Chapter 155 The Heirs 13
"I'm fine." She raised her coffee and faced him - to be honest, Yu Ziran's face was extraordinarily handsome under the light of the street lamp, and Zhu Yue's attitude towards him softened unconsciously.
"Thank you for your concern."
Zhu Yue, who considers herself to be a heart of stone, would be somewhat surprised by the thoughtfulness of such a handsome guy.
The main reason is that she felt that Yu Ziran was not such a good-tempered senior.
"So let's talk about that play."
Zhu Yue glanced at the time in confusion. It was 8:30 in the evening.
"Perhaps you will wonder why I came to you." Yu Ziran said, "I hope you can understand my worries. After falling out with the company, I don't know if I can still see you maintain your form and play my leading role more than two years later."
Ah, that’s it.
"Even if I tell you not to worry, you won't believe me." Zhu Yue said, "Do you have any ideas?"
Someone who can be an artist and do the job well.
I'm more or less a perfectionist.
"I can help you solve this problem." Yu Ziran said, "As long as you promise me one thing."
"What?" Zhu Yue asked curiously.
She was not surprised that Yu Ziran had a way to solve it. The difficulties and tricky situations she was facing now were not worth mentioning for an artist of Yu Ziran's level who was extremely popular.
Why did the company choose to attack her at this time, before the movie was released, and make her sign an unfair contract? It was because they wanted to take advantage of the prisoner mentality of newcomers who were just one step away from becoming famous.
It can be said that just a few words from him could change her current situation in the company.
"You have to sign a contract with me privately." Yu Ziran looked at her. His eyes were calm and clear at this moment, and he hinted at the picky nature of a perfectionist.
"Make sure to maintain this state until the film is finished."
"If you get fat, ugly, or crooked, or take other roles, does that mean your contract will be unconditionally invalidated?" Zhu Yue also looked at him, her eyes were just as calm this time, and a little more indifferent than his.
"Yes." Yu Ziran admitted. "Correspondingly, during this period, I will pay you a salary every month."
"Do you have a way to prevent the company from giving me jobs for a few years?" Zhu Yue raised his eyebrows. It was not easy to do this.
At least, no matter how popular he is, it is impossible.
No one can stop a company from making money.
"I have some km of shares." Yu Ziran said, "You don't have to worry about that."
"Think about it carefully."
He glanced at the time, pulled up her sleeve, and stood beside her to shield her from the cold wind.
"It's getting late. I'll take you back."
Zhu Yue did not doubt his words. Instead, his words confirmed her guess. She thought of Jim's unnatural expression when he heard her mention Yu Ziran, and his actions when she had an argument with Supervisor Gao, which seemed to be persuading her but was actually fanning the flames.
These all have reasonable explanations.
"So, the major shareholder who is a director of the Empire State Building that Jim mentioned is you?"
She followed Yu Ziran to his car, which was another luxury car that she didn't recognize but looked very expensive. Yu Ziran opened the door for her, holding his hand carefully on top, and watched her sit down before he walked around to the side and sat in the driver's seat.
As she got closer, Zhu Yue smelled a faint, pleasant scent of perfume and also noticed his sapphire cufflinks.
She had met many male celebrities, but none of them gave her as strange a feeling as Yu Ziran.
Now thinking back to my initial impression of him on the set, it didn’t seem like it was really him. Was he thinking about some other role?
Tonight he completely overturned Zhu Yue's first impression of him.
But one thing is for sure.
In his eyes, she was a poor little sister who needed help.
During the conversation tonight, he wanted to help her while taking care of her self-esteem without leaving any trace.
How strange.
There are still people with such personalities in this circle.
"I am the major shareholder. I am not the senior director of the empire. I am in charge by an agent." Yu Ziran replied.
He remembered something, "By the way, you are studying in that school now."
"I have an empty house over there, you can move in." Yu Ziran said. "After the contract is signed, you don't have to go to the company until you reach adulthood, so there's no need to live in the original dormitory."
"You..." She didn't turn her head to look at his eyes when he spoke, to see if they were as calm and clear as just now.
The indifference in her eyes dissipated unconsciously.
"Hmm?" He hummed in confusion and turned in the direction of Imperial High.
"Why are you so nice to me?"
"This is not good for you." Yu Ziran tightened his grip on the steering wheel, "Don't think too highly of men. I help you because the result will be better for me."
Zhu Yue chuckled, but soon stopped.
"No, I won't live in your house," she said. "There are too many classmates there to explain."
"Just send me back to the company dormitory."
Now that I think about it, the company dormitory is actually the most suitable place to live. It is safe and the most reasonable.
Yu Ziran tapped the steering wheel with his fingers and said nothing more.
He thought of Imperial Gao's usual style, and his eyes turned dark for a moment, then quickly returned to normal.
The car was driven all the way to the downstairs of the company, and Zhu Yue got out of the car at an intersection without surveillance cameras.
"If you need any help, please contact me." Yu Ziran said, "I will be responsible for you until the filming of the drama."
"I won't be polite with you, boss."
Zhu Yue made a joke and waved goodbye to him as she got out of the car.
Compared with Yu Ziran, who debuted as a child star and is extremely popular, she is far behind, but Zhu Yue is actually not in a hurry.
The tasks in this world were not difficult, and her current age was not the best time to start.
Therefore, when Yu Ziran proposed the contract, Zhu Yue did not reject it immediately. She had already thought about her future career plan before she discussed the terms and conditions with the company.
The contract proposed by Yu Ziran just happened to be in line with her idea, so that was why she obeyed and accepted his kindness.
Zhu Yue realized that with her personality, it would be difficult for her to make it in this country, and being an actor is not just about having good acting skills.
People live in this world, and where there are interests there are interest groups. If she wants to get promoted, she will have to compete with countless people. When everyone is young and has acting skills, it’s about other things. There are actors who are obedient and willing to pay, even though they are not so beautiful, and actors like her who are beautiful but disobedient and unwilling to give up something.
It’s really hard to say which one the company will choose.
The more Zhu Yue observed, the more he realized that although the number of people here was far less than that in the domestic entertainment industry, the competition and the dark side were much more serious than those in the domestic entertainment industry.
In the domestic entertainment industry, as long as you are popular enough, there will be no shortage of people supporting you. Investors with money know that you can bring them benefits and will never ask for your sexual favors. They are not short of these. If they have money, there are many beautiful young models and prostitutes who are willing to be with them.
But it is different here. No matter how popular you are, if you have no background and are just an ordinary person like Zhu Yue, you will not have the opportunity to stand out. Even if you have the opportunity to become popular, you will be suppressed without any hesitation if you don't listen.
Zhu Yue thought of an idiom: "The smaller the temple, the more evil the wind," and felt that it was very suitable for this place.
