Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life Chapter 1330 - 1319: Siblings

Duan Minghui and Lin Fei almost ran their legs off for the sake of their two children, so naturally they didn’t have time to trouble Duan Yunquan. With his own strong abilities, he quickly took control of Mingfei Entertainment and even changed its name to Four Siblings Entertainment.

People assumed he named it after the Duan siblings; some praised him for being grateful and affectionate, while others said he was pretentious and trying to boost his status in the Duan Family. But then they remembered his operation of kicking Lin Fei out of the board, which was quite puzzling.

Anyway, no matter what, Four Siblings Entertainment is now under his control, and together with the entertainment company he established earlier, he can now be considered a big shot in the industry.

"I have a big female lead Xianxia drama here, are you interested?" That day, Duan Yunquan called his little sister Yu Zhijing, offering a huge opportunity right away.

"Is it the adaptation of the novel called ’Ascension’ that the company acquired earlier?" Yu Zhijing asked excitedly.

"Yeah, I checked, and the copyright expires in two years. By the time filming, post-production, and release are done, it will fit perfectly within that time. If you want, I’ll give you the lead role."

"Second Brother, my contract isn’t with your company. The shareholders won’t agree to give me such a big opportunity, will they?" Yu Zhijing asked, half amused and half touched.

"They wouldn’t dare disagree."

"Thank you, Second Brother." Yu Zhijing’s voice was choked with emotion. How lucky she was to have three siblings protecting her since childhood? Sometimes she thought, if it weren’t for her siblings, she might have already crumbled under the so-called ’forced love’ of her biological parents.

Especially now that her siblings were capable, even if her agent was giving her poor opportunities, she would never lack good ones with her siblings around.

Not to mention Third Sister asked her to be present at an event, and Big Brother had said he wanted her to be the spokesperson for his company’s game. Now Second Brother was directly giving her a major film with a strong female lead; how could she not feel blessed?

Yu Zhijing knew the novel ’Ascension’ because it was very popular a few years ago. She had even read it based on others’ recommendations. In those years, male-centric Xianxia novels dominated the online literature circle, while the female category revolved around romance until ’Ascension’ came along.

Some said it was the most qualified pioneering female narrative novel, and others said it was both a pioneer and a peak, saying there wouldn’t be another novel as brilliant within three years. It had been six years since the novel finished, yet no similar novel had surpassed it.

Back then, Mingfei Entertainment spent heavily to acquire the film rights, but due to constant controversy over the female lead and high expected investment, it hadn’t started filming until Duan Yunquan brought it out for Yu Zhijing today.

Yu Zhijing could already foresee that the news of this novel being adapted would certainly cause a storm, and she would undoubtedly face skepticism.

After all, she was not even seventeen yet, and had mostly been in quick and messy dramas before. By then, she would surely face ridicule from netizens, but the benefits would outweigh the downsides.

Such a high-profile show, her company and agent wouldn’t refuse. Her only task was to study the script during this time, carefully refining the female lead’s scenes, and not letting Second Brother down.

"When you sign the contract with your company, I’ll request for you to clear a year for filming. Don’t worry," Duan Yunquan added.

Yu Zhijing frowned, "A year? I’m afraid my company won’t allow me that much time off. They’ve been accustomed to exploiting me; a year could earn them significant money."

"As long as the pay is higher, it won’t be a problem. Plus, you have to take your college entrance exam in a year, so if they reject ’Ascension’ and give you lots of low-quality scripts, netizens might bash them for it. You can also tell your agent that once you’re an adult, you’ll have control over your contracts. Would they prefer to promote a scandal-ridden starlet or an actress with both works and popularity?"

"Second Brother, you’re so sly." Yu Zhijing laughed because they both knew that once she was an adult, not only would she not renew her contract, she would also sue them for child labor abuse.

"I know what to do. Thank you, Second Brother, for everything." Before hanging up, Yu Zhijing sincerely thanked him.

Indeed, soon after this conversation, her agent Sister Ming agreed to take on this role for her. However, while she was excited, she was also a bit skeptical. Sister Ming squinted at her and asked, "Four Siblings Entertainment has several big-name actresses, why would they offer you their resources? The lead role in ’Ascension’ is something even those big names would vie for if word got out."

Yu Zhijing calmly handled Sister Ming’s scepticism: "Remember when I went to an event to cut the ribbon for a pastry shop? I met Mr. Duan there, and he said he’d grown up watching my shows and variety programs and has always liked me."

"Oh, that’s why." Sister Ming didn’t suspect anything, as she had everything about Yu Zhijing under her watch, making any other surprises impossible.

She was particularly pleased, giving her specific instructions: "Although Mr. Duan is the Duan family’s illegitimate child, he’s still a member of the Duan Family, and quite influential in our circle. Since he thinks so highly of you, you should keep in touch with him, understood? Don’t argue with me again."

"Okay." Yu Zhijing nodded gently.

Sister Ming gave her a questioning look, then nodded knowingly. After all, she was at the age of a girl’s first love, and Mr. Duan was handsome. Before, she might not agree, but now that Mr. Duan had shown such intention, it was understandable that she would be moved. Even though the benefactor she was paired with differed from her earlier picks, at least Yu Zhijing was not rejecting the idea outright anymore.

Meanwhile, Yu Zhijing thought to herself that she finally had a legitimate reason to get away from her agent and the bodyguards to visit her brothers.

When she happily shared the news with her siblings, little did she expect it would cause trouble for Second Brother.

"Benefactor? Quite the show you’re putting on." Big Brother Ye Cheng sneered.

"Misunderstanding, it’s all a misunderstanding." Duan Yunquan pleaded in their group chat, "I really just wanted to give Little Sister resources. Why would I sexually exploit her?"

"I don’t care what your intentions are. If any news harms Little Sister’s reputation, I won’t hesitate to settle things with you." Ye Cheng threatened.

Duan Yunquan continuously pledged, "It won’t happen. I promise the news won’t leak. Besides, if I meet Little Sister, wouldn’t you all be there too? How could any rumors spread?"

As the two brothers playfully teased each other, Ye Qiu and Yu Zhijing just kept laughing, feeling that life was truly wonderful now. In two years, when Little Sister was free, they would finally be truly free and happy!
