As Yang Ziyin’s agent, Hao Xiaolian naturally holds a significant standing in the entertainnt circle, and her professional level is top-tier. It’s safe to say that Yang Ziyin’s fa today is largely due to the outstanding work of this agent.
When Yang Ziyin was just a little girl, Hao Xiaolian imdiately noticed her potential and beca her agent, helping her rise to stardom single-handedly.
This ti, Yang Ziyin encountered such a situation alone in Austria. It was fortunate she t fellow compatriots Chen Feng and his group there, who, with their help, managed to resolve the situation well, especially in recovering the stolen jewelry, valued at millions, successfully. This favor is not insignificant.
Of course, this isn’t the main reason Hao Xiaolian values Chen Feng and his companions so much. The key reason is she heard from Yang Ziyin that Chen Feng is a wealthy man and friends with the major shareholder of the company Zhang Yuxi signed with.
In the entertainnt circle, the favorite kind of people to associate with are those with money, especially ones outside the circle. Wealth and influential patrons are exactly what every celebrity competes to curry favor with.
Chen Feng seems to be such a major patron, so Hao Xiaolian naturally regards him highly, not to ntion he helped Yang Ziyin this ti.
Everyone enjoyed the al, chatting happily about various topics.
Yang Ziyin and Hao Xiaolian didn’t directly inquire into Chen Feng’s background but instead subtly ntioned Zhang Yuxi, leading to a conversation about her. Both Hao Xiaolian and Yang Ziyin know Zhang Yuxi, and Hao Xiaolian even ntioned that she almost signed Zhang Yuxi back then, but Sister Hua beat her to it.
However, she and Sister Hua are quite good friends and even worked together at the sa company back in the day.
Then, from the topic of the previous al Chen Feng had with Zhang Yuxi, they learned that Chen Feng’s friend is Tao Yaoyang.
Though Tao Yaoyang is just a major shareholder in an entertainnt company and not deeply involved in the circle, his na is known by both Hao Xiaolian and Yang Ziyin. They’ve even t him at so occasions and exchanged words.
Privately, they are also aware of Tao Yaoyang’s background and so deeds, and they regard him with both caution and awe.
After chatting, the two stopped at brief encounters, without further inquiring into Chen Feng’s relationship with Tao Yaoyang.
But they could basically confirm that, as Chen Feng could be friends with Tao Yaoyang and was specifically invited to a al with Zhang Yuxi by him, Chen Feng’s background must be extraordinary too.
To be shown courtesy by Tao Yaoyang, it’s not just about having money.
Therefore, during this al, Hao Xiaolian was outgoing and shared so inside stories and fun facts from the entertainnt circle, especially so celebrity gossip, which left Wu ngting and Sun Xiaorui sowhat stunned, and even Chen Feng couldn’t help but sigh, "The city plays hard."
After the al, the group returned to the hotel, where they each went back to their rooms.
Yang Ziyin and her group changed to a suite on the sa floor this ti, with three bedrooms for the four of them to share.
Back in the room, Hao Xiaolian said seriously, "Chen Feng hides his talents thoroughly; it’s worth befriending him. In the future, if you have ti, try to contact more. It should only benefit you."
Yang Ziyin nodded and said, "I think so too. I’ve heard so things about Tao Yaoyang; he’s a powerful and ruthless person. For Chen Feng to be his friend and specifically host him with Zhang Yuxi, he must have so skills."
Hao Xiaolian nodded in agreent, "Indeed. With people like them, it’s best to be friends and definitely not enemies."
Yang Ziyin then said, "Sister Lian, when you have ti, have soone reassess a web novel called ’Golden Hairpin Fate,’ which I liked over a year ago and tried to buy the rights to. Later, the price was too high, and we didn’t agree."
"’Golden Hairpin Fate’? I think I rember it; how did it suddenly co up again?" Hao Xiaolian asked curiously.
Yang Ziyin smiled slightly and said, "Wu ngting wrote this book. I found out when we slept together last night. Isn’t that a coincidence?"
"That is quite the coincidence," Hao Xiaolian slightly widened her eyes and said, "But, since we didn’t reach an agreent with the site previously, it’ll surely be pricier if we try again now, and harder to secure."
Yang Ziyin laughed and said, "Let’s assess it first, then offer a price. I think if it’s under five million, it’s still worth buying. If more, then there’s nothing we can do. But our attitude must be in place. In this way, I can befriend Wu ngting. I find her to be quite talented; she might write another great work.
Last night, I already told her we could take the physical publication route, keeping the rights in our own hands. I see it as an opportunity. We’ve invested in filming three TV dramas in the past two years, and though the ratings were decent, none beca a blockbuster. ’Golden Hairpin Fate’, in my previous view, has the potential to be a hit if adapted. But the price was too high. The best we can do is gamble on her next novel becoming a hit.
Besides, most importantly, I believe Chen Feng is willing to finance her initially for publishing, and subsequently, if I just go with the flow, he could fund the adaptation into a TV series, where I’ll be the lead actress."
After hearing Yang Ziyin’s words, Hao Xiaolian nodded knowingly, smiling, "You’re thinking far ahead. However, since she could write good novels before, it’s likely her next ones won’t be bad either. Worth your investnt."
Yang Ziyin grinned sowhat proudly at this.
anwhile, back with Chen Feng and the three won in the room, since it wasn’t too late, everyone stayed in the living room chatting.
The three won all had a good impression of Yang Ziyin and Hao Xiaolian, then Wu ngting also brought up that Yang Ziyin is a fan of her books, and that she almost bought the rights to one of them.
She had actually wanted to bring it up earlier, but there was never an appropriate chance; now seed just right.
Chen Feng and his group found this quite surprising, as evidently, they had underestimated the quality of Wu ngting’s novels.
Then Wu ngting said, "I’ve been storing up Chapters for a new novel now; Sister Ying suggests I don’t sign with the site but opt for physical publication, controlling the rights myself. If the book catches on, I could sell the rights for a big sum. What do you all think of this plan?"
Chen Feng imdiately expressed support, "If you’ve decided, I fully support you. First, look for a publisher; if none are interested, I’ll help you fund the book yourself."
"Thank you, brother. I knew you’d support ," Wu ngting said happily, almost rushing forward to hug him and give a kiss, though she managed to restrain herself.
"I’ve read both of your books. Although I’m not particularly fond of female-oriented novels, I have to admit both of yours are quite well-written. Especially ’Golden Hairpin Fate’ really stands out. If adapted into a TV series, it would surely attract quite an audience."
