Chapter 440: The Exploding Screen
The girl named Qin Ruoxue before him possessed a beauty score exceeding ninety-five percent. As the strongest trainee from the second batch of Shi Yuan Entertainment, she had also been provided with the best training resources and the company's full attention.
Undoubtedly, with the momentum of Shi Yuan Entertainment's development, coupled with Qin Ruoxue's own efforts and attributes, it was highly probable that she would become a top-tier superstar in the future, and becoming an ultra-top-tier superstar was not beyond the realms of possibility.
Even though Shi Yuan Entertainment already boasted over a dozen ultra-top-tier superstars, each one was still an extremely precious asset. They were the company's cash cows and also, the face of Shi Yuan Entertainment.
Chu Mo, holding a tray in his hand, gazed at the girl in front of him with limitless development potential and pondered for a moment. Just as he was about to speak, Qin Zixuan at his side said indifferently,
"Mr. Chu still has very important matters to deal with, there will be other opportunities in the future."
Qin Zixuan's words had evidently shattered the girl's last hope. However, the tall girl opposite did not persist; she bowed deeply, all the while expressing with the utmost sincerity,
"I'm sorry, it was my wilfulness that delayed Mr. Chu and President Qin's time, I apologize sincerely."
At this moment, the entire dining hall, with all the hundred or so trainees and staff members having their meals, had their eyes fixated here. Chu Mo knew it was not appropriate to stay any longer, so he nodded slightly to the strongest trainee across from him, and then left the dining hall accompanied by Qin Zixuan.
As they reached the corridor, Chu Mo heard the murmur of discussions coming faintly from the dining hall behind him and said softly,
"This girl probably doesn't have any ill intentions. She just wanted to showcase herself. Maybe we could be a bit more patient."
Qin Zixuan at his side remained expressionless. She quietly followed Chu Mo, consciously staying half a step behind him. After a moment, it was only after taking a gentle breath that Qin Zixuan finally spoke,
"Mr. Chu, you might not be aware, but recently, due to Ding Qian's issue, some unpleasant rumors have been circulating within the company. Many believe that Ding Qian's rapid ascent is solely because she's under your protection and that with just a word from you, anyone can skyrocket to success and reach the heavens in one step.
Qin Ruoxue probably has the same idea, thinking that if she pleases you and gains your recognition, the company will go all out in her cultivation. This kind of atmosphere cannot be allowed to persist. If today Qin Ruoxue were to perform for you, and you happen to see her talent, the company would inevitably provide special care for her, making the earlier remarks become reality.
If that were to happen, not only would the various rules and regulations established within the company be questioned, but all the trainees, as well as the signed artists, would vie for your attention. If such an atmosphere were to form, it would be extremely detrimental to both your image and the company's future development."
As the two reached the elevator, with Qin Zixuan pressing the button, Chu Mo, who had been listening quietly, nodded slightly. He hadn't thought that much about it initially and merely found the girl called Qin Ruoxue somewhat talented, thinking maybe he should give her a chance to perform.
Now, having heard Qin Zixuan's comments, he subtly understood that it was precisely due to the special attention given to the three trainees from the last batch—Ding Qian, Chu Wen, and Zhao Shuangshuang—and the best resources they received, that unfavorable rumors had already started circulating within the company.
If he kept insisting on his own views, it might truly be detrimental to the company's future development.
Chu Mo knew he was naturally unconcerned with the company's development. Now that Qin Zixuan had finally made some headway, he would not only provide no help but becoming an obstacle to the company's development would be highly inappropriate.
He nodded gently and no longer dwelled on the matter. As for the strongest trainee, Qin Ruoxue, if she truly had the ability, she would undoubtedly receive the best resources and achieve great fame and success in the future. If she was all talk and no substance, being eliminated early would be for her own good.
When Chu Mo returned to the filming hall in the elevator, he saw that the crowd was still bustling with activity. He watched for a while and noticed the only lead actress, Yu Junjun, was practicing singing.
Yu Junjun naturally possessed a very unique voice. Her voice was ethereal and pure, instilling a tranquilizing sensation in listeners. The last time Chu Mo heard her sing in the park, he was so astounded by her talent.
This time, with Hua Country's top composer creating music suited for her and the most professional music masters correcting her pronunciation, Yu Junjun's originally beautiful singing was even more captivating. If combined with post-production, her singing could very well rival that of top-tier singers, he figured.
Chu Mo sat quietly in the rest area, not leaving to either rest or wander about, but sitting in tranquility. Before him worked a group of top-notch professionals and for Chu Mo, an outsider to the industry, he couldn't understand their setups and clearly was not in a position to offer any advice.
Time was of the essence; all the staff only had a boxed meal before getting back to work. In order not to delay the work schedules of the big shots for the next day, the music video had to be completed within the day. Otherwise, if they had to coordinate everyone's schedules again tomorrow, it would be extremely difficult.
Chu Mo was aware that Qin Zixuan had many important matters to attend to, and by letting her accompany him on his aimless stroll for half a day, he had already wasted much of her time. Since his presence here was merely to sit idly, and her company would be a waste of time as well, he sternly ordered her to go back to her own tasks.
