How to capture the evil villain? I choose to be his mother!

Chapter 440 The Most Disliked Actress's Mother in the Entertainment Industry (52)
Le Yu had made this call countless times.

However, the other end remained unanswered, as usual.

Her beautiful face contorted for a moment.

A terrifying, ferocious emotion nearly tore apart the beautiful face that fans praised as an angel.

Looking at her from the side, Zhou Jing felt that the person in front of her was a complete stranger.

"Xiaoyu, how about I use my phone..."

As soon as Zhou Jing handed over the phone, Le Yu flatly refused.

"Take it away! I don't want it!"

Seeing that she was unhappy, Zhou Jing had no choice but to silently put away her phone.

Le Yu then realized that her attitude was inappropriate.

She quickly composed herself and looked at Zhou Jing pitifully:

"Sister Zhou, I'm sorry, Cheng You hasn't been answering my calls lately, and I'm really getting a bit upset."

Zhou Jing's ordinary face revealed a hint of coldness:
"But Xiaoyu, you shouldn't spend too much time on a man. Have you forgotten how you told me about your ambitious plans back then?"

Le Yu lowered her head in disappointment, and after a long while, she said:

"But what can I do, Sister Zhou? I really like him..."

She soon burst into tears.

After all, she was the child he had protected and who was like a younger sister to him.

Zhou Jing looked at it for a while, then finally sighed and pulled Le Yu into her arms.

"Yes, Sister Zhou knows, Sister Zhou understands you. People always get caught up in momentary emotions. I'm just your manager, and I've been a bit too anxious seeing you not in a good state lately."

Le Yu nestled in her arms, the sarcasm in her eyes almost impossible to conceal—

Do you know? Do you understand?
What do you, Zhou Jing, know?
The words that attracted you back then were not Yue Yu's true thoughts at all!

Instead, she had heard it in her previous life after Zhai Ling and Zhou Jing appeared on an interview program as the 'best partners in the entertainment industry,' and she copied it verbatim!

According to Zhou Jing, these words were spoken by Zhai Ling herself, which deeply moved Zhou Jing. That's why she decided to confront the difficult Zhai Ling's agency and then used all her resources to help Zhai Ling reach even greater heights.

Now that these words are spoken by Le Yu, Le Yu naturally takes over the position that Zhai Ling held in Zhou Jing's heart in her previous life, and becomes the one that Zhou Jing protects and cultivates.

But Yue Yu always felt a little uneasy inside.

She knew better than anyone that those words were not what she wanted to hear.

What makes someone a legend in the entertainment industry? What makes someone leave a lasting mark on film history?

What need did Yue Yu have for these things?
If Zhou Jing finds out, will she leave her?
Just like Cheng You, who has recently become eccentric?
"hiss."

Zhou Jing cried out in pain.

Le Yu was flustered and at a loss, like a child who had done something wrong.

"I'm so sorry, Sister Zhou! I accidentally hurt you!"

Zhou Jing was only pinched on the back by Le Yu, and because of the angle, it wasn't easy to see, so she shook her head and said:
"It's okay, it doesn't hurt much."

He then offered Yue Yu a few words of comfort.

Le Yu finally felt better and started talking to Zhou Jing about the audition for the new movie.

Zhou Jing spoke eloquently:

"Don't underestimate this low-budget production. The director has been working on it for years, meticulously refining the script. Even if you're playing the second female lead, your performance will be outstanding and quite different from your previous screen roles, which is how you bring a fresh perspective to the audience..."

Zhou Jing talked for a long time, but Le Yu seemed distracted.

She glanced at the movie's title and immediately understood.

She knew about this one. It was a very well-received movie in her past life, starring Zhai Ling, and she heard it won quite a few awards.

However, the box office performance was not very good. Compared with those box office hits that easily reach billions, a few hundred million is simply not enough.

Moreover, she's just a supporting female character and not the core of the entire movie.

How much of this benefit will actually fall on her?
With that thought in mind, Yue Yu was starting to look down on the movie.

Since her rebirth, her life has been smooth sailing, which has also fostered her excessively high standards.

Le Yu only wants the best and hottest projects in the industry; he's too lazy to put any effort into making low-budget movies!

What she's thinking about now is the movie directed by the famous director that Zhai Ling made after this one, which truly broke box office records and became a landmark.

If Le Yu can bring her family to invest money in this project, they will definitely make a fortune.

Oh, right, I can also invite Cheng You along; maybe that will change his attitude...

While Le Yu was lost in thought, she didn't forget that the person in front of her was Zhou Jing, the manager she relied on.

Zhou Jing has been in the entertainment industry for many years and has an incredibly deep network of connections.

Moreover, very few people know that she comes from a family of performers, with her elders spread throughout the entertainment industry.

This is why Le Yu tried every means to snatch Zhou Jing, her agent, from Zhai Ling.

That's why, even at this critical juncture, Le Yu still tries to conceal her emotions from Zhou Jing rather than revealing them too directly.

However, Yue Yu is still too inexperienced.

As shrewd as Zhou Jing was, how could she not see through Le Yu's perfunctory attitude and inattentiveness?

But Zhou Jing had a biased view of Le Yu, always feeling that she was troubled by love.

Although I felt helpless, I didn't criticize them too harshly.

Zhou Jing was still hesitating whether or not to reveal that the film's director was a student of another famous director.

While Zhou Jing is optimistic about the project she's currently working on, she's even more interested in the project with the renowned director that's coming up later.

That famous director is just too high-level, with an extraordinary status in the industry, and we can't usually get in touch with him.

If you film a movie directed by a famous director's student and perform well enough, you might get a recommendation...

In Zhou Jing's view, this is the better approach.

However, Zhou Jing never told Le Yu this news.

Firstly, because the situation was uncertain, and secondly, because Zhou Jing was worried that revealing the information would cause Le Yu to lose her composure and perform even worse.

So Zhou Jing had no choice but to put the matter aside for the time being, intending to tell Le Yu slowly after it was finalized.

Who knew that Le Yu wasn't interested in this project at all?

Is it possible that Yueyu is simply not meant to be with this project?
Zhou Jing was completely baffled.

Another voice inside her was telling her—

No, it's not like that.

If it were the Yue Yu from her memory who could utter those words and possess such ambition, she should understand the significance of her plan.

They should have been soulmates, partners who could understand each other's deepest meanings without needing to speak.

But why... is it different now?

Is it because of Cheng You's existence?
Zhou Jing's intuition told her that this wasn't the case.

But she couldn't figure out the reason, and felt a strange sense of bewilderment.

Zhou Jing had a vague feeling that something was wrong with her life...
