While Ji Yuanhai and Wen Xiaoli were talking, Gong Lin in the room had already politely replied to Wen Qiong.

"Miss Wen, I already understand your situation. The specific decision on the casting is not just my own. There are many other aspects to consider. The specific casting will be announced by our New Star Film and Television Company tomorrow."

"Or you can leave your phone number. If it is finally adopted, our company will call you to inform you."

After hearing this, Wen Qiong actually had an idea in her mind.

If it cannot be decided on the spot, it will be difficult to follow up.

However, holding on to a glimmer of hope and possibility, Wen Qiong left her phone number.

Then he saw his sister holding Sissi at the door and talking to a young man who looked to be about 26 or 27 years old.

Gong Lin also noticed the movement at the door, looked at it in confusion, and stood up.

"Yuan Hai, what's going on?"

Ji Yuanhai said: "Nothing much, just had a chat with this person."

Gong Lin looked at Wen Xiaoli, then at Wen Qiong, and smiled: "Are you here to apply for an acting position as well? Wait a moment, both of you."

Wen Xiaoli quickly explained: "I'm not..."

Gong Lin did not answer this, but just said to Ji Yuanhai: "Come with me."

The two walked into another office.

Wen Qiong and Wen Xiaoli looked at each other.

"What should we do? Should we just leave?"

"Since we're here now, just wait a while."

The two sat together, coaxing the child and chatting.

Wen Qiong said, "You and your brother-in-law are the same. You are busy with work all day long. You are still busy with your own things and never come home."

"It was fine if you didn't have a child before, but now that you're so old and finally have a child, why is it still like this?"

Wen Xiaoli shook her head slightly: "Who should I ask about this kind of thing?"

"He has his career, and I have mine. We both believe we can achieve great results in our respective fields, so neither of us has thought about sacrificing too much for the family."

"Including this child, I didn't really want him at first, but when she appeared——"

A maternal glow appeared on Wen Xiaoli's face as she looked down at her daughter as if she was her entire world.

"I suddenly realized that my life was already complete. From now on, everything else I had to give way to this child; including my family and my dance career..."

Wen Qiong was a little bit unbelievable: "Sister, you really make me almost not recognize you. Before, even after you got married, you were still ambitious and determined to achieve something and gain some status."

"Now that you have Sissi, everything has changed in an instant. You don't even want to stick to your own dreams anymore."

Wen Xiaoli laughed: "You haven't given birth to a child, so of course you don't understand. The feeling of being connected by blood, the wonderful feeling of giving birth to a life from your belly, is something that can never be described in words."

"Is the cost of getting married and having children so high? I don't want to do that!" Wen Qiong said, "I just want to become famous in acting and be successful in my career."

"What will you do after you succeed in your career?" Wen Xiaoli asked with a smile, "Go back to our hometown and get married?"

"Of course not. I work for the Southern Film Company and have been paying attention to the development outside. I plan to go to Bauhinia to act in movies and TV series and become a famous star in the whole country and the world." Wen Qiong said, "Do you know how powerful the stars over there are? Not only in their local area and the mainland, but also in East Asia and Southeast Asia, they have admirers all over the country. Some even go to America to act in movies."

Wen Xiaoli smiled and said, "He went to America. I know someone who went to America. Didn't Gong Xue, who was as famous as Gong Lin, go to America two years ago?"

Wen Qiong said: "That was too unfair. He was forced to leave because of rumors. He never made any more movies after he went to America... He was only 32 years old, and he just retired from the entertainment industry."

"Anyway, if I were her, after having such an acting career, I would definitely not quit. I will definitely not quit. Since I have become a star in the sky, let the people below say whatever they want!"

At this point, she became depressed again: "But my current acting career has really not made any progress. If I quit, I will be unknown. If I don't quit, I will still be unknown. It's different from other big stars like them."

She also summarized some of her own acting experiences.

While the film industry in the north is still trying to use old-school actors and old-school performance styles, the film industry in the south has been learning from the Bauhinia side in all aspects, and then it is inevitable that there will be some incongruous and unaccustomed situations.

Her main advantage is her beauty. Apart from that, she did not have the solid basic skills required in the North. She tried her best to follow the modern fashion in the South, but after all, she is not the Bauhinia flower in the South. She is just learning from the Bauhinia flower.

This is also the reason why Wen Qiong is depressed. She feels that if she goes to Bauhinia and receives comprehensive training in movies and TV dramas there, she may develop better than now, and maybe she will become famous overnight and become a big star.

But she also knew that if she went to Bauhinia, she would be an outsider, and she would be discriminated against. Anything could happen to her. I heard that in the past, when filming a movie, even the most famous star in the mainland went there, and the money he earned as the leading actor was not as much as that of a local extra, not to mention the main character or supporting role...

In the office, Gong Lin didn't say much, but just asked Ji Yuanhai: "Do you want to give them two roles?"

Ji Yuanhai nodded: "I don't think there are many such beautiful ones. Maybe I can cultivate her in the future. I might as well give her to her."

Then he asked Gong Lin: "It seems that Wen Xiaoli doesn't plan to act, so you're still going to give her a role?"

This family is pretty enough, and with a little polish, I feel they still have something to recommend them. Just like the little fairy in later generations, who was said to have no acting skills, but became famous just by relying on her face.

If Xinxing Film and Television Company can cultivate one or two pillars like this, I think it will no longer have to lose money in the future.

In addition, with Hua Fusheng’s business connections and Tianhe Company’s current business relationships, it is possible that Xinxing Film and Television Company’s film and television works will be broadcast in Bauhinia, the island country and other regions in the future.

But when it comes to real benefits, expecting this film and television company to make money is actually

"Well, just ask. If you are willing to come and act, then you can. If you don't want to, forget it. It's an unimportant supporting role anyway, and the requirements for acting skills are not high." Gong Lin said.

After the two finished their discussion, they walked out of the office.

Seeing that the sisters Wen Xiaoli and Wen Qiong were still waiting, Gong Lin walked over and said, "Ms. Wen Qiong, I just thought about it. The heroine role you came here to try doesn't seem to be a good match for you. Are you interested in trying a supporting role?"

"If you're willing to try, your role can be decided today."

Wen Qiong was surprised, then thought about it and nodded: "I am willing to play a supporting role."

"By the way, I belong to the Southern Film Studio. The remuneration for appearing in your company's films should be paid through the official account, right?"

Gong Lin smiled and said, "This is your personal choice. You can use the company account or your personal account. Our company is only responsible for paying you. The specific requirements are up to you to decide."

"If you feel it is inconvenient, you can also resign from the Southern Film Studio and join our New Star Film Company, becoming the second batch of personnel transferred from the film studio."

After hearing the first two sentences, Wen Qiong just smiled - she was still relatively rule-abiding. If she didn't work at the film studio anymore, or if she did, she would follow the work rules. Hiding money secretly was too pathetic.

After hearing the last two sentences, Wen Qiong's heart was suddenly moved.

Transferring from the film studio to Xinxing Film and Television Company? This is quite a temptation!

Firstly, Gong Lin, a nationally renowned superstar, is the headlining figure, which represents sufficient credibility; secondly, outsiders do not understand the welfare benefits of Xinxing Film and Television Company, the two office addresses in Beijing and Heshan Province, and the abundant financial resources, but Wen Qiong, as an actor in the film studio, knows them very well.

Some of their colleagues sat together and chatted, and they mentioned more than once that mainland films have many restrictions, are lifeless, have low salaries and are short of money.

I really don’t know much about Europe and the United States which are too far away, but Bauhinia and the others can talk about them very well, and the next best thing is the domestic Xinxing Film and Television Company.

They highlighted someone who was rich, willing to invest, and offered good treatment. Some old animation masters were invited to work and were given high salaries. They were busy drawing animations and training apprentices, and they were very happy.

New Star Films Company, are you willing to let me join?

After hesitating for a moment, Wen Qiong quickly made a decision - she had long been fed up with the old operating model, which had no hope or future development. Of course, she would choose Xinxing Film and Television Company, which had more money to make movies and offered better treatment.

"Teacher Gong, I would like to join your Xinxing Film and Television Company and play a supporting role in the movie." Wen Qiong said.

Gong Lin nodded slightly: "That's convenient. When you resign, you can officially join the company and sign the contract."

Wen Qiong nodded.

Wen Xiaoli asked, "What will her salary be like in the future?"

"The pay for the role played is calculated separately, and the company's basic salary is currently set at 300 yuan." Gong Lin said.

Three hundred bucks? Not bad.

Wen Qiong and Wen Xiaoli both thought so.

Their family's living conditions are not bad, so they don't feel that the salary is very high.

Besides, the salary is not really that high.

It is now 1988. This year, the annual income of farmers has reached 500 to 600 yuan, and the annual income of urban residents is 1,000 to 2,000 yuan, with an average monthly salary of more than 100 yuan. The "ten thousand yuan households" that everyone talks about are emerging in every town, and there are more and more of them. They have become neighbors that many people can come into contact with.

Then, Gong Lin looked at Wen Xiaoli again and said, "And Miss Wen, would you like to join our New Star Film and Television Company and play a role?"
