Starting Over in the Entertainment Circle (NPH)

Chapter 76: Exchanging conditions

Although Yan Xi responded to the media by saying “celebrating birthday”, for the next few days, the internet was still widely gossiping about Yan Xi as the main focus.

They weren’t just speculating about her relationship with Gong Yun Ting right now, the “love and hatred” between Yan Xi, Gong Ding Chen and Chen Man Xi was also fabricated and exaggerated by the nosy media, being repeatedly published in multiple forms. They dug out Gong Yun Ting’s past dating history, and also the “grudges within the wealthy family” of Gong Yun Ting and Gong Ding Chen.

Needless to say, after combining Yan Xi’s name and a few other names, she was on the top searches for a few more days.

Chun Jie didn’t arrange any PR team for this. This popularity that came for free helped Chun Jie to pick up some endorsement for Yan Xi. The love scandal between Yan Xi and both the uncle and nephew had been depicted as a love affair that was much more interesting than a novel. It had a winding storyline, entwined with love and hate.

When Yan Xi was at the movie studio to act her role in <Swordsman> these few days, the media would come to visit and repeatedly ask her for verification.

Yan Xi did not give any response to all of them and only promoted her new film.

Her assistant Xiao Qi was also the same. Ever since Yan Xi signed a contract with Cheng Feng Movies, she obviously became more and more famous. As her fans increased, her notices also increased, even her assistant’s phone would ring non-stop the whole day. There would always be someone wanting to get in touch with her.

Yan Xi had just finished a night shoot, she’d endured it for a long time so she felt very tired. Xiao Qi was about to pass the hot tea in a thermos cup to Yan Xi, when Yan Xi’s personal phone in her pocket started ringing. Xiao Qi took it out to see it, there was no name on it, but Xiao Qi could recognize the phone number on top. It was Yan Xi’s “ex-boss” who had never-ending scandals with her, Gong Ding Chen.

Director Chen that Gong Ding Chen had mentioned was naturally the representative figure of the Chinese film industry, Chen Hua Sheng.

He said: “I’ve taken a look at your schedule, you need to come back to the imperial city to shoot the cover photo on Wednesday. That night, I’ll come pick you up to meet Director Chen.”

This was a perfect chance that many actors dreamed for. But Yan Xi rejected it easily: “On Wednesday night, I’m not free.”

Gong Ding Chen said: “Your schedule is free.”

“I’m really not free.” Yan Xi said: “After I finish the photoshoot, I promised Yun Ting to…”

“Didn’t you want to focus on your career?” Gong Ding Chen cut her off. His tone quickly turned icy cold. He didn’t want to hear what she said next, he didn’t want to know where she was going with Gong Yun Ting or what they wanted to do.

Yan Xi leaned against the chair: “I still need to balance work and rest.”

Gong Ding Chen’s tone became even colder: “You’re angry at me.”

Yan Xi said plainly: “There’s no need.”

“……”

After a short silence, there seemed to be a sigh from the other side of the phone. It was still Gong Ding Chen who spoke first: “The main lead has been chosen to be you, Director Chen wants to meet you.”

Chen Hua Sheng had stayed overseas since his early years, he would only come back to the country to shoot films and promote his new project. Looking back at Yan Xi’s position in the past, she naturally couldn’t even get the chance to even see his face, not to mention contacting him.

Yan Xi said: “What’s the condition?”

She was naturally asking him about the condition behind giving her such privilege.

“No condition.” Gong Yun Ting said: “You need this movie, you like this movie, you’re suitable for this movie, so I give you this movie.”

Yan Xi smiled: “I’ve never seen Mr. Gong to be this generous in the past.”

In the past, both him and her seemed to be tagged with a price. But even so, she could only act as a female supporting role in a bad and cliché script. Since she was tagged with a price, in his eyes, she was just a cheap b*tch.

Since it was about work, Yan Xi’s voice also became gentler, but the words she said still sounded jarring in Gong Ding Chen’s ears: “Since it’s about work, then I request Mr. Gong to discuss this with my manager, or my boss.”

Yan Xi’s manager was Chun Jie. Chun Jie was with Cheng Feng Movies, who were both under Gong Ding Chen’s company.

In other words, they had nothing to talk about right now.
