“Director, this show’s filming has already been completed. I’m prepared to invest in another show, would you be interested?” asked Chief Yang.

When Director Zhu heard this, he was very excited. He was just a director and although he had many connections, the money required to film a show was not easy to get. Even if he had a great script, without the resources and investments, he would be hard pressed.

“I am interested. I’m very interested,” replied Director Zhu very quickly.

Chief Yang was very pleased with Director Zhu’s response. This was how a director should respond. “I’m looking at the next half of the year to start filming. As for the female lead, I think Qing Qing is really pretty good. She’ll be the first female lead once again.”

Of course, Director Zhu understood. This Chief Yang probably just wanted to boost Xie Qing.

But besides her beautiful appearance, this Xie Qing was just like a flower vase. She could even turn a first-rate script into a second-rate show. But Director Zhu couldn’t say anything about it. He could only bear with it.

Some of the actors around, as well as the second and third female lead actors, were filled with envy. Having someone to back you is really great.

When actors aren’t famous yet, enduring some hardship is fine. When they become famous and their status becomes high, they would have the power to negotiate. When that happens, they would be able to clear their names and what happened before would not be a problem anymore.

Xie Qing raised her head proudly like an arrogant swan. She looked around with delightful eyes.

See this? What I have, you all will never get.

This is the difference between us.

“Chen Bao Guo, for the next film, do you wanna play another character?” Previously, he had called him Teacher Chen but now, he directly called him by his name. Although Chen Bao Guo was influential in the film industry, to Chief Yang, he was just a normal person.

Chen Bao Guo smiled as he waved his hand in rejection. “Nah, I’m getting old. My energy can’t keep up. I’m going to have a good rest.”

He had acted in this show just to return a favor. Now that the favor had been returned, he had no plans to continue.

“Alright then.” Chief Yang nodded. Then, he thought about Chief Wang’s liking for the second female lead. He looked at Wu Huan Yue. “Director Zhu, I think this actor is pretty good. She could continue being the second female lead in the next show.”

Besides Wu Huan Yue, when the other secondary female leads heard this, they were all filled with envy once again. Their fiery gazes shifted to Chief Yang as they thought to themselves. Pick me! Pick me!

They knew that this kind of investment was worth at least 100 million dollars. It would be a huge production. If they managed to act in it, it would definitely have a huge impact on their futures.

If they could suddenly skyrocket their fame, that would be amazing.

Director Zhu was an experienced man, how could he not understand the intention behind that? But he didn’t reply, because he knew that Wu Huan Yue had someone backing her too. Eastern Han Group was famous in Shanghai and he had heard before that Wu Huan Yue had a pretty deep relationship with Master Lin. He just didn’t know how deep. It was just a rumor in the entertainment circle and no one knew for sure.

Xie Qing furrowed her brows in displeasure. “Chief Yang, we just finished this show today, it’s a little early to talk about the next one. Let’s wait until everything is over.” Then, she pointed at one of the secondary female actors. “Hey you, get us some water. I’m a little thirsty.”

The secondary female actor was unhappy but she had no choice. She had a lower status and could only go and fetch the water obediently.

Soon, the little celebrity came back with the water and handed it over respectfully. “Sister Xie, here’s the water.”

“Mmm.” Xie Qing didn’t even move her lips and just uttered a sound as she took over the water.

When the little celebrity was about to pass some water to Wu Huan Yue, Xie Qing interrupted.

“There’s a weird taste in this water. Give me that one.” The little celebrity felt a little awkward. Then, she retracted her hand and passed that bottle of water that had been meant for Wu Huan Yue to Xie Qing.
