Chapter 17 - Chapter 17: Career goals

The appearance of the new Qin girl attracted a lot of attention, although everyone was overshadowed by the light of Film Director Lai and Film Queen Zhang, and Yixi was only given a tofu-sized section in the newspaper.However, in the more spacious online media, her treatment has improved, and many news stories are titled "New Qin Girl Revealed, First Film School Girl Yixi Appears at the Launching of "Raiding the Palace"", with her photo attached, and pushed to the front page of all major websites.

 

So far, the outside world's appraisal of her is not bad, especially on the Internet, the praise is particularly strong.Although most of them are fawning over her face, but what stars sell in the beginning is not just a face, others praise her beauty, she is too happy to wait.

 

Yixi has no agent, the media want to contact her have to go through the crew, I heard that night the phone is almost burst, more than a dozen big newspapers and magazines want to do an interview with her, but unfortunately, Qin Weidong does not intend to let her contact with the outside now and pushed it out of the way.

 

"Your first interview is definitely going to be an exclusive, the exact person to give it to is still undecided, we have to discuss it with your pr."The producer paused here, "I heard you haven't signed a company yet, are you not going to sign or haven't found the right one?If it's the latter, I can help recommend you, with your current development prospects, I believe there are many companies willing to sign you."

 

Yixi said, "Director Qin recommended me, but that agent was dealing with something important a while ago, and has only taken time out in the past few days.Well, if there are no surprises, we'll be able to meet this afternoon."

 

"Yo, it's rare that Wei Dong is willing to pull the strings, but that side is actually dragging their feet?What's the big deal, can't it be settled before you deal with it?"

 

Yixi shrugged, "I heard, she's getting a divorce."

 

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Yixi met the long-awaited agent at the hotel cafe.

 

Before this, she had already heard her name for ten years or so, Wang Anhui, the former director of artiste management department of Xia Ce Film and Television, who had brought out three film queens and one film emperor, as well as ten or so second-tier or above stars since she had been in the industry.Five years ago, she resigned to get married and quit the jungle, and I thought that after that, I wouldn't be able to hear about this lady's glorious deeds, but I didn't expect that so soon, she got divorced.

 

Yixi arrived five minutes earlier than the appointed time, and only after finishing a small half cup of coffee did she finally appear, dressed in an orange-red dress with a black coat, her long curly blonde hair hanging over her shoulders, looking stylish and sexy.She sat down opposite Yixi and apologised with a smile, "Sorry, the plane was late.I'm usually not usually late."

 

Yixi laughed, "That's okay, I don't have anything else to do this afternoon anyway, and I just happened to look at your profile again."

 

Wang Anhui spares a thought for her confession, "Oh, so long isn't enough for you to know me?"

 

"The more cautious you are about important matters, the better, of course."

 

Wang An-Hui raises an eyebrow and smiles.Yixi realised that her looks were not outstanding, but she had a charming temperament, and when she looked at people with a smile, she was even more full of charm, she said, "When Director Qin called me, I actually didn't intend to come back so soon, it was him who said that you were a rare talent, and that I couldn't afford to miss you if I still wanted to clean up the old mountains and rivers.It's because of his words that I didn't even take a day off and rushed here like this.As you know, my divorce papers were only fully finalised yesterday."

 

"So have I satisfied you now?"

 

Wang Anhui carefully sized her up, "There's no doubt that you're beautiful, more beautiful than all the female artists I've signed - of course, they're no longer my artists now.To have Director Qin Weidong personally recommend you, I'm sure your acting skills are also very good, and I can't think of a reason to be dissatisfied with you.As long as we can agree on the last issue, we can say a happy co-operation in advance."

 

"What issue?"

 

Wang Anhui blinked, "I heard that it was Director Qin who unintentionally leaked the news that I was planning to come back, so you asked him to contact me, and you were even willing to wait for me for three months so that I could finish taking care of my personal matters.I'm curious as to what made you think so highly of me that you went so far as to put off Gao Zhiwen and Xu Sen's invitations.En, don't be so surprised, even though I've been away for five years, it's still easy to inquire about things in the circle."

 

Yixi pinched the spoon and gently stirred the circle in the coffee cup, "I heard that you are not planning to return to your old employer Xia Ce this time back, but are preparing to go to Huarui Media, is that right?"

 

Wang Anhui nodded her head, and Yixi smiled slightly, "This fits well with my career plan."

 

Xia Ce's forte was TV drama production, while Huarui's film resources were very rich, from what she was saying, she wanted to take the route of a film curator, and not take on, or only take on, big production boutique TV dramas.

 

"Gao Zhiwen is Xia Ce's agent, it's reasonable for you to reject him, then what about Xu Sen?He's the director of Huarui's artiste department, you can't see it either?"Wang Anhui asked.

 

Yixi thought about it and vaguely said, "I don't think Director Xu is too suitable for me."

 

Wang Anhui became interested, "How do you say that?"

 

Yixi pursed her lips, a little hesitant.As early as a year ago, she had analysed the brokers of major companies to pick a target for herself.In that screening, Xu Sen was the first to be excluded, and one of the reasons was that Yixi felt that he wasn't very good at running female artists.The films he chose for his male artists were either box office hits or excellent word-of-mouth, and he could always harvest one of the two, but the films he chose for his actresses were very weak.She had heard rumours that there were several films with big breaks for the female leads that had contacted Xu Sen in the beginning, but he had let those opportunities go.Of course, this was just anecdotal evidence, the truth of which was unknown, but when Yixi had finished studying the development paths of Lu Yan and Zhou Pei Pei, she had resolutely given up on this pivotal figure in the domestic entertainment industry.

 

However, it is one thing to understand these words in one's heart, but it is another thing to say them out loud, especially when Wang Anhui is sitting in front of her.After all, Xu Sen was a senior in the circle, who knew if these two had a good relationship in private?

 

Wang Anhui was still waiting for her answer, Yixi struggled and chose a more euphemistic way of saying it, "If I were a man, I would definitely choose Director Xu."

 

Wang Anhui raised her eyebrows, "Do you think he will go after you, or do you think, he can't run you well?"

 

Yixi didn't expect her to be a poor pursuer by nature, and helplessly said, "I believe in Director Xu's character."

 

Wang Anhui laughed out loud, "Believing in his character means you don't believe in his ability.Not bad, not bad, finally someone sees that Xu Sen, he is a fool!Last year, I advised him not to give Luyan any 'Wu Zetian', it's bound to be a flop, but he didn't believe me, arguing with me about how big the investment is and how reliable the team is, but what happened?If Luyan had been in my hands, she would have crushed Zhang Siqi and gone on to compete with Yang Manyu."

 

As she spat on Xu Sen so recklessly, Yixi relaxed a bit and added, "Moreover, Mr Xu has too many artists under his command, although as the director, he has more resources than an ordinary agent, but as an insignificant one of them, I may not be able to share much, so it's better to wait for you without worrying about it, after all..."

 

"After all, I've been retired for many years, and the first person I sign on my comeback will inevitably be built up with all my might, or else I'll have smashed my golden brand, right?"

 

Yixi nodded frankly, Wang Anhui burst into laughter again, Yixi had never seen someone in such a good mood after just being divorced, and when she smiled she was really radiant, her plain and uninteresting features became streaming with colour.

 

"Little girl, I have to say, you surprised me."She said, once again examining Yixi.

 

The girl was dressed in a long white thin jumper, her long hair was draped over her shoulders, and she looked very quiet.But it was such a pure and harmless person who had made so many risky choices.She could see Xu Sen's inadequacies and boldly gave up on him in favour of herself who had left the entertainment industry for many years.It had to be said that this decision alone made her look the other way.

 

There were a lot of ambitious girls in this business, but limited to talent and vision, as well as the helpless law that beautiful women were mostly brainless, most of them had the heart but not the strength, which was why they needed an agent to help them plan.But at this moment she knew that she had come across an exception.

 

Here was a girl who was beautiful, ambitious, and full of intelligence.

 

"You seem sober and very clear about the path you want to take, so you must have some goals, right?What step do you want me to help you take when you seek my cooperation?"

 

Wang Anhui asked the question while pondering in her mind.The most accomplished artiste she had brought up was Fan Sijun, one of the four great flower girls, holding five post-film trophies, one of which was also awarded by an international category A film festival.Did Yixi expect this?

 

This was the first time since Wang Anhui entered the room that she had seen a fuming look on Yixi's face.She inclined her head to gaze at her, seemingly in deep thought, and after a moment smiled slightly, ''My goal?That's a very distant thing."

 

Wang Anhui's mind was shaken.After the conversation just now, she already had a rough idea of her eyesight, a goal that would make her describe it as distant, what kind of goal would it have to be?

 

"You've been in this business for fifteen years and set many records that have not been broken so far, now that you've come back, you must be pursuing something in your career as well, right?I wonder if you are interested in joining me to surpass your former self and create a brand new myth?"

 

Wang Anhui looked at her expressionlessly, and the four eyes met, neither of them averting their gaze.I don't know how long it took, but Wang Anhui couldn't hold herself back first, her fragrant shoulders trembled and her pleasant laughter flowed out, and she nodded her head as she laughed, "Good, very good.I really should come back.Just now, listening to your words, the tip of my nose could practically smell the smell of blood, that kind of killing and conquering feeling, it's really a long time since I've seen it."

 

Yixi hung her eyes and said nothing, Wang Anhui said dryly, "I have no more questions.The contract will be drawn up and sent over within three days, and anything you're not satisfied with can be mentioned, and I'll discuss it with you 'at my discretion'."The rhinestone affixed nails tapped the desktop, "Ah, I'll have to get rid of this as well, I'll need to be light on my feet when it comes to knifing for you in the future."

 

She extended her hand towards her, her tone becoming solemn for the first time, "Miss Yixi, I look forward to working with you.I have a feeling it will be a very interesting experience."

 

Yixi raised her hand to take hers and said seriously, "Of course.I hope it will not only be fun for me alone, but also for you, An Hui-san."

 

"Hahahahahahaha why don't you tell her that you're not signing to Seo Sen not just because he's blind, but also because he's a friend of your father's who's breaking your big taboo?There's also Gao Zhiwen, that's Xu Muzu's agent, if you sign him you'll really become Xu Muzu's little sister, oops Yinru will be furious ..."

 

Yixi couldn't stand it anymore, "Xia Xintong, are you done?I'm talking to you about business, laugh your arse off!"

 

"You've come to provide me with laughs, and you don't allow me to have a good time?It's true that people are different when they're popular, so I can't afford to mess with you."

 

"Again, me not signing to Xu Sen has nothing to do with anyone else, it's purely because he's blind, that's all!"

 

Xia Xintong nodded her head to show that she was taught, "Oh, I see.What about Gao Zhiwen?"

 

Yixi smiled high and cold, "I'm a film curiosity, I can't look at Xia Ce as a drama powerhouse."

 

"I am Xia Ce's."Xia Xintong coldly said.

 

"so what?"

 

Xia Xintong feigned anger, "In that case, I won't tell you how Tianya pickpocketed you!"

 

Last night, photos of Yixi and Lai Chenglang's late night outing were posted, and the masses finally recognised that the original watery Qin girl was the mysterious girlfriend of Film Director Lai.Many people said on the spot that they wanted to skin her, Yixi was too busy preparing for this afternoon's meeting to take care of it, so Xia Xintong volunteered to keep an eye on it for her.

 

"If there's something big, you'd have said so long ago, and if you're dragging it out now, you just don't have the information.And don't you know?Lai Cheng Lang has already clarified this matter during the interview, those reporters recognised me earlier than the netizens.We just went to meet the director together, incidentally, same line, understand?"

 

"I understand, but the crowd doesn't believe it.They all said that Lai Cheng Lang took care of you in all kinds of ways during the launch, it's true that there's a jq ah there's a jq, that brain hole, breaks through the sky!"

 

"This is out of my hands.Network well, is this way, there are people say I just look pure, in fact is sleeping on the top it, what can I do?"

 

Xia Xintong lying on the bed, changed a more comfortable position, the tone also became soft, "Since we are talking about this, I have to ask, you and Lai Chenglang ... exactly what is going on?"

 

"What what's going on?"

 

"I can see all the photos, in fact, I don't blame the netizens for being suspicious, it's really not normal ah.He personally gave you an umbrella, but also smiled so gently, tsk tsk ... difficult, he knows who you are?"

 

Yixi was silent, Xia Xintong continued to ask: "Your Uncle Li, recognised you?"
