Chapter 309: Sensible Choice

“Eric will pay for the damages his daughter has caused in some other way . I’ll accept it as much as I can . ” Yun Xiangxiang quickly added .

As long as she didn’t have to get involved with the Cardicra family, she could accept the endorsement offer, even if they were related to the family .

She would have to come across Cardica’s brand sooner or later since they were in the same circle . Yun Xiangxiang couldn’t guarantee if the companies she was endorsing now didn’t collaborate with the Cardircra’s companies .

The Cardicra Family had a gigantic business empire which involved countless production lines . Since Yun Xiangxiang couldn’t escape it, she might as well accept the fact that she would have to work with them .

Yun Xiangxiang was surprised that Eric would be so generous as to give her two choices .

Eric found out that a famous Hollywood director was in the same city as Yun Xiangxiang that day . The director was here to do some field observation for his new film .

Yun Xiangxiang could choose to say that she went to the mansion to see this director and talk about her next film .

If Yun Xiangxiang made this choice, she could immediately join the Hollywood actors’ ranks by becoming this film’s female protagonist .

For Yun Xiangxiang, this was akin to rising to the top .

The other choice involved the top management of CX, the perfume brand . Yun Xiangxiang could choose to say that she talked about endorsements with the top management .

No matter how she chose, Yun Xiangxiang was in the mansion for business .

This was Eric’s compensation for Yun Xiangxiang . Both choices were opportunities Chinese actors couldn’t reach .

As for how much Eric had to pay to make either of the choices work, that was Eric’s business .

If he gave Yun Xiangxiang the choices, of course, he had the resources to make it work .

Yun Xiangxiang didn’t make her own decision this time . Instead, she discussed it with He Wei .

He Wei had already rushed over to her place and looked at the draft of the contracts Eric emailed them .

It wasn’t easy to choose from . He Wei placed both of the printed contracts on the table . “What do you think?” he asked .

“I choose the endorsement . ” Yun Xiangxiang already had her choice . But since she made her own decision once, she had to talk with He Wei about this one .

If He Wei was more optimistic about the film, Yun Xiangxiang was willing to give it a try .

“You’ll be the female protagonist of a Hollywood film fully produced by Hollywood, and it will have an all-Hollywood cast . No Chinese actress has had this treatment before . ” He Wei had to repeat it to her .

“Don’t test me, Brother Wei . You support my decision too . ” Yun Xiangxiang exposed He Wei .

“Why should I support the endorsement?” He Wei refused to admit it . He crossed his arms and leaned against the sofa . “My goal is to make you into a world-famous actress . You’ll have tons of endorsements once you’re famous overseas . Many CX-level endorsements would be waiting for you .

“I don’t think I should try to go for Hollywood at this time . I’m not at that level yet,” Yun Xiangxiang rolled her eyes at He Wei .

“First of all, I saw this film’s script . If the protagonist were to be changed to Chinese, it would cause a lot of contradictions . ”

“Secondly, asking for a script change no matter what would make the director, the main cast, and even the whole team disgruntled at me . ”

“Also, if I bought my way into the crew, they wouldn’t think highly of me . If I did it once, it would be hard for me to get a film in there next time . ”

“Don’t forget that a castle must be built brick by brick, or else it wouldn’t be able to weather a storm .

A literal overnight success could end up destroying her in the long run .

One day, she would get these resources with her own hands .

“That’s all the defense you have?” He Wei raised his eyebrows .

Yun Xiangxiang snorted, “This director is a guy . The story accused me of sleeping around to get roles . Him choosing me to play a prominent role out of the blue wouldn’t to me any favors . The top management of CX—on the other hand—is a lady . ”

“I’m glad you can see everything clearly and make that decision in such short notice,” He Wei looked at her approvingly .

The choices were between that of the profit in the short term or the long run .

If Yun Xiangxiang chose to play in the film, the official announcement would shake the Chinese entertainment industry . The whole of Chinese entertainment would look up to her for a while .

But it would also bring a lot of adverse effects . If she didn’t have the capabilities to take this role, then the higher she was, the harder she would fall . She might even fall to below her current point .

Most actors would bet on this opportunity, no matter if the price were their own career .

Those who made this bet were those who thought they could get lucky and stay in the limelight .

This was a greater temptation than being offered the chance to endorse the Cardicra wristwatch . It was a temptation no actor could resist .

Yun Xiangxiang’s path of stardom had been smooth, almost too smooth .

Many people had to use years or even decades to get to where she was now, but Yun Xiangxiang only took two years for that .

He Wei was worried she might get lost on the way, and he did test her a few times back then .

But none of the temptations were on par with the script this time .

Countless actors dreamed of entering Hollywood .

Countless actors dreamed of appearing in Hollywood’s productions .

Countless actresses fantasized about being the protagonist of a Hollywood film .

When all of that was laid in front of them, it would be like an impossible dream come true for those actors .

They would be willing to go for it even if they had to pay for everything . They couldn’t stay rational and refuse it .

“I knew Brother Wei wasn’t that short-sighted,” Yun Xiangxiang smiled .

“Stop buttering me up and reply to them quickly . The company’s giving me calls nonstop . ” He Wei put on a stoic look .

If it wasn’t for Yun Xiangxiang’s quick, righteous Weibo post, the news might be burning even further .

Even so, the discussion didn’t stop . Putting aside everyone Yun Xiangxiang had offended, she was also one of the most supported actresses by Huan Yu . Her quick rise to fame was already scaring people .

On top of that, she had always been an actress without scandals, so it was hard to attack her . Now that the enemies finally had something juicy, all of them ganged up on her .

“How long until the subpoena comes out?” Yun Xiangxiang felt that the subpoena could shut everyone up once it is given .

“Tomorrow . ” He Wei guessed .

The number of reposts on the day this news was released was massive . Li Xiangling’s senior, Ren Yulin, might be a newbie, but he was fast at doing things .

The court filed the case the next day . Two days had passed since then . Yun Xiangxiang had also given them the evidence Eric gave her .

But things had not ended yet . The company was panicking, and rightly so . They have just finished filming “Jiu Se,” a film which they invested on .

Yun Xiangxiang wanted to end this sooner, as her fans were not the only ones waiting for her . Her company and her parents were waiting too .

When she recalled how worried Su Xiuling sounded when she called her daughter that night, Yun Xiangxiang felt like crying .

In her past life, Yun Xiangxiang would shoulder all the attacks on her by herself . In this life, everyone concerned about her would be restless even if she was slightly hurt .

Every time she made them worry, Yun Xiangxiang felt guilty and sad .
