"This is Top star entertainment PR Team."
The female employee received the call with a face, which still contained traces of the tiredness.
-I wanted to ask if Mr. Xin Ren schedule is free for the weekend. I wanted to invite him on our show.
"Yes, please wait."
-It's a program about upcoming celebrities and it would be great if he can play the guitar on the set.
"We will call you again after seeing his schedule. You have to wait till then."
After some more talk, the female employee hung up and said.
"There really are a lot of people wanting to invite Ren to their reality shows."
"He's a new face in the industry for a change. The reactions of the public are good too. He had been in the limelight for quite a time now."
A male employee shrugged as he replied. The female employee then said.
"Either way, the drama in which he is playing the lead is a big hit. They got the highest ratings for a opening episode on a cable drama."
"It looks like that he is not only invited to the reality shows. There is also a talk going around his next project. Now, that he has gotten famous, Director Zhao wanted to quickly escalate his position."
The female employee, who had been tapping her chin with her pen, turned her head. Beyond the partition, Director Kang was looking at her monitor while drinking hot coffee. She asked Director Kang.
"Director Kang, does Xin Ren have any thoughts on going on any entertainment or reality shows?"
"I don't know. It doesn't seem like it? He is busy with the shooting probably. It still hadn't ended yet and the director was planning for his next project, so I don't know if he will go to a reality show or not."
"That's a bit of a shame."
The female employee said as she made a downcast face. At that moment, another male employee said.
"But still, he's really amazing. He had become a big star in just months."
"Well, he can be said to be lucky. He managed to get many opportunities and he used to them well."
When she heard that, Director Kang looked at the two employees as she said.
"I don't think only luck played a role in it. Think about it for a second, he is the one who wanted to audition for the male lead role."
"Yeah, I thought it was weird at that time but it was really a great decision."
"I was thinking that he was impulsive at that time but his drama, «The stars above» has even managed to get more ratings than public network dramas."
The male employee said as he made a astonished face.
"Yeah, it will be interesting to see his next project. Who knows, he can again choose a different type of project."
"Yeah, «The stars above» look childish on paper but the people are really liking it. The critics are also praising it for its acting and good narrative."
"Well, Xin Ren can be an unconventional actor."
When Director Kang heard that, she smiled and said while leaning against her chair.
"I think the industry had too many simple actors. People nowadays need something unconventional."

{«The stars above» emerged as the king in the battle of dramas. It was after a very long that a cable drama managed to defeat two public network dramas in the battle of ratings.}
{Xin Ren impresses everyone with his breathtaking performance in the first episode. Critics commented that his performance as a tired middle aged man was commendable at the least.}
{People loved «The stars above», with the highest rating of 1.8% and an average rating of 1.6%, it emerged as the best opening drama of the year.}
{«The stars above» second episode to be unveiled today. People can expect to see new characters and the female lead today.}
"He's amazing, right!"
The CEO stooped reading the articles on the monitor when she heard that. She lifted her head up and saw Director Zhao sitting in front of her drinking coffee.
"Well, he is. It is hard to get this much famous in this short amount of time. Moreover, he's drama is a big hit now."
"Yeah, I had heard that there are people online who are guessing that it will break 2% soon."
"Is that so?"
CEO Xu gaze became interested when she heard that as she tilted her head and asked.
"What do you think about his future?"
"Do you mean his future plans?"
When Director Zhao asked that, the CEO nodded her head and he continued.
"Well, there were some advertisement orders we were going through and we were thinking about featuring him on Tristine's new album."
"That's good but what about his new projects? I mean, do you plan to audition for a drama or a movie?"
"We are still thinking about it. Although we have received some offers from some production houses, we were still waiting till the drama finishes."
"That's good but what do you think will be the final rating for the drama?"
CEO Xu said as she leaned against her chair and cupped her hands.
"It's hard to say as the momentum is too high for it. I have not seen any other cable drama have this type of momentum before but I think it can surpass 2%."
"That's good but what about an international release?"
"Do you mean releasing it in Korea and Japan?"
Director Zhao said as he tilted his head and CEO Xu nodded as she said.
"Yes, I think it can do well in there. We both have similar systems and it isn't weird for a Chinese drama to release in Japan and Korea."
"It's certainly true but I don't think Arc production has the means to do it. They have not released a drama overseas and they had only worked in China till now."
"Then, help me contact CEO Wang and some Korean and Japanese video sites. I think we can earn a fortune there."
"CEO, are you thinking of increasing Ren's popularity in Korea and Japan?"
Director Zhao said as he made a confused expression.
From what he knew of the CEO, he knew that she was not a impulsive or a good woman. She only do things that benefit her.
The reason behind her pushing Arc production to release the drama online was undoubtedly because of the benefits she will receive because of it.
"Well, who knows but I think it will be good opportunity for him."
The CEO said as she made a foxy smile on her face. A plan was gradually forming in her head.
Something that will take Ren and Top star entertainment to new heights.
