"Oh... well, I must say, the sun is really nice tonight!"
Tang Yilan gave a few incoherent replies and quickly hung up the phone.
Huo Zhixing, with a serious expression, handed the phone back to Jiang Can and touched his chin.
He remained silent for a long time, and Jiang Can thought he was angry. She leaned her head against his chest, about to say something nice, when she heard the man's deep voice:
"This Tang Yilan is getting bolder and bolder!"
"Um?"
"It seems someone really needs to keep an eye on her!" Huo Zhixing looked down into her watery eyes.
Jiang Can couldn't see the depth in his eyes, but she felt that the man's smile resembled that of an old fox.
He was unaware of what Huo Zhixing was thinking at that moment—
Ye Chen also has business in the UK. Why don't we invite him over for a few days?
Nie Xin should also pursue further studies; perhaps we could get him a spot at a drama academy?
Otherwise... why not just bring the two of them together and have some fun?
Huo Zhixing raised an eyebrow and gave a meaningful smile.
...
After waiting outside the studio for five days, Fu Qingyan finally met Tang Yilan.
Tang Yilan was startled by her extremely enthusiastic hug and exaggerated makeup, and the perfume scent seemed to penetrate her lungs.
Tang Yilan coughed several times, then forced a smile and pushed her away.
"Director Tang!" Fu Qingyan twisted her body like a pretzel and shoved a copy of the documents in her hand into her hand. "Director Tang, this is my resume, and it also contains information about the movies I've acted in!"
"good……"
Tang Yilan could only manage a forced smile.
Such information has already taken up most of her inbox.
"Director Tang," Fu Qingyan said with a smile, "have we met somewhere before? Otherwise, why do I feel so close to you the moment I see you, like we've known each other forever?"
"Oh, really?" Tang Yilan said casually. "If you think I look familiar, you should have seen me on TV. I've attended several international film festivals."
Fu Qingyan's upturned lips stiffened, and she stopped speaking.
“Miss Fu,” Tang Yilan asked her directly, “just say what’s on your mind, I’m quite busy with work.”
"I……"
Fu Qingyan licked her lips and smiled charmingly, "Director Tang, I heard you were studying here, so I came to visit you!"
"So that means there's nothing important?" Tang Yilan smiled. "Then I'll go back and edit the video."
"Why!"
When Fu Qingyan saw that she was about to leave, she became anxious and quickly stepped forward to stop her.
"Director Tang, I need to speak with you!"
Tang Yilan crossed her arms and watched her quietly.
"I just wanted to ask, Director Tang, when will your new film start shooting?"
"This is pending."
"I know this is another art film, and I also know that Director Tang won't continue to use Wenwen as the female lead, and wants to give newcomers a chance..."
Tang Yilan frowned slightly.
“So I think…” Fu Qingyan tossed her long hair, “Instead of giving this opportunity to outsiders, it’s better to give it to one of our own, right, Director Tang?”
Tang Yilan looked her up and down.
She seems to have an inflated sense of self-importance, as if the role of the female lead is absolutely hers.
To be fair, Fu Qingyan is not bad-looking, but her biggest flaw as an actress is that she lacks distinctiveness.
Even if the camera is right up to her face and shooting hard, after a movie, the audience still can't remember what she looks like.
What's the point of this?
Tang Yilan cleared her throat and looked at her politely with a smile, "Ms. Fu, you must have some misunderstanding. I haven't even finished writing the script for this movie yet, how could I so easily decide on the male and female leads?"
"If you really want to play a certain role, that's fine too. We'll proceed normally. I'll let you audition, but whether you get the role depends on your own abilities!"
"Yilan!" Fu Qingyan stepped forward and took her arm. "If you agree, I can act; if you don't agree, I can't act! It's that simple."
Tang Yilan lost her patience and pushed her hand away.
"Miss Fu, there are no shortcuts here. Please leave."
"Hey, you..."
Tang Yilan turned and went into the studio, while Fu Qingyan rolled her eyes at her retreating figure several times.
"What is that!" she muttered under her breath, "It's just a dog that the Fu family keeps..."
"What did you say?!"
Tang Yilan suddenly leaned out, glaring angrily.
Fu Qingyan froze, her face flushing red and then turning pale. She wanted to explain, but her lips moved a few times without her being able to utter a single word.
I misspoke just now, how did she hear it!
“Miss Fu,” Tang Yilan sneered, “have you always spoken so disrespectfully?”
Fu Qingyan panicked a little. Tang Yilan had a somewhat boyish air about him, and when he wasn't smiling, he appeared even colder and more dignified.
“Miss Fu, since we’ve come this far, let’s just say what we mean and stop holding back.”
Tang Yilan raised her hand to touch the potted plant next to her, a faint smile on her face.
"You think I'm the one who won't let you act?"
"What?" Fu Qingyan was taken aback.
"Actually, this is what the investors want!" Tang Yilan deliberately emphasized the word "investors".
"Although I made the casting decisions, I can't ignore the investors' opinions. Now someone has invested a large sum of money in my film, with the only condition being that you are not allowed to play any role!"
"Fu Qingyan." Tang Yilan patted her shoulder as she brushed past her, sneering, "You'd better think carefully about who the Fu family's dog really is!"
"you……"
Fu Qingyan almost couldn't catch her breath.
Tang Yilan turned and walked into the studio, only to hear Fu Qingyan shouting angrily in the corridor: "Tell me, which investor is it! Despicable, shameless!"
