Chapter 89 - 89: Apologies, We’re Inviting Miss Si (3)



“Director, you’re missing the point. This is a lifestyle reality show. Does it matter if she’s just a pretty face?” The assistant director disagreed, “If she’s capable, that’s great. If not, she’s still good to look at.”

The director fell silent, conceding that there didn’t seem to be a significant issue.

“Fine,” he nodded, “Go ahead and contact her agency.”

The assistant director nodded and was about to rush out when the director stopped him, “Wait. Don’t disclose any information about the other guests.”

“Understood, understood,” the assistant director said as he walked out, “We’re going to sign a confidentiality agreement; we can’t just leak information.”

Meanwhile, at Tianle Media Headquarters.

“Sister Feng, Miss Meng will join the cast tomorrow,” the assistant reported, “She’s the fourth female lead in this Qing drama, which will wrap up in a month and a half.”

“Then she will seamlessly transition to a web series, which will take three months to shoot.”

“I’m aware,” Feng Peizhi expressed her satisfaction, “Meng Xue is doing well. Make sure to take care of her daily needs; we can’t let her be affected in that regard.”

Meng Xue was her shining star, and Feng Peizhi felt a sense of pride.

As for Si Fuqing, Feng Peizhi had given up on managing her.

The assistant acknowledged and was about to leave when the landline rang.

She picked up, “Hello? Yes, just a moment, I’ll let Sister Feng take the call.” She passed the phone, “Sister Feng, it’s a variety show invitation.”

“What kind of reality show?” Feng Peizhi took the phone impatiently, “Meng Xue’s schedule for this year was filled up last year. She’s focused on entering the acting industry; where does she have the time for reality shows? Which channel are you from?”

Most idols transition to acting since actors have broader appeal and recognition. Variety shows are fine, but they should be kept to a minimum to avoid being typecast.

The assistant whispered, “Sister Feng, it’s from Great Xia TV!”

Great Xia TV was directly under the control of the Great Xia Empire, and their programs were all high-quality, seldom inviting celebrities.

Even Meng Xue, whom Feng Peizhi was fully supporting, was still considered an idol and not someone who would catch the eye of Great Xia TV.

This was why Feng Peizhi was in a hurry to have Meng Xue start acting. Only then could she possibly win mainstream awards and get noticed by higher- ups.

Perhaps she could even create the next best female lead.

And now, Great Xia TV had actually extended an invitation?

Holding back her surprise, Feng Peizhi asked, “What kind of reality show is it?”

“It’s a lifestyle reality show,” the person on the other end responded amiably, “It will start filming in May, and all participants are required to appear without makeup.”

“May?” Feng Peizhi frowned, “Meng Xue will still be filming then. Can’t the timing be adjusted?”

Though she said this, she had already decided to have Meng Xue drop the low-budget web series to take on the Great Xia TV offer. A web series, no matter how popular, couldn’t compare to Great Xia TV.

“Meng Xue?” The voice on the other side paused, somewhat puzzled, “We’ve invited Miss Si Fuqing..”
