This top celebrity got drunk and acted crazy, and everyone in the Chinese entertainment industry bur

Honey Sister is not only an actress and artist now, but also the boss of Jiaxing, and has some signed artists under her.

They chose Jiaxing not because they admired Sister Mi, but because they believed Sister Mi could bring them some resources.

If Sister Honey can't bring them some resources, then they're not stupid.

Just like Tang Ren back then, with the decline of domestic costume fantasy dramas in recent years, Tang Ren's resources have become increasingly scarce. Not only is it becoming more and more difficult to sign new artists, but even the artists under his management have left one after another.

Sister Mi doesn't want her artist Jiaxing to end up like Tang Ren, so if possible, she hopes to secure some resources for them.

After all, if the artists under her management develop well, Sister Honey can also make money.

"Uh-huh!"

Dilraba nodded and lay down on the sofa, closing her eyes. She was exhausted from running around for announcements and endorsements these past few days, and didn't even have much time to have a heart-to-heart talk with Lü Ming.

After seeing that Reba had fallen asleep on the sofa, Sister Mi quietly left her office and found a secluded place to call Lü Ming.

"Isn't this Boss Yang?"

"You didn't call just because of that Shirley Yang role, did you?"

When she heard Lu Ming's disbelieving voice on the other end of the phone, Sister Mi got a little angry. Originally, Sister Mi didn't have many thoughts about it, but Lu Ming's words made her rebellious. She said to Lu Ming on the other end of the phone, "What's wrong? Am I not good enough?"

"Hey lady, look at your age!"

"You're not a little girl anymore, this isn't suitable for you!"

After hearing Lü Ming's explanation, Sister Mi looked at her exquisite and beautiful face reflected in the window, then looked down at her own proud figure, and became even angrier.

old woman?
With her looks and figure, everyone who sees her would call her a goddess.

Besides, although she is a bit older than Dilraba, a woman in her thirties is still in her prime, so how could she be an old woman?
"You're calling me an old woman?"

Sister Mi's body heaved with anger as she questioned Lü Ming on the other end of the phone.

"what happened?"

"Don't you know?"

After hearing Sister Mi's question, Lü Ming looked at her curiously on the other end of the phone and said, "Sister, I watched you in 'Chinese Paladin 3' when I was in elementary school, and now I'm an adult."

After hearing Lü Ming's words, Sister Mi fell silent.

Oh shit!

A man with no taste doesn't know how to appreciate!

“I’m not interested in the role of ‘Shirley Yang’. I’d like to ask if there are any other roles you might consider, perhaps by one of our artists from Jiaxing Entertainment!”

"We at Jiaxing would very much like to cooperate with you!"

Honey Sister was too lazy to say anything more to Lü Ming. The more she talked to him, the angrier she got. So she started talking to Lü Ming about serious business.

"Oh, no problem!"

How many characters do you need?

Upon hearing Sister Mi's question, Lü Ming readily answered.

So refreshing?

Honey Sister didn't expect Lü Ming to be so straightforward. She thought it was because of Dilraba, so she quickly said, "Of course, the more the merrier! We at Jiaxing have quite a few artists. If that's not enough, then we'll take five!"

If possible, Sister Honey would definitely like to take on all the other roles. Then, she could use that to attract many potential talents to her company.

However, Sister Honey also knew that this was unrealistic. Apart from the male and female leads, there were only so many other roles in a drama. If she wanted all of them, wouldn't she offend people?

After all, Lu Ming still has people working in his own studio, not to mention that he might need some from iQiyi and Tencent Video, so he can't go too far.

So Sister Mi thought about it and realized that Jiaxing currently has about five or six artists with potential and time, so she decided to take fewer roles, maybe five supporting roles.

"no problem!"

"Ten million in total!"

Lu Ming's almost immediate answer came from the other end of the phone. After hearing his words, Sister Mi hesitated slightly, but considering Lu Ming's current popularity and online traffic, and since she needed his help, she agreed.

Ten million it is!
It's fine if it's less!

"Okay, when are you going to transfer the money?"

"What do you mean, transfer money?"

"Didn't you want five supporting roles? Two million each, five of them would be ten million!"

"Don't worry, we're all on the same side now, so I won't raise the price for you!"

Hearing Lu Ming's matter-of-fact words on the other end of the phone, Sister Mi's eyes turned red with anger. If Lu Ming were standing in front of her right now, she would want to take a knife and chop him up.

Returning them to their own people?

So, the preferential treatment for our own people means not raising prices, right?
Besides, from the beginning until now, I've always thought that the ten million that Lu Ming mentioned was the salary for those five supporting actors or something.

Although, in Sister Mi's opinion, the total of ten million for the five supporting actors is a bit low.

All things considered, it would only cost two million for one person to film the entire movie.

Two million may seem like a lot, but you have to consider the current situation.

Things are different now than they were a few years ago. With the influx of capital into the entertainment industry, artists' salaries have increased exponentially.

Two million might have been enough to hire a second-tier actor or entertainer in the past, but now it's only the price of a third-tier entertainer.

Generally, second-tier artists need at least five million to start, while first-tier artists like Sister Mi need tens of millions to start, depending on their schedules.

If someone were to offer two million for one of the more famous second-tier artists under their company, Sister Honey would definitely kick them out without hesitation.

However, considering Lü Ming's current popularity and the hype surrounding "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City," which is undoubtedly destined to be a huge hit, a smaller amount is acceptable.

Anyway, as long as he can become popular with Lü Ming's "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City", it will be easy for him to make money in the future.

But Sister Mi never expected that the ten million was not a film fee at all, but a 'bribe' that Lü Ming had asked her for.

"And what about the pay?"

"Do you still want to work for free?" Sister Mi forcibly suppressed her anger and asked Lü Ming.

"That's what you said!"

"If your people insist on acting for free, I wouldn't actually refuse."

"But we're all on the same side, how could I let our brothers and sisters go hungry? I'm not that kind of person!"

"That's settled then. I'll be generous and offer one million per person!"

Hearing Lu Ming's arrogant words on the other end of the phone, Sister Mi was so angry that she laughed. She said to Lu Ming, "So it's like my employees working for you for months without earning a penny, and I even have to pay each of them a million, right?"

Upon hearing Sister Mi's words, Lü Ming on the other end of the phone showed no unease. With a faint smile on his face, he earnestly advised Sister Mi, "You're too narrow-minded. What do you mean by 'paying someone else'? Look further ahead, that's called investing in the future! Just tell me if you want it or not. If you do, remember to transfer the money soon. If not, then forget it!"

"You idiot, I'm going to kill you! Nobody's dared to bully me like this all these years!"

Just by listening to the angry voice coming from the phone, Lü Ming could almost imagine the volcanic eruption that Sister Mi was about to cause. Before Sister Mi could react, he hung up the phone without hesitation.

As long as I don't listen, no one can scold me!

I am so smart!

Just as Lü Ming was marveling at his own cleverness, he saw a transfer notification on his phone, followed by another call from Sister Mi.

"I agreed!"

"You better watch out, you bum, don't give me a chance!"

On the other end of the phone, Sister Mi said fiercely to Lü Ming that if she had the chance, she would definitely make Lü Ming taste the pain and torment she had suffered today.

Thinking back on the time she had known Lü Ming, she had almost never gotten the better of him. Even the last time, because of "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer," she hoped that Lü Ming and Dilraba wouldn't go too far, and Lü Ming angrily rebuked her.

Or perhaps they wanted a few roles from Zhao Lüming today, but Lüming extorted a hefty sum from them.

Looking across the entire entertainment industry, there are very few people who would dare to treat his sister Mi like that.

Not to mention that Sister Mi is now a powerful figure in the entertainment industry, even when she was still climbing the ladder, no one dared to bully her like this, let alone bully her so openly as Lü Ming.

"That's it!"

"Just bring your people over for the audition in a couple of days!"

Looking at the text message confirming the payment on his phone, Lü Ming casually said to Sister Mi on the other end of the line, "If we weren't all on the same side, no one else would have this opportunity."

Hearing Lü Ming's smug words, even though Sister Mi knew he wasn't lying, his smug look still made her feel a little annoyed.

Given the current popularity of Lü Ming and the TV series "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City," there are probably many people waving their checks, hoping to get a role in the series.

Let alone one million, even five million would probably be enough to make a lot of people scrambling to give money to Lü Ming.

Nobody's stupid; getting a role like this for five million is definitely a good deal.

Even an ordinary person, as long as they can make a brief appearance in "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City", can easily become a somewhat famous third-tier actor with just a few press releases.

Just a few appearances and endorsements later on, and that five million will be easily earned back.

Compared to the current prosperity and bubble of the entertainment industry, five million is really nothing.
Meanwhile, while Sister Honey was still feeling down about being extorted by Lü Ming, in an apartment in the capital...

"Do you think he'd give me that role if I asked that unknown actor for it?"

Sister Zheng also paid attention to the news in the industry and was also very interested in the role of the female lead.

It's safe to say that Zheng Jie is the one who regrets it the most these days.

Sister Zheng never imagined that Lu Ming, who used to be so timid and submissive in front of her, would become so successful after breaking up with her, and now even surpass her in popularity.

Not to mention that compared to her popularity maintained through various press releases, Lü Ming's popularity is genuine.

It's worth noting that over the years, because she hasn't produced any good works, her popularity has actually declined drastically. She's not even close to being a top-tier celebrity anymore, let alone a first-tier one.

If she can land the lead role in "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City", once the show becomes popular, she can not only maintain her current popularity and buzz, but also potentially rise to the level of a top-tier actress like Dilraba Dilmurat and establish herself firmly in the industry.

Not to mention, given her love-hate relationship with Lü Ming, if she could get that role...

As long as some press releases are made during filming, she'll still get all sorts of attention.

Upon hearing Sister Zheng's words, her manager and assistant standing behind her exchanged glances, their eyes filled with concern as if they were looking at a fool.

The two of them simply couldn't keep up with Sister Zheng's thought process.

Given her complicated love-hate relationship with Lü Ming, Lü Ming would never choose her unless he was a fool.

Not to mention that the role in front of him is no ordinary one; even in the entire film and television industry, he is one of a kind, and there are far too many people who want this role.

They really couldn't figure out how Sister Zheng managed to get this role.

Relying on acting skills?

Sister Zheng doesn't have that either!

If she had acting skills, with all the popularity she's had over the years, she would have become a top star long ago, and wouldn't be in this situation now.

Relying on personal connections?
That's even more impossible!
Lu Ming wished Zheng Jie would die quickly, so how could he possibly give her this role?

"What are you looking at?"

Sister Zheng turned her head, looked at her manager and assistant with some anger, and slammed her phone to the ground, saying with a dissatisfied expression, "Am I not worthy?"

"Of course it's a good match, of course it's a good match!"

"You're the perfect candidate for this role!"

The agent and assistant knew this guy's temperament all too well, so they quickly went over to coax him, and then said to Sister Zheng, "Why don't you call Lü Ming and ask him?"

"Do you think I don't want to fight?"

Upon hearing her manager's words, Sister Zheng seemed to remember something and became even angrier, shouting loudly, "That nobody actually blocked my number! I can't contact him at all!"

Sister Zheng had long wanted to contact Lü Ming, hoping to reconnect with him and perhaps, out of consideration for their past relationship, give her the role if he was sensible.

The two of them used to have some affection for each other, although there isn't much left now.
