Yi Yu and Chu Tang both looked at Wen Xi with confusion in their eyes.
"A ready-made candidate?"
"Who is it?"
"Sister Yingying."
Wen Xi pointed at Ren Ying who was filming in the studio.
She plays the third female role in the drama, and also plays several supporting roles, one of which is a woman disguised as a man.
Although he hasn't had any roles to perform for several years, his acting skills have not become rusty. He is a natural born actor and has been blessed by God.
"When it comes to the youngest Best Actress, Lai Zhizhi is nothing compared to her. Sister Yingying is the most worthy of the title. Moreover, she has won all the major domestic film and television awards before she's even 30. Who else in China can compare to her?"
"Yeah, why didn't I think of that!" Chu Tang slapped his head.
"But Ren Ying's age..."
Yi Yu was still a little hesitant.
The heroine in the play is only in her early 20s, while Ren Ying is 28 and almost 30.
This is the reality in the entertainment industry. Many male actors become more popular as they get older, but many female actors at this age can only play the role of elders...
However, after seeing Ren Ying trying on makeup, Yi Yu put aside his concerns and stopped hesitating.
Ren Ying has a round face and does not look old. Coupled with the right makeup, she looks exactly like the heroine in the book. Her acting skills are really amazing. Looking at the entire industry, there is probably no one more suitable than her. However, many scenes had to be reshot, and she had to find another third female role to replace her. Fortunately, the filming started not long ago, so it can be regarded as a timely stop-loss.
Yi Yu went to Lai Zhizhi's dressing room to find her agent to terminate the contract.
The agent refused to agree: "Why? You are in breach of contract!"
"You were the first to fail to fulfill your contract."
"Where did we break our promise? We already said we'd come back to film after we're healed. If you're anxious, we can still continue filming despite our injuries, but we'll just give us some extra money. Doctors and recovery costs money, right? We've already compromised so much, what else do you want?"
Yi Yu looked at the tantrum-ridden agent coldly: "A sprained ankle requires three to five months of treatment? 20 million for an injury?"
"Is there a problem? My Zhizhi is the newly crowned Best Actress, a popular young actress, and a traffic star. Even a single strand of her hair is worshipped by her fans, let alone injuring her feet!"
"Really? It's so precious. Our temple is small and can't accommodate such a huge Buddha like yours."
"What are you talking about! Do you know how many collaborations our Zhizhi turned down and how much she sacrificed just to take on this crappy show of yours? You're trying to breach the contract now, but no way! Not only is it impossible, there's no way! Unless you pay us three times the liquidated damages as per the contract, otherwise our company will sue your crew to the bitter end!"
"Okay, I'll stick with you to the end. Lai Zhizhi was injured while resting at home. It's not considered a work-related injury. He wasn't seriously injured, but he deliberately failed to perform his contract. Whose fault is it? I believe the judge will make a fair judgment." Yi Yu said no more and got up to leave.
The agent was furious: "Okay, Yi Yu, you really want to break up, right? I'm telling you, you'll definitely regret it!"
Seeing that Yi Yu was not intimidated and left without hesitation, Lai Zhizhi became a little anxious. He grabbed his agent's hand and said, "Brother Fan, didn't you say they would compromise? But now..."
"What a clueless bunch! A popular young actress shouldn't be picking up a washed-up actress. They must be crazy!"
Seeing Yi Yu and the others walking towards Ren Ying who had just finished filming, the agent immediately realized their plan and became very angry.
"So what should we do now?"
"It's okay!" The agent put out the cigarette butt and threw it on the ground, saying nonchalantly, "If I can't stay here, I'll find another place. President Wen has agreed. If things really get to the point of terminating the contract here, I can still go to her place."
