Chapter 819: Chapter 819: Outdated Information
"Wasn’t the role I played supposed to save a little fox from Qingqiu?"
"Yes, there is such a scene."
"Later, the little fox always stayed by my side, making her the actress with the most scenes apart from me."
The director’s eyes flickered, with some speculation in his heart, but he didn’t speak out, just nodded.
Yang Lusi continued, "You’ve been having trouble finding a suitable young actor, and you asked us for recommendations. I happened to work with Little Taotie on Time-Space Monster Management Bureau. I think her acting is really good, and she’s very dedicated and reliable, so I want to recommend her."
The director lowered his gaze, remained silent, and waited for Yang Lusi to continue speaking.
Yang Lusi glanced at him, feeling unsure, then looked at the screenwriter.
The screenwriter sighed lightly. The director had argued with her earlier about the little fox role being too unnecessary, and they were considering cutting it out.
Yang Lusi saw both of them with their eyes downcast, not saying anything, confused about the situation, and muttered to herself: Could it be they’ve already found a suitable young actor? Someone with connections?
Even if there’s already a candidate, she still wants to try for Zaizai!
After all, it’s a big screen project rumored to be aiming for awards!
Yang Lusi picked up a buttered bread, eating while laughing, speaking in a casual tone as if in a chat, "It’s a pity, I was rejected, Zaizai doesn’t want to play the little fox at all."
The director was proud; even when Little Taotie herself showed interest in the role, he was hesitant to agree.
Little Taotie brought funding into the group, synonymous with the Little God of Wealth in the industry, and some people might be eager to have such a popular figure join their team.
But the director found it troublesome. Chairman Cheng invested a lot, which meant managing a lot and restraining a lot.
The industry’s Little God of Wealth essentially overshadowed his efforts; if the movie becomes popular and wins awards, those who aren’t convinced will undoubtedly say it was all thanks to Little Taotie’s luck.
But now, hearing Little Taotie’s refusal to shoot, the director was disgruntled.
What’s that supposed to mean?
Does she look down on my crew? On my talents?
Once the news of Little Taotie’s refusal spreads, even if the movie becomes successful, it’s fine, but if it doesn’t, what then? Will people talk behind my back? Rumors will say: No wonder Little Taotie turned it down; it was destined not to succeed!
The director took a deep breath and, frustrated, asked, "Why? Is it the script?"
Yang Lusi shook her head, "The script wasn’t sent over, so it’s not the script."
"Refusing without even seeing the script? Does she look down on me?" The director murmured, "Does she think I won’t win awards or that my work is bad?"
"Director, what are you thinking? Don’t overthink! Zaizai is just a six-year-old child; how could she think about such complicated issues!"
"She might not, but others might. For example, her manager Chairman Cheng or her assistant Gu Bei." The director shook his head, "Gu Bei is quite a famous PR, even actors who’ve been blacked to the point of no return can become popular under his management, but to think... he’d be willing to be a child’s assistant."
The screenwriter smirked, "Your news is outdated."
Yang Lusi nodded, "Director, your information is really outdated! Gu Bei was reassigned back to the Public Relations Department long ago. Little Taotie’s assistant now is Chen Zi."
"Clang!" The director’s fork fell to the ground, and he didn’t look at it, his eyes filled with disbelief, "Who did you say? Chen Zi? The sinister one I know?"
That guy! Famous for his cunning!
Countless "glorious" achievements!
The industry curses him: Deadly fox, sinister, a thousand-year masterpiece producer!
