Chapter 190 Roommate Becomes Apprentice, Manager Cui
"If you plan to become a manager in the future and want to work with Yao Yao, I can be your mentor and teach you how to be a good assistant, and eventually become a capable manager for an artist." Luo Xiangzhi extended an olive branch to Cui Mengmeng.
Cui Mengmeng was overjoyed; she never imagined that one day she would become President Luo's apprentice.
Countless people in the industry want to get close to Mr. Luo but can't. It's said that Mr. Luo never takes on any disciples.
"Can I?" Cui Mengmeng was overjoyed; her slightly double chin made her look very cheerful.
Luo Xiangzhi felt that Cui Mengmeng had a very approachable face and was very meticulous. He believed that if she learned how to choose scripts suitable for her artists, how to select advertising endorsements, and how to help artists establish their personas, her future would be limitless.
The key is that this child has a kind heart and will definitely be loyal to Ning Yao, so Luo Xiangzhi is naturally happy to teach her.
“Okay.” Luo Xiangzhi handed his business card to Cui Mengmeng, and the two exchanged contact information.
Upon arriving at the filming location, everyone asked Luo Xiangzhi to get out of the car first, and then everyone else got out of the van one by one.
After entering the company gate, Ning Yao went to the front desk, explained her purpose, and was quickly greeted and taken to the shooting studio.
They arrived more than forty minutes early, but the cameramen hadn't arrived yet, and Shu Jing'an was still busy at school, so he would probably be a little late.
Luo Xiangzhi walked up to the three girls and said with a smile, "I have something to do, so I won't keep you company any longer."
Ning Yao nodded in understanding. Her uncle had said from the beginning that he was just stopping by to see her and then brought her to the entertainment company under Tianxia Media.
After watching Luo Xiangzhi leave, Cui Mengmeng couldn't contain her joy and slapped him hard across the face.
Ning Yao and Xin Yujue quickly grabbed Cui Mengmeng's wrists, one on each side, to prevent her from hitting herself again.
"What are you doing?" Xin Yujue asked, amused.
"This is unbelievable! I actually became President Luo's apprentice." Cui Mengmeng couldn't believe that such a huge windfall had fallen into her lap.
"Yaoyao, ever since I met you, my life has been like a fantasy novel! You are truly my lucky goddess!"
"I hereby declare that Luo Xiyao is my first goddess, and the only goddess in my life!"
Cui Mengmeng has never been a fan of female celebrities, so Luo Xiyao is truly her first.
Ning Yao couldn't help but chuckle and gently pinched Cui Mengmeng's cheek.
The group waited in the video studio, but Luo Xiangzhi showed up uninvited and went upstairs to meet with the company's general manager.
When Ning Yao first entered the entertainment industry, if someone with connections hadn't come along to support her, she might have encountered some sleazy bosses who habitually took advantage of newcomers.
His niece is so beautiful, so pure and lovely, how could he, as her uncle, not protect her?
Director Guo is an upright man, but he is devoted to his filmmaking career and hardly cares about the private affairs of the stars and bosses. If Ning Yao really encounters trouble on set, Director Guo will not care. He only cares about making sure the actors make good films and controlling the quality.
As for unspoken rules, actors can take precautions if they have their own ways of dealing with them, and if they can't, it's not the director's responsibility.
Luo Xiangzhi came here to meet the producer of the production team, and later he will also visit the heads of several investors in the production.
Upon hearing that General Manager Luo had arrived, the general manager of Boxue Entertainment Company immediately postponed his meeting and went to greet him without hesitation.
"Mr. Luo, what brings you to my company amidst your busy schedule? Is there a female celebrity you've taken a fancy to?" The general manager, dressed in a well-tailored suit, cautiously inquired about Luo Xiangzhi's purpose.
Luo Xiangzhi is not only an excellent agent, but also an investor that the production team tries their best to win over; he has a lot of money.
"You recently collaborated with Director Guo on a drama, right?" Luo Xiangzhi sat on the sofa, his face no longer bearing the gentle smile he had when he was with Ning Yao, but instead showing a serious and shrewd expression.
"Yes, it's 'The Palm of My Hand.' The roles have already been decided; they're all college students who haven't graduated yet." The general manager wondered to himself, "Could it be that Luo Xiangzhi is going to squeeze in an actor?"
Luo Xiangzhi knew perfectly well that it was Director Guo's drama. Director Guo was not someone to be trifled with. No one, not even the investors and producers, could interfere with the people he chose. If the casting didn't meet his expectations, he would quit on the spot.
The general manager couldn't figure out Luo Xiangzhi's intentions, so he could only wait and see, and try to find out more by chatting a bit more.
Are you interested in this show?
"Could you show me the information of those selected college students?"
"That's convenient, I'll go get it for you right away."
The general manager hurriedly took out the information on Ning Yao, Shu Jing'an, and Xin Yujue and respectfully handed it to Luo Xiangzhi.
Luo Xiangzhi flipped through it casually, without looking at it carefully. The general manager, standing beside him, was even less sure what Luo Xiangzhi meant.
Seeing that the time was about right, Luo Xiangzhi stopped beating around the bush and said in a deep voice, "I don't care what methods you use to promote the TV series this time, but you can't do anything negative about this girl, and you certainly can't ask her to accompany people for drinks."
Luo Xiangzhi tapped Ning Yao's file a few times, neither too hard nor too soft, causing the coffee table to thud.
Following Luo Xiangzhi's gesture, the general manager saw the name Luo Xiyao. This girl was truly beautiful; even her ID photo showed her with delicate features. Just looking at the photo, one could sense an undeniable charm. She was a promising talent.
Newcomers who grow up like this are often subject to the industry's unspoken rules; being asked to drink with investors is a common occurrence and something everyone is used to.
The general manager immediately understood Luo Xiangzhi's intention. Most likely, this girl had caught Luo's eye, and Luo was protecting her.
"I understand. Don't worry, this girl will definitely not suffer any injustice in our crew," the general manager assured him, patting his chest.
"Hmm." Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Luo Xiangzhi immediately got up to leave.
The general manager quickly followed and saw the person out the gate.
After Luo Xiangzhi left, the general manager was amazed. Luo Xiangzhi had never been very famous in the industry. Rumor had it that he kept a lot of mistresses and was a well-known sugar daddy in the industry.
This female college student, who hasn't even graduated yet, has already hooked up with Luo Xiangzhi. It seems her methods are quite extraordinary.
No wonder, everything this girl wore, carried, and wore was from high-end luxury brands.
If she were truly an innocent female college student, where would she get so much money?
They had also investigated the actress's background, and Luo Xiyao's family background was just average, not even close to being from a wealthy family.
After calming down, the general manager quickly gave instructions to everyone in the crew to treat Luo Xiyao with respect and not to neglect her, so as not to displease Luo Xiangzhi.
You should know that if you're not careful enough and offend Luo Xiangzhi in the entertainment industry, you can forget about ever making a living in the industry again.
