Chapter 3968: A Perfect Match (164)
“Yesterday, Meng Hao arranged an audition with Liang Yin. Director Gu was quite satisfied with it.”
“Meng Hao?” Qin Zhou recognized the name. “Meng Hao is notorious for his ugly behavior in the industry. Why did Liang Yin audition? Is she interested in acting?”
“She seems rather interested in acting.”
Qin Zhou thought for a moment. “Since she had passed the audition and Director Gu was very satisfied, what happened after that?”
The actor replied, “Meng Hao invited her to his hotel room that night to discuss the script.”
The script…
The manager knitted his brow upon hearing this. This phrase held a deeper meaning in the circle. There were often directors and producers who used the excuse of “discussing the script”, as a lure for those new actors or celebrities who wanted a particular role, to their hotel room to perform indecent deeds.
Of course, this practice was not only limited to male directors. Some of the veteran artistes who were well-resourced were also open to men and women. In particular, many male directors had different tastes. The orientation of many of these directors is a mystery.
Qin Zhou knew that Meng Hao liked to play with women. Sometimes, he would also play with tender young male actors. He was pretty disgusting.
It wasn’t as if Qin Zhou had never been tempted by all the willing parties that presented themselves to him over the years of his career, but from his perspective, it was dirty. It was not that he found those actors who fought to become famous to be dirty. Rather, he found such transactions too dirty and didn’t want to touch them.
Although, there is a saying that, if one walks by the river often, how can he not wet his shoes?
But who knew what Qin Zhou was made of? It was as if the man was made of steel. His willpower was terrifying.
One thing, though, was tacitly acknowledged by the community. Qin Zhou’s people were the untouchables. No matter how insignificant their status, as long as they were under Qin Zhou, no matter how frantic one was, one would not dare trifle with them.
......
Therefore, many newcomers who signed up with Huanyu dreamed of being managed by Qin Zhou. This was because becoming Qin Zhou’s artiste not only gave them access to fantastic resources, they also did not have to be subject to those ugly unspoken deals.
Those in this circle, even if they didn’t take the initiative to offer themselves, sometimes they would be tapped on the shoulder by one of these vile bosses. They could do nothing about it, and had no choice but to oblige. If they did not offer themselves up, the boss would not give them face. At best, the actor may be axed from the partnership, at worst, his online presence might be wiped out.
However, Qin Zhou had the confidence and ability. No one dared to mess with his artistes. Even if there were some who were insensible enough to trifle with him, they would be beaten back in a few moves.
“Meng Hao is too bold. Doesn’t he know who Liang Yin works for?”
Although Liang Yin appeared to be only an assistant, she was Hua Jin’s assistant. Hua Jin’s people were also his people. Meng Hao actually dared to have such designs on her. It was no wonder he saw Meng Hao walking towards Hua Jin when he arrived.
“I had an argument with Meng Hao yesterday.”
“Why?”
“He called me undiscerning.”
Like a schoolboy complaining to his teacher, the actor recounted his argument with Meng Hao the night before.
Qin Zhou’s expression remained impassive, but his anger was evident.
“I understand.” He said, “I’ll take care of it. Just focus on filming.”
The actor nodded silently.
In the afternoon, Qin Zhou arranged to meet Meng Hao. When Meng Hao learned that he had been summoned by Qin Zhou, he felt a little guilty.
After his phone call with the actor yesterday, he felt rather remorseful. After all, the man worked for Qin Zhou. It was a little offensive to argue with him like this.
