What a close call.

Although Zeng Li didn't know much about Tiny Fish Entertainment, she did know about Su Yehao, and those two idol groups that had recently become popular in the mainland.

Nangong Tian's face was finally saved.

While feeling relieved, she sighed silently, thinking that Tiny Fish Entertainment really lacked a presence.

Fortunately, *Meteor Garden* was about to be released, and the *Wind and Cloud* TV series was quickly wrapping up and entering post-production editing.

Coupled with the *Myth* movie scheduled for release on October 1st, and some good scripts already in reserve, ready for successive investment and filming, a series of big moves should help it accumulate some fame.

Zeng Li carefully sized up the little girl at that moment.

She discovered that Nangong Tian had both looks and figure, her clothing highlighted her temperament, and her complexion was so good that even in the dim evening light, she appeared exceptionally fair-skinned. Even within the Central Academy of Drama, it would be hard to find such a beautiful girl.

At least Zeng Li, who was known by others as "the leader of the Eight Golden Hairpins of the Central Academy of Drama," didn't need to dwell on it, and determined that she had been outshone, and by more than just a little bit.

Nangong Tian, with her aura in full force, certainly had the assets.

Her mother, Mrs. Nangong, was a well-known beauty on that island in the Southeast when she was young.

After going to Casino to make her way early on, she could still put a lot of pressure on countless tai-tais, even as a single mother.

Because of excellent genes, the little girl had every natural advantage. The reason she easily made enemies while studying was mostly because her beauty aroused jealousy.

After all, compared to her.

Jiang Yu's pure and kind nature made it easy for people to like her, Zhao Yimeng's family fortune was too great, and she was so assertive that people avoided her edge. As for another rising star, Vera Andrade, she was so low-key that she was almost non-existent, as if she lived only in her own little world.

So the little girl became an easy target, maliciously slandered due to the Liren Royal Court Club, accused of her family being involved in the flesh trade and such.

As for now, no one mentioned those things anymore.

Because Su Yehao was helping to support her, and their relationship was already public, the young ladies of Hong Kong liked to gather around her, seemingly becoming a "big sister" among the younger generation.

Comparing Nangong Tian with a group of students still in school was indeed a bit like bullying...

Zeng Li suddenly believed that she was "Su Yehao's girlfriend."

Such a beautiful girl being with such a rich young man seemed perfectly normal.

At this moment.

With a bit of curiosity, Zeng Li asked, "Why did you come to find me? What do you mean by being a trainee?"

Due to her family environment, although Nangong Tian's Mandarin had an accent, it was much better than other Hong Kong people. Hearing this, she calmly replied:

"I heard people mention that there's a pretty girl here, so I came to see you. Our company is preparing to film a TV series, but we haven't found a suitable actress yet. Your appearance is somewhat different from the female lead I imagined, but your figure and face are enough for a girl group. With some serious dressing up, you should be quite sexy."

"...The girl group you're talking about, wouldn't it be the Female Emperor group? It's been especially popular lately, and the boys in my class mention it often."

"No, the Female Emperor group is already full. Adding someone rashly would offend the fans."

The little girl shook her finger and continued to explain:

"We're preparing to form another new group, mainly responsible for activities in the mainland. There's no doubt about our company's strength. Whether it's selling records or acting, or shooting commercials, we can provide all the resources. We recently reached a partnership with Columbia Pictures in Hollywood, and getting one or two supporting roles shouldn't be a problem. And the income is higher than mainland companies. The Female Emperor group each received more than two million Hong Kong dollars in semi-annual bonuses. You're about to graduate, right? Would you like to consider it?"

"..."

"..."

The people eavesdropping nearby all fell silent.

Not many people had heard of Tiny Fish Entertainment, but in their opinion, since this company was backed by the rising star Su Yehao, it was enough to explain many things.

Compared to getting a small role in a film or TV series, the opportunity to join an idol group was undoubtedly more attractive in this era. Not only was it more lucrative, but it could also quickly accumulate fame.

Almost everyone in this generation grew up with the Little Tigers. Facing that dazzling halo, it was even more glamorous than being a movie star.

Since the beginning of the year.

As the Heavenly Kings and Female Emperor groups gained fame, many students at the Central Academy of Drama posted their posters in their dormitories. When they unexpectedly learned that the Female Emperor members earned more than two million in just half a year, everyone felt a twinge of envy.

Usually, when there was an acting opportunity at school, the competition was too fierce. Even if they weren't paid, they would fight to work for free, and in the end, they would still be grateful. Even Miss Zhang, who was about to graduate and was on the international stage, was said to have not earned much money.

Seeing Zeng Li being hit by such a huge windfall, everyone was extremely envious.

Talking about the bonus amount in public, Nangong Tian was clearly doing it on purpose.

She hoped that this matter would spread, using it as bait to attract more talent to join Tiny Fish Entertainment in the future, treating this place as a talent reserve base.

ATV's film and television production department had been fully taken over by Tiny Fish Entertainment. There were not many famous actors left. The only advantage was probably that it was cheap.

Thinking that she would need to develop in the mainland frequently in the future, Nangong Tian planned to use ATV's foundation to cultivate a new batch of actors, thereby saving on filming costs.

With the situation in the mainland, there were many people and few opportunities, making it very suitable to play the TVB and previous ATV game.

You should know that in the film and television industry, very few people can shine.

If Tiny Fish Entertainment provided a guaranteed job with a monthly salary of four to five thousand yuan, she believed that even at the Central Academy of Drama and the Beijing Film Academy, more than 90% of the students would be tempted.

As the company boss, how could Nangong Tian not be calculating? She had already discussed with Su Yehao about continuing to adopt the "base salary + filming commission" model before taking over the film and television production department from ATV, rewarding hard work.

If someone became famous, the base salary and commission would also increase significantly.

Compared to the sky-high salaries of later generations, this model was undoubtedly more reasonable, making it easier for a company to quickly grow in scale, avoiding the cake being taken by a small number of people while effectively saving expenses.

...

Zeng Li didn't agree on the spot.

She only took the little girl's assistant's business card, saying that she would go back and consider it.

Before entering university, this girl had studied and worked in an opera troupe for many years. Later, she discovered that there were fewer and fewer opportunities to perform opera, and people were losing interest in opera. Then, she was admitted to the Central Academy of Drama to continue her studies.

Miss Zhang from the same class had already become famous, receiving guidance from directors and shining brightly.

Zeng Li, on the other hand, was only a bit famous at school. She didn't compete or snatch, burying herself in her studies until now, being exceptionally Buddhist.

Nangong Tian didn't force it either.

She continued to stroll around the school, acting as a scout and handing out several business cards, as if she had come to a field of leeks, seeing many good seedlings.

Just as she needed to keep an eye on the TV series' censorship, Nangong Tian temporarily planned to hold a recruitment fair. As for the female lead of *Chinese Paladin*, she could slowly find a suitable candidate...
