Chapter 241 - Use Her
Chapter 241: Use Her
It was Tang Ze, or Little Tang, who said that. He had long heard of Mo Li but he had not seen her in person. He wondered if they had the chance to cooperate in the future.
“So are you going to sign her or not?” Director Zhang asked Nie Lie.
“It’s not simple, I did ask her to think about it but it’s clear that she’s not interested to pursue a career in acting. Plus, there’s that recent matter…” Nie Li lowered her eyes. Ever since the incident with He Sen, Nie Li hadn’t had any contact with Mo Li. The girl was much harder to grasp than she thought.
“Mo Zheng used to be one of your people and Mo Li is his sister. You have all the right connection, you shouldn’t let others get ahead of you.” Director Zhang urged, “This is the first time I’ve seen a newbie with such huge potential. Don’t waste it.”
However, when it came to close connection, Mo Xiao should be the closest to Mo Li!
“Tang Ze, you should consider using Mo Li in your project. I guarantee that you won’t be disappointed. And Ol’ Zhan, you really need to fight for the girl. You’ll have nothing to lose!” Director Zhang was Mo Li’s biggest fan. Since he had said that, the other producers, managers and directors became interested in Mo Li.
Mo Li had a good relationship with Nie Li, she was in a few movies already and she had a fanbase because she was Mo Zheng’s sister. Instead of cultivating someone completely new, why not choose someone like Mo Li who had the basics and potential?
“This is the first time I see you push an actor so hard, Ol’ Zhang. Actually I do have a script in the works. It’s called Like a Willow, I wonder if Mo Li would be interested.” Tang Ze turned to Nie Li as if asking for her opinion.
Zhan Hai was silent, he was surprised that so many people had such good impression of Mo Li.
“Wait, Little Tang, Like a Willow is your biggest project! Are you attempting to pour resource into Mo Li to make her as big of a star as Song Xin?!” An investor read Tang Ze’s thoughts.
“Why not? The girl is both pretty and talented.” Tang Ze said matter-of-factly.
Everyone turned to Tang Ze with confusion because there had been gossip about Tang Ze and Song Xin. When Song Xin was still a 23 years old student at Zhong Xin University, she was already a well-established actor!
Perhaps to injure her rise to stardom, someone released a rumor that Song Xin was actually a two-faced person. Since she was a child actor, Song Xin lived her whole life on the stage, this meant that no one really knew her true persona. The Song Xin that everyone knew was just her stage persona and her real persona was a bitch. The public ate up the rumor and Song Xin’s reputation was injured. When everyone abandoned Song Xin, only Tang Ze stood forward to vouch for her. Therefore, there came another rumors that they were actually a couple.
When Song Xin went overseas to develop her career, it was said that she broke up with Tang Ze. The gossip mags had so many ‘exclusives’ that many people believed it was the truth. Neither party came out to clarify.
But now Tang Ze was aiming to help a newcomer just as Song Xin was coming back to China, the others couldn’t help but wonder if the break up was as tumultuous as the magazines made it out to be. Tang Ze was from Huan Yu while Mo Xiao and Song Xin were from Le Yun Entertainment. There was constant competition between them, but to use Mo Xiao’s own little sister against him, that was rather ruthless.
“No! That won’t do! Little Tang, you mustn’t do that!”
“Little Tang, Mo Li hasn’t signed with us and she is a new artist. It’s unwise for you to place all your resource on her. She might cause you to lose everything.”
“Brother, you better think twice. This is too big of a risk.” A few producers and investors said. They were shocked by Tang Ze’s decision. Only Director Zheng nodded approvingly at Tang Ze.
Nie Li’s eyes flashed with a glint. She was unwilling to give up on Mo Li but after what had happened, Mo Li had lost trust in her. What if I have Quan Yu go persuade her… No, that won’t do. If he finds out, I had her be a naked body double in the past, he might just kill me.
Despite the persuasion, Tang Ze was adamant. It became clear to everyone that Huan Yu would be heavily cultivating Mo Li in the near future.
“By the way, how much is the budget for Like a Willow?”
“The exact number hasn’t been released but it shouldn’t be less than 100 million!”
“Wow, Huan Yu sure has a lot of confidence in this girl but how can you be sure the girl will agree to join the project?” One of the investors asked.
Nie Li pulled out a picture from her tablet. “Because we have this woman!”
