Entertainment: Since 1990

Chapter 240 Robbery
The campus beauty pageant concluded successfully after Lin Chih-ling won the crown.

Although she was pre-selected, she deserved the title.

After the competition ended, Cao Jian did not leave immediately. He found Lin Zhiling and said that he planned to sign her to his company and start her as a model.

This way, it won't affect Lin Chih-ling's schooling.

Lin Daiyu naturally had no objection to this arrangement.

"If you work hard in the future, I'll help you shoot some commercials and some photoshoots when you get into university, to warm up your future career in the entertainment industry."

After Cao Jian finished speaking, he hesitated for a moment, then continued, "To celebrate you getting first place, I'll treat you to dinner later, how about that?"

The first step in picking up girls is to take them out to dinner. Then, rich people go on shopping sprees, while ordinary people go to the movies.

Whether it's celebrities or others, the formula is pretty much the same.

"Okay."

Lin Chih-ling guessed that Tsao Chien was trying to seduce her, but she didn't mind at all.

But just as the two made their appointment, an unwanted third wheel showed up.

“I knew he was here.”

Seeing that there were only two people, a man and a woman, Lin Xinru felt even more certain that her plan was absolutely correct. She said, "Brother Cao Jian, are you still not done with your work? I need to talk to you about something."

After saying that, she secretly glared at Lin Zhiling, then pulled Cao Jian away.

"What's the matter?"

Cao Jian certainly didn't want to leave.

Compared to Lin Xinru, Lin Zhiling in front of me is much more appealing.

"It's very, very important. You need to come quickly, or it will be too late."

Lin Xinru realized that her boyfriend had designs on the winner of the school beauty pageant, so she made the matter sound very serious.

Lin Chih-ling was unaware of the relationship between the two and thought they were just good friends.

Although she also wanted to have dinner with Cao Jian, she said in a coquettish voice, "Mr. Cao, if you have something important to do, you can go ahead and take care of it. We can have dinner anytime."

"Okay, I'll ask you out next time."

Cao Jian had no choice but to follow Lin Xinru first.

Upon reaching the door, he asked, "What exactly happened?"

“I chatted with Jia Jingwen, who came in fourth place, today. She said she also wanted to join our company. I was just about to bring her to see you when TTV called her away.”

"is it?"

Actually, Cao Jian also thought highly of Jia Jingwen tonight and wanted to sign her.

Before I even went to negotiate, TTV had already poached me.

"Yes, go quickly and get them back."

Lin Xinru was very anxious. That was her other half's 75 points. If it was taken away, she would have no choice but to find someone else.

However, Chen Qiaoen is noticeably younger today, and there is still a difference in appearance compared to Jia Jingwen.

"Go and see."

Cao Jian planned to go and check it out; perhaps there was still a chance.

In Alyssa Chia's dressing room, Chang Chang-hung from TTV was discussing her contract signing.

"Ms. Jia, although you didn't get third place this time, given your qualifications, TTV still wants to sign you. We'll arrange a suitable drama for you."

"I"

If it were before, Alyssa Chia would have agreed immediately without hesitation upon hearing this.

But now that it's possible to sign with Cao Jian's company, TTV has no choice but to give up.

Lin Xinru once said that by signing with Cao Jian's entertainment company, she might be able to go to mainland China, the United States, or Japan in the future.

More importantly, you'll have more freedom and almost no chance of having to drink with clients or doing anything messy.

These points are very appealing to Alyssa Chia.

But how can I politely decline TTV's offer?
Just then, there was a knock at the door, and then Cao Jian and Lin Xinru pushed the door open and came in.

"Manager Zhang, so you're here too?"

Cao Jian saw the TTV manager, pretended not to know him, and then asked Jia Jingwen, "Jingwen, what does Manager Zhang want with you?"

"???"

Jia Jingwen and Zhang Changhong were both taken aback.

One person didn't know why Boss Cao called him that, while the other thought that Cao Jian and Jia Jingwen had a relationship and might have already signed a contract.

However, Zhang Changhong still tentatively said, "I'm actually here to talk to Miss Jia about signing a contract."

"Hehe, Manager Zhang may not know this yet, but Jingwen is already an artist under our company. Are you trying to poach her?"

Although Cao Jian was joking, the other person was still taken aback.

This guy is really quick. He's the one who got first and third place in this competition, and now he's signed fourth place too.

Although the competition brought in a lot of advertising sponsorships for TTV, Cao Jian also made a fortune and even snatched away three popular girls. He was the biggest winner.

"Hey"

Zhang Changhong sighed silently and said with a smile, "That's really a case of the flood washing away the Dragon King's temple. I'm really sorry, then I won't bother you any longer."

After saying that, he stood up and left.

Jia Jingwen felt a surge of gratitude.

Just now, I didn't know how to find an excuse to refuse, but Cao Jian solved my problem with just one sentence.

At the same time, she also realized that this Boss Cao was really capable.

They snatched the talent directly from TTV, and the TTV manager, who held a very high position, didn't utter a single word of objection.

This only proves that this young and handsome man is really amazing.

Signing up with their company seems like the right choice.

Seeing Zhang Changhong about to leave, Cao Jian smiled and said, "I'll see you off."

As he left the lounge with Manager Zhang, he added, "I'm sorry, the three best girls in this competition have all been snatched up. I apologize."

"It's alright, it's alright, we're all on the same side. Just help us make some good films in the future."

Since the person had already been taken away, Zhang Changhong could only pretend to be polite.

Cao Jian laughed and said, "Actually, I have a variety show idea recently and I want to find a TV station to cooperate with. Our company is the first one that comes to mind."

"What's the idea?"

"It's a really fun name, but I haven't thought of one yet."

The variety show Cao Jian mentioned was none other than "Kangxi Lai Le," which became very popular a few years later and was imitated by many television stations in mainland China.

It's not because I stole someone that I came up with this idea; rather, the reason I came here is to present this variety show in collaboration with TTV.

However, the name of this variety show comes from the names of the two hosts. Now that "Kang" is available, "Xi" is just starting out, so this name cannot be used.

No matter what name TTV chooses in the end, the variety show content is very interesting and will definitely make money.

This will also let mainland TV stations that want to produce variety shows know how powerful we are.

Just in time for this talent poaching incident, using the creative ideas from "Kangxi" can further strengthen the relationship between oneself and TTV.

Zhang Changhong was surprised that Cao Jian had ideas for variety shows, and laughed, "The name doesn't matter, as long as the content is good."

"Don't worry about the content. I'll bring you the concept book tomorrow. But the program concept must be credited to me."

"Of course."

"Then I won't see you off. See you tomorrow."

Cao Jian shook hands with the other party and walked towards Jia Jingwen's dressing room.

As soon as I entered, I saw two girls who were about the same age chatting happily.

“Jingwen, I heard from Xinru that you wanted to sign with our company, that’s why I said that. Don’t mind it.”

"Mr. Cao, no, I'm more than grateful."

Although Jia Jingwen had heard Lin Xinru say that the boss was a very nice person, Cao Jian's apology still made her feel a little flattered.

"Since you want to join our company, we'll sign the contract tomorrow."

As Cao Jian spoke, he carefully examined Jia Jingwen.

In terms of appearance, Alyssa Chia is actually prettier than Lin Xinru.

Their acting skills are about the same.

In terms of physique, you could see something special about him when he played Wu Zetian.

However, Lin Xinru is better at creating hype, while Jia Jingwen married a scumbag at the peak of her career and spent a lot of energy on the divorce proceedings.

This caused the once-popular Zhao Min to almost disappear from the entertainment industry.

Jia Jingwen felt a little embarrassed by Cao Jian's gaze, but she couldn't stop him from looking.

Fortunately, before she could start overthinking, Cao Jian said, "I'm planning to film 'Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils' next year. How about you play A'Zi?"

In the next TV series, "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", Yu Feihong may play the role of A'Zhu.

Cao Jian felt that casting the original actress as A Zi would be a mistake.

The character A Zi is actually very beautiful, otherwise she could drive Zhuang Juxian, the number one simp, crazy.
Besides, Alyssa Chia has beautiful feet, as can be seen in the 03 TV series "Heavenly Sword and Dragon Sabre".

In the original novel, there's a scene where Zhuang Juxian hugs A Zi's feet and licks them intensely, truly embodying the essence of a simp.

Therefore, she is very suitable to play Azi; at least in terms of appearance, she cannot be too much inferior to Azhu.

"Azi?"

Alyssa Chia has certainly read the original novel of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils". Azi's role is no less than that of the female lead, Wang Yuyan.

How can I get such resources right after signing a contract?
It seems this choice was the right one.

But is his motive for praising me so much pure?
