The production team of "The Legend of Min'er" worked very efficiently. Leng Yue received a text message invitation just two days after filling out the application form.
The message read: "Hello, Ms. Leng Yue, your application for the Yunfeng Group interview has been approved. Please bring this message to the third floor of the Lingnan Pearl venue at 9:00 AM on March 20th for entry. We look forward to your arrival!"
The 20th? Isn't that tomorrow? Leng Yue was stunned for a moment. Are all film crews in such a hurry?
Of course! With a director as renowned as Lin Xing, the moment the news breaks, thousands upon thousands of people are scrambling to get a chance to work with him. How could it not happen quickly?
The next day, Leng Yue took the subway to the audition venue early in the morning. Because it was still early, the venue hadn't opened yet. However, the entrance was already crowded with people.
Leng Yue looked around but didn't see Ai Qingqing. Was she not coming? Impossible!
Leng Yue felt that Ai Qingqing wouldn't give up this opportunity. After hesitating for a while, she finally decided to ignore her.
Finally, at nine o'clock, the venue opened. All the actors lined up to enter, and staff handed out number tags to each person.
After the preparations were completed, the judges entered the room, and the preliminary selection officially began.
Leng Yue was number 110, which was relatively early. Plus, the judges selected very quickly, so it was Leng Yue's turn soon.
Judge: "Number 110, please begin your performance."
Leng Yue felt that the sentence sounded familiar. After pausing for a few seconds, she started to dance a classical dance.
Leng Yue had the original owner's foundation and previous experience, so she danced very well. The three judges didn't say anything and passed her directly.
Leng Yue smiled and thanked the judges before stepping off the stage and leaving.
It wasn't until Leng Yue went around to the back door of the venue that she saw Ai Qingqing and Liu Hu rushing over. They exchanged glances, and in an instant, swords flashed!
Liu Hu: "Leng Yue? Didn't I tell you not to come out? Why are you being so disobedient? Don't you want to work here anymore?"
"Let me tell you, don't be stubborn and ask for trouble!" Leng Yue couldn't stand Liu Hu. Despite having such a manly name, he was an extremely effeminate person, especially fond of making threats while holding up his pinky finger. It was unbearable!
"Why can't I leave? I didn't do anything wrong! Did you really call the film crew?" Leng Yue said, glancing at Ai Qingqing. "Qingqing, tell Brother Hu, did I do anything wrong?"
“Yueyue, you made a mistake, that’s it. You can just correct it... Why make Brother Hu angry?” Ai Qingqing said, her eyes darting away.
Actually, Liu Hu wasn't angry about the Leng Yue production team or the so-called scandals, but rather because Ai Qingqing said Leng Yue looked down on him for being effeminate. That's why Liu Hu was specifically targeting Leng Yue!
Leng Yue stared straight at Ai Qingqing, "Qingqing, why don't you tell the truth?"
Ai Qingqing didn't speak, and Liu Hu pulled her inside. Ai Qingqing turned around, looked at Leng Yue, and mouthed, "I was forced into this too."
Leng Yu scoffed. Just how stupid did Ai Qingqing think the original owner of this body was?
Before Leng Yue even stepped out of the building, her phone rang. It was Liu Hu. "Leng Yue, don't think you're safe just because I didn't pursue the matter earlier! Let me tell you, you'd better wait until I trample you under my feet! I'll make you understand the consequences of talking bad about me behind my back!"
Leng Yue didn't say a word from beginning to end before Liu Hu hung up the phone.
Although Leng Yue didn't quite understand what Liu Hu was talking about, she knew one thing: Liu Hu definitely didn't want her to take the lead. Ai Qingqing, oh Ai Qingqing, you really are someone who walks other people's paths but leaves them with nowhere to walk!
Leng Yue joined this company right after graduation, with a ten-year contract. If Liu Hu really wanted to get rid of her, it would be incredibly easy.
Leng Yue returned to the company and went straight into the general manager's office.
General Manager Wu Yan was a strong, capable woman, dressed in a sophisticated black suit, her hair meticulously combed. However, this was Leng Yue's first time entering the General Manager's office!
Wu Yan is 35 years old this year, but she has been working in the workplace for 15 years. She interned at this company when she was in college, and later joined the company. She worked her way up from a junior employee to the position of general manager, and she got to her current position through hard work and struggle.
After Leng Yue entered, she greeted Wu Yan.
"Speak, what is it?" Wu Yan took off her glasses, pinched her brow, and rubbed her sore neck. Then she put her glasses back on and looked intently at Leng Yue.
Leng Yue only said one sentence: "I want to change agents. I deserve better!"
Wu Yan laughed upon hearing this, thinking it deserved even better. "Tell me, what happened?"
Leng Yue recounted how Liu Hu wanted to blacklist her without even knowing the facts, and Wu Yan nodded.
"If you get the role of Yunfeng, I'll change your agent." Wu Yan gave Leng Yue a promise, or rather, a test.
Leng Yue nodded confidently, "You wait and see, I can definitely do it!"
Wu Yan remained noncommittal, saying, "I'll wait for your good news."
After Leng Yue left, Wu Yan sighed and said: "It's so good to be young!"
For over a decade, Wu Yan worked diligently, but it was difficult for her to make any further progress. Moreover, numerous problems arose within Sheng Tang. For instance, Liu Hu acted solely on personal whims, lacking any sense of right and wrong.
But the whole company is like this now, what can she do? The company is called Sheng Tang, but who doesn't know that it's actually been in decline for a long time! Now even the signed artists can only be obtained through deception and fraud!
Wu Yan thought she could only watch helplessly as the Tang Dynasty perished, and as the place that once held her tears, sweat, and youth became a tomb.
However, when Leng Yue uttered those words, Wu Yan suddenly felt that now was not the time to be discouraged. Perhaps, it wasn't too late!
Perhaps, all it takes is one person to make her famous, and their Tang Dynasty might return to its former glory!
Everything depends on whether that girl can do it!
Leng Yue had no idea that her words would change Wu Yan's mind and alter the future of the Tang Dynasty.
In her previous life, the prosperous Tang Dynasty was ultimately annexed, right after the original owner's death, so Leng Yue was unaware of this. Moreover, this matter was unrelated to the plot, and it wasn't mentioned on the plot card.
In fact, the failure of the Tang Dynasty was entirely due to the high-ranking officials' poor judgment of people.
In her previous life, after Ai Qingqing became the company's cash cow, the company heavily promoted her and placed all its hopes on her.
Later, as Ai Qingqing's resources increased, her status rose, and her fan base grew, she breached the contract. She even publicly criticized Sheng Tang's domineering and inhumane contract. She even profited from the original owner's tragedy, claiming that it was because of Sheng Tang that her best friend was driven to desperation and committed suicide.
At that time, besides Ai Qingqing, Sheng Tang Entertainment hadn't cultivated any other artists that were truly outstanding. But Ai Qingqing was different; she had already found a new agency, Chang Sheng Entertainment.
In comparison, the Tang Dynasty was no match for Ai Qingqing.
Thus, Sheng Tang was swallowed up by Chang Sheng Entertainment, and Ai Qingqing's success became the outcome that everyone wanted.
Later, Ai Qingqing opened a studio affiliated with Changsheng and recruited artists from Shengtang, becoming the biggest winner!
