Quick Wear: The Rescue Plan of the Male Supporting Actor of the Popular Cannon Fodder

Chapter 275: Saving the Paranoid and Vengeful Business Leader 19

Not long after the two of them sat down in the conference room, Director Zheng, the producer, and the screenwriter came in.

"Congratulations to both of you for becoming the leading actors of our 'Red Mark of Beauty'." Zheng Ming was the first to congratulate with a smile.

"The leading actor?" Wen Yang was a little confused.

"Yes, that's right. We have decided to let you play the second female lead." Zheng Ming nodded.

Yu Wei, who was standing by, opened her mouth into an 'O' shape in surprise when she heard this. She originally thought that Wen Yang was lucky to get a small role, but she didn't expect that he would get the second female lead!

Wen Yang was stunned when she heard Zheng Ming's words. She tentatively asked, "Is the role I got Rao Fengxian?"

The screenwriter beside him interrupted to explain, "Yes, originally Rao Fengxian didn't have many scenes, but Director Zheng felt that you brought the character to life, so he decided on the spur of the moment to have me change the role's role and let Rao Fengxian play the film's second female lead."

Even Wen Yang was shocked when these words came out. She murmured, "Female No. 2..."

Zheng Ming looked at Wen Yang's stunned expression and jokingly asked, "Why, no confidence?"

Hearing Zheng Ming ask this, Wen Yang immediately came back to his senses, a smile appeared on his lips, and he said in a firm tone: "Of course."

So Zheng Ming smiled with satisfaction.

So the next few people discussed the contract details, remuneration and working hours in the conference room.

The screenwriter then talked to Wen Yang and Xue Shuran about the currently determined characters and some basic plots, and said that he would send the complete electronic version of the script to their email addresses after it was finalized.

The official shooting is scheduled to start in two months.

So the contract was signed smoothly.

After signing the contract, Zheng Ming stood up and extended his hand. "I'm very much looking forward to working with you two. I hope we can create an unforgettable work together!"

Wen Yang and Xue Shuran also stood up and shook hands with Zheng Ming.

After the pleasantries, the two walked out of the meeting room with their respective contracts.

At this time, Wen Yang finally found an opportunity to speak. She said to Xue Shuran beside her, "Since we are going to shoot the same movie next, would you like to add me as your contact?"

Xue Shuran did not refuse Wen Yang's suggestion. She readily took out her mobile phone, scanned the QR code and added Wen Yang as a friend.

She still had some confidence in her intuition. In the entertainment industry, some people would make her feel inexplicably uncomfortable just by getting a little close to them, and later on, various things proved that those people's character was indeed not very good. Lu Qinqin was a good example.

But when she came into contact with Wen Yang, she did not feel uncomfortable. On the contrary, she felt inexplicably relaxed when she was with Wen Yang.

Moreover, judging from Director Zheng's attitude towards Wen Yang just now, Wen Yang should also be a good actor who focuses on acting. Just based on the audition, she was able to make Director Zheng and the screenwriter rewrite her role. She must have unique and outstanding acting skills. For such a person, Xue Shuran decided to temporarily put aside her previous prejudice and rely on her own actual understanding before making a final conclusion about Wen Yang.

However, if my brother suddenly found out that he and Wen Yang were acting on the same stage, he would probably be devastated...

So after coming out of the elevator of Zhengtian Building, Xue Shuran left first on the pretext that he had something else to do.

After separating from Wen Yang, Xue Shuran stopped a car on the side of the road. After getting in, she thought about it and decided to tell Ji Xingyan about her audition today.

So she sent a message to Ji Xingyan.

【Brother, I have good news for you! 】

Ji Xingyan was originally looking at the documents in his hand. When he saw the message pop up on his private mobile phone in front of him, his originally slightly cold face instantly became gentler. He almost immediately put down the documents in his hand and replied to the message.

[Hmm? What good news?]

As soon as Special Assistant Xu saw Mr. Ji's expression, he knew that the message was from Mr. Ji's sister.

After all, President Ji only shows such a gentle expression when he sees news about his sister. To others, whether of the same sex or the opposite sex, he always has a cold and businesslike look. I wonder what kind of woman will be able to control a man like President Ji in the future...

Soon, Ji Xingyan received a reply from Xue Shuran on his mobile phone.

[Today I auditioned for Director Zheng Ming's film and got the female lead role!] Xue Shuran followed this with a smug little emoji.

[She's the female lead? That's really great news.]

Although he had just heard about this from Zheng Ming, Ji Xingyan still pretended to have just learned about it.

Although he had privately invested in this movie under other names, he had also told Zheng Ming in advance that he didn't need to pay too much attention to his investment. If he felt that Shu Ran was not suitable, then he didn't have to use her.

Therefore, Xue Shuran is able to get the role of the female lead now, indeed because of her own strength.

Just when Ji Xingyan was happy for Xue Shuran, he saw another message from Xue Shuran.

[Brother, there's something else I want to tell you. I ran into Wen Yang, the daughter of the Wen family, at the audition today...]

Special Assistant Xu was helping Ji Xingyan organize some documents on the table when he suddenly felt the temperature around him drop by several degrees.

Looking up, I found that Mr. Ji's face was as cold as ice, and his whole body was emitting a chill...

After seeing this message, Ji Xingyan did not type a reply, but called Xue Shuran directly.

The call was quickly picked up, and Ji Xingyan asked directly, "What happened? Did she not hurt you?"

When Xue Shuran heard Ji Xingyan's words on the other end of the phone, she knew that Ji Xingyan was worried about her, so she quickly comforted him: "It's okay, brother, don't be nervous. Wen Yang doesn't know my identity. She also went to the audition, so she ran into me there..."

Even after listening to Xue Shuran's explanation, Ji Xingyan's expression didn't warm up at all. He said coldly, "Don't get involved with her. Don't forget her last name."

Upon hearing this, Xue Shuran sighed and then recounted what Wen Yang had done to help her at the audition today.

Then he continued, "Brother, I understand your concerns, but I also have my own judgment. I don't think Wen Yang gives me the same impression you described. She is very serious and professional in acting. She was also selected by Director Zheng himself. I want to get along with her in person and see what kind of person she is."

"She was also chosen by Zheng Ming?" Ji Xingyan asked in disbelief. After all, in his impression, Wen Yang was not very outstanding in acting, and Zheng Ming was notoriously strict in selecting actors.

"Yes, she was chosen by Director Zheng to play the second female lead in the movie." Xue Shuran replied.

After hearing the news, Ji Xingyan on the other end of the phone was silent for three seconds.

Seeing Ji Xingyan remained silent, Xue Shuran continued, "Brother, this audition is fair. I'm telling you this now because I want to tell you in advance. You have to promise me that you won't secretly invest money to threaten Director Zheng to replace the second female lead!"

Ji Xingyan: “…”

"Promise me!" Seeing Ji Xingyan didn't say anything, Xue Shuran acted coquettishly.

"Okay, I promise you." Ji Xingyan had no choice but to speak helplessly.

"Thank you, brother~ That's it. I have something to do this afternoon, so I'll hang up first~"

"Ah."

After hanging up the phone, Ji Xingyan's face became even colder than before.

"Xu Zhen!"

When Special Assistant Xu heard Ji Xingyan suddenly call out his full name, he shuddered and asked quickly, "Boss Ji, is there anything I can help you with?"

"There's an actress named Wen Yang in the entertainment industry. Please help me find all the films she's made and show them to me."

"Ah?" Special Assistant Xu was stunned when he heard Ji Xingyan's request.

This was the first time that President Ji asked him to investigate a woman. Could it be that President Ji's spring was coming?

But when he looked at the expression on Mr. Ji's face, he became a little uncertain. After all, which man would grit his teeth when talking about his beloved woman... ?
