Becoming The Bigshot's Only Love After Breaking Her Engagement-Chapter 560: The CEO’s Desperate Pursuit in the Flames of Regret
"I am determined to get this role too, I also want to transform with this role." Wan Tianning quickly said.
Lan said, "That’s true, but aren’t we unprepared today? After all, you suddenly decided to audition, and we haven’t worked much on the script."
Wan Tianning was a bit irritated, Lan was completely right.
She decided on a whim to audition, and was totally unprepared.
If she’s rejected in this audition, it might be difficult to transform her role in the next two years.
If Director Li Zhuo doesn’t use her, other directors won’t consider her either.
"Since we’re unprepared, should we still audition this time?" Lin Yue asked while driving.
Wan Tianning said, "Of course we should, shrinking back without trying is not my style."
"That’s true, but don’t worry too much, maybe the role won’t be decided immediately today, you still have time to prepare thoroughly," Lin Yue said.
Lan whispered, "It’s quite difficult, I heard Song Quege has a good friend who is one of the investors, which might affect the casting."
Wan Tianning’s eyes widened, "Why didn’t you say it earlier?"
Lan whispered, "You also decided on a whim, suddenly wanting to audition for this role. I didn’t have time to investigate. Pete didn’t investigate either, he only told me after he investigated this morning, and I rushed to tell you. Anyway, Miss Wan, if you don’t get the role, don’t be too upset, there are too many other reasons."
"If all the investors are on her side, how can I get it? I definitely won’t," Wan Tianning said angrily.
Lin Yue asked again, "Do investors have a lot of influence?"
"Of course," Lan said, "Without investors, there’s no money to shoot movies. Investors have absolute influence. It’s not just about replacing an actor, even replacing the director is just a matter of one word."
"I see, Ningning, aren’t you wealthy? Why not become an investor yourself?" Lin Yue asked again.
Wan Tianning sneered, "Do you think I’m stupid? This money was earned through hard work. I’m acting to make money, not to invest. Investment is risky, and I’m not at the point of having no roles to play, so why take the risk of becoming an investor?"
"Miss Wan has a point. Investing in a film or TV show requires being prepared for losses. There’s no need for Miss Wan to take that risk right now," Lan added.
Lin Yue nodded, "I roughly understand."
"If President Lin hadn’t gone bankrupt, he could have supported Miss Wan, and obtaining the privileges of an investor would be a breeze," Lan sighed again.
Wan Tianning immediately pinched her silently and gave her a look.
This girl, always saying the wrong things at the wrong time.
Isn’t Lin Yue sad enough about going bankrupt, do you have to rub salt in his wounds?
"Sorry, President Lin, I misspoke," Lan realized her slip-up after Wan Tianning’s reminder and awkwardly slapped her own mouth.
Lin Yue smiled and said, "It’s okay, my heart isn’t that fragile. In any case, let’s go in for the audition, just do your best. If it doesn’t work out, we can strive for the next role."
"You’re talking like my... parent," Wan Tianning pouted.
However, Lin Yue’s words did put her more at ease.
Lin Yue parked the car and waited for them inside.
Wan Tianning frowned, "Are you really not going to come in with us? It’s hot in the car."
"It’s fine, I turned on the air conditioning. You two go ahead, I’ll wait outside," Lin Yue refused again.
Seeing he was unwilling, Wan Tianning had to go inside with Lan.
After they went inside, Lin Yue pulled out his phone and made a call.
"Isn’t this Mr. Wan?"
Song Quege approached with her assistant, saw Wan Tianning, and smiled, greeting her.
Wan Tianning frowned.
This Song Quege, with the same style as her?
"Oh, it’s Miss Song. Nice hairstyle, but unfortunately, with so little hair, the braid doesn’t look too good," Wan Tianning said with a smile.
It’s not just little, it’s yellow.
If she doesn’t dye it back, Director Li Zhuo, known for his temper, is sure to get angry.
"Thanks for the reminder, Mr. Wan. I’m planning to dye it back, just haven’t had the time. Anyway, there’s no rush. This role is definitely mine, the crew will wait for me to dye it back to black." Song Quege laughed.
Wan Tianning was so angry, her fists clenched.
The audition isn’t over, and she’s already claiming it’s a sure thing?
"Mr. Wan, you really didn’t need to come. Look at everyone here today; they’re all here to prop me up. It’s a surprise you actually came? I feel a bit embarrassed to have someone as big as you here as my backdrop. Why don’t you take my kind advice and leave now? Otherwise, word will spread that you got rejected after meeting me and lost face," Song Quege said smugly.
Seems like she’s one hundred percent sure she’ll be chosen, daring to talk so boastfully.
Lan gently tugged on Wan Tianning’s sleeve, giving her a look.
Actually, Lan thought, leaving now could still save some face.
If she was really rejected after the audition, she’d lose face entirely.
However, Wan Tianning was stubborn as a mule.
Push her, she won’t go; hit her, she’ll step back.
If Song Quege hadn’t said those words, she might have been willing to leave.
But after hearing those words, leaving with her tail between her legs?
Not a chance.
"I heard Director Li Zhuo has high standards for actors. I don’t believe he’d disregard acting skills and casually pick someone to warm the bed," Wan Tianning laughed contemptuously, directly retorting Song Quege.
Song Quege’s face turned green with anger.
In their line of work, who doesn’t have a few sordid deals?
But no one had ever been so directly insulted to their face like Wan Tianning just did.
After all, in this industry there’s no forever friends, no forever enemies.
Even if you know the other person is playing dirty, you still smile and accept it; after all, you might cross paths again in the future.
"Wan Tianning, how dare you speak to me like this! Aren’t you afraid of being blacklisted?"
"You? Blacklist me? What a joke," Wan Tianning rolled her eyes and walked away with Lan.
Lan urgently said, "Miss Wan, you were too impulsive just now. No matter what, she is Song Quege, currently the center of attention. You shouldn’t have confronted her."
"This time I wasn’t the one causing trouble; she was flaunting arrogance, boasting in front of me. If I could tolerate that, I wouldn’t be Wan Tianning!" Wan Tianning huffed.
Lan sighed.
True.
Given what Song Quege said, it’s already impressive their Miss Wan didn’t slap her across the face.
Oh well, offending just one person isn’t a big deal; as long as their Miss Wan is happy, she can offend whoever she wants.
