Chapter 342: Chapter 341: Surprise Female Lead

However, the security guards did not listen to her at all and only treated her as a brainless fan.
The girl waited for a long time in the cold winter wind, but she still could not enter the building of Wang Entertainment. She wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and endured the hunger in her stomach. She stumbled and stopped a taxi. The destination was Song Entertainment.
The girl had never been so helpless. The work she had worked so hard to create had been plagiarized and stolen by others.
She had come to ask for help, but she had no way to do so. She had even been chased away…
Why did the world have to be so cruel to her?
It was winter in the capital, and the weather was freezing cold.
Lin Xiaozhou played games every day and did not pay much attention to keeping warm. His hands were frostbitten, and Zhao Yan felt his heart ache. He cooked mutton soup to keep him warm and even had floor heating set up in the room.
Gu Chu coveted the mutton soup his uncle made. She found a thermal mug and wanted to give the warm mutton soup her uncle made personally to Manxi. Gu Manxi worked very hard. She negotiated with the television crew and prepared to join the filming crew of “The Wind Blows’.
The filming crew of “The Wind Blows” was also very puzzled.
They were just a small, shabby filming crew with little investment and poor props. They could not afford to hire celebrities and could only find some talented newbies to fill the roles. Unexpectedly, one day, the director of the film crew, Li Ye, suddenly received a notice from the higher-ups that the new
female star, Gu Manxi, had accepted the script and wanted to play the female lead.
‘The new director was stunned on the spot…
Hot damn!
Gu Manxi, the goddess?
Isn’t she the female lead of my master’s movie?
Li Ye could be considered as one of Lu Shanhe’s disciples. Lu Shanhe had been a guest professor at the Film Academy for a period of time, talking about film and television shooting techniques. Li Ye was the most attentive student in that class. Lu Shanhe saw that Li Ye was quite talented and guided him
for a while. Li Ye was given the opportunity to become a director in the industry.
“The Wing Blows” was Li Ye’s first time as a director of a television series. In the past, he had taken the film assistant director role and also filmed some short clips. This time, Song Entertainment gave him the opportunity to take full charge of the small-budget online drama “The Wing Blows”. Li Ye was
under a lot of pressure.
‘The production team was really poor… The initial female lead for this film was only going to be a B-listed celebrity.
Although this actress was in the bottom tier of the B-list, she asked for tens of millions of yuan for the contract! Seeing that the production team could not afford to pay her that much, the actress simply left…
The television drama was yet to be filmed, and the female lead was already gone. Li Ye was so worried that his hair almost turned white overnight.
Who would have thought that he would be able to find a perfect female lead without any effort? The currently popular actress Gu Manxi, a great beauty with good acting skills and good looks, actually agreed to join the production team of “The Wind Blows’!
Moreover, she didn’t ask for a large sum of money either!
Li Ye felt like the luckiest person on Earth.
Not only that, when Song Entertainment’s CEO Song Chen heard about this, his eyebrows slightly furrowed. He briefly looked at the filming funds for “The Wind Blows”, which was only 20 million… How could Song Chen bear to see his wife suffer working for a poor crew? He immediately gave them 50
million on the spot and announced that he would invest in this small-budget online drama.
A b-grade online drama had become s-grade…
Li Ye almost burst into tears. In the middle of the night, he hid under the blanket and sobbed. He secretly swore that he would put all his efforts into filming “The Wind Blows’. He would definitely hand over a piece of work that would satisfy the audience, Song Corporation, and Gu Manxi!
Of course, Gu Manxi’s announcement that she would join the cast of “The Wind Blows” had attracted a lot of ridicule online. Most of them came from Cao Yuezhi’’s fans:
“Yo, didn’t they say that Song Ent values Gu Manxi very much? They actually let her take on a small online drama, haha….”
