Chapter 12 Tangyuan is here!
Chapter 12 Tangyuan is here!
"Sweetie, Su Yu, I've brought some men!"
Jing Tian's assistant, Xiao Zhu, poked her head in, then retreated in disbelief, only to push the door open and come back in a few seconds later.
However, by this time, Su Yu and Jing Tian had already returned to their respective positions and were standing obediently in front of Xiao Zhu.
Behind Xiao Zhu was a young woman wearing a khaki fitted blazer and sporting a cool short haircut.
The woman looked to be around twenty-five or twenty-six years old, about three years older than Su Yu, and had a very strong presence.
Holding a folder in my left hand, and...wait, in my right hand?
In her right hand, she was tightly clutching a large pink thermos with a Hello Kitty pattern printed on it.
"Su Yu, this is Tang Yuanyuan, the college classmate I told you about before," Xiao Zhu quickly introduced.
"I briefly introduced you to her. She had just finished what she was doing and immediately took the high-speed train here!"
Tangyuan: What a simple introduction! Calling someone in the middle of the night until the next morning...
Su Yu had received a notification from Xiao Zhu in advance, telling him that Tangyuan was coming today, but he didn't expect her to come here directly.
However, she still politely stepped forward, extended her right hand, and gave a bright smile: "Hello, Sister Yuanyuan, I am Su Yu."
Tangyuan looked Su Yu up and down, but was eventually captivated by the hazy aura emanating from him, and a glint of light flashed in her originally indifferent eyes.
This appearance and temperament are even more exaggerated than Xiao Zhu boasted on the phone!
"Hello!"
Tangyuan reached out and gave him a light handshake, her voice sweet.
"This isn't the place to talk business. Let's go to the coffee shop downstairs."
Jing Tian had already been dragged away and tortured by Xiao Zhu. On the way, she even sent Su Yu a crying emoji.
Su Yu: Don't cry, don't cry! [Kiss][Hug][Lift me up high]
As a result, Jing Tian was caught red-handed by Xiao Zhu again: "Sweetie, this is too ambiguous! Honestly tell me how far things have progressed!"
Ten minutes later, at the hotel coffee shop.
Tangyuan pushed the folder in front of Su Yu, crossed her arms on the table, and struck a pose:
"Su Yu, I've seen all your information. You're a graduate of the Beijing Film Academy, have great looks, and your on-screen presence is outstanding among newcomers. Plus, I heard you know real kung fu."
She paused, her gaze fixed intently on Su Yu: "Sign me, and I'll plan your career path as quickly as possible. Within two years, I'll get you into a second-tier star, and within three years, I'll be playing the lead role in a top-tier project. What do you think?"
Su Yu leaned back on the sofa, flipping through the thick planning document. After a while, he looked up and said:
"Sister Tangyuan, I have no doubt about your abilities. The fact that Xiao Zhu could call you from so far away is the greatest recognition of your abilities."
Su Yu crossed his arms and became somewhat serious. "But Sister Tangyuan, I have only one request, or rather, a very big request~"
"Oh? Just tell me, is it about profit sharing? Or do you need a dedicated assistant team? These are all within reasonable limits, and I can do my best to meet your needs," Tangyuan said methodically.
Su Yu raised an eyebrow. He was still an unknown actor; would he really be able to get whatever he asked for?
"Neither." Su Yu shook his head, leaned forward slightly, and coughed lightly.
"My requirement is: I must have a great deal of freedom in choosing roles. You are responsible for helping me connect with resources, handle business and public relations, but I have my own plans regarding what roles to take and how to proceed."
Upon hearing this, Tangyuan's beautiful eyebrows instantly furrowed together.
This little brother really knows how to say something outrageous!
"Su Yu, do you know what you're saying?" Tangyuan's tone carried a hint of surprise.
"You're a fresh graduate! You have no idea about the current market trends and capital operations. Some shows, even with a terrible script, will have us acting even if the investors are powerful enough and the exposure is high enough."
If we give you all the power to choose roles, what if you impulsively accept a bunch of boring arthouse films or flops? Wouldn't all our investment go down the drain?!
Seeing Tangyuan's protective and impatient demeanor, Su Yu was not angry at all; instead, he smiled gently.
"Sister Tangyuan, you look better when you're angry; it makes you more expressive~"
"you……"
Tangyuan was stunned. All the workplace wisdom she had prepared was instantly choked up by this sudden teasing.
A blush flashed across her fair cheeks.
This guy actually flirted with her to her face?
"Don't try that on me, I won't fall for it!" Tangyuan tried to remain calm as she picked up the thermos on the table, wanting to take a sip of water to hide her inner panic.
As a result, because she twisted it too hard, the thermos lid popped open with a "pop," and the water on the straw happened to splash onto her nose, scalding her so much that she cried out "Ouch!" and her eyes immediately welled up with tears. Her aura of a cool and unapproachable older sister instantly crumbled and shattered into pieces.
Su Yu quickly pulled out a tissue and reached out to gently wipe the water droplets from her nose.
Be careful.
Su Yu moved gently and spoke softly.
"I know this request sounds crazy, but Sister Tangyuan, I've heard about your exploits from Xiao Zhu. Since you've come all this way to meet a newcomer like me, doesn't that prove you're a gambler yourself?"
"Artists and agents are meant to make each other successful. Give me this authority, and I guarantee that every film I take on will be incredibly profitable. If I didn't have this confidence, I wouldn't be sitting here talking to you."
Tangyuan covered her nose, which was inexplicably burning from Su Yu's touch, and looked at Su Yu in front of her. For a moment, her pride in her rationality suddenly wavered.
Damn it, how come he has such a face that makes people want to believe him unconditionally?
However, the clever mind prevailed: "You're certainly confident, but you have to give me a reason!"
Does she really think she can get away with anything just because she's good-looking?
Su Yu chuckled and opened the planning document on the table:
"Sister Tangyuan, your planning document is indeed beautifully done, but turn to page seven and take a look."
Tangyuan was taken aback, but did as she was told to open it.
"Look, this one, this one, and this one."
"See that?" Su Yu's voice was unhurried. "Every character you planned for me, although each has its own highlights, they all have one thing in common: a high proportion of action scenes."
Tangyuan's fingers tightened slightly as she gripped the folder.
"Sister Tangyuan, you've already figured out my core selling points." Su Yu tilted his head, revealing an innocent smile. "You're a graduate of the Beijing Film Academy, good-looking, and know real kung fu, so you've decided to go down this path."
Tangyuan was silent for a few seconds, then asked, "So, what's your opinion?"
"In my opinion, these are just some insignificant little talents I have, merely the tip of the iceberg."
