Chapter 2059 - 489: Taking an Unconventional Path and Slapping Oneself in the Face
Yan Song chuckled to himself, while Yun Ya’s face grew even redder.
Seeing Yun Ya stand up, Qinglan, who was sitting beside Yan Ke, immediately got up to follow.
From a corner diagonally across, a gaze frequently looked over. Yan Song frowned slightly and shot a cold glance back, instantly meeting a somewhat stunning yet somewhat flustered gaze. The person hesitated for a moment before hurriedly turning their head.
Yan Song furrowed his brow and casually lowered his gaze.
"Miss, what are you looking at?" Lau Xiang asked curiously.
Liang Wenrou hurriedly replied, "Nothing... nothing at all." But her slightly flushed face and evasive eyes couldn’t escape the attention of her perceptive agent.
Lau Xiang raised an eyebrow, turned her head back for a glance, and saw the young man bathed in light and shadow. Her eyes were equally impressed as Liang Wenrou’s, but she quickly withdrew her gaze. Having been in the entertainment circle for many years, she could tell at a glance that this man was quite influential. Although his looks and aura were off the charts, even the most famous young stars in the industry would only be beneath him. Yet she understood, such a man was not easily approachable for them.
Looking again at the shy young lady, like a timid little rabbit, Lau Xiang shook her head and laughed. The young girl’s heart was stirred, which was completely normal.
"After getting off the plane, you’ll need to rush to attend the new movie premiere, and there’s a dinner meeting tonight. President Hai of Startlight Entertainment and Director Chen will be there. Director Chen is currently selecting a female lead for a new movie, and one of the investors behind this movie is Startlight Entertainment. Over the past years, Startlight Entertainment has been expanding into the Mainland, and if we can successfully secure this resource, it will be a great opportunity for you to advance in the Mainland. You must seize it," Lau Xiang spoke with a touch of seriousness when discussing business.
Liang Wenrou pressed her lips together, "Can’t we just cancel it?" She really disliked attending such dinner gatherings, full of greasy, lecherous executives whose gazes were revolting.
Lau Xiang sighed, "Although you have Mr. Liang’s support, which makes your path in the entertainment circle smooth, shielding you from its darker side—this can be considered your good fortune—Mr. Liang cannot protect you forever. If you wish to have greater development in the entertainment industry, you must take this step forward. In the industry, connections and resources are extremely important, and they won’t just fall into your lap; you need to work hard to maintain them."
Lau Xiang expressed earnestly, looking at the pure and beautiful young girl before her, sighing inwardly. The young lady, despite having the life of a wealthy heiress, chose instead to pour her passion into the tumultuous entertainment circle. Mr. Liang cherished his youngest daughter deeply, investing in an entertainment company and spending heavily to bring in Lau Xiang, a top agent from Hong Kong, to guide her—all just for her to enjoy herself.
However, despite Liang Group’s fame in Hong Kong, they have never ventured into the entertainment industry. As the saying goes, each profession is like a mountain range; trying to completely control the entertainment circle is impossible. Although many troubles have been shielded from her, and she’s received many good resources, her future development, especially given her ambition, must rely on herself.
Liang Wenrou has been in the industry for less than a year, but with her innocent and gentle appearance, sincere and kind personality, and the powerful backing, she has become popular in Hong Kong, though her Mainland recognition is not very high. Her future development route is primarily locked on the Mainland, hence forming good ties with Startlight Entertainment is imperative. Mr. Liang is powerless in this aspect; he is busy day in and day out, with little time to focus on his youngest daughter’s entertainment career. Entrusting a strong agent gives him peace of mind without much involvement.
"Startlight Entertainment is the most promising agency in Hong Kong in recent years, encompassing film, television, and music development. Among their signed artists, singers constitute the majority, and out of these, Mai Zheng has developed the best. In just two short years, he has been able to hold world tours, filling venues everywhere, exuding the demeanor of a global star. Though his personal talent accounts for much of this success, it’s inseparable from the strong support of Startlight Entertainment."
At this point, Lau Xiang glanced around, lowered her voice, and said, "There’s a rumor that his father, Mai Jiehui, is one of the hidden major shareholders of Startlight Entertainment. That’s why Startlight Entertainment has invested heavily in promoting him. There’s no smoke without fire; Mai Jiehui was once the backbone of Startlight Entertainment. It was because his first album sold so well that Startlight Entertainment gained the capital to go public. After Mai Jiehui rose to fame, many record companies tried to poach him, but Startlight Entertainment retained him with shares. No matter how high Mai Jiehui has climbed, he has never left Startlight Entertainment, so this rumor is likely true. He is a major shareholder behind Startlight Entertainment, which explains why over the years, Startlight Entertainment has primarily focused on developing singers."
