Chapter 20: Starbridge Entertainment
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Alright, thank you very much for choosing Starbridge Entertainment. Shall I introduce you to your manager?”
Yuna nodded. When she saw the person who came in, she was pleasantly surprised. “Brother Hu!”
The middle-aged man who came in was called Meng Hu. When Yuna started her career in Country X, he was the first manager assigned to her by the entertainment company. At that time, Yuna was just a new artiste who knew very little about acting. After working together for a year, Meng was re-assigned to other artists due to the company’s arrangement. After that, the two of them strike out their own and gradually lose contact with each other.
Some time ago, she heard that Meng had returned to Country Hua. She did not expect him to work in Starbridge Entertainment.
“Haha, Xiao Yu, long time no see.” Meng laughed heartily and took the initiative to give Yuna a gentle hug..
“Yes, I haven’t seen you for many years.” Meng still called Yuna by her Chinese nickname, just like he did a few years ago. When she thought of the days she and Meng had quietly worked their way up from being transparent in the entertainment industry many years ago, Yuna’s eyes turned red.
“If I had known that the experienced female artiste that Chairman Yang had mentioned was you, I would have rushed over to greet you first.”
“It’s alright, brother Hu. It’s fate that we met. I’m thrilled to be able to work with you again.” Yuna laughed when Meng Hu teased her. The two of them shook hands again as if they had returned to the old days.
When Howard saw that the two of them were old acquaintances, it saved a lot of trouble for them to get used to each other. He said cheerfully, “Then, Meng, you bring Yuna to familiarize herself with the company first. The personal plan for Yuna should be out in the afternoon. I’ll inform you when the time comes.”
When the two of them went out, Meng turned his head and asked, “Yuna, with your standard, why don’t you go to Linxia Entertainment or Cassin Entertainment?”
Linxia Entertainment and Cassin Entertainment were the two giants of the local entertainment company. The former was famous for its star-making ability, while the latter was famous for its popularity-boosting methods.
In recent years, only two artistes have become famous. Starbridge Entertainment, which Yuna came to, was one of the entertainment companies that struggled under the pressure of these two giants. In the entertainment company, they were at most second-tier.
“For Cassin Entertainment, I don’t like the way they raise their artists, all kinds of hypes, as for Linxia… the control is too strict. It doesn’t quite fit the direction of development that I want.”
There was one thing that Yuna did not mention about Linxia Entertainment, Linxia’s Chairman, Frank, was her legal husband. If she was to work under Frank, she did not want him to think that she coveted Frank’s resources.
Moreover, Starbridge Entertainment’s every aspect was more balanced, the management style was somewhat similar to the ‘Free-range.’ It was quite suitable for Yuna.
“Oh, is that so?”
Then, Yuna asked, “Why did brother Hu come to Starbridge? You are the manager who won the ‘Golden Wrist’ award.”
“I wanted to come here to retire, but I felt that I could still fight when I met you.” Meng blinked and asked, “How are things with your little boyfriend? Are you married?”
When Yuna was in Country X, it was a long-distance relationship with her boyfriend, Shaun. Although Yuna’s schedule was quite packed, she would still make overseas calls with Shaun after she finished filming in the wee hours of the morning. If she were in an area with poor reception, Yuna would squeeze in time to write letters to Shaun, far away in Country Hua.
Hearing this, Yuna stopped by the railing and calmly said, “He married my stepsister behind my back not long ago.”
Yuna then slowly recounted how she had discovered Shaun’s true colors during this period. However, her relationship with Frank was a little difficult to describe, so she omitted it.
“Ah… this bastard!” Meng knew how much Yuna had sacrificed for this boyfriend and how deep her feelings for him were. He felt very sorry for her.
Back then, Country X’s top movie and television diva, Violet, decided to retire and return to her Country for her boyfriend, the same year after she received the highest honor award. Many fans thought that Violet had “Met her true love” and sent Yuna back to her home country with tears. Who would have known, Yuna would be treated like this by a scumbag.
“It’s fine. He will suffer retribution,” Yuna said indifferently. The wind blew up her hair, and she had a more mature and reserved aura than a few years ago.
Yuna’s temperament had changed, but her unique, beautiful feature was still the same as she was back then.
“Er, then will you continue on your previous path of development in the future?” Meng leaned against the railing, blowing the wind as he turned his head to look at her.
