The company they signed with happens to be one of the partners.
"Alright, Iâll relay this to the director. Should I tell them you helped, or keep it a secret?"
"Of course tell them. I donât do things that arenât reciprocated. But remind them, Iâm only giving them an opportunity, I wonât be their patron or backer."
I wonât be their backer, but they can pretend Su Xiaocai is. Isnât that how the entertainment industry works? Real or fake, once youâre at the top, who cares who you once leaned on.
Yu Haoming: "I understand what you mean."
During the film preparation period, Feiâer and Luo Min received interview notifications from their agent. They were surprised, as such a big production would generally only do open auditions and wouldnât specifically notify them for interviews.
Coincidentally, they had just terminated their contracts, signed with the same company, and by chance even had the same agent.
The agent asked if they had recently met any patrons. If so, they should confess honestly and not hide it so the agency can handle public relations. It doesnât matter if a star is dating, but if the company plans to promote them, they canât have character issues.
Like being a third party, attending unethical gatherings, or having dirt that someone could use to blackmail them.
"This time itâs an Extraordinary Island investment, and they said no one with a moral defect is allowed to participate."
Both were puzzled, and suddenly they thought of one person.
"Oh my god, is it the opportunity from President Su?"
"Is it her? With Extraordinary Island Company involved in the movie, it must be."
The agent was puzzled: "Which President Su are you talking about?"
"We know President Su from Extraordinary Island..." Feiâer blurted out.
Luo Min stopped her, "We have some connections with the small boss, President Su of Extraordinary Island. We added each other on social media at an event, but thatâs all."
The agent wasnât suspicious, "For just a small connection to get you two appealing extra roles, youâre really lucky. Make sure to study the script well. Youâve been given a chance, grab it. The interview is just a formality, but audience reaction will be your real test."
"Alright, thank you, Agent."
After the agent left, Luo Min glared at Feiâer, "From now on, talk less. We canât brag about having connections with Su Xiaocai. Do you know how we got to know her?"
"Gossip." Feiâer covered her mouth; that gossip could ruin someone.
Luo Min: "Got it? No one can know the process of how we met. Just let people believe we added President Su on social media at an event."
Feiâer nodded rigorously, "So when we join the group, should we tell President Su the gossip we know?"
Luo Min: "Of course. Why not? Sharing some gossip can get us resources and strengthen connections. We just donât tell anyone how we met President Su. And mention her name sparingly; letâs play it low-key."
The two little stars decided to cling to Su Xiaocaiâs big leg. As long as they carried the tag of being introduced by President Su, theyâd have something to rely on.
Gratefully, the stars received generous gifts, and decided to share some big gossip with Su Xiaocai that night.
Su Xiaocai was amazed, repeatedly exclaiming. The entertainment industry sure had its oddities. However, it wasnât something to treat lightly before bedtimeâthe more she heard, the more alert she became.
While Su Xiaocai was feasting on the assorted gossip of the entertainment circle.
Senior Sister Fuâs team and another team led by Senior Brother Qi from senior year participated in an evening competition training.
They drew lots to see who would go first, with the other team observing.
Su Xiaocaiâs personal practice field was lent to them for use.
The facility had more comprehensive training equipment, though it required the use of specialized simulation pods, which Senior Sister Fu thought were just for show, "You guys really have a sense of ceremony."
"Hehe." Wu Qingqing chuckled dryly. What seemed like decorations to Senior Sister Fu were actually sweat machines for them.
Senior Sister Fu and Senior Brother Qi drew lots, and Senior Sister Fu had better luck and won.
Senior Brother Qi was disappointed, only able to watch them from behind an invisible wall.
To gauge true power differences, they needed to go all out.
The Vegetable Farmers group was entirely present for the first time, using the highest rank seven-member team to compete against Senior Sister Fuâs team.
Clearly, the Vegetable Farmers had underestimated their own strength.
In less than five minutes on stage, the Huakai Fugui team was completely defeated.
The team name echoed from the AI referee, and Senior Sister Fu was inexplicably frustrated, "We represent flowers, and you are vegetable farmersâof course you counter me. One more time, I wonât be so careless again."
Seeing that only a little time had passed, Xing Miao agreed to another round.
