After the Lantern Festival, Gu Weiwei started working from early morning to late at night.
I dropped Fu Shengying and her mother off at the early childhood education center with their two children early in the morning before rushing to the studio for a meeting with the producer and screenwriter.
Fu Shiyi, as one of the producers, also attended the meeting, but he could only watch them talk non-stop without being able to get a word in edgewise.
Although he has been acting for several years, he has never been particularly enthusiastic about behind-the-scenes work, so he is not particularly proficient in it.
Moreover, all he had to do was ensure that his sister-in-law had sufficient funds and that the filming went smoothly; he didn't concern himself with anything else that wasn't his area of expertise.
The meeting mainly focused on finalizing preparations for filming next month, as well as contacting actors.
"The actors we invited have all made time for the event, and they will be there on time for the launch press conference."
“There are plenty of people who would kill to get this role; only a fool would turn it down,” Fu Shiqin said.
Since the news broke that "Butterfly in the Sea" was going to start filming, many acquaintances in the industry have been trying to curry favor with him, hoping to get a role.
However, his sister-in-law personally selected the actors for each role, and he wouldn't dare to change them even if he had a hundred lives.
"That's true, quite a few actors and agents are pushing people to us," the casting director said with a sigh.
She's been harassed a lot lately, with people trying to bribe her with money and sex, and others using her fame to put pressure on her. She's suffering terribly every day.
Fortunately, with Mrs. Fu and the Third Young Master backing him up, even if he refused, these people wouldn't dare to do anything.
After all, no matter how unwilling they were, they weren't afraid of what would happen to Fu Hanzheng's wife.
Although he was the casting director, he only recommended some actors based on the different roles in the play. The final decision on who would play the role was still made by the director.
The meeting lasted for more than three hours before it ended. Gu Weiwei checked the time and called Mrs. Fu, only to find out that they had already finished their early childhood education class and gone home.
Furthermore, he was told not to rush back, but to go on a date with Fu Hanzheng and return later.
Gu Weiwei thought so too. She was leaving in a few days, so it was important to keep her husband happy.
She explained some details to Qiao Lin and the producer, and seeing that it was almost time, she prepared to leave.
Before the person could leave, a staff member came over and asked.
"Director, Third Young Master, Qiu Ling's agent is here. She says she wants to meet you."
Fu Shiyi and Gu Weiwei exchanged a glance. "Well, another one trying to force someone on us."
"Let her in," Gu Weiwei said, not turning her away.
After all, we're all in the same industry; there's no need to be so ruthless.
The staff member went out and soon returned with Qiu Ling's agent.
"Mrs. Fu, Third Young Master, it's been a long time."
Gu Weiwei smiled faintly, "What is it?"
Qiu Ling's agent chuckled twice, and seeing that the other party was asking so directly, she simply stated her purpose.
"Mrs. Fu, you've worked with Qiu Ling several times, and you're the one who trained her acting skills. Could you consider her again for the role in 'Butterfly in the Sea'? After all, she's an acquaintance..."
"So what if we're acquaintances? I'm her brother-in-law, and I haven't even gotten any roles yet." Fu Shiyi shut the other person up the moment they tried to curry favor.
Given Qiu Ling's status, she definitely wouldn't be playing a supporting role to Ling Jiao, so she must be asking for the lead role.
