Chapter 359: Situation
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The moment this thought appeared in Xu Xi’s mind, he could not get rid of it.
Xu Xi had been an extra for a long time. Although he had been promoted for almost two years, the gossip he had seen when he was an extra was still deeply engraved in his mind.
He could still tell some of the situations in the industry.
He knew very well what could happen for a celebrity to really start to decline in popularity.
It was nothing more than having a stain on their name that could not be cleared, or they did not have a backer or connections. Once such a celebrity failed, they would never be able to make a comeback.
To be honest, his little stain in the entertainment industry was not a stain that could kill his career. As long as he had enough resources in the future, he could also rise again.
However, he didn’t have any backing now, and his foundation wasn’t deep enough. Now, even large numbers of his fans were unfollowing him.
The reason why Huang Tu valued him and gave him resources was because they wanted to deal a blow to Star Brilliance through him so that Star Brilliance would not be able to recover.
He was just a pawn in Huang Tu’s hands to deal with Star Brilliance. Once a pawn like him was useless… then his outcome could be imagined.
Huang Tu might not be able to bear to part with him for the time being, but in the future… that might not be the case.
Xu Xi leaned back on the sofa dejectedly, his eyes lifeless.
If only… If only he had enough die-hard fans. As long as he had enough die-hard fans, his fans could prove from all angles that he had terminated his contract with Star Brilliance Entertainment as a normal business cooperation or for the sake of his future.
And not what, treachery.
At this thought, a trace of hatred flashed across Xu Xi’s eyes.
If it weren’t for that Strawberry Jam, he wouldn’t have encountered such a large number of fans leaving him! His fans had all been bewitched by Strawberry Jam, so they chose to leave!
Once Xu Xi thought of what might happen to him in the future, he became even more resentful of Strawberry Jam and Star Brilliance.
When the manager returned and saw Xu Xi like this, he also felt a little upset.
He originally thought that Xu Xi would be a gold ingot, but now, he was probably useless.
“Don’t be anxious. I’ll discuss with the company again. The company will take action.” The manager comforted Xu Xi.
After all, he had not fallen out with Xu Xi yet. Xu Xi was the only acceptable artiste under him. He could not really leave Xu Xi alone.
Hearing the manager’s words, a glint flashed across Xu Xi’s eyes. He looked at the manager like a drowning person who had seen a life-saving straw.
“Previously, you said that you would look for fake reviewers. What was the outcome?”
He no longer dared to read the comments online himself. Whenever he saw the comments online, he would imagine what would happen to him in the future. This was really too terrifying for him.
When the manager heard this, a trace of darkness flashed across his eyes. When he faced Xu Xi, he did not say anything.
“Let’s wait and see. There should be a chance to turn things around. It’s not like you didn’t receive any unfair treatment at all when you were at Star Brilliance. Previously, most of the resources of Star Brilliance were on Yang Jia and He Shi, and they didn’t think much of you either. From this aspect, there might be a chance to turn the tables.”
As the manager spoke, a trace of coldness flashed across his eyes.
To outsiders, this was indeed true.
At that time, Star Brilliance had signed Lu Mo and the other three at once. To say nothing of the three female celebrities, just with regards to Yang Jia and the other two, Yang Jia was a male lead in his second production, and it was a male-oriented production at that. Even He Shi was the second male lead in his third drama, and his character setting was not bad.
On the other hand, after Xu Xi played two to three supporting roles, he finally had a script for the second male lead. However, after that, Xu Xi’s resources fell back to the third male lead and fourth male lead.
Compared to Yang Jia and He Shi, Xu Xi’s resources were indeed not very good.
When Xu Xi heard this, his eyes flickered. He did not say anything and only hummed softly.
He knew what his agent meant by his lack of resources. He also knew that the responsibility for this matter was not on Star Brilliance. However, he really did not want to give up just like that and return to his previous days as an extra, so he tacitly agreed to his agent’s plan.
“Then I’ll leave it to you.” There was a hint of sincerity in Xu Xi’s voice.
The manager looked at Xu Xi strangely, as if he did not know why the other party’s personality had suddenly changed.
However, he was naturally more satisfied with this Xu Xi.
He nodded. “Don’t worry. I’ll try to make arrangements..”
