722 An Old and Ugly Sponsor (1/2)
Since her father was the greatest stakeholder of Cathay Entertainment, which was the main sponsor of the drama, it came as no surprise that the leading female role must would be assigned to his daughter. There wasn't any other reason for her to not be made the female lead of the drama.
Tang Mo'er looked at Qi Xi. ”So this President Bai is the boss of Cathay Entertainment?”
Qi Xi shook her head in response. ”I don't think that's the case, it's said that Cathay Entertainment is a subsidiary of a conglomerate business. The President of that corporation is the real boss of Cathay Entertainment.”
But Qi Xi couldn't recall the name of the corporation.
The door of the luxurious van was pushed open, and Bai Feifei alighted from it.
It was true that Bai Feifei was a beautiful woman, the maxi dress she was wearing perfectly enhanced her beautiful, hourglass figure. However, her personality wasn't the best as she was born into a wealthy family and was known to be a haughty person.
”Mo'er, this Bai Feifei's acting isn't that good at all. Almost half of all her scenes in dramas or movies are shot using body doubles and she even has to rely on post-production editing most of the time. However, since she does have the looks and a resourceful father, she has the best resources on hand. Along with the power of the public relations department in Cathay Entertainment, Bai Feifei has managed to acquire a group of diehard fans. Look, she only debuted for not long but she has already managed to become the leader of the four most popular female stars.”
The fact is, Qi Xi actually despised untalented female stars like Bai Feifei the most. To her, those superficial stars who only managed to rise to popularity with the help of their family background and connections, frankly, just irritated her to no end. If Mo'er hadn't disappeared for three years, Bai Feifei would never have been able to become the leader of the four most popular female stars.
Speak of the devil… Bai Feifei walked over in their direction just as they were discussing her. It seemed she had spotted Tang Mo'er in one glance.
There wasn't anyone in the entertainment who didn't know who Tang Mo'er was, moreover, Bai Feifei was the leader of the four most popular female stars, she must have known. With Tang Mo'er being the previous leader of the four most popular female stars, she naturally invited the attention of Bai Feifei, since women were creatures who loved comparing things. Bai Feifei carefully studied her from head to toe.
”You're Tang Mo'er?”
Even her tone was condescending and full of contempt.
Qi Xi wanted to speak up, but before she could do so Tang Mo'er already stopped her from doing so. Tang Mo'er looked in Bai Feifei's eyes, smiling ungrudgingly. ”I am.”
Today, Tang Mo'er wore a black blouse with a pearl embellished collar and a yellow-striped long skirt underneath, sporting an elegant style. Her wavy hair was pulled back into a low ponytail and her skin seemed even more fair in contrast with the black blouse, her beauty enhanced and she was just like a perfect piece of art from afar.
As Bai Feifei had always thought of herself as the greatest beauty in the entire entertainment industry, seeing Tang Mo'er's ravishing beauty, she could not help but feel a stinging jealousy inside. She sent a cold-eyed stare in Tang Mo'er's direction before she spun around and flounced up the stairs.
”Mo'er, I feel like this Bai Feifei seems a little hostile.”
Tang Mo'er winked playfully at Qi Xi. ”Haiz, this is probably the woes of being a beauty.”
Qi Xi giggled after hearing her. ”Mo'er, are you happy now after joking around? Let's go and choose our room, there aren't going to be any left if we don't hurry up.”
The cast of 'The Concubine' had already been set, most of the characters would be portrayed by popular female stars in the industry and the crew had made it clear that no rooms were assigned and to be fair, availability was based on a first come first served basis.
But Bai Feifei was a special case, she naturally occupied the Presidential Suite.
By the time Tang Mo'er and Qi Xi rushed to choose their room, there was only one left for them.
Han Xiaowan was also present, she instantly sniggered. ”Oh my, Sister, you're too late. There's only one room left, you have no other choice but to stay there.”
Han Xiaowan then waved the gold room card she held around gloatingly. ”See, I'm occupying the executive suite.”
Rolling her eyes at Han Xiaowan, Qi Xi held back a sneer. Why did this woman appear everywhere they went? Was she a leech?
Next to her, Tang Mo'er remained impassive. To be honest, it didn't matter to her whichever room she had to stay in. She talked to the crew member, ”I'll occupy the leftover room then. Can I please have the key card?”
The crew member asked politely, ”May I know if you are Miss Tang?”
”Yes, that's right.”
”Miss Tang, my apologies, I can't give you this room.”
”What?” Qi Xi was not happy at all and her mouth twitched in displeasure. ”There's only one room left, if you're not going to let Mo'er have it, where is she going to stay then?”
