Chapter 309 - Sensible Choice (1/2)

“Eric will pay for the damages his daughter has caused in some other way. I’ll accept it as much as I can.” Yun Xiangxiang quickly added.

As long as she didn’t have to get involved with the Cardicra family, she could accept the endors.e.m.e.nt offer, even if they were related to the family.

She would have to come across Cardica’s brand sooner or later since they were in the same circle. Yun Xiangxiang couldn’t guarantee if the companies she was endorsing now didn’t collaborate with the Cardircra’s companies.

The Cardicra Family had a gigantic business empire which involved countless production lines. Since Yun Xiangxiang couldn’t escape it, she might as well accept the fact that she would have to work with them.

Yun Xiangxiang was surprised that Eric would be so generous as to give her two choices.

Eric found out that a famous Hollywood director was in the same city as Yun Xiangxiang that day. The director was here to do some field observation for his new film.

Yun Xiangxiang could choose to say that she went to the mansion to see this director and talk about her next film.

If Yun Xiangxiang made this choice, she could immediately join the Hollywood actors’ ranks by becoming this film’s female protagonist.

For Yun Xiangxiang, this was akin to rising to the top.

The other choice involved the top management of CX, the perfume brand. Yun Xiangxiang could choose to say that she talked about endors.e.m.e.nts with the top management.

No matter how she chose, Yun Xiangxiang was in the mansion for business.

This was Eric’s compensation for Yun Xiangxiang. Both choices were opportunities Chinese actors couldn’t reach.

As for how much Eric had to pay to make either of the choices work, that was Eric’s business.

If he gave Yun Xiangxiang the choices, of course, he had the resources to make it work.

Yun Xiangxiang didn’t make her own decision this time. Instead, she discussed it with He Wei.

He Wei had already rushed over to her place and looked at the draft of the contracts Eric emailed them.

It wasn’t easy to choose from. He Wei placed both of the printed contracts on the table. “What do you think?” he asked.

“I choose the endors.e.m.e.nt.” Yun Xiangxiang already had her choice. But since she made her own decision once, she had to talk with He Wei about this one.

If He Wei was more optimistic about the film, Yun Xiangxiang was willing to give it a try.

“You’ll be the female protagonist of a Hollywood film fully produced by Hollywood, and it will have an all-Hollywood cast. No Chinese actress has had this treatment before.” He Wei had to repeat it to her.

“Don’t test me, Brother Wei. You support my decision too.” Yun Xiangxiang exposed He Wei.

“Why should I support the endors.e.m.e.nt?” He Wei refused to admit it. He crossed his arms and leaned against the sofa. “My goal is to make you into a world-famous actress. You’ll have tons of endors.e.m.e.nts once you’re famous overseas. Many CX-level endors.e.m.e.nts would be waiting for you.

“I don’t think I should try to go for Hollywood at this time. I’m not at that level yet,” Yun Xiangxiang rolled her eyes at He Wei.

“First of all, I saw this film’s script. If the protagonist were to be changed to Chinese, it would cause a lot of contradictions.”

“Secondly, asking for a script change no matter what would make the director, the main cast, and even the whole team disgruntled at me.”

“Also, if I bought my way into the crew, they wouldn’t think highly of me. If I did it once, it would be hard for me to get a film in there next time.”

“Don’t forget that a castle must be built brick by brick, or else it wouldn’t be able to weather a storm.

A literal overnight success could end up destroying her in the long run.

One day, she would get these resources with her own hands.

“That’s all the defense you have?” He Wei raised his eyebrows.

Yun Xiangxiang snorted, “This director is a guy. The story accused me of sleeping around to get roles. Him choosing me to play a prominent role out of the blue wouldn’t to me any favors. The top management of CX—on the other hand—is a lady.”
