<strong>Trantor: </strong>Shino]
Gu Manxi had always preferred the script of “The Wind Blows’. The plot was exciting and the characters were well-constructed. Although the directors and actors were mostly newbies, Gu Manxi had always paid more attention to the quality of the script.
Now that she had listened to Gu Chu’s advice, Gu Manxi decided to choose “The Wind Blows”.
Gu Chu nestled in Gu Manxi’s arms and read the script with her mother. In fact, Gu Chu advised her mother to give up on “Tales of Yu Lu’, the drama with the female lead, because the crew of “Tale of Yu Lu” had a shocking scandal in the original story.
“Tales of Yu Lu” was a novel with arge fan base. After it was adapted into a TV series, it was widely anticipated.
The female lead was Cao Yuezhi, a popr actress, while the male lead was a popr young idol. However, after the filming of the TV series waspleted, the male lead was exposed to a shocking scandal. Several female fans used the male lead of sleeping with fans and maliciously toying with
underage girls.
This matter became a big deal. “Tales of Yu Lu’, which cost more than 100 million yuan, was permanently taken down due to the scandal of the male lead.
Cao Yuezhi was also greatly impacted by this drama, and her poprity plummeted. Fortunately, her best friend Cheng Qingyun helped her out and used her own resources to tailor a TV series for Cao Yuezhi, which allowed Cao Yuezhi toe back. From then on, her path was smooth.
If Gu Manxi went to act in this drama where the male lead had scandals, she would definitely be affected in theter stages.
As for the drama “The Wind Blows’, there was little investment and many new actors, but the plot was excellent. Although the director did not have much experience, he was still one of Lu Shanhe’s disciples and had a bright future. In the original novel, after “The Wind Blows” was out, it quickly caught
everyone’s eye with its good plot and excellent shootings. All the main actors became famous overnight.
If Gu Manxi joined the cast of “The Wind Blows’, her future would be bright.
On the other side, Wang Entertainment headquarters.
Cao Yuezhi elegantly yawned and stretched out her hand, asking the makeup artist to make her thetest beautiful manicure. Now, Cao Yuezhi’s career was going smoothly. She had just finished shooting the big movie “South wind Intoxication”, and the industry was generally optimistic about the box
office earnings of this movie, believing that it could be on par with Lu Shanhe’s movie “The Return of Spring Breeze’.
In fact, the box office earnings might even surpass “The Return of Spring Breeze”.
After all, although Lu Shanhe’s movies were good-looking, the themes of the movie were mostly limited to the war and the Republic of China. The ideas discussed in the movie were too heavy. The audiences who liked popcorn movies in modern times preferredmercial movies with big screens and
gorgeous special effects.
“Miss Yuezhi, this is the new script.” The assistant handed over a stack of scripts. “President Wang said that you can pick any one you like.”
Cao Yuezhi’s beautiful eyes shone as shezily flipped through the scripts.
“The Wind Blows’, “Tales of Yu Lu’, “The Meeting”, “Ode to the Human World”…
“Miss Yuezhi, Present Wang would like you to pick ‘Tales of Yu Lu’,” the assistant said respectfully, “it’s the work of a great director, and there are many experienced actors. The male lead is the popr singer Fan Yiwu. He has many fans, so he will definitely be able to bring in lots of views.”
Cao Yuezhi waved her hand and signaled for the makeup artist to stop her manicure.
She took the script and nced through it briefly. In the end, she chose “The Wind Blows” and “Tales of Yu Lu”. Cao Yuezhi looked at the production team of “Tales of Yu Lu”. Her red lips curled into a teasing smile. “Fan Yiwu? Isn’t he a singer… I’ve seen his movies. His acting is horrendous. Does he deserve
to be the male lead?”
Cao Yuezhi was a morous movie queen, and her viewership ratings were guaranteed.
She liked to act with actors who had acting skills..
