“Now, I want to ask for your opinion. Do you want to join my studio?” Yu Han asked Su Long. “If you’re unwilling, 1’11 still think of a way to force you into Starlight Entertainment as we agreed previously.”
Su Long thought for a moment. “Then I’ll follow you.”
On the other hand, Li Bing had just returned from shopping and happened to hear their conversation. Seeing that Su Long had actually given up the opportunity to enter a large company like Starlight Entertainment, he immediately said anxiously, “No, our Su Long is joking.”
When Su Long heard the voice, he looked at him disapprovingly. Just as he was about to say something, Li Bing gave him a crazed look, indicating for him not to speak.
Li Bing licked his lips and said to Yu Han, “Teacher Yu, thank you for always thinking for our Su Long. However, this change of management contract is not a small matter after all, so can you let us consider it again?”
Yu Han did not care about his attitude. She nodded and said, “Indeed, you should consider it carefully. 1’11 give you a few days. Tell me the answer after you’ve discussed it.”
After saying that, Yu Han thought of something, so she added, “Don’t worry. Whether you come to my studio or not, my previous promise will still count.”
It was obvious that Yu Han was trying her best to be sincere. This made Su Long feel even worse.
He looked at Li Bing with some resentment. “Brother Bing, you shouldn’t have stopped me just now.”
Li Bing let out a helpless “Aiyo”. “My silly boy, we haven’t even seen the shadow of Yu Han’s studio. It hasn’t even begun yet. Why are you in such a hurry to decide what to do? What if she doesn’t finish her studio and you lose another chance to enter Starlight Entertainment? Wouldn’t that be a huge loss?”
Although Li Bing did have some shortcomings in his personality, he was really good to Su Long. He basically considered problems from Su Long’s point of view.
Su Long lowered his head and looked at the green moss on the tiles. He whispered, “Brother Bing, actually, 1 don’t really want to enter Starlight Entertainment.”
Li Bing did not understand. “Didn’t you always want to enter a big company and expand your ambitions in the past? Now that the opportunity is finally in front of you, why are you moving backwards?”
Su Long smiled bitterly. “1 was young and insensible in the past. After these few years of polishing in the industry, you and 1 know very well that even if I sign with a big company, 1 might not get what 1 want.”
Although big companies had a lot of resources, they also signed a lot of artists. In a situation where there were too many boats chasing too few fish, the resources assigned to everyone were actually not that generous.
As newcomers, it was even harder for them to stand out in a big company because there were more famous seniors above them. Basically, the senior artists would choose a round of good resources before it was the junior artists’ turn.
Of course, Li Bing knew this too. However, for people like Su Long and Yuan Fei, who had no background, resources, or connections, although it was difficult for them to shine in a large company, it was equivalent to having a job guarantee for them.
After all, big companies did not keep idlers, so after signing artists, they would definitely find an opportunity to let the artists work. Even if those resources were inconspicuous and were all bit jobs, it could more or less guarantee that artists had work to do. If you were lucky enough, you might suddenly become popular in one of the bit jobs.
Even if the chances were not high, there was still a chance. Hence, Li Bing was more inclined to let Su Long sign with Starlight Entertainment.
“But 1 don’t want anyone else to be my manager.” Su Long finally said what was on his mind.
Su Long’s parents had divorced when he was very young. His mother married someone far away, and his father quickly married his stepmother. Then, he threw him to his grandma. From then on, Su Long’s father never asked about him. He did not even give him and Grandma any living expenses.
He was raised by Grandma on the street, sitting in front of the sewing machine. She helped others modify their clothes, be it rain or shine and earned a few yuan.
That day, Grandma fell on the street because of a sudden acute myocardial infarction and was sent to the hospital. The doctor said that it was best to perform bypass surgery on her. Otherwise, her condition would be very critical.
In order to gather nearly 100,000 yuan for the surgery, Su Long begged all the relatives he knew for a few days. He even put down his pride and went to his father’s house, which he had not seen for many years. He knelt in front of him and asked for his help.
In the end, he was still short of 30,000 yuan for the surgery fees..
