Entertainment: Starting from joining Kugou Video

"Okay, I'll listen to Mom and go see her."

Of course, Tang Lou isn't some pushover; he's not going to be someone's nanny. After all, the entertainment industry is all about exchanging favors.

He promoted and supported Yang Chaoyue because Yang Chaoyue had a low starting point, working in his own factory, making her easy to control and train, and able to bring him continuous benefits.

Moreover, making a factory girl famous is enough to create an image of oneself as someone who can turn lead into gold.

The reason Guo Degang always brings up Yue Yunpeng's lack of talent is to give people the impression that he can make anyone he wants famous.

It's nothing more than creating a persona of a famous teacher.

Yang Chaoyue was also the best person in Tanglou to promote others.

As for Zhou Jieqiong, she is still in the early stages of her career. If she can be signed to work for me later, I will certainly focus on training her. However, if it is only because of her parents' influence, then I will have to consider the other party's attitude and character.

If you find it acceptable after watching, then you can offer some suggestions. However, I'm sorry if you'd like to spend resources to promote it.

Real benefits require exchange. A small favor is appreciated, but an excessive one breeds resentment. Giving things away for free will only make the other party take it for granted and become more demanding.

For female celebrities like this, aside from genuine feelings, they either need to make money for themselves or take good care of themselves; there's no such thing as a free lunch.

Tang Lou met with Zhou Jieqiong and the others at a hotel in town, arranged by his mother.

Inside the room, besides Liu Ying, Tang Lou, and Zhou Jieqiong, there were also Yang Chaoyue and Zhou Jieqiong's mother.

Liu Ying and Zhou Jieqiong's mother have a very close relationship, and they have already explained their purpose, so everyone was very direct.

"Tang Lou, my daughter Jieqiong is currently a trainee in South Korea, hoping to pursue a career in the entertainment industry. We just saw how popular your show 'Produce 101' is, so we wanted to ask you for a recommendation. Jieqiong wants to try it out for the second season."

Zhou's mother didn't hide anything and introduced Zhou Jieqiong to Tang Lou in a very open and generous way.

"Jieqiong, show off your figure to your brother Tanglou."

Zhou Jieqiong is straightforward and thick-skinned. After learning about Tang Lou's identity, she knew he was a benefactor and naturally did not hesitate to show off.

Zhou Jieqiong stood up and stood to the side, showing off her dancer's figure and demeanor.

Yang Chaoyue, watching from the side, had stars in her eyes.

"Wow, what a great physique and such solid fundamentals!"

After several months of intensive training, Yang Chaoyue had developed a certain eye for talent and professionalism. Seeing Zhou Jieqiong's early training, she felt a mixture of envy and admiration.

"Boss, Jieqiong is amazing, she's better than many people in our production team."

Yang Chaoyue has a high EQ. She knows that the boss's wife has a good relationship with the Zhou family, so saying nice things at this time is definitely the right thing to do. Moreover, Zhou Jieqiong is indeed beautiful and has a good figure.

When Zhou's mother heard Yang Chaoyue praising her, she reciprocated with compliments, engaging in mutual flattery.

Given Tang Lou's background, methods, and talent, joining his studio would definitely be the best choice.

In addition to her own mother's relationship with Tang Lou's mother, Tang Lou now only has Yang Chaoyue as an artist.

Before coming, Zhou Jieqiong had already gained a deep understanding of Tanglou through information gathered by Liu Ying.

Seeing how opinionated and thoughtful Zhou Jieqiong is at only seventeen years old, it's no wonder she became a trainee abroad at the age of 13.

Zhou's mother naturally supported Zhou Jieqiong's idea, and she still trusted Liu Ying and Tang Lou.

Given Zhou Jieqiong's own qualities and future development potential, signing her would be a good choice.

However, the first season of "Produce 101" was a huge hit, but the subsequent series received a lukewarm response. Moreover, Tanglou is now preparing to start afresh and enter the field of self-produced dramas, so it is unlikely that they will be planning a second season of "Produce 101" anytime soon.

This is also why Tanglou gave up the follow-up series of "Produce 101" and handed over the power to Shen Jiamin.

Tang Lou thought for a moment and said, "Jieqiong, if you want to go back to China to participate in the second season of 'Produce 101,' then I regret to inform you that I currently have no further plans."

"I won't be doing variety shows anytime soon."

Hearing Tang Lou's words, Zhou Jieqiong was clearly disappointed. She didn't know if Tang Lou was telling the truth or if he was just politely rejecting her.

Zhou Jieqiong was somewhat unwilling. Her own conditions and professional abilities were in no way inferior to Yang Chaoyue's. If there was a second season, and Tang Lou was willing to promote her in the same way they promoted Yang Chaoyue, she would definitely be able to become famous as well.

Just as Zhou Jieqiong was feeling disappointed, Tang Lou changed the subject:

"However, if you're interested in entering the entertainment industry, I do have a new project here."

"I'm preparing to produce a big-budget period fantasy drama. Yang Mi has been tentatively cast as the lead, and the renowned director Lin Yufeng will direct."

"If you want to give it a try, I can recommend someone. When it's time to cast roles, you and Chaoyue can go to the audition together."

Yang Chaoyue was unaware that her boss had assigned her another job, and her face showed some surprise and confusion.

After all, she can't act!

"Boss, I'm going too!"

Tang Lou looked at Yang Chaoyue, who seemed a little nervous, and briefly explained:

"Yes, your next job will be participating in my new drama. The benefits and compensation will remain the same, and there will be a bonus after filming wraps up."

Upon hearing that this was a routine work arrangement with no change in salary and benefits, plus a bonus, Yang Chaoyue immediately had no other thoughts.

It's just acting, nothing serious.

Supermoon, don't be afraid!

Yang Chaoyue knew that the young boss was taking her to make more money.

Tang Lou then looked at Zhou Jieqiong: "Jieqiong, what are your thoughts?"

Tang Lou arranged for Zhou Jieqiong to play the role of Yan Zhi, a demon princess. This role has an ethereal quality, and Zhou Jieqiong's ancient costume look is quite suitable. Moreover, her acting talent is much higher than Yang Chaoyue's, and she has great potential.
