Chapter 537: A Couple of Years
After Yuan Meng left Hua Land, Yuan Shuo and Gu Weiwei did not lose their rationality by going to the Anderson Family to look for her.
Yuan Bao was taken care of by Mrs. Fu at the Fu Family’s mansion and so they did not need to worry about him at all.
Yuan Shuo started to cooperate with He Chi’s postoperative treatment at the hospital, so Gu Weiwei officially ended her vacation and started to work.
The preparations for the new movie were already halfway done, so the directing team and the film crew were arranged to have their first meeting and the cast members were decided.
Gu Weiwei frowned deeply, when she saw the staff drawn up by the assistant director.
She was the lead actress, Fu Shiyi was the lead actor and the other roles were all artists from Shiyi Culture.
Fu Shiyi said to her proudly, “They are the best looking artists from the entire company. If they all star in this movie, it will definitely be very popular.”
Gu Weiwei sighed with one hand against her forehead. “Can’t you be more reliable?”
Although Shiyi Culture was filming the movie, there was no need to include so many artists from the company.
There was a saying that artists from Shiyi Culture made a living from their looks.
But what she wanted were actors with good acting skills, not feasts for the eyes.
“What’s wrong? I have been very focused on the preparations.” Fu Shiyi said. He had spent a great deal of effort on selecting these actors.
Gu Weiwei did not want to talk with him anymore, so she wrote down the actors, who she was especially looking for, on the list.
“I want these actors.”
Fu Shiyi took it and looked at it. “Song Yu is the lead actor? So what should I do?”
He was the President of Shiyi Culture and yet he could not even play the male lead.
“I left you a supporting role.” Gu Weiwei pointed at his name on the list.
Fu Shiyi immediately protested, when he saw the role that he had been assigned.
“This is a mentally ill patient and he is not even handsome! My fans will definitely protest if I play this role.”
Gu Weiwei gritted her teeth and warned him.
“Third Master, you have a few more years of youth left and so you can show off your handsomeness… after this. Why can’t you become a capable person and an actor with substance?”
If he continued to only be good-looking, in the next few years, people would soon get sick of him.
“But you can’t make me play a mental patient!” Fu Shiyi said unhappily.
“Then you can ask someone else to do it. You should have other contracts lined up too, so you don’t actually need this role.” Gu Weiwei said straightforwardly.
“It’s just a mental patient, right? I will play the role! Okay, happy now?” Fu Shiyi gritted his teeth and agreed.
He looked at the actors she had written down and said helplessly, “Who are these people? I have never heard of them before.”
“I picked them over the last few days, have someone sign the contract with them.” Gu Weiwei said.
Since it was a low-budget movie, she would not hire famous actors.
They were all C or D-list actors and some of them were newbies, who had just entered the industry.
However, they were all talented and good at acting. All they lacked was the opportunity.
Since she had not found anyone suitable to play the male lead, she decided to choose Song Yu, who had acted with her in the Eyes of the Eagle.
Song Yu had excellent acting skills and his temperament was similar to the role.
After the meeting, Fu Shiyi left for work and Gu Weiwei was planning to return to the villa.
Jolin knew that she was focusing on the movie, so he did not give her any more work.
She had just left the company when Mrs. Fu called.
“Weiwei, I am shopping for clothes with Yuan Bao, it is not far from your company, do you want to come over?”
“Okay, I will be right there.” Gu Weiwei replied.
Yuan Bao had fallen asleep the other day and she had been feeling very guilty about sending him back, without saying goodbye.
When she arrived at the mall, the elevator had only gone up two floors, when the doors opened and she saw Meng Ruya, with several other wealthy ladies.
“Mu Weiwei?!”
Due to the popularity of the Eyes of the Eagle and MG’s global commercials, Meng Ruya instantly recognized her.
