Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Ye Tianxin lowered her head and glanced at the gold-embossed name card. Jing Entertainment Group… The company would become the biggest entertainment company in the country in 10 years.
“Ye Tianxin, it’s like this. I saw you from the interview at Capital Film Academy. I really enjoyed your performance and want to have you on board. From now on, we will manage all your activities. I have already drafted a management contract. You can review it and let me know.”
Jing Zhichen handed over the management contract to Ye Tianxin. She then proceeded to read it.
She thought that the contract was rather odd. She was a newbie and did not deserve a contract with such great terms.
“Mr. Jing, I am very sorry. I do not have any intention of signing with a management company for now.”
Ye Tianxin thought that the entire situation was rather weird. Something must be up. Otherwise, would there be a contract with such good terms? This must be some kind of a trap.
The profit ratio she would receive from signing with Jing Entertainment Group was 8:2.
She was just a newbie, but Jing Entertainment Group had given her an A-list contract. How could this be possible?
Did these people think that just because she was from the suburbs, she was naïve?
Jing Zhichen was very patient. He thought that Ye Tianxin just needed a little push. He pressed further, “Ye Tianxin, don’t be mistaken. I know that you have already signed a contract with the great director, Jin Xin. That is why I gave you such good terms on the contract. You might not have heard of my company. We are not a big company yet, but Jing Entertainment Group will definitely become the most sought-after firm in the country. Both local and international artists will come and work for me.”
Ye Tianxin nodded. ‘Yes, you will be successful. You did make everything you just said come true.’
“You will definitely succeed. I believe in you.”
Jing Zhichen was delighted by Ye Tianxin’s response. She was indeed Li Qingcang’s savior.
She was just like his bro.
“Ye Tianxin, I love your character. I truly want you to sign with us. Please believe me on this. Furthermore, I will give you full autonomy and will not force you to take part in films you don’t like.”
Even though Ye Tianxin knew it would be impolite to interrupt Jing Zhichen, she still did so.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Jing. I will not continue to stay in the entertainment industry,” she began. “I only took on this film because first, Jin Xin is a renowned director. Second, I need money. I will no longer act once this movie is over. Ergo, I don’t have to sign a management contract…”
Jing Zhichen could not wrap his mind around what Ye Tianxin had just said.
Was she telling the truth?
Did she know what awaited her once she starred in a film directed by Jin Xin?
No “Xin Girl” could remain anonymous. Absolutely no one. They eventually all became A-listers and were on top of their careers.
“Ye Tianxin, you are filming a movie by Director Jin Xin. Wouldn’t it be a pity if you quit just like that?”
Ye Tianxin shook her head. She knew better than anyone that young and beautiful artists would take over in the next 10 years. Those who genuinely love acting would eventually be overtaken by them.
She did not want to become a star that would eventually be a has-been.
She wanted to be the brightest star in the sky.
“Mr. Jing, I will not continue to stay in the entertainment industry, and my life belongs somewhere else.”
Jing Zhichen thought that he was screwed. Would he fail at the task Li Qingcang had assigned him?
“Ye Tianxin, it is stated clearly on the contract that you will have autonomy. The management contract will not hinder you from undertaking any projects. If you feel that the company is not treating you well enough, you can also terminate the contract any time.”
