Chapter 21. Agency

”I don't know how but we have to breakeven within the first two weeks.”

Forest Production CEO Shin said as he shouted towards the employees.

His face looked pale, not because of the anxiety but because of working too hard. There were dark circles under his shaggy eyes. He was even finding it hard to walk but he was still working.

”Don't worry, CEO, we are already working on it.”

”Yeah, we are fleshing out press release every minute. There are tons of articles on the internet as well.”

”Yeah, we will surely make it big.”

The employees were also tired like the CEO but they still kept working.

”We have to give our all in the marketing. It was not easy to took more money from the investors. We have to give our best in it.”

”Don't worry, CEO, we will surely do great. Our main trailer already had more than 10 million views.”

The marketing department head, Shi Shang said as he carried over a stack of paper.

”It isn't just about the trailer, we have to do more than that. That movie «Silly love» is garnering more attention from the public.”

”Isn't that because of the rumours that the male and female lead are dating?”

”Ha, that's just bullshit rumours created to make more hype for the movie.”

”Can't we do something like that? I think our movie will gather more attention that way.”

”We can't have that. Their agencies would not agree. Agencies, these days are sensitive about dating rumours and they are already helping us by sending out press releases.”

”Yeah, Chu Min and Li Xinru are also promoting the film on their social media accounts and some entertainment shows.”

”Yeah, they are intensely promoting the film among the fans.”

Amidst the employees talking, a producer asked a question about Ren.

”What about the actor playing the role of Jay, Xin Ren. I didn't see any articles regarding him.”

Hearing that, the other employees also chimed in as they said.

”Yeah, there were not even articles like 'New rookie to debut.' or 'An amazing rookie debut'.”

”There really isn't any article about him. What the hell is his agency doing?”

Shi Shang clicked his tongue listening to the conversation, as he said.

”Don't you know that he didn't have any agency.”

”What??”

”He don't have any agency!!”

”I can't believe it. I thought that he was trained for a long time, seeing his acting.”

Confused voices sounded out when Shi Shang said those words.

”Yeah, it's a pity that he didn't have any agency. Either way, I bet many agencies would want to recruit him after the movie premieres.”

”Yeah, that's true.”

CEO Shin said as he thought of his acting which was shocking at the very least.

The atmosphere was somewhat tense.

Ren was currently sitting in a restaurant with Jiang Wan and Zhang Yufeng sitting in front of him.

They both had nervous but expectant expressions on their faces.

”So, you have finally decided which agency you want to join, huh?”

”Yes, I have decided.”

Ren said while calmly looking at those two. It's been a little over the month since they had both shown interest in him and Ren had finally decided to give his answer.

The shooting of the movie had already finished and the trailer was also launched. The movie was close to releasing.

At first, Ren had thought to select a agency after the movie release. He can get a better contract that way but his thoughts changed when he thought about it deeply.

If he decided to choose his agency after the movie release, then he can get a increased pay but he can also lost his chance at garnering more popularity.

The movie can make him a hot topic for sometime but to continue it, he would need a agency.
