Chapter 401: Rongcheng's Best Stone Skipping Spot! A Twenty-Year Contract!
"I just want them to envy me, to feel pain in their hearts, to regret it!"
An Xinlei gritted her teeth, her body tensing up like a female leopard as she spoke with emotion.
"Mm!"
"Will you help me?"
An Xinlei looked at Su Yang and asked.
"If you work hard enough and let me see your value!" Su Yang didn't close off the possibility. "One lead role isn't enough, then two. I think you have that potential."
"Really?"
An Xinlei wasn't even sure of her own potential.
She was just unwilling to give up, unwilling to admit defeat!
"Of course!"
"Do I have potential?"
"You could be considered one of the most promising actors I've ever seen!" Su Yang said with a smile. "You have to trust my judgment; I rarely misjudge people."
Su Yang's gaze was firm, as if he truly believed in her.
This belief touched her inexplicably!
Even her family had never believed in her this much.
They had always expressed their incomprehension of the path she had chosen.
They had never held any expectations for her future!
The words they often said were, if you can't find a role, just come back and get married!
She had never confided these innermost thoughts to her closest friends either!
She was afraid of being ridiculed, ridiculed for overestimating herself!
But Su Yang had an indescribable charisma, and his words seemed to possess a calming magic, making it easy for people to drop their guard and involuntarily confide in him.
"Really?"
"Of course! I also started from scratch. Although the group was only established a few years ago, we've achieved some success!" Su Yang pulled An Xinlei into his arms, letting her sit on his lap, and looked into her somewhat sharp eyes, saying, "Even if you don't believe in yourself, you must believe in my judgment!"
"Don't you dare lie to me, if you do, I'll definitely make you regret it!"
"Mm!" Su Yang pinched An Xinlei's slightly baby-fat cheek. "Honestly, you look quite cute when you're fierce!"
An Xinlei pursed her lips slightly, slowly lowered her head, and dared not meet Su Yang's gaze.
Her shy demeanor suddenly made her seem adorable.
Then, Su Yang lifted her chin, and his handsome face magnified in her pupils... and magnified again!
She was a little nervous, a little flustered!
But when her lips were touched, she completely gave up resistance.
Then she quickly became intoxicated in Su Yang's skillful tenderness!
When Su Yang gently placed her on the bed covered with rose petals, she hugged Su Yang's head and said:
"I haven't..."
"Okay!"
Su Yang looked at the woman beneath him, feeling that she was as delicate as the red rose petals on the quilt.
Turning to her side, she inhaled the rich scent of rose petals, feeling even more intoxicated!
By the time An Xinlei woke up again, it was already noon the next day.
Su Yang had shown restraint yesterday.
Although she was a bit sore, it didn't affect her movement too much.
She saw her clothes neatly folded on one side, already washed, and put them on directly.
Pushing open the bedroom door and entering the hallway, she saw the maid cleaning the living room on the first floor of the villa.
The maid looked up, saw her, and respectfully asked, "Miss, are you looking for the boss?"
"Where did he go?"
"Today is Saturday, the boss isn't working. He's in the front yard!"
"Okay!"
"Would you like me to help you?"
"No need, I can walk!"
She wasn't that delicate!
Stepping out of the villa, she saw the beautiful garden.
Plum Blossoms were in full bloom in the garden, and a faint fragrance filled the air!
However, she had to admit, the life of the wealthy was truly good!
She knew that the housing prices here were at least hundreds of millions, and a celebrity she liked also had a house here!
She looked towards the lake in front of the villa and saw Su Yang's back.
Su Yang was standing by the dock... skipping stones!
He was indeed skipping stones, if she wasn't mistaken!
To be honest, at that moment, Su Yang somewhat shattered her idealized image of the wealthy lifestyle.
At the very least, he should be playing golf to be considered high-end, right?
Su Yang saw her come out and smiled, waving at her!
An Xinlei walked a few steps to his side and saw Su Yang pick up a stone from a box and forcefully throw it towards the surface of Lu Lake.
The stone cut across the lake like an arrow, then skipped continuously across the water, creating beautiful ripples that extended all the way to the end of the lake!
Seeing the beautiful ripples on the lake, An Xinlei's pupils widened involuntarily!
"I didn't expect you to play stone skipping? I thought only children played this!"
Su Yang picked up another stone, casually skipped a series of beautiful ripples, and then said with a smile, "Can I say that it's precisely because this is the most ideal stone skipping spot within Rongcheng city limits that I bought a house here?"
Rongcheng's best stone skipping spot?
So that's why he bought a house here?
Turning around to see An Xinlei's bewildered expression, Su Yang couldn't help but laugh, "I was just kidding... want to play together?"
He took a flat stone from the basket and handed it to An Xinlei, inviting her to play.
An Xinlei glanced at the stone; it was very clean and smooth, as if it had been processed and cleaned!
"Yes!"
She took the stone; it felt a little cold in her hand.
Su Yang put his arm around her waist, making her stand beside him: "Just stand here!"
"Mm!"
"Imagine your worries are in your hand, and throw with all your might!"
An Xinlei swung her arm forcefully, and with a "plop," the stone plunged directly into the water, splashing water everywhere.
She looked at Su Yang, feeling a little embarrassed...
"You're laughing at me!"
Her voice was soft and sweet, almost like she was acting spoiled.
"Hahaha... no!"
She picked up another stone, and Su Yang personally taught her the posture for skipping stones.
An Xinlei had played stone skipping before, but that was a very long time ago.
She threw the second stone, and this time it skipped four beautiful ripples across the lake.
She immediately became happy.
"Not bad!" Su Yang applauded from the side. "Great improvement!"
These stones were originally machine-processed, so the difficulty wasn't high!
But beginners need encouragement!
"Mm!"
An Xinlei proudly lifted her chin, then picked up another stone to play.
Soon, Su Yang also joined in!
Being somewhat unwilling to admit defeat, she challenged Su Yang, but she quickly gave up.
His wrist strength was somewhat abnormal; he could skip stones all the way to the island opposite!
But she still felt very happy, as if all her worries had been cast away.
When her wrist started to ache from throwing, Su Yang took her back to the villa, and they cuddled on the long sofa, lost in thought.
Nestled in Su Yang's arms, she felt incredibly secure and somewhat dependent.
All her previous resentment, unwillingness, and frustration... seemed to have vanished.
She secretly glanced at Su Yang, who was playing on his phone, and felt that she might never be able to escape him in this lifetime.
But he was indeed handsome...
Then An Xinlei stayed another night at Su Yang's place.
This time, she got a glimpse of Su Yang's 'strength'...
To be honest, Su Yang quite liked An Xinlei.
Especially her dazed and lost expression!
When she had no expression, she looked a bit sullen.
She was very aggressive, and a bit haughty, as if she didn't care about anyone in the world!
He couldn't help but want to teach her a good lesson, until she begged for mercy!
So, over the weekend, Su Yang kept her again...
On Monday, Su Yang personally brought her to Linyi Film and Television to sign an agency contract.
"Twenty years?"
An Xinlei took a deep breath as she looked at the contract, murmuring involuntarily.
She had thought Su Yang would be lenient with her!
But the contract was for twenty years!
Su Yang gently pointed to the contract which specified three supporting female roles, one leading female role in a 50 million film or TV series, and a monthly base salary of 10,000 yuan, saying, "This should be considered a very good treatment for a promising newcomer in the industry. Outside, there are plenty of people willing to sign!"
Business is business; Su Yang still respected money very much!
Since he was going to cultivate An Xinlei, he would definitely find a way to earn back the invested money, and even more.
If An Xinlei didn't meet his requirements and had no future, he wouldn't even touch her!
"Mm!"
An Xinlei nodded.
If she had gone to her senior brother's studio, she would have signed for fifteen years.
And the contract wouldn't promise any resources.
Some actors even signed for thirty-five years!
An Xinlei took a deep breath and signed her name on the contract.
Seeing An Xinlei sign her name, Su Yang was in a good mood: "Manager Lin, please take care of Xinlei from now on. I'm quite optimistic about her potential!"
An Xinlei had talent in acting and modeling.
With three-star acting talent, if she worked hard enough, she could at least become a powerful actress in the film and television industry!
Moreover, her facial features were precisely the type favored by the fashion industry, so she should be able to make a living from it.
It would be a pity not to develop her!
"Yes, Boss!"
Lin Yi guessed the relationship between Su Yang and An Xinlei, but she wasn't very concerned!
Her moral standards weren't very high either, as long as it didn't affect the company's operations.
Furthermore, An Xinlei's appearance and acting skills were indeed good and worth cultivating.
Her appearance and temperament also wouldn't clash too much with other contracted actors in the company!
Some say the plot is a bit cliché, and after thinking about the background story of the supporting actress, I do feel it's a bit... I will seriously plan in the future and strive to avoid clichés... As for being abrupt, this is actually a story about a film and television investor urgently wanting to 'cultivate' a new actress who is eager for fame. The main supporting actress in an 80 million investment film/TV series, with the backing of a large group and starring first and second-tier famous actresses, will almost always be 'cultivated' successfully unless they encounter someone with more money and power. As long as the actress gains some fame, a 'cultivation' and a representative work will broaden her future career path, with commercial performances earning tens or hundreds of thousands each time... 80 million divided into eighty 1 million, if the protagonist wants, it feels like he could create eighty very abrupt supporting actresses... *cough cough*
