Rebirth from the Ashes Chapter 36

Chapter 36

Su Yi said, “Don’t worry, since it’s a large-scale project, shooting will only be complete by the second half of this year. The authorization policies of TV shows are constantly changing.”

Su Mushi widened his eyes. “Dad, are you saying that their show might not pass authorization?”

He feared that the show that he once rejected would become a hit, and if that happened, he would not forgive himself.

Su Yi threw him a warning look. “These are the secrets of upper management and you mustn’t let the cat out of the bag. The second half of the year will be limited to shows with historical and rebirth themes.”

Su Mushi felt relieved. “Don’t worry, Dad. I won’t tell a soul.”

The show that he rejected was like the rubbish he discarded. Nobody else should be a part of it, and even if the show did get produced, it should not be successful.

The cast of “The Smiling Nation” were newcomers signed by Cosmos Entertainment.

Yuan Yu had booked a private room at a restaurant and invited the celebrities involved in “The Smiling Nation”. The actors would have lunch with him and meet Lil Chairman Shen at the same time.

Shen Xi arrived early and was the only one in the private room.

Soon, someone opened the door to the room and a beautiful, sexy woman entered. She eyed Shen Xi with a scowl. “Are you the female lead of “The Smiling Nation”?”

Shen Xi glanced at her and said calmly, “You’re the second female lead.”

Gao Meng was one of the new actresses signed by her company. As she refused the casting couch, she was still a Z-lister in the industry, despite being in it for three years.

From what Shen Xi recalled, Gao Meng managed to secure an opportunity when she was close to thirty and became famous. She was a late bloomer.

The actress had good acting skills and was versatile in her roles. She could live up to the expectations of the script and possessed a similar charisma to the second female lead, who had a b*tchy demeanor.

“Do you have a problem with that? You better watch out, I won’t remain the second female lead forever.” Gao Meng thought that Shen Xi was making fun of her and stared at her chest. “You aren’t somebody either, little girl. I heard the screenwriter is from our company. Very poor taste, I must say.”

“Are you saying that the screenwriter shouldn’t have picked you as the second female lead?” Shen Xi gazed at her coldly. “That you’ll be happy when she kicks you out?”

Gao Meng scoffed and said in a hostile manner, “The screenwriter was the one who picked me, not you. If you’ve got a problem with that, speak to the screenwriter!”

She would not be nice towards those who might rob her of her opportunities and resources. Thus, she had to show that she meant business.

Everybody in the industry was here to make a name for themselves. The ones who came from the same company were either afraid that the other party would rob them of their resources, or they looked down on each other. They did not bother to hide their true feelings towards one another!

Shen Xi sipped her tea peacefully while maintaining her icy stare. She smiled. “Then I hope you won’t regret it.”

“Do you think so highly of yourself? We’re both alike and we work for the same people. You don’t have to act all high and mighty.” Gao Meng walked towards Shen Xi in her three-inch stiletto heels, trying to intimidate the latter with her height. “Quit joking, little girl. I heard that our company’s screenwriter is a formidable figure. Even the director has to obey her.

Who the heck are you? As if the screenwriter will listen to you! I wasn’t born yesterday.”

Shen Xi ignored her taunts but merely covered her nose with a disgusted expression. “Use another type of perfume. It doesn’t suit you.”

Gao Meng had never met someone who disrespected her this way. She was so mad that she scrunched up her beautiful face. “You…”

Someone opened the door to the private room. They overheard an exchange of pleasantries.

Gao Meng recomposed herself and sat beside Shen Xi, throwing her a warning gaze! The female lead was a force to be reckoned with!
