Background / History
He Meng entered the entertainment industry full of enthusiasm, only to be assigned Li Wenchuan as her first artist while he had an empty schedule, a damaged reputation, and little backing from their company. Initially overwhelmed by the task, she nevertheless chose to seek resources and learn how to become an effective agent rather than abandon him. 2 7
Her early management career was defined by Li Wenchuan's unpredictable behavior and the industry's unequal treatment of him. She attempted to secure his audition for For the Phoenix, confronted Wang Yiwen and Sister Zhang after the role was reassigned, and objected to accepting a low-budget web drama before Li Wenchuan persuaded her to take the opportunity. 8 9
As Li Wenchuan's popularity rose, He Meng learned to manage schedules, public relations, endorsements, and contract negotiations. She developed from an inexperienced newcomer into a professional agent able to discuss production details, assess scripts, turn down questionable advertisers, and plan long-term career moves for her artist. 54 61 94
By the later stages of Li Wenchuan's career, He Meng had her own office and was addressed respectfully as “Sister He” on set. Yang Xuan's personal guidance further strengthened her management skills. 251

Personality
