Now the only role left is the male lead. Ling Qingzhu is looking down at the information in his hand. The people listed on it are all candidates for the male lead.
The producer was sitting across from Ling Qingzhu and pointed at one of them. "I think he's a perfect fit. He's a top star. You've worked together twice before, and the audience is clamoring for a third collaboration. If he plays the male lead, the drama will definitely be a big hit."
Ling Qingzhu propped up her chin slightly and smiled: "Why, you don't trust me? Do you think I can't bring in enough traffic on my own?"
The producer immediately changed his tone: "How could that be? You are the boss of this drama, you have the final say. I am just making a suggestion and satisfying the audience's ideas."
Ling Qingzhu brushed the hair in front of her back and said, "I don't have any requirements for whether it's a top star or not. As long as the image is suitable and the acting skills are okay, it's fine."
As long as Yan Mofei isn’t the male lead, it seems like it doesn’t matter who it is.
It’s just that top star that the producer mentioned. Although the two have worked together twice and have many CP fans, at the same time, the fans of both sides also fight with each other very fiercely.
The Weibo posts were almost entirely devoted to greeting each other, and even with their guidance, the atmosphere remained heated.
If they keep pairing up together, I'm afraid everyone will really think there's something going on between them, and their CP fans will go crazy, right?
Ling Qingzhu was not thinking about these things. She had already planned to support Yan Mofei's role as the invisible male protagonist, increase his role and highlights, which would inevitably reduce the male protagonist's role. If a top star were to play the role, regardless of whether the other party was willing or not, there would definitely be a huge fight between the fans.
Seeing that she lacked interest and had no intention of cooperating, the producer pointed to the other two and said, "What about these two? They're not bad either. They're both A-list stars with decent acting skills and good reputations. They're highly favored for the male lead role."
If the demand is loud, then it will be even more useless.
Ling Qingzhu shook his head, not very satisfied with the people in front of him.
"Is there no other choice?"
The producer sighed, "Everyone else has their own shortcomings. Their status, acting skills, and image are always inconsistent. These few are already the best ones selected."
"Really? I do have someone to recommend."
The door opened and a man walked in with a twisted waist.
She had a smile on her face, and her slender eyes were like a fox's. Whenever her eyes moved, there was always a natural charm in her.
The bright red dress brought out her charming look to the extreme.
"Hua Dan, why are you here?" Ling Qingzhu was a little surprised by her arrival.
The relationship between her and the man in front of her was neither deep nor shallow. They used to be very close, but with the competition and development over the past two years, their relationship had become distant.
But this drama tied the two of them together again, because Hua Dan was going to play the second female lead in her drama.
"We have such a good relationship, can't I just come to see you?"
Ling Qingzhu laughed twice. If she had been told this before, she would have taken it seriously. However, after years of working in the entertainment industry, she had seen all kinds of people, and she knew Hua Dan inside and out.
At first, she thought Hua Dan was her good friend and confidant.
But one time, Hua Dan took her role while she was sick and made up a lie for her. After she exposed the lie, their relationship began to become distant.
At that time she forgave Hua Dan, but was betrayed by her for the second time.
At that time, Ling Qingzhu was still a second-tier actress. Just because she stood a little close to a top male star on the podium, she was exposed online by the other party's fans. They accused her of taking advantage of the other party's traffic and called her shameless. They said that she was a second-tier actress who relied on her good looks to pay for the other party.
During that time, she was almost completely blacklisted online. Everything she did was wrong, and even smiling would be accused of seducing people.
And it was at that time that Hua Dan stabbed her in the back. Not only did he create a fake account to support her, he even leaked some half-truths in an attempt to drag her into the abyss.
At this moment, only a ghost would believe that I came to see her.
"Just tell me what's going on." She didn't have time to act out some sisterly love with Hua Dan.
If Hua Dan had not been pushed in by another investor, she would not have agreed to star in this drama.
However, it was precisely because of Hua Dan's joining that the once estranged Haoyuan met again in the play. The topic of whether they would reconcile became popular on the Internet, which also brought a lot of traffic to the drama.
Now she has become the best actress and a top star, but Hua Dan is still struggling on the front line. Seeing herself surpassing her is a different kind of relief.
"You're still the same impatient person as before."
Hua Dan covered her mouth lightly and laughed, and even her laughter sounded like a foxy one, with a seductive nature.
The producer sitting nearby felt itchy because of this smile. He looked up at Hua Dan, then quickly looked away.
It was so scary that it almost took my soul away.
Hua Dan took out a resume and placed it in front of Ling Qingzhu. "Here, this is the one I recommend to you. He's a second-tier actor. His looks fit your male lead role, and his acting is pretty good. You can watch a few of his performances before making a decision."
Ling Qingzhu took a look. She knew this person, and he had become quite popular recently. To be able to climb to the second-tier position with just three dramas was quite impressive.
It seems that the company behind him is willing to give him resources, and he works hard enough. At least he has a good eye for choosing scripts and roles.
"What's your relationship with him?"
Hua Dan continued to smile, "How could there be any connection? We're just from the same company. The boss wants to promote him, and since he heard you and I have a good relationship, he asked me to come and talk to you."
"Whether he chooses or not, that's none of my business. Anyway, it's him who's being praised, not me."
Ling Qingzhu crossed her arms and looked at her kindly, "If I don't choose him, will you be unable to report to the company?"
Hua Dan nodded with a look of grievance. "Yes, that's why I still hope you can choose me. That way, if I succeed in this matter, the company will allocate more resources to me."
Ling Qingzhu waved his hand: "You go first, I'll think about it."
"Okay." Hua Dan continued to walk out, twisting her waist and legs. At the end, she threw a coquettish glance at the producer, causing the producer's body to tremble.
After Hua Dan left, Ling Qingzhu rubbed his brows and said, "Call the director and the others in, and we'll vote. Whoever gets the most votes will be the male lead."
The producer was surprised. Wasn’t this way of choosing the male lead a little too casual?
But on second thought, if everyone supports it, it can't be that bad. After agreeing to this plan, he called the people in.
Finally, the male lead role was confirmed.
Yan Mofei received the message.
"Five days from now is a good day. The filming will officially start. Please be there on time."
