Huayu started from the Three Kingdoms period

Another half hour passed, and Xu Ying finally managed to fool Li Xin.

Xu Ying always felt like he was deceiving a young girl, but he couldn't be blamed for it. Who knew that Li Xin was still a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur) when she first debuted?

It seems she's under a lot of pressure. She's been learning Kunqu Opera since she was a child, and it would be a real shame if she couldn't make it in the entertainment industry.

Li Xin's schedule is in the afternoon; it's a magazine shoot, not a cover shoot, she's not qualified yet.

After learning that Xu Yingzhen was there to discuss signing a contract, and since she had nothing else to do, Li Xin decided to have a good chat with this new friend she had just met.

At first, she was intimidated by Xu Ying, thinking he was a senior. But when she learned that he was also a newcomer to the industry, she was filled with confidence again.

He spoke as if he were an experienced person, but how old was she compared to Xu Ying? He easily swayed her with just a few words.

She started complaining, saying that she originally thought filming and singing Kunqu opera were similar, but when she actually went to film, she realized that they were completely different.

Li Xin was first disliked by Li Shaohong, who initially admired her, then by the actors she worked with, and finally she herself began to dislike herself.

Fortunately, she has a strong personality and managed to pull through.

I don't know much about the new version of "Dream of the Red Chamber," but I've heard some rumors, such as improper sources of resources and connections getting the cast.

As for Rongxin, Xu Ying had only heard that the company's reputation wasn't very good, but since he was already here today, he decided to make some contact and learn more about it.

He didn't have a better option at the moment, but he wasn't in a hurry to sign a contract, so he asked Li Xin about some details of the contract, such as the contract term.

Li Xin blinked her innocent-looking big eyes and said, "I signed a 15-year contract."

15 years?

Xu Ying looked at Li Xin as if he were an idiot.

"What's wrong?" Li Xin noticed his strange look. "Why are you looking at me like that? Is something wrong?"

"This isn't just wrong, it's absolutely wrong! This is a 15-year contract!" Xu Ying said. "A 15-year contract? You're 18 now, and by the time the contract expires, you'll be 32."

Li Xin still didn't feel there was anything wrong. Indeed, a newcomer signing such a long-term contract with a big agency should be something to be happy about.

"They all signed 15-year contracts, including Yang Yang and Jiang Mengjie."

"What about Yang Mi?"

"Yang Mi, it doesn't seem so. Her contract seems to be expiring soon."

"What about the profit sharing?"

"At the beginning, it was 2 to 8, with the company taking the lion's share. The company needs to develop right now," Li Xin said honestly. "Besides, Sister Wan'er said that once we've passed the newcomer stage and matured, adjustments will be made."

"Some of the publicity and distribution work comes from our department, and..."

Wonderful!

Xu Ying couldn't help but applaud. This wasn't a contract; it was practically a servitude agreement.

He thought of Yang Mi and had to admit that she was a woman with ideas and capabilities.

After the contract expired, he not only ran away, but also abducted Rongxinda's agent, Zeng Jia.

Xu Ying finally understood why Yang Yang, Jiang Mengjie, and even Li Xin later fell out with Rong Xin.

He couldn't remember the specific details, only that Yang Yang had paid several million in compensation, and Jiang Mengjie had paid a penalty of 30 million.

Xu Ying only wanted to say one thing: Sorry to bother you, it's better not to sign this contract.

"Don't worry, Sister Wan'er and Sister Hong are really nice people, and they're very good to us too," Li Xin said, reassuring Xu Ying, who was worried about not being able to adapt after arriving.

Xu Ying looked at Li Xin, who was full of hope for the future, with pity. "You'd better stop comforting me and think about how to escape Rong Xin."

Not long after, Li Xiaowan, one of the founders of Rongxinda, walked in.

Li Xin sweetly called out "Sister Wan'er," while Xu Ying respectfully addressed her as "President Li."

Compared to the busy person on the phone, Li Xiaowan in real life didn't seem to be in such a hurry.

Li Xiaowan was born into a film family in Beijing. Her father was the production director of the Beijing Film Studio, and her mother was a director. She herself worked as an assistant to Chen Huaikai, which launched her film career.

Many people may not be familiar with this name, but everyone knows his son, Chen Kaige.

Look, this is the power of the second generation.

Li Xiaowan, along with Wang Jinghua and Chang Jihong, is known as one of the "Three Great Agents." She has managed two top-tier artists, Chen Kun and Zhou Xun.

Anyone else would be terrified by her reputation, which explains why Yang Yang, Li Xin, and others were willing to sign Rongxinda's contract.

Li Xiaowan herself represents resources.

Li Xiaowan first scrutinized Xu Ying from head to toe, then nodded in satisfaction.

Before the three of them could sit down, she spoke first, "Xin Xin, you go ahead and do your work. I have something I'd like to discuss with Xu Ying alone."

Li Xin wasn't someone who couldn't read between the lines. She stood up and walked outside, then gave Xu Ying a thumbs-up before turning and leaving.

Li Xiaowan looked at the new actor in front of her, who was neither humble nor arrogant, and even showed no nervousness, and was somewhat surprised.

At first, when someone approached her to recommend new actors, she didn't take it seriously. She just casually agreed, thinking that if she could sign one after meeting him, she would, and if not, so be it.

After all, she had already signed a large number of new actors through "Dream of the Red Chamber".

But when she actually met Xu Ying, she changed her mind.

Regardless of their actual abilities, their appearance alone is enough to make them a star in the entertainment industry.

Li Xiaowan considers herself to have a keen eye for talent, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to mentor top-tier artists like Zhou Xun and Chen Kun.

What projects have you acted in so far?

Xu Ying said, "My Chief and My Regiment, and also, the new Three Kingdoms is currently being filmed."

"Oh?" Li Xiaowan was a little surprised, not expecting that this newcomer's resources were not too bad.

Because Li Xiaowan was pressed for time and had a heavy workload, she didn't waste any time and went straight to the point: "You should already know me, so there's no need to say more. Let me tell you about our company."

"Since its establishment, our company has produced many TV series, such as 'Palace of Desire' and 'Thunderstorm'. We are currently filming a new version of 'Dream of the Red Chamber', which you should know. Li Xin is one of the members of our team."

"I don't like beating around the bush, so I'll just tell you the truth. I value your potential. If you sign with the company, the contract period will be the same as Yang Yang, Li Xin, and even Jiang Mengjie. I will treat everyone with the same resources. The contract term is 15 years."

Xu Ying finally asked the question that concerned him most: "How is the revenue sharing calculated?"

Li Xiaowan said, "For other newcomers, the ratio would be one to nine, but since you were introduced by them and I personally think highly of you, we'll do it the same way as them, two to eight."

Although he already knew these things from Li Xin, the division still amused Xu Ying, making it seem like a charity.

See, that's the advantage of owning a company. They could just rob someone, but they insist on signing a contract.

Seemingly sensing Xu Ying's reluctance, Li Xiaowan sneered and said, "The industry is in a slump right now, and every industry needs a good person to guide them into the field."

"Our company has no shortage of resources. In fact, I can bring in a lot of resources myself. Countless people are desperate to get into Rongxin."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Li, I think Rongxin is not suitable for me."
