Qiu Ling's agent returned empty-handed, leaving Qiu Ling very dissatisfied.

“I told you, this play is very important, and we have to persuade her no matter what. You came back so quickly.”

Qiu Ling's agent sighed helplessly, "I've said everything I could say. Mrs. Fu insists that all the roles have already been confirmed and signed, and the official announcement will be made soon. There's no chance for collaboration this time."

Everyone knows that "Butterfly in the Sea" is important. Countless people are eager to get a role in this play, but they can only accept that they don't have the opportunity.

After all, the director is Mrs. Fu, and the producer is the third young master of the Fu family, both of whom are not short of money.

If you try to bribe them, they're not short of money; if you try to give them away, daring to arrange a man for Mrs. Fu is suicidal.

“We’ve already collaborated twice, so the new movie should have approached me first, but they went to Ling Jiao, who acts in TV dramas.” Qiu Ling became more and more indignant.

Ling Jiao has starred in very few movies, mostly acting in TV series. It's quite daring of her to cast someone like her as the lead.

Qiu Ling's agent knew she was upset. Her fans always said she was Mrs. Fu's go-to leading lady, but now that Ling Jiao had been cast as the leading lady in "Butterfly in the Sea," it was a slap in the face for her.

Moreover, if Ling Jiao becomes popular in this drama, she will become her competitor in the future, so it is completely understandable that she is anxious at this time.

In particular, her two most recent films both flopped at the box office.

“Ling Jiao is with Young Master Fu, so it’s natural that she’s closer to Mrs. Fu. It’s only natural that she’s chosen. No matter how much we’ve worked together, we don’t really have any personal relationship.” Qiu Ling’s agent was quite rational, and being rejected was a result she had expected.

"If it weren't for the connection with Young Master Fu, she might not have gotten the lead role," Qiu Ling said angrily.

After their previous collaboration, she had tried to keep in touch with Mrs. Fu.

However, after the movie was released, Mrs. Fu disappeared from the public eye and did not engage in the film industry for several years. She barely managed her Weibo account and devoted herself to having and raising her children.

She doesn't operate within this circle. No matter how capable she is, she can't possibly try to curry favor with the Fu family or others.

Because Ling Jiao had Fu Shiqin as her boyfriend, she had the opportunity to visit the Fu family and naturally became familiar with Mrs. Fu.

"Thinking about it that way, we don't have anything to be resentful about. After all, we don't have that deep a personal relationship with Mrs. Fu," Qiu Ling's agent said. "There are a few good scripts coming out recently. Take a look when you have time."

Ling Jiao sighed, showing absolutely no interest.

"With that film 'Butterfly in the Sea,' no matter which script I choose, the box office will only be crushed."

Two of Mrs. Fu's previous films broke box office records, and no one has broken them to this day. Perhaps only she herself can break her records.

I heard that the rights to the novel "Butterfly in the Sea" were bought several years ago, but it was only filmed this year, so they must have done a lot of preparation.

Therefore, this movie will definitely become the most anticipated movie of the year, and whatever she acts in at this time will be overshadowed by the brilliance of "Butterfly in the Sea".

"There are so many movies that she has crushed, are they all going to stop making them?" Qiu Ling's agent said, putting several scripts on the table. "She can't act in 'Butterfly in the Sea,' but she can still take on other roles. She has scripts from Director Yi and Director Mo, and their films are never too bad."
