Song Ci quickly said, “Brother Zheng, your acting skills are so good. It’s only right that you play the lead role. However, I’ve already discussed it with the director… Next time, when Director Qian works with the company again, you can act as his male lead.”

“It seems like you like Director Qian a lot. Has he signed on to do other projects?”

“He really is an amazing director. You’ll definitely like him,” Song Ci replied without hesitation.

“I look forward to it, then,” Chu Yi said. He was curious about the director he had never met before and wanted to meet him since Song Ci admired him so much.

!!
Seeing that Chu Yi had agreed, Song Ci silently heaved a sigh of relief. She was adamant about not letting anything affect Qian Wu’s stardom career and wanted to ensure the greatest honor that ‘Rebirth’ should have. Therefore, she invited the future Best Actor, Chu Yi, to take part in the movie. This would also give the film another layer of insurance. As long as ‘Rebirth’ was as she had expected, it would be a good opportunity for Chu Yi as well.

After settling the matter with Chu Yi, Song Ci contacted Tian Tian.

Tian Tian, however, was much busier than Chu Yi.

“Although I would really like to agree to it, I’m afraid my schedule is full. I’m booked until the year after next as I’ve signed the contract…” Tian Tian said helplessly.

Song Ci thought about it and had no choice. “Next time, then. By the way, the director is called Qian Wu. Lu Gan said that you might know him. Do you? ”

“I’ve heard of this name before, but I don’t know who it is,” Tian Tian replied after some thought.

Song Ci did not say much. Since they did not manage to get Tian Tian on board this time, they could only wait till the next.

Tian Tian did not insist on such matters. “Let’s talk about it when the time comes.”

Song Ci said firmly, “We don’t have to wait until the time comes. You haven’t broken into the movie industry yet, so cooperate next time and be the female lead.”

“You think so highly of him? Is Qian Wu that capable?” Tian Tian was astonished.

“If he wasn’t, would I have asked you to work with him?” Song Ci asked.

Tian Tian suddenly burst into laughter. She realized that Song Ci was a fascinating person. When they first met, Song Ci had said she would help her expand to the film industry to make her stay. At that time, she thought Song Ci was just making empty promises to get her to stay. Since she felt Song Ci’s skill in making empty promises was not bad, she gave her affirmation. However, she did not take it seriously.

A boss would always say lots of good things to keep the employees. It was equivalent to an empty check. While it was nice to listen to it, taking it seriously would only lead to failure. Furthermore, Song Ci was a newly appointed boss. She had taken the initiative to tell Tian Tian about the audition for ‘Seeking Danger’ and asked her to go for the audition. Ultimately, due to the director’s concerns, Tian Tian was not selected, and she ended up signing on to a TV drama.

Song Ci, on the other hand, waited for an opportunity to call her. She was afraid that she would overthink things and promised to continue recommending her. Now that Song Ci had met a good director, she could not wait to invite her. However, since she said she did not have time, Song Ci immediately arranged for her to act as the female lead in the next movie.

It was something Tian Tian had not taken to heart, but Song Ci had kept it in mind and put it into practice with all her heart, making Tian Tian feel inexplicably touched. She agreed. “Alright. I’ll definitely work with him next time.”

“Great.” Song Ci replied.

Tian Tian said softly, “I wish you all the best for this upcoming movie and your commercial and literary films.”

“I’ll count on your blessings,” Song Ci said bluntly. When the call ended, she sent a message to Qian Wu, asking him to pay special attention to Chu Yi during the audition and pick a suitable role for him.

Frankly speaking, Song Ci had her own selfish motives. Among the employees of Sunshine Media, there was no doubt she was more concerned about Tian Tian, Chu Yi, and Fu Qinqin. She did not want Fu Qinqin to end up the way she did in the original novel, but she also hoped that Chu Yi would get the honor he deserved. Tian Tian was signed by Lu Heng, and it was because of him that she stayed with Sunshine Media. During her confrontation with Jin Li, Tian Tian also kept other artists from Sunshine Media from leaving and stabilized the hearts of the people out of gratitude for Lu Heng’s knowledge and guidance. Tian Tian was like a spark of fire left behind by Lu Heng, a symbol of him.

Once the other people in Sunshine Media accepted Jin Li and her, they gradually forgot about Lu Heng’s existence. When other general managers took over later on, only Tian Tian remembered Lu Heng and always put Sunshine Media on the same level as him.
