Chapter 223 – He would silently support her in any goal that she pursued (2)

Some people were unwilling to accept that those actors and actresses were chosen for the movie. They thought this selection was a waste of 50 million yuan. Baseless negative speculation about these actors and actresses were spread online in an attempt to get the crew to reconsider the selection. Amongst these rumors, the negative information about the actor that would play the male lead was especially prolific, and there were a flood of comments under the crew’s Weibo accounts.

“You might as well let my dog be the male lead rather than that unfaithful cheater!”

“How can a supporting actor that won’t achieve popularity even in a thousand years be a suitable choice? Even if you want to burn money, you shouldn’t do this!”

“Although I wasn’t optimistic about this movie, I was still somewhat looking forward to it since Lu Corporation had invested 50 million yuan. But I knew I was wrong as soon as I saw the cast list. The lineup for this movie is on the same level as choosing random people off the streets.”

“Have you considered XYZ? He’s been praised by many directors. He’s a much better choice than the currently chosen male lead. He’s not too expensive to hire~”

“Meng Jie had been out of the entertainment circle for four years. Can she still act? This passerby is expressing doubts.”

“+1 to expressing doubts. Why not have XYA play the role? She has good looks and good acting skills. She’s younger and more famous than Old Aunty Meng. She can definitely support this movie in doing well at the box office!”

The numerous words of the hired fake commenters about the chosen cast could be summed up in one word: unsuitable.

Facing these troublemakers, Lu Corporation’s Weibo account responded with the words: “The cast has been carefully selected. They’re the cream of the crop.”

Lu Corporation’s straightforward rejection of those comments made the cast and crew sigh in relief, especially the actors and actresses that had been invited by Lu Corporation.

Every actor and actress in the entertainment industry wanted to play a breakout role, but being in the right place at the right time was indispensable. Year after year, many people treaded water in the entertainment circle without seeing hope.

For these actors and actresses, Lu Corporation was like a pie that had dropped into their laps out of the blue.

The script hadn’t been shared with outsiders. The actors and actresses immediately made up their minds to join the cast after reading the script. They had a deep understanding that with Lu Corporation’s support, this was an exceptionally good opportunity. However, the commotion online made these people uneasy. After all, those online comments were true. They weren’t popular actors and actresses and wouldn’t be able to promote this movie. Thus, they were worried that Lu Corporation would replace them after seeing public opinion.

After all, Lu Corporation wasn’t a company that was lacking in money and could afford to hire a more expensive cast. They didn’t expect that Lu Corporation would give them reassurance by refuting those commenters.

At the film’s opening banquet, the drunk Ning Yang raised his glass of wine to the cast and crew as well as the staff. He was choked with emotions for a long time. He hadn’t even dared to imagine these expensive filming equipment as well as spacious and empty shooting venues would be available to him. Without Ye Zhen’s investment, he would never have this opportunity to display his skills.

“I am very honored to spend the following five months with everyone to film this movie. This is my first time directing a movie. I know that everyone is doubtful about my skills. I’ll use the following five months to prove that I won’t let down everyone’s hard work!” Ning Yang raised his head and drank all the wine in his glass. He received a round of warm and enthusiastic applause.

He unsteadily sat down and touched wine glasses with Guan Ming. “Happy collaboration.”

Guan Ming smiled and drank his drink in one gulp too. “Happy collaboration.”

The filming of Qinhua’s Riverside’s began.

Ye Zhen was busy for half a year because of this movie. This was her first time being a producer, and she had a lot to learn. She couldn’t be remiss in her responsibilities. Of course, once her work hours expanded, she couldn’t stay at home every day like before.

Today, for the very first time after the filming of the movie had started, Ye Zhen returned home early. As soon as she returned, she saw the servants rushing about.

Seeing Ye Zhen, Aunty Yue quietly said, “Madam, you’re finally back.”

“Is something wrong?”

“Zhouzhou is sick. The doctor is upstairs checking on him.”

Shocked, Ye Zhen rushed upstairs. At this time, the doctor had finished his examination. While packing up his equipment, he was telling Mrs. Lu something.
