Run, Best Actor!

"grass!"

Returning to her office from outside, Zeng Jia angrily threw her bag onto the table.

"What's wrong? What's wrong with you?"

Zhao Ruoyao was startled.

"That Liu Taile guy was definitely up to no good!"

Zeng Jia's face turned ashen as she said, "I just found out that Jiale Media has stolen away a girl I had my eye on!"

"ah?!"

Zhao Ruoyao exclaimed in surprise, "Where are you from?"

"I'm a junior at the Shanghai Theatre Academy."

Zeng Jia closed her eyes in pain. "Her name is Dilireba. She previously starred in a CCTV revolutionary drama, which is expected to air next year. Moreover, that girl is very talented. Although she can't compare to Yang Mi back then, she is considered outstanding among this generation."

Especially since she's from Xinjiang province, her appearance is comparable to Tang Ren's Gulnazar.

"Wow, that's amazing!"

Zhao Ruoyao clicked her tongue and said, "No, then how did you end up signing with Jiale Media?"

They're just a small company, barely any people! What kind of development can they expect? What's that girl after?

"It is said that Jiale Media has now partnered with Enlight Media and launched a film project."

Zeng Jia said in a deep voice, "Then they used the offer of a movie lead role to lure Dilraba into signing a contract."

"Go straight to film projects?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ruoyao laughed, "You've completely gotten carried away. You think you can do well in the sports world, and you'll do the same in the film industry? Making movies isn't that easy."

"Enlight Media is a rising star in the industry, usually following in the footsteps of China Film Group and Huayi Brothers, picking up scraps. To treat a company like that as a big shot, I don't think Liu Taile is anything special."

Well, being in the Hong Kong entertainment circle has really made him stupid; he actually dares to criticize industry giants...

"We can't underestimate Guanglu, after all, it's a listed company."

Zeng Jia, however, was more clear-headed, noting that "in the past two years, the box office of the films she produced has indeed been getting higher and higher."

Last year's "Painted Skin," a blatant rip-off of "Painted Skin," still managed to rake in over 1 million yuan at the box office, proving that this company is not to be underestimated.

"So what do we do now?"

Zhao Ruoyao asked, "Has the person already signed a contract?"

"It's signed. According to my acquaintance at the Shanghai Theatre Academy, Jiale Media paid a signing bonus of 300,000 yuan!"

Zeng Jia said wearily, "Top athletes really do make money fast; they really treat money like it's nothing!"

"Just burning money!"

Zhao Ruoyao cursed under her breath, "I guess after losing money a few times, the market will teach me a lesson."

"The key issue is that guy's influence; Yang Mi has clearly changed her mind now!"

Speaking of this, Zeng Jia was even more upset. "I told her to interact with Liu Kaiwei on Weibo from time to time, to give their CP fans some treats and increase their loyalty. But now she's completely going against my wishes and is ignoring Liu Kaiwei at all."

Where did the obedient and well-behaved Yang Mi go?

"I've said it before, Yang Mi is obviously love-struck and prefers young, handsome men. That conman's words from Siam might not be able to fool her."

Zhao Ruoyao said helplessly, "See, just as I said, her relationship with Liu Kaiwei is almost dead in name only."

"It's too late to say anything now."

Zeng Jia sighed, "Anyway, as long as Yang Mi doesn't unilaterally announce the breakup of the couple, let her be."

The main problem is that if Yang Mi is really angered and the sisters turn against each other, she and Zhao Ruoyao will be the ones who suffer.

It's easy to deceive others, but hard to deceive yourself.

Even if the two of them conned Yang Mi, saying that the core of the future company would be Zeng Jia's network of connections.

But none of them can overshadow Yang Mi, who is still the mainstay of their small team!

Without Yang Mi as a "money-making machine," do they still want to upgrade from an artist studio to a company?

Stop dreaming!

The two of them originally planned to kick Yang Mi out of the company's management once the company successfully upgraded and got on track, so that they could enjoy all the power in the company and achieve their own upward mobility.

But the essence of their strategy lies in their ability to cultivate another star who can rival Yang Mi and take her place.

In the original timeline, they chose Dilraba and placed a heavy bet on her.

First, through her supporting role as Bai Fengjiu in "Eternal Love" and then by taking over Yang Ying's position as a regular guest on "Running Man," Reba's popularity and status soared.

Then the following year, he helped Dilraba win the Golden Eagle Award for Best Actress, and later cast her in "The Pillow Book," the sequel to "Eternal Love," as well as leading roles in dramas such as "The Flame's Daughter" and "The Long Ballad."

As a result, the drama for which Dilraba won the award was not convincing, leading to her being ridiculed as a "water queen" (a derogatory term implying she received no real recognition).

The popularity of "The Pillow Book" is worlds apart from that of "Eternal Love". Even though Yang Mi made a cameo appearance as Bai Qian in "The Pillow Book", many fans did not buy it at all.

Of all the dramas featuring female leads, only "The Long Ballad" has achieved significant popularity, and Wu Lei, Zhao Lusi, and Liu Yuning also share in the benefits of this hit drama.

This means that while Dilraba has the popularity of a top-tier celebrity, she lacks substantial achievements.

Compared to Yang Mi's popularity, it's far inferior.

Moreover, Dilraba isn't stupid; she knows perfectly well who is truly good to her.

Therefore, later on, especially after Yang Mi left Jiaxing, her relationship with Zeng Jia and Zhao Ruoyao became strained.

Once the contract expires, I'll pack my bags and leave immediately.

Therefore, it is true that Zeng and Zhao were capable, but their abilities were completely incompatible with their ambitions, and their eventual fate was foreshadowed.

Now, Liu Taile has simply cut off all supply and demand, taking Reba under his wing first.

Let those two be clueless!

However, Zeng Jia is currently quite angry, while Zhao Ruoyao seems indifferent.

"Jiajia, stop being so stubborn! You can't find three-legged toads in this world, but two-legged people are everywhere!"

Zhao Ruoyao comforted Zeng Jia, saying, "She's just a beauty from the Western Regions. I think Daisy from the Central Academy of Drama is also quite good. Let's sign this girl and train her well in the future. She might not be any worse than Nazha."

As for that Dilraba Dilmurat, she's just blind and greedy, and I don't think she'll amount to much in the future.

"That's all we can do now."

Zeng Jia said slowly.

After all, what's done is done, and no matter how angry she is, it won't change anything. She still has to find a way to build up her team.

"Although Yang Mi is distracted from us now, we really can't do without her if we want to start a company."

Zeng Jia then said, "Yao Yao, why don't you go and spend a few days with her, have a good talk with Mimi, find out what she's thinking now, so we can formulate a future development strategy."

"Okay, I'll go."

Knowing that this was a matter of great importance, Zhao Ruoyao quickly nodded.

Suddenly, she thought of something and said, "Actually, this is also a good opportunity. Liu Taile signed a young girl, so it's hard to guarantee that he won't have other ideas."

I talked to Yang Mi about this before, to tell her to be more vigilant, because there's no such thing as a cat that doesn't steal fish!

Well, so he's trying to slander Yang Mi.

That's right, this plan is a bit slow.

Because someone had already reported their work to their girlfriend immediately.

"What?! Your company signed a young girl?!"

Yang Mi was indeed concerned about this, "He's six years younger than me!!"
