Lu Wanwan was still holding a cup in her hand, and when she saw that figure, she was so surprised that she even forgot she was wearing high heels, which she wasn’t accustomed to.
She stumbled a bit and almost fell.
"Miss Lu, be careful." A hand reached out to steady her by the waist, "Have you had too much to drink?"
Lu Wanwan quickly stepped back, cautious but with a smile on her face, "Director Wei, thank you very much."
The man in front of her smiled continuously, sizing her up with his eyes, "Miss Lu, actually I think you’re quite suited for the entertainment circle. Why waste your talent being a journalist when you have such good qualifications?"
"Director Wei is just joking."
"I’m not joking at all, I’m seriously suggesting this." The man swirled his wine glass and took a few steps closer, "I see that you’re friends with Lingyun too. Let him guide you, and you’ll catch on quickly. By then, the money you make will be much more than what you’d earn as a journalist."
"I’m not that acquainted with Mr. Bai."
Hearing this, Director Wei chuckled, "Of course, I can see that. Lingyun isn’t too involved with people in the industry either. Indeed, these past few years, he has started to fade out of the entertainment circle, seldom taking roles. Even the roles he takes are no longer mainstream; he might not be so good at coaching newcomers. Actually, I think your temperament is very much in line with the female lead in my new movie."
Lu Wanwan had just had a brief conversation with this Director Wei. She didn’t say much, but on the task list she had, there was one about the feature of his recent new film.
The content she needed to understand involved various aspects, naturally including this director.
Earlier, in front of Bai Lingyun, this director seemed quite refined.
But now, all of a sudden, she felt an instinctual urge to retreat.
"Director Wei, I really am just a journalist, with no intentions of entering the entertainment industry, but thank you for your high regard." Lu Wanwan politely smiled, "However, I am indeed very interested in learning more about your new film. I heard that this time the production team even hired a Hollywood special effects team, is that correct?"
"Hehe." Director Wei’s gaze lingered around her chest area again, "Those special effects, well, they’re for 3D effects. Nowadays, films put a lot of effort in this area, and you don’t have to worry about the box office at all. Really, Miss Lu. Think about it; you know that this movie I’ve been preparing for years is the center of much attention, and for the female lead, I am looking for a fresh new face."
"I really am not a fresh new face..."
Gu Annan’s eyes, looking this way, flashed with a chilly light.
"Big Brother Gu, what are you looking at?" Shuman curiously followed his gaze.
She saw a woman with half her back exposed, talking to a lecherous-looking man.
"Who is that, a director?"
Surprised that he was asking her, Shuman immediately responded with excitement, "That’s Director Wei Cheng, he’s won several awards for past works. He’s recently preparing a new blockbuster... Big Brother Gu, are you interested in investing?"
"Somewhat interested."
Shuman’s face lit up with a smile, "Then I’ll go over for a bit, you wait for me."
It was not easy for her to find this opportunity. Gu Annan was interested in investing in a movie, but this director probably never imagined such good fortune would come his way, daring not to approach him on his own.
Shuman felt that, given Gu Annan’s status, he certainly didn’t need to take the initiative to seek out such minor figures. If she could handle this, it would also be doing him a favor.
As Director Wei approached her again, Lu Wanwan stepped back once more, inadvertently spilling a bit of her wine.
