Such a composed newcomer, Feng Qi hadn’t encountered in many years.
Back in the day, Liang Jincheng was not this poised.
If initially it was President Yhan who asked him to sign this newcomer, then now having met her in person and after this conversation, he couldn’t help but reassess this 19-year-old girl.
Upon hearing Tang Li’s analysis, Feng Qi didn’t say he was acting upon someone else’s request.
After all, President Yhan had instructed not to mention him.
Feng Qi had originally thought Tang Li was a relative of the Yhan Family; in his nine years at IMG, this was the first time President Yhan had "requested" him to take on a complete newcomer.
Not to mention acting skills, personal conduct was also a crucial consideration.
Therefore, he did not outright agree but said he wanted to visit the set first to see her in person.
Having personally observed Tang Li’s acting and confirming that her nature was acceptable, Feng Qi decided to do Yhan Liqing the favor and sign this newcomer. Tang Li’s reaction made him think even more highly of her.
In response to Tang Li’s confusion, Feng Qi explained, "Some things Director Fan told you weren’t accurate. Director Fan and IMG have collaborated on two plays, and I have quite a good relationship with him. Today, I came to visit his set and incidentally see if there were any suitable artists.
Two years ago, when Liang Jincheng chose to withdraw from acting, I’ve been in a lull. It’s not that Liang Jincheng was so outstanding that I couldn’t find anyone to replace him, but to bring up a film emperor isn’t hard - what’s rare in recent years is a newcomer with great potential."
Feng Qi took another look at Tang Li: "With your appearance, breaking into the A-list isn’t difficult, and if your acting is exquisite enough, you might even try to go international in the future."
Seeing that Tang Li was a careful and attentive person, he added, "Not getting carried away at the peak, nor giving up in the lows, as an artist, your psychological quality is undoubtedly exceptional. I trust my own judgment of people and believe in your potential."
After a moment, Tang Li spoke: "I need some time to consider."
Feng Qi didn’t rush her but gave her his business card: "Call me when you’ve made a decision, though I hope it won’t take too long."
"Okay." Tang Li gave a cordial smile.
After leaving the meeting room, Tang Li ran into Sister Wen, Lai Yuaner’s agent, at the stairway entrance.
Sister Wen was dressed like a capable and strong career woman.
Black capris, a white shirt with a blazer, paired with delicate high heels, a low ponytail, and arms crossed—it seemed she was deliberately waiting for her.
Sister Wen approached her upon sight, smiling, "I asked Director Fan, he said you were downstairs discussing matters, I thought it wouldn’t be good to disturb, so I waited here for you."
Tang Li also smiled and took the initiative to ask, "Are you here to see me for something?"
"Earlier Yuanyuan’s sister spoke to me, you’re now shooting for a drama, becoming an artist, especially with online matters, it’s inevitable to encounter some headaches. She has always hoped that your management contract would be signed with Tianhua."
Sister Wen said, softly sighing, "The current entertainment industry has many companies that deceive artists with management contracts; a little carelessness can ruin an acting career. Although you and Yuanyuan bicker from time to time, I still hope you’ll be cautious, surely a contract with your own company is more reliable."
As soon as she finished speaking, her cellphone vibrated in her pocket.
"It’s Miss Lai calling."
Sister Wen picked up the phone but after a few words, handed the cellphone over.
Tang Li put the cellphone to her ear, and Lai Shengxia’s concerned voice came through, "Ah Li, how are you thinking about the contract signing?"
