My wife is clearly the best actress, but I insist on going solo.
Eating soft rice is impossible; I won't do it in this lifetime—
...She saw Wei Shaoyan's displeased actions at the moment, but she didn't care. Even though Wei Shaoyan had such power, she did not weaken her momentum.
"Come on, I'll just talk about the important things." Wei Shaoyan tapped the table. "Your company once promised to reduce our salaries by 30%. I think both of you have no objection to this, right?"
"No." Yan Xu nodded.
"Neither do I." Wang Jie smiled charmingly at this time, but her eyes were very bright, "But——"
It's you, woman, who's causing trouble again!
Wei Shaoyan spat inwardly and said patiently, "Miss Wang, please tell me what your requirements are. Whether it's clothing or makeup, we can try our best to meet any appropriate requirements."
He is not a newcomer. Some stars like to hire well-known makeup artists, for fear that their makeup cannot show their beauty. However, this is obviously beneficial for filming, so Wei Shaoyan will not be too demanding in this regard.
"No, Mr. Wei, you're overthinking it."
Unexpectedly, Wang Jie looked into Wei Shaoyan's eyes and chuckled, "That's not what I want."
"What is that?"
"I hope I can have the power to make slight changes to the script if I'm not satisfied with the plot. That should be okay, right, Mr. Wei?"
She was still smiling and speaking softly, as if what she said was not an excessive request at all.
But Wei Shaoyan frowned suddenly. He looked at Wang Jie without saying anything.
"Mr. Wei, it's not that I don't trust Director Qin, but in costume dramas like this, especially those about political intrigue, as far as I know, female characters always have very few scenes. I'm only doing this for my own benefit and for the sake of the drama. I'm the most popular of all the actors, and I have the highest salary. If my scenes are too few, wouldn't that mean you and Director Qin have wasted your money?"
Wow, that really makes sense.
Wei Shaoyan couldn't help but clap his feet for Wang Jie, and after a while he said with relief and satisfaction,
"I'm sorry, Miss Wang, but I don't think our cooperation this time will work out."
"Then, take care, both of you. I won't say goodbye. I'll talk to your manager later and ask him to send two other candidates. Even if they're newcomers, as long as their acting skills and age and experience are suitable, we're willing to hire them. I believe your company will be happy to do the same."
"Oh."
Wang Jie suddenly raised her eyebrows. She was also amused by Wei Shaoyan's petty words. She turned around and said to Wei Shaoyan,
"childish."
"hey-hey."
Wei Shaoyan was not angry either. He thought Wang Jie was really funny. As expected, a stable aura is good, a stable aura is great, a stable aura is the best. I can even appreciate the ugly look of others when they are angry.
But it's so interesting.
"Thank you for the compliment, Miss Wang. I won't see you off then. Of course, if Miss Wang changes her mind, we can still talk again, but that's impossible at the moment. Bye."
