Black-bellied Movie Emperor's Clever Wife Chapter 4 Part2

The large living room downstairs is a 12-meter high rise design with a wide area, 24/7 bright room effect and excellent lighting. It captures the glory of the sun, the moon, the stars, and the picturesque rhythm of light and shadow. Whether the home itself or the carpet, it embodies the style of a celebrity.

Geng b.u.mei has been pacing back and forth on the hand-woven vintage carpet for a long time, and the carpet was almost worn out by him.

Wei Bao was sitting on the sofa and watching him like a dangling pendulum. After a long while, he could no longer bear it, so he put down the tea cup in his hand and dragged him down. “Stop walking around! It's annoying!”

Geng b.u.mei glanced at the floor clock in the distance. “It's already 11 o'clock, we are going to miss the plane.”

He is Kang Xi's agent. A competent agent must do the following two things: First, let the artist he is in charge of be on the cover of the best fashion magazine. Second, step onto the The Oscars red carpet.

There is still a long way for most Chinese artists to embark on The Oscars red carpet, but being featured on the cover of the Chinese edition of the top international fashion magazine has become one of the self-evaluation standards of domestic artist agents.

Most people regard managers as people with the power to control their artist's life and death, that they always quarrel with their artists while counting money, and many of them were even branded vampires.

So, can you imagine the patience managers have?

Geng b.u.mei will tell you, that's all bulls.h.i.t.

Has there been an agent who would dare to waste his time in the artist's living room instead of going upstairs to wake him up just to catch a plane?

He's not sure of other artists and agents, but he does know, at least in Kang Xi's case, he didn't have the guts!

Wei Bao offered a word of comfort, "You know he's cantankerous when he gets up, who would dare wake him up, don't you know he'd hit whoever touches him!"

Geng b.u.mei resisted the urge to curse, "Hypoglycemia should cure him!”

Kang Xi's grouchiness upon waking up is widely known in the circle. Waking up with an empty stomach renders him suffering from a mild hypoglycemia. People with a little medical knowledge know that hypoglycemia can easily cause tension. This is the time when his mood is the worst and he's particularly fond of sleeping it off. Whoever dares to disturb him in his dreams is equivalent to stepping on his tail and directly frizzing his hair to show you the consequences.

There was once a new a.s.sistant who was in the dark about his habits. In fear that he'd be missing a show, he went into the room and yelled at him to get up. The instant he blinked his eyes open, in accordance to the a.s.sistant's tale, he seemed to have clapped eyes with his flashing green eyes, which were the spitting image of the devil, followed by a flying vase, that flew too fast he had no time to duck, and thus rounded him off to the hospital with a gash on the head.

However, this disposition is only limited to his days off. He can stay up for three days and three nights while filming.

Absolutely extremes!

Wei Bao brewed a cup of chrysanthemum tea for Geng b.u.mei to simmer down and be at ease.

After Geng b.u.mei took a sip, he asked, "What are you doing here today, is there something wrong with the studio?”

Wei Bao replied, "There are several contracts for him to inspect."

The so-called studio is naturally Kang Xi's own studio.

Generally speaking, stars open studios under the contracts signed with their agencies, which is a more common model in the circle. Using the star's fame and influence and borrowing the company's resources for personal integration, the benefits are also divided with the original company, this is the prototype of star studios. Both parties to the cooperation are familiar with the entertainment industry's operating procedures, and with no shortage of funds, they can maximize resources allocation and achieve a win-win situation.

In the entertainment industry, standing under a tall tree and enjoying the shade is commonplace. 

However, Kang Xi started his studio in his own name.

Thus, earning money as his own boss.

Kang Xi became independent after his contract with the original company expired three years ago.

Of course, this model only applies to big-name stars. Because the “big shots” are highly influential and have a huge fan base, they can attract high-quality entertainment resources at the same time display their business ac.u.men, albeit the risks they bear are also greater along with the relatively increase in costs.

As "Big Shots" have their own portals, artist investors also emerged.

As investors, they value the star's brand effect and the vitality of the entertainment industry and are responsible for capital injection. The celebrities on the flip side use their own resources to find scriptwriters, directors, and other partners in the circle. For example, they can be producers, they can also be directors, or they can continue shooting films and television dramas.

Wei Bao is an investor of Kang Xi's Studio. In addition, in the early stages of the studio's establishment, most stars would be faced with a series of problems. The unfamiliarity of the work content, nature, and process, may cause obstacles in the early stages. He would help in managing all of these. 

He and Kang Xi are childhood friends. His name is Wei Bao, but everyone calls him Xiao Bao, and so the "Kang Xi and Xiao Bao" alliance successfully clicked.

Geng b.u.mei later joined in and met them in high school. Later, the three studied in the same university.

Geng b.u.mei's patience was wearing thin as moments pa.s.sed by. He doesn't know what evil he had done in his past life to have caught such a wayward master.

As thoughts of risking his life and going upstairs to wake up Kang Xi circled in his mind, Nuomi jumped out of the apartment's elevator happily. 

Geng b.u.mei felt as if he had seen G.o.d. 

Kang Xi slowly walked out of the elevator, Now that he's fully awake, naturally he's in a better mood.
