Chapter 286: The Best Manager
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Dongyue Culture and Entertainnt was the industry’s largest managent company and had a skyscraper in the most bustling part of the city.
Many famous artistes and even the top gastars were managed by them. Not only did they manage singers, but they were also responsible for helping many film stars, TV stars, models, and other types of celebrities.
Lin Yunan’s office was on the 34th floor.
Xia Ling took the elevator. As she looked out of the glass elevator, she could see that as the floor number increased, the number of people on each floor decreased. Furthermore, people seed to dress better as the floor number increased. The people on the higher floors were more famous, and soon, she saw familiar faces.
It seed that the hierarchy system here was the sa as in Imperial Entertainnt. The higher the floor, the higher the status of the people there.
Xia Ling recalled the unwritten rules of Imperial Entertainnt and soon was clear of the workplace culture of Dongyue Culture and Entertainnt. Lin Yunan’s office was very close to the top floor. This was literally a small miracle for soone who was able to retain his job but not his salary.
No wonder Feng Kun strongly recomnded him.
As Xia Ling thought about it, the elevator stopped on the 34th floor. She stepped out of the elevator and found herself on a long and quiet marble corridor. As she walked along the corridor, there were office rooms with numbers on their doors. She rembered that Lin Yunan’s office number was 3408 and continued ahead to look for it.
As she walked, she passed by two groups of people and faintly heard the conversation of a popular female movie star and her manager. They were discussing the conflict in roles, and her manager was asking her to consider sothing else. There was also the publicity team of an artiste she did not know that was arguing about the problems that were faced during the dia conference as they walked.
No one looked at her as she walked.
She rarely felt this neglected feeling. In Skyart, she was used to everyone’s smiles. For a mont, she felt as if she returned back to the ti of her rebirth when she was unknown, and nobody cared about her.
In fact, compared to the big shots on this floor, she was truly less known. Even if “Stray Cat” was currently an amazing and popular song, she was still lacking in qualifications. She had few songs, and no one could predict whether her fa would last. In this industry, not only were the people utilitarian, even the fans grew tired of the old and loved the new. Many singers beca famous because of one or two songs but then disappeared after that. As she had not secured her position yet, it was normal to receive this sort of treatnt.
She continued walking calmly.
“Hi, Ye Xingling.” Suddenly, she heard soone greet her and was taken aback. She turned around and saw a tall man wearing Armani gently smiling.
Xia Ling took a few seconds to recognize him. “Brother Rong?” Her eyes slightly widened. “It really is you. I didn’t think that I would et you here.”
The man in front of her was Rong Ping, and she t him while working with him on the film “War and Death.” Although Rong Ping was the main character while Xia Ling only had a small role and only had very few chances to speak to him, Rong Ping rembered that the award-winning head director Jin Yifei was very friendly towards her, and Old Master Gu even personally brought his granddaughter to apologize to her.
This girl was not simple.
Rong Ping had a strong inkling that even though she broke up with Big Boss Li of Skyart Entertainnt and was rumored to have left Skyart because she was abandoned, things were not as they appeared to be.
At the very least, the fact that she was unbelievably able to renew her endorsent advertisent with the Gu Financial Magnate was very telling.
To survive in this industry, networking was very important, and sotis, connections were very powerful. Rong Ping did not mind establishing friendly connections with Ye Xingling before she beca famous. If she beca famous one day, he would be considered an acquaintance, and their friendship would not be normal anymore. Perhaps she would be useful in the future.
As such, Rong Ping smiled at her. “I think I should be the one not expecting to et you here. Looking at you, you must have chosen Dongyue.”
Recently, reports were spreading about managers competing to work with her. Seeing that she ca alone to this building, he guessed that she had made her decision.
“So you are also an artiste managed by Dongyue?” Xia Ling did not really know much about these companies and the celebrities they worked with. After she said that, she realized that what she asked might have been a little risky. Rong Ping was a king-status movie actor, and she seed to have undermined him.
Rong Ping’s expression did not change, but the entourage beside him let out slightly disdainful looks. They did not think that she was looking down on him but felt that she was too ignorant such that she did not even know which company managed such a famous actor like Rong Ping. How did she survive in the entertainnt industry?
His entourage felt as if they were of the sa status as the actor they were following.
Rong Ping warmly replied, “Four years ago, I changed my managent company to Dongyue. My manager is Jimmy. Who is your manager?”
He was really curious. It was not easy to get to this floor of Dongyue Culture and Entertainnt. Everyone on this floor was famous, and as the managers on this floor were also extrely arrogant and resplendent, many artistes dread of working with them.
Before Xia Ling could respond, a door nearby was suddenly pushed open.
“Ye Xingling.” An impatient’s man voice said. “You’re late.”
“3... 3408!” A mber of Rong Ping’s entourage suddenly exclaid with a frightened expression.
Even king Rong Ping could not conceal his astonishnt and shock.
Since when was room number 3408 in use again?! Wasn’t that room reserved for a legendary manager? Many years ago, that manager was responsible for countless movie stars, famous singers, and celebrities until the last Diva he managed, Li Er, was t with an accident during the Entertainnt World N Summit Grand Slam.
From then onwards, he left Dongyue Culture and Entertainnt and was never seen again.
However, the company always kept the office vacant for him.
All the managers in Dongyue Culture and Entertainnt, including Rong Ping’s Jimmy, could not match up to his achievents.
Enshrined as the best manager in Dongyue Culture and Entertainnt, Lin Yunan.
“Are you Lin Yunan?” Rong Ping could not believe it and kept shifting glances between him and Xia Ling. “You’re back?! Because of... Ye Xingling?!”
Lin Yunan coldly glanced at Rong Ping and impatiently rushed Xia Ling. “Co in.” In front of outsiders, he resisted the urge to tell him to get lost.
Xia Ling smiled apologetically at Rong Ping. “He has a rather bad temper. Brother Rong, please don’t take it to heart.” After that, she rushed into Lin Yunan’s office.
After Xia Ling rushed inside, Lin Yunan then slamd the door shut.
