Chapter 84 - 84 No One Can Please Her
Zhen Xi sat beside Xi Wan, but before she could say anything, a man in a white shirt squeezed in between them. “Director, you’re so biased. Why did you only introduce Zhen Xi but not me?”
The man in the white shirt was the male protagonist of this television series. His name was Cai Yi.”
Cai Yi was able to get the position as the male protagonist all because of his high popularity. However, no matter how popular he was, the director would naturally favor Zhen Xi more as Zhen Xi brought money into this production. Therefore, when he was making introduction to Xi Wan, the director also planned to place more emphasis on Zhen Xi.
!!
However, at this moment, Cai Yi had jumped out on his own accord. The director looked a little embarrassed and said, “What nonsense are you talking about? I haven’t even introduced you yet, have I? Zhen Xi is a young lady, haven’t you heard of the phrase, ‘ladies first’?”
“I see. I’ve misunderstood you.” Cai Yi chuckled and sat on the other side of Xi Wan, saying, “Hello, Miss Xi Wan. I’m the male protagonist of this television series. My name is Cai Yi.”
Xi Wan still had some impression of Cai Yi. He was currently the leader of the most popular boy group in the entertainment industry.
“Hello.” Xi Wan greeted him simply.
Cai Yi did not feel embarrassed at all. He was naturally a sociable person. He smiled at Xi Wan and said, “I’m your fan, Miss Xi Wan. I’ve liked you ever since you debuted and I’ve been liking you since then! I’ve liked you for many years.”
“Oh?” Xi Wan’s interest was piqued and she asked Cai Yi, “That means you’ve seen the works I’ve acted in?”
“Of course. I’ve watched all the television series and movies you acted in. To be honest, I wanted to act when I first entered the entertainment industry, but I didn’t expect to become part of a boy band by accident.” When Cai Yi said this, he felt a little regretful, as if it was a very regrettable thing.
“So, according to what you said, you think my acting skill is very good then?” Xi Wan asked.
“That’s only natural! Miss Xi Wan, your acting skills are unparalleled in my eyes.” Cai Yi even gave her a thumbs up.
In fact, he had never seen any of Xi Wan’s works. He had just found out about all these at the last minute. But, so what? Xi Wan wouldn’t pursue in detail whether he had really seen her works or not.
If he wanted to please the rich lady, the first step was to flatter her first. This was especially so for someone like Xi Wan. He simply had to praise her with all his might until she was full of confidence.
However, Xi Wan still evaluated Cai Yi’s vision objectively. “If you say that, then I think there’s a problem with your vision and the direction you want to work in.”
“What?!” Cai Yi was stunned.
Xiao Zhe looked at Xi Wan from the side and once again felt that she had become different from before. Different emotions flickered in his eyes and Zhao Fei, who was in the corner, noticed all these.
What was going on? Could it be that Xiao Zhe also had feelings for Xi Wan? However, she was clearly the female protagonist, so why are they all falling in love with Xi Wan?
“I know you. You’re the leader of a boy band. This should be your first time acting.” Xi Wan said, “You don’t have much experience in this area. Can you really play the role of the male protagonist?”
She then looked at the director and asked, “You should have already auditioned him for the role, right? Are his acting skills really good?”
The director did not know how to explain it because he had asked Cai Yi to come over purely because of his popularity. Although his acting skills weren’t very good, this was a drama with a famous female protagonist. It was still possible for him to play a role in the background.
Hence, he could only give an ambiguous explanation, “Actually, the main character of this television series is still the female protagonist. It’s not a problem for Cai Yi to act as a male protagonist who doesn’t have many scenes in the television series.”
“Even if this is a major female protagonist televisions series, it doesn’t mean that you can fool around with the acting skills of those who are in the background.” Xi Yan frowned and turned to Zhen Xi and asked, “You’re the female protagonist of this television series, so you should have been in contact with him in the past two days. What do you think of his acting?”
“I’m not sure, the filming of the television series hasn’t started yet,” Zhen Xi replied after pausing for a moment.
“What do you mean you don’t know? Could it be that the two of you have never acted out the scene before?” Xi Wan was a little shocked. Even if she had only taken on small roles in the past, she would still have to go through the process of acting. But what was the situation between Zhen Xi and Cai Yi?
