Vast Entertainment, resting room.
Mu Ziwei, now in more casual attire, sat on the sofa, with a thick stack of scripts in her hands, her brows furrowed.
"This role is a bit unlikeable, and it’s also a Female Lead No.2. I don’t like it," she said.
Her agent, Wang Zheng, sat opposite her, chatting with a new media professional they had worked with many times. After sending a "confirmed" message, he looked up upon hearing her words. His gaze slid over the title "Corridor Pavilion" on the cover page of the script, then he looked down again, hiding the deeper motives in his eyes.
"At this time, the team has only sent us this role for the screen test. If it’s not to your liking..." he paused, "then we might have to wait for other roles."
"Wait?" Ziwei said, with a flash of dissatisfaction in her eyes, clearly very unsatisfied with this answer.
"With my current popularity, do I still need to wait for a role?" she questioned.
Wang Zheng hesitated a moment, then raised his head to look at her. "Your popularity? If you mean today’s headline generated by the company’s marketing... you should know that in ’Hurricane Goddess,’ your screen time won’t exceed five minutes."
"But I am still the first actress from our country!" she retorted.
"If it wasn’t for the fact that America wants to tap into the Chinese market, and they want to attract an audience to the cinemas using your pull, they wouldn’t even consider using a domestic star," he replied bluntly, tearing away the last veil of illusion.
This infuriated Mu Ziwei, and thinking of the leverage he still held over her, she was even more angry but suppressed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
"What have you been busy with? I’ve seen you sending messages on your phone ever since you came back," she changed the topic.
"Nothing much, just some matters... It’s time for a reckoning," Wang Zheng responded. Having sent his message, he put his phone away, intending to pacify his artist.
Mu Ziwei, seeing him so satisfied, sat up straight, ready to discuss the script in earnest.
