Chapter 137. Finalising"I know that you think that Xiao Rin would not be suitable for the role as it"s a important role and she is still too inexperienced."
Ren said as looked at President Tang and the employees of Grave films who had come with him.
"Yes, I think it would be better to go with a more experienced and popular actress as the female lead."
President Tang replied back.
He was slightly interested in how Ren would try to convince him.
He has heard many things about him but it was the first time he was seeing him.
People were calling him the next big star but President Tang truly wondered if he can be the next big star.
"First of all, it"s a musical drama, so there would be actual songs in which the leads will act together but what if the leads can also sing the songs?"
President Tang raised one of his eyebrows when he heard that.
There were also some whispers around the room.
"But that"s only possible if the leads are singers or know how to sing."
"Yes and Xiao Rin was once learning singing in preparation to becoming a idol. Although she can"t be compared to top singers, her voice is good and she knows the basics."
Ren was saying that because in his previous life, Xiao Rin has also ventured into the singing industry.
Although she was not soulful like Lin Ru or other singers, her voice modulation was quite good and her alb.u.ms has broken records because of her fans.
"That"s true."
CEO Xu said as she agreed with him too.
"But that will mean that you will also be singing the songs as the male lead."
President Tang asked.
"Yes, unfortunately I will be singing the songs too. Although, I will take proper cla.s.ses to get into the zone."
It was not like Ren"s voice was bad or he can"t sing. He has just never tried it before.
When he was featured in a song with Lin Ru, he was also offered to debut as a singer but Ren has refused at that time.
He has gotten a musician"s image because of that one incident.
He can use it well here.
That"s why, when Ying Yue has asked him about this matter, Ren has agreed without any arguments.
Him taking singing lessons can also be good footage for the reality TV show they were preparing.
"Although the idea is good but we can find other actresses like that. There are actresses like Li Xinru who can act as the female lead. Her voice is really good too and she knows how to sing."
President Tang was right.
Although it was a good reason, it was just not enough to convince him.
"I know, that"s why I have another reason for it."
Ren has already thought of another reason to convince him.
"Sorry, I am late."
At that moment, the door to the meeting room suddenly opened and a fat chubby man entered the room.
There was a smile on his face as he greeted everyone.
"Who is this?"
President Tang asked.
"He is Producer Qian, he works as a producer in CTS and my second reason also involves him."
Top star entertainment has earlier contacted CTS broadcasting station with the proposal of a reality TV show.
Their higher ups has shown the potential of it in first glance and they have agreed to it.
CEO Xu and Director Zhao even have a meeting with them regarding it and they have finalised Producer Qian as the main producer of it.
Ren has also met him once before when he has visited CTS"s office.
"I don"t understand. Why is a producer from CTS here?"
"That"s because we are planning to make a reality TV show."
"A reality TV show?"
"Yes."
Ren went on to explain about all of it and how they will use the hype from the reality TV show to make the project a success.
The more President Tang heard about it, the more impressed he became.
He thought it was a great idea to make the movie a success.
People would be more curious about the project if they will watch the reality TV show, it was a great way for promoting the project and creating hype around it.
"But how will Xiao Rin being the female lead contradict with the reality TV show?"
Although, he felt that the idea was good, he still didn"t knew why Xiao Rin being the female lead will be beneficial to the project.
That"s why, Ren went on to explain his reasoning.
"We are creating a reality TV show here and that needs drama and Xiao Rin"s story will give the show a major boost and will even improve the image of our project."
"How?"
"Do you remember that Xiao Rin was bullied in the past?"
"Yes, there was some news regarding it."
An employee from Grave films said as he scrolled around in the tablet.
He was probably searching for news about it.
"Yes, but it was never elaborated about what and how it happened actually. We can use it as a footage."
Ren said as he stared at President Tang. He didn"t knew if he will be convinced or not.
"Yes, we can show it as Xin Ren helping her to fight against the bullying. It will be easy with some editing."
"Yes, I think we can use that and because they are from the same company, there would be more on interesting stories and we will use that as footage."
Thankfully, both CEO w.a.n.g and Producer Qian added some weight to his story.
People will easily be immersed in that sort of real life drama and they will use that.
"Ummm, your idea is good."
President Tang said as he started searching for information about Xiao Rin on the internet.
He was still sceptical about but truly, he didn"t wanted to lose out such a great investment opportunity.
That"s why, after some thinking, he finally said.
"Okay, let"s go with Xiao Rin as the female lead and Xin Ren as the male lead. Let"s finalise the project now."
That was how, the deal was finalised.
