After Murong Wanjun finished speaking, she knew she had made a mistake, but it didn't matter. She sneered and sat back down.
Assistant Yu said: "Mr. Chai's wishes are very clear and there is absolutely no room for negotiation.
Let's put it this way, if Murong Wanjun becomes the female lead, we will continue to invest. If Murong Wanjun is not allowed to become the female lead, we will withdraw our investment!"
At this moment, everyone was silent. If this movie is not successful because Gao Meilan cannot be the female lead, it will be a loss for everyone.
Everyone looked at Gao Meilan.
Gao Meilan smiled lightly and said: "When Director Chen called me to make an appointment for this movie, it was because of my love for the role of the female lead and Director Chen's support for me in the past few years that I agreed.
of.
If I am asked to play the second female lead for other reasons, that is not impossible.
I am not a big actor. Over the years, I have often appeared in supporting roles.
After all, good scripts and characters, even supporting roles, can still shine.
If it's for the sake of my work or my job, I can give in.
But for some people's selfish desires, if they want me to regress, I will not compromise easily.
The last time I came to Handong Province for filming, I almost had an accident.
But because there was a contract, an agreement, and my love for this movie. So even if there was danger, I didn't escape or give in. I still came.
But if I change roles temporarily now, it won’t mean that I have not abided by the contract.”
Speaking of this, she said eloquently: "I will leave it here today. If the role of the female lead is taken away from me, I will give up acting!"
After saying that, she changed the subject, looked at Chen Guosheng, and said quietly: "Director Chen, it's up to you. Only you can make this decision."
Chen Guosheng had a grimace on his face and frowned tightly. He looked at Gao Meilan here and Chai Zhenmin there, trapped in a dilemma.
On the one hand, there are actors who are both powerful idols, and the box office is guaranteed.
On the other side is the current God of Wealth, an investor who no one can do without if they want to make a movie.
After thinking for a long time, he showed an apologetic smile to Gao Meilan and said: "Meilan, in fact, the role of the second female lead is also the soul of the whole drama. Although her role is slightly less, it is very important.
I know you are unhappy in your heart, but you also grew up as an actor and understand that sometimes things don't go as we want.
Why don't you just give in?"
Murong Wanjun showed a proud smile. Once Director Chen said these words, it meant that the overall situation was decided!
This society is still a society of money! No matter how big Gao Meilan’s celebrity status is, it can’t be bigger than money!
Gao Meilan waited patiently for Chen Guosheng to finish, smiled lightly, then slowly stood up and picked up her bag.
He said conceitedly: "Director Chen, it's true that I started out as an actor since I was a child. I know that life is unfortunate.
But I am no longer the person I used to be. I am not one of those artists that no one cares about.
There are so many people asking me to make movies. Now it’s me who chooses the movies, not the movies who choose me.
It seems that we can’t cooperate this time. Let’s work together again if we have a chance.”
After saying that, she turned around and left without hesitation or nostalgia.
However, after turning her back to everyone, there was grievance and reluctance in her eyes!
For this movie, she prepared for more than three months, read through the history of the Tang Dynasty, grasped the character of the characters, and put in unimaginable energy and sweat.
She really likes that female lead role!
But Buddhas compete for a stick of incense, and people compete for a breath!
She is not willing to expose her grievances and weaknesses to outsiders!
If you want to leave, leave quickly! If you have tears, wipe them away when no one is around!
He strode to the door and opened it.
Then she had to stop.
Because there was a person standing outside the door, blocking her way.
The person blocking her way was none other than her temporary bodyguard Fang Lin, Mr. Fang.
"You really don't want to act anymore?" Fang Lin asked softly.
"No more acting." Gao Meilan smiled and shook her head.
She wanted to smile calmly and magnanimously, but for some reason, after seeing Fang Lin, the grievances in her heart suddenly surged.
Therefore, the smile became a little bitter.
"Will you regret it?" Fang Lin asked again.
Taking a deep breath, Gao Meilan wanted to answer without regrets.
But looking at Fang Lin's captivating eyes, he finally followed his heart and replied in a low voice: "Perhaps, I will regret it to some extent."
Fang Lindao: "On the way back from Lingnan Province, you talked a lot about the plot and characters of this movie. I can see that you have prepared a lot for this movie.
Since you will regret it, why don’t you fight for it and just give up?”
"Fang Lin, please stop talking." xdw8
With tears welling up in her eyes, Gao Meilan stubbornly refused to let herself cry: "It's a done deal, there's nothing left to fight for, let's go."
Fang Lin smiled softly, raised his hand, gently wiped Gao Meilan's tears, and said, "Do you know why I accompanied you here?"
"Why?" Gao Meilan felt the warmth coming from Fang Lin's fingertips, and felt warm in her heart, and asked with some obsession.
"Because I know you're going to be bullied tonight."
Fang Lindao: "I came with you just to make the decision for you.
You are not alone, I am your strongest support."
After that, he took Gao Meilan's hand and strode back to the dinner table.
Awesome!
Looks bad!
Everyone at the dinner table felt great pressure from Fang Lin at this moment!
"You're a little security guard, what do you want to do?" Chai Zhenmin clenched his fists, suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and shouted in a deep voice.
Fang Lin said coldly: "I'll give you two choices.
First, continue to let Gao Meilan be the heroine, and don’t make things difficult for her during the post-production process. In this way, you are still an investor.
If you don’t accept it, that’s the second thing, get out immediately! This movie doesn’t require your investment!”
Chai Zhenmin laughed as if he had heard some big joke.
Except for Chen Guosheng and Gou Wenbin, everyone also started laughing.
Everyone looked at Fang Lin as if they were looking at another idiot!
"If I don't invest, this movie will be trashed, you know!?" Chai Zhenmin was full of confidence.
Yu Chao said: "The preliminary budget for this movie alone is over 200 million. Do you think this is a movie that anyone would dare to invest in?
If Director Chen hadn't used his connections to seek help from Mr. Chai, do you think he would have been able to attract more investors now that the film market is sluggish?"
Murong Wanjun sneered and said: "This person is really funny. I don't know where Gao Meilan hired such an idiot. It really made me laugh to death!"
Deng Lun sneered: "You are not overestimating your capabilities. You are a little bodyguard. Don't come out and embarrass yourself. Get away as far as you can!"
