Chapter 105: Reason for His Choice

Later, a friend of Man Li got the news from somewhere and asked Man Li to recommend Xu Rui to Jiang Wen.

Xu Rui was a student at one of the top universities in the country. She studied music, but she had always wanted to enter the entertainment industry. After watching Xu Rui’s video, Man Li felt that Xu Rui fit the temperament of a “back-view goddess”, so she introduced Xu Rui to Jiang Wen.

After Xu Rui’s interview, Jiang Wen was also very satisfied. He even said, “I can finally sleep well.”

At that time, no one expected Lu Zhen, who followed Xu Rui in, to exceed everyone’s expectations and interpret another charming “back-view goddess”.

If Xu Rui’s role as the “back-view goddess” was 70% of her own shadow, then Lu Zhen had completely created a role that had nothing to do with her. In this aspect, Lu Zhen’s acting skills were indeed amazing.

Xu Rui’s “back-view goddess” was artistic and elegant. Her figure as she played the piano was beautiful and graceful.

Lu Zhen’s role as the “back-view goddess” was very tense. At first, her back looked calm and dignified, but when she played the piano at the beginning, the burning vitality and heat shocked everyone.

Man Li was also stunned at that time. She watched Lu Zhen’s performance in fascination. Although there was no sound of the piano at the event location, she seemed to have heard that beautiful music. She was also attracted by the girl playing the piano in front of her.

After the audition ended, Man Li seemed to have forgotten that she had recommended Xu Rui to Jiang Wen. She praised Lu Zhen’s performance generously. But in order to give her friend face, she did not vote for Lu Zhen. Instead, she expressed a neutral attitude.

Two days had passed since the audition. Man Li came to visit Jiang Wen today and gave him a set of alumni souvenirs from the Capital National Film and Television University.

Man Li placed the fruit on the table and opened her satchel. She took out a black velvet box with the school badge of the Capital National Film and

Television University. “For you, it’s this year’s anniversary gift.” Man Li smiled. “In the blink of an eye, we’ve graduated for more than 20 years.” After chatting for a while, Man Li asked, “I saw you smiling happily from afar just now. Is that matter confirmed?”

Jiang Wen nodded. “Yes, at first, Pan Miao didn’t agree to let Lu Zhen play this role. I know her concerns. She was afraid that Lu Zhen would steal her limelight. I’ve been negotiating with them for the past few days and finally resolved this matter.”

“Anyone who stands beside a beauty like Lu Zhen will become less conspicuous,” Man Li said with emotion.

“I made an agreement with Pan Miao’s company. During the publicity period ot the production team, Lu Zhen won’t appear in front of the media, and the person playing this role will be kept a secret. This way, Pan Miao’s popularity won’t be divided by Lu Zhen. I’ve already given in so much, and they have nothing to say, so they can only agree.” Jiang Wen revealed a relaxed smile.

“Actually, what Yang Le said at that time made sense. If Lu Zhen acted in your movie, Pan Miao’s elegance would definitely be covered up. If it were me, I might choose to use Xu Rui and then look for Lu Zhen to work with in the next movie. That way, there won’t be a problem,” Man Li said honestly.

Jiang Wen slowly shook his head. “Man Li, you’ve been teaching in school for too long. You might not know much about this industry. I chose Lu Zhen firstly because her performance has indeed satisfied me. Secondly, I do hope to continue working with her in the future. Thirdly, in my opinion, Lu Zhen’s reputation might allow the box office of this movie to reach a new height.”

As a well-known director with great box office appeal in the country, Jiang Wen was not only talented, but he also knew some business operations. He had prepared this movie for many years. Naturally, he hoped that this movie could set a new box office record for domestic romance and art films.

However, the male and female leads of this movie were both capable movie actors. Their fame and popularity were not that high. After the movie was broadcast, it was very likely that it would not be popular enough. They could only rely on their reputation to attract audiences.

However, if Lu Zhen really joined, this situation might change.

Lu Zhen was one of the most famous female artists in the country at the moment. With Lu Zhen joining, the popularity of this movie would definitely rise to a higher level!

Lu Zhen, who was in a good mood, did not know what Director Jiang Wen was thinking. However, even if she knew, she would not be disappointed.

The entertainment industry was a very competitive circle. Values were given to each other. There was no free lunch in the world. Lu Zhen’s strength, beauty, and popularity were her advantages and her greatest assets..
