1233 It Means I’m the Chosen One
After entering the company, Jian Ai walked straight to the general manager’s office. When she passed by Qiao Yuan’s office, she vaguely heard Qiao Yuan’s voice from inside.
“Why are they saying that the script is not suitable now? Why didn’t they do so earlier?!”
“Everything is ready. The filming time has been confirmed. The female lead won’t come just like that? Don’t they have any professionalism?”
Jian Ai vaguely heard these words. Because Qiao Yuan was angry, his voice was very loud!
Jian Ai stopped in her tracks and looked at the tightly shut office door in surprise. She knew Qiao Yuan quite well. He was the typical cynical person who was extremely serious about his work.
However, he was still relatively easygoing and could get along well with the company’s subordinates. His reputation in the company was excellent, and Jian Ai had never seen him lose his temper.
From Qiao Yuan’s words just now, it seemed to be related to the company’s new drama project?
Jian Ai thought for a moment and knocked on Qiao Yuan’s office door.
“Come in!” Qiao Yuan’s voice came. This time, he had obviously suppressed the anger in his heart. Perhaps he could not hold back his anger just now.
Jian Ai pushed the door open. Qiao Yuan and Jiang Shan, the other person in charge of the project team, were in the office.
The two of them were stunned when they saw Jian Ai. Qiao Yuan stood up from his office chair. “CEO, why are you here?”
“I’m here to look for my brother!” Jian Ai had a smile on her face. As she spoke, she had already entered the office and closed the door. Then, she looked at Qiao Yuan and asked, “What’s going on? I heard you talking outside just now. Did something happen to the project?”
Qiao Yuan was not a hypocritical person. Even in front of the CEO, Jian Ai, he was not the person who would only say good things.
He nodded with an ugly expression. “The company is about to film a historical fantasy drama. We had been preparing for a long time and everything was almost ready. In the end, the female lead suddenly ditched us and said that the script was not suitable, so she’s not acting anymore!”
Jiang Shan also said with an embarrassed expression, “The script being unsuitable is just an excuse. She must have seen that the actors in our drama aren’t good enough and we didn’t have any online famous actors, so she didn’t want to collaborate.”
Jian Ai couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Didn’t they sign the contract? This is considered a breach of contract, right?!”
“The other party kept delaying the contract. They initially signed the contract yesterday afternoon, but we received news of them backing out this morning,” Qiao Yuan said.
“Which company is the other party from? Is she very famous?” Jian Ai asked curiously.
After all, although not signing the contract was not considered a breach of contract, suddenly standing the production team up before filming started would not be a good topic for the actors if word got out.
“Zhao Yifei!” Jiang Shan said, “She’s one of the top four newbies in the country. She has a huge fan base and good acting skills. The company also took a liking to her condition, so we offered a good price. We were considered sincere!”
Zhao Yifei. Jian Ai was naturally familiar with this name. In her previous life, Zhao Yifei’s path to stardom was very smooth. She went from being one of the top four newbies to one of the top four big shots. Moreover, because of her outstanding acting skills, she even won many authoritative awards in the country.
