283: Chapter 283: Panicked!

The Superstar Seeks a Meeting!

Stay calm!

You must stay calm!

Bi instantly understood what Wu Jie was saying, and although she felt dissatisfied, she still had to restrain herself.

There she was, forcing out an embarrassed yet polite smile.

“Mr.

Wu is joking, Fengling’s schedule is packed.

There is no availability until the end of the year.”

Bi tactfully declined the cooperation proposal.

Besides, the request Wu Jie made, what kind of cooperation was that?

Did he think she was a three-year-old who didn’t understand?

However…

Wu Jie sighed and said with a smile, “A-list stars really do have high demand, not worrying about film offers at all!”

Bi replied with a slight smile, “It’s all thanks to the industry’s support, letting us talent agents make a living.”

“Is that so?

But I’ve heard that the movie you’ve recently agreed to film has encountered problems with the production company!”

“Are you referring to Mr.

Wang’s Tianyuan Datang Media Wang Taixiong?” Bi frowned slightly.

Wu Jie laughed, “That’s right!

Their cash flow is nearly drying up, don’t you know?”

“Ah?

I…”

Bi was extremely surprised, pausing for two seconds before saying:

“We only just returned from Tianyuan last night, everything on set was normal!”

“And I heard that Mr.

Wang recently spent over six billion to buy 80% of the shares!”

“The company is separating from your group, it has completed the name change and share restructuring, and is even preparing for an IPO.

How could there be a cash flow problem?”

As soon as she finished speaking, the elevator reached the tenth floor.

“Maybe the acquisition has exhausted their funds, and they’ve encountered difficulties with financing!”

Wu Jie chuckled, stepped out of the elevator and suddenly turned his head with a sly smile towards the stunned Bi:

“But the cooperation I’m talking about is money!”

Money!!

Bi’s eyes widened in shock and after a few seconds, she suddenly realized her misunderstanding.

But just as she thought about calling out to Wu Jie, the elevator had already moved to the fourteenth floor.

With her hands full of lunch boxes, she couldn’t press the elevator button, and she anxiously stamped her foot.

Two hundred million!

Whether it was for making movies or TV series, it was bound to be a big production.

And with such a huge budget and a May filming schedule, it was very likely for the Chinese New Year film season!

High acting fees, box office revenue sharing…

Bi felt she had truly been foolish to misunderstand Wu Jie as wanting something from Bai Fengling.

Upon reaching the twentieth floor, Bi hurried to the administrative suite and handed over the takeout to Mei, then immediately rushed down to the tenth floor.

As an agent, the more her artists earned, the more commission she received.

Of course, Bi wanted Bai Fengling to take on more high-profile, big-budget productions.

Once she got to the tenth floor, all the doors were shut tight.

Surely she couldn’t just knock on each one and ask?

Taking out her phone, Bi immediately tried to contact Huang Siwei, hoping to get Wu Jie’s cell phone number.

Before the call connected, the door of room 1008 opened.

Wu Jie came out after putting away his luggage, but what perplexed Bi was why he would tie a fanny pack around his waist.

He looked like a foreman.

But what did that matter?

Rich people all have their little quirks, right?

Bi immediately hung up the phone and warmly greeted him.

“Mr.

Wu, I apologize, I really overthought earlier.

About the cooperation you mentioned before…”

Wu Jie interrupted, “Didn’t you say Bai Fengling is very busy?

Her schedule is booked until the end of the year!”

“Uh…

no problem, many artists are able to work on multiple projects!”

Bi said with a smile, “Moreover, Fengling has previously managed to shuttle between three different productions in a single month, completing each one exceptionally well without causing any inconvenience to the crews!”

Wu Jie nodded slightly and handed a business card to Bi: “Alright then, we’ll set up a time to talk later.

I need to head downstairs now!”

“Sure thing!

Take care, Sir!”

Bi’s face beamed with a smile as she saw Wu Jie into the elevator, nodding and bowing as she waved goodbye.

After waiting for a while, Bi pressed the elevator’s up button.

Her phone rang, Huang Siwei was returning her call.

“Bi, what’s up?”

“Nothing much, just wanted to confirm if our movie will start filming as scheduled?”

“There shouldn’t be any problem!”

Huang Siwei’s tone was enough to send shivers down anyone’s spine.

Bi was getting anxious.

“Mr.

Huang, just tell me the truth, please.

I heard your company’s funds are almost running out.

Can this movie still be completed and released normally or not?”

Huang Siwei shouted angrily, “Which son of a bitch is spreading rumors?”

“It was Director Wu whom we dined with together!” Bi replied truthfully.

“Ah?

This…

We’re just temporarily in trouble.

Mr.

Wang has already launched the second round of financing, and we’ll soon have a substantial amount of funds injected.

Not to mention making one movie, even ten would be no problem…”

Listening to Huang Siwei’s evasive answers, Bi’s heart was chilled to the core.

She wasn’t new to the entertainment industry.

Making a movie is like building a house.

Before starting, they claim to have huge investments, bragging loudly.

But not long after starting amidst great fanfare, numerous projects get halted mid-way due to funding issues or other reasons, ending in abandonment.

So, there are unfinished buildings, and there are eunuch films!

And judging from this situation, Bi felt that this cooperation was truly doomed.

“Since there’s no problem with funds, then let’s continue to follow the contract and proceed, shall we?”

After hanging up the phone, Bi felt utterly panicked.

Stars are not like ordinary people.

Maintaining a top star and their team comes at a high cost for the agency.

Not just because of the welfare and treatment, but also because it’s necessary to constantly create events to stir up public interest and ensure visibility.

With visibility comes film offers.

With film offers come works, and without works, how can you create hype?

Using romantic scandals and such for hype?

That’s old news!

Thus, a star’s schedule is packed tight, wishing for activity every day, so that both the star and the agency can make money.

If the movie Bai Fengling was about to start filming suddenly got canceled.

It would mean being idle for the next couple of months with no salary, and no compensation from Wang Taixiong either.

To avoid losses, Bi had to find work for Bai Fengling quickly.

At this point, she thought of Wu Jie again.

If she could take on Wu Jie’s two-hundred-million project, wouldn’t everything be settled?

Returning to the upstairs room.

Bi immediately went to persuade Bai Fengling to meet with Wu Jie in person and discuss a collaboration.

Meanwhile, downstairs in the restaurant.

Wu Jie and Tang Xiao were in a competition of sorts, seeing who could eat more.

In the end, of course, Tang Xiao lost.

“I can’t eat anymore!

My stomach is about to burst!”

Tang Xiao wiped her red lips, admitting defeat.

Wu Jie persisted, finishing the remaining dishes and then wiping his mouth to get up.

“Let’s go!

With our bellies full, it’s time to get back to the room and take care of business!”

Tang Xiao was startled and gave Wu Jie a significant look, but said nothing more.

Going up to the room.

Upon entering, Tang Xiao pointed towards the bathroom, “I reek of sweat, I need to shower now!”

“It’s so boring to shower alone, how about we go together?”

“Get out!!”

Tang Xiao gave Wu Jie a disdainful look before lying tiredly on the bed.

“Don’t you dare fall asleep!

I’ll be out in a jiffy!”

Wu Jie immediately took underwear and a razor from his suitcase, dashed into the bathroom, and started showering and brushing his teeth at the same time.

He washed and groomed quickly, dried his hair, and shaved off the stubble.

All set and prepared, but when he returned to the room, he was taken aback.

Tang Xiao had already covered herself with a blanket, sleeping peacefully.

She looked like a sleeping beauty, not to be awakened.

“Sigh!

If this gluttonous and sleepy behavior continues for nearly a month, wouldn’t she get out of shape and turn into a big fat lady?”

As Wu Jie was musing, the doorbell rang.

The phone buzzed, and as soon as he answered, Bi’s voice could be heard.

“Sorry to bother you, Mr.

Wu, Fengling and I are at your door, would it be convenient for us to come in and talk about your project?”
