Chapter 1220: Chapter 654: The Task for the Last Month of the Year (Seeking Subscriptions)_2

Ding Yue feared that Zhang Yu would be unwilling to take the part, and if that were the case, Ding Yue certainly couldn’t force her.

Without her, the leading female role of Zhao Ling’er in "The Legend of Fairy Sword" would have no suitable actress, and the entire shooting of the series, even the whole project, might fall through.

After all, Ding Yue was not willing to settle for just anyone; it would be uncomfortable for him to cast an actress who did not embody the image and temperament of Zhao Ling’er’s character.

The impression of "The Legend of Fairy Sword" from Earth’s past life was too deep in Ding Yue’s mind—the Zhao Ling’er portrayed by Liu Yifei had been indelible.

Zhang Yu was the person who could best fill the gap felt by Ding Yue; without her, unless Principal Ding found another girl who was similar to Liu Yifei, which seemed highly unlikely.

"Um, I... I’ll think about it."

Zhang Yu did not refuse, nor did she accept.

"Okay, if you’re really not willing to play the leading female role, then we might as well not shoot the drama."

Ding Yue shrugged, appearing to be very calm as he spoke.

In actuality, Ding Yue was certainly using a "strategy" with these words.

"Ah? Principal Ding? It’s the leading female role?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu was once again stunned.

Originally, she had thought it was just a minor supporting character, but who could have imagined it was the lead female role?

And furthermore!

Principal Ding had just said that if she was unwilling to perform, it would be difficult to find someone suitable for the leading female role, and then the shooting might be shelved or even canceled.

At this moment, Zhang Yu was tempted.

"Yes, Zhang Yu, the role we’re inviting you for is indeed the lead female role," Ding Yue said with a smile. "How about it? Are you interested?"

"In that case, Principal Ding, will there be a salary for the performance? Hehehe."

Zhang Yu asked with excitement.

If it had been anyone else asking this question, Ding Yue would have certainly felt that person was being crude for bringing up money so directly.

But Zhang Yu was different.

Her cute and innocent way of asking about a salary precisely highlighted her charmed and straightforward nature.

"Of course, the lead actress’s salary isn’t low at all. For the whole play, you’ll definitely get one million," Ding Yue replied with a nonchalant smile. "And if the drama performs well after it’s released online, there’ll be bonus earnings too."

"Really? Well, then I should probably give it a try?"

After hearing this, Zhang Yu’s eyes filled with anticipation.

"So are you saying yes, Zhang Yu?" asked An Yujia, who was by her side, in a hurry.

"Mm-hmm, I can try it out, but if I really don’t have the talent, Principal Ding... well, then I can’t do anything about it."

Zhang Yu nodded, responding.

"Zhang Yu, I believe you have the talent. Here’s what we’ll do: the school will enroll you in a performing arts course, free of all tuition and miscellaneous fees. You’ll start by taking a few months of classes in the performing arts department."

Ding Yue confidently told her.

I believe you can do it, and even if you can’t, you will because I am the principal of Mist City Arts and Science University!

"Mm-hmm."

Zhang Yu nodded again, looking forward to performing well and striving not to disappoint Principal Ding.

"Good, Xiao Wen, take Zhang Yu immediately to the academic affairs office to handle the paperwork, and Zhang Yu’s main courses can be slightly postponed for now."

Ding Yue promptly instructed his secretary, Wen Ruohan.

"Yes, Principal Ding."

Wen Ruohan finished speaking and then quickly turned to Zhang Yu, "Let’s go, Zhang Yu. I will take you to handle the formalities."

"Mm."

Zhang Yu stood up, leaving the principal’s office with Wen Ruohan.

After Zhang Yu had left, An Yujia turned to Principal Ding and asked, "Principal Ding, but what if Zhang Yu, after receiving training in the acting program, still does not meet the requirements?"

An Yujia always had this worry.

After all, based on the looks of things, it was possible that whether or not Zhang Yu could succeed would determine the survival of "The Legend of Fairy Sword" project.

If Zhang Yu could smoothly complete her advanced studies in acting, that would be great, but if she couldn’t, then what?

They couldn’t possibly let someone with mediocre acting skills simply take on the role of Zhao Ling’er in "The Legend of Fairy Sword," could they?

Or should they replace her?

But if it were possible to replace her, then why would Principal Ding bother to go through all this effort?

"Miss An, we must have faith in Zhang Yu."

Ding Yue always carried a thread of confidence as he addressed An Yujia.

"Alright then."

An Yujia nodded slightly upon hearing this.

This was where Ding Yue and An Yujia previously differed: An Yujia, as the head of Feiyue Group, had more to consider.

But Ding Yue was different; he was a time traveler with a cheat system at his disposal. Just moments ago, Ding Yue had quietly exchanged for a [Golden Card for Acting Skills] in the system’s store!

This [Golden Card for Acting Skills] would enable Zhang Yu to learn acting much faster once she joined the acting class.

It was essentially a crash course card guaranteeing acting skills proficiency.

However, to actually become a leading actress overnight was certainly unrealistic. If Zhang Yu truly entered the film industry, whether she could ultimately become a leading star would depend on her own efforts. It wasn’t something that could be achieved solely through the prop cards Ding Yue exchanged in the system store.

"Miss An, I am confident about this matter. As we are quickly approaching December, the final month of the year, let’s discuss the new energy vehicle."

Ding Yue promptly brought up a new topic with Miss An.

Ding Yue was very confident about Zhang Yu’s situation, and he wouldn’t let "The Legend of Fairy Sword" project fail.

After all, "The Legend of Fairy Sword" was one of Ding Yue’s favorite domestic TV series.

"Right, within this month, Feiyue Technology will be launching the new energy vehicle. I think the actual vehicle should be out in a couple of days, and then we’ll perform a test on the vehicle?"

An Yujia nodded and spoke earnestly.

This was because Ding Yue had stated that Feiyue Group’s new energy vehicle must be launched before the end of the year.

And with December on the horizon, the last month of the year, that meant the most important task of the month would be the launch of the Feiyue · Future new energy vehicle.

"Okay, Miss An, you arrange the specifics, and just notify me directly when the time comes. Also, has the date for the press conference been set?"

Ding Yue inquired further.

There were two steps remaining before the press conference.

The first step was to create an actual vehicle, and the second step was to prepare for the launch event.

The first step was already underway with zeal; from the automotive engineering team’s designed models to the vigorous efforts being made to produce the actual vehicle.

In fact, before this, the battery and motor systems, as well as the vehicle’s intelligent operating system that Xu Bin was responsible for, had been fully prepared.

"Principal Ding, after we finish testing the actual vehicle, we’ll need some time to prepare for the press conference, so the conference should be held in the latter half of the month. Is that alright?"

An Yujia replied.

"No problem."

Ding Yue nodded and said, "As long as we can hold the press conference before New Year’s Day, it’ll be fine. The weather is getting colder, and we need to use our Feiyue Future New Energy Vehicle to ignite the market!"

"Exactly."

An Yujia thought Principal Ding’s metaphor was very apt.

In this increasingly cold winter weather, and with December’s arrival bringing even more chill, the new energy automobile market was still fired up by Penguin’s new energy vehicles.

To make this fire burn even brighter, it’ll be up to Feiyue Technology’s Feiyue Future New Energy Vehicle!

"Then for the specifics, Miss An, you go ahead and prepare. I hope we can host a very successful launch event."

Ding Yue said to Miss An with a smile.

"Sure, Principal Ding."

Just then, Ding Yue received a phone call: "Mm-hm, then you go ahead with your tasks, Miss An. It’s perfect timing, I’ve got a call to take."
