She Only Cares About Cultivation-Chapter 1020 - 870: Super Star 44 (First Update)

After hanging up the phone, Hua Yan rubbed her temples, unable to return to her senses for a long time. Once she calmed down, she overturned her previous suggestion to Ling Yao, deciding to let him explore on his own and choose the appropriate school and major. After all, it’s his life and she shouldn’t misguide him.

So, whatever Ling Yao decides to choose in the end, that’s his choice and has nothing to do with her. However, when she mentioned the filming of "Heiress Strategy," he outright refused.

"Since I have chosen to go to college, I will focus my energy on studying, and I won’t take on any other work. I’ve entrusted all my earnings to Uncle Liang to handle, and that’s the only thing I can do. As for the rest, I can only extend my apologies."

Ling Yao’s determination, to be honest, surprised her quite a bit. When he decided to quit, he really quit, cleanly, without any hesitation.

It’s quite rare to have such a disposition, considering many people find it hard to let go of the vanity and glamor brought by the entertainment circle. Ling Yao having the heart to sever ties so ruthlessly shows that he really sees through the falsehoods and realities of the entertainment circle and doesn’t want to get involved anymore.

Hua Yan admired his decisiveness, yet she also felt a bit regretful, because Ling Yao’s face really suited that circle.

But everyone has their own path to walk. Although the cause of this incident lies with her, Ling Yao also made his own decision. She will make up for what Ling Yao did for her in the future, but not now, as she doesn’t have the ability to repay him at this moment.

Since Ling Yao isn’t joining the crew, Liang An will inevitably have more trouble selecting actors, given that it’s the leading male role and there are many war scenes in it. If one truly has no capability, they certainly won’t be able to complete it; as for herself, Hua Yan is still a bit hesitant about playing the leading female role.

Considering that it’s already mid-July, she’d be going to school in just over a month, yet the crew is still nowhere near ready, hence the lead female role might be cast to someone else, and at best, she might just make a cameo or act as the original author.

Hua Yan always felt she was too eager for quick success, so she needed to try to calm herself down, striving to go to school properly at the age when she should. Other matters shouldn’t be thought about, nor should they be pondered. Worrying too much ages you fast!

Having graduated middle school, Ning Hao was entering junior high, and since Ning Hao would be living at school, she didn’t need to worry constantly about home anymore. As for her, she would still be a day student; however, she wouldn’t always need to go back home, she could just find a place to enter the space and rest for a night. Everything in the space was equipped, basically like her personal dorm, saving on rent. If she needed anything, she could just return home.

If it weren’t for the trouble of her transforming at any time, she might have stayed in the dormitory, but unfortunately, reality didn’t give her this chance!

Once the situation at the school was settled, there was still no definite news from Liang An’s side, so Hua Yan continued to retreat into the space to level up.

In no time, it was early August. After breaking through the fifty-three mark, as soon as she exited seclusion, she received a call from Liang An.

"I have good news for you, I’ve secured a fifty million investment, so you don’t have to sell your house for the time being. However, your leading female role might be given to someone with investment backing from the financiers. How do you feel about that?"

Hua Yan didn’t expect that after waiting so long, what she awaited was this kind of news. It’s not that she looked down on people with investment backing joining the crew, but she felt that Liang An’s action seemed like putting the cart before the horse. She brought out her own copyright, not to say she could only sell it to Liang An. She had confidence in her script that, as long as the production team was solid, it could be turned into a good film.

But now, nothing has even taken shape, and at this bare minimum stage, someone with investment backing is coming in to snatch resources?

The originally decided leading female role could be swapped just because an investor was brought in? Is Liang An not taking her seriously enough?

Sure, to produce a good drama, investment indeed needs to be increased; the larger the investment, the stronger the production team, the better the results. Can a large-scale scene depicting an investment of billions really be compared to a production costing just tens of millions?

Yet, she disliked this kind of back-door relationship, where people with no acting skills like a Vase came in to play the leading female role?

Hua Yan remained silent for a long time, believing she had nothing to say, nor could she. What else could she say? The copyright had already been sold. Could she control the entire direction of the drama with just her investment of ten million? Unless she was the producer of the entire film, knowing Liang An wouldn’t grant her that qualification.
