"Son, if you have this idea, Mom will think of a way."
Lin Shenyu looked at Li Xiaowan with a face full of surprise and asked, "Mom, you really want me to act in Director Zhang's movie?"
To be honest, he was a little stunned amidst his surprise. He knew his own family's situation well. The biggest person in the whole company was Zhou Gongzi. However, Zhou Gongzi was about to leave Rong Xinda. Rong Xinda used to be a relatively well-known media company in China, with excellent works in movies and TV series. But now, his mother basically had the idea of making a name for herself and was focusing on TV series and the artist management chain.
I've never heard of my mom knowing Director Zhang. Do you think I don't know my mom's influence?
Li Xiaowan rolled her eyes. She knew Zhang Yimou, but she could never have a word with him.
“Son, what I mean is, I’ve met President Shen once, and maybe I can introduce you to him and see if there’s a chance to get you there. As for Director Zhang, don’t get your hopes up. Son, Mom doesn’t have that ability.”
"Mom, I'm not picky. If I can get into Longteng, I really won't be picky. Getting into Longteng is great!!!" Lin Shenyu was so happy that he could almost fly away. If he could get into Longteng, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future. Everyone knows how popular Longteng was last year. If he could get in, he would become famous.
Yang Dami, or rather Yang Xiaomi, standing to the side, had a sudden thought upon hearing this. Who wouldn't want such a good thing? Although Li Xiaowan had taken her in as her goddaughter, she wasn't stupid. She knew very well what Li Xiaowan could do to her. Now that she had signed with Rong Xinda, it was impossible for her to leave. Moreover, just because Li Xiaowan could help her own son didn't mean she could help her as well.
Although Yang Xiaomi is new to the entertainment industry, having grown up in a rural alley, she understands that to become famous, she must climb the ladder step by step. She doesn't have many advantages; she's not considered particularly beautiful. (At this time, Yang Xiaomi was still a young, inexperienced woman.) Her only advantage was her large breasts. But that was useless; at this stage, large breasts were not an advantage.
These days, acting skills are what matter most. There are plenty of beautiful women out there. Leaving aside the "Four Dan and Two Bing" (referring to four top actresses and two top actresses from the same industry), there are also Li Xiaoran, Xu Qing, Zeng Li, Liu Yifei, Liu Shishi, Yan Danchen, Li Caihua, Gwei Lun-mei, and Fan Bingbing from Longteng Entertainment. They are all currently popular actresses, each looking like a celestial being. This has instantly raised the bar for aesthetic standards in the industry.
To fight her way through this group, Yang Xiaomi felt she needed to come up with a solution. She had heard that South Korea had excellent plastic surgery techniques. Yang Xiaomi touched her square face, which was her major flaw.
He was perfectly fine when he was little, so why did he suddenly become so panicked?
As he spoke.
All the artists from Longteng were there, and the fans below the stage screamed and cheered wildly. First up was Fan Xiaopang. With the release of "The Legend of Wu Zetian," he completely overshadowed Alyssa Chia, who had previously played the role of the Empress. At present, Alyssa Chia is considered the most popular actress in the TV drama industry. She is the top choice in Taiwan and is very popular in China. Gao Yuanyuan can only play supporting roles.
Both are about Wu Zetian, but "The Empress of China" focuses on simple love and lacks Wu Zetian's domineering presence. However, "The Legend of Wu Zetian" truly portrays Wu Zetian's life. Zheng Xiaolong personally directed the series, and Fan Bingbing also had the opportunity to participate. Knowing this was her chance, she did everything herself. If she didn't understand something, she did exactly what Zheng Xiaolong told her to do, never complaining about the hard work. She even stayed up late reviewing her lines. Her co-stars included veteran actors like Chen Daoming, Wang Gang, Zhang Guoli, and Zhang Tielin.
Big production, star-studded cast, perfect scriptwriting team, excellent costumes, props, and sets, and even the best cameras imported from the United States. It immediately ignited viewership ratings in China, raising the overall quality of domestic film and television by several levels.
Then there's Liu Yifei. At her age, she's a top-tier TV drama star. One of her dramas, Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, and The Return of the Condor Heroes are already classics. The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3 is about to be released. In terms of popularity, she can be considered the number one in the country, with nearly a million real registered fans.
Then there's Li Caihua, in "The Temptation of Going Home," with her characters Pinru, Ellie, and Hong Shixian—this trio was truly phenomenal. It captivated the attention of women nationwide, drawing them in from start to finish. The story of the mistress taking over, Pinru's subsequent comeback, and the typical melodramatic romance in Chinese urban dramas offered a fresh perspective.
Then there's Yan Danchen, who played Su Tan'er, the female lead in the new time-travel drama "The Son-in-Law". Yan Danchen became an instant sensation.
Li Xiaoran, Xu Qing, Zeng Li, and Gwei Lun-mei all went their separate ways, but they all followed the path of becoming film actresses.
