Chapter 105 - Making a Big Show of Your Strength (2/2)
The role of the tacky village girl that Zhu Manqian had mentioned in a disdainful tone was the role that had propelled Jiang Sifei to fame. She had clinched the best supporting actress award at the Golden Crown Awards with this role.
If she continued to stay grounded and work hard, she was confident that Jiang Sifei would be able to clinch the best leading actress award one day.
Alas, Zhao Hongling had forgotten that temptation and thirst for fame were really enticing in the entertainment industry…
‘Meeting One’s Match’ was indeed a huge production with a good crew and director that would also be screened in theaters. However, it was a commercial film that revolved around the male lead.
She had read the script and the female lead was basically just a pretty face that would complement the male lead. The character had no distinct characteristics and was thus beneath Jiang Sifei’s level. In addition, she wouldn’t be able to pull off the character with her looks.
However, Zhao Hongling knew that it was useless, no matter what she said. Jiang Sifei wouldn’t hear any of it. Therefore, she decided to rest her case.
By now, all the reporters had arrived on the set and flocked towards Jiang Sifei.
This was one of Zhu Manqian’s commonly-used methods to hype up the artists she managed. She must have released the news and invited the reporters.
A reporter said, “Sifei, it’s rumored that you have joined a new company, House of Millions Media. The lead in ‘Meeting One’s Match’ is the first role that your new company clinched for you. It’s also the first time you will be working with famous award-winning actor Pei Nanxu. What are your thoughts on that?”
Jiang Sifei replied, “I’m really excited to be working with famous award-winning actor Pei Nanxu and very thankful for my company, House of Millions Media. I want to thank my manager, Miss Zhu Manqian, for getting me this role. Working with House of Millions Media is the best and wisest decision I’ve ever made!”
Another reporter asked, “Sifei, do you have anything to comment regarding your previous company? I heard that Star Entertainment’s Zhao Hongling had groomed you since your debut. Why would you choose to change company when your contract had not ended?”
