Xiao Qifeng looked up at Lu Wanzheng, his expression calm and his eyes clear. Seeing the smile on Lu Wanzheng's face made people feel comfortable, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
Yao Zijun calmed herself down and began to seriously tell what she wanted to say.
Do you know Xiang Yan?
Upon hearing this name, Lu Wanzheng was stunned. There should be no one in the entertainment industry who didn't know Xiang Yan.
Zhong Yunyue's debut film was Xiang Yan's movie. After filming his movie, Zhong Yunyue became an instant star. The two collaborated many times, and Zhong Yunyue became a film emperor because of his work.
It can be said that Zhong Yunyue's current achievements are inseparable from Xiang Yan, and Xiang Yan's works have also become very popular because of Zhong Yunyue.
In the entertainment industry, it can be said that Xiang Yan made Zhong Yunyue, and Zhong Yunyue made Xiang Yan. The two have a very good relationship. It is rumored that as long as Xiang Yan has a good script, Zhong Yunyue is the first person he will consider for the male lead.
Xiang Yan once said that Zhong Yunyue is the most talented actor he has ever met. He has a wide range of roles and there is basically no role that he cannot handle. Just from this one sentence, you can tell how good Zhong Yunyue's acting skills are.
Zhong Yunyue also said that Xiang Yan's script was very good, the characters were well-developed and distinct, and he was serious about his work during filming. If there was anything he was not satisfied with, he would keep reshooting until he got a scene he was satisfied with. In this respect, Xiang Yan was much stricter than Xiao Wang.
Most importantly, Xiang Yan is not old, a few years younger than Zhong Yunyue, and has already won several Best Director awards, making him one of the most sought-after directors in China.
“I know him.” Lu Wanzheng’s face became more serious, which was a sign of respect for Xiang Yan. However, she was very curious about what Yao Zijun’s mention of him had to do with her. Such a big director couldn’t possibly be asking her to make a movie, could he? Her movie hadn’t been released yet, and the probability of Xiang Yan asking her was extremely low.
[I wonder who Lu Wanzheng is talking to on the phone. Weren't they just talking about good things? Why did her expression suddenly become so serious?]
[Lu Wanzheng's hearing must be faulty. Given her current public image of being universally hated, who would be so easily frightened as to seek her out? Perhaps they're simply not afraid of being insulted enough?]
[Don't rush, let's see what she says next.]
Yao Zijun was on her way home. She was driving with Bluetooth earphones in her ears. A sliver of moon peeked out from the sky, like a squeezing-out nearsighted eye.
She decided not to keep Lu Wanzheng in suspense any longer and told her directly about the good news.
"Xiang Yan is currently planning a movie, a suspense film called 'I Saw Another You.' Xiang Yan hasn't found a good actress yet. I originally wanted you to audition, but after what happened to you, even if your acting skills are up to par, they probably won't approach you."
Unexpectedly, Xiang Yan just called me, saying he wants you to play the female lead. I asked about it, and it seems the role is quite challenging. The female lead, Wei Wan, has a dual personality, meaning you'll be playing two roles. It's a very demanding task.
Lu Wanzheng was shocked after hearing Yao Zijun's long string of words. No way, he just casually mentioned it and it came true? He really cast her as the female lead?
"Sister Yao, did I hear that right?" Lu Wanzheng asked uncertainly, as she might have been hallucinating.
Yao Zijun knew that Lu Wanzheng wouldn't believe it, after all, she hadn't believed it at first either.
"You heard me right. Xiang Yan is aiming for awards for this movie, so he really values this script."
Hearing this, Lu Wanzheng was even more incredulous. "How did Xiang Yan find me, an actress who doesn't have a single representative work, for such an important script?"
[Xiang Yan? That Best Director?]
[Is Lu Wanzheng joking? She's definitely trying to ride the wave of popularity!]
[It's the same old trick. Lu Wanzheng just tries to ride on whoever's popularity she's riding. It's disgusting. Why isn't she forgotten?]
Lu Wanzheng's acting is truly awkward; her face looks stiff.
"I don't know either. Maybe they don't want your talent to be wasted," Yao Zijun said with a smile. Otherwise, why would she say that Lu Wanzheng had some incredible luck to get such a big script?
Lu Wanzheng sighed softly. Since Xiang Yan had given her this task, she would naturally take it seriously.
“By the way, since they’re aiming for the award, there’s a high chance they’ll cast Zhong Yunyue as the male lead. Do you think that’s possible…” Yao Zijun suddenly thought of something. Given Zhong Yunyue’s relationship with Xiang Yan, he must have known about this a long time ago.
Lu Wanzheng and Xiang Yan had absolutely no connection; their only common ground was Zhong Yunyue.
She now has a bold idea.
Since Yao Zijun had said that, Lu Wanzheng naturally understood what she meant. "If that's the case, then wouldn't we owe her a huge favor? I'll go ask her about it later."
“Okay,” Yao Zijun said, seeing that the red light ahead had turned green but the car in front of her was still not moving. She honked her horn.
The sound of a horn blaring reached Lu Wanzheng's ears through her phone. "Sister Yao, you're only getting home now?"
"Yes, I've been dealing with your matter all day. With Mr. Xu's help, we've obtained the three surveillance cameras."
Because they found the surveillance video, she and Xiaohua spent more than an hour watching the video and figuring out how to respond.
Right now, Xiaohua is so tired that she has fallen asleep in the passenger seat.
Inside the kitchen, the lights were as bright as day. Lu Wanzheng thought for a moment and then lowered her beautiful eyes. "Sister Yao, let's resolve this matter quickly."
This matter was nothing to her, but after listening to Mo Yushan's words, she realized that she had been selfish. Being insulted by haters was not a big deal to her, but it was a big deal to her fans.
They always believed in their innocence, and their belief compelled her to stop being selfish and to stand up for her fans.
Most importantly, her fans can criticize the haters, and the haters can criticize her fans in return. Given her current fame, she definitely has fewer fans than the haters, and she doesn't want her fans to be criticized.
"Didn't you say this wasn't urgent? Why are you suddenly demanding it be resolved quickly?"
The bright lights shone on her face, making her profile particularly dazzling. "Because there's a girl who's always defended me in front of my haters, I can't let her down."
"Tsk tsk tsk, I never thought that it would be your fans who would change you. I thought you didn't care about haters or fans, and just wanted to focus on making movies." Yao Zijun chuckled as the car drove on through the heavy twilight.
"That was my initial thought, but after getting close to the fan and learning what she was thinking, I feel we should deal with this matter as soon as possible." Lu Wanzheng's eyes darkened; the war between her and Wang Xiyou shouldn't involve her fans.
