Chapter 97: The Family Wants to Become a Capitalist (Ch 97)

“Director Zeng, I feel like I didn’t perform well. Let’s try again!”

Zhou Dongyu said with a smile. Qi Jia trembled with fear when he said this.

“Director Zeng, I don’t think this is necessary. My lips are numb from kissing.”

Qi Jia had a sad face and a resentful look.

In the evening, the crew held a wrap-up party for Qi Jia in a private room on the sixth floor of the hotel.

Let’s raise our glasses to congratulate Qi Jia for the successful completion of the filming.

The banquet lasted until the early morning, and everyone returned to their rooms drunk.

…

At noon, Qi Jia brought Liu Yiran back to Shanghai, walked out of the airport, got on the special car that had been waiting for them, and returned to the company.

After not coming back for more than two months, he felt that there seemed to be many new faces in the company.

“Brother Qi is back, thank you for your hard work.”

“Hello, Brother Qi, I am the company’s newly signed artist…”

“Brother Qi, can I take a picture with you?”

“Qi Jia is back. You’ve worked hard over the past two months.”

Along the way, no matter if they knew him or not, people from the company would stop and say hello to Qi Jia when they saw him.

“Brother, everyone says you are the top guy in the company now.”

The young assistant followed Qi Jia with pride, head held high, walked to a deserted place, and whispered in Qi Jia’s ear with a strong sense of stealth.

“Young people, don’t compare yourself too much, just be yourself.”

Qi Jia tapped her head and said.

He asked the assistant to wait in the lounge first, and then he came to Chen Yuwen’s office and walked in directly.

“Sister, I’m back.”

Chen Yuwen was lying on the sofa with her long legs crossed and applying a facial mask to work as usual. When she heard this, she turned around and looked.

“Fuck, brother, did you go to film a movie, or did you get arrested for committing a crime? Why did you shave your head like this?”

Qi Jia sat down, touched his stiff stubble, and said helplessly.

“No choice, the plot requires it.”

“By the way, sister, I just noticed that there seem to be a lot of new people in the company.”

Chen Yuwen took off her mask, patted her face, and nodded.

“Well, after kicking you out, it’s much easier for the company to recruit people. Many new people who have just signed contracts come for you.”

After saying that, she suddenly changed the subject and said somewhat ambiguously,

“By the way, the company has also formed two girl groups. They are all 18-year-old girls. Do you want to go and have a look? They are very beautiful.”

Qi Jia rubbed his hands, looked embarrassed, and said,

“How can that be possible? That’s not good. Even rabbits don’t eat grass near their nests.”

The two chatted for a while, and when they saw that Chen Yuwen had nothing to say, Qi Jia stood up and prepared to go back.

Before leaving, Chen Yuwen suddenly spoke again,

“I’ll ask Auntie to make you some more hair growth foods. The crew of Debater’s Friend will start filming in more than a month. How can you join the crew like this?”

This is a problem. If Chen Yuwen hadn’t reminded him, Qi Jia almost forgot about it, so he nodded quickly.

I went home and gave my assistant a long vacation.

For the next ten days, Qi Jia stayed at home and apart from reading scripts, he ate various foods that could accelerate hair growth.

Then every noon he went to the high-end hair salon arranged for him by Chen Yuwen to do scalp care and accelerate hair growth by massaging his scalp.

At noon that day, he had just come out of the hair salon and was on his way home when he received a text message on his phone.

It showed that his CMB card had received RMB 3.45 million.

After thinking about it carefully, he realized that this was the remuneration for being a better person and participating in Longing for Life.

Among them, the salary for “Better Days” was 1 million, and the appearance fee for “Longing for Life” was 7 million.

After deducting the company’s share and taxes, this is roughly the amount you get.

It seems that you still make money by appearing on variety shows. It takes months of hard work to make a movie and only earn one million.

It’s easy to appear on a variety show and earn seven million in just two days. No wonder so many celebrities like to participate in variety shows now.

But then again, it’s not that it’s hard to make money by making movies, it’s just that he’s not qualified enough now.

If you want to make money by making movies, you either have to become a top-tier star, then earning several million a day will be like a piece of cake.

Or they can become investors, which is also the ultimate goal of all artists. Even though Qi Jia is so popular now and the whole company is supporting him,

But nothing lasts forever, and in the entertainment industry, which is a place of fame and fortune, no one dares to say that they will remain popular forever.

If one day Qi Jia is no longer popular, then everything now will become a thing of the past.

After all, no matter how popular a star is, he or she is just a tool for investors to make money. Only by becoming an investor can one truly have the right to make his or her own decisions!

There are only two ways to become an investor: one is to set up a company yourself, and the other is to become a shareholder of the contracted company.

The first one is too difficult. Qi Jia is still lacking the three most important things: money, power and connections.

Therefore, the only option he had was the second one, which was to work hard to increase his weight in Jiaxing. One day, when he reached the level of Sister Mi, he would have the capital to sit down with the company and negotiate reasonably.

Qi Jia was thinking when the phone suddenly rang. It was Chen Yuwen calling.

She said as soon as the call was connected.

“Qi Jia, where are you now?”

“I just finished nursing and am on my way home now.” Qi Jia replied.

“Let me ask you a question. Do you have a relative who plays music?”

???

“My family has been farmers for three generations. My family members are good at plowing the land, but no one in my family is good at playing music.”

Qi Jia thought about it seriously and said.

“Well, a musician came for an interview today. He kept saying that he was your uncle-in-law and that he had met you.” Chen Yuwen said.

((ᵒꈊᵒ᷅ ू‖))՞

When Chen Yuwen said this, Qi Jia immediately thought of a man dressed in West Coast style.

“Is he a hip-hop player?”

Qi Jia really couldn’t remember his name, so he could only ask,

“I think he’s dressed in a hip-hop style.”

Chen Yuwen pondered for a while, not knowing how to describe it, and finally said this:

“Damn, he even went to the company.”

Qi Jia was speechless for a while and said to Chen Yuwen.

“Sister, I don’t know him at all. You can handle it as you wish.”

“But there was another woman with him. She said she was your aunt and she showed us a photo of her and you.”

“I understand, sister. I’ll be there now.”

Qi Jia hung up the phone and asked the driver to drive him back to the company.

He was not angry, he just felt speechless. He really couldn’t like this girl at all.

Not to mention how ignorant she was when she was little, just last year during the National Day, she smashed the bowl and walked away in front of so many people.

She didn’t give her parents any face at all. Now that she sees that I’m famous, she comes to the company to make trouble. I really don’t know how she can be so thick-skinned.

My parents and uncle definitely didn’t know about this, otherwise they would have called me long ago.

Qi Jia had no plans to inform them and was prepared to handle the problem himself. If the aunt didn’t feel embarrassed enough afterwards, she could go back and file a complaint.

Let me talk about two things.

In Jiaxing Media Company, Qi Xiaodie and her hip-hop boyfriend were taken into the lounge.

When Qi Xiaodie heard that Qi Jia was on his way back, she looked very proud.

I thought to myself, even if he is famous, he is still a country boy at heart, and there is order of seniority. Since I, as the elder, have spoken, how dare he disobey?
