Yang Mimi blushed after hearing Director JiaРІР‚в„ўs words.
She had never performed a kissing scene before, but this time working with Ye Chen made her suddenly want to try it.
The next day, Ye Chen arrived at the set.
The scenes had all been set up, everything was ready, just waiting for Ye Chen to arrive.
Jia Rui was also very happy.
She believed that with Ye Chen playing the Eighth Prince, coupled with a few strong female actresses, this script was sure to be a hit.
Yang Mimi said, "Director Jia, I just got in touch with Ye Chen. HeРІР‚в„ўs on his way but thereРІР‚в„ўs a bit of a traffic jam."
"Alright, got it. As long as he can play the role, itРІР‚в„ўs fine."
Just then, footsteps were heard outside.
A pot-bellied man walked in.
Beside him was a very handsome young star.
Seeing the newcomer, Jia Rui quickly stood up: "President Hu, itРІР‚в„ўs you."
The young star next to President Hu brightened up upon seeing Yang Mimi.
Yang Mimi also felt the unfriendly gaze from the other, and couldnРІР‚в„ўt help but frown.
Hu Tian looked at Jia Rui and said, "Director Jia, the male lead hasnРІР‚в„ўt arrived yet, and youРІР‚в„ўre ready to start filming?"
Jia Rui frowned at the young star beside Hu Tian as well.
She already knew their intention.
Someone had recommended this young star to her a few days ago, but Jia Rui declined.
Today, the investor bringing him over was clearly finding a way in---applying pressure.
Although she was unhappy, this developer was someone Jia Rui couldnРІР‚в„ўt afford to offend.
After all, without investors, this series wouldnРІР‚в„ўt be filmed.
"President Hu, weРІР‚в„ўve already found a male lead," Jia Rui said with a placating smile.
Now that the script and everything were prepared, it was just a matter of starting the shoot.
Hearing that there was already a male lead, Hu Tian frowned.
"The male lead is still on the way and hasnРІР‚в„ўt arrived yet."
Upon hearing Jia RuiРІР‚в„ўs words, Hu Tian snorted coldly, "IРІР‚в„ўd like to know what kind of big star has such an ego, requiring an entire film crew and director to wait for him alone."
Jia Rui awkwardly smiled, "Actually, heРІР‚в„ўs not really a big star."
"What? Not a star? Are you kidding me? Do you think I lack money? IРІР‚в„ўve invested so much in this drama, and you tell me heРІР‚в„ўs not a star. Without fame, how does he qualify as the male lead?"
Jia Rui quickly explained, "I met this male lead by chance. I felt his image was very fitting for the male leadРІР‚в„ўs character in the drama, and heРІР‚в„ўs also very handsome with a great temperament. I assure you as a professional director, if he plays the male lead, it will definitely be a success."
However, Hu TianРІР‚в„ўs face turned grim, "So after all this, youРІР‚в„ўve chosen such a male lead. No matter how handsome he is, whatРІР‚в„ўs the use without fame? I want ratings; isnРІР‚в„ўt TV all about ratings now? Did you take a bribe?"
Jia RuiРІР‚в„ўs expression changed upon hearing this, "Absolutely not. I, Jia Rui, have always chosen based on merit, and would never take a bribe. I just truly feel heРІР‚в„ўs suitable for this drama."
Regarding this investor, Jia Rui had been enduring him for some time.
Relying on being an investor, he kept sticking his nose in, and now he even suspected her of taking bribes.
Hu Tian snorted coldly, "The male lead IРІР‚в„ўve already decided on is the popular star Chen Yu. He will be the male lead of this drama; his image seems just right to me."
Saying this, he said to Jia Rui, "HeРІР‚в„ўs my brother-in-law, has appeared on variety shows, and acted in online dramas. HeРІР‚в„ўs absolutely better than the random nonsense you picked off the street."
Jia Rui frowned at the other party as well.
She had once interviewed Chen Yu.
This boyРІР‚в„ўs acting was exaggerated, to the extent that it could even be said there was no acting skill at all.
If this drama allowed him to play this role, it would be ruined.
Jia Rui shook her head, "IРІР‚в„ўm sorry, President Hu, I canРІР‚в„ўt agree. He canРІР‚в„ўt handle this role."
Hearing Jia Rui actually refuse him, Hu TianРІР‚в„ўs brow furrowed, "What did you say? Are you refusing me? Do you think youРІР‚в„ўre the only director in the world? If I donРІР‚в„ўt invest, your series can go to hell."
Hu Tian was blatantly threatening Jia Rui, and the meaning was clear.
If his proposed male lead wasnРІР‚в„ўt used, he would simply withdraw the funding.
In the past, Hu Tian had made many excessive demands that Jia Rui endured, but this request was something she could not endure.
After all, the script for this drama was excellent, and she felt it could be a stepping stone for her to ascend to a higher level.
Using this actor with poor acting skills would ruin the entire series.
"President Hu, everything else is negotiable, but the male lead must be Ye Chen."
At this moment, Jia Rui also stood firm.
Hu Tian was furious, "My brother-in-law has at least hundreds of thousands of fans, has attended film training, has both looks and charm. Why canРІР‚в„ўt he do it?"
"No, he absolutely doesnРІР‚в„ўt meet my standards."
Hu Tian nodded, "Fine, IРІР‚в„ўd like to see just how handsome the protagonist youРІР‚в„ўve chosen is."
At that moment, accompanied by the roar of a sports car, a flashy Lykan HyperSport stopped at the entrance of the set.
"Lykan," Hu Tian was momentarily stunned.
Hu Tian, still knowledgeable, immediately recognized that it was the luxury Lykan Car Ye Chen was driving.
Damn, which big shot is this?
Hu Tian wasnРІР‚в„ўt a fool. He knew anyone who could afford to drive a Lykan wasnРІР‚в„ўt an ordinary person.
He also owned a sports car, but it was just a three-million low-end Ferrari, leagues apart from this Lykan.
This car, he saw online, was worth over a hundred million.
Not only Hu Tian, but other actors and crew members were also dumbfounded.
This car was too impressive. What kind of big shot could afford such a luxurious sports car?
Chen Yu also looked on with envy.
When I become a big star, I must also buy a cool sports car like this.
The luxury carРІР‚в„ўs wings opened, and a tall, cold-faced young man stepped out.
Seeing the person who got off the car, Jia Rui was stunned. It was Ye Chen.
Although Jia Rui knew Ye Chen was wealthy, she hadnРІР‚в„ўt imagined he was this rich.
Last time it was a Cullinan, this time a Lykan HyperSport. Just how wealthy was this guy?
Ye Chen got out of the car and walked towards the group.
Seeing the big shot approaching, Hu Tian became excited.
He rarely gets the chance to associate with someone who drives a sports car worth over a hundred million.
Finally having this opportunity, he must seize it.
Hu TianРІР‚в„ўs dream was to break into the aristocratic circles.
But itРІР‚в„ўs very difficult to enter that circle; you need someone to introduce you.
However, he never had the chance to meet such people, and seeing Ye Chen, who drove a car worth over a hundred million, Hu Tian felt his opportunity had arrived.
Hu Tian came up to Ye Chen and extended his hand, "Hello, IРІР‚в„ўm the investor in this drama, I..."
However, Ye Chen didnРІР‚в„ўt even glance at him, completely ignored his outstretched hand, and walked straight towards Director Jia Rui.
