"Yes, yes."
Yuan Sitong winked at Xiao He: "Brother Xiao, how about we trade some of your gossip?"
Xiao He yawned, looking rather uninterested: "Oh, then forget it."
"Hey, no, no!"
Yuan Sitong felt a little annoyed, inwardly cursing Xiao He for being so clueless, even when it came to gossip, he had to be so secretive, it was utterly boring. But she still coughed lightly and said in a pretentious tone, "Fine, fine, considering we'll continue to work together, I'll tell you this gossip for free—"
"Taidong Entertainment, as you know, they have a lot of rules and they manage their artists very strictly."
"Yes, I know."
Xiao He nodded.
Much of his knowledge about Taidong Entertainment came from Liu Zehang.
At that time, Liu Zehang, as an artist under Taidong Entertainment, did not have much autonomy over the scripts he was given, and even had to mentor newcomers. So, when Liu Zehang had a falling out with his agent and wanted to terminate his contract, these were the reasons.
However, due to various considerations of interests, Liu Zehang still stayed at Taidong Entertainment.
However, Xiao He was well aware of Tai Dong Entertainment's "good reputation".
“Zhao Qinyuan’s performance has not been as good as before recently. Several scripts have cast him as a supporting actor to promote another popular actor in the company. So I guess he wants to take advantage of the popularity of ‘Chasing the Wind’ to switch companies.”
"Want to switch jobs? Not surprising."
If this happened to Xiao He, he would also try his best to switch jobs.
A TV series can take anywhere from a year to several years to finish. Who has that much time and youth to waste on someone else?
Taidong Entertainment's exploitative practices are not unique in the industry, and artists like Zhao Qinyuan who want to escape are certainly not the last.
Xiao He speculated, "So he wants to take a work and a script that's about to be filmed as leverage to switch to another company?"
An existing work, "The Wind Chaser," demonstrates his current value. Even if most of the profits from "The Wind Chaser" become a hit, the boost in popularity and traffic will be enormous. With fame, he can make a comeback even if he leaves with nothing.
A script awaiting filming demonstrates his future value. Although "Time Confrontation" is currently fraught with uncertainty, its overall value has recently increased, and its future is promising. It also indirectly proves his good relationship with Linghui Entertainment and has great investment value.
Which company does he want to work for?
Xiao He asked casually.
"I don't know," Yuan Sitong said, spreading her hands. "It's his own secret. How could an outsider like me possibly know?"
Xiao He glanced at her sideways: "You already guessed he switched jobs, how could you not know where he's planning to go? It wouldn't be Yunheng, would it?"
"That's such a misunderstanding! I won't let him work in the same company as me, or I'll really make a scene with my agent."
Yuan Sitong looked disgusted.
Xiao He: "Thinking about it, that makes sense."
Judging from Yuan Sitong's current state of avoiding him like the plague, Xiao He knew he had guessed wrong.
But it didn't matter; he wasn't that interested anyway.
