Chapter 1312: Chapter 1313: Phony Girl with Malicious Intentions
Xi Fan Stars truly has substantial capabilities within the industry, at least ranked in the upper middle range.
However, Xia Xue was not so kind-hearted.
Upon hearing the name of this company, Rong Yan recalled the time she returned to China and asked Gu Linxi to investigate several domestic entertainment companies for her.
Xi Fan Stars is known for cultivating male artists. The company boasts a slew of highly attractive male idols, some of whom are grouped into bands, while others go solo, all having a large fanbase. They possess quite a few entertainment resources exchanged on the market. Most importantly, this entertainment company is the only one among several powerful companies in the industry that values music!
Their so-called value isn’t about the music itself, but rather they like to send their trainees to various popular talent shows for packaging, accumulating a huge popularity before making an official debut. Even if their intentions aren’t pure, in an industry skewed towards TV dramas, movies, web dramas, and variety shows, at least Xi Fan Stars could still be seen as pretending one thing while selling another.
For this reason, it was her first choice of target.
Little did she know, after Gu Linxi conducted the investigation, he sent her a report on how the executives at Xi Fan Stars exploit female artists.
She discovered that the company was rife with an underlying exploitative culture.
Newcomers to the company had to be pulled out to dine with tycoons in the name of “contributing to the company”. At these dinners, artists who could generate profits for the company through their outstanding performances would receive resources. Those who realized the company’s exploitative culture upon signing and fought against complying would be indefinitely suppressed and sidelined by the company. Even if they managed to see their contracts through, the company, like a vampire, would hold onto them and even intentionally purchase trolls to tarnish their reputations.
Such a disgraceful black company; Xia Xue really had the nerve to recommend it to her. It seemed she was indeed worried that Rong Yan hadn’t fallen into a pit and was eager to give her a push.
Rong Yan has never had a good impression of such phony girls, sweet-talking yet armed with hidden intentions. She did not give Xia Xue any face, and outright rejected, “Not interested!”
“Rong Yan, Xi Fan Stars is really strong in the industry. You’ve offended KT and are at odds with HuanYu, only Xi Fan is bold enough to take you in. Other small companies probably wouldn’t dare to sign you. You can’t keep delaying. The industry is particularly cruel to female artists; if you drag this out and stop working, both fans and the media will forget about you. By the time you want to come back, it will be difficult! I know the president of Xi Fan Stars, he is my sworn brother, a really good person, I can introduce you to Rong Yan. Their company lacks mature female artists, if you join their company, all their resources would definitely be focused on you…”
“Regardless of how enticing you make it sound, I’m not interested. If you’re interested, you can ask your very good sworn brother to help you. You’ve already said you were just a minor role at KT, I’m sure Levin wouldn’t hold you back if your sworn brother steps up.” Rong Yan said indifferently.
It was precisely her calm tone and expression that irritated Xia Xue’s sensitive nerves. She bit her lips so hard they almost bled, and her gaze shifted from its initial pretense to one of sarcasm, “Rong Yan, I know you’re proud. You wouldn’t have paid the breach of contract fee to terminate your contract if you weren’t proud, but no flower blooms for a hundred days, no matter how beautiful a bloom, it will eventually wilt! Things are also not going smoothly for Li Group recently, ‘when the mountain falls, the leaning falls; when the water dries, the stranded dries’. A wise person should always prepare a way back early to avoid being trampled on when the support is gone.”
