Blackstone Code

Life is like a dream, there are good things and bad things in dreams.

For several days, Nellie felt as if she was living in a dream that was not quite real.

Lynch bought her some "worthless gadgets" as he called them, but no matter how worthless they were, they were still extremely expensive for Nelly.

Like the snow-white bear fur coat that she had seen in many showcases. The specially processed soft white bear fur swelled on the outside. When you put it on, your whole body seemed to turn into a big snowball.

Every time she saw this dress in the window of some store she was passing by, she would stop and look at it for a while.

Every girl has many colorful dreams, and she does too, but she also knows that this is not a dream that can be fulfilled, and not all dreams will come true.

Many times, what finally comes true is just a nightmare.

It cost tens of thousands of yuan, and based on her current income capacity, it would take about twenty or thirty years before she could wear it.

But just in such an unexpected few days, she put it on decades early.

The soft fur made her want to hug herself tightly all the time. It was so comfortable, and the gentle and silky feel made people ignore the passage of time.

There are also all kinds of jewelry and accessories, she owns them all.

What surprised her even more was that Lin Qi bought her a lot of things, but he didn't give her any money.

Weird, huh?

She felt the same way. She had paid so much, and although she did get a lot of good things, why wasn't Lynch willing to give her some money to improve her life?

Don’t others always say that after being adopted, you will become rich?

Until the moment she left, Lynch didn't mention this matter, and she was too embarrassed to ask.

This is the biggest difference between her and Penny. If it were Penny, she would definitely ask this question when she was riding Lynch.

As for Nellie, because of shyness or other reasons, she had no way of asking questions.

Just when she was about to return to Laldimore, Lynch unexpectedly told her the answer she wanted.

"You are no one's personal belongings, and you are not my mistress. Your personality is always independent."

"I respect your personality, and I won't directly use money to humiliate you and make you feel like a little pet or something."

"In the new era, only independent women will be appreciated and loved. I believe you can do a great job!"

“And you don’t have to worry about money, you’ll soon learn that money is not hard to come by!”

What Lynch said made Nelly feel a little confused. She felt like she was being treated for nothing, but this was different from being treated for nothing because Lynch bought her a lot of valuable things.

So this was a very contradictory feeling. It was obvious that those things were worth hundreds of thousands at least, but when it was time to pay for them, he didn't come up with a penny.

Not only will it not make people hate him, but it will also make people feel an indescribable sense of relief.

On the afternoon of the day she returned to Laldimore, before Nellie had time to leave the station, the staff of Fox Studios were already waiting for her at the station holding a sign.

She was a thin woman in her thirties, wearing neutral clothing and short hair. She looked very sophisticated and had a strong aura.

There were two young men and women beside her, who seemed to be the killers at first glance. They lacked that powerful aura.

Nellie hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward to meet him.

Logically speaking, this kind of pick-up service at the station would not be used for a low-level contracted performer. Only movie stars and company executives can enjoy such treatment.

She actually hasn't realized what Bu Payne's journey these days means. It's not just a matter of "playing in vain". Many things have changed dramatically in the process of "playing in vain".

"Hello, Nellie, I am your new agent..." The powerful and capable lady took the initiative to extend her hand, and a smile appeared on her tight face, "From today on, you Your contract will be upgraded to the second level, and I will be fully responsible for everything in your work and life!"

She emphasized, "It's everything, we will also live together." She turned around and introduced the other two staff members to Nelly.

These two people are also employees of the company and are members of "Team Nellie".

That's one of the benefits of working with Lynch, climbing up the corporate ladder quickly.

Nelly is a little uncomfortable with this change, "The house I live in now is very small..."

What she meant was that her small apartment couldn't accommodate so many people. The new agent had clearly told her that their team would always be together, whether it was work or life, which also meant that they had to be squeezed together.

This made Nellie a little embarrassed. The small apartment was really too small.

But her agent laughed and said, "It doesn't matter. Among the benefits the company gives to the second-tier contracted actors, there is a clause to improve the living environment."

"We have a community of our own in the suburbs. You will have a single-family house in it. Of course, you only have the right to use it. We will live together."

Nelly's eyes widened. She had heard of this place. In fact, third-tier actors were eligible to live there, but they lived with other third-tier actors.

Only when you reach the second level can you live alone with your team.

If you reach the first tier, you will live directly in a villa in the city, and you may even transfer the house directly to the star who signed the contract as a gift.

When we were low-level actor students, everyone always fantasized about this day coming, but we didn't expect that it would actually come true, and it would happen so soon!

"I still have some checked things..." She greeted him. The things Lynch bought were not too much but not too little. A girl would definitely not be able to carry them, so those things were entrusted to the warehouse for consignment.

The agent put his arm around her shoulders and led her outside. At the same time, he took the cargo ticket she was using to pick up the goods and gave it to the male assistant beside her. "What you have to do now is not to think about those things, but to Pick the script!”

Nelly paused for a moment, "Selecting the script...does it have anything to do with me?"

She still hasn't been able to react or adapt. She has stayed at the bottom for too long and has seen too many dreams shattered. She doesn't believe in these things anymore, so she hasn't realized that her efforts in Bupen And the harvest season has entered so quickly.

The agent continued to move forward with his arm around her shoulders, "Of course, the company plans to spend 300,000 yuan to shoot a romance film. You are lucky to be selected as the heroine."

"You know, no one in our profession is as important as the protagonist..."

The agent actually didn't finish what he said. The correct statement is "No one is as important as the person behind the protagonist."

She was still dazed until her agent led her to the house assigned to her by the company, and she gradually understood why Lynch didn't give her money, because it was really not necessary.

She can definitely make money with her own abilities. This is Lynch's respect for her. She understands Lynch's painstaking efforts!

Of the company's 300,000 yuan for the filming this time, 50,000 yuan was given to her as a salary. Considering that her popularity is still very low, actually giving 50,000 yuan is already a lot, and even exceeds it by a lot.

"I personally suggest you talk to the company's production department and take the initiative to lower your salary..." Sitting in the clean and bright living room, the agent said while peeling fruits imported from Nagaril. .

After just eating the fruit pulp she received from her agent, Nelly was a little confused, "Why?"

The agent handed over the remaining pulp in his hand, then picked up a wet wipe and wiped his hands, "Because your starting salary is too high, outside projects will not dare to use you in the future."

"Honestly, although I don't know whose path you took, I took over this job and I will be responsible for you."

"Now you have no status at all. You are still just a newcomer. When other newcomers take on the role of heroine in a film at a time like yours, their salary will not exceed 10,000 yuan, and many only only three to five thousand yuan."

"The company gave you 50,000 yuan. This is too much money. Your starting level is too high. If someone wants to use you in the future, they will have to pay at least 50,000 yuan."

"But you haven't been able to prove your worth in the entire circle. To be honest, I don't think you are worth the money."

"I also believe that many people will have the same view as me, which will lead to the fact that once you leave the company's business scope, you will not get any film contracts!"

"Others won't take such a big risk to invite you. If you can't make films of more types and producers, your development path will be very narrow."

After listening carefully, Nelly nodded, "I will tell the company that if this is the case, we can lower the pay, for example..."

"Ten thousand dollars?"

The agent did not answer the question immediately, but asked, "Can you tell me a little bit about whose path you are taking?"

An unknown contracted student suddenly picked up the project and started selecting scripts. Ghost wouldn't believe it if there was nothing going on.

This method of quickly rising to the top has both advantages and disadvantages. If you encounter some people who are not strong enough, you may not be able to last for a few years.

But if you meet someone who can stand up, your future career arrangements can be made a little easier.

For brokers, these differences are roughly equivalent to the difference between "tickets" and "cars."

The ticket is to allow Nelly to become famous quickly. As long as she is strong enough, she may not be able to stay at the top.

But in this case, she will have to work harder, of course, in terms of acting skills and managing connections.

If it were a car, it could at least carry her to a high enough height quickly. As long as she wasn't too useless, the entertainment industry would have her place anyway.

Nellie hesitated, but finally told her agent.

From the day she entered the industry, she knew how important an agent was to an artist.

When the name "Lynch" came out of her mouth, the agent took a breath.

The way she looked at Nellie became a little strange. She didn't find anything particularly attractive about Nellie that could make a character like Lynch take a liking to her.

She is far less young than Penny. It is said that when Penny and Lynch met, she was only seventeen years old. Age is also an important factor for men.

As for Nellie, she is already twenty-two years old and has no advantages at all.
