Han Leng had braced himself for a rejection. He had even prepared to comfort Lady Zhao with a line like, “How could a Lady stoop so low as to go sell her face and body?”

Of course, Han Leng would never doubt Lady Zhao’s capabilities. His gut-feeling may doubt her acting capabilities, but his heart refused to believe it. She may be a terrific musician, but nobody could have so many talents in so many fields. Even so, he did not express these thoughts, as it would be akin to directly slapping Lady Zhao in the face.

Slapping Lady Zhao in the face was slapping your life away…

However, Han Leng did not expect Lady Zhao to agree. She even had that pumped up, animalistic look on her face. Where exactly did her courage and self-confidence come from?

Something told Han Leng that he was going to regret this. Entrusting his beloved daughter to Zhao Youyue was going to bring him a lot of trouble. What was he thinking? He was crazy to believe that Lady Zhao would be able to act as Chu Luoxun. He should have listened to the internet – the extent of their trust in Lady Zhao’s abilities had ended at the musical aspect.

Han Leng hesitated. ” My Lady, are you sure about this? You have to know that being the heroine of a film would not be easy. This isn’t just a cameo; you’ll need to consider other things… ”

Zhao Youyue smiled at Han Leng’s frantic gibberish. With her ridiculously confident smile, she said, “Of course I know what I should do as the heroine of a film. Don’t you worry. More than anything, you should be worried about getting me that spot…”

Indeed, that was the only thing that did not have her confidence. Although In any case, Han Leng was already a legendary, best-selling author. Even so, he did not have complete control over the matter. At most, he could drop a few recommendations and nominations. After all, no matter the film, investors had full control.

When Han Leng learned that their positions had been reversed and the Lady was doubting his ability to keep her in place, he intrinsically agreed. The truth was cruel. No matter how talented a writer was, he still had to bow before the source of capital. Some writers did fund the movies themselves, but that was a different story.

Such situations were so sporadic that they were not even worth mentioning. Adaptations were risky. You could never tell if they would succeed. If he did not participate in the project, he would still earn some profit due to copyrights. The investor would be the one bearing the full risk.

Zhao Youyue narrowed her eyes, almost staring into Han Leng’s soul. She had some fresh ideas. It was time to seek for Ding Yuncong and Zhao Hao’s help. They could easily pull the strings and put her in the Chu Luoxun role.

“Beautiful April” was not going to be a major project. It did not have a particularly high budget either. It did not even seek to win any awards. A decent reception would already be good enough. One could easily intervene in such small projects. On the other hand, billion-dollar projects would be almost incorruptible. They could not risk having one weak link ruin the entire show.

Anyway, Zhao Youyue was not here to answer Han Leng. She was here to reassure him. Her reputation meant nothing to her. She was here to defend Chu Luoxun’s image.
