Chapter 36 - Mysterious Recommendation Letter (3)

The next day, Li Qi called Lan Jinyao to organise a meeting with the new Director. That person had a rather strange stage name; Big Fish. When they were on their way to meet him, Lan Jinyao kept pestering Li Qi to find out why he didn't use his real name. Li Qi told her that she would understand why later on when she met him in person. Then, when they arrived at their destination, Lan Jinyao looked at the man’s facial features which were slightly hidden underneath his cap, and her eyes widened in surprise.

“This is the so-called new Director recommended by Director Chang?”

Didn’t they say that he wasn’t famous? Weren’t they saying that he didn’t have any previous works? Then what was up with this scenario in front of her? To think that the King of Acting had changed professions and was now a Director!

“Li Qi, do you know him? He’s Alan, the male lead of the movie ‘Blood’ from many years ago. He’s the one who was crowned the King of Acting after filming that movie! Why would Chang Sheng say that he was a rookie? That’s utterly unfathomable.”

Lan Jinyao had never expected that she would get to see this person here as she’d thought that he’d never set foot in the entertainment circle again. After all, so many years had already passed.

She was so excited that she didn't even notice that her fingernails were jabbing Li Qi’s skin.

Li Qi frowned and shook her hand away. He then remarked with a dumbfounded expression, “I didn't realise that your taste is so similar to that of Jinyao’s. This actor stepped down many years ago. Now, most likely only a few people still remember him. It’s unexpected that you’d know who he is.”

Even Chang Sheng, a first-class Director of the entertainment industry didn’t know who Alan was. To think that a shallow woman like Chen Meimei would actually be able to recognise him was a surprise.

The moment Lan Jinyao heard Li Qi mention her real name, the smile on her face froze for an instant and her expression became somewhat unnatural.

“Hello, Chen Meimei!”

The man removed his cap and revealed the face of a man in his thirties before extending his hand towards Chen Meimei.

Oh, this was her idol’s hand! Lan Jinyao seized his hand and was reluctant to let go. If it weren’t for the fact that Li Qi coughed twice beside her, she probably wouldn’t have let go of his hand.

While Lan Jinyao and Alan were discussing the roles on their end, Chang Sheng, on the other hand, was holding onto a letter as he entered Blue Hall Entertainment to look for Chen Meimei. After waiting in the office for a long while with the envelope in his hand, there was still no sign of Chen Meimei.

As far as he knew, Chen Meimei ought to be at the company by now!

When another ten minutes had passed, Chen Meimei had still not appeared. Instead, he happened to bump into Shen Yu. Shen Yu was actually just passing by the office on his way to look for an artist, but he’d surprisingly run into this busy bee. It was entirely unexpected for him to visit the company, so he immediately walked in and greeted him.

“Director Chang, how did you have the time to come over today? Could it be that you’ve got your eyes on a certain artist of ours?”

Chang Sheng awkwardly smiled and replied, “Indeed, I came here today to look for Chen Meimei. I’ve just started shooting A Thousand Years Of Tears, and someone’s already recommending a new artist to me for a role. Moreover, the recommended artist was Chen Meimei. This favour’s really hard to decline! Hence, I came here today to talk to Chen Meimei about this matter.”

“Someone recommended Chen Meimei?” Shen Yu's curiosity was immediately roused upon hearing what Chang Sheng had said.

As far as Chen Meimei was concerned, she didn’t have many connections, yet someone actually recommended her? That person was certainly not simple, as he or she had managed to make even Chang Sheng give some leeway this time.

Shen Yu asked again, “Director Chang, didn't you say yesterday that you’ve already recommended Chen Meimei for a new drama?”
