Tangning's appearance at the mall quickly spread throughout Beijing. In the eyes of the public, they may have thought that Tangning was sincerely trying to keep an actress. But, in the eyes of industry insiders, Tangning simply didn't know how to appreciate kindness.
Actually, the phrase 'fans are fickle' was a phrase that artists often said. So, in the eyes of the industry insiders, Tangning's actions seemed like she was acting too much.
But, after watching the film, Tangning did not appear in front of the public again. So, it wasn't because she was trying to gain attention like everyone thought.
"How did it feel to watch your own film?" Inside the studio, Qiao Sen asked Tangning. He wanted to know if Tangning felt that she was invincible like the other actors.
"If I had to act again, I could do even better," Tangning replied as she propped herself up on her arms.
After hearing this, Qiao Sen laughed, "You're indeed the same as me." They were both perfectionists.
"I've already decided on the actress. Since you're not destined to get the role, I chose an overseas actress," Qiao Sen said as he handed Tangning some information. "She's a French actress. She's pretty good in every aspect."
Tangning received the information, but she did not immediately respond, "I'll take this back for reference."
"No problem," Qiao Sen nodded.
"There's one more thing I'd like to ask your opinion on." Tangning paused for a few seconds as she looked at the model on the programmer's computer. She then suddenly said to Qiao Sen, "I want to change the name of the film. 'Purgatory' is too abstract and lacks appeal."
"OK, what do you want to change?" Qiao Sen asked.
"'The Ant Queen'."
After hearing this, Qiao Sen immediately imagined a scene of ants the size of a house flying over his head. It would be a very exciting scene, so he nodded his head, "OK, 'The Ant Queen' sounds more like a sci-fi film. Let's do it that way then."
"Not bad, things are finally on track. I hope this film will officially hit the screens in two years."
Two years …
…
Xia Hanmo was perhaps the most difficult of all of Tangning's artists to make a comeback. After all, she no longer worked in the mainstream industry.
After returning from overseas, Xia Hanmo appeared on a number of magazines and the public's evaluation of her continued to improve.
This gave Xia Hanmo a new hope in life. After all, she was responsible for her brother's high living expenses.
Lin Qian had already done her research on Zhou Qing and discovered that he was indeed the best host in the country. So, Xia Hanmo treasured this opportunity. Under Lin Qian's protection, she finally managed to meet Zhou Qing in person.
Zhou Qing was in his mid-thirties. He had an elegant appearance and a humorous personality. As a result, he was well received in the industry.
But this time, the news was shocking. He was going to partner with Xia Hanmo!
Wasn't he worried about Xia Hanmo's dark red physique?
But, because of Tangning, whenever people mentioned Xia Hanmo, they would feel extra pity for her.
"Hanmo, with me here, you don't need to worry about anything. The production team will definitely do their best to take care of you," Zhou Qing comforted Xia Hanmo during the meeting, gesturing that she didn't need to worry.
Xia Hanmo was comforted and nodded. "Don't worry, I will do my best."
"You have so many years of work experience. I believe you can do it. Besides, you are so good at traveling."
Xia Hanmo smiled shyly. The entire meeting was a little more relaxed because Zhou Qing was especially good at controlling the situation and creating an atmosphere.
Afterwards, Lin Qian left with Xia Hanmo. At this time, the director asked Zhou Qing to stay behind for a private chat.
"Zhou Qing, 'The Big Adventure' is about to change hosts and you are about to leave the television station. Why did you choose Xia Hanmo as your partner for the final season?"
Zhou Qing smiled as he tapped his fingers on the table, "You and I both know what my replacement is capable of. We are all mentally prepared for what 'The Big Adventure' will become. If the station wants to get rid of me after I've outlived my usefulness, I have no problem with that. But, I want to help Xia Hanmo as a form of respect for Tangning. "
"I'm surprised that an actor would rely on his own meager abilities to change the unfair situation in the industry."
"That's why I want to help Xia Hanmo before I leave."
"This child's literary talent and ability are outstanding. Unfortunately, she's been placed in the wrong place."
After hearing this, the director sighed, "The Station Head is too much. 'The Big Adventure' went from a small program to the king of the ratings because of you. Now that his brother is back, he doesn't even have to do anything for you. Instead, he's trying to steal all of your hard work. He's so shameless."
Zhou Qing continued to smile without saying a word.
"Of course, with your status, I'm not worried that you won't be able to find a good place to go. Since you've spoken, I will take good care of Xia Hanmo."
"Thank you, Director."
"There are still many good people in this world," the director patted Zhou Qing on the shoulder and sighed before he left the room.
Meanwhile, Zhou Qing looked at the spot where Xia Hanmo was sitting and did not say a word.
…
After hearing about Xia Hanmo's good news, Tangning was also happy for her. Of course, as Xia Hanmo's boss, apart from congratulating her, Tangning also gave her a lot of advice.
After all, the variety industry was a completely new field. To enter this industry, one needed a good host to lead them.
Xia Hanmo was very lucky.
"I'm lucky because I met you," Xia Hanmo sighed. "I'm lucky that I found Superstar Media. Thank you, Tangning."
"Don't be in a rush to thank me. Focus on learning from Zhou Qing. He has a good reputation in the industry and is a good person," Tangning reminded. "Hanmo, you need to remember that you are a part of Superstar Media. We are bound together for good and bad. I still have work to do, so I can help share some of your pressure. But, I may not appear in front of the public for the next two years. You need to take advantage of this opportunity. "
"Don't worry. If I can't live a good life after being reborn, then I would have wasted my life," Xia Hanmo replied.
As a result, Xia Hanmo's future was almost on par with Xing Lan and Luo Sheng's.
As soon as Mo Ting heard Tangning on the phone, he hugged her from behind and whispered in her ear, "Today, the higher-ups at Hai Rui were asking why Tangning only brought three artists with her."
"The fact that I've brought three artists to the top is enough to make those that rely on their background feel ashamed."
"Just like you guys said, the industry is big and my abilities are limited. But, I can give confidence to those that are currently being pressured. Luo Sheng and the others happen to be in variety shows, one is an actress and the last one is a singer … They have all kinds of talents."
"In the future, whether or not I sign another artist will depend on fate."
"By the way, your female lead has already been confirmed. She is a sexy goddess …" Tangning said with a hint of jealousy.
"Oh?" Mo Ting raised an eyebrow.
