Chapter 647 647. Idol Drama Queen
Chen Qiaoen was sitting in the reception room of Huayi Company with a suitcase in her hand. She couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, and her thoughts could not help but drift to a night a month ago.
That night, she was recording a variety show. She was one of the regular hosts. After the recording of the show ended that day, the male host who partnered with her did not say hello and leave as usual, but stopped Chen Qiaoen who was about to leave.
"Qiaoen, your current state is very wrong. I didn't want to say it, but this is not a one-time or two-time problem. In the past month, you have been recording nearly ten shows, and you are not in the state. Being distracted is a minor thing. Today, you even mispronounced the name of the guest. I just want to ask you, do you really want to do this variety show well?"
As soon as he entered the room, the male host, who was called "Brother Cheng" in the industry, scolded Chen Qiaoen in a stern tone.
Chen Qiaoen was stunned by the sudden scolding, and then lowered her head and did not answer, because she knew that her performance was indeed not good enough, and the other party said that she had made mistakes.
But Chen Qiaoen's silence was seen as a sign of "rebellion" by Brother Cheng. He had been fuming for a long time, and when Chen Qiaoen took a negative attitude, he completely exploded.
"Chen Qiaoen, everyone in the circle knows that you look down on variety shows and you want to be an actress, but you don't even look in the mirror. You have acted in many dramas and you have broken the record of idol dramas in Taiwan, but how long have you been popular?"
"You still look down on variety shows now. I think you are just inflated. If you really think you are great, then leave this show. I don't want a penny of liquidated damages from you. And I'm going to say this now. If you leave, I can find a replacement within 24 hours. Do you believe it?" Brother Cheng said at the end, his tone full of ruthlessness.
If it were any other girl, she would probably give in at this moment and Cheng Ge would stop caring, after all, he was not a person without tolerance, but Chen Qiaoen was different from ordinary girls. This girl was born with a sense of alienation, especially when Cheng Ge's words seemed to trample on her ideals. This made the girl, even though her eyes were red from being scolded, still stubbornly lower her head and said nothing.
"Hmph, you don't have to come to the recording tomorrow!" After saying this, Cheng Ge slammed the door and left.
Half a minute later, Chen Qiaoen's agent walked into the room with a horrified look on his face, and saw his own artist hiding in the corner wiping tears.
"Qiong En, what's wrong? What did you and Cheng Ge talk about? Why did Cheng Ge leave so angrily?" After the agent entered the room, he looked at the crying artist and asked hurriedly.
Chen Qiaoen did not answer, but just wiped her tears and asked the agent to take her home.
During the journey, the agent asked a question almost every short time, and tried every possible method, but Chen Qiaoen remained silent from beginning to end, and looked like she would not be persuaded by anything.
Half an hour later, the car arrived at the door of Chen Qiaoen's house. This house was rented by the company for her. The company also paid the rent and miscellaneous expenses on weekdays, which was a reward for Chen Qiaoen's achievements.
"Qiong En, I hope you can think about it calmly. Now this food show has a good ratings, and your position is a very rare fixed host. I don't know how many people are looking forward to replacing you, so I suggest you think it through as soon as possible, and then go and apologize to Brother Chengcheng. Don't make mistakes, understand?" After sending Chen Qiaoen to the door, the agent left after saying this.
That night, Chen Qiaoen couldn't sleep. A scale appeared in her mind, with ideals on one side and reality on the other, swinging back and forth. She lay there until more than three o'clock in the morning before she fell asleep in a daze, and she also had a nightmare. In the dream, a demon took away her ideals, and she could only hold on to reality and cry and cry.
When she woke up in the morning, Chen Qiaoen found that her pillowcase was wet.
Sitting on the bed, Chen Qiaoen was in a daze for a long time, and then she remembered to wash up. She went into the bathroom and looked in the mirror, but found that her eyes were swollen like walnuts. She was even shocked at the first glance. Can she still go on the show like this? Chen Qiaoen thought distressedly, while fiddling with her cosmetics to see if there was any way to remedy it.
However, this worry soon disappeared. Her agent called her and told her that she didn't need to record today because someone had replaced her.
"Are you talking about Xiao Qiao?" Chen Qiaoen confirmed on the phone.
"Well, I was a little surprised by the call from the program team this morning. However, the program team only said that they would replace you for one episode. The program is still yours. I guess Brother Cheng just wants to teach you a lesson, so don't worry. When Brother Cheng and I have a good talk, you can come and apologize."
After comforting Chen Qiaoen, the agent hurriedly said, "Okay, I won't talk to you for now. I have to take Xiao Qiao to the program team to check the script and process. Bye."
Then the agent hurriedly hung up Chen Qiaoen's phone.
Listening to the busy tone from the phone, Chen Qiaoen was distracted again. She really didn't expect that Brother Cheng would do what he said, and she didn't expect that her teammate would replace her.
But for some reason, Chen Qiaoen, who should have been disappointed, had an idea that she shouldn't have. She thought that maybe it would be good to let Xiao Qiao replace her to do the program, or even completely replace her.
She didn't even care about the possibility of losing a show, because another idea suddenly emerged in her mind, and the girl made a decision on this bold idea in just half a day.
She wants to terminate her contract with the company and go to the mainland to develop!
She didn't know what she was crazy about at that time, and she had so much courage to want the company to terminate the contract, but Chen Qiaoen really did it, and she was very decisive. She came to the company that day, went directly to the boss's office, and proposed Understand the intention of making an appointment.
The boss was startled by the girl's impulsiveness. After asking about the situation, the boss was also very angry.
But no matter how the boss tried to persuade her, Chen Qiaoen was determined to give her two solutions, either let her film the movie or terminate the contract.
How could the boss agree to such a thing? If everyone is as noisy as Chen Qiaoen and there will be dramas, will his company continue to operate?
So the boss was also angry and said harsh words directly to Chen Qiaoen: "You don't have to be disobedient, as long as you pay the liquidated damages, you can get out."
After hearing these words, Chen Qiaoen said nothing and left the boss's office silently.
In the next three days, Chen Qiaoen never came to the company again. Even the company boss thought that Chen Qiaoen was about to give in. Chen Qiaoen finally came to the company on the fourth day, but this time she brought liquidated damages. Come.
No more, no less, exactly 10 million Taiwan dollars. For this, Chen Qiaoen spent all the money he had saved over the years of filming and doing variety shows, and also borrowed some from friends. Even his mother in his hometown gave it to him. All her pension funds were given to her, so that she could collect enough money.
The boss really didn't expect that Chen Qiaoen would do such a great job, but when things got to this point and both parties refused to give in, there was obviously no way out, so the boss had no choice but to accept the liquidated damages and terminate the contract with Chen Qiaoen.
However, after signing the contract, the boss did not forget to say a harsh word.
"Little girl, it's good to have ideals, but sometimes you have to act within your capabilities. If you leave my company today, do you believe that you will have no chance to get into this industry in the future? I hope you won't regret today's decision."
"I don't regret it." Chen Qiaoen replied.
"Oh, she's quite tough. It's a pity that no matter how tough an artist is, I can turn her into a soft bone." After leaving these words, the boss slammed the door and left. Half an hour later, there was news in the circle that this The boss wants to block the news about Chen Qiaoen.
After everyone in the circle got the news, they felt that Chen Qiaoen was doomed.
As a result, Chen Qiaoen even made the headlines of Baodao's entertainment magazine for the first time in a long time. After all, although Chen Qiaoen's popularity has declined sharply, she is still the heroine of the TV series with the highest ratings of idol dramas, and she also has the support of some fans. , the most important thing is that the public just loves to see this kind of misfortune of celebrities.
Several of Chen Qiaoen's friends also felt that things were very unfavorable for Chen Qiaoen after learning the news. However, when they found Chen Qiaoen, they found that he had been sentenced to death by many people in the circle. The girl seemed extraordinarily calm, not panicked or angry at all, and even smiled happily when she saw them.
And after everyone entered the house, they discovered that Chen Qiaoen was packing his luggage, as if he was going on a trip.
"That's right, it's good to go out and relax. I think Jon has been too depressed recently." A friend said.
"Who said I was going to travel? I am going to the mainland." Chen Qiaoen's response surprised everyone.
"Are you going to develop in the Mainland?" A good sister asked Chen Qiaoen seriously: "Why did you have this idea? Have you considered it, or is there an entertainment company in the Mainland that wants to sign you, so you just signed with the current one?" The company terminated the contract?”
When talking about this last possibility, several friends' eyes lit up. If it is as expected by this friend that Chen Qiaoen has already connected with an entertainment company in the Mainland, then there is really no need to worry about the so-called ban from her former boss. After all, that person The boss's energy is only in the treasure island, but the mainland across the sea is beyond the boss's reach.
Under the expectant eyes of everyone, Chen Qiaoen shook his head and said with a wry smile: "No mainland entertainment company has contacted me, let alone signed me."
well---!
Several friends sighed with regret, and one of them asked: "Then why do you want to go to the Mainland? If you really want to go there to make a career, you have never been to the Mainland. How will you find a job when you get there? Shoot, what should you do if you are in danger? You have no friends or relatives there."
At the end of the story, this friend even had tears in his eyes because he felt that his good friend's stardom was so bumpy.
"Actually, I don't have any ideas. Do you still remember that Nie Wei and I were on a show?" Chen Qiaoen quickly put his arms around his friend and explained while comforting him.
"Nie Wei?" The name was as dazzling as a keyword in a game mission prompt. It immediately attracted the attention of all Chen Qiaoen's friends. Even the one who was about to cry instantly withdrew his tears and looked at Chen Qiaoen in disbelief. Bridge En.
"After that show, he told me that I am more suitable to be an actor. He also said that if I want to be an actor, I have to go to the mainland where the stage is bigger. If I have this idea by then, , you can go find him." Chen Qiaoen still clearly remembered what Nie Wei said to him at that time, and told his friends everything without any concealment.
"Is it just a verbal promise? And how long has it been?" After listening to Chen Qiaoen's words, some friends raised their concerns.
"But at least it's a way out, better than staying hopelessly in Taiwan. With that vampire suppressing Jon, Jon's acting career in Taiwan is temporarily cut off." A very opinionated friend of Chen Qiaoen's girlfriends stood up and expressed her opinion.
This statement was immediately recognized by most people present, and the remaining small group did not object, but expressed concern about Chen Qiaoen going to the mainland with just a verbal promise.
A week later, Chen Qiaoen got a work permit to the mainland, and then boarded a plane to the mainland under the witness of a group of friends and the media.
"Is this the process you suddenly found?" Nie Wei handed Chen Qiaoen a bottle of mineral water and said with a smile.
Chen Qiaoen took the water and nodded.
"Mr. Nie, do you mean what you said at the beginning? I want to be an actor." Chen Qiaoen looked at Nie Wei expectantly and asked directly.
Nie Wei thought that this girl was really straightforward. She came to him just because of a promise she made, and she told him that she wanted to act as soon as they met. It seemed that there was no need for her to be tactful, which ordinary girls would have to do.
However, Nie Wei admired this straightforward character.
"Since I have promised, I will definitely fulfill it. But if you want me to film for you, you must sign a contract with Huayi. The contract period is six years, and the profit will be split 50-50." Nie Wei made a six gesture with one hand and a five gesture with the other hand, and told Chen Qiaoen on the other side his conditions, and his tone was very strong, giving Chen Qiaoen a feeling that it was not negotiable.
This contract was neither good nor bad, just ordinary, but what made Chen Qiaoen hesitate was whether she should agree to the six-year contract period.
Born in 1979, she is 28 years old this year. The next six years can be said to be her best time. If she signs this contract, it means that she will hand over the best development period in the future to Huayi, or to Nie Wei.
As for breach of contract?
The previous payment of liquidated damages has already made her bankrupt, and she feels that she really has no ability to breach the contract again.
"The conditions are like this, you can think about it and choose to sign or not." Seeing Chen Qiaoen's hesitation, Nie Wei once again said in a tone that could not be discussed.
Thank you for the generous reward of 0773, one of the few times in life that I am tired.
