Chapter 133 Poaching an Agent
Then she got dressed up, Michelle took Rachel into the ball.
There were indeed directors and stars that she only saw on TV before. Rachel had to admit that her
resources were too limited.
As soon as they entered, Michelle Li, whom Rachel met at the award ceremony yesterday came over
with a glass of champagne.
"Miss Rachel, where is Mr. Clark?" Michelle Li looked at Michelle beside Rachel and asked with
curiosity.
With a faint smile, Rachel replied, "Mr. Clark is too busy to come here."
Michelle Li's clothes today were much more conservative than yesterday's. Rachel found that she was
much more beautiful than she was yesterday.
Michelle Li pulled Rachel aside and said with a smile, "Thank you for saving me out yesterday, or I
would be so humiliated."
"It's not a big deal," Rachel replied casually.
It was a piece of cake for Rachel, but it was the life-saving straw for Michelle Li.
After all, as a public figure, stars were most afraid of being embarrassed.
Just a few words from netizens could get them into trouble.
"Anyway, I owe you one this time," Michelle Li said as she smiled.
With a smile, Rachel took a glance at her dress and said, "The dress you are wearing today is much
better than what you did yesterday."
Michelle Li just smiled at Rachel but said nothing. She then walked away slowly.
Michelle moved closer to Rachel, saying, "I will take you to see some big shots."
"Okay." Although Rachel did not like this kind of occasion, she knew that it was time for her to learn to
adapt.
Michelle led Rachel to a director, raising her glass and smiled, introducing, "Rachel, this is the most
famous director in Beijing, Richard Mao."
Rachel hurriedly reached out her hand and smiled at Richard enthusiastically, saying, "Director
Richard, nice to meet you."
Richard had experienced a lot of such scenes before. He knew that Michelle was under Clark, so he
reached out his hand to Rachel and said, "Hello, Miss Rachel, I've seen your movies. I don't think
you're experienced enough."
Stunned, Rachel couldn't believe her ears? Did Richard just turn her down?
"Work harder. There are more chances for you in the future!" Richard continued.
"Thank you for your words." With a faint smile, Rachel stood up and left.
Michelle tried to comfort Rachel, "Don't worry. You're still young and you just started your career. These
directors have already met many new actors like you. It's normal for them to be perfunctory."
Rachel nodded.
Michelle then took her to other big shots. But everyone seemed to be indifferent to her, except for some
stars who had fewer resources than her.
All in all, Rachel began to feel tired and uncomfortable with a social intercourse.
It turned out that it was not easy to expand the resources.
Sitting by Rachel, Michelle said to her sincerely, "It is not as simple as you think to be in the
entertainment circle. The reason you become very famous today is all because of Mr. Clark's
protection.
If one day you have to do it on your own and think it through, you will encounter a lot of situation like
today, with a lot of difficulties ahead."
Hearing that, Rachel nodded firmly, stating, "I will have to do it alone one day! No matter how hard the
road ahead is, I can only walk on my own legs. I can't go far if I rely on others."
Michelle admired her courage very much, saying, "If you need any help, please let me know. I am
always here for you!"
Rachel nodded.
In fact, she could only get a picture of the future in her mind, but she couldn't locate it clearly. So she
had no choice but to keep thinking about it.
Seeing that Rachel was a little tired, Michelle stood up to have a talk with someone alone.
After a while, a man came over with a glass of wine and sat beside Rachel.
"Nice to meet you, Miss Rachel. My name is Randall Ji, and I'm the agent of Logan entertainment," the
man introduced himself as he sat down in front of her.
"Randall?" Rachel became slightly interested in him, asking, "How do you know me?"
Without hiding his admiration for Rachel, Randall continued, "I have watched your movie, 'Life in the
Republic of China'. I think that you are a very promising female star."
"So what?" Rachel signaled him to go on.
Randall smiled and said, "It's said that Miss Rachel hasn't joined any of the entertainment companies,
and you only signed the contract with the Ji Group. But as far as I know, the Ji Group doesn't specially
develop a company in the entertainment industry, which will definitely affect your future.
Therefore, I hope you can join Logan entertainment. We will provide you the most generous resources.
May I know your opinion?"
After talking for a long time, Rachel finally realized that Randall was here to poach her.
"My contract hasn't been due yet," said Rachel apologetically.
Randall smiled lightly. "It doesn't matter. I can wait."
Stunned, Rachel asked, "Why do you trust me so much?"
Randall nodded and stated, "I think you are quite promising. If you have good resources, you will be
the next best leading actress in both movie and TV play.
Unfortunately, I've heard some of your rumors about yourself. Although Mr. Clark has plenty of
resources, he hasn't tailored the future development path for you. He's not a full-time agent. With your
growing demands, I believe that only a professional agent can better serve you in the future."
With her eyes blinking, Rachel asked in curiosity, "What if I hire you?"
"Ah?" Randall asked in surprise.
"Yes, I've thought about everything you said. Now I really need a professional agent with good
resources, because I intend to work on my own as soon as the contract is due." Rachel explained as
she nodded.
"You're going to set up a studio on your own?" Randall was even more surprised.
Rachel nodded seriously, replying, "Yes, you're right. There will always be various restrictions if I
belong to some company. Sometimes we have to do something out of our own willingness. So why not
start from scratch? You will be free and the salary you earn will not be divided into one part to the
company, why not?"
A glimmer of surprise flashed through his eyes. Randall stated, "I thought Miss Rachel was only good-
looking, but I didn't expect you to be such a courageous person. I really appreciate you."
"You don't have to answer it in a hurry," said Rachel. with a faint smile, she continued, "Anyway, the
contract will expire over a year later, so we have enough time to know each other. It won't be late for us
to make a decision until the last moment."
Randall raised his glass, clicked the wine glass with Rachel's and smiled, saying, "Okay, cheers!"
When Michelle came back, Randall had already left.
If she knew that Randall was here to poach Rachel, but the latter tried to hire him, she would be
shocked.
In fact, although Michelle had a strong ability, she did not have many connections. She was not able to
pave the way for a better future for Rachel.
Thus, Rachel had already decided to hire an experienced agent to take care of everything for her.
She had to prepare for the mission ahead of time.
"Rachel, are you okay?" seeing that Rachel was in a daze, Michelle quickly asked.
Her words brought her back to her senses. Rachel shook her head and said, "Is the banquet over?
Let's go home."
Michelle nodded.
On her way back, Rachel kept thinking about what would he do if Clark knew that she wanted to get rid
of him?
Even though Amanda was on her side, it didn't mean that Clark was willing to give up his power.
In a blink of an eye, it was time to shoot "Light of Peace".
The day before the film was shooting, the producer invited the director and every important actors and
actresses to dinner.
As the heroine, Rachel must attend such an important occasion.
When she showed up, she was surprised to find that Clark was also there.
Didn't the Ji Group invest in this movie, did it? Why was Clark here?
When she saw director Bob, who was standing beside Clark, Rachel immediately understood what
happened.
Director Bob was one of Clark's good friends. It was natural for him to invite Clark to attend such an
occasion.
When Bob saw Rachel, he immediately arranged her to sit next to Clark. "Miss Rachel, we meet again.
What a coincidence!"
Her words brought her back to her senses. Rachel shook her head and said, "Is the banquet over?
Let's go home."
Michelle nodded.
