Chapter 388: Two “Good News”

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Naturally, Best Actor Jian and Ding Jing’s “gold fingers” were different. Jian Tan was born to be an actor, but Ding Jing was not.

She did not have any talent in acting. She only relied on her superior looks and the Ding Family’s considerable power and connections in the entertainment industry to reach her current position!

Actually, 80% of her current results were because of the Ding Family. It had nothing to do with her.

However, this was often the reality of the world. Most of the time, the ability of humans was not the most important. What the world valued more than ability was actually the power and benefits behind an individual.

Family and background were also a part of strength.

Xia Wei would not deny this, but she disdained to praise such people, such as Wei Xi and Ding Jing!

Ye Ting and Huo Feng fell silent when they heard Xia Wei’s words, but Ding Jing clearly did not have such a high awareness. She did not understand the sarcasm in Xia Wei’s words and the naked reality.

She frowned and looked at Xia Wei. After a pause, she said, “Do you think we’ll really listen to your preaching? Doesn’t Wei Xi, as the director, know these things better than you? Stop thinking too highly of yourself!”

As Ding Jing spoke, she seemed to have suddenly thought of something. Her frown slowly relaxed. She looked at Xia Wei opposite her and continued, “You probably don’t know yet, right? I’ve already received an invitation from Director Chen Jing to be the first female lead in the movie! Yes! It’s the first female lead in the movie ‘Zhaoyuan’ that you’re thinking of.”

“This will be my first shot when I return to China’s film industry. I believe that with my Brother Jian Tan and Director Chen around, I will complete the filming of this role very smoothly! I know that you’re the second female lead in this movie. When the movie starts filming, I’ll have to trouble you to ‘advise’ me!”

After she finished speaking, she seemed to feel that she had won a huge victory. The smugness and provocation on her face could not be concealed.

The atmosphere in the private room suddenly fell silent after Ding Jing finished speaking. Even Ye Ting, who was slightly slow to react, sensed the change in Xia Wei’s aura.

Jian Tan frowned slightly as he looked at Ding Jing. It was obvious that he was not ignorant of this news.

Xia Wei still felt that it was a little ridiculous after Ding Jing refuted her first sentence. However, she was still caught off guard and surprised when she suddenly heard this news.

“You were the one who was finally chosen for the role of ‘Song Zhang’? Ha! On what basis?” As if it was really unbelievable, Xia Wei could not maintain the indifference on her face just now. Her doubts from the bottom of her heart were self-evident.

It was not that Xia Wei did not continue to pay attention to the casting of the female lead of “Zhaoyuan”. The news she and Wang Ming received was that the role of the female lead of “Zhaoyuan”, “Song Zhang”, had been successfully won by the Best Actress of the Hundred Flowers Awards, Shen Fei!

Although this news came very secretly, it was definitely not groundless. Ding Jing obviously would not lie so easily. She was not so stupid.

Hence, the most likely possibility was that the role that had already been obtained by Shen Fei was suddenly “stolen” by Ding Jing!

This matter might be far more exciting than Xia Wei’s guess at this moment, but she did not have any interest in understanding it. She only felt that it was a pity and disgusting.

It was no wonder that Ding Jing was so smug. This indeed caught Xia Wei off guard.

As if Xia Wei’s words were very funny, Ding Jing asked her with interest, “‘On what basis’? What do you think? Of course it’s because I’m most compatible with this role! Oh right, I forgot to tell you guys another piece of good news. Wei Xi will also participate in the production of this movie. He’s the newly appointed assistant director of ‘Zhaoyuan’. Director Chen should inform you of this good news soon.”

Wei Xi and Ding Jing were on the same side. This “good news” was not good news for Xia Wei.

Xia Wei looked at the energetic Ding Jing coldly before turning to look at Wei Xi.

Of course, Xia Wei was not the only one who was surprised by this sudden news. Huo Feng widened his seductive eyes and looked at Ding Jing before looking at Xia Wei. Finally, he shifted his gaze to Jian Tan’s face.. “T-this is really ‘enemies get together’!”
