TPH Chapter 15

The Protagonist’s Halo [Arc 1] Chapter 15: Entertainment Circle Vase (20)

After signing the contract, the new company arranged a new agent for her. Her name was Bu Yu, a young woman with heroic features and a refreshing demeanor.

“The termination of your contract with your former company will be handled by the company’s legal department, and the termination fee will also be paid by the company. Do you have any objections?”

Her speaking manner is quite friendly, she won’t make arrangements in a condescending manner, nor will she be too warm and intimate right away.

Xiao Han nodded. It would be best if the new company could handle these troubles for her.

It was their first meeting, and Xiao Han was too lazy to spend a whole day chatting to get to know each other, so she just took out the prepared things from her bag and handed them to Bu Yu.

Xiao Han is not a wasteful person, and a piece of material can be used multiple times.

“Before becoming my agent, you should have learned about my previous situation. I didn’t get along very well with my previous agent. So I hope you can avoid her mistakes.”

This is her minimum standard, Xiao Han said seriously.

Bu Yu took the report of at least a dozen pages and raised her eyebrows. It seemed that Su Man really hated her former agent. She wrote down hundreds of points and compiled a report.

But this means that if she does something wrong, she may also be treated the same way. Bu Yu’s heart immediately shuddered. A week ago, Mr. Shen informed her that the artists in her hands would be transferred to other agents, and she would be responsible for the company’s new signing, but she didn’t expect that it would be the most popular star recently, Su Man.

When they met for the first time, Su Man did not give a warning, but rather set rules between the artist and the agent, being strong but not overbearing.

Bu Yu put away the report and said seriously, “From today on, I will be your new agent, and I will only be responsible for you.”

She also introduced some specific matters, which were quite rigorous and detailed.

“The company will provide you with a new apartment, a nanny car, and an assistant in the next two days. The company will also announce the signing soon. As your agent, my job now is to take over your Weibo and your fan club. Of course, I will respect your personal wishes…”

“You handle it.” Xiao Han was very straightforward. With a slight gesture, her assistant Xiao Xia beside her immediately told her agent Bu Yu the password of her Weibo account.

While taking note, Bu Yu also glanced at the young assistant Xiao Xia. She also knew that Su Man had terminated her contract with Jiangjing Entertainment and took a young assistant with her.

But she didn’t expect that Su Man could just give her her Weibo account and contact information.

This means that once you trust someone, you can entrust them completely.

Agent Bu Yu suddenly regained her fighting spirit. She believed that if a little assistant could do it, she, a gold medal agent, would be able to do it.

Xiao Han stayed in the new apartment arranged for her by the company for several days. Her agent Bu Yu reminded her not to go out casually. Thanks to the play “Empty Star”, she is now very famous in the entertainment industry.

Xiao Han can stay at home well. She either watches domestic and foreign movies or reads through the scripts that Bu Yu brought her. She will probably choose her next play from among them.

Xiao Han was taking it easy, but her agent Bu Yu was exhausted these days. She finally took care of everything, including the fan club. As a qualified agent, even if she didn’t get involved in the fan club, she still had to have the necessary communication.

What amazed Bu Yu was that Su Man’s fans were rare to be able to build a large-scale fan club so quickly, and most of them were Ji Yanhuai’s fans before.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is ‘blood-sucking’.

But Su Man has attracted fans with her own ability and attracted fans to switch sides, and no one can mock her.

Bu Yu also had some understanding of these things, and in her opinion, most of the online criticism of Su Man in the past was because of Ji Yanhuai. Now that the relationship has been severed and she has made a comeback with her own strength, her image and popularity among the public have naturally improved.

With one of the best looks in the entertainment industry and brilliant acting skills, Bu Yu is very optimistic about Su Man’s star path. As long as she plans well and takes steady steps, it will be no problem for her to reach the top.

Bu Yu said that she would not interfere in the emotional life of artists, but she would still find out about it. In case Su Man is still in contact with Ji Yanhuai, or there is a possibility of getting back together in the future, at least she can be mentally prepared and make a plan.

So she asked about the celebration party held by the crew of “Empty Star” in a tactful way, “I have asked the person in charge of the organizer, as the male and female protagonists, your seats will be arranged together, and there may be interactive activities.”

Xiao Han said bluntly, “Can I not go?”

Bu Yu twitched her lips and said frankly, “After all, you are the leading actor. If you are absent, the director might be unhappy.”

As a star, many social activities are unavoidable. Otherwise, so many people would have to walk the red carpet in thin dresses in the cold winter with temperatures of minus ten degrees Celsius, and they would also have to manage their expressions and smile to cooperate with reporters in taking pictures.

Xiao Han: “So as long as we agree with the director, there should be no problem.”

Bu Yu: “…” The artist seems to be a little willful.

Before she could even think about coaxing her own artist and persuading her not to let personal feelings affect her career, Xiao Han had already called Director Zhang and they seemed to be having a very pleasant chat.

Bu Yu could vaguely hear the last few words, “…I have an old friend who is planning to make a movie. Do you want to give it a try? It’s Qin Chuan. Have you seen the film “Chu Ge” he directed? Someone like you is suitable for making movies. Unless you make a TV series directed by me, it would be a waste.”

The more Bu Yu listened, the more confused she became. She knew that her artist had a good relationship with the director of “Empty Star”, and the director and screenwriter had even taken the initiative to stand up for her when she was at the center of controversy before. But she didn’t expect the relationship to be so good, with them blatantly giving her resources and introducing her to other people. She even suspected that Su Man was Director Zhang’s biological daughter.

After talking for just a few minutes, Xiao Han hung up the phone and looked at her agent again, saying seriously, “Director Zhang said he doesn’t mind.”

Bu Yu had not yet recovered from the shock in her heart and nodded subconsciously.

Xiao Han added, “If possible, try to avoid contact with Ji Yanhuai.”

The meaning of the agent’s euphemistic question was quite obvious, and there was nothing wrong with saying it. Besides, the agent was responsible for most of her external work, so Xiao Han told the agent clearly that Ji Yanhuai was on the blacklist.

As for why Director Zhang was so kind and friendly to her, it might be because of the acting talent she inherited from the past and the aura that made her loved by directors and judges.

Bu Yu quickly regained her professionalism as an agent and instantly understood what her artist meant, that is, she didn’t want to be involved with Ji Yanhuai. In this case, it would be best if they didn’t have any interactions for at least the next two years, so as to avoid all kinds of speculation from the media and netizens. Once the coldness subsided or they each had a new relationship, it would be fine.

“…Su Man won’t attend the celebration party?”

When he first heard the news, Ji Yanhuai was stunned for a moment. He said that he had never met Su Man again since the crew finished filming. The only time he wanted her to come to Tianhuang, he called her assistant, but was rejected and later blocked.

Now she doesn’t even attend the crew’s celebration party. Is she avoiding him so much?

Ji Yanhuai couldn’t help but feel annoyed. At this moment, his phone vibrated. On the flashing screen was a new message, “Teacher Ji, will you go to the celebration party for “Empty Star”? (Smiley face)”

The return rate of the drama “Empty Star” made the TV station investors smile from ear to ear. A celebration party was held in a very grand manner, even not inferior to ordinary ceremonies, and the actors were indeed star-studded.

But when Pei Yiren walked into the inner field with Ji Yanhuai, many people’s eyes were still focused on them.

Before arriving, the guest stars more or less knew that Su Man, the famous heroine of “Empty Star”, would unfortunately be absent. Maybe she was an alternative female companion.

Some people even whispered to each other about who the beautiful lady next to Ji Yanhuai was.

It’s true that the drama is very popular, but Pei Yiren really has no sense of existence. Who made such a heaven-defying character like Su Man appear? Even the protagonist Ji Yanhuai is overshadowed by her and reduced to a foil, not to mention Pei Yiren, the second female lead.

So even after the show has been on the air for so long and has become popular to everyone, Pei Yiren still has not made any splash. When passers-by and netizens mentioned this name, they vaguely remembered that she seemed to be a female police officer in the show.

So Pei Yiren’s life was really unhappy these days.

Su Man’s popularity remains high, her acting skills and appearance are praised to the sky, and she has tens of millions of fans on Weibo. Ji Yanhuai doesn’t care because he didn’t lose much, he is still the best actor.

But Pei Yiren is so miserable that there is not even a single discussion about her. Her fame remains at the level of a new actor, and she cannot get any good resources.

Her fame did not grow, and her star development system could not help her improve her acting skills and appearance. Pei Yiren would try every means to hook up with Ji Yanhuai again, whether it was fame or favorability, she wanted it all.

Speaking of favorability, Ji Yanhuai’s favorability towards her still remains at 45. Although the annoying agent in the crew has left, it seems that Ji Yanhuai has been busy filming and studying the script, and Pei Yiren has not been able to raise his favorability. At most, she continues to maintain a certain contact after the filming.

However, Ji Yanhuai allowed her to be his female companion and even arranged seats together for them, which meant that Ji Yanhuai’s favorability towards her was at least higher than that towards others. Pei Yiren thought with certainty in her heart, and became more confident in continuing to pursue Ji Yanhuai.

Pei Yiren really enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention standing next to Ji Yanhuai.

She got such a big golden finger of the star development system because she came here to enjoy the wonderful life of a top star, instead of being depressed and having to polish and upgrade in one play after another.
