Chapter 247 - A Fool
Nie Li was not offended by Mo Li"s att.i.tude. She shrugged it off. In fact, Nie Li didn"t seem to care about the death of the other women as well.
When Mo Li saw this, her suspicion of Nie Li deepened. Nie Li looked too cavalier for someone who was stuck deep in the middle of these incidents.
Furthermore, the picture in Dong Yun"s desk was a picture from Mo Li"s actor profile. Therefore, it was definitely someone high ranking from Huan Yu who had given that picture to Dong Yun. Mo Li suspected that person was Nie Li.
...
When Tang Ze saw Mo Li for the first time, his eyes lit up. He thought Director Zhang exaggerated about Mo Li"s beauty but he was pleasantly surprised to realize that it was not the case. Initially he was worried that the current cast might not have enough appeal to draw in the box office. After all, he had poured everything he had into this project. Many people warned him that he was taking too big of a risk. But when he saw Mo Li in person, Tang Ze had a burst of confidence.
"With her face... And my directing, as well as a good producer, editor, and team..." In Tang Ze"s mind, he could already see Mo Li"s bright future under the spotlight.
Song Xin. The name still made his heart ache whenever he thought about it. He was going to use Mo Li to prove his capability and take that woman down a notch. I"m going to show her that I can flourish just as well without her!
"Everyone, this is Mo Li who will be playing Liu Ru, and that"s An Wan, who will be playing one of the 8 beauties of Qin Huai, Kou Baimen. We"re going to be in a same team from now on so remember to play nice!"
The producer, Li Hao clapped when he saw Mo Li and An Wan. "Wonderful, Miss Mo Li, you do look as beautiful as they say. I"m sure with your looks, it"s only a matter of time until you"re famous. But I need you to remember the responsibility you are shouldering. You will be competing with Song Xin so you better make sure your acting is up to par.
"And An Wan over there, we will use her to drum up hype for the movie. You were someone"s mistress and it was why you were shelved by the company, wasn"t it? When we remind people of that fact, they"ll start talking about the movie."
An Wan"s face paled immediately. She didn"t expect that her painful past would be used to generate hype.
"Just how lacking in confidence you must be that you need to rely on such tactics to grab the public"s attention?" Mo Li said coolly as she looked at the producer.
The producer was stunned by Mo Li"s rudeness before he roared right back in a sneering tone. "Who do you think you are to take that tone with me? You"re just a n.o.body. Let me tell you, you better show some respect to me or else you"ll end up shelved just like that woman!
"And I was giving you face earlier, praising you! Don"t let that get to your head! You are no compet.i.tion to Song Xin! I"m sure you haven"t heard of this but the judge of an international award said that there would not be another Song Xin for at least another decade! Get down from your high horse. If you know what"s good for you, you better listen to my orders!"
Nie Li chuckled when she looked at Li Hao. This man is quite interesting. He probably doesn"t know Mo Li is actually the young miss of the Mo Family. I wonder how he"ll react when he finds out the truth...
Tang Ze smiled. "Alright, Li Hao, you"re scaring the girls. One of them is innocent and sweet; while the other is beautiful and cold. They form a great contrast, the audience will eat them up."
"Right. But which male actor would act alongside them? One is a complete unknown and the other has been outdated for at least 4 years already. You must be mad to invest so much in these two." Li Hao mocked Tang Ze with disdain in his eyes.
"Actually if it"s possible, I wish for my brother to have a cameo in this movie." Mo Li said directly. After all Mo Zheng still had his fanbase. They would delighted if he made a cameo.
"Girl, have you lost your mind? We"re shooting a movie. Who is your brother? Is he a celebrity? Why would we allow a common man to appear before the camera?"
"Actually her elder brother is indeed a celebrity. He"s Jiang Yan." Nie Li waved at Li Hao. This was shaping up to be a great day, there was nothing more that she enjoyed than seeing people make a fool of themselves.
Tang Zi nodded and clapped. "That is a wonderful idea. Let Jiang Yan have a cameo and we"ll get He Yan from the company to play the second male lead. After we settle on the candidate for the first male lead, I"m sure the movie will take off!"
Li Hao"s face was green. What is the relations.h.i.+p between Mo Li and Jiang Yan? They"re siblings? And are these people crazy? They actually think He Yan, the heavy-hitter would agree to be a supporting actor to this newbie actor?!
