Chapter 171: Chapter 171: Greed Overreaches Itself

"""

Everyone who steps into the entertainment circle wants to become famous.

The precondition for fame, of course, is good resources.

Especially for female artists, resources are particularly important. Female artists, unlike their male counterparts, can’t withstand the ravages of time, so many of them are unwilling to give up any shortcuts that come their way.

Lai Shengxia said, "Yuanyuan was too young when she started acting, and our parents didn’t feel comfortable letting her sign with external talent agencies. It just so happened that Tianyi was also interested in venturing into the film and TV industry, so they established Tianhua Entertainment Media, and Yuanyuan is currently the only artist signed with them."

In other words, Tianhua is a company created solely for Lai Yuaner.

"Sister Wen is a top agent in the entertainment industry, having managed Mo Hanqing, Liang Qi, and Luo Xuan before Yuanyuan. Now, they are all big names in the industry, especially Luo Xuan, who has won many international awards in the early years."

Whether it’s Mo Hanqing or the latter two, they all shot to fame overnight, and Le Wen earned the reputation of the ’Star-making Saint Hand’ as a result.

Tang Li naturally understood the underlying meaning in Lai Shengxia’s words.

Lai Shengxia continued, gently squeezing her hand, "Even though I’m not in the entertainment industry, I’ve heard of many unpleasant things. You’ve been targeted just for starting to act, and there’s no guarantee that you won’t encounter worse situations in the future. As your sister, I support you but also hope that you’ll face fewer setbacks on this path."

Tang Li’s lips curled up slightly: "I’ll remember what my elder sister said, after all, in this circle, there are plenty of people who say one thing to your face and another behind your back."

...

This response was different from what Lai Shengxia had expected.

Even so, she smiled thinly, bringing the topic back around: "You should start by finding an agent. Like Yuanyuan, having someone to plan for you means I worry less."

"I will consider it," Tang Li nodded.

Lai Shengxia felt it was time and said, "Actually, I think Sister Wen is very good. Before coming to you, I specifically asked her; she only manages Yuanyuan right now, so she’s relatively free. If you’re willing, you can sign with Tianhua, and let Sister Wen manage you."

Before Tang Li could reply, Lai Shengxia added, "Sister Wen happens to have some TV drama resources at hand, all with big investments. You can take your pick, and if you like any, let Sister Wen help you negotiate. With her involved, the chances of success are certainly higher."

"If Yuanyuan and I share the same agent, will she agree to it?"

Tang Li asked suddenly.

Discerning the hesitation in her voice, Lai Shengxia chided, "Why are you afraid of her? Tianhua is not her company. The fact that you were chosen for the drama ’Original Sin’ shows your natural talent in acting. Sister Wen’s best at bringing out the full potential of newcomers."

Tang Li hesitantly said, "I’ll think about it."

"Good," Lai Shengxia smiled brightly: "Think it over yourself and call me when ready."

As her words fell, someone in the villa called out "Tang Li."

Tang Li looked towards Lai Shengxia: "I have a scene tonight, it might be time to get ready for the shoot."

Lai Shengxia understood: "Hurry back inside."

Watching Tang Li enter the villa, Lai Shengxia then pushed open the garden gate to leave.

In the nanny car parked by the road, Lai Yuanyuan had been watching all along. Seeing Lai Shengxia, she quickly pushed the car door open and got out: "Sister, did she agree?"

Seeing her restlessness, Lai Shengxia frowned, "After so many years in the circle, how can you still be so impatient?"

"..." Lai Yuanyuan pursed her lips tightly.

She was eager to know the result regarding Tang Li.

As long as Tang Li becomes an artist under Sister Wen, she’ll have Sister Wen freeze out this shameless illegitimate daughter. Female artists can’t stand being hidden away; she wanted to see what the end would be for someone bitten by more than they can chew!
