Chapter 88

Liu Qianqian's dedicated rest room. ∈♀

Several assistants had already been sent away, leaving only Liu Qianqian and her agent, Brother Tong.

"Is he the one who helped that day?"

Seeing Liu Qianqian put down her phone, Brother Tong asked.

"Yes, it's him."

"What did he say on the phone?"

"Hehe, he said I mistook him for someone else."

Mistook him for someone else?

Brother Tong's eyes lit up.

Ha, interesting, very interesting!

I see, no wonder he was acting so strangely before, saying a bunch of pointless nonsense...

This young man is good, very good!

If Mai Xiaoyu had used that incident as leverage to make demands, it would have been a loss; but now, by pretending to be clueless, it won't cause any awkwardness between both sides.

Brother Tong's impression of Mai Xiaoyu greatly improved, and he nodded in approval, "No wonder you can run your own film and television company at such a young age. This young man knows how to handle people, he's got a knack for it."

"Yes, President Chen really appreciates him. He even wanted to recruit him, but he refused, and Chen has always regretted it."

"Really? President Chen has very high standards."

Liu Qianqian lowered her voice, "Brother Tong, you didn't know, did you? Last time, when someone was up to no good, he was the first to notice and warn President Chen."

Brother Tong's expression changed slightly.

Last time, when Chen Xiangxi and Liu Qianqian were meeting at a hotel, someone leaked the news, and entertainment reporters surrounded the hotel, creating a very dangerous situation.

Since her debut, Liu Qianqian has been packaged by the company as a pure and innocent image.

She is publicly known to have never been in a relationship, have no boyfriend, and no scandals, maintaining her reputation for purity and integrity, which has won her a large number of fans.

Moreover, at that time, she gained rapid popularity for her pitiful and touching role in the movie "The Last Love." The company was in talks with the "Return of the Condor Heroes 3" production team to secure the role of Xia Zhiwei, helping her become a top-tier star.

If the entertainment reporters had exposed the incident, it's unknown whether fans would have committed suicide out of disappointment, but she would certainly have been thrust into the spotlight. Not to mention securing the role of Xia Zhiwei or becoming a top-tier star, even maintaining her current popularity would be a problem!

At the time, everyone was trying to help Liu Qianqian get out of the situation, and no one thought about the possibility of someone being up to no good.

"It seems I underestimated him," Brother Tong thought for a moment. "What's the name of their company again? Mengren Film and Television, right? That young agent looks familiar. I'll talk to her separately later."

Liu Qianqian also said, "Brother Tong, could you please inform the production team to arrange for me and Liu Tao to share a makeup room and a rest room?"

On the day Liu Tao joined the production, she created a miracle for a newcomer—sharing a makeup room and a rest room with Liu Qianqian during the shooting.

Who is she?

I've never heard of her before.

Is she a new debutante?

Is this her first work?

What kind of luck did she have to get Liu Qianqian's attention right after joining the production?

Although the production team claimed it was to facilitate script reading with Liu Qianqian, everyone knew it was just an excuse. In reality, it was a signal from Liu Qianqian—Liu Tao is under my protection, don't bully her.

Is this overkill?

No, no, no!

In the small world of a production team, having a big shot's protection makes a huge difference.

Liu Qianqian is a second-tier actress, but she is one of the most influential actors in the "Return of the Condor Heroes 3" production team.

With her protection, Liu Tao can avoid many unnecessary troubles during the next few months of shooting and benefit greatly.

This is one of the important aspects of networking in the entertainment industry!

"You are Liu Tao, who plays Princess Musa, right? I've seen the Dove commercial you shot, you look so beautiful and have such great presence."

"Your skin is so good, what cosmetics do you use?"

"Teacher Liu Tao, I am Assistant Director Xiao Wang from the production team. Please call me if you need anything."

"Teacher Liu Tao..."

As a complete newcomer, Liu Tao's first day on the set was smooth, with no awkwardness or barriers. Supporting actors, role actors, and staff were particularly warm... all thanks to Mai Xiaoyu.

Li Xue had the same feeling.

After Mai Xiaoyu left, Li Xue started taking advantage of the breaks to hand out business cards and build connections in the industry.

The entertainment industry is all about fame and profit, and after a long time in it, people can easily become worldly.

Look at Mengren's current situation:

Liu Tao is a complete newcomer.

Li Xue is even newer.

As for Mengren Film and Television... is it even a company or just a studio?

What benefits would I get from connecting with you?

How would it help my acting career?

Nothing?

Then why should I get to know you?

Just thinking about how you can help me and take advantage of me?

Ha ha!

Li Xue's initial efforts were difficult, but then Liu Qianqian's agent, Brother Tong, appeared.

Who is Brother Tong?

A seasoned agent with extensive experience and a wide network.

If Liu Qianqian becomes a top-tier star, his status will rise, and he can shed the "seasoned" label and become a top agent!

Brother Tong didn't need to do anything special; just by walking over and chatting with Li Xue and exchanging business cards, he could change how others perceived her.

Li Xue felt a bit overwhelmed.

It was like when she first enrolled at Yanjing Broadcasting University and saw well-known hosts who often appeared on TV in person.

Their conversation was meaningful. After a few polite exchanges, Brother Tong changed the topic to Li Bingbing.

They have some similarities.

When they parted, Brother Tong specifically told her that if she had any questions in her future work, she could call him.

Is it because of my sister?

No way, my sister doesn't have that much influence.

And when we met Teacher Liu before, he wasn't like this.

It must be related to President Mai!

Otherwise, why would he suggest visiting Liu Qianqian out of the blue?

Liu Tao and Li Xue both called Mai Xiaoyu, excitedly telling him about their experiences and asking questions.

"President Mai, did you know Teacher Liu before?"

"President Mai, how do you know Brother Tong?"

Please enlighten us!

Mai Xiaoyu didn't have the patience to explain much, brushing them off with a few words and hanging up, then stepped on the gas and sped back to the company.

He had just received a call from Zhang Xiaoquan, and something had happened at the company!

"Teacher Zhang, what happened?"

Rushing to the company, Mai Xiaoyu loudly asked as soon as he entered.

In the office, Zhang Xiaoquan, Deng Chao, and all the employees, along with several members, were gathered in the office area, discussing something in a chaotic manner.

Some were angry, some were cursing, some were panicked, and some were at a loss, like a disorganized group.

Seeing Mai Xiaoyu return, everyone seemed to find their leader and gathered around him.

"President Mai, it's bad!"

"President Mai, something big happened."

"President Mai, my contract was terminated."

"President Mai, they are bullying us too much!"

Quiet, everyone, quiet!

Mai Xiaoyu's shout calmed the situation, and he asked Zhang Xiaoquan, "Teacher Zhang, tell me, in detail."

In detail?

The matter was not complicated.

It could be said in one sentence.

Mengren Film and Television has been blacklisted!
