The audition lasted for more than an hour.

Xie Junfei and Wenren Ge were chatting and eating sunflower seeds outside, their mouths were practically hoarse from talking, when Lu Wanzhou finally came out.

Lu Wanzhou looked exhausted, but Wenren Yue, who was standing next to her, was full of energy.

He strode over to Xie Junfei's side:

"The second office next door, let's get the contract sorted out, sign it right away."

"I've already made contact with the production team, and we'll be departing for filming in a week."

"It's cold in Northeast China, so bring plenty of clothes and warm clothing."

After speaking, he turned to look at Lu Wanzhou, his usually serious eyes now showing a hint of appreciation:

"Good job, work hard with me, and you'll get a nomination even if you don't win an award."

Lu Wanzhou forced a smile at him and whispered her thanks.

Finally, with this major threat resolved, even Wenren Yue, a man who rarely showed his emotions, breathed a sigh of relief and raised his voice:

"There's a studio dinner at Lishui Restaurant tonight, it's on me."

Upon hearing this, Wenren Ge immediately cheered, then walked to Xie Junfei's side, beaming with joy:

"Congratulations, your first actor is already so talented."

Xie Junfei smiled, neither confirming nor denying.

After the two Wen brothers came downstairs, Xie Junfei pulled Lu Wanzhou aside, looked her up and down, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that her clothes were clean and she was alright.

"As long as everyone is alright."

"You seemed unhappy just now, are you dissatisfied with this movie?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Wanzhou quickly shook her head:

"How could that be? This is Director Wen's film, I'd be more than willing."

"But... I haven't seen my grandma for half a year, and I'm a little worried."

Hearing that this was the matter she was hesitating about, Xie Junfei immediately breathed a sigh of relief and smiled:

"It's nothing, don't worry, your grandma is fine."

"If you have high blood pressure, you can live a normal life as long as it is well controlled."

"I'll give you the address this weekend, and you can go check on your grandma's condition yourself."

Hearing this, Lu Wanzhou was overjoyed and quickly thanked Xie Junfei.

After discussing family, it's time to talk about career.

Thinking about the contract to be signed next, Xie Junfei felt a headache coming on and began to give Lu Wanzhou a heads-up:

"Let me tell you in advance, Wenren Yue's pay for your role might not be very high."

"In the end, this film is just an art film. It can't compare to commercial films and it doesn't make much money at the box office. Many stars use it as a stepping stone to win awards."

"Your salary is estimated to be at most 700,000. You should think it over carefully."

Upon hearing this, Lu Wanzhou immediately nodded:

"Don't worry, Miss Xie, I'm willing to accept any price."

"I had few classes in my senior year and nothing to do. Director Wen's films are very rare, and 700,000 is a lot."

Seeing that her actors were so sensible, Xie Junfei nodded in satisfaction:

"That's good."

After all, this was the first little star he had ever mentored, so Xie Junfei took it very seriously and added an extra explanation:

"This movie is for you to win awards. With Wenren Yue's abilities, as long as he submits it to the Oscars, he will definitely be nominated."

“I see you as a movie star. When you debut with this art film, your status will naturally be different from those popular young actresses.”

Lu Wanzhou nodded vigorously, her eyes filled with admiration and gratitude.

Xie Junfei patted her shoulder, and was about to leave when he remembered something, turned back and instructed Lu Wanzhou:

"You're someone I, Xie Junfei, signed. From now on, we won't cause trouble when we go out, but we're not afraid of trouble either. Let's not let anyone step on your head."

"As long as you don't make any fundamental mistakes, you're someone that the Xie and Huo families protect."

After saying that, the girl patted Lu Wanzhou's shoulder meaningfully, and then gracefully left.

The audition process took longer than the contract negotiation.

Although Xie Junfei is young and has never managed an artist before, she has plenty of experience in negotiating contracts.

In addition, Wenren Yue is a director who values ​​talent and is generous, and the salary and conditions he offered were very good.

The final contract was finalized, with a post-tax salary of 750,000 yuan. After the film ended, Lu Wanzhou would be promoted as the female lead, and she would also be included in the film's casting process.

When signing the contract, Wenren Yue went upstairs to take a look. After seeing the generous terms, he twitched his eye and was somewhat speechless.

"It's like they're doing this specifically to promote Lu Wanzhou."

"When we go out for publicity, we need to keep Lu Wanzhou away from me, so that those people won't suspect that I'm keeping her as a mistress."

Xie Junfei ultimately benefited greatly, and smiled shrewdly:

"Come on, Holland invested in this movie, and his salary was just taken from the left pocket of the Holland family and transferred to the right pocket."

After saying that, she waved the signed contract in front of Wenren Yue, looking surprised.

"No way, no way, Director Wen is so petty."

"I think my little star is much better than those popular young actresses. She has good acting skills, a good temper, and her manager is easy to manage. Aren't you satisfied?"

Wenren Yue, being an adult, saw the little girl's troublemaking expression and simply pinched her cheek:

"Alright, alright, my little darling, you're even harder to please than your Lan-jie."

"Let's hurry up, or we'll be late for dinner tonight."

Seeing that he didn't mind, Xie Junfei smiled, took the contract, and followed Wenren Yue.

This contract and audition can be seen as a test from Holland for her.

After all, how can an agent and actor who can't even land a small audition possibly face more difficulties in the future?

From now on, Lu Wanzhou's accompanying assistant team won't need to worry about things like warm clothing.

Venus has a complete team of artists. Although Lu Wanzhou has not made it public, with Holland, everything is not a problem.

Xie Junfei only needs to go to the film set in Northeast China with Lu Wanzhou and hand her over to the team.

Thinking of this, Xie Junfei breathed a long sigh of relief, finally feeling at ease.

When I got off the bus at Lishuilou in the evening, the manager saw Xie Junfei from a great distance.

Lishuilou has always been elegant and refined, and with the Huo family's backing, it provides attentive service without being obsequious.

But Wenren Ge felt that this time was different. Not only was the manager attentive, but even the dishes on the table were much more refined.

Even with his extensive experience, he was still amazed by the plating on the table in front of him.

He stared in disbelief, slowly turning to look at his brother:

"Brother, are we just going to stop living our lives after this meal?"

"Even the emperor hasn't come to our private room, so why is Lishui Restaurant being so attentive today?"

Facing his foolish younger brother, Wenren Yue didn't even raise his head, but simply pointed at Xie Junfei with his chopsticks:

"The emperor didn't come, but the empress did."

"Eat your food properly and stop talking."

Hearing her brother say that, Wenren Ge was completely stunned.

Who in the capital doesn't know that the biggest boss of Lishui Tower is Huo Shen, the current head of the Huo family!

If the emperor is Huo Shen, then the empress is...

He slowly turned his head, an unbelievable answer flashing through his mind.

"So, you're Huo Shen's fiancée?"

He looked at Xie Junfei with disbelief: "But the age difference is too big!"

Upon hearing this, Xie Junfei rolled her eyes without any hesitation:

"Is an eight-year age difference a big difference?"

"I remember your uncle recently married a female student who was more than thirty years younger than him. It was quite a sight!"

When her elders were mentioned, she had hoped Wenren Ge would tone it down, but to her surprise, the brat waved his hand dismissively, completely unconcerned.

How could you compare him to Huo Shen!

"He's an old beast, but is Huo Shen an old beast too?"
