Chapter 924: Chapter 915: Cliff Jumping (5)
It seems like it’s only been a year since she started interacting with Bo Yan, how could she have changed so much that she doesn’t recognize herself anymore?
“This company is offering very generous terms. This ti, we can get tens of millions in endorsent fees.”
“Oh, if it’s possible to negotiate, then go ahead; if it really can’t be done, then there’s nothing we can do. I’ve already told Director Ji that I’m taking a day off today and have to go back tomorrow.”
Nowadays, celebrities would rather shoot variety shows, comrcials, secure endorsents, and appear on magazines as better options. So of them might have poor acting skills but still can maintain a high-class aura with just a face, climb to the top, gain countless fans and wealth.
However, Xia Siyu insists on doing the opposite and pushes money away to stage dramas. Of course, it’s not that acting is bad, as it’s the actor’s primary duty. But she could be more flexible, right? He doesn’t believe that Director Ji couldn’t allow even half a day more ti.
All one can say is, with her matter-of-fact tone, she obviously doesn’t care about such little money; all she thinks about is acting, how to perform well, and everything else is set aside.
Qin Baizhou couldn’t help but say, “This is an endorsent worth tens of millions.”
Moreover, the film and television industry values connections deeply; it’s a society built on personal relationships. By slipping away this ti and losing this endorsent, it might not be a big deal, but the problem lies in the industry gossip thereafter; her already not-so-great reputation will suffer even more setbacks.
Xia Siyu looked puzzled: “Right, so aren’t you my agent? If it can be negotiated, then do it. If the advertisent is confird, I’ll shoot it. If it can’t be done, I can’t help it.”
Qin Baizhou wanted to say more, but Xia Siyu, rubbing her temples, said, “I’ve arrived at the airport, I’ll go check in first. We can talk later if there’s anything.”
Then she hung up the phone.
On this end, Qin Baizhou was still holding his phone; behind him followed Zhou Weiwei. Zhou Weiwei stepped forward and asked him, “Brother Qin, how’s it going? When will Siyu co?”
Qin Baizhou didn’t say anything. He put down his phone, his head still slightly foggy from a bit of alcohol he had earlier. He simply opened the window, letting the cool breeze blow over the aisle a bit.
They were at a hotel near the venue, and they had inford Xia Siyu to co over after finishing her show in the morning. He thought Xia Siyu might go find Bo Yan, but he never expected her to actually go back to shooting a drama.
In the past six months, his main focus was on the going public matters, managing the company’s affairs too, but he barely managed the artists anymore; Xia Siyu, the only one he wanted to manage, didn’t want him to handle her affairs.
After signing Zhou Weiwei, he initially wanted to use the “friendship” between the two won to draw Xia Siyu over to his side. At first, he always believed the discord between himself and Xia Siyu was due to Bo Yan stirring things in between. But now that he thinks about it, it seems it was not entirely the case.
He didn’t respond to Zhou Weiwei, thought for a while, then called Wei Jingjing. In this period, he had rarely called Xia Siyu or Wei Jingjing. Initially, he wanted to use Wei Jingjing as a plant to monitor Xia Siyu and prevent her from ssing around with Bo Yan. But after he confessed, Xia Siyu distanced herself from him, perhaps partly due to Bo Yan, but more importantly, their feelings had changed.
Friendship and love are like a sheet of window paper; it’s possible to turn a blind eye when it’s intact, but once pierced, things can never go back to how they were before.
But now, thinking about it, the conflicts between him and Xia Siyu were not only due to these two reasons; there were other factors involved.
The call connected quickly, and noisy background sounds ca from the other side, clearly at the airport.
