Quick Transmigration: Even Extras Want to Be Leading Actresses

Chapter 93 The Road to Becoming a Movie Queen (2)

Yuan Jiang told the driver to pull over to the side of the road: "Chengzi, you can take a taxi home yourself."

"Huh?" Su Chengzi couldn't believe it. This bastard actually kicked her out of the car just because she had a smell on her.

"I'm sorry, you know I'm a bit of a germaphobe." Yuan Jiang not only let her get out of the car, but also sat in the passenger seat himself.

"You!" Su Chengzi was really angry this time, picked up her bag and turned to leave.

Yuan Jiang shrugged. Su Chengzi felt somewhat listless after losing Long Yuchen.

But after pursuing him for so long, I feel unwilling to give up on him.

However, none of that is the main point right now. On his way back, Yuan Jiang closed his eyes and pondered: How can he bring Gu Shijiu to his side?

Gu Shijiu was unaware that Yuan Jiang had come to win her over, and she gave several hundred yuan to the food stall owner.

"The cost of the food, the cost of the table, and the compensation for affecting your business."

Gu Shijiu wasn't just someone who collected compensation from others; she was very fair.

The food stall owner hesitated to accept the money, waving his hand and saying, "No need, no need, please take it back."

This place is too scary; he should find another place to set up his stall.

Gu Shijiu was unfamiliar with this kind of push-and-pull game and didn't know how to deal with it.

Without saying a word, she placed the money on the table, then casually threw Yuan Jiang's business card into the trash can before leaving with Wang Cuihua.

"Teacher Zhao, this business card?" It was another extra from the film studio who spoke.

"What's wrong?" Gu Shijiu didn't understand what the other person meant.

"Don't you want this business card anymore?" The extra really wanted to knock Gu Shijiu's head open.

This was a chance to sign with an entertainment company under the Yuan Group, and they just turned it down like that.

Everyone says that Zhao Jun is crazy; he has a powerful backer but only wants to be an extra.

Many people scoffed at it before, including the extras who were speaking, thinking that it was Zhao Jun who had released the news, but they didn't expect it to be true.

Gu Shijiu nodded: "No, I already threw it in the trash can."

It's strange. If you ask her if she still wants something that's in the trash can, would she throw it away if she did?

Wang Cuihua chuckled inwardly; she was already quite familiar with Gu Shijiu.

"Are you full? Let's go home." She tugged at Gu Shijiu's sleeve.

"Oh, I'm full." Gu Shijiu left following Wang Cuihua's lead.

"Why did you help me today?" Wang Cuihua's voice was very soft, almost inaudible.

"Aren't you my mom? Don't worry, I'll definitely help you." Gu Shijiu patted her chest loudly.

Wang Cuihua smiled softly and said nothing more.

The people at the food stall only saw the two figures walking further and further away until they disappeared into the sunset.

The extra who had spoken earlier took the business card out of the trash can and wrote down the phone number.

Others also wanted it, but they didn't expect someone to beat them to it. They surrounded the extra and were somewhat tempted.

The extras realized that these people wanted to snatch the business cards, and quickly came up with a clever idea: "Everyone, write down this number."

He clutched the business card tightly in his hand, gesturing for the people surrounding him to come and write it down.

"We only have one business card, and there are so many people here, we can't possibly distribute them all, but anyone can remember a phone number. Is this alright, everyone?"

When the onlookers saw that this person was offering to share his phone number, they were too embarrassed to force him to, so they all wrote down the string of numbers and then dispersed.

Su Chengzi, who was kicked off the bus, didn't dare to confront Yuan Jiang, so she blamed all her misfortunes on Gu Shijiu.

Since you've done this to me, and Yuan Jiang is also interested in you, then don't blame me for being impolite.

A flash of hatred crossed Su Chengzi's eyes.

A few months later, Gu Shijiu received a call from the group leader while she was resting.

"Mr. Zhao, I have a really good opportunity here. Would you like to consider it?"

Gu Shijiu perked up: "What opportunity?"

She's been getting a bit bored with being an extra lately and is looking to improve her skills.

Seeing her interest, the group leader quickly spoke through the receiver: "There is a reality show with big stars participating!"

We need a few amateurs now, are you interested?

The group leader silently prayed to himself: Please focus on becoming a good actor and absolutely refuse to appear on variety shows.

Unfortunately, Gu Shijiu couldn't hear his prayers; what she cared about was—"How much will you get paid?"

The group leader felt a chill run down his spine and turned to the person next to him, who handed him his phone.

"100,000 per episode, 10 episodes in total." The group leader read the message from the phone screen.

Gu Shijiu's eyes lit up. One hundred thousand! With her current income, that's a huge sum of money.

"Okay, okay, please send me the contract and related documents. Thank you, Brother Li." Gu Shijiu said politely.

Even through the screen, you could feel Gu Shijiu's joy.

Is this girl stupid? What kind of status does she have? People are paying such a high price to hire her, and she doesn't even have any doubts or ask any questions.

She's just an extra who isn't particularly good-looking, so why would a variety show cast her?

The fact that she gets to record the same variety show with a big star is obviously suspicious.

Little did the group leader know that Gu Shijiu's appearance fee used to be in the seven figures.

She had no idea what the group leader was thinking, nor had she received any hints from him, and she was calculating in her mind.

One episode costs 100,000, ten episodes would cost one million, why not record more episodes?

She needs to perform well so that the show will invite her back next season.

Gu Shijiu's thoughts started to wander again, lost in her own imagination. The group leader called her several times before she came back to her senses: "What did you say?"

"If you think this salary is acceptable, go to the program team's office in the ** Building tomorrow afternoon to sign the contract."

The group leader tried hard to hint, "Don't you understand? Even a dog with no brains would think there's something wrong with this salary."

Gu Shijiu then received the hint: "Does this mean we can have more?"

Group leader: Damn it, you're an idiot, you don't even have a dog's brain.

Out of a sense of duty, the group leader gave one last, weak reminder: "If you really want to answer, I'll send you the address later."

Gu Shijiu chuckled, "Of course I'll accept, it's just the service fee—"

Everyone knows that variety shows are the easiest way to make money, so why not take them?

The group leader just mentioned salary, so why is he not talking about it again?

"Hey, you're not trying to steal my money, are you?!"

Gu Shijiu's eyes widened. Some agents would do that.

The artist's market price is 100 million, but he quotes 200 million to the public. However, when it comes to cooperation, he only charges 100 million and asks the client for an additional 50.

The client saves 50 yuan, the agent earns an extra 50 yuan, and the only one who loses is the artist.

Anyway, most entertainment companies have messy accounts, and even the biggest financial black hole can be filled by investing in two movies.

The group leader almost choked on his breath: If this guy dies, it'll be from stupidity.

The knife pressed harder against his waist, and the group leader quickly denied it: "Teacher Zhao, how could that be? Then remember to go tomorrow."

"Okay, please send me your address and contact information quickly." Gu Shijiu said in a light voice.
