Chapter 79 - I don’t feel like going
The entertainment industry was extremely dirty. After being in the industry for so many years, she had already seen all sorts of people. This woman was trying to get her to start a war and wanted to use her to fight Jing Qian. How would she not know?
These types of people, who were incapable themselves but still wanted to create chaos between everyone, were the most disgusting and annoying people in the industry.
Therefore, even though Mei Ruodan knew what her name was, she decided to embarrass her.
The female artist who was given a ‘slap’ across her face, realized that her little plot had been revealed which was why she looked a little embarrassed. However, she quickly replied, “Sister Dan, my name is Fang Manyu. I’m in the same group as Sister Li.”
“Eh? Sister Dan, you don’t know Manyu? I always thought that you know her. She is the ‘visual’ of our group, the Aurora Girls.”
When the word ‘visual’ was mentioned, Fang Manyu’s face had a subtle, shy look on her face, almost as if she expected compliments from Mei Ruodan.
However, Mei Ruodan didn’t even continue with the topic.
Instead, she turned to Yang Yinli and said, “Oh, by the way, there is an empty role for a court lady who’s good with martial arts in my next drama, ‘The Queen of the General.’ Although it isn’t one of the main roles, she is one of the most important people to the female lead. It would be good exposure, and since you’re a dancer, it should be easy for you to pick up on the martial arts skills. What do you think? Are you interested?”
Yang Yinli and Fang Manyu were both stunned.
‘The Queen of the General’ was a drama that was extremely successful a few years ago and there was a huge fan base for the drama. Plus, it was a female lead drama. Even if her role was just that of a court lady, she would still be the one closest to the female lead. The exposure that she would be getting from this role would be even more than those who acted as the king’s concubine.
When Mei Ruodan saw the shock on Yang Yinli’s face, she smiled casually and asked, “What’s wrong? You don’t want it?”
“I do! I want it! Thank you so much, Sister Dan! Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity!”
Yang Yinli was so happy that she started bowing and thanking her. Her joy was beyond words.
Although she was the leader of the Aurora Gurls, their group was not very well-known. After their debut, she never had such a chance. She only got to join ‘Dancing Youth’ because she was talented in dancing.
However, variety shows wouldn’t be able to attract many fans, and it wouldn’t be beneficial to her future development either.
If she got this role as the servant of the main female lead, there would be a qualitative increase in her fans and media coverage.
If this drama became a hit, she may also be famous because of it as well.
“If you want it, you better put on your best performance. Don’t embarrass me.”
“Don’t worry, Sister Dan. I will do my best, and I promise that I will never embarrass you.”
Mei Ruodan nodded her head in satisfaction, “Then you’ll have to meet me for the project meeting after this.”
The artists that were allowed to join the project meeting were those that the company focused on. She was only jealous and mad because she found out that Jing Qian was allowed to join the meeting.
But now that she was allowed to join the meeting, she no longer felt that way.
“Okay then. The meeting is about to start. Come along with me to my office. There are some things that I’ll have to inform you about beforehand.”
“Sure.”
Mei Ruodan left with Yang Yinli, not even bothering to look at Fang Manyu while leaving. Fang Manyu was completely ignored.
Just when Fang Manyu was about to leave after being so thoroughly embarrassed, she saw Jun Leyao, who was holding a pile of things, walking into the elevator.
“Jun Leyao, where are you going?”
“The recording studio.”
“I thought you promised to accompany me to the dance studio?”
“Uhhh… I don’t feel like going there anymore.”
“What do you mean?” Fang Manyu felt ashamed, angrily rushing into the elevator to confront Jun Leyao.
