I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

Losing money is one thing, but if Su Chang's reputation is damaged because of her role in Bi Zifei's movie, that's something Cheng Sheng cannot accept.

After all, he still wanted to cultivate Su Chang into an international female superstar, and he couldn't let her get caught up in the media storm of bad movies.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wang, as I just said, my company will not force any of its artists to accept roles," Cheng Sheng said, shaking his head.

Mr. Wang's expression changed instantly. Huayi had put in so much effort, and the other party had actually refused.

How can it be!

If it were any other film and television company, they would probably have agreed immediately.

Why did he refuse?
Before coming here, Huayi Film and Television Company had studied the situation of Shengli Film and Television Company and knew that the other party was in dire need of artists.

That's why the conditions were given in a targeted manner.

Moreover, this is also very beneficial for Huayi.

I was originally 100% certain, but now the other party has actually refused.

"Director Cheng, can you tell me why?" Mr. Wang asked, somewhat unwillingly.

Cheng Sheng chuckled inwardly. What could be the reason? It's because you have a king of bad movies next to you.

If it were Feng Xiaogang, or any other director, he would have agreed immediately.

"Mr. Wang, Su Chang's schedule is already full this year. She will be in Hollywood all year and simply doesn't have time to take on any more roles."

Cheng Sheng certainly wouldn't tell the other party that it was because of Bi Zifei's lung condition, so he could only make up an excuse to appease them.

"Why don't you ask Director Bi to change the female lead? We have plenty of good actresses in China, and Huayi Brothers has Li Shuangbing and Xun Ge'er, right? Their acting skills are even better than Su Chang's," Cheng Sheng continued.

When Xiao Wang heard Cheng Sheng say that, he looked embarrassed.

When Bi Zifei first presented the script, the Wang brothers did consider having their company's artists star in the film.

But when the script was shown to Li Shuangbing and Xun Ge'er, the two rejected it without even thinking about it.

As for the reason for the refusal, needless to say, Mr. Wang can understand.

Having been in the entertainment industry for so long, Mr. Wang has a good eye for scripts, let alone Li Shuangbing and Zhou Xun.

The two of them could tell at a glance that the script was unreliable.

Even a third-rate director couldn't write a script like this.

Casting them in movies like this is ruining their futures!
Since Li Shuangbing and Xun Ge'er refused, Xiao Wang had considered asking other female artists from the company to star in the film.

Unfortunately, Bi Zifei was arrogant and looked down on the other female artists at Huayi Brothers.

Only later did Bi Zifei say that he had his eye on Su Chang.

"Director Cheng, as long as Su Chang stars in my movie, I'll agree to whatever conditions you offer," Bi Zifei said with unwavering determination.

Cheng Sheng was completely bewildered upon hearing this.

What exactly is Bi Zifei trying to do?
Why must Su Chang be cast as the female lead?
Something's not right!
In another world, Bi Zifei never approached Su Chang; his "Dream Chasing in the Entertainment Industry" only cast newcomers.

In another world, the actress who plays the female lead in "Dream Chasing in the Entertainment Industry" is named Li Yanman.

This is a girl who wasn't very lucky, but she is very beautiful and has a great temperament.

This was her first time making a movie, and unexpectedly, she ended up with a 'dark history' of work.

However, Li Yanman later starred in a low-rated film, this time playing a wealthy heiress, a role that undeniably suited her better. Her co-star this time was Guo Canjie, who initially played her best friend but later became her stepmother.

The movie is called "happy Bao" and has a rating of 3.3 on Douban.

However, at least after watching the whole thing, it can still be considered a movie, and Li Yanman's performance was not a big problem.

It's not hard to imagine that Li Yanman certainly wouldn't want to be labeled as someone who acts in bad movies; it's just that new actors don't have that many choices.

She has also appeared in some decent works, such as the movie "Youth", but only in minor roles.

Some of the TV dramas she starred in were delayed for several years without airing, so she can't be considered very lucky.

In the hit drama "A Year Without a Job," she plays Tang Rui, a young woman who dreams of wealth and interferes in other people's relationships. Her methods are very "powerful," ruthless, and cunning, earning her the nickname "another Lin Youyou" from netizens.

This role also showcased Li Yanman's acting skills, allowing everyone to see another side of her.

In fact, such a "Lin Youyou"-like character is not likable. The character calls her "brother" all the time, which makes the audience extremely disgusted with the character.

Fortunately, this show is finally not a bad one. Overall, "A Year Without Work" is a high-quality drama that reflects reality and is also humorous.

Although the character is not likable, Li Yanman put a lot of effort into her performance.

As long as the performance is good, everyone can shine.

While some viewers may become so immersed in a role that they dislike the actor who plays a villain in real life, most viewers are more rational. Being able to portray a villain in a way that makes the audience hate them is a testament to acting skills and a form of success.

Although Zhang Yue, who played Lin Youyou in "Nothing But Thirty," was troubled by the role, the character later brought her many opportunities. It is believed that the role of Tang Rui will also have a positive effect on Li Yanman's acting career.

Although acting is glamorous, it is still a job. Not all actors have the right to choose to "only act in good plays and only choose roles that suit them," nor do all actors have the resources to keep waiting.

However, it is still feasible to do one's best in every role one has. Even if it's a bad movie, one can still act seriously. This way, one can handle a good script and a good role with ease when one day one comes along.

Cheng Sheng still admires Li Yanman very much, after all, she is both beautiful and has good acting skills.

She also has the looks of a leading lady, but unfortunately she was unlucky. Her first leading role in a movie was labeled as a bad movie.

She mostly plays supporting roles in TV dramas.

It's really a pity.

"Director Bi, could you tell me why you're looking for Su Chang?" Cheng Sheng asked earnestly.

"This one……"

Bi Zifei hesitated for a moment.

Xiao Wang stared intently at Bi Zifei, also wondering why Bi Zifei was so fixated on Su Chang.

"Teacher Su Chang is my goddess, and I want to act with her."

Under the watchful eyes of Cheng Sheng and Xiao Wang, Bi Zifei finally spoke.

Mr. Wang was so angry upon hearing this that he almost vomited blood.

The company has so many beautiful female artists, none of them are any less beautiful than Su Chang!
This guy doesn't even respect any of them, and he even treats Su Chang like a goddess. This is a slap in the face to the company!

If it weren't for the fact that the other party had connections, and Huayi Company also liked to rely on the other party's behind-the-scenes relationships, he would have fired Bi Zifei long ago.

Cheng Sheng was a little dumbfounded.

What does "毕子肺" mean? (End of Chapter)
