Chapter 72: Changed the Script
The shareholders stared at Fang Mo’er as if they were looking at a monster.
One of the shareholders could not help but ask, “Why did Miss Fang suddenly go into acting?”
Fang Mo’er smiled. “I had nothing to do, so I just decided to try it out. I didn’t expect to be chosen as the female lead. It was unexpected.”
After saying that, she covered her mouth and laughed. “Actually, it was quite easy to get the female lead role. As long as you have talent, it’s fine. When you have the time, you should go and try it out. Maybe you could also get the male lead or the second male lead roles.”
The shareholders were even more confused. Was it because the Fang family wanted to support her, so she was just playing around?
More importantly, Fang Mo’er had snatched away the role from the company’s artiste.
When Mu Chen heard Fang Mo’er’s words, he said with a cold face, “It’s settled.”
The manager began to report on the recent situation of the company’s artistes.
Since there had been no resources available for the past few days, there was a female artiste who had received a lot of attention because she had sung the theme song from a variety show.
Bai Rong had also won the role of the second female lead in a TV drama.
At this point, everyone was giving Fang Mo’er strange looks.
After a round of reporting, Mu Chen continued to insist on his initial plan. “My proposal is the same as before. 70% of the company’s resources will be used to pave the way for Bai Rong.”
Before Fang Mo’er could say anything, the other shareholders showed their unhappiness. “But, she’s only playing the second female lead. There’s no need for the company to put so much effort into her alone.”
Just then, Mu Chen knocked on the table. “Listen to me… What you don’t know is that the Mu family has also invested in this movie. Moreover, most of the script will be revised. According to the new script, the roles of the first female lead and second female lead will be almost on par!”
Only then did Fang Mo’er raise her head to look at Mu Chen. Was this what they were relying on? They were going to use the Mu family’s financial resources to support Bai Rong.
When the other shareholders heard this, they were all amazed. “In that case, Miss Bai’s future seems to be brighter.”
The Mu family was an important family and their strength was on par with the Fang family.
It was true that the Fang family wanted to support Fang Mo’er. However, if the Mu family wanted to support Bai Rong, then Bai Rong was indeed enough to be supported by the company.
This meant that both Fang Mo’er and Bai Rong were had the support of the investors.
Their future prospects would be limitless.
“If that’s the case, then I have no objections!”
“I don’t have any objections either.”
Fang Mo’er had a strange expression on her face. Since Bai Rong’s scenes had increased, that meant that the ones that had been cut would be hers.
To think that they would even be able to make the second female lead’s scenes similar to the first female lead’s.
Didn’t they know that with this change, the originally perfect script would deviate?
Now, the scriptwriter had to adapt according to their wishes and the role of the second female lead might end up being glorified instead.
Fang Mo’er’s heart was stifled and she felt disgusted.
“I believe that when the drama is broadcast, Bai Rong’s fame will definitely spread and she won’t lose to anyone!” Mu Chen aimed a meaningful look at Fang Mo’er.
The other shareholders nodded their heads.
They were also of the opinion that Fang Mo’er’s acting skills would not be able to defeat Bai Rong.
She was sure to become a foil to Bai Rong.
Throughout the meeting, only Fang Mo’er was excluded. They were just short of discussing how to make the female lead completely invisible.
Fang Mo’er sneered. “Don’t think too highly of yourself. Who knows who will become invisible?”
Mu Chen raised his eyebrows, “Then, let’s wait and see!”
“My advice is that everyone should not bet everything on the same person. After all, if Bai Rong fails to act or is crushed by someone else’s acting skills, the company’s investment will go down the drain again!” Fang Mo’er advised. After all, if the company lost money, they would lose their own money.
At least in the year-end dividends, she would want to see some profit, right?
Although the other shareholders heard Fang Mo’er words, they did not heed her.
They were blindly confident in the Mu family’s support and felt that Bai Rong was lucky. She was sure to rise to a higher level in the future.
Shaking her head, Fang Mo’er left the meeting room.
Only then did she take out her phone to call Director Wang. As expected, when Director Wang heard Fang Mo’er enquiring about the script, he said, “That’s right. I didn’t have the time to inform you yet. Don’t read the script for the next few days yet. The script is going to undergo a big change now, although the specific settings will not change much. When the new script is out, I will send it to you.”
Fang Mo’er touched her chin. “So, I suppose the Mu family was the one who suggested the changes to the script?”
The director said, “There’s no other way. The Mu family has invested a large amount of money now, which means that the script has to be even more perfect. It has to be modified! The other party has hired a few professional screenwriters, so there shouldn’t be any major mistakes!”
Fang Mo’er pouted. “Alright then, just send it to me after it’s confirmed.”
The director continued, “Miss Fang, I already know about your relationship with Miss Bai. However, I don’t care what happens on the outside, as long as you can act well.”
“I understand!” Fang Mo’er nodded.
She put away her phone, feeling a wave of melancholy.
