Su Mei felt that her aura was too powerful, and she couldn't help but tremble.
If she were Yao Ge's enemy, she would probably have been killed several times over.
How can I help?
Tang Yaoyao smiled and said, "Call Chen Chunqiu."
"Now?"
Tang Yaoyao licked her lips: "Yes, right now. Then, you tell her that my requirements are not low. I want a 50 million yuan fee and I will definitely give her a perfect leading lady."
Upon hearing this, Su Mei's tense heart immediately relaxed, and she laughed out loud: "He's probably going to vomit three liters of blood."
"Go ahead and do as I say."
Su Mei nodded, then dialed Chen Chunqiu's number and put it on speakerphone.
After only two rings, Chen Chunqiu answered the phone: "Hello, Miss Su."
Su Mei thought that Chen Chunqiu was also waiting for her call.
After all, Brother Yao had met him before, and that night must have left a very deep impression on him. Therefore, if the price and conditions were right, he would definitely still choose Brother Yao.
Unfortunately, Yao-ge didn't fancy her.
Su Mei smiled, her mature and sophisticated voice shining through: "Director Chen, hello. I also think your script is particularly suitable for Yao Yao. I really hope we can work together. Since that's the case, let's not beat around the bush. We are very sincere. If Director Chen has a fee of 50 million, Yao Yao will naturally give you the most outstanding female lead."
Chen Chunqiu listened to the first part and thought that the matter was finally settled.
He was completely stunned when he heard what followed.
Is this what you call sincerity?!
He was willing to spend 50 million to find a top-tier female celebrity. How could he possibly waste so much money on her?
His expression immediately changed.
After all, he's a big director. Thinking that Tang Yaoyao might become a big star in the future, he'll probably give her some leeway.
He smiled, but his voice was serious: "Ms. Su, I'll be frank, a fee of 50 million is simply not feasible for me."
Su Mei smiled and said, "That's a real pity. It seems I'll have to work with Director Chen again in the future."
"good."
Goodbye, Director Chen.
Su Mei hung up the phone and laughed: "Hahaha, Brother Yao, I reckon Chen Chunqiu's face is even stinkier than athlete's foot."
Tang Yaoyao curled her lips into a playful smile.
After a while, Su Mei said, "Now that you've completely severed ties with him, what are you planning to do next?"
"It's not entirely thorough."
"Huh?" Su Mei asked, puzzled.
Tang Yaoyao's eyes deepened, and with a slight flick of her finger, she found Xu Wei's phone number and dialed it directly.
He didn't answer the phone after it rang for a long time.
This surprised Su Mei, after all, the Yao Ge she remembered didn't have such good patience.
Finally, Xu Wei answered the phone: "Hello, who is this?"
Tang Yaoyao's heart stirred, and she couldn't help but think of his dedication over the past three years. She whispered, "Brother Xu."
Su Mei, who was standing to the side, was startled and looked at her in disbelief.
This was probably the first time in all the time we'd known each other that I'd heard her call a man in such a gentle voice.
She'd heard "Brother Xiao," "Brother Jiang," and many other brothers so many times that her tone was always affected and fake.
But this "Brother Xu" was different.
She couldn't quite put her finger on what was different.
Xu Wei was stunned for a while before he reacted: "Is it Miss Tang?"
Tang Yaoyao replied, "I am Tang Yaoyao."
"Have you thought it through?" Xu Wei's voice became somewhat tense.
Tang Yaoyao's voice gradually turned dejected as she pursed her lips: "Yes, I've thought it over. I just..."
"What happened?"
"Director Chen probably still doesn't really want to use me because of what happened before. He called and said he's changing the female lead. From now on, I won't have the opportunity to work with you guys anymore," Tang Yaoyao said, sounding very downcast.
"How could this happen..." Xu Wei seemed not to have expected this outcome.
"Brother Xu, Director Chen will probably blacklist me. I won't be able to work in the entertainment industry anymore. Thank you for what happened three years ago. If it weren't for you, this day would have come long ago." Tang Yaoyao said sincerely.
Xu Wei was somewhat shocked: "So you knew all along?"
Tang Yaoyao smiled and said, "How could I not know about what happened? I just didn't want to face it."
Xu Wei remained silent.
Tang Yaoyao added, "You are very talented. Over the years, you have done so much for him. If possible, live for yourself."
"you……"
"Brother Xu, may you have a peaceful and happy life," Tang Yaoyao interrupted him.
"……good."
Then, I hung up the phone.
Su Mei could tell from her sincerity, but she also heard her nonsense: "Brother Yao, what are you doing..."
“They must become enemies.” Tang Yaoyao looked at her with a sharp glint in her eyes.
Su Mei's heart skipped a beat, but she didn't ask any more questions.
...
After hanging up the phone, Xu Wei was unable to come to his senses for a long time.
He never expected that after three years of his efforts, his uncle would still go back on his word.
Xu Wei clenched his fists. He really wanted to confront Chen Chunqiu, but it would be pointless. He could only remain silent and wait for an opportunity.
At this moment, Chen Chunqiu returned, his face flushed and his eyes filled with anger.
"uncle."
Chen Chunqiu kicked the coffee table hard: "That Tang Yaoyao, she doesn't know what's good for her!"
Xu Wei's eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't say a word.
Chen Chunqiu cursed and swore: "I asked her to be the female lead, and her demands were absolutely outrageous, fifty million! Xu Wei, how can a washed-up actress like her have the nerve to ask for so much money?"
Xu Wei sneered inwardly.
To shut him up, I'll just tear off the mask and fabricate a lie to tell him that Tang Yaoyao's demands were excessive.
Sure enough, this was Chen Chunqiu's usual tactic.
"She still thinks she's the queen of variety shows, making tens of millions just by appearing on a show? She's never made any good works, and I don't know where she got the right to ask me for 50 million."
Chen Chunqiu grew angrier as he spoke, coldly staring at Xu Wei: "This is the kind of person you've set your sights on? You really think you're a treasure. What's so great about you besides your face and your body?"
Xu Wei remained calm and asked him, "Did she refuse?"
"If you were offered a 50 million yuan salary, would you accept it?"
At first, he thought that if she asked for a fee of ten million, the matter would be settled. Who knew she would take him so seriously?
Chen Chunqiu frowned: "From now on, don't mention this woman in front of me."
He was really furious, but had nowhere to vent his anger.
Tang Yaoyao's willingness to ask for this fee proves that she doesn't take this big director seriously at all.
How could I not be angry?
Sure enough, he's better suited to finding some newcomers; they're easier to manage.
Xu Wei asked calmly, "Since the negotiations broke down, does Uncle have a new candidate in mind?"
