Chapter 366: This is the sugar daddy! [3 updates]
Chen Li was an agent at Skywalk Entertainment, and she had once brought up an international movie king.
However, after the international movie king terminated his contract with Skywalk Entertainment, Chen Li no longer had a top artist under her wing, with the most famous one being just a second-tier star, and her status had plummeted.
That was until this year when Chen Li brought up a Ye Xi.
After Ye Xi finished filming “Powdered Spy Shadow” with Shang Yaozhi, she shot to fame and became the hottest in-demand female star with countless fans.
Chen Li’s status in Skywalk Entertainment naturally rose with the tide, as many artists wanted to sign with her.
Ye Xi was currently thriving, with endless invitations, and Chen Li didn’t have to worry at all.
She chose a few newcomers and sent them to participate in “Youth 202”.
Even before the auditions for “Youth 202” began, Chen Li had already taken note of Yun Heyue.
There were many beauties in the entertainment industry—many who were more beautiful than Yun Heyue.
But talented youngsters were indeed becoming rarer and rarer nowadays.
Shang Yaozhi was an exceptional case.
Chen Li decisively contacted Yun Heyue, intending to sign her.
After several attempts, she was rejected.
A promising seedling that couldn’t be signed by her, Chen Li also wouldn’t allow Yun Heyue to enter a rival company.
Otherwise, with Yun Heyue’s capabilities, if she debuted, she would certainly become a new top trend in the entertainment industry.
Taking advantage of the situation, she still had the power to suppress Yun Heyue.
With five minutes left before the singing audition finished, Chen Li greeted one of the music instructors, planning to use up all the time originally allotted for Yun Heyue.
This instructor had a deep relationship with her; thus, Yun Heyue’s singing score would only amount to zero.
Even if Yun Heyue’s dance score was perfect, it would not surpass the contestants Chen Li had brought.
She just wanted to suppress Yun Heyue, to corner her into a dead end.
That way, Yun Heyue would either have to sign a contract with her, or she’d have to roll out of the entertainment industry without any chance of singing or dancing. freewēbnoveℓ.com
Yun Heyue ignored Chen Li and took out her phone to type a message to Ying Zijin.
[Sister, it’s okay.]
[They’re all weak, I can make it into the top ten just by dancing.]
Ying Zijin fell silent for a split second.
It reminded her of Tinglan’s comment about the kids in the Elite Class being foolish.
“First place is yours, if it’s meant to be,” Ying Zijin opened WeChat and sent a message to her female secretary.
After sending it, she sat down and said indifferently, “Wait a moment and have something to eat.”
She promised Yu Xuesheng she would take care of Yun Heyue, and she would help her to the end.
Yun Heyue obediently sat down with her.
Watching this scene, Chen Li approached.
She didn’t take Ying Zijin seriously at all—an assistant was nothing to worry about.
“Yun Heyue, as a senior in the entertainment circle, I advise you to just be obedient,” Chen Li smiled, “Signing a contract is just about a name, and you don’t have a company. Do you really think you can debut in the end?”
Talent shows are all about capital competition.
Yun Heyue continued to ignore Chen Li, playing the Match-3 game online with Ying Zijin.
Chen Li frowned, displeased, but just as she was about to speak again, the hall door was suddenly pushed open.
A roar startled the contestants waiting outside, carrying a sense of urgency and frustration.
“Who’s using someone else’s audition time? Huh? Get out here now! Do you think you own this place? Hurry up! Get out! Don’t make me say it again!”
Chen Li’s smile froze, she looked up abruptly, her expression changing: “Producer Li?”
Producer Li didn’t even glance at Chen Li as he stormed to the studio door and kicked it open again.
Pointing to the contestant still inside, he scolded in front of everyone, “Do you think you’re God, that everyone should cater to you? Taking someone else’s time? What rubbish!”
The contestants were scolded into shock.
Including the music instructor who had a deal with Chen Li, his face turned pale.
Producer Li, still fuming after his tirade, threw his folder onto the floor with a thud, “Want to get more screen time, is that it? Scores will be given strictly by performance, and anyone maliciously using others’ time will have their scores halved!”
Producer Li was in a panic himself.
Whether it’s these auditions or future performance voting, manipulation by the major companies was expected.
Without backing, suppression was common in the entertainment industry.
Producer Li had never taken the auditions that seriously, but a phone call from Chuguang Media had hit him like a ton of bricks.
The message was this —
“What great authority the production team has, failing to maintain fairness and the interests of the contestants. What’s the point of holding the competition? No need to continue.”
Chuguang Media was the biggest investor this time, even surpassing Skywalk Entertainment as one of the sponsors.
They were the major backers!
What if they became displeased and withdrew funding?
After the call, Producer Li rushed over from his office in a flurry.
As for Chen Li?
