Jiang Yiniing’s intentions, Tang Li knows without guessing.
Just like how Jiang Yiniing previously schemed to snatch Yu Sui’s role in the musical, in Jiang Yiniing’s eyes, she believes she is no worse than anyone else. If someone like Tang Li can act in a TV drama, why can’t she?
Now, if Tang Li tells her what her next role is, Jiang Yiniing may very well run off to the film company requesting an audition.
Jiang Yiniing’s appearance is not bad; she can take the innocent route, which would be very popular in the entertainment industry, plus she’s somewhat scheming, and might indeed prosper like a fish in water.
In her previous life, Jiang Yiniing didn’t enter the entertainment industry, which was somewhat surprising to Tang Li.
The current Jiang Yiniing obviously yearns to be a star.
"Ah Li, you’re in your second year now, classes are still quite important." Seeing that Tang Li was ignoring her, Jiang Yiniing added, "At the Capital Movie Academy, many students in their second and third years go out to shoot films, but in the end, they fail the university exams, some are even advised to drop out."
Wu Xuehan had already spoken, "Ah Li has communicated with both the faculty and the dean, and they all support her decision. After filming, Ah Li always studies, and she can just review for a week during finals, passing the exams won’t be a problem!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yiniing smiled tightly, "That’s true, actually, many teachers just teach by the book, and everything they say can be found in the textbooks. With Ah Li’s intelligence, she could totally self-study."
This statement, once spread, would label Tang Li as unappreciative and disrespectful.
Even though she never said that herself.
Tang Li looked up at Jiang Yiniing with a smirk yet not a smirk, "Last time, you helped the third-year student with linear algebra, it was the teacher who helped you reserve the classroom. Turning around and talking about the school teachers , isn’t that a bit inappropriate?"
"That’s not what I meant, Ah Li, you misunderstood me."
Jiang Yiniing slightly twisted her lips, explaining, "I just see you acting so hard, I’m worried you can’t manage both sides, so that’s why I said that. I don’t want you to exhaust yourself running back and forth."
"Then I really should thank you." Tang Li slightly smiled, "Whether I can act in ’Martial God’ is still not finalized. If it doesn’t work out, I should be back in class after New Year’s."
"’Martial God’?" Jiang Yiniing inquired.
Tang Li nodded, while picking up food to her plate she said, "Fenghua Media’s big annual IP, Zhou Yao plays the male lead."
Zhou Yao, a current popular movie star!
Under the table, Jiang Yiniing’s clasped hands tightened. Zhou Yao had starred in a movie previously, and the female lead, a newcomer, became famous overnight after the movie’s release. If she had a chance to act with Zhou Yao, with her looks, her success wouldn’t be less than that new actress.
Jiang Yiniing stood up, "My friend is still waiting for me, I’ll go ahead."
After saying that, she didn’t stay any longer.
Just after she left, Yu Sui complained unhappily, "Why did you tell her? Now that she knows you’re filming ’Martial God’, who knows what tricks she might pull."
"Ah Li said it’s not finalized yet," said Wu Xuehan.
Jiang Yiniing returned to her chosen table, and glanced back at Tang Li’s group. Since the lead female role in ’Martial God’ wasn’t finalized yet, if she managed to secure it, it would be a fair competition, not cutting in line!
After Jiang Yiniing had walked away, Wu Xuehan sat close to Tang Li and asked, "Ah Li, do you really have a chance to star in ’Martial God’ with Zhou Yao?"
"I want to, but he probably wouldn’t fancy me," Tang Li placed her soup bowl over her plate, "For a movie star like him to do a TV drama is already lowering his status, he definitely wouldn’t agree to have a newcomer as his co-star."
Yu Sui asked, "Then why did you just..."
"Give her something to do."
