Actually, Second Sister Jin and her so-called "mighty duo" hadn’t truly co to an agreent...
Dostic female stars generally fall into three categories.
The first type will do anything if the price is right.
For example... let’s not go there; it’s too offensive.
Keyword: ...sorry, my mistake, deleted.
They are actually a minority, and not one of them has truly hit it big. It’s not about daring to sell oneself, but about daring to grit one’s teeth and strive for self-improvent; those are the genuinely formidable ones.
The second type only accepts exchanges for significant benefits.
There are far too many of these to count.
Take Fan Soone, for example. She’s incredibly dedicated at banquets, always ensuring the sponsors’ VIPs enjoy their drinks. However, that’s as far as she goes; she genuinely doesn’t do anything more.
After all these years and countless banquets, has anyone ever heard a coal magnate brag about getting Fan Soone?
Outsiders shouldn’t even dream about it; this truly isn’t about money.
So, before her incident, Fan Soone had an excellent reputation in the business world. She was adept at handling matters, hardworking, displayed no diva behavior, and avoided ssy scandals. Her partners were very satisfied.
But when it ca to big directors and top producers... COUGH, COUGH, she was even more desperate.
The third type accepts benefits in exchange but doesn’t use their body as a bargaining chip.
Actually, among the new generation of female artists in the Mainland, this type is the mainstream.
Take Zha Zha, for example. Despite having had so many relationships, just look at who she dated—what pathetic little losers, right?
Apart from Zhang Tangzhu, who was sothing of an A-list gatekeeper at the ti, the others were of no use to her—no fa, no talent.
But as they say, a fortune can’t buy a lady’s fancy. Hey, I get carried away, and I like it!
Seriously, you couldn’t find another female star as wildly unrestrained as her in the dostic entertainnt industry. She genuinely dared to risk her career and financial prospects on relationships...
However, it’s true that this girl doesn’t accept the "unspoken rules."
She attends all normal business dinners, brand collaborations, and investor gatherings she’s supposed to. But swapping her body for resources? No way.
You all can’t tarnish my belief in love!
And there are quite a few female artists like her.
Take the Great Tang Poet Immortal and the three beauties from Xijiang, for example. Although they have different personalities, they are all quite serious about their relationships, caring neither for money nor status; it’s all for love.
The most peculiar one is i Ba—"I don’t need love; I just want a career!"
Loads of people pursue her, but she always says, "Sorry, I’m not interested in relationships right now."
I’ll work hard until I’m thirty-five, and then I’m going to get myself a toy boy!
Such a clear-headed girl...
Then, even more peculiar is An Xi, who lives freely by herself with her cats and dogs, indifferent to her career and even more so to relationships.
Everyone in the industry knows her romance with Song Oppa was a publicity stunt. *The Three Loves* had turned out to be such a flop when it was screened internally that everyone was rendered speechless, leading to the release date being postponed repeatedly...
Later, when the film company had no other options, they had both leads sign an additional agreent.
Back then, co-productions were practically mandatory. Plus, Sister Xiao Li had invested a small amount of money, so... you understand.
So, the movie wrapped in October 2014. They didn’t dare release it on Valentine’s Day 2015, nor during the sumr holidays, nor on the Qixi Festival. Eventually, Nan Bang reluctantly released it, and it tanked spectacularly...
Later, the Chinese side dragged it out as long as possible. Then, in September 2015, the male lead suddenly announced the relationship unilaterally.
But after signing the contract, Liu Soone barely pretended to be in the relationship, not even interacting on Weibo, let alone showing up for birthday surprises.
This infuriated the film company, who cursed heatedly in private.
Eventually, as the box office was beyond saving, the affair just fizzled out.
As a result, many in the industry question An Xi’s ntal health. Her rebellious phase seems to have extended to the age of thirty-five. She wasn’t looking for a boyfriend or a girlfriend, nor was she striving to make money from her work, leaving everyone wondering what she did cooped up at ho all day.
In conclusion, the current female stars in the dostic entertainnt industry are no longer puppets that companies can freely manipulate.
Second Sister Jin kept shooting pointed glances at Zha Zha and Qing Ting, but to no avail—Qing Ting pretended not to notice, and Zha Zha genuinely didn’t.
Consequently, Han Lie and a few of the older n chatted away rrily.
They knew exactly what to do, far better than the inexperienced Zha Zha and i Ba.
Their conversation was delightful, always hitting the right notes and keeping Han Lie highly flattered throughout.
What did they talk about?
Gossip, of course!
Huang Sanshi discussed the Film Academy, Wu Qilong spoke about film crews, Su Xiao talked about producers and investors, and Peng Hu described the cutthroat rivalries within the Broadcasting and Entertainnt Group...
Han Lie joined in, discussing the financial world, how old Xu made his fortune, and the intricacies of private equity fundraising...
Actually, many of these things were universal. When it ca down to it, they all sighed in realization—So it’s the sa in your circles too!
The al proceeded in high spirits, with both host and guests thoroughly enjoying themselves.
After the al, they moved to a small lounge to savor so wine, eventually guiding the conversation back to business matters.
Great Secret ushered the bewildered and timid i Ba aside. She then sat near Han Lie and asked in a slightly saccharine voice, "President Han, could your private equity fund include too?"
Her voice was saccharine, but her posture was very proper; she maintained a distance of at least a ter from Han Lie.
It wasn’t even close to a seductive ploy.
Han Lie nodded generously. "Sure! It’s my honor that Sister Mi trusts . For anything under five million, you can co and sign anyti!"
Great Secret’s happiness lasted barely two seconds before she rolled her eyes.
Five million? Is he teasing ?
"Shouldn’t you at least give your big sister a quota of twenty million? What can I possibly do with just five million~~~"
"That won’t work."
