Bai Chao’s assistant director cum friend, Tu Sheng, expressed that he was helpless in the face of He Meng and Yu I lan’s helpless gazes. “Since he wants to sign it, so be it. Anyway, it’s his own business if he regrets it. It’s written in black and white. He’s such a prideful person. Even if he regrets it, he’ll only go home and hide in bed to cry. He won’t fight with you.”
Tu Sheng was really a bad friend. It felt like he did not consider Bai Chao at all. However, Bai Chao had actually discussed with him in private why he wanted to sign with Yu Han’s studio.Indeed, one of the reasons was because he did not have a place to stay and did not have money in his pocket.
However, Bai Chao had been accepted as the last disciple of a famous director and had been in the industry for so many years. How could he be really stupid enough to sell himself for such a small benefit?
It was obvious from the way he tricked Yu Han into investing in this television drama. He had his own shrewdness. In Bai Chao’s opinion, Yu Han, this little girl, had her own opinions and persistence. She was not a bad person and did not like to make things difficult for others.
Everyone knew very well what her assistant, Lang Yu, was like under Fang Qing back then. He was like a different person compared to now. Not only had Lang Yu become outstanding and capable, but he was also much more confident. Based on this, it could be seen that she treated her subordinates well.
Of course, it was fine if she was good, but it was useless if she did not have money. After all, the entertainment industry was still a realistic place. However, Yu Han did not lack money. Even if Bai Chao could not figure out Yu Han’s true background, just the fact that she could make Starlight Entertainment relent and open a studio for her as a newcomer was enough to prove her ability.
Not to mention that other than Starlight Entertainment, there was also Best Actor Ji. Seeing how much that person valued Yu Han, her future development should not be bad. Moreover, with Ji Jun around, there would at least be another way for his project to attract business in the future.
Therefore, how many people who could survive in this industry for a long time were really stupid?
Under Bai Chao’s insistence, He Meng typed out the contract. Then, both parties signed and stamped it.
From then on, Yu Han’s studio officially gained the first fierce general. As a director with very high future achievements, Bai Chao would earn a lot of honor and money for the studio in the future.
After Bai Chao signed, he finally had time to look at the studio’s name.
He let out a roar. “Our studio is called ‘Prosperous Yu’. This name is good, auspicious, and generous!”
The studio was opened because of Yu Han, so her name was incorporated when they came up with the name. At first, everyone listed a lot of names, but in the end, Yu Han made the final decision and chose the festive and happy name “Prosperous Yu”.
After the wrap party was over and the contract was signed, Bai Chao was finally carried away by Tu Sheng in satisfaction. As soon as the two of them got into the car, Bai Chao immediately sat up when he saw that there were no outsiders. He no longer looked drunk.
Tu Sheng glanced at him through the rearview mirror and did not find his change strange. Clearly, he was very familiar with his trick of pretending to be crazy when drunk. “Are you so sure that Yu Han’s studio can bring you what you want?”
Bai Chao said nonchalantly, “Who can be sure of the future? It’s already not bad for us to live and take care of the present.”
Tu Sheng often felt helpless when facing his good friend. “Then what’s the most important thing for you, Director Bai?”
Bai Chao put the contract back into his bag. “Of course, I have to hurry back to the hotel to pack my bags. I’ll check out tomorrow morning and then go to the studio to occupy a good bed. I have to stay there for the upcoming period of time, so 1 have to choose a good position.”
At the mention of this, Tu Sheng did not dare to probe further.
That was because the person, who had promised to let Bai Chao stay with him but went back on his word and abandoned his friend for his girlfriend, was Tu Sheng himself.
In order to prevent Bai Chao from bringing up old scores, he said enthusiastically, “Then do you want me to pick you up tomorrow morning?”
Bai Chao shook his head. “There’s no need for that. I only have a few clothes. I’ll pack them up in a box and leave. You should go back and accompany your girlfriend.”
Tu Sheng immediately shut his mouth and focused on driving.
The next morning, at around seven o’clock, Lang Yu received a call from Bai Chao. “Didn’t you say that you wanted to visit our studio? Coincidentally, I’m free in the morning.. Why don’t we go take a look now?”
