The gifts Xiaojun brought were ruthlessly tossed aside by Old Master Mo. In the end, it was the old butler who, unable to watch any longer, helped Xiaojun put them into the storage room.
“Why are you back, you brat? Aren’t you supposed to be in school? You said you wanted to be a big star. Don’t end up graduating without making a name for yourself.”
Old Master Mo said unceremoniously, unafraid that his words might discourage his eldest grandson.
Xiaojun: “Heh, you don’t need to worry about that. Mo Xuan and I have successfully passed our auditions. We’ll be joining the crew to film in a few days. Once filming is done, you’ll be able to see your beloved eldest grandson on television.”
Upon hearing this, Old Master Mo smiled and said, “Not bad, not bad. As expected of a descendant of our Mo family, you’ve got what it takes.”
“Of course! Let me tell you, in the entire new generation, only Mo Xuan and I succeeded in getting cast. He’s playing the male lead, and I’m the male supporting. It seems the film company under your nephew’s banner invested in it.”
Xiaojun told Old Master Mo.
“Don’t tell me your little uncle pulled some strings for you,” Old Master Mo looked at him suspiciously, his face full of doubt.
“Grandpa, look at me, look at me. Do I need to? I absolutely don’t need to!” Xiaojun quickly tried to prove himself.
It wasn’t that Old Master Mo was unreasonable. Although he felt sorry for his eldest grandson who had been ill for so many years, now that he was normal, he had to plan well for his own future.
Even though their Mo family was wealthy and powerful, those things were ultimately not earned by Xiaojun himself and couldn’t be relied upon.
“Alright then, you have to perform well. When your show airs, Grandpa will definitely watch!”
They stayed at the Mo residence for one night. The next morning, the old butler arranged for someone to send them back to school.
It was also on this night that Mo Xuan finally learned that the two of them were going to find him a father!
Mo Xuan: His mother is indeed formidable. She found such a young, rich, and handsome man as a husband when she’s already over a thousand years old!
Mo Xuan was joining the crew in two days because he didn’t have an agent or an entertainment company, so the contract hadn’t been signed yet.
In fact, if Shen Yao hadn’t come to Kyoto this time, he would have called Shen Yao within these few days to come to Kyoto to sign the contract.
Even though he was already an adult, he was unfamiliar with many laws in this world, so he still wanted Shen Yao to review it.
Fortunately, this drama was invested in by an entertainment company under Mo Chen’s company, so they made an exception allowing him to sign the contract on the day he joined the crew.
On the day of joining the crew, Shen Yao drove Mo Xuan and Xiaojun to the set.
The crew had rented a large venue in Kyoto. Except for a few scenes that needed to be filmed in Hengdian, most of the filming took place at this venue.
The large venue was not particularly far from Mo Xuan’s arts school; it was in the suburbs, about an hour’s drive away.
Shen Yao followed the navigation to the destination. Looking at the rented venue, he had to admit that a significant amount of money had been spent.
Since Xiaojun was not yet an adult, Shen Yao would be reviewing the contract again. Mo Chen was supposed to be present, but unfortunately, he had a last-minute meeting and had to entrust Shen Yao with the task.
Last night, the two of them had discussed it and decided to directly have Shen Yao sign Xiaojun under Starry Entertainment. First, it was their own industry, so they wouldn’t have to worry about the typical entertainment industry practices.
Second, having them under his direct supervision put his mind at ease. Moreover, Starry Entertainment had excellent resources. As the saying goes, keep your profits within the family. Allocating resources to the two of them was just right.
As soon as Shen Yao parked the car, he saw a man with an extremely alluring demeanor rushing towards them.
“Oh, my god, heavens! The three of you are simply too beautiful, too handsome! You are Venus in my heart.”
Shen Yao and the other two were bewildered: Who is this?
An Jiu noticed their confusion and quickly introduced himself, “Sorry, let me introduce myself. I am your future agent. My name is An Jiu. I hope for your guidance in the future.”
An Jiu’s every move exuded a woman’s alluring beauty. Shen Yao unsurprising realized that this person in front of him was his “sister”!
“Hello, Brother An.”
“Hello, Brother An.”
Xiaojun and Mo Xuan quickly greeted him. Last night, Mo Chen had already informed them that they would be signing with Starry Entertainment and that their top agent, An Jiu, would be assigned to them.
Although they were not very familiar with this world, having mobile phones made things much more convenient for them.
After entering the arts school, teachers would explain the entire history of the entertainment industry and various entertainment companies to them.
They would also analyze the differences between entertainment companies and management companies. Therefore, Starry Entertainment, as a leader in the industry, was often used as a case study by their teachers.
An Jiu, as a top agent, had been mentioned countless times by their teachers.
Seeing their humility, An Jiu was very satisfied. “Good, good. As long as you film diligently and hone your acting skills, I will definitely make you into top stars!”
No one doubted whether his words were exaggerated, because with his capabilities, he had indeed guided many big stars in the entertainment industry.
“Then we’ll be counting on you. These two are not very familiar with the entertainment industry. I hope you can guide them well,” Shen Yao said to An Jiu.
Looking at Shen Yao, An Jiu’s eyes revealed two words: “Want to sign!”
However, he also knew that while this woman was beautiful, it wasn’t impossible for her to enter the entertainment industry. He could only sigh regretfully.
Why did Shen Yao need to sign if they already had an agent?
This was because before signing with an entertainment company, if Mo Xuan and Xiaojun signed contracts with the crew directly, they wouldn’t need to share the proceeds with the company.
This was also a small gesture of goodwill from Mo Chen, their uncle and father figure.
Mo Xuan: I thank you so much!
Because once they signed with an agency, even if the work wasn’t arranged by the company but found by themselves, the income earned would have to be shared with the company.
However, compared to other companies, their three-seven split was the envy of countless people in the entertainment industry.
Since Mo Xuan and Xiaojun were newcomers and playing male supporting roles, their remuneration wasn’t particularly high. Unlike the male and female leads who earned per episode, their remuneration was paid in a lump sum.
Mo Xuan, as the male lead, would have some action scenes involving martial arts, so his remuneration was 100,000 yuan more than Xiaojun’s.
Mo Xuan would receive 300,000 yuan for the entire filming, while Xiaojun would receive 200,000 yuan.
Although the remuneration didn’t even amount to the tips of the male and female leads, Mo Xuan and Xiaojun were satisfied with such treatment.
