Chapter 278 - Selena Tang (16)

The assistant had been quite persistent so Tang Yue, no, Selena Tang, ended up lashing out on her with her sharp tongue.

A second later, she regretted not doing it a minute earlier, wasting time in arguing with the short-haired lady…

Days passed and as she expected, the man did not hesitate once to accept the offer. As expected, he was no different from the others, somebody hungry for opportunities to get famous and rich.

'Let's see how long he'll last and how everyone will view him. No matter what happens, he has no one else to blame other than himself.'

The woman disdained him for accepting, yet at the same time, she was happy that he did. When her people confirmed to her that the arrangement for the guy had been done, there was an unknown glimmer flickering in her beautiful eyes.

The entertainment industry where people with the best masks gathered. On the surface, it looked like everyone else was getting along with each other, doing charities, smiling sincerely to the cameras with others. It seemed like a sky where stars could shine. Full of splendor and glory.

But it should not be forgotten that it was also where people wouldn't hesitate to insert a knife behind others. While some people put in efforts and hard work, there were some people with no bottom line on what they should and should not do to attain popularity. Behind the spotlight, it was a place full of scandals and dirt. Betrayal was not a common thing. So was the hidden rule and other nasty stuff.

However, while it was a place where wits and schemes for resources were needed, the ultimate requirement was still the ability to act.

But as a thirty-plus-year-old guy with no whatsoever background in acting, how was the man named Jiang Li supposed to play a fairly important supporting role in a big-budget movie?

For sure, the majority would adopt a wary attitude since he was recommended by someone big. But once his true 'capabilities' were exposed and the other cast members discovered that the bigshot had no more plans to shield him, which of them would not show him how annoyed there at him for being cast there?  

With a malicious grin on her face, only one thought Selena crossed her mind. She wanted to see that scene so badly! More than her prided script being brought to life!

'In a month, let's see who will get the last laugh, ugly rogue!'

…

The girl did not know, but the singer she wanted to dig a pit for was aware of her intention. After all, he had not been involved in the industry for a few months.

Since more than ten years ago, the Original had already been mingling in the entertainment circle and he had his experiences in mind. Since he was not really new to the showbiz world, the girl's scheme was naturally, as clear as day to his eyes.

However, he didn't think twice to accept the offer. He even showed contentment and happiness to the female voice that informed him of Selena Tang's decision.

He had no acting experience?

And the role given to him was that of the third male lead, an important role with many screen times which no rookie in acting should have?

So what!

His character was a general from ancient times. The drama to be filmed was a historical story. How hard would it be for a former general to act it out? Once he donned his armor, he might even make everyone in the crew trembling in awe. Who knows, maybe the director would like him more due to his good portrayal of himself and even add scenes for him. Or maybe she would be torn in between making him an embarrassment or a proper character of her work.

Jiang Li was smiling from anticipation.

He knew there was still a risk that he would fail in the filming process. However, he was not burdened by the thought.

In any case, the sole reason he said yes to the assistant's call was that he wanted to stay close to the girl.

He was certain she would somehow face a disaster or fatal accident in the future. He had to be nearby and being in the same industry and social circle was the best solution. Working on the same project would be best. Like now.

He would be an actor, something he never tried before, except when he created MVs for his band's songs from the second world.

She was the scriptwriter. No matter how lofty her social status was, her working ethics and duties would not allow her not to be in the set once the shooting started. Her presence would be required there since there would surely be times when the director would request some changes to cater to some people and circ.u.mstances.

There would be many opportunities to meet. From the sidelines, she would be watching him.

The man shook his head, the corner of his lips tugged upwards.

'Sorry, Miss Tang. Even if you are angry and want to embarrass me in front of the whole nation, I won't be acting this time, but being myself. I'm afraid I would have to anger you with my success, but I hope that will leave more impressions of me on you.'

'…Well, even if I fail, it won't matter. At most it will only be a signal that I should choose another stalking method,' thought the man laughingly.

He was at a gathering and there were several others surrounding him. One of them, the first acquaintance he made in this world snickered seeing the look on his face. The other, the famous contemporary painter Gao Jing who was fond of post-expressionism and romanticism, sighed. As soft music rang in the whole place, the voice of the man also resounded.

"Mr. Jiang. I think I'm in trouble. Even though I repeatedly showed Miss Li that I like her, she still keeps dismissing me. Why? I even waited for her in the rain outside her house just to hear her agree to the date, but she didn't answer..."
