"That’s a pity," Austin said, "Bo Yan and Yuran are currently the most suitable people I can think of, but if their schedules can’t align, what do you guys think, do we choose Bo Yan or Yuran?"
Duan Chen also felt the headache, "Bo Yan is a box office guarantee, but Yuran is Aunt Wan!"
As Yuran and Annan walked out of RSM, Zhou Lianjia, who had struck up a conversation earlier, approached them again, smiling at Yuran and tentatively asked, "Yuran, I heard that you haven’t signed with any company?"
Zu Shiting, not too far from the group, overheard Zhou Lianjia’s words and looked over in surprise. If she didn’t have a company, how did she know about this casting call? Could it be true, as Ye Wen had said, that she had a formidable background?
Thinking this, Zu Shiting couldn’t help but take a few more glances at Yuran.
Yuran, not wanting to engage in unnecessary chatter, politely smiled, "I’m still in school, I’d rather not consider company matters for now!"
Zhou Lianjia hadn’t expected Yuran to reject her so outright and was surprised but even more interested, "Yuran, I’m an artist under Hualan Entertainment; have you considered Hualan?"
Annan thought this person was strange. Yuran had said she wasn’t considering any agencies, and yet here she was, still trying to make a sale?
But in such a situation, which she hadn’t experienced before, Annan didn’t know how to help Yuran reply. Yuran continued to smile politely, "Thank you, but there’s no need."
Zhou Lianjia was puzzled. She had revealed her company affiliation, so why wouldn’t Yuran even consider it, and why was there an undertone of rejection in every response? Could it be that Hualan wasn’t attractive enough?
Yuran hadn’t expected the girl to be so persistent and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, "I have a company I want to sign with, so thank you for your kindness."
Zhou Lianjia, "No, no, what kind of offer is that other company giving you? I can do the same, no, no, no, I can double it."
Annan thought this girl’s claims were quite bold.
However, Yuran thought further ahead, daring to speak like that, she must be high up in Hualan, or maybe the chairman’s daughter? If she wasn’t wrong, then she must be the daughter of Hualan.
Seeing that Yuran still wouldn’t budge, Zhou Lianjia upped the ante, "If you’re still not satisfied, we can negotiate. For example, when you make a movie in the future, you could participate in the investment, even share in the profits. How about that?"
The offer was very attractive indeed.
Zu Shiting, listening on the side, was astonished.
Hualan may not be one of the top three giants, but it had a sterling reputation in the industry, never shortchanging or exploiting its artists.
The reputation was good.
Thinking of this, Zu Shiting reflected on her own company and couldn’t help a wry smile.
Yuran looked at Zhou Lianjia with an amused expression and helplessly said, "Miss Zhou, from what position are you offering these terms? Do they carry any weight?"
Zhou Lianjia nodded hastily, "They carry weight, what I say definitely carries weight. Do you agree?"
Yuran shook her head.
Zhou Lianjia’s face fell, "Oh, don’t rush to refuse me. What if you go home tonight, think it over and let me know? How about that? Leave me your phone number, and I’ll contact you later?"
With that, she was ready to reach for her phone, convinced that missing out on a talent like Yuran would be a loss for Hualan.
Yuran quickly stopped her, "No, no, no... Miss Zhou, I’m not considering other companies, I have one I want to sign with."
Zhou Lianjia was relentless, "Then tell me the name of the company you want to sign with, otherwise I won’t be content."
Yuran at a loss for words, "It’s still in the planning stages, you can think of it as a studio."
Zhou Lianjia, "Then you’ll have to run around for resources and various announcements yourself, here everything is ready-made."
