Rebirth Sweet Wife, Super Cute-Chapter 138: Personally Selecting Newcomers

"By the way, Director Bai, this is the list of artists you asked me to pick out from the company who refuse to compromise their principles and whose talent and acting skills have been overlooked."

Gan Lanlan took out a CD, "These are the scenes where their acting really stands out, although they are not important roles, they performed very well and put a lot of heart into completing them."

"Hmm, nice work!" Bai Haoxue took out the CD and started to play it.

"Oh, Lan, compile a list of the reputable film schools in S City for me, would you?"

"Director Bai, what do you need this for?"

Bai Haoxue said, "I took away so many artists from the company, I have to inject some fresh blood into it, don’t I?"

"I’m considering two scripts right now. One is a more serious drama. I’ll assign the roles to those seasoned, skilled artists in the company, basically picking from the list you just gave me."

"The other is a trending period-piece big IP in the market right now, which I need to personally select new talents for."

"Director Bai, newcomers might not work. They lack a fan base and acting skills... They can’t support the traffic and ratings. Big IPs still need popular actors and actresses. Many book fans automatically envision their idols when reading novels."

Bai Haoxue shook her head, "Lan, I currently don’t have enough money to afford those popular actors and actresses’ fees. Newcomers are cheaper, understand?"

Gan Lanlan: "..."

Exactly, the current popular actors and actresses all demand astronomical fees, starting from tens of millions, some even reaching hundreds of millions.

The group only provided 80 million as revival funds. Fortunately, Director Bai has both the determination and unique ways to secure a large sum of artists’ breach penalties.

"Currently, none of these company artists are famous, just like the newcomers, they’re all virtually unknown, so their fees will be much less," Bai Haoxue said, "The money must be spent wisely on key areas like costumes, effects, production, storyline, and acting. If these are in place, the ratings won’t be too bad."

Traffic stars have flow and status but not necessarily acting skills.

Of course, more importantly, even if they did have those skills, she couldn’t afford them because, well, there’s no money!

Bai Haoxue worked through the morning, conducting another round of selection from the list and video that Gan Lanlan provided, finally deciding on a few names.

Looking at the few people she selected, Bai Haoxue planned to observe them further.

The script this time was something she had chosen after much deliberation. She firmly believed that with the right casting, it would definitely be a hit.

However, the funds they were reallocating were really tight. Thinking of this, Bai Haoxue dialed Bai Youran’s number.

When Bai Youran saw Bai Haoxue’s name on the caller ID, her grip on the phone tightened.

Right now, she wished she could tear Bai Haoxue to pieces. Bai Youran, who always stood high above and was adored by thousands, now had to hide at home due to Bai Haoxue.

Bai Haoxue got straight to the point, asking, "Bai Youran, Li Qingqing and Han Xiaoqin have both terminated their contracts. When are you going to terminate yours?"

Bai Youran: "..."

Bai Haoxue’s words almost directly indicated, Bai Youran, I’m really short on cash now. Hurry up and terminate your contract, pay the penalty!

Bai Youran is the leading actress at Star Entertainment, with the highest net worth, so of course, her penalty wouldn’t be a small amount.

Bai Youran furiously said, "Bai Haoxue, stop dreaming. Do you think I’m one of those fools? I, Bai Youran, will never terminate the contract on my own accord."

Bai Haoxue pursed her lips indifferently, "Is that so... well then..."
