After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 718 - 389: Strive for Promotion_2

Chen Feng thought for a moment and then replied to Yang Wenqi: [Don’t worry, the company has detailed future plans for you. Unless there is an accident, you will play a supporting role in the new drama initiated by the company.]

Yang Wenqi is a rising star that Chen Feng values highly; he signed her because of her outstanding qualities, good looks, and strong physique.

For a first-class beauty like her, as long as her acting skills aren’t too disappointing and the company invests in her heavily, it’s hard not to become famous. And once she becomes popular, she can become a money-making machine for the company.

Chen Feng sent the message, and Yang Wenqi’s reply almost came instantly: [Really? That’s great. Boss, can you tell me what kind of drama it is? What kind of supporting role am I going to play?]

[The new drama has been submitted for company review, and once the results are out, you’ll know. I’ll recommend you for a supporting role, trying to get you the third female lead role. However, you must ensure quality performance yourself. Otherwise, if your acting doesn’t meet standards, I won’t be able to help. After all, the company’s budget for the new drama is approximately 80 million; it can’t be messed up.]

The mention of an 80 million investment by Chen Feng is, of course, exaggerated. Increasing film production costs is a common tacit rule in the domestic circles nowadays, with almost no exceptions, just a matter of degree. Fengmang Film and Television Company is no exception.

In fact, the investment for this Green Jade Case project is certainly controlled within 30 million, as neither Chen Feng nor Lu Sijia wanted to hire any big-name stars.

Despite this, it’s undoubtedly a large-scale production. Chen Feng originally didn’t plan for Yang Wenqi to play an important female supporting role in this drama, but Yang Wenqi’s inherent qualities are too good. If her acting skills meet the standards, giving her a chance to play the third female lead can perhaps add some color to the drama.

After all, Yang Wenqi is so beautiful that the audience will find it pleasing to the eye. Moreover, the third female lead’s character is somewhat endearing, being set as a silly and sweet persona.

[Boss, rest assured, I will definitely give it my all. However, I’d like to ask you to help me by giving me specific details about this new drama a bit earlier. Can I... take a look at the script?]

Upon seeing this message, Chen Feng frowned slightly, thought for a while, and still replied: [In principle, the script should not be casually shown to others, it needs to be kept confidential, so you’ll have to wait for two more days. In a few days, the company should be able to pass the new drama review.]

[Boss, please do me a favor, I’ll buy you a coffee right now at Lai Man Cafe, how about it? I’ll get you a cappuccino. Bring the script with you, I’ll read it on the spot and return it on the spot, ensuring complete confidentiality, absolutely no leakage.]

Speaking of Lai Man Cafe, Chen Feng couldn’t help but think of the scene of meeting her there initially, and at first, mistaking her for Li Liqin.

Thinking of all this, Chen Feng’s heart softened a bit and also considering she’s undoubtedly going to be a newcomer that the company heavily promotes, he sent her a message: [See you on the balcony on the second floor of Lai Man in twenty minutes.]

[Got it. Thank you, boss, you’re adorable.]

Chen Feng chuckled, put away his phone. First entered the villa, took the script of Green Jade Case from the drawer of the coffee table in the living room, then drove out again.

Tens of minutes later, the car arrived at Lai Man Cafe, only to find Yang Wenqi had arrived ahead of him. Seeing Chen Feng, she stood up happily from her seat, waved with a smile, attracting a lot of male attention around her, looking at Chen Feng with eyes filled with envy and jealousy.

"Here’s what you wanted, I’ll give you an hour."

Chen Feng came over and handed her the printed script directly.

"Thank you."

Yang Wenqi took it with a face full of delight and immediately became engrossed in flipping through it. Fortunately, she resisted and didn’t start reading immediately, first calling over a waiter to order Chen Feng a cappuccino and a piece of cheesecake.

Only then did she lower her head and seriously start reading the script.

Chen Feng sat opposite her, mindlessly sipping coffee, eating snacks, and browsing his phone, and time soon passed.

During this time, Chen Feng also stood up and wandered around the resting area on the balcony, gazing over the scenery of East Lake.

After about an hour, he returned to his seat and said to Yang Wenqi: "Alright, you should have read enough, hand it back to me."

Yang Wenqi’s reading speed is actually quite fast, she finished it in just over half an hour and was now going through it a second time.

Seeing Chen Feng speak up, she somewhat reluctantly handed the script back to him.

"Boss, I really like the second female lead character, can I act her? I promise to deliver her with utmost dedication." Yang Wenqi looked at him with an eager expression.

Chen Feng looked at her with slight surprise and shook his head: "This role is not popular, she’s a malicious woman."

"This is precisely why it’s challenging and memorable. Also, I think the second female lead character has two sides, initially she didn’t intend to harm anyone, but was compelled by circumstances later, and in the end, doesn’t she change for the better? Although it’s a bit late, she pays her life for it. This is also a very precious quality. It means she’s not inherently evil."

Chen Feng still shook his head: "Let’s talk about it later. If you want to pursue the second female lead, just wait until the crew is established, then go to audition and let President Lu and the others decide collectively."

Yang Wenqi blinked and pretended to be helpless: "Alright. Anyway, thanks for this, I’ll invite you to a bar for drinks next."

"A bar?" Chen Feng looked at her with some surprise, thinking that a woman like her shouldn’t go to a place like a bar.

"Yes, I discovered a pretty good music bar, the resident singer sings folk songs very well. The environment is also good, not noisy, and there are no random people bothering you. Xinyan took me once. Now let me take you for a second time, I’m a little scared to go alone. How about it?"

Chen Feng knew that Jin Xinyan and his group liked to go to bars for consumption, and he wasn’t particularly fond of it but couldn’t say much.

"Forget it. I’ve quit drinking. If there’s nothing else, let’s leave it at that for now." Chen Feng stood up and said, "Since you’ve read the script, go back and prepare well. When it comes to audition, you must show your best form."

"Alright then, let’s go down together."

Yang Wenqi followed closely behind Chen Feng down the stairs out of the cafe. When Chen Feng was about to part ways with her, she suddenly said: "Boss, why don’t you drop me off at my place along the way. It’s not easy to get a taxi here."

"Where are you staying now? The company should have arranged accommodation for you, right?"

"Yes, just a few minutes’ walk from here, not far from the company. A two-bedroom apartment, Yuqing and I each have a room."

"Alright, I’ll drop you off."

It’s just a few minutes’ journey, Chen Feng didn’t have much to do, so he offered her a ride.
