Golden Agent of the Adonis (130)
“We were just about done talking. Did you finish shooting your scenes today?” She reached out to take the fruits he was carrying, asking him to change his shoes.
Fang Zhenxuan dodged her hand. “It’s heavy, I’ll handle it.”
Fang Yuan, being observant, went over to take the fruits and went to the kitchen to prepare a fruit platter. Xia Lingling’s eyes were filled with stars, and she clenched her jaw tightly to prevent herself from screaming in excitement.
Fang Zhenxuan greeted everyone with a smile and said, “The shooting went smoothly today, and we finished early. I wanted to come back and see everyone, and also get to know Brother Mu Sen and Lingling. We’re all going to be a family from now on.”
This cunning boy clearly came back to assert his authority. Chu Xiang suppressed her laughter and gestured for him to take a seat. After a short while of casual conversation, Mu Sen and Xia Lingling bid their farewells and left. Only Chu Xiang and Fang Zhenxuan remained in the room.
Chu Xiang shifted on the sofa, smiling at Fang Zhenxuan. He cleared his throat and said, “What’s up? I came here to get to know everyone. We’re going to be a small group in the future, right?”
“Who would believe you? You came back early just to see them, right? I’ve already settled them down. From now on, they’ll be flying around with you.”
“Really?” Fang Zhenxuan blurted out, coughed twice, and smiled. “Well, I intentionally came back. Um… about you nurturing Xiao Lin and Fang Yuan, are you planning to open a studio in the future?”
The topic abruptly changed and seemed forced, but Chu Xiang went along with it as she saw the joyful expression on his face. She did indeed have plans to open her own studio. There was no reason for her to work for others forever. Her previous cordial relationship with the company was just to make things easier. Having a backing when starting out was better than having none.
Now, she was gradually accumulating her own capital, and of course, being her own boss was more comfortable. She wouldn’t have to consult anyone about anything. It was for this reason that she only had Fang Zhenxuan sign a two-year contract with the company. Even when signing the new Mu Sen and Xia Lingling, she convinced Manager Liang to agree to a little over a year, ending their contracts at the same time as Fang Zhenxuan.
The company also recognized her value, and they knew she would leave sooner or later. If she couldn’t take her artists with her, she could still make others popular. If the company became her enemy, she could potentially snatch their resources. It didn’t make sense for a big company to do that. Instead, they should let her make money for the company for these two years. When she leaves, she can take her artists with her. In the end, she would continue to cooperate with the company, benefiting each other and achieving a win-win situation.
However, her current influence in the entertainment industry was not large enough, so she wasn’t in a hurry to establish her own studio. She planned to take her time to identify and cultivate the right candidates.
Chu Xiang and Fang Zhenxuan discussed their plans while eating fruit, and they talked for a long time. When she mentioned that she wanted to guide Mu Sen and Xia Lingling in variety show skills, Fang Zhenxuan immediately took charge of that. He had been guided by her on how to excel in hosting a variety show, and out of habit, he had taken a lot of notes. They were all his experiences, valuable insights.
He organized his notes and sent them to his two junior colleagues. He didn’t mind putting in the extra effort himself if it meant Chu Xiang could focus more on him. Chu Xiang was happy to relax and let him handle it.
Mu Sen took the notes and studied them diligently. Meanwhile, Xia Lingling, as an avid shipper lying at the bottom of the pit, researched the notes like she was injected with chicken blood. She swore not to disappoint them. Otherwise, she might lose the opportunity to pursue the CP up close.
Many people in the industry knew that Chu Xiang had signed two new artists. They speculated that she would focus on promoting the newcomers and put Fang Zhenxuan aside as he was already popular. However, to their surprise, she continued to work with him on his projects, leaving the young fresh meat who envied Fang Zhenxuan feeling disheartened. They felt like they had no chance of surpassing him if Chu Xiang continued to prioritize him. The era belonged to Fang Zhenxuan.
Especially a few days after Chu Xiang signed the new artists, Fang Zhenxuan announced three high-quality endorsements. Both of the newly signed artists also appeared on top-notch variety shows. This left people unable to stir up trouble or spread rumors. These resources were coveted by many other celebrities. Chu Xiang was truly good to her artists!
Mu Sen and Xia Lingling’s few fans were ecstatic. They celebrated and shed tears of joy for their idols. It was Chu Xiang, the hottest talent manager in the entertainment industry this year, and such a great opportunity had unexpectedly come to them. Their idols were about to become popular!
Their fans immediately turned their attention to Chu Xiang. They left comments and sent her messages filled with flattery. These amused her to no end, and she shared them with Mu Sen and Xia Lingling, encouraging them to do their best.
Fang Zhenxuan quickly finished filming his scenes for Plot Twist and successfully wrapped up the production. He treated the entire cast and crew to a meal and bid farewell to the drama. Taking advantage of the break before filming his variety show, he filmed several promotional videos and posters for his endorsement deals.
The previous endorsement contracts also required new promotional materials. While shooting the ZX watch advertisement, Chu Xiang encountered Chen Lifeng.
Chen Lifeng approached her when he saw her and said, “Do you have time? I’d like to talk to you alone.”
With many people watching, Chu Xiang smiled and replied, “Sure, let’s go to the nearby café.” She gave Fang Zhenxuan a reassuring look and went to the café with him.
Chen Lifeng noticed her gaze and sarcastically remarked after entering the private room, “You treat him well. You’re much more attentive to him than you were to me before.”
