Chapter 118: Born Well
Chu Chen felt that it was unfair, although it had been him who threatened them, by leaving the film.
Yet he had been confident that apart from him, they would not be able to find anyone else to take over the role, who was also popular and skilled; so that they would surely approve of his requirements.
But he had never expected that Fu Shiyi would suddenly appear and say that he was going to play the role.
“Director Yi, we agreed that we are signing over these past few days.”
He had given up so many other roles just for the sake of this film.
He would have to bear so much loss when the role was stolen away by someone else.
Yi An looked at him for a few seconds and said, “You said that you are not taking the role, and the investors wanted Shiyi to play it too. We only turned to you when he had no time for us. But you have now said that you are no longer playing the role and he now has the time. Reasonably he can take your place.”
“Director Yi, I was just saying that, I didn’t really mean that.” Chu Chen explained quickly.
He had just hoped that Shen Qiu could take the role of Tang Shaoqi for the sake of the company... but instead of helping, he got himself sold out too.
“Actors are always available in the entertainment industry, what you can do, can easily be found.” Yi An said with a serious face.
So he was trying to negotiate with him, when he only had a few small achievements.
Chu Chen gritted his teeth and understood that it was hopeless for him to strive any longer. Then he turned to Fu Shiyi who was playing with his phone.
“You are dominating the industry only because you have the Fu Family!”
The investors thought Shiyi was the fitting role, mostly because he had Fu’s Enterprise behind his back.
Fu Shiyi shrugged and said, “Well, I was just born well.”
Having lost the role, Chu Chen slammed the door as he left.
When no one was paying attention, Fu Shiyi winked at Gu Weiwei naughtily.
“My god, Chu Chen is gaining so much popularity right now, are you trying to get yourself cursed by his fans!” Jolin was very annoyed by this impulsive boss.
They had had to decline many other invitations when he came up with the idea of taking on this role.
“No one is going to beat up my army.” Fu Shiyi was not scared at all.
“...” Jolin had nothing to say.
His fans had been so good at arguing with others that they had become the most combative group in the entire industry.
The executive director was very satisfied with the roles, so he said, “Since everything is settled, we can do the signing soon. We are doing the principle shooting next week and we will inform you of the specific times.”
Jolin was just talking with them when Fu Shiyi asked Gu Weiwei to come with him.
“Jolin, you can go back to the company by yourself, I need to present her to someone.”
Gu Weiwei followed him into the elevator and said, “Thanks, Third Master.”
“We are a family, no need to thank me.” Fu Shiyi smiled brightly.
Fu Shiyi got into the car and said, “Get in with me, I am going back home too.”
He had not dared to return home for months, after he had irritated his brother.
Gu Weiwei followed him in and on the way home, Fu Hanzheng called her.
“All went well with the audition?”
“It was okay.”
“You should take a rest now, you slept too late last night.” Fu Hanzheng reminded her with a mild voice.
“I am on my way home.”
Hearing the way she was talking, Fu Shiyi said quickly, “Give me the phone, I need to speak with my brother.”
“Third Master needs to talk with you.” Gu Weiwei turned on the speaker and gave it to Fu Shiyi.
“Brother, let me tell you, I arrived just in time to save my sister-in-law’s role.”
“Also, I stole the male lead role too, in this way, you will never need to worry about sister-in-law falling in love with anyone during the film shooting...”
“Do you think I am your best friend?”
The man ruthlessly hung up after listening to Fu Shiyi.
Gu Weiwei squinted at Fu Shiyi... so he was just there to steal the role?
