Thirty-three:
The two sides were in a dilemma, and it was hard to back down. In the end, the director tactfully told Fang Yaoxuan's agent that the crew was really grateful to Fang Yaoxuan for coming to the rescue, and was very willing to cooperate with him, but Fang Yaoxuan was a little late. Now the male lead has been found and the contract has been signed. They just experienced Chen Jiyuan's breach of contract, so they don't want to be people without a sense of contract. And the vacant male third role is really not worthy of Fang Yaoxuan's status. They themselves are embarrassed, so they can only cooperate next time.
Although Fang Yaoxuan's agent was shocked that the production team dared to reject their artist, she didn't want Fang Yaoxuan to take this role from the beginning, so she was relieved and conveyed the result to Fang Yaoxuan truthfully.
Fang Yaoxuan was puzzled, "What about the original third male lead? Did he also terminate his contract?"
"That's not the case," the agent answered him, "The current male lead is the actor who originally played the third male lead. The director chose him because he has the best acting skills and looks in the crew, so he was chosen to replace Chen Jiyuan. Because of this, the third male lead role became vacant."
"So, Ji Qingzhou is now the male lead." Fang Yaoxuan said in surprise, "It was a blessing in disguise for him. Chen Jiyuan ran away, and he suddenly got promoted. He's quite lucky."
"Yeah," the agent agreed.
Fang Yaoxuan thought about it. Although he was not satisfied with the third male lead, in order to get in touch with his stand-in and find out what happened, and save his stand-in from the fire pit, he could only say helplessly: "Third male lead is fine. There are not many roles for third male lead in this play. It's just right. Just treat it as a pastime. It won't affect my future roles. You and the director, let's play third male lead."
The agent was stunned when he heard this, looked at him in disbelief, and said with difficulty: "Do you know what you are doing?"
“Yes.”
"You're going to play the third male lead in a web drama, supporting a newcomer who doesn't exist?" The agent felt a slight headache. "Do you think our studio has been in turmoil recently? Aren't you afraid that your fans will find out and tear the studio and me apart?"
"You too, it's about you and the studio, not me."
The manager was speechless. He sat down next to him and asked, "Yao Xuan, why are you doing this? There is always a purpose for filming a movie. For money? To attract fans? For subsequent resources? To raise your status? What can you get from filming this movie? What are you thinking?"
Fang Yaoxuan was too lazy to argue with her. There was no need to let his agent know about his feelings for Ji Qingzhou. "Okay, Sister Sun, it's settled. Just let them let me go and give me a special guest appearance."
Sun Ying had no choice but to go negotiate with the director again. She figured that since she had already played the role, she would definitely be scolded, so she might as well take the opportunity to raise her offer. After all, Fang Yaoxuan was now the poster boy of China Mobile, and if he took part in "A Page of Love Poems", investors would surely come and try.
The director never thought that even after what he said, Fang Yaoxuan would still be willing to participate!
"What? Fang Yaoxuan agreed to play the third male lead?!" Jiang Nan felt that this world was too fantastical. Did their crew have any good luck recently? They could even encounter such a good thing!
The director nodded. "It's just that Fang Yaoxuan's popularity is there, so his offer is relatively high. Sister Jiang, take a look. Either talk to Mr. Chu and ask him to make additional investments."
"If Fang Yaoxuan wants to act, the funding problem won't be so serious. His popularity is there. Even if Mr. Chu doesn't want to, other investors should be willing. But Fang Yaoxuan is so humble that he would rather play the third male lead than act in our drama. I always find it a bit strange. What is he trying to do?"
"I don't know. If he sees the potential of this drama, he should stick to the male lead. Why did he accept the role of the third male so easily? If he doesn't see the potential of this drama, what else in our crew can he be interested in?" the director asked puzzledly.
Jiang Nan didn't know, she thought Fang Yaoxuan's behavior was very strange, too strange. But no matter how strange it was, Fang Yaoxuan's joining was always a good thing, "I'll let Mr. Chu know first, after all, he is our investor now, Fang Yaoxuan's participation is such an important thing, he should also know."
