Lu Chiyan arrived at the company early the next morning.
He was an artist under Yanli Film and Television. When he first signed with the company, it hadn't had a single artist. Now, two years later, it had only added three or four more.
If the owner of Yanli Film and Television hadn't been Nan Yi, a well-known, award-winning actor in the industry, Lu Chiyan would definitely have suspected it was a scam when the company approached him.
But now he knew that Nan Yi wasn't actually the owner of Yanli Film and Television at all. He had merely lent his name to it. The real owner was Qin Sili.
Qin Sili had established this film and television company specifically for him after learning that Lu Chiyan wanted to act.
It was just that Lu Chiyan had really hated Qin Sili back then. Qin Sili knew that if Lu Chiyan discovered he had founded Yanli Film and Television, he would never agree to sign with it. But the entertainment industry was complicated, and Qin Sili couldn't rest easy letting Lu Chiyan go to another company, so he had his good friend Nan Yi step forward as the owner in name. Only then had he managed to sign Lu Chiyan.
Yanli Film and Television, written with the character for "inside," was actually Yanli Film and Television, written with the character from Qin Sili's name.
Lu Chiyan had only just figured this out after arriving at the company and noticing how few people worked there, yet all its resources went to him. As a second-tier artist, he received the same treatment as the top stars at other companies. It was far too strange. Only then had he picked up on a clue from these oddities, and after checking with Qian Le, he had finally understood what lay behind it.
His manager and assistant, Qian Le, was also one of Qin Sili's people.
In the past, Lu Chiyan would definitely have flown into a rage on the spot, feeling that Qin Sili had interfered with his life, kept him under surveillance in a roundabout way, and deprived him of his freedom.
But he wasn't the stupid Lu Chiyan from the book. After learning the truth, he had only felt deeply moved and wanted to give his wonderful big brother another huge hug.
Setting up an entertainment company just for him to support his debut-what a profound brotherly bond!
"Three variety shows and two production teams have approached you," Qian Le told Lu Chiyan. "I don't think there's any need to take on more variety shows, but you can take a good look at these two scripts."
Qian Le said, "The director of We Live Together contacted me too. The show is about to resume, and you still need to finish filming it."
"They still dare to have me back?" Lu Chiyan was a little surprised. "What about Jiang Zhinian and Duan Linfeng?"
"Those two obviously can't participate anymore. Even if they did, their footage couldn't air," Qian Le said. "The production team has invited two new guests to replace them."
Lu Chiyan pursed his lips. "Fine..."
He briefly flipped through the two scripts. One offered the male lead in a costume drama, and the other the second male lead in a modern mystery crime drama.
"I went through the plots of both scripts yesterday," Qian Le told Lu Chiyan. "Both scripts are good, and so are the production teams. Ideally, taking both would be better, of course, but their schedules clash, so you can only choose one. I'm leaning toward the male lead in the costume drama. After all, a leading role would do more for you. But the modern mystery script really is good, and the characters are well-rounded too. It's up to you which one to choose."
As Qian Le spoke, he added, "You can take the scripts home and read them carefully first. There's no rush to decide right away."
"Okay." Lu Chiyan nodded. "I'll read the scripts first, then."
"Oh, right, there's a brand event you need to attend tonight. Come pick out an outfit with me in a bit," Qian Le said.
