Since Bai Yun had obtained an S grade in the evaluation, logically speaking, there should be a celebration. However, Yin Wei didn't seem to think it was necessary. More concerned about striking while the iron was hot, she wanted Bai Yun to participate in variety shows to show her face and boost her popularity.
Upon hearing the suggestion in Yin Wei's office, Bai Yun directly rejected it.
"Sister Yin, I believe you know better than anyone how much of my current popularity and marketing data are fake. Besides, I don't even have many fans. Du Qing is helping me manage my fanbase now. In total, I have less than 10,000 fans."
Yin Wei interrupted in the midst of her analysis. "Your popularity is unprecedented now. You've got to seize this opportunity to attract more fans. As long as you build up a good image on the variety shows, you can definitely consolidate a portion of your fans."
Spinning the cup in her hand, Bai Yun saw a pair of eyes reflected in it. She sighed softly. "Those who become fans because of one's momentary popularity don't stick around for long, Sister Yin."
Such fans would only gather here for a certain period of time. If there was any movement from the next celebrity, they would turn to other celebrities. Since it didn't matter to them who they supported, of course they would support the one who was popular!
Bai Yun knew the rules too well. People were too easily blinded by false data.
Knowing very well what a dreadful situation she was currently in, she understood that she should slowly build up her foundation step by step. "I just received a supporting role in Teacher Liao Qing's production team. Although I don't have many scenes, I'm confident that I can grasp it."
Bai Yun held her phone tightly. She firmly believed that Liao Qing's drama would definitely be the talk of the town. After all, since she was related to the main characters, the script definitely wouldn't be bad!
Also, judging by her actions in the training class today, Liao Qing was not a biased senior. Of course, it was also attributed to her abilities.
Yin Wei was slightly stunned. "Liao Qing? Which Liao Qing? Chu Jiang's teacher?"
She had originally thought that Bai Yun was just lucky to obtain an S grade today, but she did not expect Liao Qing to actually extend an olive branch!
Sizing Bai Yun up, she hesitated for a moment before asking tentatively, "Your performance wasn't like this in the past. How did your acting suddenly improve so much?"
Since some people's acting skills tended to fluctuate unpredictably, Bai Yun planned to be vague about it. Otherwise, she couldn't possibly say to others, "Haha, surprise surprise. That's because I'm the Best Actress Bai Yun!"
So, she just made up a vague excuse. "I asked Du Qing to sign me up for a private acting class during my days off. I spent some time working on my acting skills."
Yin Wei nodded and analyzed the situation. Considering the other trainees only had good looks and mediocre acting skills, it might not be difficult for Bai Yun to achieve an S grade after putting effort into honing her acting skills. After all, her appearance and figure was among the best.
That was what she had planned to do in the beginning anyway. It didn't matter if the S grade landed on Bai Yun now. After all, she was under her management.
"Has Liao Qing given you that script?"
"Not yet, but…" Bai Yun sat up straight and met Yin Wei's eyes fearlessly. "I don't plan to let the company review the script. I'll go directly to Teacher Liao Qing's production team. "
Yin Wei frowned. "There won't be any problems with the script Liao Qing gives, but why won't you let the company take a look? Are you planning to leave the company?"
Bai Yun did not retreat from the pressure at all. In fact, she was a little amused. "Sister Yin, you were also there when President Li and I signed the bet. Now, the initiative is in my hands." She raised her beautiful eyes and said, "So, whether I should let go of some resources is all up to me."
She spoke lightly, but her words were a blatant threat. She didn't bother to hide her ambition.
Yin Wei gritted her teeth in hatred, but she still had to wear a smile. "Bai Yun, even though we've agreed not to meddle with your resources, you should consider YJ's current situation. Do remember our past ties."
Bai Yun lowered her eyes and blew at the hot air in the cup. "Of course, Sister Yin. On account of your nurturing of me all these years, I will do as I see fit." She secretly emphasized the word nurturing.
She set her cup down on her desk with a clatter. "Oh, one more thing, Sister Yin. Regarding that promise to let me audition for the script I mentioned to President Li, isn't it time to fulfill it?"
Yin Wei sighed. She didn't know which expert had taught Bai Yun, but now the latter had completely turned the tables.
If she didn't find a way to squeeze her tail, sooner or later she would slip away and she wouldn't be able to keep her.
Yin Wei rubbed her glabella. "The audition for that script will take some time. Just focus on Liao Qing's script first. When the time comes, the promise will be fulfilled."
