For the sake of the role, Yi Tian stifled her feelings. Her performance was very successful. Her wonderful acting skills crushed all of her opponents. If it was solely based on acting skills, Yi Tian would undoubtedly win first place.
After Yi Tian was done with her performance, she looked towards Ling Tianya, her eyes s.h.i.+ning provocatively.
The previous investor for Hunting Allure was Ruan Zeyan. With one word from Ling Tianya, her position as the female lead could easily be taken away. Therefore, before, Yi Tian had been fearful and nervous with her actions.
Now, it was different. The new investor was Zhi Ya Entertainment and Yi Tian was their hottest artist. If she was cast as the female lead, no matter how much authority Ling Tianya had, she would not be able to take away her role.
After all, the Weibo situation and the kidnapping situation had been a while ago, so Yi Tian wasn’t afraid that Ling Tianya would seek revenge after so long. As long as she acted properly and did not seek trouble with Ling Tianya, then everything would be fine.
Yi Tian’s acting skills were very well received by Director Kong and the others and there was a huge chance that Yi Tian would receive the role as the female lead.
“Screenwriter Ling, what do you think of Yi Tian’s performance?” Director Kong asked Ling Tianya.
“Her performance wasn’t bad,” Ling Tianya responded in a faint voice.
“Then it’s decided…..” Just as Director Kong was about to announce that Yi Tian had received the role, Ling Tianya spoke once again, “I’m afraid that everyone’s still going to have to wait a little bit.”
When Yi Tian, who had believed that she had won, heard Ling Tianya’s words, she became anxious and fearful.
“Where does Screenwriter Ling feel that I need improvement?” Yi Tian asked. “What part wasn’t good? I can do it over.”
Ling Tianya shook her head. “No, you did very well.”
“Then…” Yi Tian didn’t understand. No one else understood either. Since she performed very well, why wait?
Ling Tianya looked at Director Kong. “Director Kong, did you forget that I had the right of priority pick?” When Ling Tianya said this, the entire theatre went into an uproar. Ling Tianya had finally mentioned her right to priority pick.
Yi Tian’s eyes narrowed. Why was Ling Tianya mentioning her priority pick right now? Of everyone present, who was a better actor than her?
Director Kong furrowed his eyebrows. Recently, many artists under Zhi Ya Entertainment had been trying to get into contact with Ling Tianya but had been refused by her. She hadn’t been seen contacting any actors and had never mentioned her right to priority pick. He had believed that Ling Tianya had given that right up but that seemed not to be the case.
“Screenwriter Ling, I would like to remind you that priority pick only applies to artists listed to Zhi Ya Entertainment. If it is an artist from another company, then it won’t do,” Director Kong said.
“I am well aware of that.” Ling Tianya nodded. “The person I selected is definitely signed to Zhi Ya Entertainment.”
“Then….who is this person?” Director Kong asked, confused.
Everyone who was present was also baffled. They had all tried every method to get on Ling Tianya’s good side and they had all been rejected. Who was the person LIng Tianya selected?
Yi Tian frowned. She knew that the person Ling Tianya had selected was definitely not her, but who was stronger than she was?
In a film, one’s acting skills were the most important thing. If Ling Tianya randomly selected a person, even if she did have priority pick, Director Kong and the others wouldn’t agree. Thinking this, Yi Tian’s mind relaxed.
Everyone’s eyes were wide as they waited for Ling Tianya to announce her choice. Even Ruan Zeyan raised his head and his beautiful eyes stared at Ling Tianya.
Ling Tianya’s eyes looked in the direction of an unremarkable corner, and her voice was lucid, elegant and awe-inspiring as she said, “I choose…Guan Meiyi.”
