1800 Look At Your Worthless Appearance
“As long as they’re willing to pay the penalty, I won’t stop them from leaving,” Lu Yaolan said.
Su Bei was really angered by her shamelessness. She deliberately cut off those artistes’ resources and their development opportunities. But she wanted to make a fortune from them?
She really couldn’t believe that Lu Yaolan and Lu Heting came from the same family!
“Since they were signed by me back then, I’ll take care of them,” Su Bei said firmly.
She had also come from a humble beginning and knew very well how badly one would suffer with no opportunities.
Since those artistes joined the company because of her back then, she naturally had to be responsible for them to the end.
Lu Yaolan was furious that she did not manage to convince Su Bei.
After she got into the car, she was still angry.
Someone knocked on her car window. She lowered it and saw a refined face appear.
It was Zhuo Qingcheng, who was also a powerful figure in the capital.
After Lu Yaolan returned, she rarely contacted or interacted with her previous friends. After decades had passed, there were no common topics between them.
However, Zhuo Qingcheng was different. He had been pursuing her since she was a young lady. This time, when she returned, he still did not give up.
Zhuo Qingcheng had a short marriage that ended in failure. Now that she was back, he came to visit her very often.
Lu Yaolan did not want to have anything to do with him, but she could not withstand his persistence, so she eventually accepted this arrangement. However, she did not dare to be too close to him.
…
Su Bei quickly took those artistes to various production teams for auditions.
For President Su’s sake, many production teams did not reject.
Moreover, be it Ji Rufeng or Mu Kai, they had all become popular recently. Who didn’t know that Su Lu had once stood behind them?
The audition that Su Bei went to in the afternoon was for a production called ‘Golden Hair’. It was an adaptation of a very popular ancient romance novel.
Currently, they needed a large number of actors and actresses. Su Bei directly brought these five artistes over.
Everyone followed behind Su Bei, rubbing their palms together eagerly.
Liao Anli, who was already confirmed as the second female lead, was an artiste under Lu Yaolan, and she was here to get her photos taken today.
After filming, she removed her makeup and was talking to her assistant when she saw a young man dressed in ugly clothes walk in.
“Who is this person?” Liao Anli looked at him in disdain.
The assistant quickly said, “This is President Su of the company.”
Liao Anli was signed by Lu Yaolan, and she only joined the company after Su Bei left. She couldn’t help but cover her mouth and smile. “It’s said that President Su isn’t good-looking, but now that I’m looking at him, he’s just downright ugly! I wonder how he got to this position?”
The assistant quickly shook her head, hinting to her to stop talking.
However, Liao Anli was not afraid at all. “Why are you nervous? Did I say something wrong? Is he thinking of surviving in the entertainment industry dressed like this? Why doesn’t he look in the mirror and see if he’s qualified?!”
She was an artiste under Lu Yaolan, so she could naturally be considered someone with the backing of the Lu family. Hence, she was completely fearless!
The assistant could only lower her head and remain silent.
Liao Anli glanced at her and said in a low voice, “Look at you!”
With Lu Yaolan’s support, was there a need to be afraid of those outsiders?
Su Bei came in with the five artistes. She had already told the director to let them audition for some minor supporting roles in the movie.
It had been a long time since the five of them acted. Su Bei felt that it was better to start with minor roles.
She was leading her people in when Liao Anli stood up and stopped them. “President Su, there’s a scene going on inside. Outsiders can’t disturb. You should go back first.”
The assistant was really worried. What was wrong with Liao Anli? The director had not said anything, so what nonsense was she talking about?
“Oh? Are you the director’s assistant?” Actually, Su Bei had already recognized Liao Anli. She knew all the artistes under Lu Yaolan.
Liao Anli thought that she was very beautiful, but she was called the director’s assistant. She was even more unhappy now. “Do I have to be the director’s assistant to inform you? I’m just telling you that President Lu has already recommended other newcomers to audition for this movie. If you bring more people over, won’t you be embarrassing Nirvana Entertainment in public? I’m afraid that’s not your goal, right?”
Su Bei said indifferently, “If President Lu can recommend someone, so can I. Can’t the capable take over?”
Liao Anli immediately said, “The capable? President Su, the people around you haven’t shown their faces in front of the camera for more than half a year. How dare you call them capable people? I’m just advising you kindly.”
Huang Yushi and the others were very angry at Liao Anli’s words.
It was one thing for them to be looked down upon by Lu Yaolan, but now, they were even mocked by Liao Anli.
“Liao Anli, do you think you got the second female lead role through your ability? If President Lu hadn’t given you the resources that she got from exchanging Ji Rufeng’s resources back then, you wouldn’t even be here now!” Huang Yushi couldn’t help but say.
How could Liao Anli tolerate someone saying that?
She immediately retorted, “It’s better than you! You have nothing, you piece of trash!”
Huang Yushi was about to say something when she saw Su Bei’s unfriendly expression. She immediately held back.
Su Bei said calmly, “It turns out that you got the second female lead role through Rufeng’s lost resources.”
Liao Anli felt a chill. “What do you mean by that?”
“I’ve already said that those who are capable should take the job,” Su Bei said coldly and calmly. “Previously, I was just going to apply this principle to the minor supporting roles. Now, I think it should apply to the second female lead role too.”
Lu Yaolan once again refreshed her understanding. Ji Rufeng raked in so much money for the company, but she was now using Ji Rufeng to exchange resources.
Liao Anli felt even more uneasy. “What exactly are you doing?”
Su Bei immediately entered the set with her people.
Liao Anli was so frightened that she called Lu Yaolan.
Lu Yaolan had been in a terrible fix recently. Ever since Su Lu returned to Nirvana Entertainment, her days had never been good. Hearing this, she said, “Couldn’t you have given in to him? Who asked you to fight head-on?”
...
“I-I just wanted to stand up for you…” Liao Anli said.
“Don’t cause trouble for me if you don’t have the ability.” Lu Yaolan had no intention of protecting her.
Most importantly, she could not afford to offend Su Lu now.
Liao Anli had no choice but to wait for the results in fear.
In the afternoon, the five artistes Su Bei brought over all succeeded in the audition.
The effort they spent in building up their foundation was not wasted at all. At this moment, their skills came into play. Not only did they perform better than the newcomers recommended by Lu Yaolan, but they also performed better than the actors and actresses who had always been active in the production team.
Huang Yushi even auditioned for the second female lead role. With her stage and theater skills, she directly won over the entire production team.
The production team had just decided on Liao Anli and had yet to sign the contract. They immediately decided to replace her and asked for Huang Yushi.
