"roll……"
Bai Qingze could no longer suppress his anger and told Ou Yiyi to get out of the way.
"A burning heart, a fervent love!" Bai Qingzhi raised her voice slightly, drowning out her second brother's.
Her shout startled Ou Yi, who stared at Bai Qingzhi with wide eyes in surprise.
"I just suddenly thought of this song, hehe." Bai Qingzhi wasn't an outgoing person to begin with, and feeling awkward under everyone's gaze, she touched her nose.
"By the way, what brings you here, Second Brother?" Bai Qingzhi promptly threw the question back at him.
"Let's talk about cooperation. My beloved has a new drama recently, and I'm interested in participating." Bai Qingze had calmed down by now and subtly pulled his arm away from Ou Yiyi's grasp.
Bai Qingzhi nodded knowingly; she had heard about it.
This new drama is a big production, and all the actors are seasoned performers; none of the young idols or popular celebrities are used.
Several actors have already been confirmed, all of whom are well-known veteran actors in China. After the news was released, it received unanimous praise online.
"Then you should go quickly." Bai Qingzhi knew that this performance was very important to Bai Qingze, so she hurriedly let go of his hand and pushed him towards the office of the manager of Zhi'ai Entertainment.
Bai Qingze also went down the slope, nodded to everyone, and turned to leave.
As Ou Yiyi watched his retreating figure, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes, and then she lowered her gaze somewhat dejectedly.
However, she quickly raised her head and returned to normal, taking Bai Qingzhi's hand and asking with wide eyes:
"Qingzhi, is that new drama still short of actresses?"
Bai Qingzhi nodded without any hesitation; everyone knew about this.
Furthermore, according to her knowledge, many female celebrities have recently been inquiring about this matter and trying every means to pull strings to get into the production.
Some even planned to bring their own funding to the project.
The three actresses, including the female lead, have not yet been confirmed. The outside world just thought that they hadn't found suitable candidates yet, but Bai Qingzhi learned from Xiao Yuan that the production team was actually checking the information of these actresses one by one.
Recently, there have been one scandal after another in the entertainment industry. When one actor gets into trouble, it can directly affect the entire production crew and even the final release of the movie.
The film investment in this project, including the script, was enormous. We weren't even thinking about making money; our goal was simply to stand out at the Feishen Awards two years later.
Therefore, artists with a history of misconduct should absolutely not be used.
At first, we did select a few celebrities, but after digging deeper, we found that none of them were without some dirty secrets, so they were all eventually rejected.
The male lead has already been cast—an international superstar. Even Bai Qingze, a renowned actor, will be playing a supporting role.
The remaining supporting roles are still under consideration, but Bai Qingzhi, judging from Xiao Yuan's words, will find it difficult.
The entertainment industry is a big dye vat; even a blank sheet of paper will eventually be stained black. Moreover, it is even more difficult for female artists to make a name for themselves than for men, so things have reached a stalemate.
Ou Yiyi's eyes darted around a few times, then she tentatively spoke:
"Qingzhi, do I have a chance to play a role with just some screen time?"
Actually, given Ou Yiyi's current status, this request is really not excessive.
But if it were before she cheated, Ou Yiyi would definitely be fine, after all, I've investigated her background and it's spotless.
But now, that possibility has become zero. Having a movie star boyfriend and still being entangled with his "white moonlight" (his first love) would be a huge bombshell if exposed.
Based on Bai Qingze's fame alone, his fans and netizens could easily criticize Ou Yiyi to death. If she really participates in this new movie, the movie's rating will probably drop as well.
Such a situation is absolutely unacceptable for something that has required so much effort.
"Yiyi, you've already accepted Director Liu's new film, and the filming schedule conflicts with it," Bai Qingzhi replied calmly.
“We can turn down Director Liu’s offer!” Ou Yiyi replied anxiously.
Bai Qingzhi didn't speak, but just frowned and looked at her face.
Ou Yiyi quickly realized she had said the wrong thing, gave an awkward smile, and then pursed her lips and lowered her head.
Director Liu is also an internationally renowned director. When news broke that he was going to start filming a new drama, Ou Yiyi was immediately interested, and no amount of persuasion from Bai Qingzhi could dissuade her.
At the time, no one knew about her messy affair with Han Yuan. Seeing how much she wanted to participate in the film, Bai Qingzhi deliberately flirted with Xiao Yuan to get her a chance to audition with Director Liu.
Otherwise, given her status, she wouldn't be good enough to be Director Liu.
Regardless of Ou Yiyi's current relationship status, at least her acting skills are really good. She was successfully hired after only one audition. Although it wasn't an important role, she still had quite a few scenes.
This is already a huge blessing for other female celebrities; the two of them even celebrated when Ou Yiyi returned.
She knew that she had spoken without thinking, so Ou Yi lowered her head and pondered for a while before raising her head again.
When she looked over again, Bai Qingzhi had returned to normal.
Meanwhile, Bai Qingze successfully landed the role of the male supporting character. When he came out, he didn't see Bai Qingzhi and Ou Yiyi. He went downstairs with his manager.
Sitting in the car, Bai Qingze closed his eyes, rubbed his temples wearily, and shook his phone up and down in his hand.
Finally, he opened his eyes, unlocked his phone, found Ou Yiyi's name, and typed and deleted on the chat interface for a while before deciding to break up with her concisely.
He no longer wanted to ask why Ou Yiyi betrayed him; he might as well do as his older brother suggested and find another one if this one didn't work out.
A short, sharp pain is worse than a long, drawn-out one.
But before the message could be sent, a phone call came in. Bai Qingze looked at the number and was reluctant to answer.
But in the end, he answered the call anyway.
"Speak." The answer was concise and to the point.
"Second Young Master, I discovered today that the information I found yesterday was not entirely accurate. I'm sending you the whole story now, so please be careful."
The people opposite him were the ones he had sent yesterday to investigate Ou Yiyi and Han Yuan.
Immediately afterwards, my phone vibrated, and a document was sent to me.
He clicked through the pages one by one, and fifteen minutes later, Bai Qingze put down his phone with a gloomy expression.
He deleted the breakup message he originally intended to send to Ou Yiyi and replaced it with another message asking her out that evening.
Bai Qingzhi wandered around Zhi'ai Entertainment for a while, and finally went upstairs during Ma's lunch break.
Bai Qingzhi cautiously opened the door a crack and crouched down at the doorway, peeking inside furtively. However, after looking around, she couldn't find anyone in the room.
Unconsciously, she leaned her body in a little further, and Bai Qingzhi's entire head went inside.
As she searched for Xiao Yuan's figure, she didn't notice that a lot of people were already standing behind her, with Xiao Yuan at the very front.
Today, Xiao Yuan is going to discuss a big business deal with a foreign company, and the rest of the people are from that foreign company.
