This director is so innocent.

"So who do you think would be more suitable?"

Huang Jiaqiang pondered for a moment, then rattled off seven or eight names in one breath: "Fan Bingbing, Li Lianhua, Gao Yuanyuan, Liu Yifei, Chen Hao, Huang Shengyi... they are all quite suitable."

Su Jin wrote down the names Huang Jiaqiang mentioned, then, noticing something was amiss, looked up and asked, "Why aren't there any Hong Kong or Taiwanese stars?"

"Hong Kong and Taiwanese celebrities are too expensive, it's not worth it."

Hong Kong and Taiwanese artists are indeed expensive.

Currently, top-tier female artists in mainland China typically earn around 100,000 yuan per episode, while Hong Kong and Taiwan artists earn at least 200,000 yuan or more per episode.

Moreover, they are too demanding and difficult to please, so it's better not to go for them.

After chatting for a while, Huang Jiaqiang left the office.

Su Jin looked at the names on the paper, wondering which one to choose.

Fan Bayi is definitely not a good fit; she was the female lead in the previous book.

Although Li Lianhua is famous and beautiful, her appearance is not suitable for this drama.

Da Meiyuan is pretty good-looking, I'll keep her as a backup.

Huang Shengyi has hooked up with a boyfriend who sells rigging; he's arrogant and probably wouldn't even look at this drama.

Chen Hao is a good candidate; without Wu Kebo's support, he would probably be willing.

Ya Huazi's looks, age, and fame are all suitable, but her mother probably wouldn't agree.

Give it a try! It doesn't cost any money to try.

After thinking it over, Su Jin took out her phone and made a call.

"Feed".

A clear, melodious voice came through the microphone; it was very sweet.

"Have you returned to the capital?" Su Jin asked.

"Yes."

"Long time no see! Got some time? Let's grab a bite!"

"OK!"

"OK, I'll send the address to your phone in a bit."

After hanging up the phone, Su Jin took out paper and pen and spent five minutes writing a song.

I grabbed my things, told Huang Jiaqiang to call me if I needed anything, and drove off in my Mercedes.

Half an hour later, we arrived at a chic restaurant.

This restaurant opened in March of this year. I've been here a few times. The food is just average, but its elegant and comfortable environment is very popular with young girls.

After entering, I chose a seat by the window, picked up a magazine from the table and started reading, quietly waiting for people to arrive.

A dozen minutes later.

A beautiful young woman wearing a floral print mini-skirt walked into the restaurant.

She looked around, her gaze finally settling on the figure by the window, engrossed in reading a magazine.

The girl smiled slightly, her eyes darting around as if she had thought of something fun.

She tiptoed up to Su Jin and let out a playful squeal, "Hey!"

Su Jin, who was engrossed in the magazine, was so startled that she almost dropped it.

He suddenly looked up and saw the girl with a mischievous grin on her face, which made him both annoyed and amused.

"What are you looking at so intently?" The girl took the magazine from Su Jin's hand, flipped through it casually, and put it down when she didn't see what she wanted to see.

"It's nothing," Su Jin replied casually, then smiled and said, "You've gotten even more beautiful in the few months I haven't seen you."

The girl smiled, though it was probably just a polite remark, she was still quite happy.

"You've become handsome too."

"No matter how handsome he is, he's not good enough for a goddess like you!"

The girl was none other than Ya Hua Zi, who was known as a celestial being.

His relationship with Ya Huazi is okay, but only okay.

The main reason is that Ya Huazi only visited the school a few times during his four years of university, as he was mostly filming outside.

Jiang Yiyan once said that Ya Hua Zi often skipped school.

"Just order whatever you like, don't worry about me." Su Jin handed the menu to Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei didn't stand on ceremony, took the menu, and casually ordered a few dishes.

She then glanced around the restaurant, looked at Su Jin with a half-smile, and said softly, "This is the restaurant you often take girls to, isn't it?"

"How did you know?" Su Jin asked in surprise.

"You're so famous at school, people often talk about you behind your back, and I found out over time," Liu Yifei said with a smile.

"Actually, I haven't invited many girls here." Su Jingqian chuckled twice, feeling that he could still salvage the situation and trying to save face.

"Not many is not a few! I heard from them that you've dated quite a few, including senior female students, junior female students, and classmates."

"And Beijing Dance Academy, Central Academy of Drama, Central Conservatory of Music, Renmin University..." Liu Yifei counted on her slender fingers, muttering to herself.

"Slander, it's definitely slander. I've only talked to people from our own school, and none of them are from the Central Academy of Drama, let alone the Central Conservatory of Music or Renmin University," Su Jin retorted angrily.

He knew he didn't have a good reputation at school, but he never expected it to be this outrageous.

He only talked about his own school; for other schools, it was just a simple exchange of art.

"Hahaha……"

Seeing Su Jin's broken state, Liu Yifei laughed heartily; if she hadn't covered her mouth, her gums would have been visible.

Su Jin stared speechlessly at the toothbrush. Was it really that funny?

During the chat, all the dishes were served.

"This eel looks good, let's try it." Su Jin picked up a little eel shreds and put it in her bowl.

"Thank you." Liu Yifei picked up a little bit and chewed it. It tasted so-so, but she didn't say it directly.

It is impolite to say that the food is bad when someone invites you to dinner.

"I listened to your album, and you sang very well," Su Jin casually started a conversation.

Yahuazi signed with Sony last June and then went to Japan for six months of vocal training.

I released three albums in July, August and September of this year.

July: Japanese album "Maya no Doa", August: Mandarin album "Liu Yifei", September: "All My Words".

The album is doing fairly well in terms of popularity, but to be honest, the singing is very average, extremely average.

Moreover, Sony, for some reason, designed the costumes to be a bit too sexy, which brought the ethereal beauty down to earth.

Liu Yifei silently rolled her eyes. She knew her own limitations; her voice was just average.

If it weren't for her mother's plan for her to become a triple-threat star in film, television, and music, she would never have wanted to sing.

Su Jin accidentally saw it, gave an awkward smile, and changed the subject, asking, "Do you have any plans for your next film?"

"Not at the moment."

"I have a pretty good drama series here, with an investment of 20 million, but we're missing a female lead. Want to give it a try?"

"A TV series?"

"right."

"I'm afraid I can't act in TV dramas."

Why?

"My mom won't allow it. She thinks I've already accumulated enough experience in TV dramas and wants me to switch to the film industry."

Hearing this, Su Jin knew that her trip had been in vain.

Liu Xiaoli is a woman who is beautiful but short-sighted and has a strong desire for control.

Otherwise, Ya Huazi wouldn't have acted in so many trashy movies.

Fortunately, she had a solid foundation laid by three popular dramas; otherwise, any other female star would have faded into obscurity long ago.

Huayi Brothers offered Liu Yifei the lead role in "The Forbidden Kingdom" in order to sign her, which is a huge opportunity.

A fight between Jet Li and Jackie Chan is a dream for countless movie fans.

Then Liu Xiaoli broke her verbal agreement and was blacklisted by Huayi Brothers. Chen Godfather also got into trouble and had no choice but to go south to seek refuge in the Hong Kong entertainment circle.

How is this any different from going to that side in 1949?
