Transmigration of the Famous Cyberstar (1)

Chapter 19: Just a Friend

Qiu Jing was a person who really cared about details. The movies she invested on sometimes made the details on small characters much better than the main ones, and that had made several unrecognized actors popular.

The movie Tang Tu took part in during his freshman year had been invested on by Qiu Jing. He had also been picked out by Qiu Jing, and so Qiu Jing was, in a way, Tang Tu's biggest benefactor.

Liu Man was extremely interested. The money she made with live-streaming and selling shoes, summed up, hadn't even reached thirty-thousand RMB. If this week, her mother made an agreement with the Wang family, then they would definitely have to hand in three million. She really needed money.

It was probably Liu Man's eyes that revealed her desire for money. Qiu Jing smiled, "If you successfully get this character in the end, we will pay you fifty-thousand RMB. Do you accept this part-time job?"

Five minutes... Fifty-thousand RMB. This was a very munificent deal.

She would have to be a numskull to not accept the deal, "I do, I do." Liu Man nodded her head enthusiastically.

One of the things Qiu Jing really liked about Liu Man was how she never disguised herself. Those young teenage girls who had been brought in to see her had multiple layers of make-up on. Although their hearts were filled with greedy aspirations, they pretended to be ingenuous.

"This movie plans to start filming by the end of January. These five minutes of this character will not be filmed all at once, since it'll be cut up and placed in different parts of the film. We aren't sure when the director plans to film each part, so we need you to be available at all times during the entire winter holiday, and, of course, the spring festival."

This was not a problem for Liu Man. Her father was still held in custody, and they probably wouldn't be doing anything fun during this year's spring festival.

"I will be available at all times."

Qiu Jing nodded her head, "Friend me on WeChat later. Send me one of your casual photos with your whole body in it. It's for the director to see. My WeChat ID is the phone number listed on that business card."

"Alright."

"To be on the record, I cannot give you a hundred-percent guarantee that you will definitely get this character. I still need to get permission from the director and the other producers."

"Yeah, yeah. I understand," Liu Man didn't know a lot about the entertainment industry. However, she did know that no matter what era it was, benefits always tied closely with complex social connections. Take her father, the emperor, for example. Which woman of his did not have a background? Even her mother and aunt, the slaves who sang and danced, were brought up in the prince's palace, and then delivered to the emperor. That represented the power of the prince.

As expected, this girl was mature and knew a lot. Qiu Jing was even more satisfied. She patted Liu Man's shoulder, "Then, wait for my notice."

As she watched Qiu Jing leave, Liu Man felt a bit unpragmatic. In the memories of old Liu Man, she knew that the position actors had nowadays were different from the actors in her era, who were slaves. Successful actors were now public figures. Actors could be admired by everyone since they could be glorious and dazzling and sought after by fans. They could earn a lot of money and have state-of-the-art cars and mansions.

"Manman, "Li Xiaoru's lively shouts came to her from far away. Liu Man looked in her direction. She saw Li Xiaoru and Wang Nina walking side-by-side towards her, "What did that Professor Qiu want with you?"
