Chapter 58.3 Refusal to Provide Evidence!
"First of all, I haven't signed with a company, so our employment relationship needs to be formalized; your primary task is to help me register a personal studio and then sign an employment contract."
"In the early days of the studio, it was just the two of us. You would need to be an all-around assistant, with responsibilities covering agent, personal assistant, work execution, and business liaison."
"Most importantly, you must be able to respond at any time when I need you."
Xu Lang put forward his requirements. Given his current situation, the workload was not large, and he could handle it all by himself. Moreover, he could personally participate in many things.
Hehe took out his notebook and wrote down what he said:
"What exactly does a real estate agent do?"
As a newcomer to the industry, Xu Lang explained everything to her clearly, including how the studio operates.
He listened to a set of words and nodded repeatedly, while also being quite surprised.
You've only been in the entertainment industry for a short time, how come you know all these rules and operating models so well?
Little did people know that the soul of this young man was that of a middle-aged man who had been working in the entertainment industry for over a decade.
"Hehe, we're friends, so I might be a bit blunt. If you can't accept that, we can end it now!"
Looking at the densely packed work notes, he said:
"Simply put, it's just serving you, which is much better than serving more than thirty kids in kindergarten!"
"Great job! Shall we go get a business license first? After all, I can't do this for you."
Xu Lang was surprised by her quick acceptance and said, "Why don't you rest for a few days? Let Mengyan show you around!"
"No need, it's not like I haven't been here before!" Hehe said without any politeness.
"I need to get this done for you as soon as possible, so I can sign an employment contract and get paid!"
"Alright, let's go now. I need to go to the capital later!"
After Bai Mengyan finished showering, the two were about to leave when they learned that they had reached an agreement and were about to begin implementing it.
"You guys are incredibly efficient!" Bai Mengyan looked at her best friend and laughed.
"I have no problem with your execution, but even if it's urgent, you have to eat breakfast before you take action!"
The three of them went downstairs together.
We found a breakfast shop nearby and chatted while we ate.
The two girls chatted and laughed, their pleasant laughter ringing out from time to time.
Xu Lang's phone rang. It was Yu Zheng calling, asking if he was busy and wanting to talk to him about "Ban Shu Legend".
"Teacher Yu, where are you? I'm coming to find you!"
"I'll be waiting for you at the breakfast stall where we first met!"
"good!"
Xu Lang stood up and beckoned to the girl beside him, "Hehe, let's go!"
"Ah... okay!" Hehe was a little slow to react at first, but got into the zone in about half a second.
"Mengyan, eat slowly!"
Bai Mengyan waved her hand: "Go on, go on, get busy!"
The two turned and left.
Bai Mengyan watched the two figures leave, a smile appearing on her lips. She had helped her good friend out, and hoped it would be a good thing for her.
Heading to the stalls in Hengdian!
Yu Zheng was already sitting at the small dining table waiting, listening to the electric scooter beside him, and he took a bite of a fried dough stick.
Xu Lang walked straight to the stall owner, ordered two breakfasts, and also paid for Yu Zheng's meal.
Hehe stood to the side, a little surprised, but Xu Lang took the breakfast from the stall owner and put it in her hand. She kept her doubts to herself.
The two sat down next to Yu Zheng.
"Mr. Xu Lang, would you be interested in joining our 'Ban Shu Legend' production team? Jing Tian is our first choice for the female lead. You would like to work with her. According to our market research, this drama has a very high chance of becoming a hit."
As he spoke, he took a contract from his briefcase, placed it on the table, and pushed it in front of Xu Lang:
"These are the conditions I personally drafted. As long as you agree, the lead male role is yours."
Xu Lang showed no intention of opening the contract, took a sip of his soy milk, and just chuckled to himself.
"Teacher Yu, let me introduce you. This is Hehe, my agent and assistant."
"Uh..." Yu Zheng's smile froze a little.
He didn't pay attention to the girl from the beginning; she wasn't particularly attractive, and he assumed she was Xu Lang's new girlfriend.
I never expected it to be...
"Which company did you sign with?"
His tone was somewhat cold!
Didn't you say I was your first choice?
You really didn't tell me the truth. You signed someone else without telling me or giving me any advance notice.
The anger in his heart slowly flared up—he felt very uncomfortable about being tricked.
Xu Lang noticed the change in his micro-expression and hurriedly explained:
"Teacher Yu, I haven't signed with any company. I plan to set up my own studio."
"From now on, all my affairs will be handled by the studio. She is the first partner I found."
Upon hearing this, Yu Zheng's expression softened slightly, the coldness faded, and a hint of surprise and confusion appeared.
After a moment of silence, he asked, "Mr. Xu Lang, in our industry, acting skills are just an entry ticket; resources and connections are the real currency. You've just started out, haven't made any progress yet, and you're already trying to have it all. How far do you think you can go?"
Currently, some artists do set up independent personal studios, but that's something only top-tier celebrities do.
Having risen to the top, they have accumulated a lot of resources and connections in the industry, which gives them the confidence to operate independently.
For a complete newcomer like Xu Lang to establish an independent personal studio is tantamount to suicide; he's destined to go nowhere.
Xu Lang took a bite of the fried dough stick and said, "Teacher Yu, I believe things will get better and better. I may not get the chance to play the male lead as soon as I do now, but I believe it will happen in the future."
"Teacher Yu, if possible, I would love to act in 'Ban Shu Legend', but I'm afraid I won't get the male lead role. I'm willing to accept any role you give me."
Xu Lang remained silent and did not speak immediately.
While biting into a fried dough stick and drinking soy milk, my mind was racing.
Xu Lang's acting skills and looks are both top-notch. He's even hired an assistant, so it's highly likely that he'll establish an independent studio.
At least it shouldn't be signed under someone else's name, otherwise it would be too embarrassing for me, and I would inevitably be ridiculed by many people in the industry, such as Yang Mi and Liu Shishi.
He can accept the current result.
Xu Lang didn't speak. He knew that Yu Zheng was definitely weighing the pros and cons. He had expressed his willingness to participate, and if he was rejected, he wouldn't be disappointed. Instead, he would feel a little fortunate.
He didn't want to be in the same production crew as Jing Tian for the time being; the wire stunt incident was still fresh in his mind, and he didn't want to experience it a second time.
Hehe, who was experiencing this kind of scene for the first time, remained silent and observed carefully.
"Mr. Xu Lang, I've been strongly recommending you for the lead role of Wei Ying, but it seems that's not going to happen. As for the other roles, I'll have to go back and discuss it with my team."
Yu Zheng didn't make any absolute statements; they're all in the same industry, and they might be able to use each other in the future.
Leave a little space, so we can meet again in the future!
"I understand, it's alright!" Xu Lang said calmly, "I completely understand, I'm the one who's wronged!"
After finishing the last sip of soy milk, Yu Zheng stood up:
"I'll get back to work now, you guys enjoy your meal!"
……
Just as Yu Zheng left the breakfast stall, his phone rang. He picked it up and saw it was Jing Tian!
"Good morning, Teacher Jingtian!"
"Good morning, Teacher Yu!" came Jing Tian's sweet voice from the other end.
Has the male lead for our drama "Ban Shu Legend" been cast yet?
"It's settled. It's an artist under my studio. I'll give you his WeChat ID so you can get to know him first?"
"No need, I'd like to recommend someone to you!"
"Oh? Who?"
"Xu Lang is the same Xu Lang who played Yelü Qi in your previous drama 'The Return of the Condor Heroes'."
