Which role would you like to audition for?" The director decided to give him a chance, as not many people ca to audition given the size of his crew.
"Bai Song."
Upon hearing these words, the director instinctively furrowed his brows.
