Chapter 171: Chapter 172 Extreme_1 Chapter 171: Chapter 172 Extreme_1 “You don’t measure up to her?” The agent sneered, “In what way do you not measure up to her? In terms of beauty, acting skills, and connections, Qiao Xiaren, that young girl, knows to proceed step by step, steadily improving her capabilities. She remains cautious and never adopts an arrogant demeanor just because of a little popularity. One only needs to look at the critics’ predictions to understand how much potential such kind of person possesses! Now look at yourself, you merely acted in ‘Dragon Girl’ and you’ve already grown conceited! When Li Li previously invited you to guest star as the Demon Immortal, I advised you to accept the role, but you arrogantly insisted that he must give you Yeqian’s leading female role in his music video. Don’t you know that he’s a drama fanatic? If he feels you don’t fit the image of the female lead in the music video, he would rather break his teeth than use you! See, now Qiao Xiaren has benefited, hasn’t she?”
“All you do is criticize me! ‘Dragon Girl’ only became popular because of me! I won an award because of ‘Dragon Girl’ and even became a popular newcomer! If it wasn’t for my acting skills, Li Li’s drama would have been overshadowed by other dramas aired at the same time-slot at other channels! That old man Li Li, how could he treat me …”
Seeing that Luo Hong was still immersed in such extreme thoughts, the agent shook his head, thinking that there was no help for her.
With newcomers constantly springing up in the entertainment circle, countless popular celebrities were directly knocked out, which shows how intense the competition is. Everyone is striving to climb up, but this Luo Hong, her vision is way too shallow.
No wonder a person who can’t even recognize their current danger does not match up to Qiao Xiaren.
“This is the entertainment circle, the competent ones rule. Don’t believe that just because you starred in ‘Dragon Girl’ with God Chu, you can dominate the entertainment circle, you’re not nearly talented enough yet you’re not humble either. I really can’t see where I could invest in you as an artist,” the agent finally said.
Hearing the agent’s last words, Luo Hong who had been feeling wronged and wasn’t able to accept any persuasion suddenly froze: “What do you mean? What did you mean by those last words?”
The agent said, “According to company regulations, posts on Weibo must be reviewed and approved by a few of us. You have repeatedly broken that rule. I can apply to the company to be the agent of other artists. As for you, someone else will take over.”
“Are you crazy? I made so much money for you and the company, and now you want to abandon me?” Luo Hong yells incredulously.
Apart from SGS company which shares profits equally, Jingyun and other companies in the Capital, take a huge cut from the artist’s earnings, usually a 70/30 split, with 70% going to the company and 30% to the artist.
This kind of system would be the death of an artist. Of ten million earnings, they only get to keep three million, one can imagine the imbalance.
This is why so many artists desperately want to join SGS. SGS indeed has a fairer profit-sharing policy, but the entrance examination is very difficult.
Moreover, there are rumors that SGS doesn’t play by the unwritten rules. Because the boss behind the scenes is a super-handsome guy, and the Si Family members are all stunningly attractive, so even if others wanted to use those unwritten rules, they couldn’t!
Of course, the agent ignores Luo Hong’s hysteria, rubbing his temples: “Who do you think you are? You have a bit of popularity and you start acting up, don’t forget you are nowhere near being the company’s top artist! Every year a bunch of new artists debut, all of them have more potential and are smarter than you. The company hasn’t reached a point where they can’t function without you. You don’t understand how to climb up, there are others who do!”
