Chapter 109. Meeting with Writer Zhen"Am I looking fine?"
"Why are you asking me that? I think I should ask you that question."
Ren said as he let out a small laugh as he looked at White bear who was wearing a suit today.
He was really looking cute and round in the suit. It was not everyday that he will wear a suit, so White bear was looking handsome today.
"Well, we are meeting with Well production today. They are a big production house, I can"t look shabby in front of them."
"It"s not like they will eat you up or something."
"It"s not only Well production, there would be Director Jang and Writer Zhen too. I had heard that Director Jang was an amiable person but the same can"t be said about Writer Zhen."
"Why? Is Writer Zhen hard to deal with?"
Ren said with a confused expression. The only thing he had heard about Writer Zhen was that he was one of the top writers in the industry who had written many hit movies and dramas.
"Well, he is more resolute, I think. There had been rumours that if he didn"t like an actor, he will not let him in his drama. He is really resolute about his work."
"So, it looks like we will have to be on guards against him."
Ren said as he smiled and White bear nodded as he replied.
"Yeah, be careful and respectful towards him."
While talking, Ren and White bear reached the Well production office and they were led to the third floor where the meeting was going to be held.
As soon as they entered the room, all the eyes were on Ren. Many people were staring at him, trying to see through him but Ren just kept his calm as he said.
"Nice to meet you all. My name is Xin Ren."
He was very respectful in his att.i.tude and several people nodded when they saw that.
After some greetings and small talks, the meeting finally started.
"What do Mr. Xin think about our drama?"
The question was asked by a man with brown hair. Ren had already heard about him. He was General Manager Su of Well production.
Besides him were Director Jang who had a rough beard and Writer Zhen who was just staring at Ren since he had entered the room.
There were also some employees who were sitting in the back.
"Well, I think it will be a great drama. I read the script and the detailing was really vivid and since the drama has many charming characters, I think the audience would like it."
Ren answered the question by describing all the good points of the drama he can think of.
He didn"t forget to praise the writing and the script and General Manager Su and others were nodding their heads after hearing his answer.
They asked some more questions and Ren answered them to his best ability.
Besides him White bear was smiling and the employees from Well Production were also smiling hearing his answers.
"What will you do if I say that you would be better for the second male lead role instead of the male lead?"
As they were talking, Writer Zhen who was silent till now suddenly asked.
Ren was surprised for a moment but he quickly answered him.
"That would not be a problem at all. I already said that I wanted to do the script because of the characters and I liked all the characters in it. I don"t mind playing the second lead role."
"What will you say if I told you to take an audition for the role?"
"That would not be a problem at all."
Ren said confidently. He originally has no problem taking the audition.
In the industry, many top stars would not take auditions for their role and they will play the character without any audition.
Although it was not a good thing, it was already the stereotype for top actors and actresses.
But Ren didn"t thought much about the auditions. If Writer Zhen wanted him to take the audition, he was fine with it.
"That"s fine then."
Writer Zhen said as he nodded his head and Ren finally got his approval.
After that, there was nothing much left. General Manager Su asked them about the dates and the overseas shooting schedule.
They also talked about the overseas release and the other actors and actresses.
"Our drama has already sold the overseas broadcasting rights to K-net in Korea and s.h.i.+ba TV in j.a.pan. The drama will release at the same time in China, Korea, j.a.pan, Hong kong and Taiwan."
"That"s great."
"Mr. Xin don"t have any problem speaking Korean, right as there would be some scenes there."
"No, I had learned Korean. So, I don"t think I will have any problems."
Ren had originally leaned Korean and English in his previous life as those days, all the actors and actresses were learning it to gain recognition in the overseas market.
"That"s great then. I had heard that «The stars above» was going to be released in Korea. Is it true?"
"Yes, it"s true. Actually Arc production had already talked about it with a public network there. They will be broadcasting the drama there soon."
Due to CEO Xu, Arc production CEO w.a.n.g was able to contact some Korean broadcasting stations and after they knew about the ratings the drama received in China, they hurriedly approved of it.
«The stars above» will now be broadcasting in Korea starting next month.
It was a hard to believe thing for Ren.
"That"s great. I hope our drama can be as successful as «The stars above». We hope Mr. Xin can act like he did in it."
"You don"t have to worry about it. I will do my best, General Manager Su."
"Yes, yes, I will take you on it. Let"s achieve great ratings with our drama too."
General Manager Su said as he laughed and that"s how, Ren was officially cast as the male lead in «Heirs».
{Xin Ren"s new drama «Heirs». The young and upcoming star will now play as the male lead in CTS new drama.}
{Will Xin Ren"s new drama «Heirs» will able to surpa.s.s the record breaking ratings of «The stars above»}

{Will Xin Ren win the best debut award in the upcoming award shows? Many people are debating over it online.}
{Xin Ren next dram A gamble or a right choice? It will all be revealed in the first episode of «Heirs».}
That"s how Xin Ren"s name was again on the real-time search rankings.
