Shen Shichuan thought for a moment and then put away the contract: “Yes, I can do that. But in this case, it’s going to be hard for me to arrange a manager for you. So I will temporarily act as Miss Xia’s manager. The shoot will last for three months, and I will personally arrange your work during this period. Of course, if anything happens, you will need to notify me immediately.”
“I promise you,” Xia Yangyang replied.
After re-signing the contract, Shen Shichuan said: “Tonight, we’ll have dinner with the director and the scriptwriter to get to know each other. We’ll start shooting in three days.”
Xia Yangyang agreed but added, “Could you arrange my dormitory in advance… I don’t have anywhere to stay right now.”
Shen Shichuan replied, “The dormitory arrangements haven’t been scheduled yet according to the agreement with A University. I’ll find a place for you to stay for the next few days.”
Xia Yangyang nodded in agreement.
With no extra money to live on, she had no choice but to ask for help. Worst comes to worst, she would repay the accommodation fee once she had earned money from acting.
Xia Yangyang spent the whole day in Shen Shichuan’s office reading the script.
She had lunch at the staff canteen in the Time Mansion.
In the afternoon, Gu Qichen called her, but Xia Yangyang did not pick up.
In the evening, Xia Yangyang and Shen Shichuan drove to Defu Palace Hotel.
The private room was spacious and elegantly decorated.
The director, scriptwriter, producer, and several other key creatives started arriving one after another.
Director Yang Jin looked at Xia Yangyang as if she were a treasure.
During the meal, Xia Yangyang curiously asked Yang Jin, “Out of so many girls, why did you pick me at first sight?”
Yang Jin, after having a drink, said with a smile, “Because the Lin Xiaofan in the story is a silly, cute girl, always a bit slow. When you barged into the meeting room and had that stunned moment, I thought, isn’t this Lin Xiaofan? Your silly and cute demeanor, it’s just like her.”
Xia Yangyang:
So she was chosen because she looked foolish.
That wasn’t quite how she had imagined it.
Xia Yangyang chatted with the scriptwriter, Xiao Hong, for a while. free(w)ebnovel(.)com
Xia Yangyang was absorbed into the script as soon as she read it in the afternoon.
“Cinderella’s Magical Fate” tells the story of an eccentric girl named Lin Xiaofan who, after surviving a near-death accident, unexpectedly gains the ability to briefly traverse time and space. She accidentally gets involved with a nobleman’s son, Kim Shixun, and their comedic magical romantic adventure begins. The plot is wonderfully fantastical and engrossing.
Xia Yangyang finished reading the entire original story all at once and enjoyed it tremendously.
The role of the TV drama’s second female lead, the rich young lady Xie Anqi, is played by rising star Lu Yao.
Lu Yao was also present at the dinner.
Xia Yangyang had long known her name because Lu Yao was also a student of the A University drama department. However, she was discovered by a talent scout in her first year and had already acted in several TV dramas.
Although she hadn’t achieved great fame, she had gained a lot of popularity, and was even dubbed the “Drama Department Flower.”
Being from the same school seemed to give them an instantaneous connection.
After dinner, the big shots were discussing business matters.
Meanwhile, Xia Yangyang chatted with Lu Yao off on the side.
Lu Yao said, “I heard that the male lead has already been chosen secretly, but they haven’t announced it yet. I thought we might meet him in person today. Who do you think it could be?”
Xia Yangyang thought for a moment and replied: “The most popular young male actors in Time Entertainment right now are Song Zihan and Ou Ze. Song Zihan is filming Director Zhang’s big-budget historical film in Scotland. He probably doesn’t have time. Ou Ze’s new drama just wrapped up, so I think he’s the most likely candidate.”
Xia Yangyang’s knowledge of the entertainment industry owes a lot to her previous work on a special news feature titled “The Impact of Celebrity Influence on the Entertainment Industry.”
Lu Yao nodded and replied, “I think so too. Ou Ze is very handsome, but he’s too much of a straight man and not my type..”
