Chapter 952: Little Pains, Great Gains
Yuan Keqing didn’t explain it to her so clearly.
She had asked Yuan Keqing these questions.
But Yuan Keqing didn’t really want to provide a role for Guo Saisai, so how could she say anything specific?
She just let Meng Fanzhen fool her.
Now that Meng Fanzhen heard her questions, she said, “Are you making things difficult for me? We all know that even if you have the resources and the backing, you still have to see if there is a suitable drama.”
“Since we promised Ms. Guo all these, we can’t just randomly find a drama for her, is it?” Meng Fanzhen said with a smile, “You have to pick a decent and good script. To tell you the truth, when Ms. Yuan thought of this, she immediately went to ask. She didn’t have any suitable scripts. Nowadays, good directors, good scriptwriters, and good production scripts are hard to come by. It would already be good if we could find one or two within a year. Therefore, it’s not easy to find it right away.”
“But don’t worry. Ms. Yuan and I have been keeping an eye on it. As soon as we have a good script, we will act immediately,” said Meng Fanzhen, “I guarantee that we will definitely give Ms. Guo a script and a role that she will be satisfied with.”
Chen Jiangling sneered on the other end of the phone. She thought to herself, how could Yuan Keqing give up such a good chance herself and give it to Guo Saisai?
If Yuan Keqing had the ability, she would be able to s.n.a.t.c.h any scripts she saw. How could she have delayed until now and only managed to s.n.a.t.c.h the second female lead in a small web drama?
Guo Saisai was also a mediocre actress in the s...o...b..z.
She was a supporting actress who had never acted in a big hit drama. She often appeared in web dramas and acted as the second female lead. Occasionally, she had the opportunity to appear on TV shows.
Although she had appeared in some big hit shows a few times, there were not many scenes of her.
The scenes were all for those popular artists.
Even if her scenes were filmed, the post-production team would edit the show so that the time would be allocated to some more famous artists.

Therefore, Guo Saisai could act as the second female lead, which meant that the investment and the cast for Moon s.h.i.+nes Over the River were at the average level.
That was why it was Guo Saisai’s turn to act.
If Yuan Keqing was so capable, why didn’t she get a better script for herself?
Why did she come to s.n.a.t.c.h Guo Saisai’s second female lead?
As far as she knew, during the filming of Moon s.h.i.+nes Over the River, the second season of Broken Continent and The Past of the Grand Courtyard were also being filmed.
The Broken Continent was already a super IP, needless to say.
It was said that Kefeng Videos intended to export the Broken continent internationally.
The Past of the Grand Courtyard was a popular drama co-produced by famous directors, actors, and scriptwriters.
If Yuan Keqing was so capable, why didn’t she join the cast of Broken Continent and The Past of the Grand Courtyard?
Only a fool would believe Meng Fanzhen’s empty promise.
Although there were no good scripts currently being filmed or waiting to be filmed, it did not mean that Yuan Keqing could arrange for them if they were available in the future.
Besides, Guo Saisai already had a good script.
It could be said that it was the best script in the mainland entertainment industry right now, and nothing could compare to it.
Unless it competed with those in the film industry like Sun Yiwu, Ji Cheng, and Wu Mosen.
“Alright, I’ll pa.s.s it on,” Chen Jiangling said. “I’ll contact you when I get a reply from Ms. Guo.”
“Then you have to hurry up!” Meng Fanzhen said worriedly, “How long will you need to think about it?”
“I don’t know. I’ll try my best. I’ll definitely reply to you as soon as possible.” Chen Jiangling looked very troubled. “After all, I can’t make Ms. Guo’s decision.”
“Is half an hour enough?” Meng Fanzhen wanted to say 10 minutes, but she also felt that 10 minutes was not reasonable.
She thought that half an hour should be enough. Anyway, things had already developed to this extent.
There would be no problem as long as it could be resolved tonight.
However, Chen Jiangling still did not give a definite answer. Instead, she said, “I’ll try my best.”
“Sister Chen, this matter is really urgent. You must reply as soon as possible,” said Meng Fanzhen.
“Okay.” Chen Jiangling agreed with a smile on her face.
After hanging up the phone, she rolled her eyes at Guo Saisai.
Meng Fanzhen didn’t know that she was at Guo Saisai’s house right now.
When she heard Meng Fanzhen say that they could negotiate, she put her phone on speakerphone and asked Guo Saisai to listen together.
Guo Saisai didn’t make a sound the whole time, afraid that Meng Fanzhen would hear her voice.
However, when she heard Yuan Keqing’s words, she couldn’t help rolling her eyes.
“You heard it.” Chen Jiangling spread her hands to Guo Saisai, “I think Yuan Keqing is trying to take advantage of us. She lied and made you help her first. The promise of providing a script or a role would be nonsense.”
“Don’t say that she lied to me. Even if it’s true and she didn’t lie to me, I can’t agree to it.” Guo Saisai was so angry that her face became tense, “Which part of the online expose is fake? It’s all true!”
“She stole my role and kicked me out of the production team.” Guo Saisai with red eyes and clenched his teeth for a while before he endured it, “Sister Chen, I will never forget the humiliation of being kicked out of the production team that day. It happened in front of so many people in the production team, at the time when I just arrived and already finished my makeup.”
“But Yuan Keqing came. Before the filming started, I was informed that I had been replaced. I don’t need to act anymore.” Guo Saisai choked with sobs.
She sniffed a few times, blinked, and raised her fingers to wipe away the tears that had just fallen.
“The makeup artist removed my wig. He didn’t even remove my makeup before he went to help Yuan Keqing.” Guo Saisai sniffed and said, “If my acting isn’t good, they replace me with someone better than me. I admit it. My acting isn’t as good as others. It’s my fault.”
“But I watched the drama yesterday. What kind of rubbish is Yuan Keqing acting? ! The crew would rather spend more time and money to reshoot the drama and chase me away,” Guo Saisai said angrily, “I haven’t forgotten either. When Yuan Keqing first came to the crew and saw me, she looked down on me with an arrogant look. The way she looked at me was full of the impression that I was a defeated opponent.”
“She was the one who forcefully s.n.a.t.c.hed the role from me. There’s nothing wrong with the rumor online. Based on what she did, why should I agree with her? “It’s not like I don’t have any dramas to shoot. Even if I can’t be the female lead, so what if I keep acting as the second female lead? It’s fine as long as I have scenes to shoot.”
“Besides, you’re going to shoot the third season of Broken Continent.” Chen Jiangling said happily, “Could Yuan Keqing introduce a better series than the Broken Continent?”
“Tan Mo said that she will continue writing the script for the third season. The director will Tan Jinqi and the actors will be the original cast. As long as all these things remain unchanged, there will only be benefits for you to act in the third season,” Chen Jiangling said, “At the beginning, Xu Miaotong was only a second-tier actress. When she started filming the first season of Broken Continent, no one took it seriously.”
