New Challenge (Part 2)

  Mei Yu's face turned black, she bit her lip tightly, if not, she couldn't keep silent, and bursting into a loud scolding wasn't the result she wanted.

  The other party finally lost interest in teasing her, smiled slightly and said faintly: "Alright, there's a mineral water advertisement recently that is holding a city-wide audition. If you can get that advertisement, I'll sign with you."

  Perhaps knowing Mei Yu's thoughts, Li Ronghua jokingly explained: "As far as I know, that advertisement is completely public, no behind-the-scenes operations, let me see your strength, Dong Nu Lang ~"

  The last sentence his voice sank, ambiguous as if the lover's whisper, the three words "Winter Girl" made Mei Yu's anger rise to its peak, she calmed down instead, and began to haggle unceremoniously: "Your meaning is that, as long as I get that advertisement, you will definitely sign a contract with me, so, is it a Silver Contract or a Bronze Contract?"

  This sentence made Li Ronghua sit up in bed, the black silk quilt slid down from his body, revealing his abdominal muscles, bronze skin and white sheets underneath, contrasting strongly, emitting a seductive aroma.

  A hint of interest appeared on his lazy face, this girl is not simple at all, she even knows the nature of the contract. The contracts signed by Rong Guang Agency and its artists are divided into three types: bronze, silver, and gold. As the name suggests, with the increasing preciousness of the three metals, the artist's degree of freedom also increases.

  The first type of bronze contract is a ten-year long contract, where the actor basically sells himself to the brokerage company, and is not allowed to take on private work, is not allowed to take leave at will, is not allowed to fall in love, etc.

  The contract with Silver is only for five years, and the actor has a lot of freedom. As long as they guarantee to shoot a certain number of films and TV dramas each year, they can arrange their own schedule for the rest of the time.

  The last type of gold contract, more symbolic in nature, is limited in number and typically involves collaboration with internationally renowned film stars. Under this arrangement, the company's scripts are given priority consideration when it is convenient for the other party, and the company's entertainment resources can be called upon within a certain scope. Essentially, this contract is entirely inclined towards the actor.

  That's just the difference in fame between two actors.

  Mei Yu was well aware of her own worth, and Li Ronghua would never be able to sign a golden contract with her. In fact, as an unknown small-time actress, she was already incredibly lucky to have signed a bronze contract with the prestigious Glory Agency.

  She didn't have any other ideas, but Li Ronghua gave her a difficult problem to solve. Moreover, his ambiguous tone earlier had really infuriated Mei Yu. So she decided to take a gamble, thinking that since Li Ronghua seemed like an unconventional person, he would probably enjoy accepting challenges.

  Li Ronghua indeed took an interest in Mei Yu's question, his mouth curled up, revealing two sharp tiger teeth, like a vampire's fangs, silent and stealthy, yet hiding a deadly intent: "It seems you have ideas, so here's the deal, if you can get this advertising endorsement, I'll make an exception and sign a white silver contract with you."

  Mei Yu's eyes sparkled with spirit as she replied loudly and clearly: "Alright, it's settled then."

  After finishing speaking, Mei Yu hung up the phone. For a gentleman, one must maintain politeness, but for a villain, one should fiercely show their fangs, only then can they be kept at a safe distance.

  Mei Yu hung up the phone, only to remember that she hadn't asked Li Ronghua which company's mineral water advertisement it was. She unconsciously bit her lower lip and handed over the money to the convenience store owner. As she looked up, she saw a large poster behind the owner, featuring a girl wearing sports shorts and a tank top holding up a bottle of mineral water high in the air, with big letters below: Jinli Beverage, City-wide Selection!

  Plum rain was overjoyed, took back the change found by the boss, and pointed at the poster asking: "Master, what does this mean?"

  The boss's hair was white, wearing glasses, and when he heard this, he turned his head to take a look. He shook his head afterwards and said disapprovingly: "This is a new drink, their promoters came here to post an ad, saying they're going to hold a city-wide selection, and it's also in conjunction with some TV show... my wife has been fighting me for the remote control every night..."

  Plum Rain was amused by his indignant look and laughed: "So that means this sea election has already begun?"

  The boss glanced at Mei Yu and smiled: "It seems that the registration deadline is in these days, and the first round of competition has already begun. How about it, miss? Are you interested in participating?"

  Mei Yu smiled and shook her head, having already secretly memorized the registration phone number and address on the poster. She thanked the convenience store owner and stepped out of the store.

  As soon as she stepped out, the dazzling sunlight made her eyes flutter for a moment. Mei Yu squinted and deliberated for a while before deciding to head directly to the registration venue. There were many competitions, and on the surface, there were multiple ways to register; in reality, however, on-site registration was the most recognized and least prone to errors.

  That registration location seemed somewhat familiar to Mei Yu. After thinking for a moment, she immediately remembered it was the same place where she had auditioned for a TV series last time. It appeared to be an investment company after all.

  Mei Yu's eyebrows immediately furrowed, this was a very unfavorable start for her. Generally speaking, if an actor is rejected once in a crew, it will leave the impression that the actor is not good enough.

  But her boastful words had already been spoken, and in any case, Mei Yu didn't want to admit defeat in front of Li Ronghua. This endorsement was something she had to get.

  Plum rain made up her mind, and without hesitation, she got on the bus. Today happened to be a weekend, and there were many people on the bus. She grasped the handrail and stood firmly with her feet.

  As the bus jolted along, she quickly got into work mode and started thinking about the information at hand. The fact that this advertisement model was being recruited in every convenience store she walked into showed that this investment company was wealthy and confident in its own beverage products, which is why it would adopt such a transparent advertising strategy.

  At the same time, it can be imagined that many girls will come to sign up for this advertising model's sea election activity.

  Plum rain grasped the hand of the hanger, unknowingly exerting strength, she was very clear about her own advantages, a classical face, paired with the action experience of being a martial arts actress in the past, can interpret the dynamic and atmospheric girl's effect, only, this is still not enough to guarantee that she can stand out from among thousands of girls.

  The thoughts of the plum rain drifted away, who is the director of this sports drink? If you know this point, you can treat the symptoms, many directors have their own unique preferences, such as a famous director likes to use melon-faced beauties, and almost all the female leads in his movies are of one type.

  It's still not enough, and the information she has is far from sufficient. Meiyu quickly came to a conclusion.
