Xie Manyu was a movie queen, but she had never acted in a TV series. Naturally, she was not as popular as her peers.
Even though her acting skills were better.
After all, TV series had a wider audience than movies.
However, during the summer vacation last year, she participated in a talent show with Shang Yaozhi, which further increased her popularity.
It had been more than half a year since the show, but netizens were still discussing who the mysterious fashion designer "Charm" was.
Unfortunately, no one had been able to find her, including the employees of First Light Media.
Many artists in the industry took this opportunity to ask Xie Manyu, but they did not get any useful answers.
Most importantly, in October 2020, Xie Manyu won a role in Universal Studios.
Universal Studios was the world's number one film company.
In the early years, they were an animation company. Many of their comic characters were very influential all over the world, and they were popular in the last century.
At the beginning of the 21st century, Universal Studios turned these animations into live-action versions.
Their casting had always been strict. Even if they were not suitable for the role, it would be useless even if they were an international movie queen.
Xie Manyu was the only Hua person to have won the role of the female lead in the movie.
As for the character that she was playing, she already had a lot of fans. Naturally, her popularity had skyrocketed.
When Universal Studios released the casting call, there were already many netizens on Weibo discussing who would be able to catch the eye of Universal Studios.
Some people even started a poll, and Ye Xi was one of them.
Because Ye Xi was a top celebrity, she had a lot of fans and her votes far exceeded the others.
Therefore, when Universal Studios announced the casting results to the world, Ye Xi was inevitably ridiculed.
However, she was quickly blocked by her fans. She even perfectly defeated a wave of fans.
At present, six of the top ten movies in the world's box office rankings were produced by Universal Studios. This showed how terrifying their strength was.
As for Qin Lingyu, she also came from a talent show, but it was a foreign talent show.
She returned to Hua in 2019, and after she came back, she was crowned as a top celebrity.
Among the female stars, no one could surpass her status.
Even if Ye Xi had a lot of momentum during this period, she did not have the strength to go head-to-head with Qin Lingyu.
"Xixi, don't worry." Chen Li was calmly analyzing the situation. She smiled and said, "Xie Manyu's status is there for all to see. Qin Lingyu is arrogant and doesn't like her. The production team couldn't even invite these two people."
"The remaining veteran artists are even less likely to come. As long as the production team doesn't invite the two of them, whoever they invite will be scolded by your fans."
Ye Xi frowned. "But didn't Producer Li say that? This time, First Light Media is the biggest investor. Xie Manyu is from First Light Media. "
"She's from First Light Media, but she's already established her own studio." Chen Li was confident of her victory. "First Light Media won't be able to change her mind, and it's even more impossible for them to let Xie Manyu personally participate in a talent show."
"Plus, Xie Manyu is going overseas to shoot a movie at the end of February. Does she have time to participate in 'Youth 202'?"
"Youth 202" had to be filmed until April, so there wasn't enough time.
When Ye Xi heard this, he was relieved. "Sister Li, I'm going to take a break. If the production team calls, call me."
Chen Li waved her hand and gestured for Ye Xi to do as he pleased.
She sat in front of the computer and asked the public relations department to send out a draft.

On the east side of the Imperial Capital, there was a huge antique street.
When Ying Zijin talked about making money, she was going to buy antiques.
Her fortune-telling ability wasn't there, so she couldn't tell the exact age of the antiques. However, she could still tell if they were real or fake.
Mu Heqing often came to this street, so he basically bought all the real antiques and donated them to the Imperial Capital Museum.
Ying Zijin squatted down in front of a stall and pointed at a gold bottle. "Boss, how much is this?"
The boss saw that the girl wasn't wearing branded clothes, but she had an extraordinary aura. He immediately knew that he must have met a big customer.
His eyes lit up. "Fixed price, two hundred thousand."
Hearing this price, Ying Zijin raised her head and squinted her eyes.
The boss knew that he was embarrassed. "Then, then I'll give you a 20% discount. How about one hundred and sixty thousand?"
A slender and fair hand reached over and took the gold bottle.
Fu Yunshen played with the gold bottle and said with a smile, "You're selling an imitation of a wine cup from the Tang Dynasty for one hundred and sixty thousand?"
The boss didn't expect his little trick to be seen through. He was even more embarrassed. "Ten thousand should be enough, right?"
He spent five thousand to buy this gold bottle and thought that he could sell it at a high price.
Fu Yunshen raised his eyebrows and paid the money unhurriedly. He put the gold bottle in Ying Zijin's hand.
He seemed to have discovered something.
His little kid seemed to be very interested in gold.
Ying Zijin put the gold bottle in her pocket and said slowly, "Brother, you're lying again."
"Huh?" Fu Yunshen looked up and chuckled. "How am I lying? He thought that this golden bottle was a fake. He saw that you were a piece of fat meat and wanted to rip you off."
This gold bottle was indeed not an imitation. It was the real deal.
If it was put in an auction, it would be worth more than a million.
"Also, what do you mean by 'again'?" Fu Yunshen raised his hand and pinched her face. "Little kid, you have to explain.
Ying Zijin raised her eyebrows. "You see, I don't have any power or influence …"
She didn't finish her sentence.
Ying Zijin lowered her eyes slightly.
His finger pressed against her lips, stopping her from saying the rest of her words.
It was cold, but it brought a series of electric currents.
The temperature was gradually rising.
Fu Yunshen looked helpless and had to start coaxing her. "Yaoyao, that's enough. I admit defeat."
Who would have thought that this casual sentence he said would be used against him?
At this moment, the phone rang.
Ying Zijin slapped his hand away and went to answer the phone.
The call was from the female secretary. She was talking about the matter on Weibo.
The female secretary called because she felt sorry for her boss's money.
The company would have professionals to deal with such a small matter. Naturally, she wouldn't trouble her boss.
"Okay." Ying Zijin wasn't surprised. She pondered for a moment. "How much does it cost to buy Tianxing Entertainment?"
The female secretary was shocked. "Boss, are you serious?"
Tianxing Entertainment was gaining momentum. They even had the support of Times Media, an international entertainment company. Compared to Xing Chen Entertainment in the past, it was many levels higher.
Ying Zijin yawned. "I'm serious."
"Then it'll probably take some time." The female secretary was very serious. "Boss, don't worry. You'll be in charge of being beautiful. We'll make money for you."
Ying Zijin: "…"
She hung up the phone.
"I think she's right." Fu Yunshen leaned on the side with his long legs bent. He raised his peach blossom eyes. "Kid, you'll be in charge of being beautiful. Brother will make money for you. How about that?"
Ying Zijin glanced at him. "I might not be able to afford to hire you."
He wasn't the president of the Asia Pacific region of Venus Group. He was the CEO.
"Others want money." Fu Yunshen lazily said. "Yaoyao, what about you? I'll work for free."
Ying Zijin didn't respond. She took two steps and turned around. "Don't pinch my face in the future."
Fu Yunshen paused and raised his eyebrows. "How could I do that before?"
"Oh, I've changed my mind."
"…"
Fu Yunshen thought about it and realized that he didn't have any experience in this area. He decided to ask Nie Yi.
[Does your family's lady have a bad temper? The kind that can't be understood?]
A minute later, Nie Yi replied.
[You have to ask when her temper doesn't fluctuate.]
"…"

On the other side.
Xie Manyu had just finished a job and returned to her studio. She was casually browsing Weibo when she saw the trending topic.
She clicked on it and asked. "Is this' Youth 202 'a project of our company?"
Her manager replied. "It's not a project, but it's a big investment."
"Sister Xie?" Her manager was surprised and didn't agree. "Are you really going?"
With Xie Manyu's status, it would be degrading her status if she participated in this kind of variety show. Her fans might be unhappy.
There had been such cases before.
Two years ago, a veteran international best actress participated in a variety show and caused a lot of fans to leave her.
"Are you stupid?" Xie Manyu knew what her manager was worried about. "Don't my fans know what kind of person I am?"
Her manager was stunned. "Sister Xie, you have a profile?"
"Of course." Xie Manyu said slowly. "I like good-looking young men."
Her manager: "…"
She was right.
"Although the company didn't look for me, I have nothing to do." Xie Manyu continued. "Contact the crew of 'Youth 202' and see if they want me."
