"Do you want me to help you?" Song Xia ignored Xie Dong and looked at Song Xinghe seriously.
Song Xinghe's breathing became lighter, but she still said sincerely, "I hope you're happy, Mom, instead of sacrificing your own life to help me."
The agent, Xie Dong, was almost frantic. How could someone be so inflexible? And this person was one of his own artists. With Senior Song's help, it would be so much better. In the entertainment industry, who doesn't thrive with a powerful backer? At least they wouldn't lose the opportunity for fair competition.
Isn't it normal for a mother to pave the way for her daughter? Song Xinghe, don't be so sensible!
Seeing Xie Dong almost scream, Song Xia sighed softly: "After being out of the entertainment industry for so long, I don't know if my former friends and current netizens will still accept it. Let's give it a try for now."
Song Xing stared blankly at her, then her eyes gradually reddened. Afraid that Song Xia would notice, she quickly lowered her head.
Song Xia sighed inwardly, "This silly child..."
"But let me make this clear first, I won't do things according to your company's requirements. I will only help Xinghe in my own way, and you will need to cooperate with me if necessary." She looked sharply at Xie Dong. She was dissatisfied with the agency Xinghe was currently with. It had little strength, and the person in charge was cowardly. Otherwise, Xinghe wouldn't have ended up like that in her previous life.
Let's wait a bit longer. After all, I've been out of the entertainment industry for so many years. If I have the opportunity to acquire some shares in StarHub Entertainment, I can be in control myself and have more say. Since StarHub has decided to go down this path, I'll support them to the end. Nothing is more reassuring than having my own capital.
"How could our company dare to ask you for anything!" Xie Dong said obsequiously, his tone both questioning and probing. "But what's your first step? To help Xinghe get that role back?"
Song Xinghe was dissatisfied with his attitude and frowned deeply as she glanced at him.
Song Xia scoffed, but was too lazy to argue with him: "The rumors haven't been completely cleared up yet. To prevent haters from using this as leverage, we need to completely destroy that couple's reputation. Did you get the surveillance footage from the underground parking garage?"
"The property management said the surveillance cameras were broken at the time."
"And then you just stopped investigating? There weren't many cars in the underground parking garage at the time, but did you ask those car owners to bring their dashcams?"
"That place is full of luxury cars. Do you think those rich people will help us?"
"Does being rich make you back down? Do you think rich people are hard to get along with?" Song Xia was furious. No wonder Xinghe was repeatedly framed and wronged in her past life, and she was powerless to refute it. It turns out that the agency was so useless and cowardly!
"Go and contact those car owners quickly. Be polite, bring gifts, and explain the situation clearly. Although most wealthy families don't like things in the entertainment industry, they generally won't refuse to help out if it's a favor. Afterwards, thank them properly on Weibo."
Xie Dong's eyes lit up. How come he hadn't thought of that! Moreover, after publicly expressing his gratitude, it would be a way to boost the other person's reputation and career. If he was lucky, wouldn't that establish a connection?
No wonder she was a famous and wealthy actress who was renowned throughout mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong back then; she's really quick-witted.
Song Xia looked at him again with a warning: "Just do as I say, don't try anything funny."
"yes."
"Just focus on handling this matter well. Make sure to clear Xinghe of all his stains. Losing that role is no big deal. In the next few days, I'll take Xinghe to meet some of my old friends. Have the company's PR team make the necessary preparations."
Xie Dong was extremely excited: "I wonder which people Senior Song plans to take Xinghe to meet?"
Song Xia glanced at him indifferently: "You'll find out later. Hurry up and deal with the parking lot surveillance footage."
Xie Dong smiled awkwardly. Although he felt a little uncomfortable, what could he do when the other party was so famous? Even though he had been out of the entertainment industry for many years, his legendary experience was still there. As long as he said he wanted to take on more gigs, TV programs and advertisers would probably be waiting impatiently.
You're saying she has bad habits like keeping male models and smoking and drinking? Those are just bad habits of adults, not illegal. Compared to those law-abiding celebrities in the industry, she's far less morally upright.
After a series of legal scandals involving celebrities in the entertainment industry, netizens are now much more tolerant of celebrities' private lives and are no longer surprised. Coincidentally, there's still the public's interest in defending celebrities, and this is exactly the lifestyle that many netizens are pursuing! Which variety show wouldn't want to capitalize on this wave of popularity?
Nowadays, variety shows are flourishing in all aspects of the industry, and the production teams and advertisers have money. As long as she agrees, those production teams are happy to offer high prices.
It's true what they say, comparisons are odious. If Senior Song were to start taking on gigs now, I wonder how many gigs he would take away from so-called veteran actors. Even Gu Zhiya's mother, Qiao Leyi, would probably have a hard time.
Thinking this, Xie Dong was instantly happy. Although Senior Song's attitude was not good, Senior Song was promoting Song Xinghe, who was an artist in their company. In the end, wouldn't Song Xinghe make money for their company?
"Is this the agent you chose?" After everyone left, Song Xia looked at her daughter helplessly.
Song Xinghe looked embarrassed: "Although Brother Dong is not very considerate, he is not a bad person at heart. He will not force me to do things I don't want to do. In the entertainment industry, he is still considered good."
"Let's use it for now." Song Xia thought to herself that once the contract expires, or once she has shares in the agency, she will definitely replace Xie Dong. He is not good enough as an agent, but he is good enough as an assistant.
"Mom, are you really planning to get back into the industry to help me?" Finally, Song Xinghe mustered up the courage to ask.
Song Xia sighed softly: "I thought you were planning to keep it to yourself forever."
Song Xinghe fell silent again, his head hanging low as if he were at a loss.
"With this personality, it's no wonder you get bullied. I'm your mother. Although I don't like you stepping into this circle again, I won't just stand by and do nothing. Two years is enough to prove your determination."
Hearing this, Song Xinghe's eyes sparkled: "Thank you, Mom."
"No need to thank me." Song Xia paused for a moment, "It's kind of you that you haven't held a grudge against your irresponsible mother all these years."
“How could that be?” Song Xinghe hurriedly explained, “I know that you do care about me, Mom. You must have your own reasons. And compared to my peers, I am already very happy. At least you have never lacked any money for my studies or my education.”
Because of this, Song Xinghe was certain that her fragmented childhood memories were true and that her mother genuinely loved her.
After all, if she really didn't care, why would she have hired famous teachers to teach her from a young age? Whether it's academic learning or interest guidance, her teachers are the kind that are hard to find in the market. Even before she turned eighteen, her personal butlers were all top-notch butlers who graduated from the International Butler Academy. The reason she was taken such good care of by these people is precisely because her mother had to carefully find them.
