When he pushed open the door of the private room, the first thing Zhou Yiyang saw was a woman with short hair who looked smart and capable.
She was sitting on a chair. When she saw Zhou Yiyang, she stood up and greeted him with a polite smile.
"Hello, Mr. Zhou." Miss Huang waited until Zhou Yiyang sat down opposite her before greeting him warmly.
"Hello," Zhou Yiyang nodded. "I wonder what Miss Huang wants to talk to me about."
Yesterday, Zhou Yiyang received an email from Douwa Entertainment. He had heard of Douwa Entertainment, a well-established entertainment company in Taiwan that had produced many popular artists.
Although its status has become increasingly lower in recent years as Taiwan's entertainment industry has declined overall, it still has a lot of resources at its disposal.
So Zhou Yiyang took this email, which wanted to arrange a meeting with him to seek cooperation, very seriously. However, the email did not tell him the specific content of the cooperation, which made Zhou Yiyang very curious from the beginning.
"You should know me, right?" Miss Huang leaned back in her chair, casually crossing her legs, her fingers sliding through her bangs. She wasn't particularly pretty, but her every move was filled with confidence.
Zhou Yiyang, who hadn't done any research beforehand, had no idea who the person in front of him was. But since he was representing Douwa Entertainment in negotiating a partnership, he must be someone of high status.
So Zhou Yiyang immediately imitated those exaggerated aunts and uncles: "You are, you are the one... Yes, yes, I know you!"
It was a pity that Zhou Yiyang only learned how to be a director from the system, not an actor. His poor acting skills embarrassed the confident Miss Huang and even made her a little unhappy.
"It's normal not to know them," she said with a fake smile, "I used to be a well-known agent in the industry. Geek Boy, you know, I was their agent. And last year's popular newcomer Ran Tianzhen is also my artist."
Zhou Yiyang had heard of these two names.
The former was a popular group in China, with several of their songs still topping KTV song charts. However, they are now out of fashion and only get mentioned on variety shows to promote nostalgia.
Ran Tianzhen, a character Zhou Yiyang had mentioned through Wang Xingrui, is a woman who loves online novels. Last year, Ran Tianzhen played the male lead in a major female-oriented IP, instantly rising from a tier-one celebrity to a popular star. Most enviably, the endorsements and film and television resources he secured were far superior to many top-tier mainland Chinese stars.
These are the advantages of Douwa Entertainment, the big brother from Taiwan.
Could it be that they wanted to acquire him? Zhou Yiyang would definitely not agree to that.
"I didn't expect that you, Sister Huang, look so young but actually have such impressive experience. I really admire you, Senior."
Miss Huang snorted, seemingly pleased by Zhou Yiyang's words: "It's okay. The air over there is better than in the mainland, so I look younger. But I came here for 101. You may not know that my newly signed artist also participated in 101."
Zhou Yiyang might not have known about this at first, but now he knows who this artist is! This explains why Xiaolei was chosen by "Beauty". She has Formosa Capital behind her!
"Xiao Lei's popularity is steadily increasing, and the fan base of Bai Yueguang and the other three is also growing. I'm very optimistic about them." Miss Huang first reluctantly praised Bai Yueguang, "Plus, they are all close in age. If they can create a couple, it will benefit both sides."
Zhou Yiyang opened his mouth wide and looked at Miss Huang in disbelief.
Did he hear it right? CP hype?
He is not a caveman, and he knows that many traffic stars nowadays will hype up couples, and they are all same-sex couples, which is especially common in idol groups.
But usually when you do this, one party will be sucked blood.
Judging from the current situation, the popularity of the four Bai Yueguangs is obviously higher than that of Xiaolei. Isn't this CP hype just to use Xiaolei as a blood bag?
Does Douwa Entertainment think that he, a young new boss, is not smart enough?
However, Miss Huang didn't care what Zhou Yiyang was thinking at all. She seemed to be very enthusiastic about this proposal and had already started to analyze and arrange the combinations with real feelings:
"There are three main couples in the fan circle right now: Sweet and Sour, which is Tang Yue and Chu Tianjiao. Crispy Sugar: Su Yin and Tang Yue. Sweet Heart: Tang Yue and Wang Xingrui. Tang Yue is considered the golden pumpkin of 101, and almost everyone wants to pair her with them. However, the three royal couples have so many fans that even if Xiaolei and Tang Yue were paired together, it would be hard to beat them. So I think it's good to be with Lin Xuan'er. We had some conflicts at the beginning, but we're in the same group for the performance, and the plot is very rich."
Zhou Yiyang listened to Miss Huang's "well-reasoned" analysis very gentlemanly, and finally had to remind her: "I don't think I said that I have agreed to hype CP, right?"
At this time, Miss Huang sneered and showed an expression that said, "Are you stupid?" "How could you refuse a mutually beneficial cooperation? We are Douwa Entertainment. The resources we have are far different from those of a new company like Yiyang.
Yes, Xiaolei's popularity isn't high enough right now, but we can offer something in exchange. I have a few web dramas on hand, and if you agree, I can let Bai Yueguang's cast join the cast directly after the competition."
"Give it to our heroine?" Although Zhou Yiyang still had a smile on his face, he rolled his eyes countless times in his heart.
Putting aside whether or not such empty promises will be fulfilled, aren't you, Douwa Entertainment, too stingy? They were dismissed with just a few web series, and judging by Ms. Huang's demeanor, it's likely she'll only have a few supporting roles.
As expected, Miss Huang picked up her teacup and said, "Mr. Zhou, it's not just the female lead that makes you famous; it depends on how good the role is. There's a web drama with some really good supporting actresses, and most people wouldn't be able to get in! And now that you're with Douwa Entertainment, we won't treat you unfairly in the future."
"Although it sounds good," Zhou Yiyang finished eating the most expensive steak and stood up. "But I always respect my artists. I won't force them to do something they don't like. So, I'm sorry, Miss Huang."
"You really don't agree?" Miss Huang's face was completely gloomy. She had originally thought that Zhou Yiyang should be grateful for her coming here to have dinner with him. She didn't expect him to be so ungrateful!
If she hadn't used all her marketing methods, Xiaolei's popularity would not have improved, and she wouldn't have taken such an unconventional approach.
"From now on, as long as it's Douwa Entertainment's resources, Yiyang Entertainment's people will probably exclude them directly."
However, Zhou Yiyang had already left without looking back.
