Is this a direct “bribe”?
Zhou Weiwei thought for a while, “Huixing has been on a strong upward trend these past few years. But if Huixing focuses solely on artist traffic and exposure, it isn’t particularly friendly to actors.”
“Don’t worry about that. Huixing is also establishing a film and television department, and will specialize in producing its own dramas, or bartering resources with other companies.” For an entertainment company, it’s a natural move to make dramas and invest in movies towards the end. Relying solely on developing artists wouldn’t get you far in terms of accounts or capital raising.
Thinking of growing bigger and going public, just cultivating artists is too cost-ineffective, of course, it’s best to have an all-in-one service.
“If Miss Zhou decides to join us, you shouldn’t have to worry about drama contracts. Huixing has good relationships with other business partners and variety show partners. Whether you want to go luxury or do magazines, our channels are also quite solid. The key is, even though we have top traffic stars like Siyu here, the number and quality of our artists are still too low. As soon as Miss Zhou comes over, the company will tailor-make the most efficient path for you. With Siyu as an example, you shouldn’t have any concerns, should you? Your relationship is so good, being in the same company would also mean you can look out for each other. Isn’t this a win-win situation?”
Zhou Weiwei fell silent for a moment. Her current agency, which Wang Zisu belonged to, was biased towards idol development. Training young idols and creating traffic, from popular young actors and actresses to good-looking boys and girls who could sing and dance—none had much acting skill, but they were hot commodities on variety shows and gala events.
For someone like her who focused on acting, she was at a disadvantage in her current company. Maybe if she really joined Huixing, things might turn out well.
After all, Qin Baizhou had already found out about Xia Siyu and Bo Yan being together, and even though she couldn’t reveal Xia Siyu’s secrets, she could hint a little: “So, what would you like to know? They are already together now.”
Qin Baizhou had paid attention to Xia Siyu’s variety shows before, and although the variety show in Sicily was shot over a month ago, it had only finished airing not long ago. He naturally watched the first love questioning by Li Yiru and Shang Feifei.
At that time, Li Yiru and Shang Feifei were actually about to ask, but couldn’t recall who that first love was. If it was Bo Yan, it matched all the criteria perfectly.
Someone from the inner circle, under thirty, from a wealthy family, had worked with Shang Feifei, and she also knew him.
“So, she and Bo Yan were boyfriend and girlfriend before, right? Did they date in college?”
Zhou Weiwei didn’t answer but merely smiled faintly and took a sip of water.
Her silence was a confirmation. Qin Baizhou was now sure of it.
He had thought he was one of the first to know Xia Siyu, but it turned out she and Bo Yan had met earlier, even before him.
Suddenly, he remembered something.
Though Xia Siyu had a bad reputation, with others saying she was pretentious and had a bad temper, she rarely snubbed artists she hadn’t cooperated with. But with Bo Yan, it was as if they were completely incompatible, and there had always been incidents of them fighting and arguing on Weibo and in friends’ circles.
There must have been some issues with their breakup before, which is why now, even though she clearly disliked him, she accepted his presence around her.
“So, have they . . . rekindled their old flame now?”
“It’s not really a rekindling,” Zhou Weiwei said, taking another sip of water. They have been married for three years—aren’t a legitimate couple being together just normal?
