Shen Jie's neck straightened, "Yes!"
Fu Xiuyu immediately wiped out his normally calm and gentle manner. His chest began to heave up and down, "You said you refuse to sign with any entertainment company! I have asked you and offered you everything multiple times! I've promised you the best treatment to get you into Star Entertainment, but you refused. How come you signed with Sky Entertainment?!"
The one guy he'd done everything for ended up signing with his competitor. Why wouldn't he be furious?!
Shen Jie replied, "I sign with whoever I want. That's not your business! You want me to use someone like Fu Siying? She's not someone I can work with! She's nothing but a pretty exterior! She's just an empty vase! Her acting skill is unbelievably bad! No matter how well you treat me, I don't want it!"
"You!" Fu Siying was so angry her nose turned lopsided, "Who are you insulting?!"
Since her family had a say in the entertainment industry, she became a child actor when she was very young.
Star Entertainment supported her and advertised her using all of their resources. So today, she was one of the celebrities with the most fans.
But all these years, no matter what she acted in, she had always been called a pretty vase without true acting skills.
So today, she hated being called an empty vase!
Shen Jie shook his head and made a face, "It's not scary to be a vase. It's scary when the vase doesn't realize she is one."
Fu Siying, "You..."
"Siying." Fu Xiuyu grabbed onto Fu Siying. With his face completely tightened up, he said to Shen Jie, "Then, I hope director Shen has a great future."
Then, he left with the others two.
Fu Siying cried at him, "Brother, so I'm not getting the lead role?"
Fu Xiuyu comforted her, "We have lots of opportunities back at the agency. There's no need for you to compete for this one particular role."
"That's not the same!" Fu Xiying shouted, "You don't know how popular this book of Feng Ci's is. The book fans would bring in so many viewers and audiences. If I get this role, it's perhaps a step up for my career!"
"Plus, I already tweeted that I'm going to be the lead actress for this! My fans all think I'm going to be in it and have already spread the news. If I don't get it now, I would be slapping my own face before my fans!"
"You..." Fu Xiuyu had a headache, "What's wrong with your manager? Why didn't he stop you?! Plus, didn't you see? I have tried to get the role for you, but it didn't work. What more do you want me to do?!"
Yin Shiqiong listened to Fu Siying as she raved about how popular Feng Ci's novel was. Her expression was a little hard to read.
Pausing for some time, she decided to speak, "I just finished a project and I'm now in talks over the film copyright. If you want, I can ask the director to have you as the lead actress."
Fu Xiuyu had a major realization, "I almost forgot you're an author. You're also a member of the writing association in the City of Billow. Your books definitely are just as good as Feng Ci's. Siying, hurry and thank your sister-in-law."
On the inside, Fu Siying thought, how could Feng Ci and Yin Shiqiong be compared? Feng Ci's books were fought over and not everyone who wanted a copy got one.
Yin Shiqiong's books, however, were only known due to the advertisements plastered all over town.
Even her title of being the "most beautiful author in the Capital City" was forcefully imposed through ads.
Her fans didn't know this and thought their favorite author was a beast, but Fu Siying was an actress and knew all about this.
Unless authors produce some real admirable material, they could not get popular without advertisements.
Despite her doubts, she still mumbled unhappily, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
Silently, she updated her tally on Lin Xiyan. There was no way she was going to sit back and let that girl peacefully film the show!
Shen Jie watched the three leave and shook his head.
"Under Fu Xiuyu's control, Star Entertainment is going to be destroyed sooner or later. It's basically turning into Fu Siying's support group."
Yi Qinghan also found this strange, "Fu Xiuyu isn't an idiot who knows nothing about business strategy. I wonder why he spoils his arrogant sister so."
