Chapter Twenty-One: Anything for the Male Lead



Yun Shudai, a fine arts graduate, achieved good results in a design competition. After her work was posted online, it caught the eye of the production team's chief designer, who felt that her style was exactly what he wanted. So, he was hired by the studio to design the cover, promotional posters, and opening sequence for "Tongtian".

Actually, for an outstanding graduate like Yun Shudai, this studio wasn't a very good choice. At the time, several excellent design companies had extended invitations to her.

But at that time, Jiang Yi was the male lead of the drama, and she did not hesitate to give up a better platform and choose this small studio.

I met Uncle Liang on set. The second female lead had quit the show, and the director was in a hurry to cast her. He was facing a budget problem and couldn't afford the actresses he liked. When he saw Yun Shudai, whom Professor Liang brought, he thought she was suitable and decided to cast her on the spot. Anyway, it was a small role and she didn't need to be well-known. It's not like she couldn't be a newcomer.

During this period, Professor Liang gave her a lot of extra acting lessons, so for her first drama, she learned on the spot and her acting skills were passable.

After the drama ended, Professor Liang saw that she had played her role well and had good looks, so he wanted to introduce her to Hongjian Studio.

Unfortunately, at that time, Yun Shudai's heart and eyes were filled with Jiang Yi.

Moreover, Jiang Yi's company extended an olive branch to her, so she chose to get close to Jiang Yi without hesitation.

Although she didn't go to Hongjian Studio, she has been taking Professor Liang's acting classes for the past few years.

"Since you don't have a management company, why don't we try working with her?"

"Uncle Liang, given my current situation, it would be a waste of your favor if they refused to accept it."

Professor Liang laughed heartily: "Don't worry about that. She's also my student. Hongjian's boss is Li Miaomiao."

"Li Miaomiao?"

The character Li Miaomiao in the book is somewhat similar to her in real life. She is a superstar and a powerful woman in the entertainment industry. The movies and TV series she takes on are all blockbusters that are both box office and critically acclaimed. She also has a ton of endorsements from top international brands.

She has invested in numerous environmental protection projects, reaping both financial and reputational benefits, and has also made a wide circle of friends. With such good resources, her studio should have many talented artists, but Li Miaomiao never plays by the rules.

She once publicly stated at a press conference that she hates all things troublesome. Because of these troubles, she has remained unmarried all these years.

She doesn't have many signed artists and has been planning to retire in the past two years.

Li Miaomiao currently manages an artist named Cheng Shuo, a 28-year-old male who has the face of a popular idol but is a promising talent with the potential to become a serious actor.

Cheng Shuo is an orphan. Li Miaomiao took a liking to him at first sight when she was doing charity work and brought him back to the studio.

Many people in the entertainment industry know that Li Miaomiao has good resources and introduce many young artists to her, hoping that they can develop under her management. Unfortunately, over the past few years, Li Miaomiao's studio only has one artist, Cheng Shuo.

However, in the past two years, Li Miaomiao has also heard a lot of opinions from friends who say that she has too few artists under her management, and that her resources are being wasted.

She's been looking at this studio these past couple of days and naturally wants to go there.

"Uncle Liang, is she willing to sign me?"

"If you're willing to go, Uncle Liang can give her a call and you can arrange a time to meet."

Yun Shudai smiled and quickly said, "I'm willing to go."

And just like that, her wish came true. With her abilities, as long as she is given the opportunity, how far is she from shining?

After seeing Uncle Liang off, Yun Shudai took her parents' arms and said, "Mom and Dad, thank you."

Yun's mother said, "No need to thank me. Based on my understanding of your Uncle Liang, this is not a difficult thing for him."

"But you always end up owing people favors, don't you?"

Mr. Yun said, "If we're talking about favors, your Uncle Liang owes me a lot."

"...?"

Yun's mother smiled and said, "Your Uncle Liang likes calligraphy and paintings, and he often asks your dad to help him appraise them."

"Oh, Uncle Liang also likes to collect antiques."
