Entertainment: This top celebrity is really letting loose!

Shanghai, Tangtian International.

Wei Han had just returned to the company when his agent called him over.

"What's wrong, Sister Hong?"

The manager, referred to as Sister Hong, asked, "Has anything been affected on set lately?"

Wei Han's divorce caused quite a stir in the entertainment industry recently, coinciding with the release of "The Republic of China: A War of Resistance" by his own company.

This drama is a major project planned by Tangtian International for next year, and it is also a key production to test whether Wei Han, a rising star, can carry a big production. Therefore, as his agent, she cares about it very much.

Wei Han shook his head and said, "No! Filming is already more than halfway done and going very smoothly."

Then he added, "Sister Hong, if there's nothing else, I'll head back now..."

As the lead actor, his scenes were almost entirely concentrated in the early stages of filming, and he only managed to steal a moment to return to the company today.

"Wait a moment!"

Sister Hong stopped him and said, "There's something I haven't told you yet. CTS called last night to invite you to star in an urban romance drama, but I declined."

"CTS?"

Hearing about this company, Wei Han was a little surprised. The two companies are rivals in the industry, since their businesses are mainly film and television dramas. The difference is that Huashi is far ahead in the film market, while Tangtian International has gradually consolidated its position as the leader in the domestic entertainment small screen in recent years.

Sister Hong continued, "But I refused."

After speaking, he looked up to observe Wei Han. Seeing that Wei Han's expression was normal, he secretly praised him and continued, "Their script this time is not only terrible, but the role they gave you is also fourth-billed, but these are not the main reasons..."

Wei Han asked curiously, "Then what is the main reason?"

"The male lead in this drama is Zhou Yang, and the second female lead is Xu Yingfei..."

"What?"

Wei Han almost jumped up, "That bitch, I don't know how she managed to climb up to CTS."

Hongjie thought he was shocked to hear his ex-wife's name and didn't pay much attention. Little did she know that Wei Han cared about and hated Zhou Yang the most. The hatred for stealing his wife was almost irreconcilable.

She immediately comforted him, saying, "Don't get excited. The higher-ups have high expectations for this 'The Republic of China in Flames of War,' aiming to win the Huabiao and Golden Rooster Awards. You must live up to their expectations this time..."

Wei Han nodded solemnly and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely not let the company down."

Sister Hong nodded in satisfaction, then sneered:

"CTS's move is purely a desperate attempt to recover from a crisis. In recent years, we have been leaving them further and further behind in the small-screen field, and they are actually trying to use Zhou Yang's popularity to make a comeback. I think they will probably become a laughing stock in the industry this time."

Beijing, CTS Media.

"Director Gao, you wanted to see me?"

A young goddess with a sweet face, fair skin, and an inherently dignified and noble temperament pushed open the office door.

With her exquisite makeup, Gao Xiaoyu's good looks and temperament almost overshadowed her bare face today.

The girl's name is Jin Ran. She graduated from Beijing Film Academy and has been a key figure in the company's efforts in the film industry in recent years. She has filmed many big productions, but with little success.

The latter nodded, gesturing for her to sit down first.

"Ranran, you've been with CTS Media for four years now, haven't you?"

Jin Ran nodded and said, "Four years and three months."

"I've only been in charge of the film department for six months, and I've heard about your work..."

Before she could finish her sentence, a hint of embarrassment flashed across Jin Ran's beautiful eyes.

Four years ago, he graduated from Beijing Film Academy with the highest score and joined Huashi Media. The company valued him highly and almost groomed him to be a top actress in the film industry. Unfortunately, he himself was not up to par.

Despite various big-budget productions and Lunar New Year films not giving her a chance, she just can't seem to become famous, and is occasionally criticized by well-known directors in the industry as "unable to make her a star."

Therefore, when Gao Xiaoyu mentioned this matter, she felt both embarrassed and worried: Could it be that she was going to be abandoned by the company?

After observing her expression for a moment, Gao Xiaoyu suddenly said, "Have you ever thought about developing a career in television dramas?"

"The television drama field?"

Jin Ran looked surprised.

"That's right! I happen to have a TV series that needs a female lead right now, and after thinking about it, I've decided to give you a try."

Gao Xiaoyu had no choice. Her Uncle Liu had patted his chest and promised to take on all the supporting roles, but he had left her with the biggest challenge: the lead role.

Firstly, she didn't want to disappoint Zhou Yang, who was far away in Shanghai, and secondly, she wanted to use this opportunity to prove her judgment.

"Director Gao, the new drama you're talking about isn't the one that's been circulating internally in the company lately, 'The Temptation to Go Home', is it?"

Gao Xiaoyu nodded and said, "That's right, it's that one."

Jin Ran's pretty face instantly turned unnatural. Recently, this drama, "The Temptation to Go Home," has become very famous within CTS. First, it was defined as a "melodramatic drama" by Director Liu of the TV Drama Department. Later, Hu Dabiao, the perennial assistant director, has been wearing a long face ever since he was appointed as the director of the drama.

She hadn't expected to be involved this time, and thinking of this, she quickly said:

"I appreciate your kind offer, Director Gao, but... I don't want to get involved in the small screen so soon. I'd rather focus more on the film industry."

If it were a well-known TV drama director or a big-budget production, that would be fine, but the problem is that if I actually acted in such a melodramatic and terrible drama, the consequences would be almost unimaginable.

Don't rush to refuse.

Faced with the rejection, Gao Xiaoyu didn't seem too surprised and continued:

"I've seen almost all of your work over the past few years and spoken with several directors. Their opinion is that your acting is solid, but your characteristics aren't distinctive enough. Although you're very beautiful, you don't stand out on screen either..."

Hearing her boss's evaluation, Jin Ran felt a pang of disappointment and asked, "Is that so?"

"These are honest and insightful comments from several directors. However, if you are willing to try the small screen, all these so-called shortcomings will disappear, and your external qualities will be magnified infinitely."

"But……"

Jin Ran shook her head, her beautiful eyes filled with conflicting emotions—a mixture of resentment and worry.

I have indeed made no achievements in the film industry in recent years, but what if I still can't make it in the small screen field?

Gao Xiaoyu then added, "If you are willing to star in 'The Temptation to Go Home,' I can personally make a promise to you: if the result is not ideal, I will compensate you in terms of film production later."

Upon hearing this, Jin Ran no longer hesitated and immediately said, "I'll act it."

With Gao Xiaoyu, the person in charge, as her promise, she was willing to take the gamble.

Furthermore, in the entertainment industry, which actor has never acted in a bad movie? One more or one less makes no difference.

Gao Xiaoyu patted her on the shoulder, then stood up and placed the script in front of her, saying, "Trust me, this will be the right choice."

After she left with the script, Gao Xiaoyu immediately called Zhou Yang.

"I've already finalized the female lead casting, so there shouldn't be any problem. However, Wei Han declined, and Tangtian International said he's currently unavailable."

"Then let's finalize the contract as soon as possible and get ready to start production, the sooner the better."

Zhou Yang then joked, "Aren't you afraid of suffering a huge loss this time?"

"I haven't thought about that."

Why?

Now it was Zhou Yang's turn to be curious. The cost of this drama, including the initial filming and later promotion, wouldn't be too far off, even if it wasn't more than 100 million.

If the company fails, even CTS (China Television System) cannot remain indifferent.

Gao Xiaoyu said earnestly, "I believe in you, and I believe even more in my own judgment."
