Chapter 203 – I’ve heard through the grapevine that Miss Lin enjoys little fresh meat escorts (2)
When they all looked over at Lin Yiyi, they also saw Yu Yi docilely adding more water to her glass.
This was the very first time that Lin Yiyi had an “escort”. Why did that sound so wrong?
Lin Yiyi was the producer of this show, and they would need her blessing before deciding on a new female lead.
Zhang Xiying had already resigned from this role, and they couldn’t change that. Ideally, they would be able to find someone around the same level as her in terms of fame and acting. Even if she couldn’t exceed Zhang Xiying, at least someone of similar caliber.
Their company had sunk a lot in terms of capital and effort in the production of this show and their purpose was to make money. They have already hired enough big shots that the tens of millions for a female lead was immaterial.
Lin Yiyi pondered over it for a little bit before she suddenly asked, “What do you think about Yao Yimeng?”
Yao Yimeng?
The daughter of Yuan Yao Media?
The new actress who went up on the most trending list with Zhang Xiying last time and was slammed?
The others contemplated about Yao Yimeng in their minds as well. Yao Yimeng was an actress with a background. She had almost no scandals. She had only been in this field for a couple of years and the most recent production that she was involved in was also one by Director Lu Sen.
It’d seem that she was close to being done with that one as well.
Yu Yi had his ears perked up, listening carefully.
As the male lead, he was very concerned about who the female lead was going to be.
Whether a show would be successful was very important to an actor who was ambitious and wanted to make a name for themselves.
All things aside, the actors for the male and female leads could sometimes be very critical to whether a movie would be successful.
On more than one occasion, when actresses with no acting skills whatsoever but was also very difficult to work with joined a cast, the male leads would rather pay for the penalty of breaching the contract than working with her.
In short, all actors that played the male lead roles would be concerned about the role of the female lead, especially an actor whose career was budding and had certain anticipation for each show that he was involved in.
Lin Yiyi waited for what she said to sink in before she continued, “Yao Yimeng’s acting was approved by Director Lu.”
Lu Sen, being someone who would no doubt become an elite of the field in the future, certainly had a good eye when it came to picking out his cast. Nobody would doubt that.
Even his current status as a famed director was enough to earn the trust of others.
“Besides, with her joining us, we will also gain the backing of Yuan Yao Media. We would get a lot of help in the area of advertising.”
Having said that, she looked over at Yu Yi. “Besides, she has had conflicts with Zhang Xiying in the past. That will also attract people’s attention. Scandal isn’t the only way to go if publicity is what we are after.”
Yu Yi paused a little. He suddenly recalled the scandal of him travelling to Japan on the same day as Zhang Xiying. He was totally innocent in that one.
He went to Japan for work and Zhang Xiying was visiting Japan with her sister. They were two unrelated people that happened to meet on the plane.
All he could say was that the paparazzi’s ability to create scandals out of thin air was incredible.
The only thing that was unexpected to Yu Yi was that Zhang Xiying did not stand out to clarify right away.
Clarification only from his end wasn’t good enough for his fans, which was why so many of them went over to slam Zhang Xiying under her Weibo.
Yu Yi, who was completely innocent, was dragged into this.
Luckily, Zhang Xiying decided to withdraw from this production.
He felt relieved that they were finally able to suppress this piece of news, but he couldn’t feel relieved too soon either. At least not until the actress for the role of the female lead had been decided.
