Ling Xiaosu did not believe that Guo Qi would leave just like that. She had clearly promised to give her double the compensation yesterday afternoon, yet today she called Ouyang Ke and told him that she did not want to continue acting.
"I think it would be the same answer even if you called me. Sigh, I'd rather not do it. What's the point of asking?" Ouyang Ke said that, but still obediently gave Ling Xiaosu's number.
Ling Xiaosu frowned and called him, on the phone, Guo Qi's manager said to Ling Xiaosu: "We, Guo Qi have recently received a new advertisement, and I am afraid we do not have time to continue with Director Ling's following Scenes, so we are unilaterally cancelling out with Director Ling, and we, Guo Qi, will not be bidding for the following Scenes."
Ling Xiaosu frowned, "I already promised to pay you double yesterday, if it's a problem with the Scenes and the script, we can discuss it here, you guys …"
"To tell you the truth, Director Ling." Guo Qi's manager laughed on the phone, and said: We do not plan to continue filming your scenes, it will save on how much the compensation will be, and it will be released here. However, we will definitely not continue filming the scenes, if there is nothing else, we, Guo Qi, will still need to advertise, and we will not have the time to receive your call.
After saying that, Guo Qi's manager impatiently hung up the phone. Ling Xiaosu heard the busy signal from inside and frowned.
"This sort of thing happens quite often. Sometimes, an artiste would get rid of a script they were unsatisfied with, or rather, they would stop filming when they were halfway through. This sort of thing often happens in this circle." Ouyang Ke said in Ling Xiaosu's favor.
Some of the artists were proud and proud, they felt that the reward for the script was not in line with their own worth, so they would often reject the script, or at least shoot it without taking any pictures. This kind of thing would often happen, Ouyang Ke had seen it often.
But it was Ling Xiaosu's first time seeing it.
"Guo Qi is actually not playing anymore. First, go take someone else's Scenes and then find someone to replace Guo Qi as soon as possible." Ouyang Ke patted Ling Xiaosu's shoulder and comforted him.
Ling Xiaosu's brows could not be relaxed for a long time.
's manager hung up the call, turned and looked at Guo Qi who was on the sofa, and said: "Sister Qi, I have already completely rejected Ling Xiaosu, it seems that Ling Xiaosu will not keep calling me anymore."
Guo Qi gave a satisfied grunt, then looked towards Chu Xiaoran who was sitting opposite to him on the sofa and asked: "Since you wanted me to reject Ling Xiaosu, I will reject you as well. Speak, what exactly do you want to find me for?"
Chu Xiaoran chuckled, he took out a stack of photos and a piece of white paper from his bag and handed it over to Guo Qi, "This is a contract, look at it."
Guo Qi looked at Chu Xiaoran in doubt, then reached out and picked up the white paper contract on the table and started to read it.
A few days ago, Chu Xiao Ran suddenly contacted her, saying that she had in her hands the photo of Hu Yinxue accompanying her investors to bed. Guo Qi's heart went cold, that photo was of her making her debut 8 years ago, how could Chu Xiaoran have that picture?
To be able to achieve his current position, Guo Qi had spent eight years of hard work behind his back. In order to maintain her unfailing popularity, Guo Qi had spent too much time to conceal her past, just so that she could display to others that she was still the brilliant and hardworking Guo Qi. For this reason, she had almost given up on the herself that she had been working hard for all those years.
So when Guo Qi heard that he had a photo in his hands of her eating and bed with the investors when she first started out, Guo Qi was very anxious. She spent eight years to reach her current position, and also spent another six months to hide her ugly self from others.
Therefore, she definitely could not let the photo in Chu Xiaoran's hands leak out!
Guo Qi looked at the contract carefully, and raised his head to look at Chu Xiaoran with furrowed brows, and asked: "What do you mean? You want me to act as your female lead? "
The contract stated that Chu Xiaoran would pay Guo Qi double the amount he paid her, and the only condition was for her nationality to play the role of the female lead.
"Yes, that's right." Chu Xiaoran smiled sweetly and looked at Guo Qi. The emotions in her eyes made Guo Qi unable to understand what she meant.
Chu Xiaoran said: "You are an actor, you should understand what I mean very clearly. The contract states that I have recently become a director and officially stepped into this circle, I need a piece of work to promote my reputation and I need a main character to influence my work even more, do you understand?"
Chu Xiaoran wanted to be a director? Guo Qi raised his eyebrows and slightly raised his chin, his eyes clearly showing that he did not believe Chu Xiaoran, "If you want to enter this circle, and become a director, you can definitely find some other more famous artist to act out your work, why are you looking for me? Compared to those famous artists, I don't think I'm qualified. "
She, Guo Qi, definitely would not believe that Chu Xiaoran's goal was that simple. She only wanted to find her to act out Chu Xiaoran's work and threaten her with what she had done back then.
The smile on his face did not seem to be simple, "No matter how famous an artist is, as long as I, Chu Xiaoran, do not fancy them, I will not look for them."
"So you fell for me?" Guo Qi suddenly wasn't that afraid anymore. Right now, Chu Xiaoran just wanted to cooperate with her because she, Guo Qi, was the one who had truly made the decision.
Guo Qi scoffed, and said haughtily: "It's such a pity, if the person I am working with did not reveal his real purpose, I would never agree to cooperate no matter what, even if you have evidence in your hands that would threaten me directly."
Chu Xiaoran sneered, Guo Qi was indeed Guo Qi, this arrogant attitude was truly annoying.
"My goal is very simple, I want to snatch you from Ling Xiaosu's hands! Whatever role you play in her script, you have to play in mine. I want to compare myself with Ling Xiaosu and see how I, Chu Xiaoran, am worse than her! " When Ling Xiaosu was mentioned, his eyes revealed undisguised jealousy and hatred.
Guo Qi was confused and asked: "Do you have enmity with Ling Xiaosu?"
Chu Xiaoran let out a cold snort in disdain, "The grudge between her and I is irreconcilable. Whatever she Ling Xiaosu does, I, Chu Xiao Ran, am going to follow. I want to prove to the entire world that I, Chu Xiaoran, am not one bit inferior to her, Ling Xiaosu." The jealousy in Chu Xiaoran's eyes was obvious, it was hard for Guo Qi to ignore it.
Guo Qi thought about it, the grudge between Ling Xiaosu and herself was a grudge between the two of them, it had nothing to do with her, furthermore, Chu Xiaoran had given her a higher salary than the double compensation that he gave her, even if she took Chu Xiao, it was not good, it was as if she was the one who had lost.
Guo Qi thought it through and immediately responded, "Alright, I will accept your show."
Chu Xiaoran laughed in satisfaction, she was very satisfied with Guo Qi's actions and clear understanding of his own position.
