Entertainment mogul: Starting his business with the internet

Chapter 58 Tradition Must Be Preserved

"Do you even know what kind of company Tangren Media is? You just impulsively wanted to sign them!"

Upon hearing this, Song Ci sighed inwardly, thinking that the poet was still naive and romantic at this moment, and that his words were somewhat childish.

A film and television company has limited resources. Given Tangren's size, if Sun Li were still around, where would you, Liu Shishi, have a chance to stand out?

Thinking back carefully, it seems that even in his previous life, the great poet Song Ci received limited treatment and resources from the Tang Dynasty.

Although Long Kui in "Chinese Paladin 3" was outstanding, she was only the third female lead. Even in "Scarlet Heart," a work about attaining enlightenment and ascension, it seems that Cai Yinong initially intended to find Jiang Yiyan as the female lead.

After "Chinese Paladin 1", Tangren Media only had one core member: Hu Ge. The reason Liu Shishi became so popular in her previous life can only be attributed to her good fortune; a single, unexpected role in "Scarlet Heart" propelled her to stardom throughout the entertainment industry.

After hesitating for a long time, Song Ci finally spoke up: "Shishi, how about coming to Tengda Culture? The company has several projects coming out next year..."

Liu Shishi touched Song Ci's lips with her slender finger to stop him from continuing. With a resolute look on her face, she said stubbornly, "I don't want to rely on you all the time and live under your wing. Let me go out into the world and explore, so that I can become better."

Song Ci gazed at the young lady Liu before him, sensing her resolute will, and sighed inwardly, "Silly girl, why bother with so many thoughts? You don't need to be perfect, as long as I like you, that's enough."

Without mentioning Tengda Culture any further, Song Ci continued, making an agreement with Liu Shishi: "Sun Li cannot represent Tangren Media. Even if you want to sign with Tangren, it will have to be handled by Tangren's boss, Cai Yinong. At least you need to make certain resource commitments. Promise me that you will be cautious when signing a contract."

Feeling Song Ci's concern, Liu Shishi sweetly replied, "I know, if we really want to sign a contract, we will definitely get someone's consent first."

Song Ci chuckled, "You're so mischievous!"

Before they knew it, the two had returned to the hotel. Just before entering the hotel, Song Ci looked back at the last ray of sunset in the clouds and said to Liu Shishi with a smile, "I hope that all good things will arrive as scheduled in this autumn, and that we will be invincible in the face of the light."

At this moment, in Cai Yinong's temporary office in the Tangren Xiaobailou in Hengdian, Sun Li was sitting on the sofa with a cup of black tea in her hand. "Sister K, don't stare at me like that, it's making me nervous."

Cai Yinong gazed at the company's top female executive, vaguely sensing his own former glory in her gentle face. After a sigh, he asked, "Sun Li, have you really thought this through?"

The company's top female star wants to retire from acting after marriage. Although I know she's made up her mind, I still can't help but want to try to persuade her again.

Sun Li spoke softly, a hint of happiness on her face, "Sister K, I'm 28 years old this year. A woman eventually needs to find a home. San Shi and I have finally tied the knot, you should bless me."

Cai Yinong couldn't help but think of Tangren's former leading lady, and sighed helplessly, "Yonghe and you, sigh."

The first leading lady of Tangren Media was Hong Kong actor Kwan Wing-ho. This actress, who once held the title of "TVB's Leading Lady," dated Cheung Ka-fai for many years before marrying him last December. After marriage, she chose to return to her family and completely retire from the entertainment industry.

Tangren Media was just preparing to allocate resources to support Sun Li, whose new leading lady had only been in power for less than a year, and now she was getting married and retiring from the entertainment industry, which made Cai Yinong very worried.

Sun Li shook her head, feeling a lot of unspoken suffering. Over the years she had been in the industry, she had never really become famous. Her boss came from the Hong Kong entertainment circle and preferred to use Hong Kong and Taiwan artists. When Kwan Wing-ho was in charge, her position at Tangren Media was very awkward; she was practically invisible.

Last year, Guan Yonghe retired from the entertainment industry, and Cai Yinong wanted to help her rise to the top. However, over the years, her ambition had been worn down, and she no longer had the same drive for her career. Since things had come to this, Cai Yinong stopped thinking about it. If one female star was gone, another would do; hesitation wasn't in her nature. So, she prepared to chat casually with Sun Li, asking, "How is Huang Sanshi treating you? What about his relationship with Liu..."

Sun Li interrupted Cai Yinong and said calmly, "Sister K, I don't want to talk about Sanshi and Liu's affairs. I only know that Sanshi is my husband now."

The atmosphere became somewhat subdued for a moment, and after a long while, Cai Yinong said, "You are gentle on the outside but strong on the inside."

Sun Li took a sip of tea and suddenly remembered Liu Shishi's beautiful figure. So he smiled and said, "Sister K, I met a girl in Hengdian this afternoon. She is definitely your type. She is gentle and quiet, a graduate of Beijing Dance Academy, and is just starting out in the industry. The company can sign her."

"Beijing Dance Academy, Liu Shishi?" Cai Yinong suddenly recalled the face he had seen online that day and said subconsciously.

Sun Li asked curiously, "Yes, her name is Liu Shishi. K-sister, you know her too?"

Cai Yinong explained, "I've seen her photos online before and did have the idea of ​​signing her to Tangren Media, but I haven't had the chance to meet her yet. Are you saying she's currently filming in Hengdian?"

Sun Li shook her head. "What a coincidence. She's in Hengdian, but not filming. She's here for tourism and will be going back to Beiping in a couple of days. I have her contact information. If you want to see her, Sister K, I can help you make an appointment with her."

Cai Yi-nong waved his hand, "This matter is not urgent. I have to go back to Donghai tomorrow to discuss a project. I will definitely talk to her parents when I have time."

After Sun Li got her marriage certificate, she has been making two preparations. On the one hand, she is trying to persuade Sun Li, and on the other hand, she is looking for a new leading lady. Currently, she has her eye on Taiwanese actress Lin Jiayu, so she is not in a hurry to sign Liu Shishi.

Sun Li nodded. K-jie was indeed very thoughtful. Signing with a talent agency was a major life decision that definitely required the consent of Liu Shishi's parents. It was indeed a bit rash of him to bring it up at the restaurant. No wonder Song Ci refused.

The pleasant holiday time is always too short. After visiting several major attractions in Hengdian on the 6th, Song Ci and Liu Shishi traveled from Hengdian to Hangzhou and returned to Beiping on the morning of the 7th.

After refusing to trouble Song Ci to escort her back to the Beijing Dance Academy, Liu Shishi bid a reluctant farewell and returned to her respective schools to resume her campus life.

At 3 p.m., Song Ci returned to dormitory 310 after packing several autumn clothes. Only Lin Hao was online.

Fatty Lin sat at the table, grinning foolishly, typing away as if he were chatting with someone. He was so engrossed that he didn't notice Song Ci had returned to the dormitory.

"Who are you chatting with? You're laughing so hard you're drooling." Song Ci gently patted Lin Hao's shoulder and teased him.

"Ah!" Lin Hao was startled and shuddered. He subconsciously wiped his lips, then turned his head and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it was Song Ci.

He patted his chest and replied happily, "She's my senior sister's roommate, the one with the long legs I met at our last social gathering, Lin Wenwen."

Song Ci had some impression of Shi Ye's roommates. The girl Lin Hao mentioned was quite pretty. "What, judging from your expression, you've taken a liking to her and want to pursue her?"
