Youqing doesn't have many fans. She has condemned her management company and Anna, but it hasn't worked.
Just as Youqing was preparing for her next move, there was a knock on her door.
It's Gu Ye.
What brings you here?
Seeing that Youqing's complexion was rosy and she didn't look tired, Gu Ye felt much relieved.
"I heard your agent is trying to blacklist you, so I came to ask if you need any help."
Youqing looked completely bewildered.
"No."
Gu Ye: "Don't be so polite. I came back this time and I plan to recruit some people for the studio, mainly actors with good acting skills. I think you are very suitable. I wanted to tell you this a long time ago, but I didn't because I saw that you were quite busy. Now it's not too late to tell you."
Youqing stared straight at Gu Ye, making him lower his head, somewhat embarrassed.
"No."
You Qing had a good impression of Gu Ye, but the way he acted didn't seem like he was completely "innocent" towards her. She had no reason to use a man's feelings to achieve her goal.
Gu Ye became anxious.
"You don't need to worry too much. You're on the rise, and it's a win for me if you go to my studio."
Youqing shook her head: "Thank you, Teacher Gu, but it's no need."
Gu Ye tried to persuade her a few more times, but seeing that she still disagreed, he went back. However, he did not give up in the end and said before leaving, "Contact me anytime if you change your mind."
Youqing nodded: "Thank you, Teacher Gu."
Two days after seeing Gu Ye off, Youqing contacted her daughter Anle. At this time, Anle and Lian Yu were in a period where neither of them spoke to the other.
Anle also wanted to go there. What Lian Yu said made sense. Although she believed that Lian Yu was her former consort, without that memory, it didn't really count.
She's being too attached to appearances; having already spent a lifetime together, she still prays for the same in this life.
Anle was extremely busy when Youqing called.
Although her job within the system was related to the entertainment industry, she didn't directly interact with celebrities; she dealt more with upper-level figures in the industry.
The matter of Youqing being blacklisted only made a few trending topics, and didn't cause much of a stir within the system.
Nobody has time to talk to her about this.
Youqing told Anle what had happened, and Anle was furious. How dare someone bully her mother? Did they have a death wish?
"I've found some illegal and irregular activities by my agent. Could you please expose them?"
Youqing then sent the evidence to Anle.
Anle readily agreed.
Over the next few days, a major earthquake struck the entertainment industry, with one male and female celebrity after another falling into scandals. Upon investigation, it turned out that they were all artists under the management of their agent, Anna.
Suddenly, Anna's artists were under close scrutiny, and netizens, always eager for drama, dug up all sorts of gossip.
The more they dug, the more shocking and alarming it became.
In the end, they dug up Anna's name and implicated her, along with two of her celebrity employees.
Anna has been arrested for allegedly coercing minors into sexual activity, tax evasion, and drug use.
The same goes for the two stars under her management.
As a star under Anna's management, Youqing was also thoroughly investigated, but the more she was investigated, the cleaner she became. In the end, netizens felt it was amazing that there was such a clean person in the entertainment industry.
At this time, Youqing was very grateful for the original owner's "self-discipline," and she behaved very properly after she arrived.
Because of this incident, Youqing, who was sidelined by Anna, suddenly gained a lot of attention. She was originally hovering in the second tier, but suddenly she was firmly established in the second tier. If she were to film a minor hit drama as the female lead, it wouldn't be a problem for her to reach the first tier.
You Qing suddenly became a hot commodity, and many entertainment companies were contacting her.
Youqing is also looking for a suitable entertainment company. If that doesn't work, she'll have to open her own studio. However, the only person she can rely on is Cui Jia, who is more capable than other assistants. Anna doesn't care about Youqing, but Cui Jia asks more questions and grows faster. However, it's too difficult for Cui Jia to support a studio.
So at this stage, it's more worthwhile to join a company, but which company to join is another matter.
After negotiations, Youqing joined Yixin Entertainment. The reason was that Yixin Entertainment only signed a two-year contract with a 30/70 split of earnings, with the company receiving 30% and her 70%, which was already quite good. The resources were also decent. The only requirement was that if she wanted to open her own studio after leaving, she had to be affiliated with Yixin Entertainment.
Yixin Entertainment doesn't have a large number of employees, but they are all very famous. Most importantly, Yixin Entertainment has its own investment department, which is its main focus. Every year, Yixin Entertainment's investment is involved in many of the biggest hit dramas in the entertainment industry.
It can be said that once you join Yixin Entertainment, you won't lack roles to play. Yixin Entertainment frequently engages in resource exchanges, making it easier for actors to access resources.
After the agreement was reached, the termination of the contract with the original management company was handled by Yixin Entertainment. There was no need to actually pay a termination fee; just some resources would suffice. That's the confidence of a big company.
Youqing experienced the joy of clinging to someone's powerful backer.
When Youqing officially announced that she had joined Yixin Entertainment and become one of its artists, it immediately topped the trending searches, which is also because there haven't been any major news stories lately.
As soon as she signed the contract, the company immediately assigned her an agent, a middle-aged man. Although he was middle-aged, he was quite good-looking. He didn't waste any words after taking over Youqing and immediately arranged for her to audition for a leading role.
The audition results came out on the same day, and she was chosen. She signed the contract that same day, very efficiently. It was like a huge opportunity had fallen from the sky, which was very different from the occasional setbacks she had received before.
Cui Jia was overjoyed; if You Qing was well, then she was well too.
On the day the stills were taken, Youqing realized that the male lead of the drama was actually Gu Ye, which startled her.
This drama is a modern workplace drama with a strong female lead. The male lead is not particularly outstanding and has few scenes, but it's quite sweet. He's more like the man behind the female lead. Of course, the male lead is not weak either. He's the kind of person who silently supports and warms the female lead and has done a lot for her.
Although Gu Ye had acted in TV dramas before, that was a long time ago. After so many years, he finally got to act in a TV drama, but he ended up playing a supporting male lead. It just doesn't sound real.
Not only did she find it unreal, but the entire crew felt it was unreal. After the female lead was cast, the original male and female leads ran into trouble. Gu Ye took the initiative to contact the male lead. Although the director, producer, and investors felt it was a bit of a dream, they naturally had to accept such a good thing that seemed to fall from the sky.
The director even asked Gu Ye if he wanted to revise the script, but Gu Ye firmly refused, saying that he would resolutely eliminate this bad trend. The director was moved, saying that the industry is lacking such upright people.
With Gu Ye confirmed as the male lead, many people tried to get into the production, and some even considered playing the female lead, You Qing, but ultimately nothing came of it, and it's unclear what exactly happened.
