Retired Villainess Transmigrates into a Cannon Fodder

Golden Agent of the Adonis (6)

Chu Xiang thought about Chen Lifeng’s contract— the actor owned 70% of the earnings and the company only took 30%. This year, Chen Lifeng also won the Best Actor Award. If the contract was up for renewal, it was likely that Chen Lifeng would obtain a share of 80%.

At this point, too many youngsters wanted to enter the entertainment industry. Therefore, entertainment companies didn’t have a shortage of people and the contracts have become rather harsh. This kind of contract would last for about five years and only 40% of the earnings would be given. It wasn’t the most demanding deal and it wasn’t the most fast-earning either, but it was true that these sorts of contracts were usually given to newcomers.

Chu Xiang told the truth, “The entertainment industry is formed like a pyramid structure— those who make money can really make a lot of money, but there are countless unknown people who can’t earn money that are fumbling at the bottom. Signing with an entertainment company doesn’t guarantee that you will have a job. The company would have to see what sort of talents, advantages and how much commercial value there is before they provide you a chance to try. If you seize the opportunity and perform well while bringing benefits to the company, or if the company decides that you have the potential of becoming famous, then you can obtain more opportunities. Naturally, by then, you would be able to earn a lot of money.”

She thought about it and said, “Xingchen Entertainment does not have a default day of remuneration. If the work is completed without any problems, you will be likely to receive the money in a day or two,” After she finished speaking, she looked at Fang Zhenxuan from top to bottom.

Fang Zhenxuan subconsciously sat up straighter and looked at her. Chu Xiang smiled and said, “But you don’t have to worry. With this appearance of yours and with you having such a good figure, it would be hard for you not to become popular. If your acting skills are not bad and you can sing a few more songs, you will probably remain popular for a longer time. The 4-6 share is a rather huge limit though, so if you’re not in a rush, you can wait till I’m discharged from the hospital. I’ll try to ask the company about your contract and see if I can negotiate a better one for you.”

This was a pleasant surprise for Fang Zhenxuan. He smiled and said, “Thank you, Miss Chu. I can wait as I’m not in much of a hurry at present,” After he spoke, he remembered that she was blacklisted on social media, so he wasn’t sure if she would be able to retain her position as an agent. Looking at Chu Xiang now, he guessed that she probably enjoyed her job, didn’t she? If she were to lose her job after getting discharged from the hospital, would she be very saddened about it?

Chu Xiang guessed what he was thinking by seeing the subtle expression changes on his face and couldn’t help laughing. What will be will be, so she stretched out her hand and said, “Please give me my mobile phone, I haven’t asked for leave yet, so I don’t know if the company will need me for anything.”

“Uh…” Fang Zhenxuan got up to get her bag, “Should I contact your family first? I will take Xinxin for an infusion later, so it would be better for your family to come and take care of you.”

Chu Xiang smiled lightly and said, “My family is gone and I’m fine now after waking up, so I don’t really need to call someone. The bag, please.”

Fang Zhenxuan looked at Chu Xiang. He didn’t expect her to not have a family like him and she was still in such a miserable state. Even so, he didn’t have any other reason to stop her from looking at her phone, so he handed her the bag, pursed his lips and said, “Actually, nothing else is more important than your own health. Only by maintaining a healthy body can you solve all the troubles up ahead. ”

Chu Xiang nodded with a smile and took out her phone. When the original owner was sad and drunk, she didn’t want to contact anyone, so she muted the notifications. As soon as she turned it on, she found that the company colleagues, the original owner’s girlfriends, and many people who had a good relationship with the original owner had called her.

The company made the most calls and there were a lot of messages. Even her WeChat page wasn’t loading for a moment due to the sudden influx of messages.

She took a brief look and replied to them one by one, informing them that she was fine and asking them not to worry before she called the company manager.

After doing this several times, she was a little tired. She was tired of holding the phone, but she couldn’t bother Fang Zhenxuan all the time, so she turned on the hands-free mode and placed the phone on the quilt.

When the call was connected, the manager on the other side spoke in a very bad tone, “Chu Xiang, why haven’t you answered the phone? What are you and Chen Lifeng arguing about? How true are those rumors on the Internet?”

Chu Xiang leaned on the bed and said, “It’s all fake. With how long I have been in the company, when have I ever caused something this messy?”

The manager was silent for a while before he said, “Chen Lifeng came to the company early in the morning and he even chose a new agent called Li Ou. During the company meeting, he didn’t say anything about it, but it’s probably true.”

Xingchen Entertainment was one of the Big Three companies in the entertainment industry, so it was not an unreasonable company. Even if they had to choose one to support whilst letting go of the other that didn’t bring as much benefits to the team, they weren’t the type to convict indiscriminately.

Now, the manager’s intention was to find out the truth and see who had evidence to back their statements. The final decision would depend on the situation.
