Huiyao Entertainment was one of them.
It was precisely thanks to the Jian family's immense wealth and extensive business network that Huiyao Entertainment became the foremost of the five giants, the undisputed king of the entertainment industry.
The Jian family parents divided their family fortune based on the different interests and hobbies of their two sons.
The elder son was interested in finance, so they sent him to a university with a finance major. After graduation, he took charge of investment-related industries.
The younger son loved photography and art, and they didn't restrict him in choosing his major or what he wanted to learn.
Thus, the youngest son of the richest family enrolled in a film academy, a place considered low-tier by many prestigious families for cultivating actors.
Not only did the Jian family parents grant Jian Zhou complete freedom in his career choice, but upon his coming of age, they also transferred all their shares in Huiyao Entertainment to him, allowing him to manage it himself.
Except for An Qiuyan, who had been reborn, no one would have ever guessed that the mysterious big boss of Huiyao was a young man in his early twenties.
After graduation, Jian Zhou was busy trying to avert the tragedies of his family's past life and had no time for anything else. He handed over the company management to Liu Cheng, instructing him not to disturb him unless it was of utmost importance.
Liu Cheng bowed respectfully and said, "Recently, 'Chun Yuan She Xiang Zhuan' has become a massive hit. All the major companies have recognized Jiang Ling's potential and commercial value. I am also very optimistic about her talent and want to sign her, but..."
Hearing this, Jian Zhou understood and said in a deep voice, "You can't make the decision yourself, can you?"
"Yes, not only our company but others have also recognized Jiang Ling's value. To get ahead of the competition, we must offer her an irresistible deal. Therefore, I wanted to ask Mr. Jian, what is the ceiling?"
"There is no ceiling. As long as she is willing to sign, we will give her whatever she wants."
"Whatever she wants?"
Liu Cheng was astonished, scarcely believing his ears.
"Yes, whatever she wants!"
Through their close proximity during this period, Jian Zhou, more than anyone except Sister Sa, was acutely aware of the terrifying depth of Jiang Ling's acting prowess.
It was unlikely to find another young top-tier actor with such exceptional acting skills in the industry.
With acting skills worthy of deification and popularity rivaling top-tier celebrities, any offer would be deserved.
"What if she asks for a platinum contract?"
A platinum contract was a super contract that surpassed even top-tier celebrity agreements.
It offered priority in selecting resources, freedom in marriage and relationships, no restrictions, minimal work, and maximum pay, making it a dream deal for countless artists.
To date, only the five major entertainment giants had offered platinum contracts in the industry, but very few artists had managed to secure them.
Last year, when Jiang Ling regained her top-tier status and popularity through her role as Li Sheng Nan, Ge Ying, the vice president of Liuyun Media, recognizing her potential, desperately wanted to sign her.
However, due to their inability to offer the platinum contract Jiang Ling desired, they had to abandon the attempt.
Similarly, for a platinum contract, the stronger the management company, the better the development opportunities, and the higher its intrinsic value.
As the foremost of the five giants, Huiyao Entertainment's platinum contract was undoubtedly the best and most sought-after among top-tier artists.
In its decades of existence, Huiyao Entertainment had only issued three platinum contracts.
These three platinum artists were all legendary figures in the industry, whose status and influence were no less than those of the Four Heavenly Kings of Hong Kong in their prime.
Alas, time had taken its toll, and these three artists had all retired years ago, now quietly enjoying their twilight years.
