A familiar figure came into view from behind.
Judging by her height, she is at least 1.85 meters tall, and she and Fu Qingruo, who is 1.75 meters tall, look quite well-matched.
The man's profile is very attractive and he looks very young.
Yi Tianran paused for a moment, wanting to take a closer look, but the two had already entered the private room, completely isolating themselves from the outside world.
"I feel like I've seen this somewhere before. Who could it be?" Yi Tianran felt like a kitten was scratching at her heart, making her unable to contain her curiosity.
She bit her lip, hesitated for less than three seconds, then pushed open the door of the coffee shop and booked another private room.
After the waiter left, she tiptoed cautiously to the door of Fu Qingruo's private room, intending to eavesdrop.
Suddenly, a loud "bang" came from the opposite private room.
The door wasn't closed properly, and an angry shout came from inside, "Yi Lianxue, don't go too far! This script has been revised again and again for you, what more do you want?"
Yi Lianxue's arrogant voice followed, "Didn't I say? I don't have enough scenes. Cut out those minor supporting roles and replace them with the female lead's highlight scenes."
—Tsk, it really was her.
Yi Lianxue has been in the limelight lately, and her true nature is being revealed more and more quickly.
These words immediately enraged the screenwriter on the other end of the line, who retorted, "What a joke! These supporting characters' scenes are crucial; they are part of the climax of the entire drama. This is not a one-man show by you."
Yi Lianxue paused slightly as she fiddled with her nails, then raised her head in dissatisfaction. "Listen to me clearly, I am the female lead of this drama. Since this is a drama with a strong female lead, I will not allow anyone to steal my spotlight. Not to mention those minor characters, even the male lead's spotlight should be moved to me."
The screenwriter thought she was being incredibly unrealistic. "That's impossible! The main characters, supporting characters, and plot development of a drama are all crucial. You can't strip someone of their character design just because of their personal preferences. Such a script lacks soul and will definitely flop badly in the end."
Yi Lianxue seemed to have taken his words to heart, and said casually, "Then you should add the female lead to every supporting role scene. No matter how you arrange it, my role must be large, and every frame must be beautiful and stunning. I make a living with my looks."
“That’s impossible.” The screenwriter tried to reason with her. “The plot has many twists and turns, and there are many scenes where the female lead can’t be present. Otherwise, she would know everything, and how could she continue acting? Idols rely on their looks, while actors rely on their acting skills.”
Yi Lianxue, however, had already looked up at him impatiently and glared at him, "Are you questioning me?"
"I just want to write a good script; that's my responsibility as a screenwriter."
Yi Lianxue scoffed, "Get this straight, it was Xingyu Investment that paid you to write the script. The company is your bread and butter. You're just a small-time screenwriter. Don't you have any self-awareness about whose opinions to listen to?"
The screenwriter finally realized that she was completely unreasonable.
"With a leading actress like you, I'd rather not take this script."
Yi Lianxue stood up angrily, slammed her hand on the table, and said arrogantly, "How dare you disobey me? Believe me, I can get Xingyu to take action and make sure you can't survive in this industry."
The screenwriter looked dejected and wanted to tell her, "Fine, if you don't want to do it, then don't. I'll just leave the entertainment industry and find another job."
But he also knew that reality wasn't a wish-fulfillment story, and he wasn't some young and impetuous lad anymore; sometimes he had to bow his head for the sake of making a living.
"I'm sorry, Ms. Yi, I will revise the script again, and this time I will definitely satisfy you."
"That's more like it."
With her new status and position, Yi Lianxue will now be able to walk with impunity in the entertainment industry, making everyone afraid to underestimate her.
The screenwriter dejectedly opened the door and left.
Yi Tianran leaned lazily against the wall and listened to the whole process. Suddenly, a sly glint flashed in her eyes, and a good idea was born in her mind.
She went to the bathroom and made an overseas call. Five minutes later, she came out and knocked on Yi Lianxue's door.
Yi Lianxue's arrogant voice rang out: "Come in."
Yi Tianran pushed open the door and entered, her smile warm and inviting. "Excuse me, are you the famous sexy goddess, Ms. Yi Lianxue?"
She went out today dressed in men's clothing. Her face, after being disguised, was handsome and dashing, with sky-blue contact lenses. She looked elegant and charming, which made Yi Lianxue feel a sense of goodwill towards her.
In addition, his sweet talk made Yi Lianxue's heart flutter, and even the arrogance in her tone disappeared. "It's me. And who are you, a celebrity in the entertainment industry?"
Yi Tianran said calmly, "I wouldn't dare call myself a star. I'm Ives, the top agent at Thyssen Entertainment in the US. I recently established a new company in China and am looking for partners."
"Thyson Entertainment!!!" Yi Lianxue stared wide-eyed in surprise. "Is that the most influential entertainment company in the world? It is said that many of the movies, TV shows and variety shows produced by this company have won box office and ratings championships, and are far ahead in the industry."
This is even more awesome than Starry Sky Entertainment!
Yi Tianran smiled mysteriously: "Keep a low profile, keep a low profile."
She wasn't lying; during her years abroad, she did work as a top agent at ThyssenKrupp for over half a year, helping the CEO solve a major problem and forging a deep friendship with him.
Therefore, when she made a phone call just now and asked to borrow Thyssen's name, the executive agreed without hesitation, telling her to go ahead and do it, and even to send people over to help her.
"I understand. You came to the country secretly to develop your business, intending to find good candidates and make a name for yourselves!" Yi Lianxue said, her voice trembling with emotion.
That's the top entertainment industry, with top-notch resources. You might even get to work with international stars. Anyone would be tempted!
However, the thought that she had already signed with Xingyu immediately cooled her excitement.
"It's a pity I've already signed with a company and debuted." She sighed in disappointment.
If only she had waited a little longer, she might have become an international superstar and even made blockbuster movies in Hollywood in the future, which would have been a hundred times better than what she is now.
Yi Tianran smiled gently, as if bathed in a spring breeze: "It's alright. Even if you already have a company, it won't conflict with cooperating with us, because our company's latest focus is on reality shows."
Yi Lianxue finally understood, "You want to invite me to film a reality show?"
It's like shooting commercials or TV dramas, but she hasn't had much experience with reality shows.
Yi Tianran patiently explained, "That's right. If Miss Yi wants to gain more fans, fame, status, and money, reality shows are the fastest way. Unlike filming dramas, which requires many cycles and wastes energy and effort, if the script is bad, you'll be ridiculed for your acting; if the box office is bad, the lead actor will be blamed and criticized. Even the salary is fixed—"
