"Are you really sure that the leading female lead in the movie is Yan Yan?"
"I heard that the contract has been signed."
The casual comments from the guests around her brought Fu Yuan'er back to her senses. She couldn't help laughing at how redundant she was, thinking about all the things she had and didn't have.
Her inability to let go has no other meaning than causing her own internal injuries.
She continued to look for Yan Yan, but still could not see her figure.
"Deputy editor," the photographer suddenly ran over and thrust the camera into her hand, "I suddenly have a stomachache. Please help me take a picture."
After saying that, he ran away.
Fu Yuan'erhan, this person is really rude. Although we are all in the same newspaper office, today is the first time for the two of them to collaborate.
However, since you are here, you have to work hard.
The reception was related to a movie. We wanted to take photos of the glamorous female star and the lively guests. Do we need to send an editor-level reporter like her?
She should dig deeper, such as the composition of the film's investors, the real reason for the remake, etc.
She hung the camera strap around her neck and came to the guest sign-in area at the door.
"Hello, I'm a reporter from Metropolis News." She showed her ID to the employee at the check-in desk.
The other party nodded and glanced into the venue, "The General Manager Cheng will conduct a Q&A with reporters at the venue later. You can go in and find a place."
"Besides Mr. Cheng, who are the other investors invited today?" Fu Yuan'er asked.
The two staff members looked at each other, hesitant.
Fu Yuan'er immediately said: "I just want to report the movie situation more comprehensively."
One of them replied: "The biggest investor in the movie is Wu Ruian, boss Wu, but he may not attend."
"Isn't he already here? He's in the lounge."
"Just because you are here does not mean you will attend the reception..."
The two were still discussing, but Fu Yuan'er had quietly left.
The lounge is easy to find, just next to the venue.
She raised her hand and knocked on the door. The person who opened the door was a fat and greasy middle-aged man with a bald head...
"Hello, is Boss Wu here?" Fu Yuan'er knew that he was not Wu Ruian.
Cheng Muying described Wu Ruian's appearance to her.
This person was Wu Ruian's uncle Wu Bing. He looked Fu Yuan'er up and down with squinted eyes, his expression full of disdain.
"Girl, you should dress up before you come back." There were many women who wanted to get close to his nephew, and the one in front of him was obviously the least sophisticated one.
Fu Yuan'er frowned: "I am Fu Yuan'er, a reporter from Metropolis News, and I want to interview Boss Wu."
"Let her come in." A magnetic voice came from the room.
Fu Yuan'er immediately determined that the owner of the voice was Wu Ruian. The voice completely matched Cheng Muying's description.
She walked into the room and saw an elegant and elegant man sitting on the sofa.
He is indeed very suitable for Yan Yan.
"Boss Wu..."
Wu Ruian raised his hand and interrupted Fu Yuan'er first: "You don't need to use reporters' polite words. I let you in not because you are a reporter, but because you are Yan Yan's friend."
Fu Yuan'er was surprised: "Yan Yan mentioned me to you?"
Wu Ruian raised his lips and chuckled: "You came to me, what revelations do you want to dig out?"
"Boss Wu is joking, I just want to interview more about the movie." Fu Yuan'er replied.
"That's a coincidence," Wu Ruian glanced at his watch, "Zhu Qingqing will come to me in five minutes, and you will definitely see something you didn't expect."
Fu Yuan'er was stunned. Isn't Zhu Qingqing Yan Yan's enemy?
The leading female lead in the movie has been confirmed, why is Zhu Qingqing looking for Wu Ruian?
"But I have to force Miss Fu to go to the small room inside, otherwise it will hinder Miss Zhu Qingqing's performance." Wu Ruian said half-jokingly.
When Fu Yuan'er saw that he was serious, of course she was not polite.
When Zhu Qingqing knocked on the door, she hid in the small room, opened the door a small gap, and observed quietly.
"Boss Wu!" Zhu Qingqing came to Wu Ruian with a smile, "I have long heard that Boss Wu has a good demeanor. When we met today, I found that they were wrong."
"How do you say it?" Wu Ruian asked.
"They should say that Boss Wu is enough to become every girl's dream lover." Zhu Qingqing's eyes were as charming as silk.
Fu Yuan'er curled her lips in surprise, Zhu Qingqing was indeed bold in flirting with the man.
Wu Ruian smiled and said noncommittally, "Miss Qingqing, please sit down."
Zhu Qingqing deliberately sat down next to Wu Ruian.
"Boss Wu," Zhu Qingqing held his arm and said without hesitation, "You are really discerning. "Warm Sun Shines" is a big IP, and the box office is guaranteed as soon as you hear the name."
"But," she continued: "You can see that you are someone who wants to make a lot of money. Which actor stars in the movie is still very important."
"Oh?" Wu Ruian looked modest, "What do you think Miss Qingqing has to say?"
"You should find two male and female leads who can carry the box office."
"The female lead has been decided to be Yan Yan," Wu Ruian replied.
Zhu Qingqing smiled slightly: "Yan Yan is good, but her company is not."
"How do you say it?" Wu Ruian asked.
"Her company is too small and has insufficient financial resources, and subsequent publicity efforts cannot keep up. If you insist on using her, the revenue of this film will definitely be far different from expected."
Then he added: "You should cooperate with big brokerage companies like Ruihui and Xingyao, so that all aspects of publicity can keep up."
Wu Ruian sighed: "The actors in Ruihui and Xingyao are certainly good, but they are all big names, so I probably can't afford them."
"Their company is not all big names, there are many potential stocks," Zhu Qingqing winked: "I wonder what Boss Wu thinks of me?"
"Are you from Ruihui?"
"I'm from Xingyao. I'm very familiar with Mr. Yang. If I can play the female lead, Mr. Yang will definitely match a top-notch female lead."
Fu Yuan'er heard this in the room and was furious. She didn't expect that Zhu Qingqing was not only deeply involved in her career, but also very scheming.
Frankly speaking, if Fu Yuan'er were to change places and stand in Wu Ruian's perspective, she would also hope that the funds invested would be returned.
Wu Ruian looked enlightened: "So this is Mr. Yang's intention."
A trace of pride flashed across Zhu Qingqing's face: "The projects Mr. Yang has done are all used as industry benchmarks, and there is no precedent for losing money."
Wu Ruian nodded, "I think your idea is good."
"Boss Wu, have you agreed?" Zhu Qingqing asked expectantly.
"The actress who will play the female lead will be announced at the reception later. Let's announce it in public."
"Boss Wu, you are so great!" Zhu Qingqing was ecstatic, hugged his neck and kissed him.
Fu Yuan'er's heart sank. What's going on? Has the choice of the female lead changed now?
But think about it, the female lead in Yan Yan’s last drama was also Cheng Yiming in just a few words, wasn’t it?
"Miss Qingqing, you are too enthusiastic." Wu Ruian pushed Zhu Qingqing away without leaving any trace, "You go to the reception first, I will prepare it."
Zhu Qingqing left gracefully.
Fu Yuan'er hesitated and wanted to go out. At this time, the door to the room was pushed open again, and Cheng Yiming walked in.
Wu Ruian asked straight to the point: "Xingyao's Mr. Yang wants Zhu Qingqing to play the female lead. Do you know about this?"
Cheng Yiming said nothing.
Fu Yuan'er secretly cursed "scumbag"!
Why didn't he insist on Wu Ruian and say that he had signed a contract with Yan Yan!
"Ruian," Wu Bing hurriedly walked in and said, "I have asked someone to check Mr. Yang's background. He has great influence in the industry. He can make money from any project he is involved in. The projects that make him unhappy are not going anywhere until now."
No one came out!"
After listening to his words, Fu Yuan'er also remembered that she had interviewed Mr. Yang.
His status in the industry was already very high at that time, but he didn't expect it to be even more terrifying now.
"We can't afford to offend Mr. Yang!" Wu Bing reminded Wu Ruian seriously.
Wu Ruian looked at Cheng Yiming with a solemn expression, "The contract is in your hands, you make the decision."
Cheng Yiming put one hand on the sofa, gently clenched it into a fist, and beat it slowly.
He was hesitating and pondering.
"The reception has already started, and in ten minutes it will be announced who the female lead will be." Wu Bing was very anxious.
Although there is a precedent of changing actresses after the official announcement, that is not a good thing after all.
"Isn't Mr. Cheng afraid that I'll lose money?" Wu Ruian said indifferently, "Since the contract has been handed over to you, I'm not afraid of losing money."
"But if we offend Mr. Yang, we won't be able to hang out in this circle in the future," Wu Bing was very worried. "We're not afraid. The worst we can do is go back to the south, but Mr. Cheng, your roots are in City A."
Cheng Yiming made a decision: "I know what to do, and no one will suffer."
After saying that, Cheng Yiming turned and left.
Fu Yuan'er walked out annoyed, unable to say a word.
"Miss Fu," Wu Ruian shrugged helplessly: "Do you understand the story behind this movie now?"
This circle is full of weird things, and things that you can imagine or can't imagine will happen.
"So, if Yan Yan comes to the reception with great joy, not only will she be hit by a temporary change of roles, but she will also be severely ridiculed, right?" Fu Yuan'er asked.
Wu Ruian sighed: "It was my intention to let Yan Yan play the leading female role, but the contract is in the hands of Cheng Yiming, so some things are not my final say."
He added, "But in order to comfort Yan Yan, I can use the money to invest in dramas."
Fu Yuan'er sneered: "Do you think Yan Yan just wants to act?"
Forget it, no matter how much you talk to her, she won't be able to change anything. She should just do what she can.
After Fu Yuan'er left, Wu Bing wiped the sweat from his forehead and complained to Wu Ruian: "If I had known this, you wouldn't have sold the contract to Cheng Yiming as the number one female lead. Are we still afraid of him?"
Wu Ruian smiled enigmatically: "If I don't sell the contract to him, wouldn't I be the one suffering now?"
Wu Bing was stunned and didn't understand what it meant.
"If I had signed Yan Yan, the pressure from Mr. Yang and Mr. Li would have directly acted on me. I would have been the one to announce in public that the number one female lead was changed from Yan Yan to Zhu Qingqing, and I would have become
The person Yan Yan hates the most."
But now, "Cheng Yiming, the person who changed the contract, Yan Yan will be sad and hate Cheng Yiming."
And if he goes to comfort Yan Yan at this time, wouldn't it have the effect of providing help in times of need?
Wu Bing looked at Wu Ruian in surprise: "Ruian, are you serious about that female actor?"
"When did I say I wanted to have fun?" Wu Ruian's eyes turned cold, "You remember, her name is Yan Yan, she is an actress, not an actor."
