Chapter 457 - 457: RM’s Entire Collections, Globally, A TrueWinning Alliance (1)

Decisive and swift, had Xu Lingchu not succumbed to depression and taken his own life, Sang Yanqing’s status as the top agent in Great Xia would have remained unshakable.

Many artists yearned to be under her guidance, yet her selection criteria were notoriously stringent.

Take Tong Luoyun, for example.

Initially just an extra in a production, she caught Sang Yanqing’s eye and rose to become the leading actress among the Four Great Actresses of today.

Many agents waited eagerly for Sang Yanqing to show interest in someone, hoping to sign them under their wing.

If Yun Lan represented the pinnacle of the entertainment industry, then within the circle of agents, Sang Yanqing was the undisputed queen.

Brother Zhou had been an agent for four years.

Since his entry into the industry, he had heard of Sang Yanqing’s great reputation.

Naturally, he was extremely surprised by her comeback, “She’s actually choosing to mentor newcomers? What about Tong Luoyun…”

Though Tong Luoyun had signed with their company, Sang Yanqing had been a mentor to her.

Should she ask, Tong Luoyun would surely return to her side.

“Yes, it must be an extraordinary newcomer,” another agent chimed in. “After all, the least accomplished of her selections ended up as an award-winning actress.”

Brother Zhou nodded in agreement.

That was indeed the truth.

The agent glanced at Meng Xue, “Is she the one you just signed?”

“Yes, I’m about to show Meng Xue around the company and then introduce her to Tong Luoyun,” Brother Zhou responded with a smile. “She’s just over twenty, with a promising future ahead.”

Meanwhile, upstairs in Tong Luoyun’s private lounge.

Tong Luoyun operated her own studio and had a partnership, rather than a binding, contract with the company.

As an award-winning actress, she wielded significant influence, and the company was keen to promote her.

“Luoyun, your former agent is making a comeback,” her assistant remarked, looking at the news online. “There are rumors she’s taking on a newcomer. It’s as if she’s forgotten about you.”

Tong Luoyun casually flicked her hair, “The entertainment industry is ever-changing. Today’s top star is tomorrow’s fallen actor. Can Sang Yanqing’s old connections still serve her after six years away?”

“That’s true,” the assistant agreed. “Otherwise, she wouldn’t be mentoring newcomers. But whoever she chooses…”

Regardless, Sang Yanqing remained a Midas touch.

“Let her be,” Tong Luoyun said indifferently. “I’m flying to the Western Continent tomorrow. Let me rest for a while.”

Having nearly swept all domestic awards, she had reached a ceiling domestically and sought new breakthroughs abroad.

Her recent engagements were all overseas.

Her goal now was to break into the international scene.

There was a knock at the door.

Tong Luoyun signaled her assistant to open it.

“Tong Teacher, this is Meng Xue,” Brother Zhou introduced Meng Xue with respect. “My newly signed artist. She’s just starting out in her acting career and could use your guidance.”

“Meng Xue?” Tong Luoyun heard the name for the first time. She glanced at Meng Xue while playing with her nails, “Fine, I’ll give you some pointers when I have time.”

Meng Xue was overjoyed, “Thank you, Tong Teacher.”

With the guidance of Tong Luoyun, the foremost among the Four Great Actresses, she need not consider Si Fuqing a threat.

Elsewhere, in Southern State’s Hai City.

Tang Haiqiu was revising a script.

“Director Tang, Teacher Gu’s team has contacted us several times,” the assistant director said hesitantly. “They keep asking who the chosen female lead is.”

The assistant director, having worked with Tang Haiqiu for a long time, knew his temperament well.

Besides directing, Tang Haiqiu personally polished the scripts.

During the filming of “Sword Immortal,” even when the male lead complained about his lines, Tang Haiqiu refused to budge.

His script was sacrosanct.

Until Si Fuqing came along.

Tang Haiqiu had searched all of Great Xia and found no one who could surpass Si Fuqing’s beauty.

He had to modify the character of the Demon Realm Princess to the second most beautiful woman in all three realms, along with changes in dialogue and relationships.

“Tell them she’s not the one,” Tang Haiqiu said without looking up. “Who exactly has been chosen will be known on the day she joins the set.”

“Okay,” the assistant director hesitated, “But I expect Teacher Gu’s team won’t be pleased.”

“Let the work speak for itself,” Tang Haiqiu stated. “She deserved that award, and I acknowledge her talent, but she’s not the female lead I’m looking tor.” Had it not been for Si Fuqing, he would have settled for Gu Zhinan.

The assistant director nodded and left the room..
