Huayu Entertainment: You have been directing for three generations, are you comparing your qualifica
Chapter 372 "Resource-Driven" Dilraba!
No sooner had Liu Shishi left than Cai Yinong immediately summoned her newly signed artist, Dilraba!
In the office, Dilraba, as a newcomer, was still a little reserved. Her exotic face and three-dimensional and delicate features were the reasons she was chosen.
"Dilraba, you've just joined the company, are you having any trouble adjusting?"
Cai Yinong, like a wolf in sheep's clothing, spoke to her with gentle concern.
"The company is great, and I'm fitting in very well."
"That's good."
As she spoke, Cai Yinong took out a new contract she had prepared from the drawer and pushed it in front of Dilraba.
"Look, this is the new contract. If you sign it, the company will promote you to be the top female singer in the industry, and you'll be a top star within three years."
"what?"
Dilraba was completely bewildered. Cai Yinong's promises were far too grandiose; she really treated her like a clueless newcomer.
Isn't Liu Shishi the queen of sugar figurines? It's so easy to become a top star in the industry, yet Liu Shishi isn't promoted to that level.
Dilraba knew very well that no matter how harsh the contract was, as a newcomer, she had no choice.
When she opened the first page of the contract, her eyes widened. How was this any different from a contract of servitude?
The contract term was changed from ten years to twenty years.
For the first eight years, it was divided into 2/8, and then the division was changed according to the market.
"Sister Cai, this... this is taking too long."
Cai Yinong took a sip of coffee and said calmly, "Take a look at the rest first."
Dilraba then revises the contract, her eyes widening even more than before, announcing that she will play the female lead in "Xuan-Yuan Sword".
"Sister Cai, isn't the female lead of [Xuan-Yuan Sword] Sister Shi Shi?"
Cai Yinong said calmly, "Shi Shi has terminated her contract, so you will be the number one Sugar Man from now on, provided that you sign a new contract."
Reba nodded blankly, still reeling from the news of Liu Shishi's contract termination.
In her understanding, talent agencies are all ruthless and exploitative, so how could they let Liu Shishi leave so easily?
And it already shows signs of becoming a huge hit.
"Just look at what's coming next; they have the confidence to promote you to the top."
Dilraba obediently flipped through the pages and was immediately overwhelmed with surprise. She was surprised that they had managed to get her a role in a project by Xiaole Pictures.
Instantly, she felt that Cai Yinong was fooling her.
Sugar Man didn't have these resources before, and now they dare to say they'll let her act in a movie. Isn't that ridiculous?
Seeing Dilraba's confusion, Cai Yinong calmly explained:
"If you're worried about falsified resources, you can write it in the contract: if you don't get the film resources from Xiaole Pictures, the new contract won't be valid."
Upon hearing this, Dilraba realized that Cai Yinong must have something to rely on, so she didn't hesitate any longer.
"Sister Cai, I'll sign!"
···
In the realm of adapting games into TV series, Sugarman is undoubtedly a leader in the industry.
The "Chinese Paladin" series is the best proof of this; Liu Yifei, Zhao Liying, and Yang Mi Ke all starred in it and became hugely popular.
The announcement of "Xuan-Yuan Sword: Scar of the Sky" has already attracted a lot of attention from netizens.
Many female artists in the industry are paying attention to the role.
To prove herself to Dilraba and reassure her, Cai Yinong directly announced the cast of "Xuan-Yuan Sword".
"【Xuan-Yuan Sword: Scar of Sky】will star Hu Ge, Dilraba Dilmurat, Jiang Jinfu, and others, and is scheduled to begin filming in May!"
The news came as a huge surprise to many people.
Sugar Man rarely gives opportunities to outsiders, and this time it's even more outrageous that the top star is actually supporting two newcomers!
The little lion was furious and started questioning the sugar man about his arrangements for his number one sister.
Why would a fantasy drama, which is supposed to promote a star, not give the role to the leading lady and instead give it to a newcomer?
People started questioning whether Dilraba was a "resource-backed" star who had squeezed out her sister's position.
The little lion's fighting power is off the charts; it chases after the lion and yells at it, making the Sugar Man official Weibo account a complete mess.
Having no other option, Cai Yinong communicated with Liu Shishi and updated the official Weibo account.
"My encounter with Shishi was a journey of mutual progress and growth, and we gained friendship and happiness... Due to differing plans for the future, we amicably terminated our contract and will collaborate in other capacities in the future. I wish Shishi all the best."
Liu Shishi reposted the Weibo post and added the following text:
"Thank you, Sister Cai, for your care over the years. I wish you all the best in your endeavors and hope to work with you again in the future!"
The little lion was stunned. His older sister had terminated her contract without a word, and hadn't even said where she was going next.
Then he turned around and started scolding Dilraba.
They believe that this resource-rich celebrity squeezed out the top female celebrity.
···
After resolving the contract issues, Liu Shishi left Shanghai the next day, taking her assistant of several years with her, and headed to the capital.
Regardless of what happens next, she entrusted everything to Tian Xiaole.
Tian Xiaole's arrangements did not disappoint her.
Upon arriving in the capital, someone was arranged to pick him up at the airport. As the head manager of Xiaole Pictures, he often acted as Tian Xiaole's tool.
Chen Zhixi picked up Liu Shishi and took her to the villa she had previously purchased.
The other building, after being renovated, is rarely used anymore; it's starting to feel the strain.
"Shishi, stay here for now. We'll arrange for someone to come over tomorrow to take care of you."
"Thank you, Director Chen. I am very satisfied with this place."
"Don't be so formal, just call me Sister hope."
With a smile on her face, Chen Zhixi stepped forward and took Liu Shishi's hand, her gaze inadvertently drifting to the latter's stomach.
Tang Yan should feel the pressure.
Mrs. Tian's position now has another strong competitor.
"I'll show you around the villa. Just let me know if you need anything."
Liu Shishi was very satisfied with Tian Xiaole's arrangements, which showed that Tian Xiaole cared about her.
After seeing Chen Zhixi off, she lay on the living room sofa, dreaming about her future plans.
"Sister Shishi, when did you meet Director Chen and even buy this big villa in the capital?"
The assistant, who had been with Liu Shishi for several years, seemed to be meeting her boss for the first time, exuding an air of mystery. "All you need to know is that you'll be living here from now on, and you need to keep your mouth shut."
"Don't worry, sis, I'm very tight-lipped."
The assistant covered her mouth, nodded, and her eyes crinkled with laughter.
"Sis, what about my job from now on..."
buzzing...
The phone on the coffee table rang, and the assistant, quick to notice, handed it to Liu Shishi.
It was Cai Yinong who called.
"Sister Cai, is there something you need?"
"Look at what you're saying. Can't I chat with you even if there's nothing wrong?"
"That was not what I meant……"
Cai Yinong interrupted Liu Shishi's explanation, saying that she had indeed come to see her for a reason.
If the little lion doesn't stop going crazy, the leading lady he's just been preparing to promote will be criticized and become withdrawn.
"Shishi, it's like this, the fans think that you left because you were ostracized. Please try to appease them."
"It was my oversight. I'll explain it to them on Weibo."
"Okay, please."
Without realizing it, Cai Yinong started using honorifics.
While the relationship was still there, we chatted for a while longer, catching up on everyday things.
Only then did she realize that Liu Shishi was already in the capital.
"Shishi, what are your career plans for the future? Will you sign with Lotte Entertainment?"
"I don't want to sign with a management company; I plan to set up my own studio."
"Congratulations! You're your own boss now."
Cai Yinong was very emotional, as she had just crossed several stages.
He went from being a second- or third-tier actor to becoming a boss.
These days, only a handful of people can open their own studios. Fan Binbin, of course, needs no introduction; he's earned the nickname "Fan Ye" (Master Fan).
Zhou Xun, a three-time Golden Horse Award winner, only established her own studio at the end of last year.
Huang Xiaoming just left Huayi and recently established his own studio.
In Cai Yinong's view, none of them have a better future than Liu Shishi, because Liu Shishi has powerful backers.
···
After hanging up with Cai Yinong, Liu Shishi thought for a moment, then updated her Weibo to appease the rioting little lion.
"Due to personal reasons, I will be temporarily leaving the film and television industry. In the future, I will establish my own studio and re-plan my acting career..."
After the message was sent out, instead of calming the little lion as expected, it made him scold even more fiercely.
They believed that the sugar man was heartless and ungrateful, and when they discovered that Liu Shishi had health problems, they quickly terminated the contract.
The idea of setting up a personal studio is utter nonsense. As a minor actress, where does she get the confidence to start her own business? Wouldn't it be better to just stay a top star?
Then, Dilraba continued to be criticized.
She's a resource-driven actress, squeezing out her own sister!
Faced with a large number of private messages from fans asking questions, Liu Shishi could not ignore them.
He then updated his Weibo, posting a nine-grid photo collage.
In the photo, she is lazily basking in the sun, and the background is very eye-catching, clearly a large villa.
The fans were somewhat relieved to see that their idol was doing so well.
Then, they continued to criticize Dilraba!
She's a resource-backed actress, squeezing out her own sister!
···
Paris Fashion Week is a popular runway for female celebrities, and it's also a reflection of their status and wealth.
Among the celebrities invited this time are Fan Binbin, Zhang Ziyi, Zhou Xun, Liu Yifei... all of whom are top-tier stars in China.
Tang Yan came here at the invitation of the brand; otherwise, she would have preferred to stay at home with Tian Xiaole.
After all, it's not easy to go home with her.
She didn't expect to run into so many acquaintances at Fashion Week.
She had two major enemies recorded in her notebook, ranking first and second.
Little did they know that while they were focused on the enemy at hand, their rear defenses had already been breached.
"Yifei, how about we get together after the event?"
"Great, it's been a long time since we last met."
Tang Yan smiled. She had just said it casually, but she didn't expect that he would actually agree.
"Count me in, it's a good opportunity to get together in this foreign land."
Tang Yan regretted it; she shouldn't have brought it up, and Fan Binbin had joined in too.
Noticing Zhang Ziyi approaching, Fan Binbin raised her voice:
"Let's have the three of us. It's been a long time since we've seen each other. Let's have a good chat."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ziyi's expression turned unnatural. He turned around and walked towards someone else.
Domestically, the most frequently trending topic on Weibo is which celebrity had a stunning photo taken at Paris Fashion Week, sitting in a prominent position...
A single Weibo post instantly drew everyone's attention.
Tang Yan, Liu Yifei, and Fan Binbin were seen making peace signs at the camera, their faces flushed, indicating they were slightly tipsy.
Industry insiders are surprised that the three can get along so well. Aren't they all competitors?
Fans were even more surprised that the two women, who usually attacked and insulted each other to protect their idols, actually had such a good relationship in private!
Many netizens are more concerned about the three people's looks.
Photos of people in the same frame are very pleasing to the eye and easy on the eyes.
Those trending images on social media are totally weak compared to this. (End of Chapter)
