"One of the car owners was willing to give us their dashcam footage. Although the angle was a bit off, it still proved that Xinghe's expression was very cold at the time, and it was not the coercion and seduction that the young male star claimed." After two days of running around, Xie Dong finally found the evidence in the parking lot. Although the process was very frustrating, the result was gratifying. However, this also made him realize a truth: some things cannot be given up. How can you not know the results if you don't try?
He was too narrow-minded before. He speculated that the cars in the parking lot might not have captured the footage, and he worried that even if he went to their door, they wouldn't pay attention to him. In reality, although several people rejected him, one person still offered help in the end.
Therefore, he also felt somewhat guilty. No wonder Senior Song was dissatisfied with him. He was indeed a very incompetent manager. How could he give up so easily just because he was afraid?
Having already given him a warning once, Song Xia didn't press the matter further: "Now that they've found him, let him go. Don't let this escalate any further. Clarify the situation as soon as possible."
Xie Dong chuckled awkwardly: "We've already had the public relations department work together to prepare."
"Does your boss have time recently? There are some plans regarding Xinghe and the future that I'd like to discuss with your boss, along with my agent and Yueya."
"Is that Yue Ya from Shizi Entertainment?"
"Um."
"The agent is Zhao Xuehua, Sister Hua?"
"That's right."
Xie Dong gasped. He really couldn't make this decision. Shizi Entertainment was much stronger than their company. Back then, their top agent, Sister Hua, was a legendary figure in their agent circle, just like Senior Song.
I really didn't expect that in just two days, Senior Song found such a strong resource backer for Xinghe. Luckily, he signed Xinghe early on, otherwise, how could he have gotten a turn to share the spoils?
"I'll go talk to the boss right now, he'll be very happy."
Upon learning that Song Xinghe's future commercial film and television contracts might be in cooperation with Shizi Entertainment, Xie Dong's boss, Du Junfang, was overjoyed. He himself did not have a deep understanding of the operation of the entertainment industry. He was just lucky back then, and the two artists he signed happened to become popular, so the company was established.
However, as the contracts of those two artists either expired or they had to compensate the company and set up their own studios, the company began to decline. Now, the only artists they can still be proud of are Song Xinghe and another male star, both of whom are second-tier.
Because he was unclear about the rules of the entertainment industry and had a kind heart and didn't want the company's artists to accompany people for drinks, he avoided certain things as much as possible, fearing to offend people. Regarding Song Xing and the scandal he got involved in, he thought he would just wait for the hype to die down and then let it go. After all, which artist doesn't have some scandals these days?
Unexpectedly, things took an unexpected turn. This incident actually led to Song Xinghe's biological mother, the former Best Actress Song, getting involved. With Best Actress Song's protection, how could Song Xinghe not become famous?
Anyway, Song Xinghe's agency contract is with his own company. Whether Song Yinghou requests compensation to terminate the contract or finds other resources for Song Xinghe, he will still benefit. Fortunately, he maintained his bottom line back then and did not let Song Xinghe do anything excessive, otherwise, he would not be where he is today.
Song Xia suddenly felt that Xingheqian was a pretty good company. The boss was timid and easy to manipulate, and he also had a bottom line, so it should be easy to negotiate cooperation.
Sure enough, when Song Xia and Yue Ya said that Xinghe would be doing a publicity stunt with Lan Mengfan in the future, Du Junfang immediately stated that Song Xinghe's work would be entirely under their control, and Xie Dong would just have to cooperate.
When Song Xia took out the script she had written, his eyes lit up.
When Du Junfang first entered the entertainment industry, he couldn't stand the poorly made films and television dramas. So all the artists he signed had excellent acting skills. But once he actually entered the industry, he realized how difficult it was to film a TV series and successfully release it.
Gradually, his attitude became somewhat lax, which is why the company went downhill.
Upon seeing his expression, Yueya thought to herself, "Just as I thought, no one would not appreciate these two scripts."
When she first received the script yesterday, she was just casually reading it, thinking it wouldn't hurt. But after reading only the first few pages, she was captivated by the plot. Both scripts only showed half of the story, so she stayed up all night to finish reading them and became convinced that if the film was made according to the script, it would definitely be a hit.
In one of the idol dramas, she automatically imagined Lan Mengfan as the female lead. If Lan Mengfan were to play the role, and her acting were given some guidance from Senior Song, she couldn't imagine how popular Mengfan would become based on this drama.
Lan Mengfan has a large following, but her acting skills and breakout works have always been her weaknesses. If she could play the female lead in this drama, her reputation would definitely improve significantly.
Song Xia gave Du Junfang ten minutes, but even in those ten minutes, they could see quite a bit of the plot. Song Xia spoke slowly, "What does Mr. Du think of this script?"
"Fantastic!" Du Junfang exclaimed excitedly. "Senior Song, these two scripts are..."
"I wrote it."
"So, what are you going to do?"
"I plan to invite Lan Mengfan to play the female lead, and Wen Tian, a male artist under your company, will play the male lead."
Yue Ya felt a huge weight lifted off her shoulders. She hadn't expected that Senior Song would actually cast Meng Fan as the female lead. Such an excellent script was practically irreplaceable in the industry. As long as a good director was assigned, it would be a hit no matter who directed it. If Song Xinghe were the female lead, she would definitely rise directly from a second-tier to a first-tier actress.
As for the male lead, as the male lead of an idol drama, all he needs to do is be handsome. Wen Tian is good at acting, and his looks and height are also very impressive. Although he is a second-tier actor, this is the typical setup for idol dramas. It is difficult for the male and female leads to be of equal status. Moreover, this way, Meng Fan will be the lead actress. If the drama becomes a big hit, Meng Fan will be even more popular among the audience.
"What about Xinghe?" Xie Dong asked hastily, but as soon as he opened his mouth he knew he had acted impulsively. Senior Song was Xinghe's biological mother, how could he leave out Song Xinghe?
"Xinghe will be fine as the second female lead. Although the second female lead doesn't have many scenes, she is quite outstanding. It's not a bad job for her to be Mengfan's supporting actress. She can go and film another movie with me after she finishes filming."
Another film is Song Xia's comeback film, in which she plays the lead female role. However, the lead female role also has a daughter, and the real mother and daughter will play the mother and daughter in the film, which will also generate buzz.
She plans to arrange a different path for her daughter than for Lan Mengfan. From the beginning of her career, Lan Mengfan followed the path of a popular young actress because of her stiff acting skills. Although popular young actresses earn money, their private lives are under more scrutiny, and their words and actions are easily criticized.
Xinghe loves acting, so let her pursue a career focused on acting skills. Just keep her popularity at a moderate level. The important thing is that her works become popular and her public image is clean. She has money, so Xinghe doesn't need to work hard to earn it.
If you act well and win a few prestigious awards, you can easily land a couple of top luxury brand endorsements, making you both rich and prestigious.
