Sister Wen noticed her complexion was off and asked with concern, "What happened?"
"Sister Ning said Feng Qi is next door right now." Lai Yuaner’s eyes reddened with urgency, "He might be here for Tang Li. Sister Ning said that Feng Qi wants to sign Tang Li!"
If Feng Qi could make Liang Jincheng a star back in the day, he could now propel Tang Li to stardom.
Even if she doesn’t become a superstar, Tang Li’s future won’t be bad at all.
Unless that illegitimate daughter really is a hopeless case.
But Ruan Jiang likes Tang Li so much, if Tang Li couldn’t act, he wouldn’t always compare her to Ying Xuaner whom Tang Li played.
Once Tang Li has Feng Qi as her agent, what’s the difference between her acting career and having a cheat code?
How could such a despicable illegitimate daughter thrive so well in the entertainment industry!
At the same time, in the meeting room of the villa next door.
Feng Qi saw that Tang Li was just sitting quietly, so he took the initiative to break the silence: "Just now that scene, Director Fan said you guys took almost ten shots but still didn’t pass, the last take I saw, there were no major issues with your acting."
"I know." Tang Li responded.
Feng Qi didn’t expect her to be so unassuming. He then became interested and asked her, "Director Fan told me you haven’t even taken professional classes yet, and you already have so much confidence in your acting?"
"I just don’t want to lie in front of you."
"How so?" Feng Qi was curious.
Tang Li answered truthfully: "We just started shooting today, Teacher Yang pointed out my shortcomings and I reflected on them seriously, but after numerous takes and considering Teacher Guan’s opinions too, I realized the reason for the repeated NGs was not on me. You are not the senior actor in the scene with me, and you already pointed out that there was no problem with my acting, if I continue to act humble in front of you, you would only think I’m being insincere."
Looking at her confident demeanor, Feng Qi then asked, "Since you knew Yang Ning was deliberately making it difficult for you, and you endured it for so many scenes, why didn’t you tell the director?"
"I am a newcomer, it’s proper for seniors to give me guidance."
Tang Li thought for a moment, then continued, "Every newcomer goes through this step by step, everything doesn’t have to go perfectly just because it’s me."
Feng Qi smiled slightly, "Many newcomers start off like thorns, especially those who bring capital into the team, if everyone was like you, the crew would probably save a lot of effort."
After finishing his piece, Feng Qi ended the topic and straightforwardly said, "I am here today because I want to sign you. I have seen the video of your audition for the role of Ying Xuaner in the film version, just like Director Fan’s evaluation, it’s rare among newcomers.
"If you agree, we can discuss the contract right now. If it’s fast, you will officially become an artist under IMG Media the day after tomorrow, and for the next five years, I will be your exclusive agent."
Tang Li met Feng Qi’s gaze, not avoiding it nervously, but rather said, "I want to know the reason you chose me."
Feng Qi didn’t expect Tang Li to ask that.
Usual artists, whether they are just starting out or are already famous, would be rejoicing by now.
It’s rare for someone to remain this calm when such a good opportunity falls into their lap.
Tang Li said, "I’ve never considered myself a once-in-a-century acting genius. There are more newcomers with better acting skills than me in this industry. Director Fan told me that you came to this crew for me, but I don’t think I have that kind of charm."
In Feng Qi’s ears, it sounded like she was saying, you need to convince me to let you be my agent.
Subtly, the initiative in their conversation had shifted into her hands.
