Chapter 276: Saving the Paranoid and Vengeful Business Leader 20
After Ji Xingyan gave the order, Special Assistant Xu did not dare to delay and immediately went to the computer to look up the information of "Wen Yang".
After a while, he printed out everything he found out and handed it to Ji Xingyan.
Ji Xingyan looked at the thin pieces of paper, his eyebrows slightly raised, "Is that all?"
Special Assistant Xu nodded. "These are her basic information, as well as photos of the brands she has endorsed."
"Also, she filmed a web drama a while ago, which we also invested in. It's called "Golden Branches" and she plays the second female lead, the princess."
After hearing what Special Assistant Xu said, Ji Xingyan remembered that he had gone to the Dragon Banquet before. It seemed that it was invited by several online drama investors. At that time, he did meet Wen Yang at that meeting.
Ji Xingyan pondered for a moment and then said, "Okay, go out and do your work first. I'll call you if there's anything else."
"Okay..." Special Assistant Xu put the information in his hand on Ji Xingyan's desk and went out.
After Special Assistant Xu left, Ji Xingyan immediately opened the webpage and typed in the three words "Holding the Golden Branch".
Soon, he found the drama.
Ji Xingyan casually clicked on the first episode and soon saw the scene where Wen Yang appeared.
Although the woman in the picture is dressed elegantly and appropriately, with her head adorned with pearls and jade, she does not have the slightest bit of the noble temperament of a princess. Moreover, no matter who she meets or what happens, she always has the same expression. It can be said that she has no acting skills at all.
Many viewers shared this sentiment. For example, the first comment that popped up on Ji Xingyan's screen read: "The actress playing the princess is terrible at acting. No matter what happens, she just stares, not even afraid of her eyeballs popping out."
Ji Xingyan couldn't agree more with the comment on the comment board. How could such a poor actress get the second female lead role in Zheng Ming's movie? There must be something wrong.
Just as Ji Xingyan was about to close the video website, a comment suddenly appeared in front of him: [Those who criticized the second female lead earlier, go watch the end of episode 35. After watching it, you will think that the second female lead's acting is amazing!]
This barrage of comments made Ji Xingyan pause as he was about to close the webpage. After thinking for a few seconds, he somehow clicked on episode 35 and directly dragged the progress bar to the back.
The 35th episode of "Golden Branch" is the one where Wen Yang finished filming.
On the screen, Wen Yang was standing in a vast snowfield. A layer of white snow had accumulated on his head, and his slightly messy hair was swaying gently in the cold wind. Although his makeup was pale, coupled with the complex expression on his face, one could actually see a hint of grief hidden behind the character.
Especially when Wen Yang started speaking later, the rich emotions contained in the lines surprised Ji Xingyan.
As the plot progresses, the princess utters her final farewell words. Snowflakes fall, and the pink figure falls to the ground, without a sound...
It wasn't until he heard Lu Lianchuan's voice on the TV that Ji Xingyan came back to his senses.
What a close call! It was such a short clip, but he was completely entranced! And he suddenly felt a bit distressed...
Realizing this, Ji Xingyan almost immediately closed the webpage and took a deep breath.
And once again confirmed his thoughts, this woman is really dangerous...
Shu Ran must have been deceived by the appearance this woman pretended to be. He must find a way to expose her hypocrisy himself.
Thinking of this, Ji Xingyan called someone to discuss it.
After hanging up, he called Zheng Ming again.
Zheng Ming on the other end of the phone was discussing the subsequent plot changes with the screenwriter when the phone suddenly rang. He didn't want to answer it, but when he saw that the caller ID was Ji Xingyan, he immediately took the phone and left the meeting room.
Pressing the answer button, Zheng Ming's tone was a little surprised, "Mr. Ji, why did you call in person?"
Ji Xingyan didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "I heard that the second female lead in the movie is an actress named Wen Yang?"
Zheng Ming was stunned when he heard this, and then replied: “Yes, I was selected through the audition today, what’s the matter?”
After hearing Zheng Ming's answer, Ji Xingyan was silent for a moment.
Seeing Ji Xingyan silent, Zheng Ming asked with some confusion: "Is there something wrong with this person? Does he need to be replaced?"
Ji Xingyan wanted to say directly that there was a problem, but suddenly remembered that he had just promised Xue Shuran that he would not use his rights to change the cast, so he suppressed the idea in his mind.
He replied calmly, "Nothing, just a casual question." Then he changed the subject, "By the way, have the actors for this movie been decided? If not, I'd like to recommend someone to you."
"Who?"
"Liang Runcheng."
Director Zheng, who was standing in the aisle and making a phone call, widened his eyes when he heard Ji Xingyan's reply.
As one of the most popular handsome young actors today, Liang Runcheng has countless fans. Moreover, Liang Runcheng's acting skills are also very delicate and outstanding. He has participated in several domestic TV series before, and the ratings were very high.
So when considering the male lead, Zheng Ming first thought of Liang Runcheng. However, when he contacted Liang Runcheng's agent, he was told that Liang Runcheng had already been scheduled for two months, so he declined to participate in the film.
Zheng Ming said uncertainly: "But I contacted him before, and his agent said he didn't have time..."
"It's okay, don't worry about it. I just called him and he said he could temporarily put aside all other work and come over to act in 'Red Mark of a Beautiful Face'."
"That's great! I was just worried about who to play the male lead. Now I don't have to worry about it anymore, hahaha!" Hearing Ji Xingyan's affirmative answer, Zheng Ming's voice revealed a cheerful joy.
But then Ji Xingyan said something that puzzled him, "Director Zheng, Liang Runcheng is not here to play the male lead."
"Zheng Ming was stunned when he heard this. He just thought that Ji Xingyan brought Liang Runcheng here just to play a supporting role with his sister Xue Shuran, but he didn't expect that it wasn't the case?
So Zheng Ming asked, "If Liang Runcheng doesn't play the male lead, what will he play?"
"Let him play the second male lead."
"But the second male lead doesn't have many scenes..." Zheng Ming's tone was a little hesitant.
When he invited Leung Yun-shing before, he hoped that Leung Yun-shing could play the male lead, but Leung Yun-shing was busy with other work at the time so he refused. Now that he has finally been invited, he still hopes that Leung Yun-shing can play the male lead.
"It's just right that he doesn't have many scenes, Director Zheng. Even though he's postponed all his work, he can't postpone it for too long... If he can't play the second male lead, he might not be able to participate..."
As soon as Ji Xingyan said this, Zheng Ming immediately understood what he meant.
"Okay, fine, then let's do as you say. Let him be the second male lead. I'll have the staff contact his company to confirm it now."
"Okay, Director Zheng, thank you for your hard work." Ji Xingyan curled the corners of his lips slightly.
"No, no, I also want to thank Mr. Ji for convincing Liang Runcheng on my behalf. Then, we'll have a good publicity stunt!"
"Okay, I won't bother you here for now."
"it is good."
After the pleasantries, Ji Xingyan hung up the phone.
After a while, Ji Xingyan's phone rang again.
