Chapter 57 - 57 First Female Lead
57 First Female Lead
Seeing that He Meng really didn’t know that she was drunk, Yu Han was afraid that she would find out that she had secretly drunk, so she said vaguely, “I thought I was fine, but it still affected me a little.”
However, He Meng suddenly became serious. “This is not a small matter. If you feel uncomfortable, you have to tell me, understand?”
There were celebrities in the entertainment industry who had mental illnesses. He Meng was a responsible manager. She didn’t want anything to happen to her artists. She only hoped that they were healthy and happy. Only then could she wave the whip in her hand at ease and push them to work to earn money.
Yu Han could sense He Meng’s intentions. Her heart warmed as she hugged her. “Sister Meng, I understand. If there’s any problem, I’ll definitely tell you.”
It was a beautiful thing to have a great beauty throwing herself at them early in the morning, but He Meng pushed her away very coldly. “Alright, stop dilly-dallying. There’s not much time left. Hurry up and eat breakfast. I’ll send you to the audition later.”
Her words were rather unromantic, but Yu Han realized that the tips of her ears were slightly red. She found it funny, but she did not expose her.
After hurriedly finishing their breakfast, Yu Han and He Meng drove to the audition venue. Just as they parked the car and got out of the car, they heard someone talking beside them.
“Why are you taking on such an unimportant script for me?” The girl sounded very dissatisfied. “It’s just a lousy web drama. It doesn’t cost much. I don’t even know if it can be broadcasted after filming. Isn’t this purely a waste of my time?”
The middle-aged man beside her should be her manager. He coaxed her, “Although it’s a low-budget web drama, you will be the female lead. Moreover, I’ve read it. The script is very good. If it’s filmed well, it might be able to become popular.”
“Do you expect such a small web drama with a budget of less than 10 million yuan to become popular?” The girl was very disdainful. “Didn’t you see Sister Lina from our company? She signed that big new year drama on the WeChat platform a few days ago. They hired the most famous director and team in the industry. That kind of drama is the kind that will get popular.”
The middle-aged man was a little embarrassed. “Lina is the top actress in the company, and her popularity is so high. Her script is naturally different from ours.”
The girl was unconvinced. “Then with my current popularity, no matter how bad I am, I shouldn’t take on such a lousy web drama!”
“It’s mainly because this script is really good, so I specially chose it for you. Moreover, you’re only here for the process today. The role has already been internally decided to be yours.”
The manager took out the script from his briefcase and handed it to her. “You can take a look first. If this script is filmed well, it really has a chance of becoming popular.”
“So what if the script is good? What can a third-rate director produce?” The girl took it and took a quick look before saying in disdain, “What ‘Midsummer’s Time’? I don’t even want to watch a show with such a literary name.”
She flipped through a few pages in frustration. Seeing that her manager had walked away to answer the call, she casually threw the script into the greenery at the side. She even muttered, “I can just act in such a lousy drama casually. Why do I have to spend so much effort to read the script?” Then, she walked into the audition building, wearing a pair of stilettos that were more than 10 centimeters high.
She was the female lead? Yu Han remembered that the female lead in this movie should be called Wei Wei.
He Meng saw Yu Han looking at the woman’s back thoughtfully and asked curiously, “Why? Do you know her?”
Yu Han shook her head and walked over to pick up the script that had been thrown onto the greenery. She carefully patted away the dirt on it. “No, I just think she’s too arrogant.”
He Meng felt a little ashamed of such an unprofessional artist. “She’s just an idiot. There are many people like her in the industry. Most of them won’t be able to go far.”
Yu Han sighed. “Looks like this production team won’t be peaceful.” After all, from their conversation earlier, this drama had already decided on her as the first female lead, and the role Yu Han was going to audition for today was the second female lead. If everything went smoothly, they would have to stay in the same production team for a few months.
He Meng comforted her. “It’s fine. There have always been many strange people in the industry. If we don’t get along, we can just stay far away from them. There’s no need to argue with these stupid people.”
