Chapter 1898: Beauty Traps Everywhere
Qingniao Film and Television was acquired by Luo Ziling, Fang Dongxun, Ouyang Feifei and others, with famous actresses like Chu Ming, Yang Ying, Zhao Lijing, and Cheng Binbin joining one after another.
Although their joining was a very complicated process, even with elements of coercion, now they are indeed signed actors of the renamed Lingyun Film and Television.
After they arrived at Lingyun Film and Television, they gradually learned how strong the background of this relatively small film company is.
Moreover, they also learned about the character of Fang Dongxun and Luo Ziling.
Fang Dongxun only dominates Chu Ming alone and lets Chu Ming be his agent.
Luo Ziling rarely manages the company's affairs; the main affairs are managed by a confidant of Luo Ziling's mother.
Many of the executives at Lingyun Film and Television are women, which made the three believe that the rampant hidden rules should not appear.
After coming to Lingyun Film and Television, they seldom participated in any official receptions and social activities, which was entirely different from previous situations.
Previously, they were often required by the company to participate in socializing and official activities, to accompany many people to drink and other socializing activities, and even to be taken advantage of. Those days seemed glamorous but were very bittersweet, even lacking dignity.
After coming to Lingyun Film and Television, this feeling suddenly disappeared, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
After understanding more situations, they felt that coming to Lingyun Film and Television was a very wise choice.
They also knew that Lingyun Film and Television was still recruiting, preparing to tap some potential rising stars and some well-known big names.
As the earliest batch of big names joining Lingyun Film and Television, they were afraid of losing their status, so they were eager to consolidate their popularity through one or several works to achieve a higher positioning and be more prominently promoted and endorsed by the company.
The adaptation for Dai Shulan's work is the first major commercial piece invested by the renamed Lingyun Film and Television.
The first piece, the company is sure to pour huge funds into making it, along with widespread publicity.
Success or not is one thing, but the fact is that the company will devote all resources to this drama.
Therefore, Yang Ying, Zhao Lijing, and Cheng Binbin do not want to miss the opportunity to perform roles.
They knew that those who had significant decision-making power were undoubtedly the sibling pair, Luo Yuqing and Luo Ziling.
Luo Yuqing is a woman, and she's a beautiful woman, and beautiful women are naturally rivals, jealous and competitive with each other.
Men always have an innate fondness for beautiful women.
Things that might not necessarily work out with Luo Yuqing have a higher chance with Luo Ziling.
However, without a chance to find Luo Ziling alone, they could only take a risk in today's setting and publicly make their request.
Unexpectedly, Luo Ziling kicked their request like a ball, not expressing his stance, letting them find Luo Yuqing and Dai Shulan.
With Luo Ziling saying this, they understood the weight Dai Shulan and Luo Yuqing carried in the role allocation of this drama, but they also understood more that Luo Ziling had very important decision-making power. If it weren't like that, he wouldn't say this.
But with so many people present, they couldn't say anything else and could only request Luo Yuqing and Dai Shulan for the opportunity to perform.
Dai Shulan didn't understand the entertainment circle's situation; if those familiar with entertainment rules saw this scene, they would surely be stunned.
For big stars like Yang Ying, Zhao Lijing, and Cheng Binbin, inviting them to perform roles is not easy, requiring tough negotiations and a hefty price. Sky-high remunerations, scheduling according to their availability, and while even famous actors cannot always escape being subjected to hidden rules, they can play the star more often.
Them proactively lowering their stance to ask for roles, even accepting non-main roles, is unprecedented and completely against the norm. It can only be said that to secure roles in this drama, Yang Ying, Zhao Lijing, and Cheng Binbin are going all out, only to ensure their status and to be valued by the company.
Dai Shulan was naturally delighted at Yang Ying, Zhao Lijing, and Cheng Binbin's attitude.
This made her very excited, instantly feeling grand.
If these big-name stars joined her debut, it would surely become a huge success.
Luo Yuqing was also delighted, although she hadn't fully engaged with this drama yet, and specific arrangements hadn't been made, thus she wasn't clear on the role distribution. But she understood that with these big-name stars joining, not all, just one would make the drama stand out significantly. If all three participated, the drama would carry substantial weight.
However, she also understood what it meant to welcome and reject subtly, thus she didn't rush to express her stance, only saying that the role selection had not been finalized, and the film crew would study it again at the time.
After Yang Ying, Zhao Lijing, and Cheng Binbin left, Yang Qingyin smiled at Luo Ziling and said, "Looks like these people have a keen sense."
"They know Lingyun Film and Television has a promising future, so they're eager to perform." After Luo Ziling said this, he smiled at Dai Shulan and said, "You're investing in Lingyun Group, getting some shares, right? I think the future of Lingyun Film and Television is quite promising."
"Indeed," Dai Shulan nodded in agreement.
Luo Ziling then said to Yang Qingyin, "Senior, why don't you invest a little too, since your annual dividends are considerable."
"Are you welcoming?"
"It's your choice," Luo Ziling replied with a smile, "But I think with Yuqing and my mom personally watching over it, the future is certainly not bad."
Cao Jianhui, Li Fuming, and Wu Longjiang, who had returned, listened to them stupidly, entirely in the clouds.
They were still innocent students, having just freed themselves from the heavy studies in high school; these investment matters were a completely different life for them, hence they were dumbfounded.
Yang Qingyin spoke calmly, and didn't reveal her decision in front of others: "Then I'll ask Mrs. Ling. If she approves, I'll throw some money too, otherwise now with the money depreciating so quickly, wealth will only become less."
"You guys chat for a bit, I'm going to the bathroom." Having drunk quite a bit of tea, Luo Ziling wanted to go to the restroom.
Unexpectedly, as he walked to the restroom entrance, he bumped into Yang Ying who had just come out.
"Mr. Luo, can I get a contact from you? I want to chat about the roles privately." Yang Ying seemed rather anxious, "I also want to talk to you about some of my opinions on the company's development. I hope you can hear me out, I won't take up much of your time."
Saying this, she held onto Luo Ziling's arm and acted coyly, deliberately letting her ample chest subtly touch Luo Ziling's body.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Lijing also happened to walk over and saw the two in this intimate manner.
