Chapter 155 Substitution
Chapter 155 Substitution
Ning You sighed for a while, and finally said, "You decide."
Ji Fengfan frowned and asked, "What's wrong? Audition results?" He picked up the blue folder and opened the first page. It was the audition list that Ning You had originally planned to give to him for signature before announcing to the public. The female lead originally had the words [Xia Qingqian] written on it, but now there was an additional handwritten [Shen Shuyi] at the end.
"What do you mean?" Ji Fengfan asked.
"From a professional perspective, Shen Shuyi's acting skills are indeed slightly better. She has a very good aura of a heroine, which may also be related to her upbringing. I have to admit that she is indeed very talented and suitable for the role. But Xia Qingqian is also very good, with acting skills and a strong sense of substitution for the role, especially the psychological scenes are very good. How should I put it? These two people have their own strengths, so let's call it a tie." Ning You told Ji Fengfan about the interview. He knew that Shen Shuyi must have an extraordinary background to make Ji Fengfan make an exception. Since the two people are of similar level, let the person who pays for it decide for himself.
Ji Fengfan stared at the list, frowned, pursed his lips and said nothing.
Ning You glanced at him and continued, "Shen Shuyi has already said that she is determined to get this role, and she has agreed to sign with JK Entertainment. I have to say that she has indeed thrown out a big olive branch. That's the situation, you decide for yourself."
Seeing that Ji Fengfan still didn't speak, Ning You urged anxiously, "Say something."
Ji Fengfan closed the folder and said, "If the two people's levels are the same, then let's choose Shen Shuyi." If she really has this ability, even if he doesn't agree, she will still find other ways to get the role in the end, and there is no need to beat around the bush.
Ning You was stunned, looking a little surprised. He thought Ji Fengfan would choose Xia Qingqian. After all, he never let others use connections. According to the rules, this role should be given to Xia Qingqian.
"Are you sure? It will be difficult to change it once it is announced, and... I met Yang Manni before and revealed some information to her. This news... I guess Xia Qingqian knows it..." Ning You said, while observing Ji Fengfan's expression.
Others may not understand the groundless news about Ji Fengfan and Xia Qingqian, but Ning You saw through the trick and he simply did not believe that there was nothing wrong with these two people.
Well, he can only coax his own wife, so he just listens to his boss.
"Then just sign it, it's settled." Ning You reopened the document.
Ji Fengfan paused for a moment, picked up a pen and wrote down three words in a flourish, and said, "We will announce the list after Xia Qingqian's variety show is over."
Ning You was slightly startled, as expected, there was an affair.
Nodding, "Okay, there's no rush to turn it on anyway."
After Ning You left, Ji Fengfan sat in the chair, blankly for a long time. He knew that making this decision would inevitably hurt Qianqian's heart, but according to Shen Shuyi's personality, if the role was given to Qianqian, she would not let the filming of this drama go smoothly. Since her acting skills could pass Ning You's test, he might as well give it to her.
As for Qianqian...he will find another opportunity to make it up to her.
Ji Fengfan didn't expect that after the opening, subsequent events would become increasingly out of control.
Shen Shuyi's signing with JK Entertainment was on the hot search for several days. The publicity department took advantage of this hot topic to do some publicity. Then the news that she was about to play the leading female role in "Beauty Taken" quietly spread, and people in the company were discussing this matter privately.
Firstly, the drama had been well promoted in the early stages and was well known to everyone. There were also high-profile auditions. Now Shen Shuyi was suddenly cast, and she was a big star who had returned from abroad, so naturally everyone was talking about it.
After Yang Manni learned the news, she first ran to find Ning You.
"I heard that Shen Shuyi has been chosen to play the leading female role in 'Beauty Taken'?" Yang Manni didn't even beat around the bush and blocked Ning You at the bathroom door and asked straight to the point.
Ning You rubbed the back of his head, not daring to look Yang Manni in the eye, and only said, "Who told you that? It hasn't been announced yet."
Yang Manni watched his movements, but she had already guessed what he was doing. She was a little angry, "Why did you suddenly change people?"
Ning You had clearly told her before that the female lead was Xia Qingqian.
"Don't be angry. This kind of thing is common in the circle. You have been a manager for so many years, aren't you used to it?" Ning You advised.
Yang Manni turned around angrily and rushed to the office to find Ji Fengfan. Ning You was worried and followed her to Ji Fengfan's office.
"Boss Ji, has the leading female role in Beauty Taken been given to someone else?" Yang Manni asked bluntly, "What about Qianqian? I believe you know how long she has been preparing for this play."
The situation was urgent and Yang Manni no longer cared about her boss or employees.
Ning You saw that Ji Fengfan looked unhappy, so he pulled Yang Manni and prepared to take her away.
Yang Manni pushed him away and turned around to scold, "Don't touch me, and you too. All men are bad."
Yang Manni had already imagined that Shen Shuyi was hooking up with Ji Fengfan, and Ji Fengfan had dumped Xia Qingqian, so the female lead role was given to Shen Shuyi, so she was furious at the moment.
Ning You knew that Yang Manni was angry, so he didn't bother with her. He just reached out and covered her mouth. This girl was really brave. She rushed into the boss's office and cursed people. She was the only one in the company who dared to do this.
Ji Fengfan stood up and walked forward from behind the desk, "I'll explain to Qianqian."
Yang Manni was slightly startled after hearing this. It seemed that it had been decided.
She weakly shook off Ning You's hand and said coldly, "Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Ji." Then she left the office without looking back.
"Mr. Ji, I'll go see her." Ning You also hurriedly followed.
Yang Manni ran to the top floor in one breath. She herself found it hard to accept and her eyes were red with anger. If Qianqian knew about this, she would feel so upset.
I thought Ji Fengfan had changed his mind this time, but I didn't expect him to change so quickly. Men are really unreliable. It's a pity that I haven't had time to pave the way for this girl.
Ning You followed her to the top floor and stood beside Yang Manni.
I deliberately laughed and teased, "What's wrong today? Is your period coming?"
"Get out." Yang Manni kicked him.
Ning You laughed and dodged the kick, but he did not leave.
"Okay, it's a done deal. There's not much use in getting angry. Find some other work for your little sister. Do you want me to introduce her to someone?" Ning You said.
Yang Manni rolled her eyes at him, "Yes, why not?"
If you have resources and don’t use them, you’d be a fool.
