Yan Zhang wouldn’t miss the opportunity to teach Jiang Zhi a lesson.

Swallowtail Entertainment had been contacting the cast of “Beacon” because they had seen the potential of “Beacon” in the later stages and planned to take advantage of it to gain popularity.

However, they didn’t expect Jiang Zhi to steal the role that was originally set in stone.

Yan Zhang couldn’t take it lying down no matter what.

He contacted director Zheng and told him that Jiang Lu agreed to take the role of the second female lead.

Director Zheng was originally worried about the second female lead and was overjoyed. However, Yan Zhang had additional conditions.

“Based on Jiang Lu’s current position, the second female lead role is rarely taken. However, Jiang Lu especially likes the script of ‘Beacon’ and trusts director Zheng’s standard.”

Yan Zhang said slowly, “Therefore, we want to increase the scenes of the second female lead so that the character’s image can be developed further.”

There was a moment of silence on the phone. After a long while, Director Zheng smiled bitterly and said, “Director Yan, you are making things difficult for me.”

Yan Zhang unhurriedly threw out the bait. “Director Zheng, you should be clear about Jiang Lu’s strength.

“Just adding a few more scenes won’t cause much of an impact.”

Seeing that director Zheng was still hesitant and unwilling to give in, Yan Zhang simply threw down the last bombshell.

“If it’s possible, Swallowtail will also pay attention to and invest in your next masterpiece. This is a good deal, isn’t it?”

This promise indeed made director Zheng extremely tempted.

Actually, Jiang Lu’s acting wasn’t very good in his eyes, but at least she passed the test. The main reason he asked for Jiang Lu was because in a movie, there had to be at least one or two big stars with their own fans.

Otherwise, no matter how good the movie was, no one would come and watch it. They would not be able to gain any traction.

Now that Jiang Lu wanted to take over the role, Swallowtail had also promised to invest in the next round of filming. In that case, it was not impossible to give her two extra scenes that were not too important.

Thinking of this, Director Zheng nodded. “Okay!”

..

After successfully getting the second female lead role in “Beacon”, Jiang Lu directly entered the set the next day to start filming. She did not expect to bump into Jiang Zhi.

As Jiang Zhi’s manager, she did not need to be at the set.

However, this was Yu Wan’s first movie, and also the first tough battle after the rise of “Star Glory”.

Yu Wan was so stressed that she could not sleep at night. Jiang Zhi could not be rest assured, so she decided to join the set together.

Before Jiang Zhi left, she handed over the company’s matters to Ji Hao. She suddenly remembered that another person was still waiting for her.

When Lu Mian heard the news, his blue eyes instantly darkened.

“You can’t not go?”

Jiang Zhi answered as she warmed up, “I’m her manager. I’m going to be her assistant this time. Of course, I have to go with her.”

Lu Mian lowered his eyes and cooperated with her to help Jiang Zhi relax. His tone carried a subtle sense of grievance.
