Quick Transmigration: The Supporting Character Just Wants to Die a Natural Death

After Yao Feiran proposed the collaboration, Zhang Tian'an was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night. He had directed several films before, but none of them made a splash. Although he officially established himself as a director with "Sword Mountain Cold", he still hoped to make a breakthrough in film.

That evening, Zhang Tian'an flew over, and the two discussed the division of labor. In order to save costs, Yao Feiran took on the role of scriptwriter.

"Sis, what else can you do?"

"I'm good at judging people, and my aesthetic sense is decent, but my photography skills are probably not so great."

"That's no problem. I know someone who's good at photography; it's cheap and easy to use."

"...I hope to choose recent graduates."

Zhang Tian'an was a little puzzled: "Why? I don't think you need to lower the price by such a small amount and waste such a good script. The newcomer's acting skills are unstable. If you don't have enough money, I can ask my parents for it."

"No need, I'll oversee the final casting."

"OK."

The two chatted until evening, finalizing some details and determining some work timelines before parting ways. Zhang Tian'an noticed that Yao Feiran didn't have a car, so he gave her a ride.

Yao Feiran is currently staying in a hotel. She returned to her room and was just about to go to sleep when the phone rang. Seeing that it was an unknown number, Yao Feiran was too lazy to answer. However, the phone kept calling after that. Yao Feiran thought about it and realized that she couldn't just turn off her phone. She needed to stay in touch with Zhang Tianan during this period.

When I answered the phone, it was a woman's voice: "Feiran, long time no see."

"Oh, it's you. I thought it was some persistent salesman calling me. What's up?"

Yao Feiran secretly thought that she might as well change her number and be done with it.

Gao He was silent for a moment: "I heard you got divorced and didn't even take the house."

"It's alright. Without Chen Boheng as a burden, life after the divorce is even better."

"I know you're saying this out of spite. Baiheng is just a bit awkward. He's actually been wanting to see you. It's his birthday in a few days. Will you come and visit? He'll be so surprised."

"No need, after all, he's your eldest son, I won't join in the fun, I have a daughter."

"I know you still harbor resentment. However deep your hatred may be, so too may your love be. You care about this son."

"Your thinking is a bit outdated. I was disgusted by him. By the way, when are you going to give me the money? You abandoned me and left back then, and now you're back, all rich. Can't you even afford to raise your son?"

"I can give you a million dollars, just in the hope that you will delete the things online and issue a statement saying that this is all a misunderstanding."

"Then I don't want it. You're trying to renege on the money for raising your son. I've calculated that in a few years you'll be begging on the streets, just like when I first met you, a homeless dog."

After saying this, Gao He remained silent for a long time before finally hanging up the phone.

Yao Feiran was finally able to get some sleep.

During this time, she was busy starting her company and rented a studio. Zhang Tian'an came over with several handsome men and beautiful women.

"I've taken a quick look at these people, and their acting skills are pretty good." Zhang Tian'an said with a hint of teasing, "You said you're good at judging people, so let you be the one to make the final decision."

These people looked at Yao Feiran with obvious disdain. They applied for the role because of Zhang Tian'an's reputation. Although Yao Feiran played Granny Shuangzhu well, it didn't mean she could switch careers and become a director.

Yao Feiran asked each of them to perform a short scene. It seems that Zhang Tian'an has finalized the main cast with these six people. Among them, the most handsome man, Chen Qifeng, has been initially chosen by Zhang Tian'an as the male lead.

Many people chose to act out a scene from their own character's story, but Chen Qifeng seemed rather casual and didn't pay much attention, even making some mistakes in his lines.

Zhang Tian'an frowned. This person's attitude seemed off, but he was indeed good-looking.

"Director Zhang, let's replace Chen Qifeng."

Why?

"He's into this show."

Zhang Tian'an's eyes widened: "Are you kidding me? You actually went to have your fortune told?"

"I didn't consult fortune tellers. As I've discussed with you before, I have the final say on the selection."

Yao Feiran did not perform fortune-telling. She had previously promised not to waste the Fate-Defying Pearl on ordinary people. She simply sensed the cause-and-effect relationship between the other party and the drama crew. The cause of his joining the drama crew would lead to the drama's failure.

"Alright, let him go back then."

Zhang Tian'an said directly to Chen Qifeng, "Young man, you don't need to come. You're not really suitable for this role."

His eyes widened in surprise, which eventually turned into anger and embarrassment: "Is it because of what she said? Director Zhang, don't you have the authority to cast the actors for this drama? She doesn't even seem to be an investor."

The uproar over the adopted son incident had already thoroughly exposed Yao Feiran's background. Yao Feiran was just an ordinary woman with little money, who had lived in the town for most of her life.

"You can leave. If it's not a good fit, it's not a good fit."

"You'll regret this!"

Chen Qifeng left after saying those words. Zhang Tian'an had felt sorry for the young man before, but now, seeing his impulsive and easily angered nature, he realized that this kind of person was not suitable for the entertainment industry. Even if he did get in, he would probably expose a lot of scandals.

Yao Feiran pointed at Du Jingfu: "Let him be the lead actor."

"Isn't he a bit too ordinary-looking, even though his acting is pretty good?"

"Director Zhang, I'm not making an idol drama. The male lead doesn't need to be good-looking. He's just an ordinary person with an ordinary life. He's not perfect and he has flaws."

Although he's considered ordinary, he's still a handsome young man in the eyes of most people, though he's just average among many actors.

Zhang Tian'an was slightly taken aback, and after a while said, "You're right, no wonder I always fail."

After reaching an agreement, the two prepared for several months and were just about to start filming.

Chen Qifeng then started a live broadcast to complain that the production team had dragged him along, and that the role he had been cast in was canceled because Yao Feiran didn't like him.

The internet was in an uproar.

What?! Grandma Shuangzhu went to be a director, and she's working with Director Zhang!

[This person was an unknown before, but then Director Zhang took a liking to him, and now the two of them are actually working together on a movie?!]

Are these two having an affair?

[Impossible! Yao Feiran is old enough to be Director Zhang's mother.]

[Perhaps Zhang Tian'an has a taste for this.]

【Wow, that's too much!】

Yao Feiran was shocked to see the increasingly outrageous rumors circulating online, which even paired Zhang Tian'an with her.

Zhang Tian'an was also furious and posted a probing question online.

[When did I say it was completely settled? Didn't I say I still needed to get through Sister Yao? I even gave you the travel expenses, you're so ungrateful!]

[And your acting is the worst of the six! I watched your role-playing, not admire your selfies.]

[Such an arrogant attitude, yet completely lacking in ability!]
