Entertainment: This top celebrity is really letting loose!

Hu Dabiao scratched the back of his head, looking aggrieved, and said, "You said it was a melodramatic soap opera, yet you still pushed me forward."

Director Liu raised his hand again, but Hu Dabiao quickly dodged it.

"The worse the script, the more it tests the director's skills. Besides, Xiaoyu attaches great importance to this drama, so the investment will definitely not be small. It's at least tens of millions, and it's possible that it could even exceed 100 million. If you dare to embarrass me, don't blame me for being impolite..."

Ever since he learned that Gao Xiaoyu was determined to film this drama, Director Liu had been thinking about how to "make use of waste," which is why this opportunity fell to Hu Dabiao.

If we can use this opportunity to train this guy, even if he fails, it will be acceptable. But judging from his appearance, this guy doesn't seem too stupid. He knows that this is a trap, and a huge one at that.

Hu Dabiao stood far away from the sofa and continued to complain:

"If it were just a bad script, that would be one thing, but the problem is that the lead actor this time is Zhou Yang, a popular celebrity. Do you know how bad his acting is? I specifically watched his previous drama, 'Campus Belle,' and it was absolutely cringe-worthy."

Director Liu stood up from the sofa, raised his hand and approached him, saying, "What's a director's job? Isn't it to teach actors how to act? Just give them pointers on set."

"The problem is that Zhou Yang is hopeless... Oh, Director Liu, please stop hitting me, I... I agree, okay?"

Hu Dabiao covered his head with his hands, curled up on the ground, and begged for mercy repeatedly.

Star Entertainment, Artists Department.

Zhou Yang, carrying the script in both hands, strode into the company with an air of nonchalance, his smile revealing just how good he was at the moment.

Gao Xiaoyu just called again, saying that apart from the female lead Lin Pinru not being cast, everything else is ready. She also mentioned that CTS has sent an experienced middle-aged director this time.

Zhou Yang was in a very good mood, as her first TV series was about to start.

When he arrived at Wang Man's office, he didn't even bother to knock and just pushed the door open.

"How many times have I told you? Oh... Yangyang's here! Come on, sit down!"

Wang Man was annoyed when she was suddenly interrupted while explaining work to her deputy. However, she quickly changed her expression when she saw that the person who came was Zhou Yang.

The deputy was also very perceptive; knowing that the two were going to talk business, he said goodbye, then immediately excused himself and closed the door.

"Yangyang, I haven't seen you for a week. Have you been hiding at home in your honeymoon retreat the whole time?"

Wang Man's words carried a hint of sarcasm. If she had no other choice, she really wouldn't want her top star to get entangled with a woman like Xu Yingfei.

"No, I can't. After all, I'm an artist, and I need to prioritize my career."

After saying that, he threw the things he was holding onto the table with a thud.

Wang Man looked curious and asked, "What's this?"

"I had nothing better to do, so I wrote a script at home. I'm bringing it here for you to take a look at."

"No way? Yangyang, you can write screenplays? Really?"

Wang Man's tone was joking, and then she added:

"If you actually write the script, given the current state of Star Entertainment, I'm afraid we won't be able to help you raise funds for filming. After all, our financial situation has been bad for the past six months. If it weren't for Sun Weiwei and Lin Youyou supporting us, we would have been strapped for cash long ago."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "Also, your previous drama, 'Campus Belle,' caused a significant loss for investors. It will be difficult for you to recover in the drama market in the short term. I think it's more practical for you to focus on writing songs."

"The company doesn't need to worry about the investment. The production team is already prepared. I came to the company today to let you know that I might be bringing Xu Yingfei to the production team in a while, for about three or four months."

"What...what did you say? Where did you find these investors?"

Wang Man was truly terrified. Her artist had quietly written a script, and even the investors and the script were ready, while she, the agent, was kept in the dark.

Is it really necessary to be so scary?

"I didn't deliberately look for it. I knew the person in charge of CTS before, so I sent it over after I finished writing the script. Who knew they would actually be interested?"

Zhou Yang didn't explain further, but decided to put on a show first.

You mean CTS (China Television System)?

Wang Man gasped, her eyes widening even more than before.

"Yeah, in the entertainment industry, I only know CTS (China Television System), I'm not familiar with the others."

Zhou Yang spoke casually, as if he were recounting a trivial matter.

"That's CTS..."

As soon as she said that, Wang Man quickly picked up the two scripts. "Yangyang, you wait here. Don't go. Please don't go. I'm going to find Boss Lei right now."

"Sister Wang, you need to hurry, or CTS will contact me at any time."

Wang Man rushed to the general manager's office, and immediately placed the script in front of Lei Mingkai.

Seeing her panting and agitated, the latter immediately frowned and asked, "What happened?"

Wang Man patted her chest, and once her breathing had calmed down, she quickly said, "Yangyang wrote a script, and it's already been discussed with CTS..."

She repeated Zhou Yang's words verbatim.

"What...what did you say? When did this happen?"

After understanding the general situation, General Manager Lei Mingkai was equally surprised. "Have you read the script?"

"Not...not yet."

"Don't rush, let's each take one and finish reading the script first."

Afterwards, the two of them each grabbed one of the two scripts and quickly began reading...

Three hours later, the two closed the script at the same time. Wang Man, who was holding the lower part, quickly asked, "President Lei, what do you think?"

The latter glanced down and slowly said, "To be honest, it's not bad for a first-time writer to produce a script of this caliber, but the plot is just too melodramatic, with things like adultery, pregnancy, and jumping into the sea. It's really disappointing..."

Upon hearing this, Wang Man pressed further, "President Lei, what are your thoughts on Zhou Yang's new drama?"

Lei Mingkai threw the script in front of her and said, "Anyway, I don't need our investment. Since Huashi Media is willing to be the sucker, we can't stop them."

As the general manager, he couldn't be happier if someone offered him money to promote their top star.

"Go back and tell Zhou Yang that Xingchen Entertainment will fully support him, and we're even willing to contribute some funds for free promotion of the show later on. As for the rest, we'll see after he stumbles a few more times. To be honest, I'm not optimistic about this show..."

Wang Man returned to her office with the script in her arms.

"What did CEO Lei say?"

Zhou Yang was alone in the office, and had long since gotten bored of playing on his phone.

"What else can I say? You acted first and informed me later..."

Wang Man asked curiously, "By the way, what role does Xu Yingfei play in this drama?"

"The second female lead, Ellie."

"what?"

Wang Man looked worried. "She just divorced her ex-husband not long ago, and it's been making headlines in the industry. Is it appropriate for her to join a film crew so soon?"

This divorce almost completely offended Tangtian International, which is why the latter unilaterally announced a ban on her within the industry. If it weren't for CTS, the leading entertainment company in China, most production companies wouldn't dare to use her.

"Just got divorced? That's good, it generates buzz, doesn't it?"

"You can say whatever you want, no matter what."
