Top Star: Journey To Become A Global Star - Chapter 291
Chapter 291. Future? (1)
When Ren had joined Top star entertainment, he had signed a contract for three years as that was the shortest contract he can get at that time and as his first movie still hadn’t released at that time, he didn’t have much power for negotiations.
He wasn’t that big at that time.
But now, he was a big star with hit movies and dramas under his belt.
His first hit drama was «The stars above» and after that, he played the lead in the big budget «Heirs» which also went on to become a hit drama.
His second movie «A born star» made him famous in overseas too and currently, he was the most bankable young actor in the whole China and many top agencies want him.
For record, he had already got an offer from Phoenix entertainment, but at that time, he had rejected it.
Now, CEO Xu wanted to talk about his future.
‘Future, huh…’
It was a word that had many meanings for Ren. The future he knows had already changed drastically and now, he was making his own future.
But…
What would come next now?
‘My contract only had one year left. Should I renew my contract? Or get into a new agency?’
Various thoughts filled Ren’s mind as he thought about that. CEO Xu’s single sentence had made his tiredness flew away and he was thinking about his future.
Most probably, he would choose a new project after «Slayers» and there was his mini album release too.
His contract would probably end during all this…
“So, what do you think?”
Ren came back from his thoughts when CEO Xu asked that. He hesitated to open his mouth, but he gradually replied.
“I, I don’t think I can answer it yet.”
It was a tough decision and although, there wasn’t much to think, Ren still didn’t want to make a hasty decision.
His contract still have a year left, so there was no need to think about it much yet.
“Well, I don’t expect you to reply in an instant anyway. It was a tough decision for a celebrity and I bet you got many offeres from other agencies too.”
When CEO Xu looked at Ren with upturned eyes and a curved smile on her face, a chill ran down his spine.
‘Do she know that I got an offer from President Zhang of Phoenix entertainment?’
Ren thought in his mind, but he quickly shook his head. It was highly unlikely that President Zhang would openly say that he offered a contract to him.
And the second person that knew about it was Xiao Rin, who was listening to their talk back then, but he didn’t felt like she would tell it to someone.
“Seeing your reaction, I think you did get some offers.”
CEO Xu said seeing his expression, but he just shook his head.
“One or two, but I already rejected them.”
“You are only getting one or two offers currently, but once you enter the free-agent market, there would be tons of offers.”
Ren nodded his head at that.
He also knows that agencies won’t leave him after his contract ended. CEO Xu continued talking after glancing at Ren once.
“Think about renewing your contract when you have time. I know it’s early for you to think about it, but I can promise you something if you decided to renew the contract.”
“Promise?”
Ren stared back at her with surprise hearing that. Was she bribing him or enticing him to renew the contract?
CEO Xu continued when Ren was thinking like that.
“Yeah, something that you would really like.”
She leaned back on her chair while saying that and put one of her legs above another. Then, she looked at Ren with a look that says that she can read all his thoughts.
“What do you think about entering Hollywood?”
“H-hollywood?”
Ren was really shocked hearing that. Hollywood – World’s top movie industry and the place where all Global stars gather.
It was the dream of every small, big and aspiring celebrity to take a step into Hollywood one day and CEO Xu was currently offering Ren a chance to step into the industry called Hollywood.

“What did you say? Brother Ren is back!!”
Xiao Rin shouted and asked Chief Han who was sitting next to her. The road manager that was driving the car also seemed surprised hearing her shout and looked back for a moment.
“Yes, his flight landed this afternoon.”
“I didn’t heard about it. There was not even an article about it.”
Xiao Rin said, glancing at her phone. Usually, she would just check her phone to see if there was any new news about Ren, but there was nothing about his arrival.
“He came back secretly. You know he don’t like media taking photos of him 24/7. That’s why, he came back secretly. I also just got the news from White bear.”
Chief Han explained and Xiao Rin’s expression changed quickly. They were not able to meet as they were in different places, but now, they are in the same city.
She won’t miss this chance!
“Chief Han, where is he currently?”
Chief Han sighed when he heard that. He knew Xiao Rin was going to ask this. That’s why, he was reluctant to tell her this news.
But he knew that she would have found out about it one way or another anyway.
“Xiao Rin, you can’t meet with him currently. He must be tired after the flight.”
“Ah, you are… right!”
Xiao Rin’s expected expression quickly became worse. Although she wanted to meet him, she also knew that Ren would be tired after the flight.
Still, she was not able to stop herself from frowning.
“Well, actually… he’s currently in the company.”
Chief Han said, seeing her sad expression and Xiao Rin turned towards him at the speed of light.
“He’s in the company?”
“Yeah, the CEO wanted to talk to him, so he directly went to the company.”
“So, he must be still there.”
Chief Han nodded his head and Xiao Rin immediately opened her mouth to tell the road manager to take her to the company.
