Chapter 265 Left and Right Wind Entertainment Selects Male Lead
Hearing Yu Linglong's words, Jiang Zhao felt a lump in his throat.
To be honest, Chairman Yu was also reluctant to spend ten million yuan unnecessarily.
However, the young man contradicted Yu Linglong, saying, "Dad, I think we can give it a try. Like Manager Zheng, I also believe that Jiang Zhao has great potential. Jiang Youli, that woman, has claimed that she is going to release a song. If we really let her song become the hit song of the year, wouldn't that just let Starlight Entertainment stand out from our Dafeng Entertainment again?"
Yu Linglong looked at the young man who had spoken.
The young man gave her a smug smirk.
Seeing this, Zheng Zegang also said, "Chairman Yu, I've been with Starlight Entertainment for a few years, and I know Jiang Zhao quite well. He is indeed very talented. Nowadays, the music scene is dwindling in talent, and it's not easy to promote a singer who can create original songs. I dare say that as long as we put some effort into promoting Jiang Zhao, the economic benefits he will bring to the company will far exceed ten million."
After saying that, he turned his head and gave Jiang Zhao a meaningful look.
Remembering Zheng Zegang's instructions, Jiang Zhao put aside his pride and pleaded, "Chairman Yu, I hope you can give me a chance. I will definitely not let your company down."
Zheng Zegang then added, "If you really have concerns, Ms. Yu, then make it clear in the contract that all of Jiang Zhao's initial earnings will be used to repay the breach of contract penalties that the company previously paid for him. After that, every penny he earns will be split 2:8, with the company taking 8 and him personally taking 2. This split is a sure-fire way for Dafeng Entertainment to make money."
The young man continued, "Dad, the singers under our company are either washed up or just internet celebrities who only know how to create catchy pop songs. In terms of talent, none of them can compare to Jiang Zhao."
Chairman Yu was somewhat tempted by Zheng Ze's words. He looked at Zheng Ze thoughtfully and said, "Well, since my son has said so, and Manager Zheng is willing to vouch for Jiang Zhao, then I'll trust you one more time. However, I've already arranged for my son to join the company. From now on, you can contact him directly for all arrangements regarding Jiang Zhao. This way, he can also gain more experience in managing a company."
Zheng Ze nodded quickly and replied, "Okay, Director Yu, I understand."
Just then, Yu Linglong suddenly interjected and asked, "Dad, what about me?"
Upon hearing this, Chairman Yu looked at Yu Linglong with some confusion and asked, "What?"
Yu Linglong replied earnestly, "I want to join the company too."
Upon hearing this, Chairman Yu's expression instantly turned impatient. He waved his hand and said, "What company are you joining? You're an artist under the company now, and you're about to marry Young Master Long. Just be a good Mrs. Long in the Long family and enjoy your retirement. Leave the management of the company to your younger brother."
Yu Hongtu couldn't hide the smugness in his eyes. "Sister, marrying Young Master Long is something many women dream of. From now on, you can be a top-tier wealthy wife. You won't need to show your face in public anymore. Leave the company's affairs to me."
Yu Linglong's eyes were filled with resentment, but she didn't say anything more. Instead, she changed the subject, "I came here today to know if the male lead has been chosen yet?"
Chairman Yu said, "Director Zhang has not been confirmed yet."
Yu Linglong then asked, "I heard that Director Zhang is currently torn between Zhou Zerui and Yang Yufan."
Jiang Zhao was familiar with both names.
Zhou Zerui is a rising star, but in just two years since his debut, he has been frequently exposed for having a bad temper.
Yang Yufan, a film emperor, has a very good reputation and has never had any scandals or controversies since his debut.
Chairman Yu asked in confusion, "What are your thoughts?"
Yu Linglong said directly, "I want to choose Zhou Zerui."
Jiang Zhao frowned. In terms of reputation, Yang Yufan was still better.
Why would Yu Linglong specifically recommend Zhou Zerui?
Chairman Yu was also puzzled: "The reason?"
Yu Linglong said, "It's purely because I think his acting is better."
Jiang Zhao agreed with Yu Linglong on this point; Zhou Zerui had a bad temper, but he was a very good actor.
Chairman Yu waved his hand and said, "Alright, I'll tell Director Zhang what you said so he can take it as a reference. Go back and wait for news, and just wait for filming to start."
Yu Linglong said nothing more, got up and left the chairman's office.
"Ms. Yu, we'll head out now."
Zheng Zegang also reminded Jiang Zhao again: "Chairman Yu has agreed to pay the breach of contract fee for you. I will contact you again after we have dealt with the situation at Xingguang Entertainment."
Jiang Zhao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay, thank you, Manager Zheng."
Manager Zheng patted Jiang Zhao on the shoulder earnestly and said, "No need to thank me. I just want you to achieve results so that we can both achieve a win-win situation. After all, we both came from Starlight Entertainment, so we should naturally help each other."
"I know." Jiang Zhao felt very uncomfortable.
Previously, Manager Zheng was just a manager at Starlight Entertainment, while he was the second young master of the Jiang family. Now, however, he was being told to help each other.
It's truly a case of a tiger fallen into the plains...
……
After leaving Dafeng Entertainment, Yu Linglong immediately dialed Jiang Youli's number as soon as she got into her car.
“Miss Jiang, you’re right. My dad has already put his illegitimate son in the company’s management and plans to hand the company over to him! I can’t stand that! So I just told my dad, as you said, that I want Zhou Zerui to be the male lead. Will my dad really choose Zhou Zerui?”
On the other end of the phone, Jiang Youli laughed and said, "Of course not."
Yu Linglong asked, puzzled, "Then why did you ask me to recommend him?"
"Because what I really want your dad to choose is someone else."
"Yang Yufan?!" Yu Linglong was somewhat surprised.
“That’s right. You said it yourself, your dad’s illegitimate son likes to go against you. You said you want to choose Zhou Zerui, so he will definitely suggest that your dad choose Yang Yufan.”
Yu Linglong reminded him, "But Yang Yufan is a movie star with a great reputation and many fans. If we choose him as the male lead, my dad's new drama will at least be a minor hit."
