Chapter 768: Who Is The Substitute
Gu Xie was in the studio looking at a document.
There were not that many people in his studio, only around 20 people. Even if something was small, it could still contain the essentials. The few celebrities under him had good performances in idol dramas and movies, taking one-third of the flow in the movie industry.
His business was very broad.
The studio was only one floor and was not considered big. It was furnished very elegantly. The reception was furnished like a balcony of a hotel with a seaside view. The owner’s refined taste could be seen everywhere.
Gu Xie greeted Lin Xiaojuan and Shen Qianshu and asked them to take a seat. Lin Xiaojuan was quite quiet.
“Sixth Brother, what’s the matter with He Xiaoai?” Shen Qianshu asked.
“She wants to act as the second female lead in the jewelry influential family.” Gu Xie replied
“Xiaojuan, doesn’t that role happen to be Tong Hua’s mommy?”
“Yes!” Lin Xiaojuan responded.
“What the... That disgusts me.” Shen Qianshu felt suspicious. “She had lost face in front of everyone last time. Why is she still looking for you to give her a role?”
Does she have any backbone?
Gu Xie said, “After the new policy is out, we will be required to obtain a permit from the relevant department for the filming of this movie. It also involves customs and various other things, so it is more troublesome. She is making use of her background to change this role.”
If it was one year ago when there was no Shen Qianshu, no Tong Hua, and no Lin Xiaojuan, this exchange would be extremely cost-effective to the studio.
One second female lead role in exchange for the relevant department’s support.
Any boss with a brain would not reject it.
“Isn’t Mayor He very afraid of Fourth Brother?”
Gu Xie said, “Mayor He wants to transfer to the central.”
“He got promoted?”
Gu Xie nodded his head. “The newly appointed Mayor happens to be the Gu Family’s enemy. He Xiaoai knows about the relationship between Fourth Brother and me. If she wants to make things difficult, the review of this movie will be much tougher. Hence, she has the confidence to come and talk terms with me.”
It was considered to be an eye-opener for Lin Xiaojuan.
“Then is there no other way?”
Gu Xie looked at his girlfriend whose face was filled with unhappiness. He also saw them upstairs just now, and they looked like they were having a dispute. He also knew what to expect. “Don’t worry, I have already rejected her.”
Sure enough, Lin Xiaojuan’s face looked better. However, she still felt depressed.
Substitute?
How to substitute?
He Xiaoai wouldn’t say that for no reason.
It was also quite baffling that Gu Xie would have a crush on herself. She was also unprepared. He was a renowned big movie king in the movie world. He was outstanding and was a man from a good family. Why would he like her?
Lin Xiaojuan had always been suspicious and troubled.
She was a very rational person. The boyfriend that she dated for many years had an affair. The artistes that she brought in had a change of heart. When they met a better manager, they immediately dumped her and flew solo. A few of her good friends in the entertainment circle were loving in front of people, but they did what they wanted behind people.
She had stayed much longer in this circle than Shen Qianshu.
After she finished university, she became the celebrities’ assistant. She worked her way up step by step.
She did not believe in love.
And she also did not believe in love at first sight.
How could Gu Xie start explaining so many years of liking her secretly?
Could it be that there were really hidden facts?
When Lin Xiaojuan thought of the possibility of herself really being someone’s substitute, she burnt in anger. She had already spent all her life cultivating. Hence, she could still sit quietly in front of Gu Xie. She did not ask embarrassing questions in front of Qianshu.
She seemed not to understand Gu Xie that well.
She knew nothing about his past.
“Brother, you have rejected her. What about this movie’s permit?”
“I have my own ways,” Gu Xie said. “There are many matters that can be accomplished if you want to do it.”
“Ok, then I’ll go and discuss with Xu Ning about the problems of our follow-up working together. You all have a chat.” Shen Qianshu patted Lin Xiaojuan’s hand and turned around to go look for Xu Ning.
