I was rebellious by nature, but I ended up becoming a top influencer.

This series of donations completely stunned Qi Tian. What was going on? Why would anyone donate money for him?

Seeing his bewildered expression, Wang Jingjing leaned over for a look and was also surprised: "You already have a fan leader before you've even debuted?"

Director Ding was clumsily making hot and sour noodles when he heard Wang Jingjing's words and curiously came over to take a look. He was quick-witted and immediately looked at the table next to him.

"Could this 'Princess Guan' be Guan Jiao? The others must be her companions, right?"

Qi Tian looked suspiciously at the young ladies at the next table, and immediately noticed that they were all smiling and waving their phones at him.

"Hey bro, please accept my friend request!"

"Qi Tian's songs are so good, I look forward to your new songs!"

I've followed your Weibo account too, hope you update your status more often!

……

Qi Tian smiled and nodded at the other person, both amused and exasperated. He picked up his phone and saw that there were indeed six new friend requests.

All passed.

The girls at the next table immediately cheered.

Upon seeing the other person's nickname, Qi Tian immediately recognized them; it was indeed the people who had voted for him.

Qi Tian thanked her profusely, and the young lady opposite him immediately began bombarding him with messages.

"We're full, let's go!"

Wang Jingjing picked up a tissue to wipe her mouth and looked at Director Ding. Director Ding originally wanted to eat some more hot and sour noodles, but when he saw Wang Jingjing's unfriendly gaze, he immediately stood up.

"I'm full too. Qi Tian, ​​you should familiarize yourself with the script these next few days. We'll start filming next week, and try to finish it all in one week. I was planning to talk about the female lead today, but we'll have to wait until tomorrow."

"Oh? Okay!"

Qi Tian stood up and said goodbye to the ladies at the next table. The ladies all took out their phones to take pictures of the handsome Qi Tian.

They had also overheard conversations about filming and female leads. It seemed that this handsome man was about to enter the entertainment industry.

Wouldn't that mean we could get the moon first from the water?

The women immediately looked at the super message in their hands, eagerly anticipating Qi Tian's interaction.

Just as Director Ding and Wang Jingjing stepped out of the sea to retrieve the fish, a system notification suddenly appeared.

[Ding! Successfully achieved the effect of spending 500 yuan on a 50 yuan meal, and inspired diners and livestream viewers to eat hotpot in unconventional ways. Rating: D. Reward: 1000 points of "Rebellious Spirit".]

[Note: The host is seriously ill if they are cooking for themselves at a hot pot restaurant!]

……

Upon seeing the system say that he had a serious illness, Qi Tian couldn't help but roll his eyes. If it weren't for you forcing me, would someone as socially awkward as me show off my cooking skills in public?

The three said goodbye at the entrance of the hot pot restaurant. Wang Jingjing drove Qi Tian home in her luxury car. Surprisingly, Wang Jingjing performed steadily all the way and did not make Qi Tian vomit up the beef rice he had eaten.

"Think about the script and salary tonight, and give me an answer tomorrow."

Before parting, Wang Jingjing reminded Qi Tian that there was no rush to sign the artist contract, but the current film remuneration contract and script copyright contract needed to be signed first.

Qi Tian expressed his understanding and felt very grateful to Wang Jingjing.

Although this short drama used her own script, and there are so many artists in the group, many of whom are from professional backgrounds, in the end she was chosen to play the male lead. Wang Jingjing's intentions were truly good.

Moreover, if you don't sign an artist contract before filming, it's like the company is paying you to promote yourself. If you succeed, your value will skyrocket, and when you talk about an artist contract later, the terms will definitely be on a different level.

Even if short dramas aren't mainstream, once they gain popularity, even someone with terrible acting skills can accumulate a certain fan base.

After all, for short dramas, good looks are everything. With such a great foundation, Qi Tian's ability to attract fans is definitely not bad.

However, Wang Jingjing did just that, not following the usual rules or industry norms, which made him even more determined to make this drama a success.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

Qi Tian saw his colleagues from the legal department waiting for him. The two went into the conference room and discussed for a long time. Finally, they came up with a contract that they both agreed on, and then they went to see Wang Jingjing together.

"Actor's fee of 3, script copyright fee of 2+, total revenue consumption of 5%? All of it was used for investment revenue?"

Wang Jingjing looked at the agreed-upon contract terms and nodded in satisfaction.

The acting fee of 3 is a bit low, but Qi Tian is just a newcomer. Before he proves his ability to attract fans, this fee is acceptable.

In comparison, 5% of the total revenue is not a small amount. It is clear that Qi Tian gave up the seemingly useful actor salaries and focused on commissions. Moreover, on this basis, he converted all the remuneration into revenue commissions.

This step can be described as extremely daring. If it's done well, Qi Tian's bicycle will turn into a motorcycle; if it's done poorly, Qi Tian will only be left with nothing but the northwest wind.

"Are you that confident in your acting skills and the script?"

Wang Jingjing could no longer hide her admiration; she had never met such a talented yet decisive peer.

"Anyway, I don't have much to lose, and this way, the production team can spend more money on production."

Qi Tian was full of confidence. His novel, "Let's Get Married in a Flash," had once generated over 2000 million views in 24 hours in another world.

The population of Earth is twice that of the other world, with a total population of nearly 200 billion, and the total population of the Great Qian Kingdom alone reaches 50 billion.

With such a large population base, he believed that "Let's Get Married in a Flash" would definitely not be much worse than the success of "Otherworld".

"Then let's sign it!"

Wang Jingjing waved and signed her name on the contract, which made Qi Tian secretly raise an eyebrow.

Surprisingly, it wasn't Li Tianming, the branch manager, who signed it. Although company employees could sign as contract representatives, Wang Jingjing didn't seem to have consulted Li Tianming's opinion on this signing method, which indicated that things were about to change at Tianhua branch.

Hold on tight to those long legs!

After the contract was signed, Wang Jingjing immediately began convening meetings with various departments to arrange the filming work.

Director Ding has a well-established production team, so even costumes, props, and makeup don't need to be provided by the Tianhua branch. The Tianhua branch staff only need to handle logistical support, coordinating and renting the corresponding locations according to the Qitian script and Director Ding's shooting schedule, and agreeing on shooting times. They also need to arrange for takeout meals and other logistical tasks.

When everyone at Tianhua branch learned that Qi Tian had signed a contract to become the male lead of this drama, they were all stunned. Although they were all familiar with celebrities, weren't you an intern screenwriter? How did you suddenly become the male lead?

Sun Jing was still angry that Qi Tian had tricked her into buying milk tea, but when she saw this message, her cherry lips turned into an "O" shape again.

What's going on?

Is this guy going to become a big star?

This intern who always steals my milk tea is going to become the male lead in a short drama?

Although the investment is only 500,000, the turnover of tens of millions is already prepared. Doesn't this mean that Qi Tian is going to become a household name and a big star?

The legendary "domineering CEO falls in love with me" storyline is about to happen right next to me?

We agreed to make salted fish together, how could you secretly compete with me like this?

What happened to the promise that Gen Z wouldn't lie to Gen Z?

dong dong!

A super message was quickly sent.

"Brother Tian, ​​what kind of milk tea would you like to drink for lunch today? I'll buy it for you first and keep it warm in my arms."
