Chapter 98: All Around Butler of the Workplace
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Xue Yu even specially made a call to Yun Xiangxiang after that, “Junior, are you a lucky star? You inherit the natural disposition to get free promotion!”
It wasn’t there in the early stages of “Caring Love,” but her influence to promote herself without doing anything was on full display after it was screened.
It was even more impressive when it came to “University Dream.” She topped the nation in the National College Entrance Exam and enrolled into the top university. On top of that, her film was called “University Dream.” It could be said that half of “University Dream”‘s box office came from her ability to promote.
It also happened that this promotion wasn’t done on intention. It didn’t even need money. But it had even more influence than paid promotions. It had better effects too.
She was even followed when she was filming “Justice and Selflessness.” And now she still dropped a shocking bombshell just one day before the concert. Even though Xue Ye didn’t really need any more attention with his current abilities and status, who would say no to this kind of promotion?
Judging from the number of people moaning about their regret of not being able to snag a ticket for the concert for their own, it had broken the record of highest number of people begging for tickets.
“Everything is a coincidence...” Yun Xiangxiang wasn’t being modest. She really felt that it happened by chance.
“No, it is because you’re good enough,” Xue Yu said seriously, which was a rare sight.
Only those who were good enough could seize the opportunity and turn it into earth-shattering praise by everyone else, and not getting slandered.
“Senior, keep that up and I’ll have my chin too high up in the sky,” Yun Xiangxiang giggled. “I’ll have to go for training. Can’t talk now. See you tomorrow.”
“Training?” Xue Yu asked out of curiosity.
“I’m fighting for the sake of ‘Tiantian’! You’ll know in time,” Yun Xiangxiang was planning to knock everyone out. Naturally she would not leak anything yet. She didn’t even tell He Wei.
“I can’t wait,” Xue Yu was liking his little junior more and more. He was also increasingly anticipating the surprise she would bring.
Of course his affection had no romance in the mix. Even though Xue Yu thought that Yun Xiangxiang was mature and had none of the naivete of a young girl; he still treated her as a kid due to her age.
After she hung up, Yun Xiangxiang went into the training room once more with resolution. It was another session of intolerable pain before she was allowed to sleep.
He Wei drove Yun Xiangxiang to the sports center himself the next day. It was still undergoing some final cleanup and decoration. The stage was already set. It didn’t hinder Yun Xiangxiang and Xue Yu’s final practice at all.
He Wei still paid great importance to the first collaboration between his two actors. He gave his opinions on it. They busied themselves until three o’clock before going to rest after they were satisfied with everything.
“The company has agreed to invest in your filming of ‘Villainess.” But I think that the name will be changed in the later stages,” He Wei informed Yun Xiangxiang during their break. “You don’t have to worry about the investors. However, the company has decided to start the preparations for this movie in March next year.”
Getting the investments ready, preparing the venues, and settling things pertaining to the aftermath. It was already October now. Starting in March next year wasn’t actually slow.
“I understand. Thank you, Brother Wei,” Yun Xiangxiang nodded.
“I suggest that you accept one film before your finals. Apply for leave to go sit for your exams during the finals. Try to finish filming it before the winter break starts,” He Wei advised again. “I have a few scripts on hand. All of them will start filming in a month or two. All of them haven’t decided on who would be their female protagonist. I’ll bring it to you tomorrow.”
“Alright. As for my studies, I’ll go for extra tuition this month. I’ll try my best to finish everything in this semester earlier,” She would be able to film with her mind at ease like this.
“Lastly, the thing about your image as spokesperson...”
He Wei paused, “Lots of people have contacted me since yesterday. I may advocate for you to tread the high-end path, but most of your films’ content walk along the path of the people. It’ll give off a hypocritical vibe in the long run. So I picked a few domestic advertisements for you. There’s furniture, electronics, and food products. It’s your choice.”
Once again, Yun Xiangxiang sighed in relief. She was an actress that fell into the well of good fortune for having such an all-round agent.
If Yun Xiangxiang kept being a spokesperson for foreign luxurious brands, it could easily trigger repugnance and antipathy from the nationalists. Even if it had nothing to do with being patriotic, those who disliked you would still pick at any little imperfections they could find.
Don’t underestimate the label of being unpatriotic. Once it was set, putting aside the damage it would cause for the image, it would greatly limit any career expansion.
It would arouse the feeling of aversion toward the works of those actors.
There was nothing closer to the people than home electronics and food products. They were either the necessities for every family, or they were snacks adored by teens and children alike.
What was most important was that both of these things wouldn’t be in conflict with those top brands! They wouldn’t affect the top brands’ consideration about her!
“Old Man He, you weren’t like this to me back in the day!” Xue Yu complained once more.
He Wei wouldn’t even talk to him in such a negotiating tone during his days; he wouldn’t explain the reason behind what he did; and he wouldn’t even give him any right to choose!
If it was him, He Wei would toss the brand contract in front of him and say to him coldly, “I accepted a contract for you. Sign it. Go to shoot for promotional photos and advertisements on XX...”
“You have two paths. Reincarnate, or accept your fate,” Just as expected, He Wei stared at Xue Yu icily.
Xue Yu backed off immediately and showed a face that said there was nothing worth living for now.
Yun Xiangxiang only felt like laughing when she saw this.
“Fine, Old Man He,” Xue Yu suddenly slapped his thigh. “You’re jealous because I’m better looking than you are!”
“Pfft!” Yun Xiangxiang snorted impolitely. Xue Yu could really be amusing.
He Wei was about to retort when his phone rang. He glared at Xue Yu before exiting the lounge with a phone in his hand.
“I tell you, he wouldn’t be left with only me if he was like this since back then.”
Xue Yue started grousing about He Wei once he left, “I would have left him too if it wasn’t for us getting involved in a traffic accident together. His attitude back then was dictatorial and only knew how to give orders. Only his servant could take it.”
Yun Xiangxiang gave her response with silence. He Wei was already a gold-tier agent when she entered the company in her previous life. He only had Xue Yu under him. Rumors flew around about how difficult it was to get along with He Wei, but she didn’t have any chance to come into contact with him.
He Wei was completely different from what she imagined when she lived this life. Perhaps the He Wei in her previous life was young and wasn’t as mature; naturally he wouldn’t be as considerate as he was now.
Perhaps he subconsciously offered her the care and tolerance of an elder because he thought that Yun Xiangxiang was a girl. Not to mention she was also very young.
At any rate, Yun Xiangxiang felt that she was very blessed to be able to meet an agent like He Wei. He was essentially an all around butler at the workplace.
She didn’t need to bite her nails over anything. She only needed to follow the path he had laid down for her. It certainly would be a grand avenue with flower wreaths adorning its sides.
