Luo Xi thought for a moment and didn’t refuse.
Mi Ke continued, “By the way, I have secured the web drama you mentioned last time. Initially, the other party was worried about your popularity being too low. Now it seems the female lead role should be fine now. There’s just one issue…” He hesitated.
“What issue?” Luo Xi asked, puzzled.
“The web drama is my choice. You know that although I have some say in the company, I’m still just an employee. Many of the company’s artists want to compete for this role. The company wants to give it to their own artists. Since you are not under the company, there are some resistance to me offering you the script…”
This was true. There were indeed objections from people, and while no one dared to speak out against him directly, they felt that he was being too selfish. After all, he secured the script. He wasn’t an artist and didn’t have to follow the company’s plans strictly, so their complaints were merely dissatisfaction.
Hearing this, Luo Xi felt she was putting Mi Ke in a difficult position.
But it was such a good opportunity that she didn’t want to let it slip away. After thinking for a moment, she said, “Does that mean I need to join your company?”
“Theoretically, yes.”
“If it’s not a a five-year or ten-year contract, I’m willing. But if it requires signing something for like that, it may be a bit much.” Luo Xi frowned.
It was great to take revenge on Luo Yuyi, but sacrificing several years of her time for that didn’t seem worthwhile.
She wasn’t in a position to waste so much time on someone.
She had looked into the original novel that the web drama was based on. Although it was a typical cliché campus drama, the female lead was a tough girl who had many scenes dealing with the vicious third female lead, which she found extremely satisfying.
She would not want to take on a role where the character was a typical little white lotus who only knew how to cry when being bullied by the female supporting role.
“That’s not a problem. I can sign you under my name. Then whenever you want to leave, it’ll be simple. The company won’t force you to sign a contract with them. In their eyes, I’m part of the company. If you’re my artist, you’ll be considered one of them.” Mi Ke explained.
As long as Luo Xi was willing to join him, he wouldn’t have to worry about her being poached.
Luo Xi nodded in agreement.
The flood of entertainment news about Luo Xi online had made her well-known. Almost everyone who knew her was aware of it. Some were shocked, some were envious, some were resentful, and naturally, some were worried.
After the initial hype, scandals began to surface, and they were growing increasingly severe.
Mi Ke worried that Luo Xi was too young and might not handle the online abuse, so he arranged for someone to manage her Weibo account.
Luo Xi trusted him and didn’t hesitate. After all, seeing so many messages daily was overwhelming. Previously, she could at least respond occasionally, but now just looking at them made her dizzy. She didn’t know how to reply. It was better for her to avoid it altogether.
As for the insults, they were trivial to Luo Xi.
At the headquarters of the Leng family, in the president’s office, Xu Guan saw a lot of negative information about Luo Xi online and immediately reported it to the president. He wanted to see how he would handle it.
Still, he certainly didn’t want the president to see the harsh comments, as they were really unpleasant.
If he had seen a star being scolded like this before, he might have just scrolled past expressionlessly without any desire to see more.
