Bai Qianmo returned to Fansheng and went straight to Su Peishan's office.
But as soon as I stepped outside, I heard arguing coming from inside.
“Ma Weimin, the movie ‘X Agent’ has been in talks with Qian Mo to play the female lead. Today, several major online marketing accounts are spreading rumors that Cai Minmin will play the female lead in this movie. These marketing accounts are all backed by Fansheng, and now they are all being operated by your department. Tell me, did you do this?”
Faced with Su Peishan's questioning, Ma Weimin chuckled coldly.
"Director Su, while Bai Qianmo was hospitalized for the past few months, 'Agent X' had already started looking for a suitable female lead. It was Bai Qianmo who missed out on the opportunity. The film's director just happened to have his eye on Cai Minmin, so he's been in talks with Minmin about taking on the lead role these past few days. Marketing accounts are also promoting Minmin. Every company does this kind of thing, right? You're a well-known agent in the industry, and you control several big V accounts. Don't tell me you don't know what it means to create hype in advance?"
Su Peishan gave a cold laugh.
"You're really shameless. You and Cai Minmin are really determined to take advantage of Qianmo's resources, using underhanded tactics to steal them. Haha, Ma Weimin, do you really think Cai Minmin can replace Qianmo? Ever since Cai Minmin became popular, she's been buying articles saying she's like Qianmo, trying to ride on her coattails. Now she wants to steal Qianmo's resources. Let me tell you, as long as Bai Qianmo is in this industry, Cai Minmin will never surpass her."
Su Peishan spoke with considerable confidence.
"Hehe, I've been an agent for eight years and I've never made a mistake. There are many outstanding female celebrities, but those who can truly stay popular for a long time are not just beautiful. Bai Qianmo has something that Cai Minmin doesn't have, something that Cai Minmin can never imitate in her entire life."
Outside the door, Bai Qianmo was somewhat moved when she heard Su Peishan's words.
She had always been skeptical about why she had entered this industry in the first place.
Compared to the profits in the financial industry, the salary in the entertainment industry is nothing to her.
But at this moment, hearing Su Peishan's trust in her so much, Bai Qianmo suddenly had the desire to persevere.
He reached out and pushed open the door, then went inside.
The two people inside the room looked at her at the same time.
When Ma Weimin met Bai Qianmo, he guessed that she had probably overheard his conversation with Su Peishan, and he felt somewhat guilty.
"Qianmo, you've come at the right time. Your manager has been arguing with me nonstop since early this morning. You should try to persuade her. We have so many artists at Fansheng Entertainment, and resources are limited. It's definitely the case that whoever is popular will get better resources. Although you were quite popular in the industry before, you haven't had any works in the past few months. You disappeared for two or three months without explanation, and all the endorsements that were supposed to work with you have terminated their contracts. The company has paid a lot in breach of contract fees because of you. As the saying goes, don't take on a job you're not qualified for. You should take on some outside work for now. After all, as the CEO of the company, you have a lot of things to do. It's more appropriate to leave things like filming and endorsements to other artists in the company."
After saying that, Ma Weimin smiled smugly.
“I just heard from Director Su that ‘Agent X’ had contacted you several times before, but you were unavailable because you were filming ‘The Legend of 1900’. Now the production team and director agree that Minmin is more suitable for the role, so we are currently in contact with ‘Agent X’. Once Minmin secures this role, if you really want to act in this drama, I will try my best to help you get the fourth or fifth female lead.”
Bai Qianmo glanced at Ma Weimin silently.
"Isn't Mr. Ma afraid that I'll steal the spotlight from Cai Minmin, the female lead?"
The smile on Ma Weimin's lips twitched instantly.
The controversy surrounding "The Phoenix's Journey" at that time is still fresh in my mind.
Bai Qianmo, through her role as the fourth female lead Nie Wuxin, completely overshadowed Bai Xiruo, the female lead. Later on, because Bai Qianmo's portrayal of Nie Wuxin was so brilliant, many fans cried out online, demanding that the production team let Nie Wuxin and the male lead end up together.
However, the character played by Bai Xiruo, who is the female lead, was criticized for being a mistress who took over her husband's position.
Ma Weimin had also seen Bai Qianmo's works.
Although she only filmed one movie a year, "The Legend of the Phoenix" and "Green Fruit," and played the younger version of the female lead in the movie "The Legend of 1900," which has not yet been released, her acting skills have already reached a high level of perfection, judging from the few works she has acted in.
It's fair to say that such skillful and natural acting is truly a gift from God.
The idea of getting Bai Qianmo the fourth or fifth female lead role was just a ploy to humiliate her.
Hmph, if Cai Minmin wins the "X Agent" award, she absolutely cannot let Bai Qianmo leech off her screen time.
"The male lead of 'Agent X' is said to be James Terren, the newly crowned Oscar winner from the United States. I heard that he is very picky about the acting skills of the actresses who act opposite him. If Cai Minmin really gets the audition for this movie, Mr. Ma, I suggest you let her hone her acting skills beforehand. After all, every second on the big screen must be perfect."
This is clearly a mockery of Cai Minmin's acting skills.
Ma Weimin's lips were pursed, his heart burning with anger, but he could only glare at Bai Qianmo without saying a word.
After a moment of silence, he finally managed to squeeze out a sentence through gritted teeth.
"Thank you for your kind reminder, Mr. Bai. However, I am very optimistic about Cai Minmin's potential in acting, so you don't need to worry too much about that. If there's nothing else, I'll get back to work. Recently, all the artists under my management have received some good resources, and I'm about to have a last-minute meeting with them today. I won't disturb you any longer."
After saying that, Ma Weimin turned and left with a triumphant smile, as if he had won.
The door closed, and Su Peishan stood up angrily from her chair, picked up the water glass on her desk, and went to the water dispenser to fill a glass with cold water.
He gulped down the entire glass of cold water.
This seemed to extinguish some of the anger that was building up in his chest.
"Look at how smug this pig-headed villain is. More than half of the resources he has were taken from me while you were in a coma. Now he even wants to swallow the movie 'Agent X' whole. Doesn't he fear that he'll die from overeating?"
Bai Qianmo remained silent, deep in thought.
Su Peishan glared at her.
"Qianmo, I have to get the movie 'Agent X' for you. I've read the script, and it's definitely a great opportunity to make a name for yourself internationally. Cai Minmin only got the audition slot for you. With your acting skills and qualifications, you have no problem getting the script."
Bai Qianmo appeared very calm and composed.
"Don't rush. Ma Weimin's eagerness for quick success may not be a good thing. As the saying goes, those who are not virtuous enough for their position will surely suffer disaster. With Cai Minmin's acting skills, even if she gets the script, she can't carry this movie."
What are your plans?
Bai Qianmo smiled slightly.
"Find a way to get me an audition for the second female lead. Leave everything else to me."
