Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Now that she had decided, Yun Xiangxiang posted a weibo post decisively.
[Actor Yun Xiangxiang V: Hello future university!! ]
Yun Xiangxiang tagged Qingdao University’s official page, attaching a picture of both her hands on the keyboard. It immediately boiled over.
[Ah, goddess chose Qingdao University’s Department of Computer Science and Technology!]
[Goddess, your hands are so fair, slender, long and beautiful {🤤}]
[Excuse me, I got seven hundred and one points. Would I be accepted?]
[{😭} There’s no way, person upstairs. I who scored six hundred and seventy points have no chance]
As soon as her Weibo was posted, those below Yun Xiangxiang were all crying horribly. All of them were top students who scored at least six hundred and fifty points and above.
This was an intriguing sight that made the group of slacker students shivere in fear. They didn’t dare to say a word.
The joy of originally managing to get into the first batch of chosen students was instantly extinguished. It was also at this time that many students realized how many top students there were in the college entrance exams each year.
Even the top student who obtained six hundred and ninety points stubbornly insisted that he would only apply for the Department of Computer Science and Technology. If he wasn’t accepted, he would immediately go back and fight again. Even if he couldn’t be her classmate, he wanted to be a reliable junior brother.
After this comment appeared, many people responded to it. Even famous writers commented on this positive influence towards studies.
For a while, some people who originally caused trouble because of Yun Xiangxiang for three days felt uncomfortable and retreated.
Regarding the three days of trouble, Yun Xiangxiang was actually intentional. It was not for the popularity or fame, but to make it easier for Qingdao to compromise.
She must have demand to get the highest treatment, but top student crying online until they had headaches was unexpected.
However, what she didn’t know was that this move of hers was taken into account by Huan Yu Century Entertainment and The Era of Stars. They noticed even more that this seventeen year old girl wasn’t simple, and she had her methods.
These two leading talent agencies could not act patient but make a move after Yun Xiangxiang decided to take this path. They dispatched their general managers to Hong Kong.
Yun Xiangxiang was a strong top student. The enthusiasm of the competition between the five schools had not faded. The Era of Stars General Manager and Huan Yu Century Entertainment General Manager appeared in Hong Kong. The news that they had also visited the “Justice and Selflessness” crew was spread out. Yun Xiangxiang had occupied the news headlines again.
This news had attracted the attention of countless actors. After all, they might not even have gained the favor of either one even if they begged.
Now that she was being eyed upon by two companies, no matter which company Yun Xiangxiang chose to enter, it was an attack to the actors of that company.
The lower-level actors would feel that there were fewer opportunities to climb upwards, and the higher-lever actors would feel that there was less resources.
“I’ll give you a day off, think about it properly.” Lin Jialiang said to Yun Xiangxiang with a smile.
Because of this wave of publicity, “Justice and Selflessness” received even more attention. Although there was no problem with the theme of this film, there would be no twists and turns in the release in mainland. However they also needed influence in the mainland.
It should be known that the highest box office in Hong Kong so far was only over forty million Hong Kong dollars. It was because of the flow of people that restricted the economy. Furthermore, the box office for Hong Kong film was not much higher than the mainland.
Yun Xiangxiang filmed for a few days. She was in good condition and most scenes were done in one-shot. She didn’t complain about being tired even after travelling to a few locations with the crew. She also came to watch during the days where she had no parts to play.
She treated everyone with the same courtesy, earning her the good graces of the whole crew. Moreover, she never arrived late or left early, as if she were a part of the crew.
To add on to that, she brought a lot of attention to the film. Lin Jialiang treasured her like precious pearls, and took care of her in every aspect.
Knowing that two major companies had come to look for her back to back, he purposely let her rest for a day to think about it carefully. After all, this would be a milestone in her life.
Yun Xiangxiang didn’t even need to consider. She had her eyes on Huan Yu Century Entertainment since the very beginning. But if one obtained something easily, they would not treasure it. Even though Huan Yu Century Entertainment had offered her conditions that satisfied her requirements, she still wanted to test it out.
Of course, she wouldn’t do something like intentionally meeting with the higher-ups from The Era of Stars to elevate herself, causing resentment from Huan Yu Century Entertainment.
For the two companies, she met them for the first time with Han Jing and Lin Jialiang accompany her. After discussing the conditions in full detail, she agreed to reply to them three days later after considering properly. She used the excuse of urgent filming to refuse their re-invitation.
She stood leisurely against the wall. Both companies had to listen to each others’ conditions, then make an estimation and increase the weight appropriately.
At this time, it wasn’t only measured based on Yun Xiangxiang’s future alone, but these two major companies that couldn’t coexist in the same plane were placing their cards on the tables and comparing.
Yun Xiangxiang’s choice was about their face, and it would also affect more actors’ sense of the two companies.
Based on the current level of Yun Xiangxiang’s popularity, “University Dream” would be broadcast soon. If the film was very hot, Yun Xiangxiang’s popularity would continue for at least one month. Hence, it could take the lead for the whole duration of the holiday.
At this time, the company that Yun Xiangxiang decided to sign with was bound to enjoy improvements in their stock performance and image. The benefits may even bleed over to other actors in their company.
This was the chain effect of celebrities.
“Why are you still hesitating?” Seeing that tomorrow was the day to give her answer, yet Yun Xiangxiang did not indicate in anyway towards Huan Yu Century Entertainment, naturally they invited Han Jing to be the persuader.
And Yun Xiangxiang was waiting for Han Jing.
She couldn’t outrightly offend The Era of Stars now. Chen Yinghui was a person who held grudges. Even if Huan Yu Century Entertainment would protect her, she still hoped to minimize the threat.
Yun Xiangxiang had always been impartial to both companies. She chose Huan Yu Century Entertainment when she met Han Jing. It was clear that Han Jing played a decisive role.
Even if The Era of Stars were to blame, they could only blame Han Jing. But relying on Han Jing’s current status, Chen Yinghui had no guts to deal with her. He could only begrudge his luck.
“You’re here to be a persuader, Teacher?” Yun Xiangxiang laughed.
“You little fox, weren’t you waiting for me to come to your doorstep?” Han Jing reached out and poked Yun Xiangxiang’s forehead.
Even though she guessed Yun Xiangxiang’s thoughts, Han Jing was still willing to approach. Chen Yinghui didn’t dare to touch her. Furthermore, she could easily let Huan Yu Century owe her a favor. Why wouldn’t she do a business that made a steady profit?
“Teacher, we are all beneficiaries.” Han Jing only got only benefits. How could Yun Xiangxiang not think of it?
“I am increasingly looking forward to you joining Huan Yu Century Entertainment.”
Han Jing could already picture He Zhen’s Joy and resent towards Yun Xiangxiang but being unable to do a thing, “He Shen asked me to make a meal for you to dine together. Top student Yun, will you accept this request?
He Shen was the son of He Zhen. He was nearly forty years old. Now he could directly control half of the company’s affairs, and he was also the general manager of Huan Yu Century Entertainment.
Yun Xiangxiang had seen him in her past life, he was a very serious man.
But the good thing about He Shen was the status as the noble son of a rich family. He married his university classmate. His wife’s appearance was unremarkable and her family was ordinary. Many people didn’t look up to him. He handled an agency company with many gorgeous women, yet he didn’t have a single scandal.
