Chapter 695 - No One is Stupid! (1/2)

Jiang Yuning called Yu Shaowei and his current agent into his office.

They were all obviously about the same age. However, Yu Shaowei and his agent could not help but feel a little frightened when they saw Jiang Yuning.

This was because it seemed as though Jiang Yuning’s sharp gaze was like a sharp sword that could penetrate into their flesh and pierce directly into their hearts.

“Did I not make things clear before this, or do the both of you have a better way for your career path?” As soon as Jiang Yuning saw the both of them walking into her office, she asked them directly as she sat at her desk.

“Director Jiang, I have already gone through the scripts. In <The Sinner>, Shaowei will only be able to play the role of the third male lead. However, if he decides to act in <The Green Mountain>, he can play the role of the second male lead then.”

“I don’t care which role he will be able to play but which of the characters do you think would be more suitable for him?” Jiang Yuning asked Yu Shaowei’s agent. “It seems as though you do not want to make him play the identity of a villain, right?”

“I…” the other party choked. After pausing for several seconds, he replied, “I just think that it is really difficult for the role of a second male lead to come by…”

Jiang Yuning understood what the agent meant. Therefore, she turned her head to look at Yu Shaowei before she asked, “What about you then? What would you have chosen?”

Yu Shaowei glanced at his agent for a moment as he thought to himself. After a while, Jiang Yuning honestly replied, “I want to act in <The Sinner>.”

<The Sinner> is a criminal investigation drama, and the character that Jiang Yuning had chosen for him is the role of a villain with a few personal crude words. There were many action scenes and he would have to play the role of a tough guy. Although his character would be doing a lot of evil, his background story was actually very distressing and dynamic. Therefore, it was a full on negative role.

Yu Shaowei’s appearance was naturally suitable for this kind of role. It seemed as though the character had been tailored made for him.

“I know what you are thinking now. Although Shaowei is not popular now, you feel that you are undermining and lowering his value by accepting the role of the third male lead. I understand your worries. However, I have already made an agreement with Teacher Lin Cangxiao and he will be making a recommendation for Shaowei to participate in one of his variety shows. When the time comes, you only need to cooperate with me and I will let you know whether what I said is right or wrong then.”

Jiang Yuning understood Yu Shaowei’s agent’s worries. It had been very difficult for Yu Shaowei to get to where he was right now. Therefore, he could not help but worry that the audience would be confused if he had a total change of personality.

“Which variety program is it?”

“<Superstar Transformation>. As a special guest.”

The variety program was not top notch. However, the accumulative reception had been good all these while. This was because this variety program was dedicated to inviting celebrities to look for amateurs for an image transformation, including their dressing and makeup. Finally, a professional makeup artist will comment on the transformation and the highest rated team will be able to win some rewards for public welfare.”

In addition to the celebrity private service exposure in each issue, there will also be professional makeup artistes who would guide them in their dressing and matching. So, it was very popular with the young audiences.

However, although it was not a top or highly raved variety program, many popular artistes were competing to be on the show.

This kind of resources could not be easily obtained by any ordinary agents.

The only reason why Jiang Yuning could get the resources was simply because Lin Cangxiao wanted to cooperate with her. It was a win-win situation for both parties. This was because Lin Cangxiao also wanted to push <Superstar Transformation> to the front line.

This was when Jiang Yuning brought Yu Shaowei up to Lin Cangxiao. It seemed as though she had already found a perfect candidate.

“Okay then, I will be waiting.”

After reaching a consensus, Jiang Yuning then placed her gaze on Yu Shaowei. “In future, you can wear whatever you want to wear, according to your own ideas and preferences. You can show me what you want to wear first and there is no need for you to pretend to be sunny and approachable. You can express what you want to express. Go ahead and express it, and be comfortable with yourself.”

After hearing Jiang Yuning’s words, there was a sparkle in Yu Shaowei’s eyes.

Perhaps it was because Jiang Yuning had been an artiste herself, so she could empathize with the artistes who were in the trough. She knew exactly what they wanted.

“Director, I won’t disappoint your expectations.”

“Then I’ll take him to catch up with his advertisements in the afternoon first.” Yu Shaowei’s manager, Luo Hangyi said respectfully to Jiang Yuning.

“Go on.”

After that, Jiang Yuning spoke with Lin Cangxiao’s side on the phone to confirm Yu Shaowei’s participation in the next episode of <Superstar Transformation>.
