Many popular actresses, even those at the level of movie queens, reached out to Qin Jiran through various channels. Some even hinted at something more, and when it came to Su Yanyi’s existence, when it should have been disregarded, who would acknowledge it?
On several occasions when Su Yanyi and Qin Jiran were dining together, Qin Jiran would receive calls, but he seldom answered them.
"The leading lady hasn’t been decided yet?" With Kang Zhong acting as a double agent, the two had a fair understanding of each other’s affairs.
"The leading lady is an undercover agent, a role with many internal conflicts; not just any actress is suitable. It’s really difficult to find the right one." Qin Jiran was also worried about this matter. He was not very familiar with actresses in the industry, and there wasn’t a suitable one from Guo Kaize’s side. Either they were suitable but had no time, or one might say that both of them had high standards, and they hadn’t had any success even after several days of searching.
Having heard this, Su Yanyi suddenly thought of something. She had been working hard to complete the tasks given by the System and had already accumulated eight points. However, apart from the script provided by the System, she had not utilized any other function, especially the last "Special Assistance Function." She wondered if it could help find the right person.
[Zero Zero One, can the Special Assistance Function help to find someone? Qin Jiran’s movie lacks a suitable leading lady.] In truth, with Su Yanyi’s influence, finding a suitable leading lady was easy, but she was simply interested in experimenting with the System’s capabilities.
[Of course, dear owner, as long as you confirm the use of today’s special capability, the System can start the search for you right now.]
[I confirm.]
[Searching, please wait...] This time, it switched to the System’s impersonal voice.
Soon, three names appeared in front of Su Yanyi.
[Suitable candidates include Zhao Mengying, Mo Qianqian, and Fan Linger.]
Yanyi was familiar with these three, and upon recalling her knowledge of them, she found they were indeed very suitable. She then turned to Qin Jiran and said, "Zhao Mengying, Mo Qianqian, Fan Linger, choose whichever is suitable and contact her."
All three actresses were at the level of movie queens, with good images, temperaments, acting skills, and characters. Su Yanyi didn’t have a preference herself, so she let Qin Jiran make the choice.
"Fan Linger is a good fit, great acting skills, and she’s from our company. Guo Zekai approached her a few days ago, but she had just taken on a film and couldn’t get away." Although all three candidates were great, especially Fan Linger from their own company, the issue was her schedule. As for the other two, although not much different from Fan Linger, Qin Jiran still preferred to use an actress from their own company, especially since their own was the most suitable.
[Does Fan Linger have a schedule? I need the most suitable one who is available. If she’s not available despite being the most suitable, is this considered a flaw in the System?] Su Yanyi went straight to the System with her question.
[Owner, this is not a flaw in the System. Fan Linger didn’t have a schedule the other day, but if you ask today, maybe she will.] Zero Zero One winked, speaking in a somewhat playful tone.
Immediately grasping Zero Zero One’s implication, Yanyi said to Jiran, "Try asking her again, maybe she’s free now."
"Okay, I’ll give it a shot." Qin Jiran didn’t want to give up on the ideal candidate, and upon hearing Su Yanyi’s suggestion, he promptly made the call.
The call lasted only five minutes before Qin Jiran turned to Su Yanyi with a mix of joy and surprise, "Fan Linger’s new movie has been temporarily suspended due to funding issues, and she has agreed to shoot ’Power Struggle’ first."
"Then make sure to focus on filming. If any issues arise, come to me."
