Chapter 295: Chapter 295: The Top Actor’s Tough Confrontation

Haicheng.

Bo Yan had finished the first phase of the shooting and returned to the hotel to rest. It was already eleven o’clock at night. After retrieving his phone from Xie Cheng, he immediately checked for any messages from Yuran, but to his disappointment, there were none.

He was not very happy about it. Even though the girl had told him that there might not be a chance to chat, he always felt that she could squeeze a little bit of time to send him a message.

But it had been so long, and not a single message from his ’baby’.

Therefore, he couldn’t be too far from her, as she was too forgetful. If he was a little distant, she would forget about him.

Xie Cheng, holding a stack of documents, came in from outside and walked over to him, "The other spokesperson for the OL campaign will arrive in Haicheng tomorrow, a foreign actor. You..."

Bo Yan frowned, "Show me the contract."

Xie Cheng handed it over, "It was added at the last minute. Our initial contract stated that you would shoot alone, not with someone else. Just now, the chief designer of OL called me, hoping you would grant them this favor."

"Who is the other person?"

"Jiang Yan, the daughter of one of the OL partners, made her debut in M country, a well-known supermodel."

Xie Cheng was especially annoyed by such maneuvers. The agreement was clear from the beginning, and then, out of nowhere, they try to insert someone into the mix. Naturally, his inclination was to refuse.

Of course, such matters were what Bo Yan disliked the most. The purpose of his coming was to ensure Bo Yan’s firm refusal, so that Xie Cheng could handle matters accordingly.

To prevent people from OL from thinking he was making obstacles.

Upon hearing this, Bo Yan was not at all pleased. It wasn’t that he was uncooperative, but the initial contract was clearly spelled out in black and white. He rarely did advertisements, with only a few endorsements he had signed when he first started, all with ten-year terms.

He had no choice, and the terms and conditions were outlined very clearly. He rarely did joint advertisement shoot campaigns, few with men, and almost none with women.

Now OL suddenly wanted him to shoot a pair of couple rings commercial with a woman, without consulting his opinion?

Obviously not.

He threw the contract on the table, "Go negotiate now. If OL’s way of doing things is to act first and report later, then they need not work with me in the future. Moreover, I don’t have the habit of shooting ads with newcomers."

The refusal was clear without being put into words.

Xie Cheng raised an eyebrow with relief. He wanted Bo Yan’s refusal, and he rose to call the person in charge at OL. Xie Cheng quarreled with whoever was on the other end of the phone.

He was not the least bit courteous. Xie Cheng swore without reserve, for he had no need to please anyone.

So, facing OL’s assertiveness, he said dismissively and coldly, "If your company does not show a cooperative attitude and sincerity, then this collaboration is hereby void. Regarding compensation and other details, the Diyang team will negotiate with you.

The details of the advertisement shoot were agreed upon from the start. It is you who are reneging at the last minute. OL always left a good impression, which is why my artist did not refuse the cooperation."

Although Xie Cheng knew the reasons, now, those were trivial.

"Therefore, this sort of malicious bundling by OL is very aggravating to us. Since your company is unwilling to compromise, then sorry, we will not budge either. The collaboration with OL for the advertisement is now over."

There will be no chance for future cooperation.

It was Bo Yan’s principle.

Besides, Bo Yan didn’t lack advertisement shoots; it was that he was not keen on doing them.

Could it be that OL thought Bo Yan had been refusing brand shoots all along, but he just happened to accept theirs, making them assume that Bo Yan favored them?

Naive.

After hanging up the phone, Bo Yan got up from the sofa and returned to his room to pack his luggage, "Back to Diyang."

"I’ll book the tickets right now."

...

However, the upper echelons of OL were thrown into a panic. When they had invited Bo Yan to shoot promotional videos and advertisements for the OL brand, they were banking on Bo Yan’s influence, otherwise why spend so much money?

Furthermore, Bo Yan rarely accepted advertisement offers, yet he took on so many ads, including the not-so-prominent luxury brand OL. They couldn’t help but speculate, thinking that Bo Yan must like OL’s implications and design concepts, which is why he agreed.

Later, they tried to test the limits of Bo Yan, the great movie star.

As a result, this test brought trouble.

Bo Yan didn’t accept OL’s advertisements for any fondness of the brand. Although the reason wasn’t clear, they were certain that Bo Yan’s acceptance of OL’s advertisement had nothing to do with their speculation.

After Bo Yan righteously refused, OL started to panic on their own. The promotion was already sent out, and Bo Yan had also responded to OL’s marketing. They knew very well that soon, Bo Yan was going to personally announce his refusal to shoot.

The reason was simple, that’s just how Bo Yan always was.

Once the reason for Bo Yan’s refusal to shoot for OL was dug up, the one to bear the consequences would certainly not be Bo Yan, but OL, as OL was the one that had acted unethically in the first place.

Moreover, during the contract amendment, they did not seek the opinion of the overall person in charge of OL.

With Bo Yan pulling out, they were the ones at fault, so when the news reached the ears of OL’s overall person in charge, everyone responsible for the contract amendment was punished and demoted.

The overall person in charge didn’t have time to clean up their mess but instead personally called Bo Yan to apologize, hoping he wouldn’t give up on his initial intention to collaborate with OL because of these fools.

Speaking of which, the call from OL’s overall person in charge was quite timely. Had it been slightly later, his official Weibo was about to go out.

Bo Yan was not one to beat around the bush, "Chairman Liao, I, Bo Yan, have rules that the whole circle understands. I don’t rely on anyone else’s popularity, and I expect others not to drag me into official partnerships."

"One of OL’s founders wants to promote his daughter, and that’s his business, not mine." The ones I want to promote don’t even flatter me to do so, who do others think they are?

The person known as Chairman Liao on the phone was subservient and hasty in explaining the whole affair, and after listening, Bo Yan felt somewhat relieved, "Seeing as it’s Chairman Liao’s behalf, I’ll let it go this time."

"Yes, yes, thank you for understanding."

After Bo Yan hung up the phone, he also deleted the official Weibo post he was editing. OL is the most low-key of luxury brands and a favorite among young people. His choice to endorse was merely to find a legitimate excuse for being married.

And a not-so-ostentatious excuse at that.

But it wasn’t to say that being ostentatious wasn’t okay. Now that OL had personally apologized, and since he wasn’t unreasonable, provided the logic made sense and the reasons were sufficient, he would continue working, killing two birds with one stone.

Xie Cheng raised an eyebrow at him and passed over the tablet, "Here, this is Jiang Yan, the only child of one of the founders, Jiang Jian, half-blood, and in the idol column, there’s only your name."

Bo Yan didn’t even look sideways, his gaze heavy as he looked at Xie Cheng, "And?"

Seeing that he didn’t take it, Xie Cheng took back the tablet, "So I think this is the self-recommendation of this supermodel, to get closer to her idol.

Pretty, talented, and with a good figure, you’re not tempted?"
