The next day, Gu Weiwei had planned to have Qiao Lin attend the opening ceremony of Qin Law Firm in her place.
As a result, before the opening ceremony began, Qin Lu personally came down to invite her again. Since her studio was located in his building, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and make an appearance.
However, seeing Qin Lu talking to someone else, she sneaked downstairs.
"They stayed at your opening ceremony for almost an hour, and you slipped back in ten minutes. You're so careless," Yuan Meng teased, amused by her quick return.
Gu Weiwei returned to her desk and continued drawing the storyboard design for the movie.
Because she's going to Dubai with Fu Hanzheng next week, she needs to work hard this week to complete the storyboard design and finalize the casting for all the roles in the film.
Qiao Lin knocked on the door and placed a document on her desk.
"This is the list of actors who will be auditioning."
Gu Weiwei glanced through it briefly and saw that many young actors from the Chinese film industry were listed.
"So many people?"
"This is after screening. I eliminated some actors with weak acting skills or poor personal conduct to avoid affecting the film's promotion later," Qiao Lin said.
Having been in this industry for a long time, I've seen too many cases where a movie's release was ruined because of a scandal involving the lead actor.
Therefore, he rejected all people who liked to cause trouble and attract negative attention.
However, because of the fame of her directorial work "Half-Awake", they released auditions to select actors, and many people contacted her wanting to audition.
"This arrangement is good, but with so many people, the auditions will have to be scheduled for two days," Gu Weiwei said after flipping through the list.
“Why don’t you act yourself? What’s the point of auditioning?” Yuan Meng interjected.
"I prefer making movies. It's too tiring to direct and act in them myself. I'd rather stay behind the scenes," Gu Weiwei said.
Yuan Meng sighed and said to Qiao Lin.
"Others are twenty years old and still not famous, but she's only twenty and already thinking about retiring behind the scenes. It's infuriating."
Qiao Lin nodded in agreement, but the other person had already become so famous that it was difficult for ordinary people to surpass them.
"You two have time to chat and arrange the auditions for tomorrow and the day after." Gu Weiwei finished looking at the form Qiao Lin had sent and went back to brainstorming storyboards.
Yuan Meng waited until Qiao Lin left before speaking casually.
"Is today Ling Yan's birthday?"
Gu Weiwei thought for a moment, "I think so."
“Her birthday has been all over social media in Country A.” Yuan Meng glanced at her with a smile and said with ill intent, “So we discussed it and decided to send out the big gift package you prepared as well.”
Gu Weiwei nodded as she drew the storyboard design.
"Good idea."
“Ling Yan hasn’t updated her social media accounts for many days. Today, all her fans are talking about her birthday. Since everyone is paying attention to her, let’s change up their posts,” Yuan Meng said.
In a moment, the legendary actress she admires and who wishes her a happy birthday will become a murderer.
Then, things will get interesting.
Gu Weiwei gave a lukewarm response, seemingly not very interested.
If Ling Yan were still alive, she might be interested in following the progress of the matter.
Ling Yan is unlikely to step forward on her own now, and she has no interest in paying attention to something that is completely one-sided and overwhelming.
Besides, she was the one who died at her hands, and no one knew the truth better than her, so there was nothing for her to care about.
