Chapter 931 - 929: Complete Trust and Letting Go
After Nuonuo won the best newcomer award, various variety shows, interviews, endorsement invitations, and film contracts came flooding in like a swarm of paper.Tian Fang, as her agent, remained passive as usual, sifting through the pile to pick a handful of good contracts and present them to Mr. Ji.
Mr. Ji usually reviewed those contracts carefully, but this time, instead of withholding them like before, he shoved them towards Tian Fang and said, "Let Nuonuo choose from these herself."
Tian Fang incredulously stared at the man in front of her!
Her line of work had exposed her to countless men, and Mr. Ji was undeniably the one among them who exerted the strongest possessiveness and control over his girlfriend, without exception.
Since Nuonuo debuted just a year ago, Mr. Ji had discreetly rejected numerous invitations and film offers, unbeknownst to Nuonuo.
That naive girl only seemed to understand working and endlessly attending all sorts of training workshops.
"Excessive exposure and overconsumption are of no benefit to her at all." That was Mr. Ji’s reason for turning down those offers.
While the rationale did appear proper, Tian Fang suspected Mr. Ji’s personal motives played a larger role in his decisions.
But this time, instead of just reviewing, Da Bao handed over the final decision-making to Nuonuo entirely.
This puzzled Tian Fang. Since she usually shared a decent rapport with Da Bao, she bravely teased him.
"Aren’t you afraid Nuonuo, that silly girl, might make foolish choices or be deceived?"
Da Bao wasn’t bothered by her playful remarks and seriously replied, "I trust her."
One word, trust, was enough to illustrate Da Bao’s current attitude of complete faith and freedom towards Nuonuo.
Tian Fang then got serious too, "Actually, Nuonuo is far superior to her peers. However, under your and Little Treasure’s limelight, she gets unfavorably compared. I’ve managed at least twenty artists, and Nuonuo might not be the most talented or gifted, but she’s definitely the most hardworking and goal-oriented!"
When Tian Fang first began working with this young girl, watching her propel forward with all her might, she assumed it was just a bout of impulsive zeal.
A year had gone by, and the girl’s enthusiasm remained unwavering. In fact, ever since winning the best newcomer award, the young girl was even busier, yet appeared more energized as if she had boundless energy.
"From the moment she decided to enter the entertainment industry, she had a clear goal." No one understood Nuonuo’s thoughts better than Da Bao.
"Yesterday, as she joined the crew, she told me to help her pick a good script; her next target is for best actress. Da Bao, do you know, when she said that, I nearly cried. I’m incredibly fortunate that the first film my newcomer landed won her the best newcomer award. If her next film truly goes as planned and she wins the best actress, then I’m a gold medal agent, for sure."
Da Bao chuckled at her, then extended his hand to pat her shoulder, "Then rest easy; wait to become a gold medal agent!"
Da Bao had immense confidence in Nuonuo’s present path.
"However, her pay for Mr. Luo’s film is genuinely lower, not only for her having just won the best newcomer award but even compared to her usual rate, it’s too low."
This film starring alongside Luo Qingru was ultimately Nuonuo’s choice, and as for the pay, it was entirely up to Luo Qingru.
Regarding payment, Da Bao didn’t prioritize it much; he understood why Nuonuo chose to decline other offers in favor of this film.
"You should be prepared, Fangfang. From now on, if Director Sun or Mr. Luo asks Nuonuo to take part in their films, the pay won’t be high. Because she values the space and opportunities they provide for her growth, it’s also a form of repaying their guidance."
This gratitude-driven Nuonuo was equally admirable in Da Bao’s eyes. Therefore, when Nuonuo expressed her intention to take on this current film, he didn’t mention a word about low pay. He even hinted that if Luo Qingru’s side lacked adequate funding, he might consider investing.
Tian Fang felt that this brother-sister duo was still too opinionated and insightful, and her workload as their agent was not overly strenuous.
The funding must be extremely tight, as the film’s shooting schedule was very intense; Nuonuo had stayed on the set past eight on two consecutive nights.
Those past nights, Da Bao had personally picked her up, while Tian Fang as a close-hand agent was responsible for Nuonuo’s work matters.
"Well, pass these to her later; I won’t head to the set. I need to return to the company to check on the progress of those few monkeys."
Tong Ke and Gao Xing’s duo were currently recording their first album. Among the twelve songs on the album, five were composed by Si Han, and the lyrics were crafted by the industry’s top lyricist and gold medal record producer, Jiahao.
After completing his work, Da Bao was already past seven. In the elevator, he encountered Little Treasure, asked if the young master wanted to join him to pick up Nuonuo, Little Treasure sneered, "No!"
Da Bao teased him, "Then you’ll take a cab home yourself? At this hour, catching a taxi is tough."
Little Treasure, having not yet reached the age to take a driving test, usually commuted either with the Le Tong couple or together with Da Bao. Since the Le Tong couple was out on business today, it left Little Treasure on his own.
"No matter how hard it is, I refuse to be the third wheel." The young master declared confidently.
Da Bao burst out laughing, "You talk as if you’re usually discreet and never the third wheel."
Little Treasure lowered his head, glanced at his toes, before raising his eyelids to sweep a gaze at his brother.
"That was before! Don’t you know? These days when you and Sister are together, pink bubbles keep floating up, even making my toes cramp as a single dog."
Particularly since the night Sister won the best newcomer award and flew to Cao City, returning the next day, the atmosphere between them completely shifted. Whenever they’re around, the air is filled with sweet vibes.
"I reckon I might soon become an uncle?" Little Treasure, being clever, could definitely grasp the reason for this change?
Da Bao merely grinned, providing no response.
From his perspective, being twenty-five, his mind and body were fully prepared; he was ready to become a dad anytime.
However, from Nuonuo’s perspective, currently amidst her career’s upward momentum, it might still be too early.
"Really?" Brother didn’t answer, leading Little Treasure to take it as silent confirmation.
"Don’t speak nonsense; your sister’s still young; it’s best to defer this discussion." Da Bao didn’t wish to impose even the slightest pressure on Nuonuo.
