It was already past ten o'clock at night when he returned to the capital from Sea City Base the previous night, so he went to bed late.
However, Li Xinyu woke up at 7 am.
Most artistes relied on their looks to make a living.
In order to maintain one's body shape and maintain one's skin, in addition to the necessary exercise and cosmetic products, it was necessary to have a regular rest.
After cleaning her personal hygiene, eating breakfast, and putting on some makeup, Li Xinyu drove her newly bought A4 back to Star Rain Entertainment.
As a C-list celebrity, she had some privileges. Li Xinyu didn't have to clock in at the company she signed with every day.
Her manager had called her back to the company this time.
After greeting a few of her acquaintances who were also D-list and C-list celebrities, Li Xinyu walked to the door of her manager's office. Just as she was about to knock on the door, the door opened.
Sister Ying came out of the office.
He was an A-list star of Star Rain Entertainment, a multi-talented actor in film, television, and music. He was also the number one signed artist of Li Xinyu's manager.
Recently, the company had spared no effort in investing resources in her.
Of course, there was no shortage of film contracts and advertisements.
"Take care, Sister Ying. I'll follow up on your movie contract as soon as possible and definitely fight for the best treatment for you!”
Zhou Bing, the manager who usually put on a cold face in front of B-and C-list celebrities, had a completely different attitude towards Sister Ying, an A-list movie star.
Li Xinyu couldn't help but feel envious.
Sister Ying was only 23 or 24 years old. Zhou Bing was 10 years older than her.
However, including Zhou Bing, at least 99% of the people in Xing Hai Entertainment had to call her sister.
In the entertainment industry, especially for celebrities, seniority was not determined by age or experience.
Li Xinyu could only be envious.
After all, the word "sister" was exchanged for real money.
If she could also bring in more than 30 million yuan in commission to the company every year, even the company's department managers would politely call her Sister Yu.
Now, Li Xinyu naturally couldn't be compared to Sister Ying.
When the other party walked past her, he did not even look at her.
After sending Sister Ying off, Zhou Bing's face instantly darkened. He looked at Li Xinyu coldly and said,""Come in."
Zhou Bing went straight back to his office chair and sat down. He did not let Li Xinyu sit down.
"Where did you go yesterday?" he asked with a dark face. Why didn't he pick up his phone or reply to his messages?”
"I went to Sea City yesterday and bought a car for convenience," Li Xinyu said apologetically.”
"I left my phone at my best friend's house and forgot to bring it out.”
On the surface, the celebrity was responsible for doing the job well and then receiving the remuneration. The manager was responsible for accepting the job and then taking a cut of the celebrity's remuneration. The relationship between the two was an equal partnership.
But in reality, as long as it was a cooperation, there would definitely be strengths and weaknesses.
It was obvious.
Zhou Bing was in a weak position in front of Sister Ying.
In front of a C-list celebrity like Li Xinyu, she was absolutely domineering.
"If every artiste is like you, how can our manager accept contracts for you?" he said coldly.”
"If we manage to negotiate but can't find the person, who will still cooperate with me in the future?”
"I'm sorry, I won't do this again next time." Li Xinyu didn't dare to retort.”
Zhou Bing threw a document to Li Xinyu.""Three Rivers Films is preparing to shoot a big investment movie. This is the contract I fought for you.”
"Although your role is only the seventh female supporting role, you have a lot of lines and appearances. Moreover, you don't need to audition, and your salary is not bad.”
Li Xinyu was instantly overjoyed. She did not expect to be able to take on a movie so soon.
Even though the seventh supporting role would not have much weight.
However, for a newbie on the big screen, this was already a pretty good role, not to mention that the salary was close to two million.
Filming a movie wouldn't take long, especially for such a supporting role. It was even possible to finish filming in three to five days. 1.8 million was quite good.
The last two TV series she filmed took half a year to film, but she only earned three million yuan.
"Thank you, Brother Zhou!"
Just as Li Xinyu was about to take a look at the document, Zhou Bing suddenly said in a deep voice,"Wait!"
"This contract is very good, so I've invited the director and producer of this movie to dinner to thank them for giving you this opportunity.”
"Come with me."
Li Xinyu hesitated for a moment before she gritted her teeth and said,""Brother Zhou, I have something to do tonight. Why don't we talk about it another day?”
Zhou Bing's face suddenly darkened, and his voice became extremely stern.""Li Xinyu! How many times have you used this excuse?"
"Let me tell you, this is the last chance I'm giving you!”
"Since you can do this, you know what price you have to pay!”
He looked at Li Xinyu with a gloomy face." I'll make it clear today. As long as you accompany them for a meal and sleep, you'll get this role."”
"There will be more opportunities in the future. It's even possible that we can use this movie to become famous! This was a big production with an investment of 200 million!”
"If you don't go today, I probably won't be able to serve a young miss like you!”
"I will terminate our contract. In the future, no other manager will be willing to sign an artiste like you!”
Li Xinyu's expression immediately turned ugly.
Zhou Bing's threat was definitely not superficial.
As a veteran manager in the entertainment industry, Zhou Bing had a rather powerful network.
If he had spoken, most managers would have given him face.
In the past, he heard that there was a newcomer who refused to listen to Zhou Bing and insisted on terminating his contract.
Zhou Bing decisively sued the newcomer and demanded that the other party pay a huge penalty for breaching the contract.
Since she could not afford to pay the penalty, she had no choice but to obey Zhou Bing's arrangements.
Li Xinyu had also heard that this newcomer had slept with several investors at the same time under Zhou Bing's arrangements.
A rookie who paid such a huge price only got a role with a few lines. In the end, he couldn't take the pressure and went crazy.
Artistes were not as glamorous as they looked on the surface.
Zhou Bing glared at Li Xinyu.
He believed that as long as he used the sharp weapon of terminating the contract, a small C-list female celebrity like Li Xinyu would definitely not be able to withstand his pressure!
He had already tried this move countless times, and there was almost no time of failure!
Tonight, he would probably be able to enjoy this pure and beautiful woman with a super hot body with that director and producer!
However, Li Xinyu hesitated for a moment before her gaze slowly became determined.
"I'm sorry, Brother Zhou. I really have something on tonight!”
