33. Meet the Director

After Guan Miao sent Deng Ling home, he whispered, "Sister Anjing, have you been in touch with Sister Chi Yi these past two days?"

"We chatted for a few minutes. She asked me how I was doing recently. She also said that she would be back on the 18th at the latest and asked me to take good care of me."

"It's really hard for Sister Chi to still think of me even though she's so busy."

An Jing looked calm, but her heart was beating fast. Did Miaomiao think that Sister Chi Yi was interfering too much?

Taking advantage of the red light, she tapped the steering wheel and pretended to be relaxed, saying: "After all, you are a national treasure now. Of course, we always keep you in our hearts."

"I know." His tone was very soft. After he finished speaking, Guan Miao supported his head and looked at the scenery outside the window. His heart was as messy as a ball of unkempt wool.

Even though her mind was in a mess, it did not affect her interview the next day, and everything went on in an orderly manner.

Guan Family, "I've made an appointment with Geng Le, and they said they can come to the company to meet me if they're free on the 18th. What do you think?"

Guan Miao nodded, "The 18th is fine, let me know the specific time once you decide."

"Okay, one more thing. The endorsement products I mentioned earlier have been sent to the company, and Lao Li is on his way home. Find some time to try them out and see which one you like better.

I've reviewed the variety show contract and it's fine. Please sign it on the 18th to avoid any complications."

Guan Miao nodded, thought for a few seconds and asked, "How is the broadcast of "Ding Feng Hua" now?"

When she mentioned this, a smile appeared on Deng Ling's face. "It's airing very well. Several of the main actors have already started hyping up the couple. Xue'er also hired some online fans to hype up the couple between you and Xu Ruoming. The response has been good.

I saw that the official blog released some material about your later transformation into a villain, so I asked Xueer to edit a comparison between the Seventh Princess before and after. In addition, ambitious female characters are very popular nowadays.

So now most of the audience is looking forward to your role, and since you don’t have an official partner in the show, you can go for the independent and beautiful self-reliant route, which is still very attractive to female fans.”

Hearing her say this, Guan Miao was relieved, "That's good, I saw that the crew didn't contact me much, asking me to promote it, I thought it didn't air well."

Deng Ling said nonchalantly, "Zheng Yuan is just like that. A few roadshows before the show starts are a must, but he's too lazy to bother the actors during the show.

Because he felt that after such a long time from filming to broadcast, the actors must have been distracted from the show, and having them marketed together would only affect their characters.”

"I see."

…

At 8:55 am on the 18th, Geng Le and Xia Ping arrived at the entrance of Morning Star Company on time.

"Old Xia, please be a little more polite when we see each other later. Don't be so blunt and humiliate the boss like you did last time."

Xia Ping, who was named, straightened his black cotton coat, his thin face full of displeasure.

Without waiting for him to speak, Geng Le slapped him hard on the back with his right hand, causing him to stagger and almost fall flat on his face.

"Did you hear that?"

"Got it," he said coldly, putting on his hat. "I'll keep quiet this time, okay?"

Seeing him compromise, Geng Le's slightly chubby face immediately smiled, "Okay, let's go in quickly then."

After the two arrived at the designated floor, they were led to the conference room by Sun Mi. "Teachers Guan and Deng are waiting for you inside."

"Thanks."

Geng Le took several deep breaths outside the door, clenching and relaxing his hands repeatedly, trying to calm himself down.

This was the sixth investor they had met. If they failed again, they would have to choose between selling the script at a low price or giving up completely.

No matter which result it is, they don't want to see it.

Fingers made a crisp sound on the glass door, and the next second, a slightly cold female voice came from inside, "Come in."

After the two sides introduced themselves to each other, they sat down again and prepared to discuss in detail.

"Director Geng, let me be frank. I'm very interested in the role of Su Yin. Do you think I'm suitable for this role?"

"Su Yin?"

Geng Le was very surprised and asked, "Teacher Guan, I remember that the Seventh Princess you played in Ding Feng Hua was gentle and dignified. This is more in line with Qu Han's image. Why did you choose Su Yin instead?"

Facing Geng Le's doubts, Guan Miao raised his left eyebrow slightly and smiled faintly, "I can't always play only one role in my life. The role of Su Yin is very challenging for me now."

Xia Ping, who had been silent since introducing himself, finally spoke. He looked up and said without any emotion, "Then please ask Teacher Guan to perform a segment on the spot so that we can make a judgment."

Geng Le's eyebrows jumped, and he patted him with his hand under the table, signaling with his eyes: [What's wrong with you! Didn't you agree not to offend others?]

Xia Ping turned around and didn't even give him face. "Are you trying to put a vase in the crew just to raise funds? Then will this show still be watchable?"

[you! ]

The three people opposite could see clearly the exchange of glances between the two of them, and they were too embarrassed to interrupt, so Guan Miao had to wait until they finished before speaking.

"There's a practice room right next door, if you don't mind, let's go over there and talk in detail."

"good."

Geng Le rubbed his hands together and smiled awkwardly, "Thank you so much for troubling Teacher Guan."

"You're welcome. Teacher Xia is also trying to ensure quality."

Deng Ling also went over to watch for a while. In the practice room, Guan Miao was facing the air, speaking long lines with an arrogant face and sharp eyes. Although he spoke quickly, every word could be heard clearly.

It's really incongruous no matter how you look at it to see such sharp and sarcastic lines spoken with such a pure and innocent face.

But it was obvious that Geng Le and Xia Ping were very satisfied with Guan Miao's performance, and they had smiles on their faces.

It seems that I can prepare the contract now.

As Deng Ling expected, just as she finished explaining the situation to the people from the Legal Department, she saw Geng Le, smiling, following Guan Miao and talking about the script. Even Xia Ping, who had been sullen just now, changed his expression.

After the conference room door was closed again, Geng Le said, "Teacher Guan's acting skills really opened my eyes. You are so suitable for the role of Su Yin."

Guan Miao drank his tea and accepted his flattery with a rather awkward feeling. "As long as Director Geng thinks it's suitable, that's fine. Then let's talk about the other actors now?"

The smile in Geng Le's eyes faded a little, and he forced a smile and asked, "Teacher Guan, do you have a good candidate in mind?"

Guan Miao shook his head decisively, "No, I thought you had been preparing for so long, you should have already had a favorite candidate."

Hearing her say no, Geng Le breathed a sigh of relief. "To be honest, before today, Lao Xia and I both thought this script was completely abandoned. We never dared to think about who would play this role."

"Director Geng, I have a general understanding of your situation. In your opinion, how much funding is needed to film this drama?"

Geng Le blinked, hesitated for a few seconds and said, "Thirty million?"

Guan Miao nodded and said, "I'll invest 50 million in you."
