Chapter 1822: The Entertainment Industry Is a Mess

The talent agent was just about to speak when a call came in on her phone, ringing as if it were urging her towards doom. She glanced at the caller ID, immediately sat up, and pushed away Yang Yi’s arm, who was still shaking it. Frustrated, she said, “Bo Yanching!”

“Yes, yes, Bo Yanching! The richest man!”

Last time when he visited the set, Yang Yi didn’t get a chance to cozy up to him.

Rich, young, and handsome, who wouldn’t be tempted?

The talent agent had been overwhelmed these past couple of days. The company wasn’t willing to spend money on public relations, nor were they willing to call in favors, yet they gave her a strict order to resolve the matter. She had reached out to everyone she could, pleaded with anyone who might help, but when people found out it was Shu Jin, no one wanted to assist, even subtly suggesting she switch to a different artist.

She would if she could, but her own experience wasn’t deep enough. She hadn’t even received her performance bonus for the month. It was through various connections she managed to get Yang Yi into this project. Once filming was completed, she could also receive a bonus.

If not for the money, who would willingly take such nonsense!

“Director Zhang, we really didn’t push it to the trending searches, it was Zhang Zhao’s side… Yes, yes, you’re right, we can’t afford to offend him, but Zhang Zhao has always been notorious in the industry… I’m not making excuses, I’ve tried them all, the media are watching, and with Director Chen’s movie being conducted in closed filming, he won’t allow any actor from the crew to cause trouble during shooting. Now isn’t a good time for a press conference… Please calm down, I’ll resolve it as soon as possible…”

The talent agent had said everything she could, but still ended up getting scolded. Hanging up, she turned to see Yang Yi resting her chin with a lovestruck look out the window.

She followed her gaze and looked outside too.

A row of cars, so what?

“You’re really not worried at all!”

“What’s there to worry about,” Yang Yi said nonchalantly, “Even though my role is only the fifth or sixth lead, the company had a lot of people audition, and Director Chen chose me. With our small-time company, they must solve it for me, right?”

The talent agent couldn’t help but roll her eyes, “Let me remind you, your contract is still tied to the company, and the penalty for breach of contract is more than what you’ve earned over the years.”

Yang Yi was shocked, “Is it that serious?”

Didn’t you think about the consequences when you mindlessly bought trending searches!

The talent agent looked serious, “There’s some gifts in the trunk. Later, you’re going to personally take them to Shu Jin to apologize, admit your mistake, and maybe, just maybe, the great actress will let you off the hook. As for Zhang Zhao, I’ll go try him first, but if he ignores me, you’ll still have to go.”

“Why sho—”

“This role is the best you’ve gotten since you entered this industry. You know how valuable any film by Director Chen is. If you can keep the role, it will be very beneficial for your future development. If you can’t, and you get replaced halfway…”

She didn’t finish her sentence, but her glance signified a lot.

Yang Yi’s face turned pale. When she opened her mouth, her lips were quivering, but she couldn’t even form a complete sentence.

…

Nan Jiaojiao went out to get take-out. As she passed by, she happened to see Yang Yi carrying big bags towards Shu Jin’s trailer, knocking for a long time before Zhang Zhao lazily opened the door.

She glanced from afar, silently took out her milk tea, folded the take-out bag a few times before tossing it in the trash, and walked past calmly and candidly.

Every day, the things one sees in the crew are quite novel.

This circle is truly chaotic.

When she had a free moment, Nan Jiaojiao sent the design drafts to Lu Zhenzhen.
