Chapter 17 The calves are dazzlingly white

Luo Zheng nodded repeatedly with satisfaction, and the look he gave Sang Wan seemed to have a ten-level beauty filter. The more he looked at her, the more he felt that this was the Luo Qiao in his mind.

After the audition, Luo Zheng personally escorted Sang Wan out, his face showing undisguised admiration.

"Ms. Sang, your performance is very spiritual. The role of Luo Qiao is perfect for you."

"Director Luo, it's nice to meet me, Sang Wan. I'm a junior, and I'll need your guidance in the future."

Luo Zheng nodded, "Humble and smart, not bad."

When Song Ziqian saw Luo Zheng personally sending the person out, the fire in her eyes almost burst out. Why did Director Luo seem to admire Sang Wan so much?

But it has been rumored that the female lead is Liu Xi, who is recognized in the industry for her beauty and strength. Naturally, she would not have thought that Sang Wan would be the female lead.

When she was asked to audition, Song Ziqian suppressed the jealousy in her eyes.

After sending Sang Wan to the elevator, Luo Zheng said, "I've organized a party tonight to introduce the creative team. Several investors will also be in attendance. After all, you have less experience, so attending more events like this will be beneficial for you."

Sang Wan smiled slightly, her voice gentle but polite: "Thank you, Director Luo, for the opportunity. I will definitely be there tonight."

This leading female role came so suddenly, like a pie in the sky, studded with diamonds.

She knew in her heart that such an opportunity was rare.

Bai Wei also said politely, "Sang Wan is young and inexperienced. I hope Director Luo will give her more guidance in the future."

Luo Zheng smiled and said, "Xiaobai, the people you lead are very powerful. I will ask you to give them more opportunities in the future."

After being flattered, Bai Wei looked polite and humble, but her heart was already blossoming.

Luo Zheng had never expected that not only would he receive a high investment amount, but he would also get such an outstanding actor, which was a double blessing.

After leaving the film and television company, Bai Wei was still dizzy, as if she was walking on clouds.

She excitedly grabbed Sang Wan's arm, "The leading actress in an S+-rated blockbuster! Director Luo Zheng is directing it himself! Oh my god, so many people are eyeing this piece of fat meat, and we just... got it so easily?"

Sang Wan herself was a little dazed, but she was more looking forward to the role itself.

"Maybe... it was my acting that conquered him?" She winked mischievously.

"I feel like I'm dreaming right now. I was thinking about getting the second female lead before. What's wrong with my brain?"

Qi Qi added as she drove: "Sister Wei, from now on, you should think boldly. It's not about how bold a person is, how fertile the land is."

Sang Wan frowned. "Why does it sound so bad? Who am I?"

Bai Wei laughed instantly, "Hahaha, you are fertile soil. Once the seeds are sown, they will bloom and bear fruit."

I just finished saying it, why do I feel like something is wrong?

Bai Wei glanced at Sang Wan and Qi Qi. Fortunately, they were both little girls and had no partners, otherwise, she would definitely have some bad thoughts.

Dusk is falling and the lights are coming on.

Inside the top-level box of the "Mo Yuxuan" private club, the atmosphere was not as lively as that of an ordinary banquet.

It was simply because the man sitting in the main seat had such a powerful aura.

Lu Tingzhou wore a well-tailored suit that accentuated his tall and straight figure. He sat there, seemingly enveloped by an invisible barrier, aloof and aloof, yet imposing without even anger.

Even if one was just casually leaning back in a chair, one couldn't talk or laugh easily. The atmosphere didn't feel like a banquet, but more like sitting at a negotiation table.

He had not wanted to attend such an occasion. Luo Zheng was a classmate of his eldest brother. This time, Lu suddenly proposed to enter the film and television industry, and Luo Zheng supported it without hesitation.

Even without Lu's investment, given Luo Zheng's fame, it was only a matter of time before he could attract high investment.

What's more, he squeezed someone in there.

As for the Sai people... Lu Tingzhou's eyes deepened, and a pretty figure flashed through his mind.

When Sang Wan arrived, the box was filled with this eerie silence.

She was wearing a light mint green sleeveless long dress, which was fresh and elegant, outlining her exquisite figure.

The hem of her skirt swayed as she walked, revealing a dazzlingly white calf.

As soon as I entered the door, almost everyone looked at me vaguely.

As soon as Luo Zheng saw her, he immediately came forward to greet her.

"Sang Wan, come on, I've been waiting for you!"

As he spoke, he naturally led Sang Wan to the main table and walked straight to the empty seat next to Lu Tingzhou.

Luo Zheng has been in the industry for many years and has become a shrewd person. Lu Tingzhou spoke personally, and although he didn't say it explicitly, his meaning couldn't be clearer. It's a common practice for a big boss to spend money and insert someone along the way.

What was rare was that the person sent this time turned out to be a pleasant surprise, and his acting skills were so good that he couldn't find any fault with them.

Therefore, he reserved this position specifically for Sang Wan.

Sang Wan was a little stunned, looking at Lu Tingzhou who was so close to her. His deep eyes were calm, making it impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.

She nodded politely: "Mr. Lu."

Lu Tingzhou nodded lightly, his gaze lingering on her face for less than a few seconds before moving away, but the knuckles holding the wine glass tightened almost imperceptibly.

Luo Zheng was puzzled, thinking that there was something unusual between the two. It seemed that this big man didn't like Sang Wan very much.

He has seen all kinds of unspoken rules in the circle for so many years, but he really has no idea what this person means.

Song Ziqian had already arrived and was sitting at the side. When she saw this scene, she was so angry that her face turned green.

That position! The position next to Lu Tingzhou! How could Sang Wan deserve it?!

The female lead is Liu Xi, the second female lead is herself, and Sang Wan is at most the third female lead. How did Director Luo let her sit by Lu Tingzhou's side?

Song Ziqian glanced at Sang Wan with disdain, thinking that the third female lead was worthy of Luo Zheng's attentiveness, and even let her sit next to Mr. Lu? This Sang Wan's tactics are really becoming more and more incomprehensible.

Holding the wine glass, she elegantly leaned towards Sang Wan, lowering her voice with undisguised sarcasm in her tone.

"Sang Wan, I really underestimated you. To climb the ladder, you're willing to take the role of the third female lead? You really are... not picky."

Sang Wan picked up the juice in front of him and took a sip. He didn't even glance at Song Ziqian, as if he didn't hear anything.

This kind of disregard made Song Ziqian more uncomfortable than any retort.

Why do you look down on a third female lead?

Song Ziqian wanted to say something else, but Luo Zheng raised his glass and said loudly: "Everyone! Today is the first official meeting of the main creators of our "Wind and Clouds" crew. It's a pity that our male lead Xiao Yan can't make it tonight because of his schedule."

Everyone knows that Xiao Yan's schedule is tight, and Xiao Yan was decided to be the male lead in this drama from the beginning, so naturally no one would say anything.

"However, Xiao Yan specifically asked me to convey that he is very much looking forward to working with Miss Sang Wan!"

As he spoke, Luo Zheng looked at Sang Wan with burning eyes and raised his voice:

"Now, I solemnly introduce to everyone the leading actress of our "Storm Rising," the actress who plays Luo Qiao—Miss Sang Wan! Welcome Sang Wan to join us! I believe that Sang Wan will definitely create a perfect Luo Qiao for us!"

As soon as he finished speaking, warm applause broke out in the box.

Sang Wan stood up and bowed gracefully to everyone, a proper smile on her lips: "Thank you, Director Luo, thank you everyone, I will do my best to interpret the role of Luo Qiao well and live up to everyone's expectations."

Her voice was still soft, but also firm.

Lu Tingzhou's gaze fell on her, and a hint of tenderness and... pride flashed across his deep eyes.

Song Ziqian was completely dumbfounded.

Her hand holding the wine glass froze in mid-air, and the expression on her face was as if she had been slapped hard in the face, burning with pain.

Luo Qiao?

The leading female role in "The Storm"!

She... Sang Wan... is the leading female character?!

How is that possible!

She tried so hard and begged for so long, but she only got the second female role. Why did Sang Wan get the first female role?

Song Ziqian felt her head buzzing. All the taunts she had made to Sang Wan just now were like loud slaps in the face, hitting her hard.

She looked at Sang Wan, who was calm and composed under the attention of everyone, and then looked at Lu Tingzhou, who had no expression on his face from beginning to end, sitting in the main seat. She felt angry and hateful.

Because she just saw Lu Tingzhou seemed to curl the corners of his mouth.

Such a cold person actually smiled faintly when the director said Sang Wan was the heroine.

He promised his sister that he would take care of her. Since he is the investor, why can't he let himself play the leading female role?

Song Ziqian's face turned pale as paper in an instant.

She never thought that Sang Wan would be the leading female role!

Sang Wan, who had been trampled under her feet and ridiculed countless times and who she thought was only fit to play the third female supporting role, unexpectedly and quietly won the female lead role that she had never dared to dream of!

She clenched the goblet in her hand fiercely, the smile on her face was stiff, and she tried hard to maintain the decency she should have at the moment.

Suppressing the jealousy in her heart, she waited until Sang Wan and Director Luo toasted before she had the chance to leave the private room.

As soon as Song Ziqian entered the bathroom, she started making a phone call.

Soon, a lazy female voice came from the other end: "Xixi? What's wrong? Why are you calling me at this time?"

"Sister!" Song Ziqian's voice was filled with tears, full of grievance and resentment. "Sister, if you don't come back, Lu Tingzhou will be snatched away by a vixen!"

The woman on the other end of the phone paused, her voice still steady: "How is that possible? Tingzhou hasn't even glanced at other women in all these years."

"Sister, it's better to be safe than sorry. What if?" Song Ziqian lowered her voice. "Mr. Lu invested in 'The Storm Rising', and because of him, I only got the second female lead role. Sang Wan has the same experience as me and debuted a year later than me, but she unexpectedly became the number one female lead."

"Female No. 1?" The voice on the other end of the line finally showed a hint of emotion. "Did Lu Tingzhou choose it personally?"

"It's hard to say." Song Ziqian fanned the flames, "Otherwise, how could Sang Wan possibly get the role of Luo Qiao? Sis, you have to think of a solution quickly! I can't let her be so proud!"

There was silence on the other end of the line for a few seconds before he slowly spoke, "Don't worry. I know Lu Tingzhou better than you do. Since he promised to look after you, he won't break his promise. Although your previous role was also the second female lead, it received good reviews, and your traffic has increased significantly. As for that Wan... he's just a clown, and he definitely has nothing to do with Tingzhou."

"But……"
