After realizing that she had been bullied by the Fu family, Jiang Wanwan immediately sought out the Shen family to join forces and hand over the Fu family to them.
As a friend, she's done all this for me, and now she's just asking me to use my talents to film a movie, and as the female lead no less, so of course Wen Yan wouldn't refuse.
She readily agreed: "Okay. But... I have no objections, but will the director and producer approve of me?"
"What do you think?" Jiang Wanwan chuckled. "You didn't even have an agent before, and you didn't really manage your career properly. You probably don't know your market value now. They'd be more than happy to have you save the day."
"Let's leave it at that then."
"Okay, I'm really running out of time. My agent is in the car; I'll have her come over and we can talk in detail. I have to go now."
"Have some water first, you've talked so much." As she spoke, Wen Yan handed Jiang Wanwan an open bottle of water. "It felt like you were in a war, racing against time."
"Almost. I'll treat you to dinner when I get back."
Jiang Wanwan didn't linger; she finished her water and immediately stood up.
Wen Yan immediately followed in her footsteps.
When they reached the villa entrance, Wen Yan suddenly said to Jiang Wanwan, "Don't worry, your grandfather will definitely be alright. Trust me, and trust yourself."
In the novel, Jiang Wanwan has many aliases. Although her grandfather was terminally ill, he was eventually brought back to life by her superb traditional Chinese medicine skills.
That's why Wen Yan was so certain: "Don't rush on the road, make sure you stay safe."
Jiang Wanwan felt that Wen Yan was speaking a little strangely today, but she could sense Wen Yan's sincerity.
She smiled at Wen Yan and said, "See you later."
Soon, Jiang Wanwan's agent got out of the car, while Jiang Wanwan drove herself towards the airport.
Wen Yan also welcomed her agent into the room.
"Sister Gao, please come in."
After speaking with Jiang Wanwan's agent, Wen Yan immediately contacted Qin Yulong.
After discussing it, Wen Yan quickly gave her answer.
And so, Wen Yan, who had originally planned to rest and diligently write her script at home, soon returned to the set.
-
Jiang Wanwan had to withdraw from the filming due to unforeseen circumstances, and Wen Yan seamlessly joined the crew. In addition, the filming period was not long, and there were not many scenes that needed to be reshot. Wen Yan's arrival should have been a happy event for everyone.
But the male lead's fans weren't having it.
The moment the news of Wen Yan replacing Jiang Wanwan spread, fans of the male lead, Xu Letian, started typing away on their keyboards.
'Why is it Wen Yan again? Why is she everywhere? Aren't she and Jiang Wanwan good friends? Why is she even stealing her best friend's resources?'
"Because they're just fake friends. There's no such thing as true sisterhood in the entertainment industry; it's all just an act."
"What makes this woman so special? She's not as famous as Jiang Wanwan. This is a leading lady drama, and she expects us to play supporting roles for her? Does she deserve it? Isn't this lowering our standards?"
"Exactly! If Jiang Wanwan hadn't been cast as the female lead, Tiantian wouldn't have taken this role at all. The production team wouldn't have done this on purpose, would they? Did they lure Tiantian in first, then replace her with Jiang Wanwan?"
'Wow, isn't this a clear indication that they're determined to promote Wen Yan?'
"No, we can't let Wen Yan be the female lead in this drama. We've all left messages on the production team's account, demanding that Wen Yan be replaced. I think several top actresses in the industry are suitable for the role, and their status matches our Tian Tian perfectly."
Xu Letian does have quite a few fans. If Shen Jinghe is the top male actor of his age in the industry, then Xu Letian belongs to the third tier, which is second only to Shen Jinghe.
In the last two years in particular, he has produced two hit dramas, which have maintained high popularity.
His fans said that changing the female lead was no joke, because a similar thing had happened before.
Because fans were dissatisfied, the production team was forced to replace the actor just before filming began.
This time, these crazy fans are planning to use the same trick again.
The entertainment industry is neither small nor large, and with no major news recently, the topic of changing the female lead in "The Legend of Chang'an" quickly became a trending topic.
When Wen Yan received this news, Jiang Wanwan's agent had already issued a clarification.
She made her point very clearly in her social media post.
She said that Jiang Wanwan withdrew from the role for personal reasons, and that Wen Yan was brought in to fill in, and expressed her gratitude to Wen Yan.
Jiang Wanwan's fans also accepted this explanation, because several of her big fans ran into her on the day she hurriedly left the country. When someone asked her if she was going to work, she replied that there was an emergency at home.
Jiang Wanwan's fans felt that it was fine to replace the female lead in "The Legend of Chang'an" with Wen Yan, and the production team also felt it was fine, but Xu Letian's fans felt there was a problem.
Even after Jiang Wanwan's agent clarified the situation, they still wouldn't let it go.
However, Wen Yan had long since become immune to such chaotic sounds.
Since Jiang Wanwan's agent has already made a statement, she doesn't intend to pay any more attention to it.
All she wants to do right now is to make this movie a success.
It's reassuring that Xu Letian seems like a decent person.
During rehearsals, he took the initiative to approach Wen Yan.
"Teacher Wen, let's go over the scene. We discussed the blocking for a long time when we filmed this scene with Teacher Jiang. We filmed it several times before we found the most suitable position. Shall we give it a try?"
"Okay!" Wen Yan rarely refused others' kindness. "I also think this doesn't look like it'll be easy to film. When we're sparring later, you'll be cutting in from behind, right?"
