Chapter 935: Such a peaceful boot-licking ceremony

Translator: Sparrow Translations  Editor: Sparrow Translations

“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.

“I’ll get another bottle.

Wu Huan Yue shook her head. “No need. I’m not thirsty.”

The atmosphere was a little strange but everyone could sense what the tension was all about.

Director Zhu understood the situation but didn’t say anything. At the filming site, everyone was rather respectful to Wu Huan Yue. As for Xie Qing, not many people dared to strike up a conversation with her, mainly because she was too stuck up and she viewed everyone as below her.

Moreover, Wu Huan Yue’s acting skills were indeed brilliant and she had been complimented a lot.

Xie Qing was a jealous person, so she naturally couldn’t stand Wu Huan Yue.

The surrounding film crew was packing up. Everyone gathered around the three people and started chatting. Some celebrities were gathered by Xie Qing’s side while Director Zhu and some of the other people in charge of the film crew were accompanying Chief Yang and Wang Xun, smiling as they chatted.

Wu Huan Yue and Chen Bao Guo had pretty much been ignored. They stood there silently listening as if they were nothing but air.

“Director Zhu, you have to build your relationship with Chief Wang. In the next show, he’s going to increase his investment exponentially. He’s going to use big intellectual properties in the movie. It has to become very popular,” said Chief Yang.

Director Zhu replied, “Yes, yes, it will definitely be very popular. Nowadays, intellectual property is very popular.

Wang Xun smiled. “Whether it will be popular is unknown but this intellectual property is indeed huge. I spent 50 million just on the TV rights for this intellectual property. I predict an investment of at least a billion. Moreover, we still have to invite some big name celebrities to come and support us. We’ll try to create next year’s Best TV Show.”

Chief Yang said with a smile, “Once this show is out, there’ll probably be so many celebrities that want to act in it that we’ll go crazy.”

Everyone around was extremely eager. They felt that it was way too dominant. This was the era of internet intellectual property. Various hit movies and TV shows all involved big intellectual properties. If they could act inside, it would be amazing.

Xie Qing was filled with delight. She asked with a delicate voice, “Chief Yang, will I really be the first female lead?”

Chief Yang replied, “Of course. If I said it, it will definitely happen. I know how hard you work. I will never let go of a good actor.”

Everyone was very envious of Xie Qing. Although many people didn’t like her, in this industry, there were times that they had to act shamelessly.

Many people crowded around and called out ‘Sister Xie’ sweetly.

Everyone placed their attention on her and they surrounded her.

*Ding ding*

At that moment, the ringing of a phone disrupted this peaceful boot-licking ceremony.

Wu Huan Yue had been smiling thinly as she politely listened. But when she saw her phone display, a bright and beaming smile emerged on her face.

“Excuse me, everyone. I’m going to pick up a friend. My friend is here to see me,” said Wu Huan Yue.

Without waiting for a reply, Wu Huan Yue answered the call and rushed over.

Chief Yang frowned. He was a little displeased. He had said so much and it had actually been for Wu Huan Yue to hear. He wanted to let her know that, in this industry, she had to have connections and she had to have people to carry her.

And Chief Wang was that person for her. He wanted to tell her to seize this opportunity.

But what a shame. This Wu Huan Yue seemed not to be bothered by that at all.
