Chapter 1004: Chapter 1004: Worth It or Not
Wang Chuiyang is on the set.
She has taken on a new major production.
After the huge success of "White Snake" and with a Qinglan Award under her belt, Wang Chuiyang’s value has skyrocketed, and she’s drowning in invitations.
This time, she’s working with two big names.
"... Look at you, do you really need to thank me for such a small thing?" Wang Chuiyang laughed, "I told you before, if you want to aim for the Qinglan Award, come to me."
"I still have to thank you. When you get back, I’ll treat you to dinner." Sheng Tang said, "Give me a call when you’re back."
"Sure," Wang Chuiyang replied.
She was busy getting her makeup done, so they hung up after a short chat.
Ke Fei also got William a spot on a new variety show.
It’s a particularly popular show, and this time William is a permanent member, not just a guest, and it might take four months to shoot this season.
He’s juggling both variety shows and movies.
Sheng Tang had asked him if he was worried that people in the film industry might look down on him, considering that they’re quite snobbish towards TV and variety show actors.
William looked at her and said, "Sister Tang, what are you talking about? I’m your guy. You have a production company; can’t I just pick any movie I want?"
Sheng Tang: "..."
Brother, you have a high opinion of yourself.
Sheng Tang rolled her eyes at him.
William laughed heartily and coquettishly pleaded with Sheng Tang, "I want to be marked as yours from now on, Sister Tang. You have to take care of me."
She felt helpless.
"Alright, alright, I’m scared of you," Sheng Tang said.
William held onto Sheng Tang’s big leg and wouldn’t let go. He’s got a great sense of variety shows and quite good acting skills, blooming in both movies and variety shows.
His popularity has surpassed that of many people.
Compared to him, Sheng Tang’s other partner, Qian Zhe Lin, is quite lackluster.
Since the filming of "Tomb Robbing" ended last September, Qian Zhe Lin has been out of work again.
His agent doesn’t think much of him.
Ding Ruifan introduced him to a role in a small film, where he worked as a minor character for a month, then returned to the city.
Later, Qian Zhe Lin mustered up the courage to approach Sheng Tang again, desperately wanting to transfer his contract from Guanghong Media to Bo Yue Film and Television.
"... Zhelin, I understand that helping someone should mean seeing it through to the end," Sheng Tang said, "However, Bo Yue Film and Television doesn’t do agency business.
The reason William could come over is because Brother Fei is willing to take him. You know Brother Fei’s personality; he used to only manage one artist, and this time he’s making an exception.
How about this, I’ll ask Brother Fei. If he’s really willing to take you on, I’ll have President Gu transfer your contract over, okay?"
"Okay, thank you very much, Sheng Tang," Qian Zhe Lin said, "I really... really feel very bad for repeatedly asking you for help when I have nothing to offer in return."
"Don’t mention it. Who doesn’t need some support when they’re just starting out?" Sheng Tang said, "I’ll get back to you as soon as possible."
That same day, she visited William on set.
Ke Fei has been with William for quite a while because William, unlike Sheng Tang, isn’t that well-behaved and sometimes says inappropriate things, so Ke Fei has to keep an eye on him.
William was very happy to see Sheng Tang, while Ke Fei was a bit surprised.
After William finished work, the three of them had dinner together, and Sheng Tang told Ke Fei about Qian Zhe Lin’s situation.
Ke Fei frowned slightly, "You’ve already helped him once. Isn’t Qian Zhe Lin asking for too much?"
"I don’t think so. I actually feel he’s genuinely in a tough spot. After all, ’Tomb Robbing’ hasn’t been released yet, and the market hasn’t recognized it. My help for him hasn’t shown any effect yet," Sheng Tang said.
Ke Fei said, "I really can’t take him on. William requires my time; he’s not as obedient as you, Tangtang."
William stuck out his tongue.
"... However, I can introduce him to other agents, also from Guanghong," Ke Fei said, "His current agent doesn’t get along with him, so he can switch to a different one."
Sheng Tang asked, "Switch to whom?"
"I know a few friends, all of whom are quite good, and I’ll pick a suitable one for him," Ke Fei said, "I’ll handle this when I get back to Guanghong, so you don’t have to worry about it."
Sheng Tang thanked him.
"Tangtang, I hope you haven’t misjudged the situation; I hope Qian Zhe Lin is worth your help," Ke Fei said.
Sheng Tang replied, "I hope so too."
