"It’s no use going to the company." Lu Jiayuan, after his initial surprise, had now calmed down. "Even Abraham didn’t speak up for me. Clearly, this situation has blown up. Even if we go, it’ll just be a humiliation for us."
"So you’re just going to let it go ?" Vincent was almost incredulous, "Jason, do you know how much effort you’ve put in to get to where you are now? Are you just going to give up so easily? Let the company freeze you without any explanation?"
"Then what can we do? Do you have a higher rank than Abraham? Can you directly converse with the higher-ups?" How could Lu Jiayuan not be anxious? But now, is it really a matter of being anxious? He originally thought that after three years of hard work, he had become a moderately successful celebrity, and his career was going smoothly. He usually kept a low profile and avoided conflicts with others, but he didn’t expect to be tossed around so badly!
No way! Either he works even harder, keeps climbing up, or he’ll be stepped on for life and never make it!
He has to come up with a solution, he must think of a way!
Just as he was thinking, he saw Yu Zexiao and Jian Anning get out of the car, followed by a large group of bodyguards and assistants.
Thinking about Yu Zexiao’s status, his income, his achievements — not to mention, just his acting fee alone accounted for half of the entire show’s budget!
This was after the producers begged him, and Yin Maohui used keeping Jian Anning by his side as a bargaining chip to reluctantly make him nod in agreement. Of course, Yu Zexiao’s fame and his pulling power were worth that price. But, no matter what, his income was something everyone looked up to.
Even though Lu Jiayuan had gotten the second male lead, his income was only about a tenth of that, and after the company’s and manager’s cut, what he actually got was even less.
The United States may be economically advanced, but there, Asians are still in the minority! The mainstream media still prefers white skin and blue eyes. No matter how hard he worked, no matter how outstanding he was in Hollywood, it wouldn’t change their impression.
On the contrary, these years, Huaxia Country has truly been flourishing. Although many overseas artists have returned home in recent years, most are singers or previously unknown small artists. There are very few like him, who became popular because of an American show and then decided to abandon their career there and develop in Huaxia.
Moreover, the treatment for actors here in Huaxia Country is much better compared to the United States!
He has acting skills, strength, and can endure hardships. As long as he’s given a chance, he might be able to rise even higher!
Thinking of this, he suddenly said to Vincent, "I remember a few days ago, the president of Starlight Entertainment seemed interested in contacting me, right?"
Vincent said naturally, "Yes, but he mentioned shooting a TV series. We wanted to shoot ’Eternal Heart’, so of course, we turned it down... Are you saying?"
He suddenly realized, glancing at Lu Jiayuan. At this moment, a determined light flashed in his eyes: "I think, getting to know more people opens up more opportunities, don’t you think?"
