Chapter 618: Chapter 620: Either Play the Villain or Get Lost

Seeing the high and mighty CEO of Tianyun Entertainment, Zhou Minghong, bowing to Qin Tian, everyone was stunned!

This young man, dressed so plainly, looking nothing like a CEO, was actually the big boss of Tianyun Entertainment?

Everyone was looking at Qin Tian, their jaws dropping. Was this an act?

But surely, acting couldn’t involve Zhou Minghong, the CEO himself.

Right now, Zhou Minghong was genuinely bowing and apologizing to this young man.

Awesome, bro!

This guy was playing dumb and eating tigers, secretly visiting the set to conduct undercover inspections?

Then, everyone’s gaze turned towards Xie Zirong, who stood by somewhat dazed.

At that moment, the previously arrogant Xie Zirong’s face grew as ugly and awkward as it could be.

She was just a bully who preyed on the weak but feared the strong, relying on her connections with Li Dakuan to push around newcomers and staff when convenient.

If she met a strong figure or a big star, she would lick their boots.

Qin Tian, in fact, was the real big boss behind the scenes at Tianyun Entertainment, something Xie Zirong could never have predicted in her wildest dreams.

Qin Tian dressed so ordinarily and even arrived with the newcomer Liu Fei’er, sitting among the extras, looking every bit the laborer—yet he was the entertainment company’s president?

Well, he really played everyone this time.

After seeing Zhou Minghong bow to Qin Tian, Xie Zirong was so frightened that her butt clenched and she trembled, quickly moving closer to Li Dakuan, who now was her only lifeline.

"It’s okay, Zhou, don’t be so formal with me."

Qin Tian told Zhou Minghong not to be so ceremonious, smiled, and turned his head towards Li Ming, "Director Li, I think we should let everyone take a break now, hmm, is that okay?"

"Yes, yes, of course, President Qin."

Li Ming quickly nodded, thinking, now that you are the big boss, whatever you say goes, right?

Then he said to the crew, "Everyone, rest here for a while, until further instructions."

"President Qin, hello, I am Li Dakuan, Vice President of Xingsheng Investment."

At this moment, Li Dakuan, who had never met Qin Tian before, stepped forward and shook hands with Qin Tian, while Xie Zirong followed nervously, her gaze shifting away from Qin Tian.

Qin Tian didn’t even look at her. At this moment, all of Qin Tian’s charisma was on display, his authoritative presence stunning the onlookers.

They hadn’t noticed his aura being so strong before, but now that they knew he was the president, why did it suddenly seem so formidable?

Was this the legendary overt charisma?

"President Li, hmm, about my decision, Zhou told you on the way here, right?"

Qin Tian didn’t beat around the bush, speaking directly to Li Dakuan.

Li Dakuan looked troubled, nodded, and said, "Zhou told me, but... President Qin, could we perhaps overlook this just this once? After all, it’s a minor issue. These kinds of things happen frequently on set. I will have a good talk with Xie Zirong, and she will certainly change her behavior."

Speaking of which, Li Dakuan gave Xie Zirong a meaningful look.

Xie Zirong quickly squeezed out what she thought was a very charming face, and apologized enthusiastically to Qin Tian, "Mr. Qin, I’m sorry, there was some trouble at home and I’ve been in a bad mood these last few days. I’m sorry, it won’t happen again, I promise it won’t."

Li Dakuan also pleaded variously for Xie Zirong.

Perhaps because Xie Zirong’s bedroom skills were excellent, serving Li Dakuan very comfortably, Li Dakuan actually pleaded very energetically.

Qin Tian responded directly, "Mr. Li, we have a partnership, and I don’t want to spoil our cooperation. Now, there are two options. Let Xie Zirong decide for herself."

"First, she leaves the crew."

"Second, she gives up the role of the leading lady and takes on some other supporting role;it’s no longer possible for her to be the lead."

Qin Tian laid out his conditions. Upon hearing this, Li Dakuan’s face twitched, and Xie Zirong was left tongue-tied.

Qin Tian didn’t care about these reactions, thinking to himself, Xie Zirong, didn’t you say you had endless film offers? Let’s see if you can afford to not play this one!

"This..., Mr. Qin, the filming is about to start, changing the leading lady now isn’t ideal, right? Everyone had their screen tests a while ago, and the director also feels Xie Zirong is suitable for the leading lady." Li Dakuan still tried to intercede.

Qin Tian directly called the director, Li Ming over, and asked, "Director Li, after the screen test, do you think Xie Zirong is suitable to play the leading lady?"

Li Ming looked at Li Dakuan, then at Zhou Minghong, hesitated for a moment, shook his head and sighed, "Mr. Qin, since you are here, I’ll speak frankly. Although I am the director, I am also an employee of your company. I can’t decide on many of the castings, they aren’t what I want. I think... she... is not suitable for the role of the leading lady, the heroine, but she is suitable for the role of the first major female antagonist, the Witch. Really."

Li Ming adjusted his glasses and gathered his courage to speak.

He was, after all, a person with dreams, and today he finally met the big boss Qin Tian, so he spoke his mind.

"Did you hear that, Mr. Li?" Qin Tian asserted, "Then let’s do that, Xie Zirong will play the female antagonist, that ’Witch’. Otherwise, she doesn’t act at all and leaves the crew. Let her choose; there is no third option."

Qin Tian had changed his mind.

Li Dakuan, from Xingsheng Investment Company, actually ran a small company. Initially, the collaboration with Tianyun Entertainment was secured only after inviting Zhou Minghong several times, and he had not anticipated the situation blowing up like this, making him quite embarrassed.

Seeing Li Dakuan hesitate, Zhou Minghong pulled him aside and said, "Mr. Li, we are businessmen, aiming to make money. For a second-tier actress, it’s not worth going against your interests and money, right? If you offend our big boss, then our future cooperation might be..."

"Fine, Mr. Zhou, I get your point."

Li Dakuan nodded, his eyes angrily fixed on Xie Zirong, "Since Mr. Qin has put it this way, you choose. It was you who caused this mess."

"Mr. Li..."

"It’s no use calling me. If you don’t choose, then that’s it for you in this drama."

"Don’t, I’ll act—I’ll act as the villainous Witch, isn’t that okay..."

Xie Zirong glanced at Qin Tian. Although she hated Qin Tian, she still managed to offer a flirtatious smile and said, "Thank you, Mr. Qin, for giving me this opportunity. I will work hard, I’ll do my best, thank you."

"So, Mr. Qin, about the leading lady of this drama..."

Zhou Minghong stepped forward and spoke, his eyes drifting towards Liu Fei’er when he mentioned "the leading lady."

"How about, we let Miss Liu give it a try?" Zhou Minghong whispered to Qin Tian.

He had high emotional intelligence and could see that Qin Tian, the boss, had come to the set with Liu Fei’er; their relationship, if not that of a girlfriend, must at least be that Qin Tian was keeping Liu Fei’er.
