"Hello Li Xing, I'm sorry to bother you so late."

Not long after Li Xing sent those words to Ning Xiaoning, he received a call, but it wasn't from Ning Xiaoning, but from director Zhao Yiwen's assistant.

"It's okay, I haven't slept yet, what's the matter?"

"I'm really sorry. I'm afraid that the contract we signed before can't be implemented. Director Zhao feels very guilty and embarrassed to tell you about this in person, so he asked me to call you and apologize."

"..."

Li Xing was silent for a moment.

After Zhao Yiwen had a phone call with him that day, he asked his assistant to come to the program team and sign a contract with him the next day.

In the contract, Li Xing agreed to authorize his poem "Xia Ke Xing" to Zhao Yiwen. They could name the movie after this name, use the poem in the movie, and use the poem to promote the movie during the promotion period.

Remuneration was also mentioned in the contract. Originally, Li Xing did not want to receive money, but Zhao Yiwen insisted on paying it, and paid 1,000 yuan per word, giving Li Xing a total of 120,000 yuan.

This shows how much Zhao Yiwen likes the poem "Xia Ke Xing", but now he has terminated the contract.

There is no doubt that this is definitely not Zhao Yiwen's personal wish, and it should also be the work of Ruifeng Company.

Although Zhao Yiwen is a well-known director, he does not have the final say in making movies. He does not even have the biggest say, and he often has no control over what he does.

"I understand. I don't blame Director Zhao for this. I still have to thank Director Zhao for his appreciation. As for the reward..."

"There is no need to return the reward! This is what Director Zhao emphasized. This time we breached the contract first, so 120,000 yuan will be regarded as liquidated damages. It is also Director Zhao's apology to you."

"Okay, I understand, please thank Director Zhao for me."

The two said a few more words and then hung up the phone. Li Xing let out a heavy breath.

Sure enough, Ruifeng's method was not just as simple as reducing his shots. Although Li Xing didn't care so much about his cooperation with Zhao Yiwen, it still made him feel a little unhappy to be interrupted like this.

"What other means are there?"

Li Xing squinted his eyes and looked out the window with a fierce gaze.

.......

Xuanjian Company.

Wearing a long gray windbreaker, Yan Hailong walked into the lobby on the first floor.

"Hello, Senior Yan."

"Hello, Brother Yan."

"..."

Along the way, both the martial arts stars and the staff greeted him very politely when they saw him, and he responded in turn, sometimes stopping to talk and laugh.

There are two kings and one queen in Xuanjian Company. Yan Hailong is the least pretentious one, so he is also the most popular.

Soon, he walked into the general manager's office.

When Yang Zhigang, the general manager of Xuanjian Company, saw Yan Hailong, he quickly stood up from his chair and greeted him with a smile.

"Brother Yan, I haven't seen you for a long time. Why do you come to my place when you have time?"

"You're not welcome?"

"Hahaha, welcome. Someone just gave me a bottle of good wine a few days ago. I know you like this, Brother Yan, so I kept it specially for you. I'll have my assistant bring it to me in a moment."

"Haha, okay, then I won't be polite to you."

After the two joked for a while, Yan Hailong got down to business:

"I heard that the company sent people to talk to Li Xing yesterday to sign him, but in the end no agreement was reached?"

Yang Zhigang was stunned for a moment: "Is it Li Xing from the Creation Camp?"

Yan Hailong nodded: "Yes."

Yang Zhigang: "The people from the Wuxing Department are mainly responsible for this matter. Lei Hong asked me for a C-level contract, and I approved it. Later I heard that Li Xing actually asked for autonomy, so naturally we didn't reach an agreement."

"Autonomy? This guy dares to make conditions?"

Yan Hailong burst into laughter and finally understood why Li Xing, one of the three major companies, did not sign.

Yang Zhigang: "Yes, this guy is so bold. A newcomer wants autonomy. Xinyue and Ruifeng will definitely not agree."

Yan Hailong thought for a while and said, "I think this Li Xing is very talented. It would be a pity that the company did not sign him."

Yang Zhigang was a little surprised when he heard this: "Oh? Brother Yan thinks so highly of him?"

Yan Hailong smiled and said: "You know, I like to discover new people. I think this Li Xing has great potential. He may not have the opportunity to become a martial arts creative master in the future."

Yang Zhigang's expression became serious, because Yan Hailong is famous in the circle for promoting newcomers, and he does have a good eye. Seven or eight out of ten newcomers he likes can make it.

Here comes some tricks.

Now that Yan Hailong has such a high opinion of Li Xing, Yang Zhigang has to re-examine this newcomer.

"How about this."

After thinking for a while, Yang Zhigang looked at Yan Hailong and said, "I will ask Lei Hong to send someone to talk to Li Xing again. This time we will give him an A-level appointment!"

The contracts of several giant companies are similar, A-level contracts. Liang Feiyu, the champion of last year's Creation Camp, directly changed from D-level to A-level contracts after winning the Rookie of the Year crown. Generally, only top-tier martial arts stars are eligible to sign A-level contracts. Now Yang Zhigang

He was actually willing to directly offer an A-level contract to a newcomer like Li Xing, which can be said to be full of sincerity.

Of course, this is also to give Yan Hailong face. After all, over the years, there are not many newcomers who can make Yan Hailong, the king, come to him as the general manager to say good things.

Yan Hailong's eyes lit up and he gave Yang Zhigang a thumbs up: "You have courage!"

"Haha, if this Li Xing doesn't become a master in the future, I will come to see you, Brother Yan."

Yang Zhigang laughed and said.

"Hahaha, I can't guarantee this. I will at most compensate you with a bottle of good wine."

Yan Hailong also said with a smile.

As the two talked and laughed, the matter was settled.

They didn't mention whether Li Xing would agree to it, because no newcomer would refuse Xuanjian Company's A-level contract unless they were mentally flawed.

.....

That afternoon.

"What did you say, he refused?!"

Yan Hailong held his mobile phone with a look of disbelief on his face.

The A-level contract he specially obtained for Li Xing was actually rejected?

"Is there something wrong with the world, or am I already old?"

Yan Hailong hung up the phone and felt a little lost.

You don’t even want an A-level appointment, you just want autonomy. What are you looking for?

He didn't understand it so much that he couldn't help but call Li Xing directly:

"Hello, I'm Yan Hailong."

"Senior Yan? Are you looking for me?"

"Yes, I came to you, and I specifically helped you get an A-level appointment, but you still refused. I want to ask what do you think?"

"It turns out that it was Senior Yan who spoke for me. Why did I suddenly change from C level to A level? Thank you so much, Senior Yan!"

"Thank you, don't you still refuse?"

"Haha, Senior Yan, I have my own ideas."

"What do you think? Ruifeng has begun to suppress you. Don't you feel it yourself? If you don't quickly find a big tree to lean against, do you want to wait to be trampled to death?"

Yan Hailong was also angry and spoke very directly.

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and just when Yan Hailong couldn't help but continue to say something, Li Xing's voice came over:

"Senior Yan, I remember that you have your own studio. How about you, Senior Yan, let me lean on this big tree?"

"ha?"

"Senior Yan, why don't you consider me?"

Li Xing's words stunned Yan Hailong.

He actually considered using his own studio to sign Li Xing, but later he felt that with Li Xing's talent, joining Xuanjian would have a better future, so he finally helped Li Xing get an A-level contract from Yang Zhigang.

"Senior Yan, my requirements for resources and martial arts are not that high. I just want a freer working environment."

Li Xing continued, "Just think of it as having a free person in your studio. You don't need to spend any resources anyway."

"You don't want the resources, so what are you after?"

Yan Hailong asked puzzledly.

Li Xing: "As you just said, with the big tree at my back, no one will dare to step on me, which can help me avoid a lot of trouble. And if I want to participate in Nightmare, I must join a company or studio.
