Although Ling Xiaosu was a rookie in the industry, she had more or less heard of the unspoken rules of the industry.
Chen Anzhu's brokerage company was a third-rate brokerage company, and the company was well-known in the entertainment industry for its bold and unscrupulous rules.
However, in this era where entertainment was rife, the unwritten rules were nothing out of the ordinary. It was just a matter of how the unwritten rules worked.
When Ling Xiaosu had just stepped into this circle, someone reminded her that the rules in this circle were disgusting. Some of the higher-ups, who already had wives, would even go and shelter some of the company's star artists.
However, she had never encountered such a situation before, and now it seemed like she was also very lucky to have met a heaven defying official.
Ling Xiaosu had a deep impression of Chen An as well. His age was not the same as Chen An's, so he was rather gloomy.
Chen An was a newcomer, and logically speaking, Ling Xiaosu would be a little hesitant if he didn't have any acting skills. However, the male lead in Ling Xiaosu's script was around Chen An's age, so Ling Xiaosu thought about it carefully, since Qi Tianyang didn't want to be the male lead, he might as well replace Chen An.
"Give me manager Chen An's number, I'll call him." Ling Xiaosu said to Xiao An.
Little An nodded. After all, she was just an assistant. "But Sister Ling, the other staff who were previously assigned to take part in the shoot also left." Including cameramen, editors, costume props.
Ling Xiaosu pondered for a few seconds before replying, "We'll use as many people as we have left. We'll have to trouble them."
The assistant, Xiao An, thought that since Sister Ling was a new director, there shouldn't be many people who would admire him. This was the public opinion's damaging prowess. It was simply too great.
"Give Chen An a copy of the script. I'll call his agent." Ling Xiaosu didn't waste any more time. She just needed to get everything done as soon as possible.
The assistant, Little An, nodded. "Alright, Sister Ling."
Although he was a very new director and was filming online dramas, he could not suppress the fact that he had the qualifications to compete against the entire Jiuyu Media. Thus, when Ling Xiaosu called, Chen An's manager immediately thought of representing Chen An to have the opportunity to call. After all, a month had passed since Chen An's last interview.
"Yes, yes, thank you. Thank you so much!" Chen An's agent was pleasantly surprised. Ling Xiaosu called him and told him that she could always be her number one man in the online drama.
If you invest in Jiuyu Media, Chen An can be a male lead!
Chen An's agent hung up the phone and turned around to Chen An, who was sitting on the sofa. "Chen An, the online drama where you interviewed me just now, the director personally called and wanted you to be the male lead in the movie. What a surprise!"
Chen An looked at the agent with obvious joy on his face. His heart couldn't help but jump for joy. He was finally going to appear on the screen.
The manager was incredibly happy. Ever since Chen An had signed on to his name, he had rushed countless announcements with Chen An, but there was never a chance for him to show his face. This time, he could finally show his face for the online show.
As long as there were many opportunities for Chen An to show his face and get angry, he would also get better benefits by following Chen An.
Thinking of this, the manager was even happier than Chen An himself.
Ling Xiaosu could hear the jubilation in Chen An's voice. When he heard Chen An's manager agree, Ling Xiaosu felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from his heart.
He had been worried that Chen An's agent would not agree, but now it seemed that his thoughts were unnecessary.
Since the first male lead was already settled, then the next step would be to officially start filming.
Ling Xiaosu knew that a lot of people wouldn't be satisfied with the replay, but fortunately, when she told everyone the news, most people chose to tacitly agree. They didn't show any signs of disgust or unwillingness.
Ling Xiaosu was moved. They had chosen to understand him and were willing to stay. This had truly surprised and surprised Ling Xiaosu.
He had no choice but to start filming again. Fortunately, everyone's coordination speed was very high. It wouldn't be a problem for him to keep up with the previous progress. Ling Xiaosu was confident.
Although Chen An was a new male lead, he was able to quickly adapt to this role, which exceeded Ling Xiaosu's expectations.
Seeing how quickly Chen An adapted to the role, Ling Xiaosu decided not to recruit the first male lead, Qi Tianyang.
Ling Xiaosu handed this matter to his assistant, An An. Ling Xiaosu felt a little anxious as he hadn't caught up to the filming schedule yet.
What Ling Xiaosu didn't expect was that his assistant, Xiao An, would be done very quickly. He even came back and said to himself, "Qi Tianyang's manager has already agreed. He doesn't have any intentions of interrogating us, he's done."
Hearing the reply from the assistant, Ling Xiaosu did not think too much about it. His heart finally relaxed a little and he said to Xiao An with a smile, "Thank you."
The assistant was also very happy. He had long disliked Qi Tianyang's arrogance, but as he was the male lead, he was afraid of causing trouble for Ling Xiaosu, so he didn't have to face it.
The filming progressed very quickly. The second act of the script was about the man and woman meeting on the campus. They were having a dispute over a meal card.
The female lead, Li Xiaoyi, accidentally lost a meal card in school when the male lead, Zheng QiuChen picked it up. Zheng was unwilling to return the meal card to Feng Anan, so the two of them had a dispute over the meal card.
This scene depicted the unbridled arrogance of youth. However, no matter how Chen An played the part, Ling Xiaosu felt something was amiss.
Chen An was either too gloomy or too angry. When it was time to say his lines, Chen An would always remain silent, or he would be stuck in his throat and unable to speak.
Ling Xiaosu wanted what happened to happen naturally, because Ling Xiaosu had already called out to him five times already.
Looking at the two people in front of the camera, Ling Xiaosu shouted again.
"Chen An, come over here for a moment." Ling Xiaosu sat in front of the camera and called out to Chen An.
Chen An walked over and stood beside Ling Xiaosu with his back bent. Although he was only 16 years old, his height was close to 1.9 meters.
Ling Xiaosu pointed at the scene that had just been filmed and said, "Chen An, look at that scene. You're either silent or you're just not saying anything. Furthermore, your eyes are always averted and you're not even looking at Feng An."
Feng An was also the female lead played by Li Xiaoyi in the movie.
"Xiaoyi also has a big problem, but your problem is quite big." Ling Xiaosu said bluntly. She did not want to cover up their problems.
"Your eyes should be on Feng Anan, not evading."
