At Dazzling Media:
The news about an externally hired manager spread throughout the entire company.
As expected, the senior managers were obviously unhappy; never mind that he didn't climb his way up, but he was so young to boot.
Why doesn't he choose to be a celebrity instead since he's so young and good-looking? Why must he be a manager?
After all, being a manager and an artiste wasn't the samethe earlier one debuted as an artiste the better, but a manager required lots of experience and extensive networks. Most of the managers started out as assistants or were in charge of marketing; they normally didn't have an artiste under them without working at least three to five years, so there were only a few managers in the industry who were under 30 years old.
But the older employees knew in their hearts that chairman Chu was already wary of this dictator, Zhou Wen Bin, who held power over all the artistes. Thus, chairman Chu gave Ye Bai extensive powers and made sure everyone agreed to cooperate with him.
At the moment, everybody was just waiting to see what would happen. Nobody dared to choose a team, but it was obvious that not many people had a good feeling about Ye Bai.
Zhou Wen Bin had been rebuked by Ye Bai in front of chairman Chu, and Ye Bai seemed capable on the surface, but chairman Chu couldn't control what happened in private. This young guy didn't have any background, no backers, no experience, and the artiste he chose was way past his prime. How could he fight against Zhou Wen Bin?
There was chaos in the film studio.
A group of newcomers was having their photos taken for publicity purposes.
Many of them weren't even in their 20s yetthe youngest was only 16. All of them were at the age when they were freshest.
Luo Chen arrived very early that morning. He still wore a plain t-shirt and jeans with a pair of old and washed-out sneakers as he waited silently in a corner.
