If Yi Tian’s acting skills were perfect and suited to the lead female role, then Guan Meiyi was just like the female lead herself. When the two actresses were compared side by side like this, it wasn’t clear who the victor was.
“Director Kong, the person I recommended isn’t bad, is she?” Ling Tianya asked quietly. “Is this kind of performance good enough?”
Director Kong’s expression became sluggish, but he couldn’t help but admit that Guan Meiyi had definitely improved.
Seeing that Director Kong had yet to speak, Ling Tianya also looked toward the director and the movie maker. “What do you two think?”
Neither of them replied. What could they say? Although Guan Meiyi was definitely good at acting, her popularity was very low. Who would watch a film with her as the lead? This was also something that Director Kong was worrying about. The reason they were making a film was to make money. If they used an actress people didn’t want to watch, then wouldn’t it be a waste of time?
“Screenwriter Ling, can we discuss this a little more?” Director Kong urged, “Although Guan Meiyi is an excellent actor, her popularity is way too low. How about we just use Yi Tian? She is the most suitable, whether it is a matter of acting skills or of popularity.”
“An artist’s popularity isn’t something I worry about. That is the job of Zhi Ya Entertainment. I only recommend the artists that I believe are suitable and right now, I believe that Guan Meiyi is the perfect candidate. Therefore, can we now execute my right of priority pick?” Ling Tianya was done speaking useless words and jumped straight to the point. “Director Kong, you were the one who said it. As long as Guan Meiyi’s performance was good enough, then she would be the female lead. Are you going back on your words?”
When Ling Tianya said this, Ruan Zeyan, who was behind her, languidly lifted his head and wrapped one arm around her. “It would seem that Zhi Ya Entertainment is used to going back on their words.”
Ruan Zeyan’s words scared Director Kong. If Ruan Zeyan wanted to control them, then he would easily be able to. In the past couple of years, Ruan Zeyan has ama.s.sed a lot of money from investing in the movie and film industry, so Director Kong didn’t dare offend him. All of the investors were influential, and Ruan Zeyan was the most influential of the lot.
