Gu Weiwei smiled and shook hands with Yi An.
“Thanks.”
The executive director watched the audition films twice and said to the casting director next to him.
“Lee, didn’t you say that Mu Weiwei is just a popular figure on the internet and has no skills in acting?”
“Without a martial arts director’s help, she has performed such excellent scenes and her emotion is so well controlled. So she is not skilled?”
“I…”
The casting director had no words to respond with. Mu Weiwei did perform a very perfect scene and he had nothing else to say.
“She will have the role.” The executive director said with a smile.
The casting director had just thought of how he had promised Shen Qiu the contract. “She did perform well, but she is a new person, she is not as popular as Shen Qiu!”
“She is a good seed, and it does not matter if she is new.” The executive director was very impressed by Gu Weiwei’s performance skills.
These days, Yi An had been very annoyed by the actress playing the female lead.
If he had found the person who performed Tang Shaoqi, he might not make a big fuss anymore.
Yi An and the executive director were just talking with Gu Weiwei and Jolin when a young elegant-looking man came over with an a.s.sistant.
“Yi, Director Mo and Director Lee, good to see you here.”
“Chu Chen, it’s good that you are here.” Yi An pointed at Gu Weiwei and said, “This is Mu Weiwei who is going to be playing Tang Shaoqi, and soon you will be in the same team. Try to get to know each other.”
Mu Weiwei stretched out her hand to him. “Nice to see you, I am Mu Weiwei.”
Chu Chen looked at her but asked, without shaking her hand, “Director Yi, didn’t you say that Shen Qiu is going to play Tang Shaoqi?”
Yi An got annoyed. “Who said so?”
“Shen Qiu and I share the same company and she just called me and said that she will soon be taking the role! Her agent has started to make the schedule!” Chu Chen said.
“The audition has just finished, who said that it would be her?” Yi An looked at the casting director who had seen her off just now.
“Director Yi… I asked Shen Qiu to give us the schedule.” The casting director said guiltily.
Everyone had been very satisfied by Shen Qiu’s audition, but Mu Weiwei had arrived unexpectedly.
“Director Yi, you know how well Shen Qiu can play, she is definitely better than a new person. Now she has given us her schedule, so if you want someone else…” Chu Chen was on the verge of laughing when he stopped himself.
Yi An became very annoyed – Shen Qiu did give a good performance, but she was far worse than Mu Weiwei.
Seeing Yi An hesitating, Chu Chen said with a smile, “I once acted with Shen Qiu before and shooting with her would make everything smooth. Miss. Mu is a bit too young to play Tang Shaoqi.”
“What if I told you that Tang Shaoqi will be played by Mu Weiwei?!” Yi An said.
“I am afraid that I can not… play the role if I have to play with a new woman.” Chu Chen said.
His last movie was so popular that every fan of the original book said that he fitted the male lead character.
They had offered him many rich conditions just to get him to play the role.
So if he insisted, Tang Shaoqi would definitely become Shen Qiu’s role.
After all, they couldn’t just lose him for the sake of a new person.
Gu Weiwei’s lips pursed, she could see how troubled Yi An was.
Yi An was satisfied by her performance skills, but Chu Chen insisted on giving the role to Shen Qiu.
Apart from her performance skills, one would need background and social networks in the entertainment industry too. It seemed that she would lose the role after all.
“If you can’t play the role, then let me do it.”
A good-looking man with silver, grey hair leaned against the door, looking both handsome and flirty.
