<h4>Chapter 137 - Taking The Other Path (1)</h4>
"En." Yun Qingrong couldn''t help but smile and give Fang Yi a knowing look. "We sealed the deal to produce our very own TV drama." She added.
Bluemedia used to focus on handling the roles and the careers of their artist and hadn''t ventured into producing any TV drama or films as it was risky. However, they couldn''t deny that it would be profitable if it was done right. Only when Yun Qingrong deemed that thepany had enough resources did she decide to venture into producing TV dramas and films.
It was a crucial milestone for her mother''spany, as the project for the TV drama was the first one her mother would actually be investing in ever since she founded Bluemedia.
In Su Xiaofei''s past life, Yun Qingrong spent almost all her time at thepany, barelying home because of this project, indicating how important the project was to her and the wholepany.
Bluemedia was nning to produce the film adaptation of a popr novel entitled "The Poisonous Concubine". However, it had been hard to find the ideal actors to portray the characters. The lead female protagonist was a viin.
The preparation of the TV drama had taken a while since the author and their screenwriter took some time to work on the script. In addition, the actors needed to attend workshops and the extras selected to act as the pce maids would need to undergo training for at least six months before they could start the actual filming of the movie.
However, a few monthster, the actress that was supposed to y the lead role had backed out from the project as she decided to join another historical TV drama with the same concept that Golden Star Entertainment was about to produce.
And of course, the said actress was no other than Bai Qingyue, Su Xiaofei''s birth mother. Although she was willing to pay the damages, her departure had caused a chaotic situation for the casting crew.
It was Mo Yuchen''s first project as a director of hispany, and he managed to utilize the sess of their TV drama at the expense of Yun Qingrong and Bluemedia''s loss. The same TV drama they released before "The Poisonous Concubine", was his starting point. It helped to establish him as the sessor of the Mo family with Bai Qingyue winning several acting awards in the process.
It had been hard for Bluemedia to find the recement for the lead role, as the drama had a lot of dangerous scenes, including jumping into deep cold water during winter and being dressed and portrayed in dirty and shabby clothes in the first few episodes.
Su Xiaofei knew that there weren''t many actresses who wanted to take the risk of being seen as precarious and as an ugly woman on screen. This was the very reason Ye Mingyu was able to make a name for herself as she willingly epted the same risky roles not only for television, but also for films in their past lives.
"Congrattions, Aunty Qing! I hope that your TV drama will be sessful." Lu Qingfeng greeted Yun Qingrong, while giving Su Xiaofei a side nce. He knew that her mind was already formting countermeasures to prevent the tragedy that was about to befall her mother''spany.
Su Xiaofei said that she was worried about losing herself in revenge, but Lu Qingfeng believed that she always knew her limitations and when to take a step back. Now that she wasn''t blinded by her infatuation with Mo Yuchen anymore, it was clear that she was able to see the situation with clearer eyes.
The elders talked about the TV drama while Su Xiaofei fell silent as she considered her options. She couldn''t make a move yet as Bai Qingyue still hadn''t signed for the lead role yet and there were still a few more months before she backed away from the project. As to how she would help her mother, she needed to establish her desire to follow her footsteps in the entertainment industry.
"Mama, Xiao Feng has already started his training to seed the Lu Corporation, when would it be my turn?" She asked, attracting everyone''s attention.
Her mother looked at her with widened eyes, as Yun Qingrong had never thought Su Xiaofei would want to seed her in theirpany.
"Feifei, didn''t you say you wanted to be an actress? Mama has no issues with that, but why are you suddenly interested in learning the ways of thepany now?" She asked her young daughter.
"Becausetely I''ve been thinking about what I really want to do in the future. I thought about how Bluemedia is Mama and Uncle Fang''s blood, sweat and tears and how hard you''ve worked to get Bluemedia to where it is today. If I only focused on myself and didn''t seed Mama in thepany, then what kind of future awaits Bluemedia and its employees? I don''t think I want thepany to fall into the hands of other people, knowing that they wouldn''t take care of it as Mama and Uncle did. I might be young now, but in the future, I want to be able to protect thepany both of you started." Su Xiaofei exined with conviction.
Yun Qingrong looked at her daughter and was moved by her words. Her Feifei had really changed, and now she was starting to consider her future seriously, rather than spending their family''s moneyvishly.
"Feifei has a point, Qingqing. We both know that we can''t be working at Bluemedia forever, and it''s important to train new blood to continue our legacy. Why don''t you consider her request?" Uncle Fang seemed impressed with Su Xiaofei''s words.
When Yun Qingrong told him that her daughter had somewhat changed after being hospitalized, he wasn''t sure what to think of it.. However, as he witnessed how calm Su Xiaofei was at the police station, making decisions with logical reasoning and considerations, he believed that the young woman had indeed changed and seemed to have matured overnight, which was a good thing in his opinion.
