Quick Wear: She Whose Negative System Is Broken
Chapter 18: Entertainment Industry Talent Show: Escape
If Yu Tang had not come in time, Chi Xi would have been carried away by that greasy man as before. One can imagine how devastated Chi Xi would be when she woke up the next day.
At this time, the agent had already taken the video of the greasy man holding her unconsciously and going into a hotel to book a room. He had negotiated the investment with the greasy man and excitedly put the investment contract in front of Chi Xi.
Chi Xi tore the contract into pieces like a madman, and foolishly shouted that he would call the police.
When her agent and the company's boss tried all kinds of threats and inducements but failed, they took her cell phone, locked her up in the company, and cut off all contact with the outside world.
She told her parents that Chi Xi had taken on a TV series that was filmed behind closed doors.
The company couldn't do anything about her, so they called in that disgusting investor. Seeing that she refused to give in, both parties made up their minds and made her addicted to drugs.
Two months later, Chi Xi was found dead in a rental house from a drug overdose.
When her agency was investigated, they stated that they had terminated the contract and were unaware of the matter, and they removed the label cleanly, leaving only Chi Xi covered in dirt.
Chi Xi was just a minor celebrity on the 38th tier. Her death did not cause any waves except for occupying the headlines for a while and making passers-by sigh about the chaos and decadence of the entertainment industry.
Her parents refused to believe that Chi Xi would do such a thing. They were the only ones who believed that there must be something hidden behind Chi Xi's death. However, they had no way to find out anything and finally died of depression.
The agency eventually went bankrupt, and the boss used the video to extort more than 10 million yuan from the investor and ran away.
The investor felt a little worried after this incident and from then on he stayed at home with his wife.
He occasionally had extramarital affairs with a few young stars who threw themselves at him, and generously invested in several TV series and movies.
There were gains and losses, and he also made a female star famous. With the endorsement of a popular female star, his reputation in the circle improved.
Chi Xi's wish is to take revenge on these scumbags and become a good actor, so that her parents can be proud of her and enjoy their old age.
Yu Tang sighed for a while, looked through it twice, and asked the system, "Is there no information about the heroine?"
"There is no heroine mission in this world. The current heroine of this world, Ye Shouyi, is already a triple-A movie queen in the entertainment industry."
"Huh? Didn't they say that the world's quests only revolve around the heroine?"
"There is no such saying. There are two parties that send tasks to the system space: individuals and the world."
"Individuals are like Liang Le and Chi Xi. Of course, Liang Le is a little bit special."
"The difficulty of the task is determined by the intensity of the projected emotions. The lowest level also gives the least reward, and the most is just one person's entire soul and the source of the world around it."
"As for the world, only a small part of the world with consciousness will be assigned a mission, or there are worlds that have been disrupted by space stowaways and must be interfered with."
"For tasks related to the world, if the level is higher, the system space will grab some of the world's origin as a reward. This kind of task used to require snatching."
"what about now."
"Randomly assigning according to difficulty guarantees fairness and justice to a certain extent."
"There is one thing I need to remind the host during the mission. The protagonist is related to the origin of the world. When doing the mission, do not maliciously target or frame the protagonist, as it is easy to get yourself into trouble."
"Backlash? I don't have the time to provoke others, but what if the protagonist maliciously targets me and I can't fight back?"
"What if I'm maliciously targeted by the protagonist? I can't fight back?"
"This situation generally won't happen." The system was silent for two seconds. "If it does happen, this system can apply to the space to release the permission."
"Host, rest assured, the system will protect the host's physical and mental health, and safeguard human rights, freedom, and personal dignity."
It sounded much better than the crappy companies she had worked for before, and it made her feel warm inside.
After receiving this information, Yu Tang came to his senses and said, "Hey, system, I find that you are humane."
The system remained silent, it chose to play dead.
"Don't be silent, have you been upgraded or something? At least tell me the truth. After all, we have such a close relationship, right?"
"If the host doesn't leave the bathroom, Chi Xi's agent will rush in and arrest you."
"Oh, I forgot." She rested in the bathroom for a while. She felt comfortable but forgot that there was a problem to be solved outside.
Chi Xi's agent is Qiu Shiji, and everyone in the company calls him Brother Qiu.
In addition to Chi Xi, he also has several small internet celebrities under his command, but they have all had plastic surgery on their faces to varying degrees, and they are not the same person in front of and behind the camera.
It’s okay to start a live broadcast, but if you go out in person, you will lose fans and be criticized.
Therefore, Qiu Shiji valued Chi Xi the most and wanted to sell Chi Xi for a good price.
Qiu Shiji is ambitious. He wants to become the agent of popular artists. When he saw Chi Xi for the first time, he felt that Chi Xi had the potential.
It's a pity that the company is not strong enough, there is no money and no connections. What can I do? The only thing I can rely on is Chi Xi's beauty.
This is what he thought. If Chi Xi sacrificed a little now, and became famous, she would be able to choose the scripts and directors at will. She would also be able to refuse those unspoken rules and could still live a clean life.
What’s wrong with the muddy road ahead, or with using unspoken rules to get ahead, as long as you successfully step onto the Avenue of Stars, that’s enough. After a long time, the unbearable past will be forgotten.
He was thinking about beauty, but Chi Xi was a decent person. She didn't want to sacrifice herself to become famous by those disgusting and despicable means. She wanted to rely on herself.
Chi Xi told Qiu Shiji what was in her heart, but Qiu Shiji just thought she was childish.
Yu Tang was thinking about Chi Xi's current predicament. She had just signed a contract with Xingbei Entertainment Company for half a year. When she first signed the contract, she was in a five-year contract. There were still four and a half years left, and the penalty for breach of contract was more than 10 million yuan.
In the entertainment industry, this 10 million is not a lot. After all, the investment in many movies and TV shows is often 100 or 200 million.
But Chi Xi's family could only be considered well-off. His father, Chi Wenyan, was a university history professor and received a fixed salary every month.
Mother Jiang Jin used to be an editor at a publishing house. After giving birth to Chi Xi, she became a full-time housewife at home, occasionally taking on some commissioned work.
The Chi family couldn't come up with more than 10 million even if they spent all their money.
She had to find a way to resolve the contract. However, the most urgent thing at this stage was how to face Qiu Shiji and the CEO of Xingbei.
She failed to sell Chi Xi today, and she would probably have to take cunning action later. There was no point for her to be on guard against thieves every day. She had to think of a way to prevent Xingbei and her agent from controlling her recently.
Yu Tang read over and over the events in the entertainment industry during the period when Chi Xi was in trouble, and fixed his attention on the talent show that would be a big hit in five months. According to the date, it should still be selecting people now.
The talent show is called [Melody of the Stars: Road to the Top Idol] and will be broadcast by Durian Video, one of the three major video websites in China.
The program was just a test run at the beginning. Although it was broadcast on Durian Video, the production team was outsourced. So far, the mentors have not been announced, and only two investors have been attracted so far.
Basically no one was optimistic about this show, but it became a hit five months after it was aired.
Yu Tang opened his phone and found the Star Road promotional page on the official website. He edited Chi Xi's situation according to the requirements, selected a few nice selfies and photos, and packaged them and sent them to the production team's email address.
If selected, the next step is to figure out how to convince the CEO of Xingbei.
Yu Tang was thinking intently when the bathroom door was knocked several times, and then a male voice was heard.
"Xiao Xi, Xiao Xi, are you okay?"
