Chapter 76 New movie, female lead, is there a release date?

On November 11, "All or Nothing", which had been released for 7 days, officially closed with a box office of 37 billion yuan.

-

When Yan Gou'er walked on the campus, there were many whispers around him, mixed with envy, jealousy and hatred.

"I didn't expect her movie to make 25 billion at the box office. She's so lucky!"

"Whether you become famous or not really depends on your luck. Sometimes, it's better to just act casually and become famous than to go through all kinds of efforts to get a role."

"I heard that many agencies are trying to win her over recently?"

"Yes, I heard about it too. I heard that she was promised the second female lead in a movie and a guest on a variety show, but she refused."

"Why didn't you agree?"

"I don't know. Anyway, she has refused. There are fewer people looking for her recently. Haven't you seen that most of the seniors in their class are out looking for roles? Even if there are no roles, they spend all day in the film and television city looking for opportunities. She is the only one who is still in school. I don't understand."

"I heard that she didn't want to sign."

"Ah, why? For someone like her who unexpectedly became famous, she should take advantage of her current popularity to get more exposure and stabilize her fan base! The competition in the entertainment industry is so fierce. By the time her popularity dies down, the public will have long forgotten who she is."

"Maybe their pursuits are different from ours."

"What difference can it make? Why don't you sell yourself for a good price now that you are famous, and regret it later when you can't sell yourself anymore? I would like to sell myself at a low price now, but no one wants me."

"Do you think she's waiting for Cheng Cheng?"

"Why wait for him? That guy finally became popular again, but he made himself enemies all over the world. Who would dare to use him? Are you still expecting him to make a second movie? What a joke, good scripts are always available."

As a few people were talking, Yan Gou'er suddenly stopped and walked straight towards them.

Walking up to them, Yan Gou'er pursed her lips, frowned, and asked, "Excuse me, were you saying bad things about me just now?"

"Ah?" Several girls felt guilty under her gaze. They had never expected Yan Gou'er to do this. The leading girl argued, "No, no, we were just discussing. We didn't say anything bad about you."

Yan Gou'er said: "Then repeat it again, I want to hear whether it is a bad word or not."

One of the girls stepped forward to apologize, and said stiffly, “I’m sorry, we didn’t expect you to hear us. No, that’s not what I meant. I meant that we shouldn’t have said that to you—”

"It's okay." Yan Gou'er interrupted them and said, "I just want to tell you that it's not good to say bad things about people behind their backs, but it's okay if you say it in front of me. Just say it now."

After saying that, she blinked and looked at everyone, her dark eyes expressionless.

"what?"

Several girls looked at each other and ran away in fear. Their voices could be heard from afar: "Is she sick?" and "She's crazy."

Yan Gou'er looked at their backs as they ran away, a smile flashed in his eyes. For the first time, he felt that going crazy could be so useful!

Arriving at the library, Yan Gouer opened his textbook and continued reading and taking notes.

The people around her were also in a commotion for a moment because of her coming in. Most people had complicated feelings towards Yan Gou'er. They were envious, jealous and hateful, but they also felt that Yan Gou'er was really stupid and had wasted such a good opportunity.

Even the class teacher was afraid of Yan Gou'er and talked to her many times to ask her what she really thought.

In fact, Yan Gou'er's idea is very simple, she just wants to act well.

When the agency first approached her, although she already had someone in her heart, she still wanted to hear the conditions they offered. However, she didn't expect the conditions to be so harsh, and they would often sign contracts for 10 or 15 years.

This is actually easy to understand. After all, in their eyes, Yan Gou'er is just a newcomer who became unexpectedly popular and has no right to bargain.

But what was too much was the restrictions that the agency put on her life and career. After signing the contract, she not only had to attend various activities arranged by the company, but even her private life was strictly restricted. She had no autonomy even when it came to acting. She had to act in whatever the company arranged for her, and she had no right to refuse.

Moreover, some companies have planned for her to participate in dating variety shows and hype up scandals, etc., which is completely contrary to her pursuit.

She just wants to act well.

But the agency's argument is also convincing. This is an era of traffic. Stars emerge one after another and the renewal is very fast. There are always girls who are prettier, younger and more open-minded than you waiting to take the top. Only by leaning on a big tree can you always maintain the topic and popularity and receive a steady stream of film contracts. In this era, you cannot survive by fighting alone.

Even her class teacher advised her that this is how the industry is now and how the agencies are. These conditions are already very generous and are based on your popularity. The conditions for amateurs will only be more demanding and you must accept them if you want to join the industry. You see, these conditions are very demanding, but how many people want them but can't get them!
Without the resources and opportunities provided by these agencies, it would be impossible to become famous, a star, or a big name.

Once you become a big name, you will naturally have the right to bargain, and the contract can be negotiated at that time.

But Yan Gou'er felt that this shouldn't be the case. How much would she have to sacrifice before she became a big shot?
Do you really want to play a fake love role in a dating show? Do you really want to hype up a couple with a stranger and rely on sexual content to maintain your popularity and gain fame?
No, this is not what she wants.

If she can only gain fame by such low-level means, she would rather not have it.

Perhaps, her choice seemed extremely foolish, very "naive", and very "idealistic" to others, but it was indeed Yan Gou'er's truest thought, and -

Changeless.

"Here~" Wang Hong handed Yan Gou'er a glass of freshly squeezed cucumber juice. Before she even sat down, she started her daily complaints:

"Oh, that advertiser is so annoying. He keeps asking me to change the shooting plan. It's totally unreasonable! I only made 500 yuan from him, but he kept asking me to reshoot five or six times. It's so annoying."

Yan Gou'er took the cucumber juice, inserted the straw into it, took a sip, and did not respond. He lowered his head and continued reading.

"Also, do you know that new intern? He actually broke the camera, causing the entire crew to work overtime for an hour. It's really speechless." As she spoke, she took out her textbooks and sat opposite Yan Gou'er.

During this period of time, Wang Hong has been reading books and working on her acting skills with Yan Gou'er every day, and she seems to have really changed.

Maybe it is through this method that I can fill the confusion in my heart.

But instead of filling her confusion, she became even more confused.

After reading for less than ten minutes, her mind was already scattered. She looked up at the meticulous Yan Gou'er and couldn't help asking:
"Xiao Gou'er, are you really not considering those agencies anymore? I think what our class teacher said is right. This is the reality."

Yan Gou'er shook his head and replied calmly: "Not considering it."

"Ah~", Wang Hong didn't know what to say, and sighed, "Sometimes I really envy you, it's really like you're dying of drought or flood."

"But those companies are really something. They clearly want to tie you down. They disappeared before you became famous, but after you became famous, they came to reap the benefits. What do you think, little Gou'er? Are you not going to sign a contract for the rest of your life?"

Before she finished her words, Yan Gou'er's phone suddenly lit up and a WeChat message popped up.

Cheng Cheng: "New movie, female lead, do you have a release date?"

Yan Gou'er caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of her eye, her eyes curved, the corners of her mouth raised, revealing a smile as bright as a crescent moon and as beautiful as a newly blooming flower.

There was no excitement in that smile, only three simple words: I've been waiting for it.

She took the phone and quickly replied, "Yes."

"Eh?" Wang Hong was puzzled. "Xiao Gou'er, what's the good news? Why are you smiling so happily?"

Yan Gou'er showed her his phone and said, "Director Cheng asked me to act in a movie, the leading female role."

Wang Hong was more excited than Yan Gou'er at this moment. She said quickly:

"Ahhh, that's great, Xiao Gou'er, please help me ask if Director Cheng still needs any actors! I can do it, I can do it!"
