Lin Qing arrived at the studio for her meeting with Wendy. As she passed by the trainee grounds where idols honed their skills, she checked around.
Lion Entertainments was renowned for its focus on nurturing rising stars, especially since they didn't have their own TV channel. However, with technology rapidly advancing, they were soon going to launch one of the best websites and apps in the country in the next few years, and their ratings would surpass most of those of traditional TV channels. This included Blossom Media, so Lin Qing contemplated changing this outcome for their benefit.
Observing the trainees, Lin Qing leisurely entered the conference room and was greeted by Wendy, who was dressed in a bright pink skirt and shirt combination that would look gaudy on most, but Wendy effortlessly carried it off pretty well.
Wendy had also been Su Huan's mother's agent, and as a mommy's boy, Su Huan wouldn't change agents even if people came to him with more talented or younger individuals.
Wendy was a career woman in her mid-40s, taking care of herself and mostly well-known for making the most money as an agent. She put on a smile when greeting Lin Qing.
"Ah, hello. You must be Miss Lin from Blossom Media?" Wendy said, extending her hand delicately.
Lin Qing shook her hand softly and responded, "Yes, Wendy, I am Lin Qing. It's a pleasure to meet you."
"So, Miss Lin, I heard that you're here to invite us for a project, is that right?" Wendy probed, her tone tinged with a hint of arrogance. "It's the male lead for a drama adaptation of a..."
Just when Lin Qing was about to continue, Wendy sighed, adjusted her glasses, and raised her chin. "Another drama? I thought we made it clear that our team wants to focus on movies now."
Internally rolling her eyes, Lin Qing patiently continued, "Yes, we've heard that before. But this drama is different. Firstly, it will not only air on a TV channel but also on our new website. We're also in talks to sell the rights internationally. That's why we're looking for someone of Su Huan's caliber to play the lead role."
Wendy's eyes lit up at the mention of selling rights, which meant a lot of money and free publicity. "That sounds promising. Before we proceed any further, I'd like to clarify a few things. What's the budget, how many episodes, and most importantly, what's in it for my star?" Wendy inquired about the important details.
After Lin Qing answered her questions, Wendy seemed satisfied and decided it was time to call Su Huan. "Well, I think this drama sounds great, but stars can be a bit capricious, so we need some time to sign the contract. I'll get in touch with Su Huan," she announced.
Lin Qing had actually come to the studio to talk with Su Huan. "Wouldn't it be nice to meet him face to face? I'll answer any of his questions if he has time," she mused.
Wendy didn't want to lose this important client but also didn't want to upset Su Huan. "I'll call him and ask," Wendy said to Lin Qing.
"Of course, Miss Wendy," Lin Qing replied and patiently waited.
"He'll be here in 10 minutes," Wendy said.
Finally, after half an hour, Su Huan arrived, his face filled with skepticism about taking on a character in a drama. As he entered, his eyes landed on Lin Qing.
He didn't hide his surprised expression. "Are you the creative director sent by Blossom Media?" his tone was light in joking manner.
Lin Qing maintained her polite professionalism . "Yes, this is one of the projects I personally oversee."
"I didn't know that you were working at the company," Su Huan remarked.
"Well, as a Lin, I should also contribute to my family," Lin Qing responded.
"Is Miss Lin interested in drama or me? If you're here to declare that you want to pick me instead, I have to say I am not interested in marriage," Su Huan joked.
Wendy listened to their conversation with her eyes wide open.
"What are you saying, brother-in-law? I already have a good relationship with Haoyu! Don't create rumors!!" Lin Qing retorted.
"Brother-in-law?" Su Huan repeated it and started laughing, while Lin Qing almost lost the professionalism she had forced so much.
'I'll show you, I'll get you NG'ed nth times when filming, so you know you shouldn't be messing with me,' Lin Qing thought.
Lin Qing changed the subject and explained, "Well, for starters, it's a chance for you to showcase your acting skills to a wider audience. With the capabilities of domestic channels, it's hard to reach so many people, you should know that.
Plus , I recommend that you read the script, it is incredibly well-written, so it's the perfect opportunity for you to prove your versatility as an actor, most of your roles are similar to each other, it's better to give yourself an image change if you're aiming for Hollywood. "
Su Huan remains skeptical. Lin Qing contuined with a smile, "Think about it, Mr. Su. A successful drama can open doors for you in the industry.
Who says domestic dramas can't reach worldwide population?
Maybe this drama will be so popular that it will catch the attention of Hollywood producers and studios."
After some contemplation, Su Huan agreed to give the offer serious consideration and read the script as soon as possible.
Lin Qing nodded understandingly but her mind was filled with what type of material to use to blackmail him if he doesn't agree.
"System tell me everything you know about him!"
"No, no, nevermind, don't tell me, just hack his phone and send everything in it on my black laptop!"
"Host, do you think it's a necessity?
I think he might have agree on it, since it is a production of Blossom media"
"System , aren't you supposed to be the intelligent one, there is a saying '先抓屁股,后抓屁股的人 ' "
"WHAT?
Host, you're not going to do something atrocious right?"
"Right?" System contuines to asking
*it means 'First grab the buttocks, then grab the person with the buttocks ' using for its good to have precautions .
