Chapter 1075: Chapter 1075 Predicament
In a room at Quanjude, the heads of Huan Yu Entertainment and Meizi Entertainment were enthusiastically hosting Cameron. The film is about to premiere, and they have just finished the preliminary promotions, just waiting for the final release.
This film by Cameron is a joint effort between Huaxia and Hollywood. Many of the scenes were shot in Huaxia, and the story is set there as well. Considering Cameronâs reputation, Huaxia people have high expectations for this film. This can be considered a pre-celebration.
"Mr. Cameron, the film is releasing during the national celebration. Arenât you going to stay until then?" Zhang Qiang from Huan Yu Entertainment said with a smile, "You could also witness our Huaxiaâs grand parade!"
Cameron swirled the wine in his glass, regretfully saying, "Iâm sorry, Iâve finished my business here, and I have to go home for my daughterâs birthday. Iâll leave everything here to you. But Iâm confident this film will make a significant mark in film history. As for Huaxiaâs grand parade, I watch it online every year."
Zhang Qiang laughed heartily, "Iâm not worried about the success of this film. With Mr. Cameronâs involvement, it is sure to be a great success. So here, Iâll preemptively celebrate our filmâs success!"
Cameron gently raised his glass and clinked it with Zhang Qiangâs.
At this time, an employee from Huan Yu Entertainment approached Zhang Qiang and whispered something in his ear.
"Is there such a thing?" Zhang Qiang was stunned, then apologized to Cameron, "Mr. Cameron, I have some matters to attend to. If I seem neglectful, I apologize!"
Cameron waved his hand, "You donât need to worry about me; you should go and handle your business."
Zhang Qiang nodded and followed the employee out.
"Cousin!" Zhang Daoliang hurriedly greeted him upon entering another room.
Zhang Qiang looked displeased at his unambitious cousin and said, "Whatâs so urgent that you had to call me? Didnât you know I was attending to Mr. Cameron?"
Regarding his cousin, Zhang Qiang felt a sense of frustration. He was well aware of his cousinâs temper, being involved ambiguously with many trainees within the company. Due to family ties, he had to turn a blind eye, but that didnât mean he wasnât displeased with Zhang Daoliang.
Zhang Daoliang knew he wasnât favored by his cousin, otherwise, he wouldnât be stuck as just the head of the scouting department. But he couldnât worry about that now; he said urgently, "Cousin, Iâve discovered two incredible girls this time! Theyâll definitely become huge stars in the future!"
Zhang Qiang frowned, "If youâre just going to talk about this, save it! Even if itâs just a pile of crap, as long as Huan Yu Entertainment promotes it, itâll turn into a big star! Canât you tell me something useful?"
Zhang Daoliang smiled awkwardly and quickly removed a mini-camera from his collar, "Cousin, take a look at these and youâll understand!"
Connecting the mini-camera to his phone, Zhang Daoliang found the photos of Liu Tingyu and Wang Zhiying and said, "I just saw these two girls outside; theyâre bound to be future superstars! With a little polishing, theyâll bring countless benefits to Huan Yu Entertainment!"
Every scout in Huan Yu Entertainment has such mini-cameras on their collars to capture target photos and facilitate better work for the scouting department.
Zhang Qiang saw the photos of Liu Tingyu and Wang Zhiying, and the impatience on his face disappeared. Surprised, he gazed at the two girls, "Who are these girls? Did you just meet them? Have you invited them to Huan Yu Entertainment?"
Zhang Qiangâs vision was sharper than Zhang Daoliangâs. The aura of these two girls was incomparable to ordinary, vulgar girls, even matching up to the likes of the actress Xu Yuying! From them, Zhang Qiang saw strong potential!
Zhang Daoliang said regretfully, "Of course I invited them, but they donât seem to care about becoming big stars. I tried everything, but it didnât work out. So I hope you can advise me, cousin!"
Zhang Qiang looked at Zhang Daoliang, "Are you sure you didnât show your sleazy side or say something detrimental to your image? They might think youâre a fraud?"
Zhang Daoliang said, a bit frustrated, "Cousin, howâs that possible? Am I that kind of person?"
After recounting his approach, Zhang Qiang was stunned, "Are they really not interested in the entertainment industry? Impossible! Itâs hard for any woman to resist the allure of the entertainment circle! Anyway, do you have their contact information and names?"
Zhang Daoliang shook his head, "No!"
"No?" Zhang Qiangâs voice couldnât help but rise, "You tell me there are two girls with unlimited potential, then say you donât have their contact information? Where am I supposed to find them? Produce a missing persons notice? Are you stupid?"
đđ§đđźđŹđđ«đđžđżđźđ.đŹđ€đ¶
Faced with Zhang Qiangâs barrage of questions, Zhang Daoliang was speechless. When Zhang Qiangâs voice softened, he weakly said, "Those two girls went into Quanjude; theyâre probably just here to eat..."
"Then what are you waiting for? Send someone to keep an eye on Quanjudeâs entrance!" Zhang Qiang kicked Zhang Daoliang, "If you see them, stop them immediately! Iâll handle this personally!"
Zhang Daoliang replied awkwardly, "Alright, cousin, Iâll send someone right away!"
Zhang Qiang patted Zhang Daoliangâs shoulder, "Work hard. If you succeed in bringing these two girls to Huan Yu Entertainment, Iâll transfer you to work in the agent department."
"Really?" Zhang Daoliang was overjoyed, knowing the agent department was the most desirable department, unlike the hard scouting department, akin to Paradise compared to Hell. And the agents have far more benefits than the scouts!
After Zhang Daoliang left, Zhang Qiang rubbed his aching head. Although Huan Yu Entertainment was a large company with plenty of talents among its artists, only three or four were truly top performers! Additionally, Xu Yuying and Liang Fengchengâs contracts are about to expire, and due to some previous incidents, Zhang Qiang knows they long wanted to establish independent studios!
If several top artists leave, it would be a significant blow to Huan Yu Entertainment! The best strategy is to create new top stars before they leave, which would be best for the company!
While many wish to enter the entertainment industry, few have distinctive characteristics, and even fewer have genuine talent! There are plenty of internet-famous faces and effeminate males in the industry, but those with unique charisma are rare indeed!
"As long as I sign them, I am confident I can create two new top stars. Even if Xu Yuying leaves, the impact on the company wonât be significant!" Zhang Qiang thought to himself.
