The day before, Xu Mei agreed to be Cao Shao's girlfriend, and the next day, news about her joining the Hunan-Taiwan and Taiwan-Treasure Island co-production and playing the female lead was seen everywhere.
In addition to topping the weekly album sales championship, Xu Mei is in the limelight and no one would doubt that she is a rookie king who came from a talent show.
There were music critics who criticized Li Mengjiao’s album before, but now they are all as quiet as chickens.
Being willing to criticize Li Mengjiao shows that Li Mengjiao is still worth criticizing. Only when she doesn’t get any news coverage does she really get banned.
What made Yuan Fenghui particularly annoyed was that she had been in contact with the Rongcheng Fire Department and wanted to make Li Mengjiao a fire ambassador. The matter had already made some progress, but suddenly there were a lot of bad comments about Li Mengjiao, and the negotiations were completely stalled!
"Playing the female lead? You're deceiving yourself!"
Yuan Fenghui threw away the pen in his hand and sneered.
Unless it's a drama that's produced with their own money like Li Mengjiao, Taiwan won't use a mainland female newcomer to play the female lead. Mr. Guan promoted Xu Mei as playing two female leads, but the news in Taiwan clearly stated that Xu Mei's ranking was the second female lead... The real female lead is someone else, who is popular in Taiwan. This year, she also starred in a mainland ancient idol drama adapted from a game, which is now being broadcast on TV!
"Teacher Yuan, is this the opportunity that Mr. Guan originally intended to give Meng Jiao?"
"That's right. If Meng Jiao plays the role, I will fight for her to play the female lead role. Xu Mei, huh——"
When Yuan Fenghui sneered, Wen Ying got goosebumps on her hands.
Yuan Fenghui's aura is that of a female devil in the workplace. Anyone who offends Yuan Fenghui should hide and tremble in fear.
"Forget it, let's just shoot our own film. Even if Xu Mei really gets the female lead role, whether she's popular or not has nothing to do with us. Only when Tianjiao's drama has a huge viewership rating can Mengjiao break through Mr. Guan's malicious ban."
It turns out that this was the opportunity that Mr. Guan gave Xu Mei.
Wen Ying said not to worry about Xu Mei, but she was actually not at ease, because she knew that the drama starring Xu Mei was also a hit in the previous life, and it was difficult to argue the winner between it and the script written by screenwriter Zhang. After all, the two dramas were not broadcast in the same year - now many things have changed, Xu Mei has made an official announcement, and the two dramas are likely to overlap in schedule, so Li Mengjiao and Xu Mei are destined to be compared with each other by the outside world!
Yuan Fenghui is a veteran in the industry. Although he does not have the foresight of rebirth, his mind is as quick as Wen Ying's.
It is also produced by the Taiwan production team, with Li Mengjiao playing the female lead and Xu Mei playing the second female lead.
Tianjiao Film and Television funded the filming, so Li Mengjiao can sing the TV soundtrack. Xu Mei starred in a co-production drama, and at most she can get an ending song or something.
No matter how you compare them, Li Mengjiao has the advantage.
The prerequisite is that Tianjiao’s drama must be a huge hit in terms of viewership!
Yuan Fenghui is not only worried about Li Mengjiao's acting skills, but also about the male lead Yun Chen, who is also a newcomer.
Li Mengjiao has been receiving devilish training from her acting teacher throughout the winter vacation, and now it’s time to train Yun Chen as well!
"I hope your recommendation of the male lead won't be a drag."
As soon as Yuan Fenghui finished speaking, Wang Shuang poked his head in the doorway with a playful smile, "Teacher Yuan, I want to borrow Wen Ying for a while."
Wang Shuang has been behaving very well these past two days, and Yuan Fenghui put on a smile when she saw him:
"What does it have to do with me if you need to call her? She's not my subordinate, and you even have to use the word 'borrow'."
When the script was revised, Wen Ying's screenwriting work was completed.
Now Wen Ying is still willing to come to Tianjiao purely out of friendship. Because the script was written by Zhang Guangzhen, Wen Ying did secondary creation. She can help the two male and female protagonists who have no acting experience to understand the script faster and better. In fact, Wen Ying is not a formal employee hired by Tianjiao, and Yuan Fenghui cannot restrict her.
Li Mengjiao and Yun Chen were much more familiar with each other than yesterday. They gathered together to study the script and memorize the lines, occasionally stumbling over a scene. They both had the awkwardness of newcomers, but their attitude was very professional.
But now there is one more person in the rest area, no wonder Wang Shuang called Wen Ying over.
Wen Ying trotted over and asked, "Xie Qian, why are you here?"
Xie Qian was not interested in filming and had never come to Tianjiao. Wen Ying was busy revising the script and had not seen Xie Qian for several days. Even though they had a mobile phone to contact him, they only exchanged a few text messages every day.
Seeing Xie Qian, Wen Ying felt happy but also a little guilty. She carefully recalled whether she had been slacking off in her studies recently.
She had already finished her winter vacation homework.
She has finished reviewing the books for the first semester of her freshman year in high school.
Xie Qian asked her to preview the course content for next semester...her progress was a bit slow.
Wen Ying's face changed. She had been so busy these days that she almost forgot the start of school. Was Xie Qian here to check on her learning progress?
Wen Ying's brisk footsteps suddenly became heavy, and she went from jogging to moving.
Xie Qian watched her go from running to walking, his eyes brightening and then dimming. He couldn't help but want to laugh, but he pretended to be serious:
"Why, I can't come?"
"That's not what I meant—"
The sharp-tongued screenwriter Wen hesitated, his eyes wandering, not daring to look Xie Qian in the eye.
On the other side, Yun Chen stopped talking and asked Li Mengjiao in a low voice: "Is this also a new employee in your company?"
I never thought a shell company like Tianjiao could be so skilled at deception and brainwashing, even signing such a talented newcomer. Yun Chen quickly ran through the popular idol actors of the past two years and found that they were all different from the young man named Xie Qian. With such a face and temperament, he didn't need any singing or acting skills. He was pleasing to the eye even if he didn't say a single line on the screen.
Since there are newcomers like this, why doesn’t this drama use them?
Yes, with Xie Qian around, the audience may not notice the heroine played by Li Mengjiao, because Xie Qian's presence is too prominent.
Yun Chen felt complicated for a moment.
He has been treated preferentially because of his appearance since he was a child, and he hopes that others can put aside the influence of his appearance and see his inner self.
After really meeting someone who looked better than him, Yun Chen still started to compare himself with others.
It turns out that he is not a saint after all!
Li Mengjiao gave Yun Chen a strange look, "Why do you have such an idea? He is Xie Qian, Tianjiao can't sign him."
Li Mengjiao herself wants to enter the entertainment industry and doesn't look down on it, but she also thinks it's a waste for Xie Qian to join. The entertainment industry should be left to the poor students. The top students have more choices. Don't come to the entertainment industry and compete with the poor students for food!
Not a newcomer.
Yun Chen took a closer look and noticed Wen Ying's completely different attitude towards Xie Qian. He couldn't help but smile knowingly: "Screenwriter Wen and this classmate Xie are dating, right?"
“…”
Li Mengjiao looked at Yun Chen in shock.
Are Wen Ying and Xie Qian dating?!
No way, these two people are so bold. If Wen Ying’s family finds out, both Wen Ying and Xie Qian will be in danger!
"Don't talk nonsense, they are just good friends. It's different here than in Taiwan. High school students falling in love is called puppy love, and parents and teachers are against it."
While Li Mengjiao was trying to convince herself that Wen Ying and Xie Qian were just good friends, she also remembered the difference in how Wen Ying treated Xie Qian, and she felt a little lacking in confidence when she refuted Yun Chen.
