Has Big Shot Fallen in Love Today?-Chapter 794: Do You Want to Break the Contract?

Just one more day and "Who’s Afraid of the Workplace?" will go off-screen.

The current box office has surpassed 2 billion.

This female-centric film has broken the highest box office record for female-oriented movies and entered the top five in the annual total box office this year.

As the film gained popularity, Sheng Tang’s fame has also skyrocketed.

Similar fashion films, workplace films, and female-oriented romance films are offering olive branches, with sixty percent inviting her to star directly, rather than to audition.

Trend-following has always been very common.

Guanghong Media’s investment of fifty million was not Gu Jiahui’s decision, but the decision of the company’s venture capital department.

A female-oriented romance drama, investing fifty million, practically considered a solo investment.

"The company made this decision, firstly because this project is adapted from a bestseller, with a huge fan base.

Secondly, the director Huang Ying is a leading figure among female film directors. Her movies are very profitable, such as "Green and I" and "First Love’s Candy" in the past few years, both of which had good box office results.

Thirdly, Fu Qingcen really wants to act. She hasn’t received any TV drama scripts that excite her recently, and she’s reluctant to do variety shows, so she wants to try the film industry.

Being a queen of TV dramas, her transition to films would naturally start with a romance drama." Gu Jiahui analyzed the company’s decision to Sheng Tang.

Sheng Tang listened intently.

"...and most importantly, the company has you. You perform exceptionally well in this type of film and have box office appeal," Gu Jiahui said. "With your involvement, the company won’t lose money."

Sheng Tang didn’t feel any repulsion.

She is a company artist and should do whatever serves the company’s interests.

Her debut in "Climbing the Heights" was an investment by Gu Jiahui; her rise to fame in "Invincible Life" was also funded by the company, granting her the opportunity to audition.

The company is not a charity.

Though they take the majority of Sheng Tang’s earnings, it’s stipulated in the contract.

Now that Sheng Tang is famous, with only three years left in her contract, it’s logical for the company to profit from her.

This time, the company’s objectives are clear: one, to support Fu Qingcen’s transition to film; two, to make money.

Sheng Tang is the trump card for this project.

She leaned on the table, looking at Gu Jiahui: "What do you think? Not about this movie, but about me."

Gu Jiahui: "..."

"Do you want me to act, boss?" Sheng Tang asked him, "You know, I’m on the rise now, and this role overlaps with ’Who’s Afraid of the Workplace?’ I might be typecast, making it hard to develop further in the future."

Gu Jiahui’s expression shifted slightly.

Sheng Tang leaned forward a bit: "Honestly, I really don’t want to act. But I know you signed me initially to support Fu Qingcen.

Now, it’s time for me to fulfill that promise. This is very detrimental to my personal growth. Do you want me to make such a sacrifice?"

Gu Jiahui remained silent.

Sheng Tang sat upright again, her voice returning to normal: "I don’t really want to act. The relationship between the company and me is a partnership, and it’s the same with you.

For this matter, I’ll have Brother Fei protest. He’s my agent, and he should protect my interests. If that doesn’t work..."

She paused dramatically for a long time.

Gu Jiahui’s gaze was like lightning, piercing towards her: "If it doesn’t work, then what? Are you going to terminate the contract?"
