Chapter 1489 Yin Meixing Joins the LXC Studio Family
Unlike the contracts with Ren Jiyu and the national shooting team which took a long time due to the National Athletes Association's interference, LXC Studio managed to finalize the contract with Yin Meixing without any delays.
Since Yin Meixing was now considered a free agent after her management company became bankrupt, she had the sole authority to decide for herself. She didn't make any excessive demands, only requesting to have the final say when it came to choosing work obligations.
LXC Studio immediately agreed and even offered her the highest-level contract that they could offer. If she signed it, she would immediately become LXC Studio's most important managed talent besides Jin Chonglin and Iris Long.
But Jin Chonglin and Iris Long both had additional identities in the company. Besides being the company's flagship artists, they were also the co-owners of LXC Studio with CEO Jin Liwei.
Being on the same level as the co-owners of the company flattered Yin Meixing. It was then that she realized LXC Studio's sincerity. She didn't hesitate and agreed to sign with the company.
LXC Studio arranged a lavish signing ceremony for Yin Meixing which was many times more extravagant than when they signed Ren Jiyu and the national shooting team. All the major media outlets were invited.
This time, all the company owners were present.
Jin Chonglin arrived first followed by the power couple, Iris Long and CEO Jin Liwei.
When they arrived, the cameras flashed nonstop.
Lin Dong, LXC Studio's Chief of Talent Management and Jin Chonglin's long-time manager, was present alongside Tang Yiyi, the Deputy Chief of Talent Management and also Iris Long's manager.
The emcee began the ceremony by welcoming everyone and introducing the important administrative figures in LXC Studio. Then he finally welcomed the star of today's signing ceremony.
"Let us all stand up and give the warmest welcome to the incredibly talented international-award-winning Best Actress, YIN MEIXING!!!"
Everyone stood up and clapped their hands.
Yin Meixing, now looking more sophisticated, appeared and walked toward the stage. She wore a charming smile as she waved at everyone. When she reached the stage, she headed toward Iris first.
Iris held out her hand to shake but Yin Meixing pulled her into a tight hug instead.
"Thank you," Yin Meixing whispered in her ear.
Iris smiled and patted her back. "No, thank YOU for choosing our LXC Studio."
They had no time to chat for too long. Yin Meixing gave Iris' arms a final squeeze before shaking hands with Jin Liwei, Jin Chonglin, Lin Dong, Tang Yiyi and the other executives of LXC Studio.
Before the actual contract signing, Jin Chonglin made a quick but impassioned speech about how LXC Studio welcomes Yin Meixing as part of their family. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Iris spoke next.
"I first met Yin Meixing at the set of the film 'Strong Yet Broken'. I visited the set while they were filming so that I could better understand the emotions of the characters and incorporate them into my compositions for the film's soundtrack. I've witnessed firsthand how hardworking and dedicated Yin Meixing is when it comes to work. She immerses herself in her character. She doesn't simply channel the character. She becomes the character. It's amazing! I've always admired her acting skills. And now I'm extremely ecstatic and grateful that she chose LXC Studio as her next home. We will do our best to provide her with the best opportunities that we can offer, and hopefully, we can cooperate for a long time."
Finally, Yin Meixing shared her feelings about signing with LXC Studio.
"First of all, thank you everyone for coming today. I don't consider myself an A-lister. I'm just a simple actress who wants to work hard on improving my craft, and hopefully, the audience will love my portrayals of the characters I play. I've been in this industry for a long time, but for so many years since my debut, nobody knew who I was. I always played extras and struggled every day. But I love my job, so despite the lacklustre opportunities, I never gave up.
"It was only when I auditioned for an indie film that I was finally cast as the female lead. I was so excited, but our production encountered several financial issues. We almost gave up on the project due to helplessness, but the story was just too beautiful to let go.
"Then all of a sudden, a musician by the name of Iris Long entered the picture as the composer of our film's soundtrack. Shortly after her involvement with our film, a new company named LX Productions invested a large amount of money and solved all our financial issues. It turned out that CEO Jin was the owner of LX Productions. He only invested in us because of Iris Long. They weren't married yet at that time."
Everyone laughed at her anecdote. Not many knew about this story.
The reporters were already busy writing on their laptops and notepads, spinning Yin Meixing's anecdote as a fairy tale love story between the celebrity Iris Long and CEO Jin Liwei.
Yin Meixing continued, "To be honest with you, we didn't have the best impression of Iris Long. But after working with her, we learned that everything said about her on the web before wasn't true at all! She says that I'm hardworking and dedicated. I'll also say that she's the same. I can tell you right here, right now, that Iris Long is one of the most genuine people that I've ever met in my entire life.
"I also consider her as my lucky charm. Because let's be honest, without her amazing soundtrack and the investment of CEO Jin's LX Productions, then the film 'Strong Yet Broken' wouldn't even reach the heights it did at the Sommet International Film Festival. Then I wouldn't have won the Best Actress Award and gained widespread recognition. All the blessings that I'm enjoying right now is, in a big part, attributed to Iris Long. I trust her, and so I also trust her company."
She faced Iris, Jin Liwei, Jin Chonglin and the other company executives.
"Thank you for welcoming me to LXC Studio. I promise to work hard and prove to you that you didn't make a mistake in signing me today."
