Chapter 201: Chapter 201: The Bigger the Storm, the Pricier the Fish

*

After the "Linghua" crew officially wrapped up filming, Ming Lang had already been urging everyone to work overtime on editing.

They had to make sure it premiered during the winter holiday.

"You’re not even looking at the script. If you don’t seize this popularity to shoot a few more productions, you won’t have anything to watch next year."

The emperor was not in a hurry, but the eunuch was.

These past few days, Luo Ting had given Jiang Mian many scripts, but Jiang Mian had not shown any interest.

Aside from business shoots, Jiang Mian truly did not have any scripts lined up for upcoming projects.

Jiang Mian’s gaze fell on a script in the corner of the coffee table, and with a graceful flick of her slender finger, her red lips slightly lifted, "I want that one."

Luo Ting’s eyes followed Jiang Mian’s finger to rest on the cover of the script.

!!!

"Floating Life"

Luo Ting’s eyes widened considerably in disbelief as she stared at the woman before her, "Are you sure about this one?"

The reason this script was in the corner was that it had extremely high demands in all aspects, and the lead roles had not been cast after a long selection process.

There would be no issue with Jiang Mian taking on any of the other scripts.

It’s just that this one required much more consideration than "Linghua."

It was the final work before retirement of Producer He Guang’s brother, He Lei, whose movies under his direction always won awards, and whose film crews were always prosperous. But the requirements were also very high.

Many movie queens and emperors had faced rejection when auditioning.

Jiang Mian took a sip of the tea before her, "I want to try it."

She could accept any other script easily because there wasn’t any challenge.

But this one—

It was said that the bigger the risk, the greater the reward.

By taking on this film, it would skyrocket her to fame, and she wouldn’t have to worry about other scripts in the future.

Luo Ting understood Jiang Mian’s idea and agreed, "Then I’ll go negotiate for you and contact the staff on that side."

A few minutes later.

Luo Ting hung up the phone, "It’s all set. They’ll notify you about the audition. Besides acting, you need to start losing weight for this role."

The female lead in the script is initially portrayed as a frail beauty, inevitably invoking sympathy in the viewer.

Jiang Mian’s long eyelashes lifted, her tone extremely light, "Hmm."

This ancestor—

Was about to exert her powers.

Luo Ting knew that Jiang Mian had always been very opinionated and had never failed to get what she wanted.

This time, she hoped it would also go smoothly.

The news of Jiang Mian preparing for "Floating Life" somehow got leaked.

The online discussions about it intensified.

[Jiang Mian just shot one slightly famous series, and now she’s getting ahead of herself.]

[It seems rather over-ambitious. Director He’s dramas always feature very famous female leads.]

[Right, she’s at best a budding actress, how can she take on such a big IP production?]

[It feels like ever since she started her own studio, it’s been vacant. The studio’s not working out.]

...

"Xu Lai."

Xu Lai hurried in, "President Fu, what can I do for you?"

Fu Sichen’s tone was heavy, as he slammed the tablet onto the table with a thud, "What’s going on with these online messages? Is everyone in the studio overly complacent?"

Xu Lai’s heart skipped a beat.

"President Fu, here’s the situation: It has been just half a month since madam wrapped up filming, during which she’s been attending various business and brand events."

"Now someone has revealed that madam wants to star in the renowned Director He Lei’s final work, so online there are people saying madam is biting off more than she can chew, overestimating her abilities..."

Xu Lai’s voice grew softer as he lowered his head, fearing the look from his boss.

Fu Sichen’s voice was low and magnetic, "What movie?"

"’Floating Life,’ it’s currently in pre-production. They contacted us a while back to see if we wanted to invest."

"Bring the details here for me to look at."

Xu Lai’s spirits lifted, "Okay."

That day, when Xu Lai had asked President Fu about it, President Fu had said to set it aside and there hadn’t been any further discussion.

Now, for his wife, he would surely invest.
