648 A Million Times for You 10 (1/2)
Hence, she decided to fly over to C City in a bid to meet Yan Ge and his manager personally.
Whether or not the deal could be clinched successfully would have to depend on her sincerity.
Once she arrived at the airport, she parked her car in the car park and immediately boarded a flight towards C City.
Within two hours, the plane touched down in the airport of C City.
An Xiaoning hailed a taxi and headed to the television studio.
As soon as she reached her destination, she gave Yan Ge a call, which went through quickly.
”Hello, is this Mr. Yan?”
”You are…?”
”Hi, I'm An Xiaoning, and I would like to discuss an upcoming drama with you personally.”
”An Xiaoning? You mean Jin Qingyan's ex-wife, An Xiaoning?” Yan Ge asked.
An Xiaoning felt a sudden sense of awkwardness and answered, ”Yes.”
”May I ask where you are now?”
”I'm at the entrance of the hotel you're staying in.”
”Alright, I'll come down to fetch you right away.”
Not long after Yan Ge ended the call, a nanny van drove toward An Xiaoning. The door opened, and Yan Ge and his manager alighted.
As soon as Yan Ge alighted, a swarm of fans, who had been waiting for him outside the hotel, rushed toward him and surrounded them, though they were soon stopped from advancing forward by the bodyguards.
Yan Ge was much more dashing in person. An Xiaoning reached a hand out for a handshake and greeted while smiling, ”Nice to meet you, Mr. Yan.”
”Nice to meet you, Ms. An. Let's talk upstairs,” said Yan Ge, shaking her hand.
”Alright.”
An Xiaoning proceeded to enter the lobby of the hotel together with Yan Ge and his entourage.
”I saw on the news that you're currently in the midst of filming for a movie. Is production coming to an end soon?”
”Yes, we're more or less finished with filming. I heard that a few years ago, Ms. An invested in a movie that became a hit with booming box office sales. I thought you would continue to invest in subsequent films but, surprisingly, I haven't heard any more news since,” said Yan Ge.
An Xiaoning chuckled and said, ”I've been making it onto the news because of my private life. I haven't invested in any new films or production since then, though.”
Amused by her self-mockery, Yan Ge smiled and said, ”That's the media for you. They tend to amplify every little detail of others' private lives that they manage to get their hands on.”
Once they entered the elevator, An Xiaoning got straight to the point, ”I personally came to look you up because I'd like to discuss a new project with you. We're in the midst of preparations for an upcoming drama, and I think you're the only suitable choice for the male lead.”
”Is the story set in ancient times or present day?”
”Ancient times. But the storyline is different from those ancient historical dramas you've filmed in the past. I'll get my subordinates to send you the character writeup, as well as the rough plot of the drama, later. You may take a look at it first,” said An Xiaoning, knowing that he had starred in various dramas in the past.
”Alright.”
Once they entered Yan Ge's hotel room, the manager gave An Xiaoning his email address, after which she immediately told Jing Tian to send the documents to it.
An Xiaoning also took the chance to ask about Yan Ge's schedule for the next month.
An Xiaoning was relieved to hear that Yan Ge was planning to take a two-month break after the filming of the movie ended. His schedule would not clash with the filming of the drama, which was stipulated to begin in December, leaving Yan Ge with a month to rest.
”Ms. An, you two go ahead with the discussion. We'll excuse ourselves first,” said the manager.
”Alright.”
