Chapter 515: It’s Called Letting Yourself Free
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Pretending to be profound, Huo Zihang said, “She’s just being herself.”
“…”
‘Seems like the rumors are true. Mr. Huo has completely been bewitched by that sultry woman, Yan Jinyi.’
‘Hmph, she’s even an actress who didn’t graduate with a degree in arts and performance. I shall see how capable she is’
It was Tao Wei’s second time working with Yan Jinyi on a film that “Second Young Mistress Huo” had invested, and he felt like he was at the pinnacle of his life. Yan Jinyi was totally his lucky charm because his career had been flourishing ever since he met her.
“I invited Xu Zhenghan to be the male lead. When he heard that he was going to cooperate with you, he immediately…” Before Tao Wei finished his sentence, his assistant came scurrying over anxiously with panic written all over his face. “Director Tao, Xu Zhenghan said that he can’t work with us.”
Tao Wei’s expression changed drastically. “What’s the reason?”
“It’s said that the Bai Corporation has invited him to be the second lead in the movie that they’ve invited in. He’ll be acting alongside Ke Ying.”
‘Bai Corporation?’
Yan Jinyi squinted. ‘The company owned by Bai Moliang’s family?’
“So be it then. Who does he think he is? Go find out who else of the same class as Xu Zhenghan we can invite. We…”
“Save it. None of them of them will work with us,” Yan Jinyi interjected.
Tao Wei asked in bewilderment, “Why?”
‘Because Bai Moliang is trying to get me boycotted.’
Yan Jinyi sneered. ‘As long as I’m part of the cast, Bai Moliang will make sure that we can’t hire any other actors and actresses.’
“Second Young Mistress Huo invested in this film, those people…”
‘Well, it’s precisely because I was the one who invested in it! What exactly does Bai Moliang want to do? He’s putting the blame on me just because his younger sister can’t hook up with Doggy Huo?’
Tao Wei stared at Yan Jinyi for a long time. Just a moment ago, he thought that Yan Jinyi was his lucky charm.
‘Is my career going to go down the drain?’
“Why don’t we work with Zhuang Heng? Jinyi, you’re close to Zhuang Heng, why don’t you talk to him about it?”
Yan Jinyi declined without even thinking about it. “No, Zhuang Heng is filming for something else.”
Although it was normal for celebrities to have a packed schedule, she didn’t really want to work with Zhuang Heng…
The thought of Zhuang Heng lying topless on the ground in a seductive posture made her shudder incessantly.
‘Forget it, my head hurts.’
“What do we do now? Apart from you, we haven’t found a single actor for the male lead as well as the supporting cast.”
Yan Jinyi looked up and said righteously, “Director Tao, I think it’s time we introduce new blood to the entertainment industry.”
“What do you mean?”
Yan Jinyi smiled and said, “Let’s hire newbies. There are many who have great potential. Well look at me, I’m a perfect example.”
“…”
‘How confident.’
Refusing to resign to fate, Tao Wei called an actress whom he was close to and tried to invite her to star in his film. However, she rejected him with the excuse that she had already joined the cast of Bai Corporation’s film.
That wasn’t all. Even the post-production team that had previously signed the contract with them were willing to pay the charges for breaching the contract.
‘Damn it, did Jinyi offend some big shot?’
Tao Wei looked at her with trepidation. “Jinyi, did you offend someone? Aren’t you pretty close to Second Young Mistress Huo? Ask her for help. I discovered that these people might be nitpicking on you…”
Tao Wei stopped speaking further.
Looking as if she had already expected it, Yan Jinyi said, “Director Tao, do you dare to trust me once more and let me handle the entire crew personnel with full authority?”
Tao Wei hesitated.
“I’ll give you the most impressive production team and a brand new cast.”
‘Huh? Can I say no?’
