Chapter 13：

"Jili?" Sun Yong said his name, his eyes filled with satisfaction, "I haven't been in the company for these three months, but the new recruits dug by the company look pretty good."

"Just listen to the company's arrangements and put it under my hands."

Sun Yong was an old slippery head, and at a glance he recognized the merits of Ji Li's face.

There is competition with the company’s brokers. Instead of making a good seed like Ji Li a weapon for others to make money, it is better to hold it tightly in your own hands.

Even if it is rotten, it has to be rotten in the palm of his hand.

Ji Li stood silently, her eyes gloomy. He has always been disgusted with agents like Sun Yong who would go through the ‘side evil way’.

Wang Qiuhui seemed to perceive something, and said to Sun Yong sideways, "You go find He Ling first, lest he makes any mistakes in his extreme temperament, I have to talk to Ji Li again."

Sun Yong thought of He Ling's ancestor, and his eyebrows became solemn again. His gaze moved back and forth between the two, changing his previous rhetoric.

"Okay, you can ask Ji Li to add my WeChat ID. I will find time to talk with him about future work later."

With words, he seemed to regard Ji Li as an artist under his hand.

After Sun Yong finished speaking, he walked away quickly.

Ji Li waited until his figure disappeared completely, then raised his eyes to Wang Qiuhui and said, "Leader Wang, I don't want Sun Yong to be my agent."

"Oh?" Wang Qiuhui breathed out a thin puff of smoke and looked at him with a smile, "Go in and say."

The office door was closed again.

Wang Qiuhui leaned against the table and dusted his fingertips. "You should know that the newcomer has no choice and must unconditionally obey the company's arrangements."

Hearing his grand warning, Ji Li replied calmly, "I know, but Sun Yong should not be the only agent."

"Jili, let me tell you the truth. The company's artist department is very optimistic about the potential of your face. Let Sun Yong take you out of the best consideration for you." Wang Qiuhui looked at him and analyzed it seriously.

The company's brokerage resources are limited. Except for the well-known Xiaosheng and Huadan, who can have a separate brokerage team, the rest of the newcomers need to be squeezed under the hands of several brokers on average, and there is competition for resources among each other.

"Sun Yong just signed He Ling some time ago, and there will be no shortage of resources. He Ling is about the same age and external conditions as you. You can also play the role he can play."

"If you follow other agents, you don't have such good resource conditions." Wang Qiuhui concealed some facts and persuaded, "Sun Yong has some means to enter this person, and the newcomers he has brought have not been adventurous."

There was a glimpse of Ji Li's eyes, and he couldn't tell if he saw through.

The reason why old fried dough sticks like Sun Yong specialize in newcomers is simply because they are easy to control.

Furthermore, what can the means be? In the entertainment industry, there is a lot of climbing up with ‘you love me’. It's easy to take the lead after paying the flesh, getting the resources, and adding hype.

In the book, the original owner has followed his way.

Wang Qiuhui couldn't see through Ji Li's emotions for a while, and his voice was low, "What? You still don't want to?"

"I don't want to, but I didn't have a choice, did I?" Ji Li told the truth.

"Indeed, you have no choice compared to He Ling." Wang Qiuhui said bluntly, cutting off his back.

As a newcomer with no power and influence, Ji Li knows better than anyone that he has no bargaining chip to negotiate with the company except for this face.

The original owner’s first few film and television resources should have been won by the company and Sun Yong for him. If he blatantly defies the company's decision now, I am afraid that the future will be harder.

"I see." Ji Li replied.

He has ambitions and strength, but he also understands the truth of ‘eggs can’t touch rocks’.

The original owner of the book was completely eliminated by the entertainment market because of his poor acting skills and went on a path of no return. But Ji Li is different, he is the actor who has won a trophy anyway.

As long as you choose a good script, it will be a matter of time before accumulating. After he has a certain amount of capital, it is not too late to find a good agent.

As for Sun Yong, the other party wants to lead him by the nose? It is impossible.

"You can figure it out." Wang Qiuhui breathed a sigh of relief and assured him, "Don't worry, as long as you make some splashes, I will discuss with Director Song Lan and assign you a separate agent."

Ji Li didn't care about this, and said straightforwardly, "Is Sun Yong arranged for my next film and television work?"

"Well, the company has the right resources here, and they will be pushed to you through him."

Ji Li nodded and left the office without attachment.

Wang Qiuhui squeezed out the burnt cigarettes in the ashtray. He stared at Ji Li's back and gave a deep smile.

I thought that the youth was a soft persimmon that anyone could knead, but I didn't expect it to be quite assertive. I only hope that his arrogance in his bones can last longer in this mixed circle.

…

Ji Li found a lounge and searched for He Ling's news with her mobile phone. Since he stayed under the same agent with the other party, he should know how to understand this person.

Soon, his photos and information popped up.

He Ling is the kind of common handsome look. It may be out of the eyes of passers-by, but it seems ordinary in the crowd of handsome guys in the entertainment circle.

But the victory is the victory. He Ling's face is very plastic.

He participated in an idol audition show last year. Compared with the looks in his private life, each stage makeup can give people a different surprise.

Cute, handsome, sunny, evil... completely different makeup attributes can be supported on He Ling's body, and there is no sense of disobedience.

He Ling relied on several stages of stage modeling to **** a bunch of show fans, but ended up getting stuck on the night of his debut. At that time, he was also on Weibo hot search, and he severely abused a wave of diehard fans.

It's a pity that He Ling's original company was a small workshop, and he abruptly missed his post-draft hot period. Instead, he frantically received advertisements for his fans and cut the fans' ‘leeks’.

The entertainment industry is renewing very quickly, not to mention draft idols like He Ling. In just one year, he has already lost a lot of popularity.

Four months ago, he terminated the contract with the original company and was recruited to Dream Media by Sun Yong.

He Ling did not re-enter the singing and jumping road, but picked up a young idol's online drama male one. He just finished half a month ago, and he is probably looking for new film and television resources recently.

Footsteps sounded at the door.

When Ji Li looked up, she saw Sun Yong walking in with a black briefcase. He sat down on the opposite side unceremoniously and said, "The company has divided you into my hands, so lucky you kid."

While speaking, Sun Yong looked at Ji Li's appearance again.

He has brought many newcomers, and it is still rare to be able to attract eyes like this with plain makeup. If this face doesn't become popular in the entertainment industry, it is totally unreasonable.

Although thinking this way in his heart, Sun Yong deliberately emphasized, "You should know that our company now has several film and television niches, and I brought them out of the newcomer period. As long as you listen to me obediently, I promise not to have three years. It will give you a firm foothold in the entertainment industry."

Ji Li smiled perfunctorily and asked, "... Then what video resources do I have next?"

Sun Yong didn't expect him to be so direct. After two seconds, he took out two scripts from his briefcase, "A costume drama male second, a youth drama male first or male second, it's up to you to choose."

In fact, both of these scripts are nothing but the rest.

The reason why Sun Yong brought Ji Li to choose was to establish his own image of authority in the opponent's heart.

As a newcomer who has just debuted and is not well-known, he can choose the script on his own on the first day he comes under his hands. Who does it feel excited? Who is not lucky to have a good agent?

Sun Yong leaned back in his chair, looking at the young man’s expression carelessly, but he was disappointed.

Ji Li's calm eyes didn't make any ripples. He received the two scripts at the table and said, "Okay, let me see."

"..."

That's it?

No sign of gratitude? Don't you think he is a very resourceful agent?

"Well, take a look, the costume drama has our company's investment, and the production team is a little better." Sun Yong concealed the frustration on his face, secretly calculating in his heart.

Forget it, introverts are better to control.

Feed these supporting role resources first. If you don’t know how to raise them, it’s not too late to sell them.

Sun Yong looked at Ji Li, who was cherishing his words like gold. Just as he was about to say something, an urgent noise came from the door, "Brother Yong, Shao He quarreled with the staff in the studio, and he is angry looking for you!"

The person here is He Ling's assistant. He has just been scolded by He Ling for no reason. He was so angry that he was crying.

Sun Yong frowned and cursed secretly, "This little ancestor, what kind of young master temper! Lao Tzu is his agent, so he has to coax him every day?"

Having said that, he stood up.

Although He Ling had a bad temper, he still had a lot of oil and water. Sun Yong didn't want to let go of this cash cow for the time being.

"Jili, look at it for yourself, you'd better give me a reply in these two days." Sun Yong scribbled.

Ji Li replied casually and waited until people left before he picked up the ancient costume script on the table.

Ji Li read the outline of the characters on the first page, and then roughly read a few pages of the script content—

It is a common tool man in costume dramas. He clearly met the heroine first and did gentle things for her, but in the end he was defeated by the hero who possessed the protagonist's aura.

The ancient puppet online dramas like this have the same routines, no brains and no logic, and it will take a few years for an explosive drama to appear for an unprecedented number of years. If it fails, the male second can only become a foil under the protagonist's role.

Ji Li shook his head to veto, and closed the script altogether.

He could guess that these scripts were left over by He Ling, either because of poor quality or underinvestment.

If you switch to another newcomer who just debuted, I am afraid that as long as you have a script and a job, you can take over the script happily.

But Ji Li has his own career attitude. Before the moment of desperation, he is unwilling to lower his pursuit of scripts and roles. The original protagonist has played too many such ancient puppets, and his acting skills have been squandered.

Ji Li rubbed his eyebrows and picked up another script.

The theme of youth secret love, according to Sun Yong, this movie is still a small-cost investment.

Ji Li didn't hold up much hope, but she still opened the script carefully, only to be fascinated unknowingly.

It wasn't until the sky outside the window was completely dark that Ji Li finished reading the last monologue of the script—

"I am like a lobbyist out of time, trying to fulfill each of them in the reincarnation again and again."

Ji Li sighed long before rubbing his sore eye sockets.

He turned back to the character summary column at the beginning, and his eyes fell quietly on the last character name.

Xiang Suian, male number three.
