Chapter 198 - 198: Meeting Xu Rui Again
Bei Mu owed Song Jia a lot of money. He didn’t have much money on hand and even specially borrowed some from his sister. He had done his best to help.
However, because Song Jia and Jiang Kai had their own things to do, this newly established company was managed by Bei Mu.
Jiang Kai and Song Jia had the most investments, totaling up to tens of millions.
Jiang Kai didn’t know much about the entertainment industry, so he took out the money to establish a company to help Song Jia. Song Jia was very grateful to him.
“But I’m really curious. You didn’t hesitate to ask Bei Mu and me for help to make that female celebrity called Lu Zhen the female lead of the movie. I’ve never seen you treat someone so well.” Jiang Kai sighed.
“She’s an artist from my company. If I can’t even protect her, what kind of man am I?” Song Jia said calmly.
Jiang Kai sighed. “Sigh, if you were still in the Lin family, you wouldn’t need our help.”
With the Lin family’s power and status, would Song Jia be afraid of Tai An Corporation?
Song Jia shook his head slowly. “Since I’ve already left the Lin family, I’ll have to resolve all my troubles myself in the future. But don’t worry, I won’t let you and Bei Mu lose money. This movie will definitely succeed.”
“Could it be that Bei Mu and I are afraid of losing money? We just don’t want to see you work so hard. Alright, if you have anything to say, save it for the table.”
Beauty’s filming was delayed for a few days. Although there was a little accident, it was still considered successful overall. However, what surprised Lu Zhen was that the supporting actress in Beauty had changed.
Lu Zhen also knew this person.
At the opening ceremony, Xu Rui saw Lu Zhen and smiled generously. “Miss
Lu, we meet again.”
Xu Rui was the actress who had competed with Lu Zhen for the “back-view goddess”. Lu Zhen did not expect the two of them to enter the same production team again. What surprised her even more was that the news of Xu Rui joining the production team seemed to be confidential. Even Ye Xuan did not receive the news in advance.
It seemed like this Xu Rui was not simple.
“Miss Xu, were really fated. In the future, we’ll be colleagues in the same production team.” Lu Zhen also revealed a polite and gentle smile.
Lu Zhen didn’t know what happened. Beauty actually changed to the original supporting actress, but she wasn’t too surprised and quickly calmed down.
No matter who the supporting actress was, she would not be afraid. Song Jia had helped her get the female lead of this movie. She had to perform best and make this movie a famous masterpiece in the film industry.
Xu Rui saw the ambition hidden under Lu Zhen’s calm eyes, and her expression gradually became serious.
Xu Rui recalled what her manager had told her
“Miss Xu, Lu Zhen stole your role in Director Jiang Wen’s movie last time. Why are you going to the same production team with her this time? You also know that Lu Zhen is currently popular. She’s not just a vase. She has acting skills and abilities. You’re just a newcomer now. I think it’s better for you to be safe.”
However, Xu Rui rejected her manager’s suggestion.
“The director of ‘Beauty’ is Ding Zhi. As you know, he’s an unpredictable director. Although I entered the production team as a supporting actress, this doesn’t mean that my final scenes will definitely be less than Lu Zhen’s. I know that Lu Zhen is very popular, so I want to film the same movie as her. With her around, the box office of this movie will definitely not be low. I can also attract more audience attention.”
Xu Rui still remembered how shocked and indignant she was when she found out that Director Jiang Wen had chosen Lu Zhen to play the “back-view goddess”. She originally thought that the role of the “back-view goddess” was tailor-made for her, so she confidently went to the production team for an audition.
She felt that her aura was clearly more suitable for this role than Lu Zhen’s, but she did not understand why she lost to Lu Zhen in the end. Was it because Lu Zhen was more famous than her? Or did Lu Zhen use some other method?
No matter what the reason was, this matter had become a thorn in Xu Rui’s heart, making her feel terrible until today.
Because Xu Rui had someone helping her, she had learned a few days ago that the female lead of the movie Beauty was going to be changed, and the female lead who was going to be replaced by the investor was Lu Zhen.
At that time, Xu Rui was overjoyed and immediately wanted to replace Lu Zhen as the female lead of this movie..
