Chapter 424: Forcing People to Do What Is Difficult



Tian Pengyu handed him the script and said with a smile: "This is the script written by our Third Young Master's girlfriend, Miss Lu. Mr. Qi, I promise you won't be disappointed."

He was not afraid that Director Qi would not accept the role after reading the script. He wanted to give such a good script to the director of his own company. However, Director Qi was specifically requested by Miss Lu, so he could not go against her wishes.

After reading the script, Director Qi also thought it was well-written. More importantly, there is no movie of this type in Hong Kong right now: "The script is good, but the actors?"

If he wanted to use actors from Wanting Film and Television, he would not be willing to take the job as he did not want to ruin his reputation.

Tian Pengyu was somewhat helpless. This was all the result of the Fourth Young Master's behavior. "As for the actors, Miss Lu said she wanted to find handsome men and beautiful women with good acting skills. She wanted to select them through auditions. I advised her against it, but she insisted."

When Lu Jiaxin was in school, she loved watching TV and enjoyed watching Chinese dramas. But after returning to China to work, she no longer liked watching Chinese dramas because they were too irritating to the eyes. This was all caused by the dominance of capital. Now that she is a capitalist, she naturally wants to make a pleasing movie.

Director Qi felt relieved after hearing this and said, "I'll take the script back first. I'd like to have a face-to-face meeting with Miss Lu after I finish reading it."

Manager Tian's words made one thing clear: Miss Lu was the one who made the decision for this movie. Although he was in the entertainment industry, he also knew about the business world. Miss Lu did not rely on men to get to the top, but had real skills.

Tian Pengyu also immediately expressed his opinion that he would coordinate with his company.

Two days later, Director Qi met with Lu Jiaxin. He pointed out that the script had a novel concept, but lacked enough conflict points, making it difficult to arouse the audience's emotions.

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "Director Qi, if you have any ideas, you can just tell me directly. If they are good, I will definitely adopt them."

The two talked for more than three hours, and when they left, Director Qi was all smiles. Lu Jiaxin had already made it clear to him that she would not look at the actors’ fame, but only the right ones, and she would not interfere with how the film was shot. As for the clothes and jewelry for the leading actors, they must be provided by Green Forest and Wufu Jewelry, which was a good thing for the film.

The script and director were finalized, and the next step was to select the actors. Afterwards, Wanting Films published an advertisement to announce the selection of actors for the new film.

In order to avoid being rejected, Director Qi's name was published on the advertisement. Although Director Qi is not very famous now, there are many people who dream of becoming a star, so many people come to sign up.

Lu Jiaxin wanted handsome men and beautiful women, so those who were not good-looking were eliminated in the first round. Nowadays, unlike 30 years later when plastic surgery was popular, there are handsome men and beautiful women who are original and beautiful in their own unique way.

After reading the script, Nie Jingting told Tian Pengyu that he wanted to play the leading male role.

Tian Pengyu didn't dare to reject him directly, after all, he was the real boss, but he had an excuse now: "Fourth Young Master, the script of this movie was written by Miss Lu, and she also invested in it. Miss Lu has to study and has no time, so Third Young Master asked me to help her complete this movie. If you want to play the leading male role, Miss Lu must agree."

This was to let Nie Jingting know that he was just an errand boy and could not make the decision. This was indeed the case. He had suggested directly choosing a popular actress, but Miss Lu was unwilling to hold an open audition.

Nie Jingting turned around and called Lu Jiaxin, saying that he wanted to play the leading role in the movie. What he didn't expect was that as soon as he finished speaking, there was a beeping sound from the other end.

At first Nie Jingting thought the phone was out of order and called again. But he didn't expect that the maid answered the phone and said that Lu Jiaxin had gone upstairs to rest.

Nie Jingting was stunned. No one of his peers had ever been so disrespectful as Lu Jiaxin. He was a little angry and immediately called Nie Zhan to complain.

Not only did Nie Zhan not comfort him, he also scolded him: "With your lousy acting skills, no matter how good the script is, the movie will fail. Jia Xin put a lot of thought into this script, and with your lousy acting skills, you asked for the male lead as soon as you opened your mouth. Isn't it right for me to hang up on you?"

He had a good impression of Lu Jiaxin before, but this incident made him feel that background is really important. None of the rich girls around him had a temper as bad as Lu Jiaxin.

Nie Zhan said bluntly: "I hung up on you to tell you that she won't let you play any role in the movie. Fourth Brother, this movie is Jia Xin's hard work, she won't let any discordant factors affect this movie."

Seeing that he was still protecting Lu Jiaxin, Nie Jingting said unhappily, "Third brother, don't you think she is very rude?"

Nie Zhan asked back, "Weren't you the first to be rude? What right did you have to tell Jia Xin that you would be the lead actor? You were relying on the fact that you are the fourth young master of the Nie family and my younger brother. But you are not my younger brother, so how dare you make such an unreasonable request to Jia Xin?"

Hearing his bad tone, Nie Jingting didn't dare to say anything bad about Lu Jiaxin anymore.

Nie Zhan continued, "Nie Jingting, Jiaxin is different from my aunt and sister-in-law. She earned her billions on her own, so she won't bother with anyone. You can't do that, and neither can my aunt and grandfather. If you keep having this attitude, don't expect me to help you in the future."

Nie Jingting can continue to make movies because Nie Zhan told the old man that it was enough to have him and his elder brother at home, and there was no need to force Nie Jingting to work in a company. It was fine for him to do what he liked. Of course, he also felt from the bottom of his heart that doing what he liked was a happy thing.

Nie Jingting didn't expect the matter to be so serious, and quickly said, "Third brother, it's my fault, it's all my fault. Please choose a time, I want to apologize to Miss Lu in person for my rudeness just now."

This is reasonable. Nie Zhan said, "Tonight."

My aunt and mother are already a drag on the family, and Nie Jingshu's wife is also confused. If Nie Jingting is added to the mix, Jiaxin probably won't marry him.

Nie Zhan chose Fulinmen for dinner, which happened to be everyone's favorite.

After everyone sat down, Nie Jingting stood up and said to Lu Jiaxin, "Third sister-in-law, I'm sorry. I was not thinking clearly today and talked nonsense. I hope you don't mind."

After saying that, he picked up the wine glass and said, "I will drink three glasses as punishment."

Lu Jiaxin was a little sleepy at the time, and she found Nie Jingting's words a little funny. He really had no self-awareness at all. After hanging up the phone, she went upstairs to sleep.

Nie Zhan waited until he finished three glasses of wine before asking Lu Jiaxin: "If you're still not satisfied, let him treat us to a year's meal."

Nie Jingting thought he was too cruel. Fulinmen’s annual food expenses were enough for him to make a small movie.

Lu Jiaxin said, "That's not necessary. I just hope that the Fourth Young Master won't force others in the future."

If it wasn't for Nie Zhan, she wouldn't have paid any attention to Nie Jingting. Although he said it nicely, he didn't take her seriously in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't have asked for the role so confidently.
