HuaYu: Starting with Photography to Navigate the Entertainment Industry

Qin Feifei, An Yixuan, Tang Yan, Yang Ying, Liu Yan, and Zhang Liangying exchanged glances.

To be honest, they didn't expect everyone to come back.

However, the six people, who were initially somewhat unfamiliar with each other, suddenly became united in their hatred of the enemy after exchanging words.

Yang Ying and Xu Lang were the closest, and Yang Ying was the youngest and the most outspoken.

He said it in a somewhat sarcastic tone.

"Brother Lang, you didn't come home again last night, and your phone was off. Where did you go?"

Didn't you know we were worried about you?

"Well..."

Xu Lang was somewhat relieved that he and Pu Shiyan had gone to a hotel last night, otherwise they would have been cornered by this group of people.

"It ran out of power."

Xu Lang spoke somewhat guiltily, then pointed at the six people and reprimanded them.

"Why are you all coming back instead of working?"

"Hmph! If we hadn't come back soon, you would have been kidnapped by that vixen."

An Yixuan, the most impatient of all, dug up the rumors about Xu Lang and Park Shi-yeon from the newspaper and put them in front of Xu Lang.

"Is that all?"

Seeing this, Xu Lang felt relieved.

"You all just go on strike whenever you want. As your poor boss, I have to find a way to make money. If I really have no other choice, I have to sell my body. Otherwise, how can I support you all?"

At this point, he sat down in the boss's chair behind his desk, took out a stack of contracts from the table next to him, and threw them on the table.

Tang Yan picked up the top one and saw that it read:

"A promotional agreement between Starway Entertainment and SidusHQ".

"SidusHQ?"

Qin Feifei approached, knowing that this was currently the largest entertainment company in South Korea, and that top stars like Jun Ji-hyun, Song Hye-kyo, Jung Woo-sung, Jo In-sung, and Jang Hyuk were all working for this company.

Known as South Korea's "Celebrity Museum".

Others also gathered around, looking at the contract and whispering among themselves.

At this moment, Xu Lang said:

"Park Si-yeon is a female artist promoted by SidusHQ in China, and she is currently having her costume fitting done for the drama 'Lotus Lantern'."

At this point, he pointed to the scandal in the newspaper and said:

"This is all just for publicity, and you actually believe it?"

"Well..."

The other six people looked at each other, unsure of what to say.

Just then, Zhang Yanbin's voice could be heard from outside.

"Third Brother, Sister Tao is here."

Following that sound, the sound of high heels echoed in the hallway, and then Liu Tao appeared at the office door.

"Xu Lang, you... uh..."

Liu Tao has been on set getting his costume done these days, and occasionally comes over to Xu Lang for a cup of tea.

Seeing the office filled with beautiful women, he was momentarily stunned.

Seeing Liu Tao suddenly charge forward again, Xu Lang's head throbbed even more. He chuckled awkwardly and pointed at the other six men, saying:

"The company is having a meeting, a year-end mobilization meeting."

"Oh?"

Liu Tao looked at these people and asked:

"Shall I go first?"

"No need, we're not strangers, and there are no secrets between us. Please sit wherever you like."

As Xu Lang was speaking, he heard Zhang Yanbin's voice coming from outside again.

"Third Brother, God... Goddess Fairy has arrived!"

"Uh...Fairy Sister?"

Upon hearing this name, everyone was taken aback, filled with doubt.

"Why is Liu Yifei here too? Could it be...?"

Soon, footsteps could be heard outside the office, and then Liu Yifei's pretty face appeared in the doorway.

"Xu...uh..."

Upon entering the room, Liu Yifei thought she had traveled through time. This wasn't an office; it looked like the Seven Fairies!

Liu Yifei looked surprised, but in her heart she was thinking...

"What seven fairy maidens? They're just seven spider demonesses!"

Xu Lang was puzzled when he saw Liu Yifei.

"This girl has never come to me on her own initiative before. What's wrong with her today? Why did she suddenly show up?"

"you..."

Seeing Liu Yifei hesitate at the door, Xu Lang could only say again:

"It's nothing, there's a company meeting, some people are on strike, we need to mobilize them."

"Then you guys go first..."

"No need, we're all family here, you can sit down."

Now, Xu Lang doesn't care anymore. He's herding one sheep or a flock, it's all the same. A few lice won't bite, right?

An Yixuan and the other six looked at Liu Tao and Liu Yifei with hostility on their faces.

But with so many people around, they couldn't really say anything.

Seeing this, Xu Lang picked up the other contracts on the table and said as he looked at them:

"You've come back just in time, saving me the trouble of telling you all one by one."

As he spoke, he took out a contract and tossed it to Qin Feifei, who was standing next to him.

"Sister Fei, this is yours. This is the spokesperson for LG Electronics in South Korea. It's the first year. In order to secure this position, I gave them a 6% discount. The price is 80 yuan a year."

"what?"

Qin Feifei took the contract, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"I have an endorsement contract now? And it's for a big brand like LG?"

She flipped through it once, then stared at Xu Lang, her face full of excitement.

"Xu Lang, is this for real? You're not lying to me, are you?"

Why would I lie to you? I contacted them and gave them your information. They were very interested and felt that your gentle and generous temperament met their requirements.

More importantly, I said your film "Peacock" will win an award at the Cannes Film Festival this year.

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Feifei was stunned.

"Director Gu said he's going to participate in film festivals abroad, but how can we be sure if he'll win any awards? Don't try to fool people, or you'll dig a hole for yourself."

"Why would I dig a hole for you? I was just saying that. It's not like they can't do their own research. Anyway, once they've done their research, they'll finalize the contract quickly. I reckon you'll definitely win the award."

Do you think they're stupid? Once you win the award, you won't be able to sign someone for 80.

Hearing Xu Lang say this, Qin Feifei felt relieved.

Holding the contract in both hands, filled with excitement, he completely forgot about his plan to cause trouble for Xu Lang upon his return.

Seeing this, the others all gathered around Qin Feifei, looking at her with envy.

Even Liu Tao and Liu Yifei, who were sitting on the sofa, couldn't help but feel a little envious.

80 a year, that's not a high price.

But that's LG! As long as the cooperation goes smoothly, we can sign a multi-year contract and make a lot of money.

Moreover, for a brand of LG's caliber to be a GG ambassador, in China, only top-tier female celebrities would be qualified.

Qin Feifei has filmed a movie and a TV series, but neither has been released yet. It's incredible that she was able to get this endorsement.

It's obvious that Xu Lang deserves the lion's share of the credit!

Seeing the others surrounding Qin Feifei, all looking both envious and jealous, especially An Yixuan, who seemed to have a mouth so full he could tie a donkey to it.

"Sister An, this is for you."

Xu Lang picked up another copy of the contract and threw it to An Yixuan.

"what?"

An Yixuan, who was pouting, was so excited when he received the contract that he almost floated away.

"And mine?"

She eagerly flipped open the contract, and saw that it read:

KartRider GG endorsement contract.

"What's this, KartRider?"

"A game, an online game, your 'The Legend of Sword and Fairy' is about to be released. They saw your popularity in the gaming world, so they gave you this contract, a 120 million yuan endorsement fee."

Wow~~~!

Upon hearing this, An Yixuan was so happy he almost fainted.
