"What kind of newcomers?" Long Jie asked. "You should know that I have very high standards."
"You'll know when you meet them," Han Xiuche deliberately kept Long Jie in suspense, but he still gave Long Jie a glimmer of hope.
Long Jie knew that Lin Qian had warned her, but she had no other choice. As long as it could help Superstar Media live a little better, she would do her best.
"In that case, let's meet them."
"OK."
Han Xiuche was overly enthusiastic about this matter, so Long Jie was wary of him. But, she couldn't resist his temptation.
So, Long Jie did not discuss this matter with Lin Qian because Lin Qian's pregnancy was starting to show, so she didn't need to worry too much.
…
A few days later, Han Xiuche arrived at Superstar Media with a few newcomers. When Long Jie saw them and noticed that they were a group, she was a little tempted.
Plus, their appearance, aura and background were all good. So, Long Jie predicted that as long as they were packaged properly, they would definitely be a hit.
"What do you think? Are you satisfied? " Han Xiuche smiled. "My juniors from the art school are all good, so I introduced them to Superstar Media."
"That's true …" Long Jie nodded. "I'm counting on them to make me proud."
"Don't worry, they're really outstanding."
After all, Han Xiuche wasn't the only one who could decide whether they were outstanding or not.
Long Jie had her own methods and her own channels, so it wasn't hard for her to understand certain things. Luckily, the newcomers all had clean backgrounds.
"Thank you for helping me out this time," Long Jie thanked Han Xiuche.
"We're all from Superstar Media, there's no need to be so polite." Han Xiuche was extremely generous, but the smile on his face after he turned around had a deeper meaning.
"I'll personally take care of these people …"
"I believe in your abilities."
The reason why Long Jie wanted to guide them personally was because she had her doubts. Plus, it would be difficult to supervise them.
Therefore, after signing these people, she needed to train them.
However, she never expected that this would be the beginning of her misfortune.
…
During her time on the set of 'The Specimen', Tangning learned a lot. Meanwhile, Jones was extremely meticulous. He knew that Tangning was talented in this area, so he couldn't wait to pass on everything he knew to her so she could be successful in sci-fi.
So, gradually, the crew began to realize that Tangning wasn't just an errand boy, she was actually Jones' disciple!
And most of them had criticized this person who did odd jobs all day long. Now that he thought about it, he felt a chill run down his spine.
Most importantly, Tangning witnessed the professionalism of Western actors. Indeed, for the sake of their roles, they were willing to put on weight, lose weight, be sloppy and struggle at will. This was something that the Eastern entertainment industry lacked.
"Tangning, I've interacted with plenty of Asians in the past. Regardless of whether they're from this industry or not, it's rare to find someone as hardworking and humble as you. After all, Asians love to keep up appearances."
This was what the producer of 'The Specimen' said to Tangning during a visit on set. "So, after seeing how hard you work every day to learn how to film and how you even have to make a cameo appearance, I really want to ask you, do you want to come to Hollywood to develop your career?"
"I've heard about what happened to you in the East and I don't think you deserve the treatment you've received. I've also seen the films you've appeared in. To be honest, I think it's a shame that you chose to film instead of acting."
"So, even though I know you may not agree, I still want to ask you, do you want to come to Hollywood and act in one of our roles?"
"Originally, I was going to head to the East this weekend to recruit actors. If you're willing, I think I can skip this trip."
After hearing this, Tangning smiled and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I swear I won't act again. I will definitely keep my promise."
"Plus, the reason why I put so much effort into learning how to film a sci-fi film, was because I wanted to fulfill a deceased friend's wish."
"So, I'm sorry … I think I'll have to reject your invitation."
After hearing Tangning's answer, the man nodded his head in despair, "OK, it seems I'll have to make a trip to the East."
"I wish you all the best."
The man did not force Tangning. He felt that she had character and was persistent. So, he felt that Tangning deserved to be respected. But, he couldn't understand why a talent like Tangning would suffer so much in the East …
Soon, the producer arrived in Beijing. As he stepped out of the airport, he saw another advertisement about Ma Weiwei. He was in disbelief that this female artist looked so similar to Tangning.
As he had a good impression of Tangning, he asked his assistant to investigate Ma Weiwei's background.
But, after finding out, he was disappointed, "Sir, Ma Weiwei had plastic surgery based on Miss Tang's face and made a name for herself."
"In that case, she's simply a thief that stole the fruits of someone else's labor …"
"Since that's the case, why don't we hold an open audition? What do you think?"
"OK," the producer nodded his head.
"What if Madam Ma Weiwei is also here?"
"In that case, let's wait and see what the difference between her and Tangning is," the producer replied.
"By the way, don't let anyone know that Tangning is learning from Director Jones. I don't think anyone in Beijing knows about this. Don't be a gossipy woman. Let's keep this between ourselves."
"I was originally planning on contacting Tangning, so don't do anything annoying."
"I understand, sir."
Tangning didn't ask the producer to do this, but she received the respect that she deserved. To be exact, it was because she was Jones' student that she received this treatment.
Indeed, a top-notch foreign producer recruiting actors to develop in Hollywood was indeed attractive enough …
Ma Weiwei, as a rising star, naturally desired this opportunity as well.
So, she asked her agency to help her out. But, if she was to find out how much the producer admired Tangning, would she slap herself in the face?
Up until now, she had never acted in a leading role because she had no acting skills!
Even if she were to go back and redo herself 10 times, she would never be able to mimic Tangning!
