These words struck Cheng Yi like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, leaving him completely stunned.
She clenched her fingers so tightly that her nails dug into her flesh. After a long while, she came to her senses and asked, her face pale, "What did he say?"
Seeing that Cheng Yi was in a bad mood, the assistant immediately stepped forward and showed her the phone. She said happily, "He Chen said that although Sister Yi is not the prototype of Feng Shanshan, if they can't find a more suitable actress than Sister Yi, they will consider letting Sister Yi play the lead role."
Cheng Yi was dumbfounded. She opened her beautiful eyes wide in disbelief, as if asking, "Is there really such a good thing?"
The assistant excitedly asked, "Should we tell Brother Feng?"
"Wait a minute." After a moment of overwhelming joy, Cheng Yi quickly calmed down. She thought carefully before solemnly saying, "Don't be too happy yet. First, contact the company and ask if they've secured the copyright for 'Day and Night'."
If the deal falls through, He Chen's move could very well backfire and generate more buzz. After all, she is already a celebrity, and once he reaches an agreement with another company and selects the female lead, she will become the cornerstone for the true female lead of "Day and Night" to become famous, turning into a complete joke.
This behavior is called "walking the pancake" in the industry.
The assistant quickly followed Cheng Yi's advice and contacted their company. The company's executives confirmed that "Day and Night" was indeed in business negotiations and was interested in selling "Day and Night" to the company.
If that's the case, then He Chen's response became publicity before the collaboration, and it's unlikely that it contained any other factors.
Cheng Yi then dispelled her doubts and revealed a smile.
She instructed her assistant to tell the executives that no matter what price He Chen asked for, the company should try its best to reach an agreement. Once they secured the rights to "Day and Night," she could officially announce it, and then she wouldn't have to resort to such underhanded tactics to ride on He Chen's popularity anymore.
The executives naturally agreed, since the film and television company was jointly owned by the Cheng family and another bigwig in the industry, and Cheng Yi was practically a princess in the company.
After arranging everything, Cheng Yi replied on Weibo: "Then I hope all my colleagues who are in contact with 'Day and Night' accidentally oversleep on the day of the audition, and I'll definitely be the first one there." [Tongue out emoji]
Fans commented that they were absolutely charmed and screamed with delight.
...
Although He Jing's life was monotonous, consisting of only three points, she was still very sensitive to things happening online.
After all, she had to keep track of which country He Zhou went to and which competition he won, how well He Ning was training in the national team, what difficult problems He Sui's computer alliance had solved for the country and enterprises today, and also He Chen, who was incredibly famous yet remained low-key and quiet.
They live in different places, and sometimes when they're busy, they don't have as much convenient and timely news about each other as they do online.
When she learned that He Chen intended to choose Cheng Yi as the female lead, she was both amused and exasperated.
Needless to say, He Chen was playing Cheng Yi again. If He Yuan hadn't told her, she wouldn't have known that taking He's mother to the auction was He Chen's suggestion. It was at that auction that He's mother and Cheng Yi suddenly had a falling out.
A crisis that she thought might cause her trouble later was resolved by He Chen and He Yuan before it even happened.
That's why they're called He's mother's sons; they've got her completely under their thumb.
Right now, He Chen is definitely full of bad intentions, just waiting for Cheng Yi to fall into his trap. If Cheng Yi isn't greedy, He Chen won't do anything to her. But if she is greedy, then the consequences will be... well...
