1234 One-sided Ban
However, these glorious things happened two to three years before the car accident in her previous life. It was only 2002 now. Although Zhao Yifei became famous overnight, she was not very experienced in the entertainment circle.
“Are there any other actresses?” Jian Ai couldn’t help but ask.
At this time, it was useless to dwell on Zhao Yifei. Without signing the contract, there was no bargaining chip to negotiate with the other party. Whether or not she acted was up to others.
Qiao Yuan nodded with a livid expression. “Yes, but their conditions are too inferior to Zhao Yifei’s in all aspects. Our drama spent an enormous sum of money. If there’s no famous actress to act as the female lead, all our plans will be ruined!”
The so-called plan was also a proposal to promote newcomers that the upper echelons of Rose Entertainment discussed during a meeting!
The company would spend a lot of money to choose the script and production team. Then, they would let the company’s newcomers with potential take on the role of the male lead. They would then choose a famous female celebrity with reputation, acting skills, and popularity in the entertainment circle to be the female lead to drive the viewership ratings!
This way, the newcomers in the company would become famous under the lead of the female celebrity. This was a useful trick for various entertainment companies in the future.
We could say some famous female celebrities have a carp system. They could make all the newcomer male actors they collaborated with famous. They were quite powerful!
This move also had a miraculous effect. There was basically no negative news. It could be said that it worked every time!
“Why don’t we look for Tang Xinru? The other party seemed to be quite interested in our script before,” Jiang Shan suggested.
However, Qiao Yuan rejected it without thinking. “No, she can’t handle such a big production. Her fanbase is also too fluid. We can’t guarantee the viewership ratings!”
Jiang Shan sighed thoughtfully. Tang Xinru was already one of the more outstanding candidates. Even if she couldn’t do it, then the others wouldn’t stand a chance.
Such a problem happened during filming. It was a headache, but as the vice president, Qiao Yuan had to think of a way. The company had invested so much money. No matter what, they could not let Zhao Yifei destroy it.
“I’ll contact another entertainment company and see if there are any suitable actresses with available schedules. No matter what, I have to find a candidate who’s on par with Zhao Yifei!” Qiao Yuan lost his temper. He did not believe that there were no other suitable actresses in the entertainment circle besides Zhao Yifei.
Not only did he want to find someone, but he also wanted to find a better actress than Zhao Yifei!
Seeing this, Jian Ai immediately chuckled and slowly said under Qiao Yuan and Jiang Shan’s surprised gazes, “Alright, leave this to me. The filming is starting soon. Even if there are suitable actresses, who knows when you’ll be able to talk to them?!”
“The most important thing now is that everything can be prepared on the filming day so that the project can proceed smoothly! I’ll find the actress we’re lacking!”
“CEO…” Qiao Yuan was stunned and couldn’t help but ask, “You’ll find her? Where are you going to find her?”
Not that Qiao Yuan did not believe Jian Ai, but the people in charge of contacting the entertainment companies in Rose Entertainment were all from the project department. Jian Ai rarely came to the company, so how could she know people from the entertainment companies?
Jian Ai smiled. “Tell me your request!”
She did not know anyone from entertainment companies, but she knew Yun Buyao. In the entertainment circle, one had to owe anyone a favor, so it was better to ask one’s own people!
Qiao Yuan nodded. Although he was suspicious, he said honestly, “We require her to have good acting skills and high popularity. There are no hard requirements for age. Anyone below thirty years old is fine. As for the rest…”
At this point, Qiao Yuan was stuck for a moment. In the end, he thought for a long time and said, “With Zhao Yifei as the bottom line, she can only be better than her. She can’t be worse than her!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Yuan blinked, as if he felt that this request was a little too high. He couldn’t help but look at Jian Ai and mutter, “Can you find her?”
Jian Ai smiled helplessly and nodded. “I understand. I’ll try!”
She realized that Qiao Yuan was really going against Zhao Yifei’s team. Even if things didn’t work out with them, they had to work hard and fight for themselves!
Jian Ai immediately took out her phone and sat on the sofa. She found Yun Buyao’s number and dialed it.
The call was picked up quickly. The environment was a little noisy, as if they were at an activity venue. Yun Buyao couldn’t help but raise her voice. “Sect Master!”
“Please help me!” Jian Ai went straight to the point!
Yun Buyao: “Tell me what it is!”
Jian Ai: “The company is filming a historical fantasy drama. The female lead stood us up at the last minute. We’re lacking a female lead!”
“She needs to be popular and have acting skills. It’s best if she’s an A-list celebrity who’s currently famous in the country. The more famous she is, the better!”
When Yun Buyao heard this, she did not doubt it. She only asked, “When do you want her?”
Jian Ai looked up at Qiao Yuan and asked, “When do you want her?”
“We have to sign the contract at the end of this month at the latest!” Qiao Yuan quickly said.
“We have to sign the contract at the end of this month at the latest!” Jian Ai repeated into the phone.
Yun Buyao agreed. “Alright, give me an hour. I’ll see who’s the most suitable!”
After hanging up, Jian Ai smiled at Qiao Yuan. “It’s done. We’ll have an answer in an hour.”
As she spoke, Jian Ai stood up and said to the stunned Qiao Yuan and Jiang Shan, “Alright, don’t be angry about this. In the future, if you meet such an actor who doesn’t sign a contract, you don’t have to give them a chance. Just look for another one because such a person must have other thoughts. They are either waiting for a better script or want to raise the price!”
“No matter which it is, we don’t have to rush to serve them!”
Qiao Yuan nodded. This time, he wanted Zhao Yifei too much, so he gave her such a long chance. He did not expect to be tricked instead. He would naturally be more careful in the future!
As the CEO of the corporation, Jian Ai naturally wouldn’t let this go easily. She couldn’t help but ask, “Which entertainment company does this Zhao Yifei belong to?”
Jiang Shan said, “Huayi. It’s considered a relatively famous entertainment company in the industry!”
Jian Ai snorted. “It’s useless no matter how famous they are. Blacklist this entertainment company. As long as Zhao Yifei is still in this company, we won’t collaborate with them.”
The moment Jian Ai opened her mouth, she wanted to unilaterally ban the other party from collaborating. This action surprised Qiao Yuan and Jiang Shan, but on the other hand, it was true. They had suffered a loss, but they still wanted to continue collaborating in the future? They could not do such a collaboration!
Jian Ai looked at the time and was about to go to her brother’s office and wait for Yun Buyao’s news before talking about this. Unexpectedly, the phone rang before she went out!
