Thinking of this, Deputy Director Sun, who had just picked up the chopsticks, frowned, and immediately reacted. He smiled and stood up and said:

"I've drunk a bit too much. I'm going to the bathroom first. Mr. Yan, Jian Xia, Xiao He, you guys eat first. I'll be right back!"

After saying that, he took his phone and walked out of the box, and as soon as he left the box, he walked to a deserted place.

Hide in a secluded and quiet place and quickly call Director Lu.

"Director Lu, you finally answered the phone."

"Hahaha~ Just from the sound of your voice, I can tell that you are stumped by Yan Ning, right?"

"Hey, why are you still in the mood to laugh at me? To make a long story short, Yan Ning made two conditions. First, Jian Xia's salary is 300 million yuan, and she cooperates with the publicity. Second, they require that it be stated in the contract that no changes or deletions to Jian Xia's scenes be made, otherwise a penalty of 500 million yuan will be paid!"

"This Yan Ning is so bold!" Director Lu gritted his teeth on the other end of the phone.

"Isn't it? But when I said no, they just told me to have dinner and not to mention this matter anymore. Also, I don't know how Yan Ning found out that the investor had inserted Du Lingling into the deal."

Deputy Director Sun's words made Director Lu on the other end of the phone silent for a long time, and then he said: "It seems that they are afraid that Jian Xia will suffer a loss, so they made such a request."

"So what do you think we should do now? She looks like she has no room for negotiation. If it were you, with three million, we could hire a popular second-tier actress to play the role. She's just the third female lead!"

"What do you know? This script is very good. The investors wanted to choose the role of Wang Lu for Du Lingling. Why didn't I agree? It's because the role of Wang Lu is very suitable for Jian Xia. In my mind, no one is more suitable for Wang Lu than Jian Xia."

"Then can you agree to her request?"

"Are these the only two requirements? Have you made them clear?" Director Lu confirmed.

After thinking for a while, Deputy Director Sun was stunned and said honestly: "She stopped here and didn't say anything else. How about I go back and ask her?"

"You, don't panic or rush when something happens! Let's put it this way, you go and tell Yan Ning, if she only has these two conditions, then I agree. If she has other conditions, ask her to call me directly!" Director Lu hung up after he finished speaking.

Assistant Director Sun smacked his lips, then turned around and went to the bathroom before returning to the box.

"The environment of this restaurant is indeed elegant and classy, ​​hahaha~ I am a rough guy, but I am blessed by Mr. Yan and Jian Xia! I can also enjoy a meal in this elegant place."

"Coach Sun, you are really praising us. You have had all kinds of great meals with Coach Lu. I noticed that you didn't eat much today. I was wondering if the food is not to your liking and you don't like it?" Yan Ning joked.

To Assistant Director Sun, it sounded like he was saying that he didn't eat enough, and also like he looked down on Jian Xia's dish.

So he immediately picked up the chopsticks, ate a few more bites, and then smiled and said: "Mr. Yan, Director Lu really likes Jian Xia. He reserved the role of Wang Lu for Jian Xia. Otherwise, how could his play still not have the third female role decided? Many artists wanted this role, but Director Lu decided on Jian Xia."

At this point, he took a sip of tea, sighed, and said bluntly: "I just called Director Lu and conveyed your intention to him. Director Lu asked me to ask you, do you have any other requirements besides these two conditions?"

Yan Ning looked at Deputy Director Sun and said seriously: "Director Sun, I am not the kind of person who pushes the issue too far. I am just asking for benefits that should be commensurate with Jian Xia's interests within a reasonable range! I like to say ugly things upfront, so we don't have to worry about these things later, right?"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

"Director Lu appreciates Jian Xia so much, and we are not ungrateful, so I only have those two requests, and you don't have to make it difficult. Even if our cooperation fails, our friendship is still there, and maybe there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future."

"No, no, no, what are you talking about, Mr. Yan? Since you only have these two requests, then we will agree. We just hope for a pleasant cooperation in the future!" Deputy Director Sun was afraid that Yan Ning would immediately pull Jian Xia away.

Yan Ning smiled and stretched out his hand: "Happy cooperation!"

"Hahaha, of course. I'll print out the new contract when I get home today, and then have my assistant send it to the company for you to sign."

"Thank you for your hard work, Director Sun! When Jian Xia is on the set, she will need your support. Jian Xia, why are you still standing there? Come on and give Director Sun a toast!"

Jian Xia was burying her head, eating vegetables with one mouth and listening to melon with the other!

Then I heard Yan Ning asking me to toast Deputy Director Sun.

But she doesn't drink?

At this time, Yan Ning kicked Jian Xia under the table, and He Xin quickly poured a drink for Jian Xia and said with a smile: "Boss Yan, let Jian Xia lead the way with the drink. After all, she is still dubbing, and the alcohol will have an impact. Director Sun, please forgive me."

When Assistant Director Sun heard that Jian Xia was still dubbing, he smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay. We are all family, so we don't need to be picky."

Jian Xia reacted and quickly picked up the drink cup and said with a smile: "Director Sun, I will use the drink instead of wine to toast you. Thank you and Director Lu for giving me this opportunity! Please take care of me in the future!"

"Okay, you're welcome. When you join the crew in the future, if you have any difficulties, just come to me." Assistant Director Sun immediately patted his chest and promised.

Facing Jian Xia's face, smiling and thanking him, he really felt a little dizzy.

After finishing the meal and happily seeing off Deputy Director Sun, Yan Ning looked at Jian Xia and glared at her with a cold face!

Jian Xia looked bewildered: "Sister Ning, what's wrong? I just thought that drinking alcohol is bad for my throat..."

"It's not what happened just now."

"What's that?" Jian Xia was stunned.

Yan Ning closed her eyes in anger: "Jian Xia, although I give you enough freedom, you can't do whatever you want, okay? You are a star now, not a little reporter, gossiping and interviewing everywhere!"

Jian Xia blinked and retorted unconvincedly: "I'm just interacting with fans, this is not a gossip interview."

"You still have the guts to say that? If you weren't an artist like Ba Daojian, you wouldn't be able to sustain this level of popularity in the entertainment industry with your current achievements. Under such circumstances, for an artist without any real achievements, frequent appearances on trending searches will only cause negative impacts and ruin your popularity among passersby!"

"Sister Ning, I know what you said, but don't be so angry~ My original intention was to thank the fans for their support. After all, it has been a month since I participated in the show, and I haven't greeted them or said a word of thanks for their support."

Jian Xia smiled mischievously but spoke seriously.

Yan Ning had no choice but to look at the time and patiently explain to her: "Your every move is being watched by your fans, Jian Xia, you now have 12 million fans, all of whom are fans. If you do something, they will push you to the hot search list. If someone takes advantage of you, you will be the one who suffers in the end."

After hearing what Yan Ning said, Jian Xia thought of Jiang Yining. If the previous storm of public opinion about Yao Bei'er had made Jian Xia realize the madness of public opinion.

It was Jiang Yining's counterattack that really gave Jian Xia a deep understanding of the fighting in the entertainment industry.

After all, she did nothing and was even a victim, but in the end, she was thrown dirty water on and cursed with all kinds of ugly and dirty words.

Ren Tianyu even told her that while she was recording a variety show, someone posted a photoshopped picture to make up a dirty rumor about her!
