Talent scouts

An online program sheds light on behind-the-scenes players in Chinese show business, Xing Wen reports.

Although talent agents play a crucial role in the employment of actors, singers and other kinds of entertainers, they usually prefer to keep a low profile, without touting their own achievements.

However, on a video platform of Tencent Holdings Ltd on Sunday, some of these behind-the-scenes players appeared for a reality show alongside their celebrity clients, such as actors Zhu Yawen and Bai Yu, actresses Zhang Yuqi, Qiao Xin and Chun Xia and musician Ouyang Nana.
