Entertainment: For me, reverse love is the most deadly

After a brief greeting, the three of them quickly got down to business.

“The script of Celebration and the Year was very well adapted, and Mr. Chen was very interested in it, especially the profound connotation of the story and the complexity of the characters.”

Wang Jinghua's words inspired Wang Zhi, and he realized that this was a good start.

"However, these alone are not enough to convince me. You need to give more convincing reasons, otherwise I will not let Teacher Chen take on this drama."

The next words made Wang Zhi's heart sink.

Isn't it still possible?

Wang Zhi felt a little disappointed.

But he also knew that it was reasonable for the agent of an entertainment star like Chen Daoming to make higher demands.

Lu Bai remained calm. He nodded slightly and said, "Sister Hua, we understand your concerns very well. Teacher Chen's acting skills and status in the entertainment industry are unmatched, so we will naturally show our full sincerity."

"First of all, we will give you a salary that satisfies both you and Mr. Chen. Secondly, we will fully respect Mr. Chen's schedule. We will never start filming if Mr. Chen is not in place."

Such sincerity is indeed true.

Wang Jinghua was slightly moved.

She could see Lu Bai and the others' respect for Chen Daoming and their focus on the show.

Wang Zhi seized the opportunity to further persuade her: "Sister Hua, the publicity efforts for our drama will also be unprecedented, and Teacher Chen's superb acting skills will definitely be seen and appreciated by more audiences."

"Moreover, Penguin Pictures and Jiaxing Media are both our investors." Lu Bai directly mentioned the names of two major film and television companies.

There was a strange light in Wang Jinghua's eyes, and she obviously had more considerations about the joining of Penguin Pictures and Jiaxing Media.

After all, the influence and resources of these two companies in the film and television industry are crucial.

Their participation will undoubtedly greatly enhance the quality and dissemination of this drama.

In short, this is a big-budget, big-production drama!
“It seems that you have really put a lot of effort into this drama.” Wang Jinghua smiled and her contempt for Park Hyatt Media faded.

She began to re-examine the young man in front of her—a young man full of ambition and vitality who should not be underestimated.

This is Wang Jinghua’s evaluation of Lu Bai.

Lu Bai smiled and nodded, and said gently: "Sister Hua, if you have any questions, please feel free to raise them. We can discuss solutions together."

Wang Zhi also agreed, "Indeed, Sister Hua. The script of our drama is very solid, and the production team is also the best in the industry. With the addition of Teacher Chen, this drama will definitely become a trend-setting masterpiece!"

After pondering for a moment, Wang Jinghua put forward her request: "I need to see a more detailed shooting plan, an in-depth interpretation of the role, and the treatment and protection measures you provide for Teacher Chen in the crew."

"Sister Hua, please rest assured. We will assign a dedicated assistant team to Teacher Chen." Lu Bai responded confidently, "Regarding the shooting plan, we will work closely with Teacher Chen's team to ensure that everything goes smoothly. As for the interpretation of the role, I will arrange a team of screenwriters to work with Teacher Chen to have in-depth exchanges and discussions on the role at any time."

Wang Jinghua was silent for a while, then smiled: "Okay! I have already felt your sincerity. In fact, Mr. Chen is also very interested in this play, and I think he is likely to accept it."

Lu Bai and Wang Zhi were delighted to hear this, but Wang Jinghua added, "However, I can't guarantee that he will accept. I will convey your words to him. After all, the final decision still has to be made by Teacher Chen himself."

After hearing this, the two felt relieved and nodded in understanding.

We are already 80% sure about the situation.

After chatting for a few more minutes, Wang Jinghua left the cafe.

Wang Zhi finished the last sip of coffee, stood up and said, "Let's go, it's time for us to go back."

"No hurry, sit for a while." Lu Bai seemed quite calm. He leaned back in his chair, slightly closed his eyes, and seemed to be thinking about something.

"Mr. Lu, you seem to be quite relaxed. I, Wang, am so busy that I am almost bald." Wang Zhi shook his head and smiled, "I have to go back and think about the shooting plan first."

"Director Wang, don't be anxious. Even if Teacher Chen is willing to play Emperor Qing, we haven't found all the actors for the main roles yet. How are you going to write this plan?" Lu Bai's words were like a bucket of cold water poured on Wang Zhi's head.

Yes!

Wang Zhi suddenly realized.

There are still several important roles that haven’t found suitable actors yet, so there’s naturally no way to talk about the filming plan!
"Oh!" Wang Zhi sighed heavily and glanced at Lu Bai's calm look.

Suddenly, a thought occurred to him: Could it be that Lu Bai has already found a suitable actor?

At this moment, the door of the box opened and a middle-aged man walked in.

"Director Wang, long time no see! Lu Bai, nice to meet you, hello!" The person who came with a hearty laughter was none other than the much-anticipated veteran actor Wu Gang!
Wang Zhi was stunned, his face full of disbelief and surprise.

Wu Gang is a highly respected veteran actor in the industry. He has superb acting skills and has created countless classic roles.

It was really unexpected that Lu Bai could invite him.

"Teacher Wu, why are you here?" Wang Zhi quickly stood up to greet him, so excited that he was a little incoherent.

Wu Gang smiled and responded: "Lu Bai invited me to come and talk, and I am also very interested in your film "Celebration and Year"."

Lu Bai also stood up and said with a smile: "Teacher Wu, it's a great honor to have you here. I have always felt that you are particularly suitable for a role in our play."

Wu Gang asked curiously: "Oh? Which character is it?"

Lu Bai said calmly: "Chen Pingping. This role is complex and multifaceted. It requires an actor with profound acting skills and a strong aura to interpret it. In my mind, you are the most suitable candidate."

Wu Gang was secretly delighted, as his idea coincided with Lu Bai's.

But he remained cautious: "This role is indeed very challenging. I need to read the script before making a decision."

Lu Bai immediately handed over the script he had prepared long ago: "Teacher Wu, please take your time to read it. We are very much looking forward to having you join our crew."

Wang Zhi also said excitedly: "Teacher Wu, if you can play Chen Pingping, this drama will be even more interesting!"

Wu Gang smiled, sat on the sofa and began to read the script carefully.

The box suddenly became quiet, and Wang Zhi and Lu Bai had different expressions.

Wang Zhi seemed a little nervous, but Lu Bai remained calm.

After a while, Wu Gang raised his head, his eyes sparkling with excitement: "This role is indeed very attractive and charming." He paused and continued: "But why should I act in it? After all, this is just a web drama."

Lu Bai smiled slyly: "Because Teacher Chen Daoming has agreed to play the role of Emperor Qing. Aren't you looking forward to the wonderful rivalry with Teacher Chen?"

"Okay, I'll take it!" Wu Gang agreed to play the role of Chen Pingping without hesitation.

Wang Zhi on the side was stunned.

He never expected that Lu Bai could come up with such a brilliant idea...
