The elevator stopped on the 4th floor, and as soon as Rong Yan entered the conference room, she saw it was packed with people. Besides her, nearly all of KT’s female artists were present, even the top-billed Jiang Xinyue had shown up.
In addition to them, there was Kim Yien, who had just finished a popular idol drama, Li Chunyu, who had been nominated for the Golden Eagle Award together with Rong Weiwei but had lost the Most Popular Actress award to her, and a whole bunch of female stars around C-list. Of course, there were also quite a few newcomers like herself who had just signed with KT and were still lingering outside the top eighteen…
Oh, what was all this fuss about?
The big names showed no interest in the newcomers and sat in their little cliques. Soon, the crowd stirred as a middle-aged man dressed in gaudy clothes with little braids that looked trendy rushed in, surrounded by his assistants.
As soon as he entered, the female artists stopped talking, all wanting to approach him.
Jiang Xinyue, the company’s darling, went straight up to him intimately and greeted, “Levin, what’s the rush calling us here today?”
“Xinyue, you’re here too?” The director was indeed familiar with her, speaking with her smilingly, “There’s some news from above.”
Jiang Xinyue raised an eyebrow in surprise, “What news that requires gathering all of us?”
“Everyone’s here, so I’ll just say it once.” Levin coughed, scanning the roomful of people.
“You all know that HuanYu is going to produce ‘Return to Ning’, right? I just got the news—the female lead for ‘Return to Ning’ will be selected from our company. Get ready, the day after tomorrow the director will be doing screen tests at the Hearty Hotel, and every one of our company’s artists, regardless of seniority or status, will have the chance to attend!”
No sooner had he finished than the room erupted into an uproar—
“Isn’t ‘Return to Ning’ a HuanYu production? Why are they choosing the female lead from our company?”
“Wasn’t it all over the news that Mr. Shi bought the IP rights for a fortune to promote his girlfriend? If they’re changing the lead actress, doesn’t that mean Rong Weiwei has been relegated to a supporting role?”
“No way? After her team released so many statements about her starring in ‘Return to Ning,’ wouldn’t this sudden change be a slap in the face? Gosh, can Mr. Shi really stomach that?”
Levin clapped his hands, temporarily silencing the noisy conference room.
“Alright! Why they want to choose someone from our company isn’t your worry, all you need to remember is to prepare well. This time, everyone has a chance!”
He had received a notification from above that the two companies had reached a cooperation, and they were going to select someone from their side for ‘Return to Ning’.
He couldn’t make sense of why this sudden decision came about; sure, the IP for ‘Return to Ning’ was not bad and even worthy of cooperation to an extent. They had also purchased plenty of IPS and could have easily started a production of their own.
But since the instruction came from above, all he could do was pass on the message to everyone below.
“Apart from the female lead, other roles will also be openly recruited from within the industry, and there are also searches for someone to perform the theme song, so you all can prepare for that as well.”
As soon as he finished, the conference room buzzed with excitement again. KT’s female artists were not just actors; many of them were also singers, and performing the theme song for a popular IP was undoubtedly a great opportunity for exposure.
“The director said so himself, they’ll definitely select the female lead from our company! I wonder if it will be Jiang Xinyue, Kim Yien, Li Chunyu, Gu Yamei…
It certainly won’t get to us.”
“How do you know it won’t get to us? Everyone gets to audition, maybe the director will think we’re more suitable, hehe”Ennnn… keep dreaming.”
“Dreams are free anyway-”
When Rong Yan heard that ‘Return to Ning’ would select a person from KT, she was also taken aback, but she didn’t think much of it. After all, the entertainment industry is ever-changing; you never know who will collaborate all of a sudden.
Besides, buying the rights doesn’t mean having absolute say; it all depends on who invests more.
Perhaps this time, both HuanYu and KT saw potential in this IP and decided to join hands in cooperation!
But hearing that Rong Weiwei’s guaranteed role had flown away, she couldn’t help but secretly feel a thrill!
‘Return to Ning’, huh… Rong Yan lowered her eyelids, hiding the interest in her eyes, it seemed like something worth competing for!
However, what she wanted to compete for was not the role of an actress!fr(e)enovelkiss
