The Godfather of Chinese Entertainment's Little Flowers

Beijing, HR District, Leyang Film and Television Company.

Inside the interview room, the company boss, Gan Wei, frowned and kept flipping through the resumes in front of him.

Her makeup was exquisite, and she was dressed like a sophisticated urban woman.

She wore a white shirt with a gray pencil skirt, crossed her legs, and her toes, encased in black stockings, hooked onto a red-soled high heel, swaying back and forth.

"Are there any interviewees this morning?" Gan Wei asked her assistant.

She's been extremely busy with auditions for online dramas lately.

She looked much more haggard.

She originally thought that using LeEco's name to film web series and recruit actors would be an easy task.

The Tangren Media Group is a good example of this.

Who would have thought that a month has passed and the male and female leads still haven't been decided, or even any alternatives?

Those willing to take on the roles are mostly unattractive or third-rate actors.

That's a joke!

Doesn't Gan Wei have any pride?

Does Boss Jia have no pride?

The assistant looked troubled, fearing he might be implicated, and timidly said, "There should be one more."

"Could it be some random random model who popped up out of nowhere again?"

"No...no, I graduated from Beijing Film Academy properly, and I even participated in a web series produced by Tangren Media before."

Gan Wei's expression softened a bit; finally, she looked a little more normal.

Just then, her phone rang.

As soon as the call connected, Gan Wei's tone changed instantly, and she laughed, "Hello! Cai'er!"

The person who called was her best friend Ying Cai'er, who is also Chicken's wife.

Gan Wei had previously invited her to be the female lead in this web series.

Ying Cai'er said apologetically, "Weiwei, I'm really sorry, I guess I can't help you this time."

I told my husband about it, and he didn't seem too keen on me going to act in it.

After all, you know we just had a baby, and I want to spend more time with my family right now.

Anyone can tell that this is just a superficial explanation.

But Gan Wei was not giving up and wanted to try again.

After all, the first person she thought of when she got the role was her best friend.

"...Cai'er, don't you really want to think about it again? I feel like this role was tailor-made for you."

"Forget it, Weiwei, you know I'm a mother now, so it's not really suitable for me to play those quirky characters anymore. Let's leave that opportunity to the younger generation..."

Ying Cai'er practically said, "I didn't like it."

Ying Cai'er is quite a smart person.

She was one of the few people who had a good relationship with Gan Wei but were not deceived into investing by her and Boss Jia.

In fact, after the drama "Go Princess Go" aired, Ying Cai'er publicly supported it.

That was mainly because she was involved in another LeTV drama at the time, called "The Genius on the Left, the Madman on the Right".

To put it bluntly, it's all just a bunch of bullshit sisterhood, nothing more than a bond of mutual benefit...

After hanging up the phone, Gan Wei's expression turned cold.

She's not a child anymore; she wouldn't turn on someone over something so trivial.

Ying Cai'er is unreliable, and the Teddy Sisters are even less so; they're all as cunning as monkeys.

"Damn it, fine if you don't want to help, I don't believe I can't find actors."

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

The assistant poked his head in and reported to the director, "Manager, the person who interviewed the male lead has arrived."

Gan Wei nodded. "Let him in."

Soon, the office door was opened again.

A tall, good-looking boy wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and light-colored jeans walked in.

After Han Luo stopped, he bowed slightly and said, "Hello, teacher, my name is Han Luo..."

Gan Wei's eyes suddenly lit up, and she immediately sat up straight, her legs unconsciously clamping together.

How could such a mediocre guy come to my job interview?

She could hardly believe her eyes.

Gan Wei swallowed hard, trying to calm herself down: "Why don't you introduce yourself first?"

"Okay, my name is Han Luo. I graduated from the Directing Department of Beijing Film Academy. I have previously acted in two productions by Tangren Media..."

Han Luo's self-introduction was very brief.

Gan Wei asked curiously, "Have you acted in any Tangren productions?"

"Yes, one is the third male lead in 'Wu Xin: The Monster Killer,' and the other is the male lead in 'Legend of Nine Tails Fox,' both being episodic dramas."

This acting experience would be considered unremarkable in the entertainment industry.

But compared to the guys who auditioned for this show, they were absolutely crushing!

Gan Wei was just complaining that her drama didn't have the same appeal to its actors as Tangren's.

Unexpectedly, the third male lead from Tangren Media showed up the next moment.

This is simply divine intervention!

We must remain calm and not show any signs of fear.

Gan Wei crossed her arms over her chest, supporting her heavy conscience, and said earnestly:

"Although our drama is a time-travel drama, the subject matter is quite novel, making it unique in the market..."

Therefore, we have high standards for the actors. Do you feel confident?

Han Luo remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was secretly laughing.

No wonder she's Old Jia's wife; she's truly inherited his skills.

To be able to use deceptive rhetoric in such a fresh and sophisticated way is quite an achievement and worth learning from.

However, she is right. Dramas with "men dressing up as women" are indeed rare. How can this not be unique?

Han Luo began to express his determination with a serious expression.

"...I've acted in period dramas before, so I have some experience...I believe I can definitely do it!"

Seeing this, Gan Wei nodded in satisfaction.

It seems like they've probably been fooled.

College students are so easy to fool!

"Okay, shall we try out a scene first?"

Although Gan Wei had basically decided on Han Luo, the necessary procedures still had to be followed.

If they don't do auditions, wouldn't that make their production team seem very unprofessional?

Soon, the assistant handed Han Luo the audition script.

After a few minutes of simple preparation, Han Luo rehearsed on the spot, and Gan Wei was very satisfied with the result.

He's handsome and has decent acting skills; he's the one for the male lead!

Gan Wei tried her best to suppress the upward curve of her lips and calmly said, "The acting is not bad, it meets our requirements."

"Thank you, teacher," Han Luo said humbly.

Gan Wei abruptly changed the subject, her face becoming serious:

"You probably already knew before you came that our drama is an exclusive collaboration with LeTV, which is a very rare opportunity..."

However, I must say something unpleasant upfront: our budget for this production is limited, and most of it is used for filming.

Therefore, the actors' salaries are not high; you need to consider this carefully.

"So, what exactly is the salary?"

Han Luo knew it wouldn't be too high, but not asking would seem too fake.

"Just two hundred thousand!"

Gan Wei had actually planned to ask for 150,000, but she found Han Luo quite agreeable, so she added another 50,000, just in case he ran away!

For a web series with over thirty episodes, a salary of 200,000 yuan is really stingy.

Compared to this, Lao Cai is definitely more generous!

Han Luo remained silent, caught in a dilemma, and didn't utter a word for a long time. Seeing this, Gan Wei quickly tried to appeal to his emotions:

"Han Luo, I know that the pay for this film might indeed be a bit low."

To be honest, I'm also an actor by profession, so as a senior, I'd like to share some heartfelt words with you.

As actors, we can't just focus on our paychecks; that's too short-sighted.

LeTV is now one of the top video websites in China.

Just like products, people also need platforms.

If the drama you starred in were broadcast on LeTV, a lot of people would be able to see it, which would greatly boost your popularity, blah blah blah...

Gan Wei's performance was vivid and moving, appealing to both emotion and reason.

However, Han Luo still did not express his opinion.

He knows the situation of this drama very well, and his salary should probably be able to be increased a bit.

Sure enough, Gan Wei got a little anxious and made a snap decision.

"Two hundred and fifty thousand, I've made the decision. I'll raise it by another fifty thousand; this is our limit!"

Upon hearing this, Han Luo suddenly looked up, his eyes bright. "Sister Gan, how about twenty-six? Twenty-five sounds awful!"

Gan Wei gritted her teeth, "Fine, twenty-six it is, but you have to sign the contract today!"

"No problem, may I take a look at the script first?"
