Chapter 5
How Will This Reunion Turn Out?
Lu Jue had only been established for six years. Initially, it was just a small management company specializing in working with minor starlets or nameless models. It wasn't until four years ago, when Dong Gang took a gamble by signing Xiao Fan, a recent graduate from the Film Academy, and cast her as the lead in a small film, that everything changed.
Unexpectedly, the film was a massive success, earning over three hundred million at the box office, and Xiao Fan won the Best Actress award at the Jin Hua Film Festival, becoming the youngest Film Queen in history.
This brought Lu Jue to the attention of Yong Tai, but Yong Tai required that Xiao Fan's management contract be transferred to them. As a businessman, Dong Gang understood he didn't have the capability to keep Xiao Fan, so he agreed and received fifteen million in investment, making Lu Jue famous overnight.
It was because of that success that Lin Jian Guo and Huo Jia decided to let Lin Xiao Xiao sign with Lu Jue.
Currently, the company lacked the ability to access high-end resources from international cinema, so Song Cheng Ling secretly wondered how Dong Gang intended to compete.
Dong Gang immediately proposed a plan: "Pei Qin Hu said that Yong Tai is the largest investor, and they are also our major shareholders. We will push from there!"
However, Lin Xiao Xiao wasn't very keen on fighting for a bigger role because she knew that this international film project was actually a failure. The script was poor, the acting was weak, and its reputation domestically was terrible. Despite an investment of tens of millions, the box office only reached a few million.
In her previous life, Dong Gang and Song Cheng Ling had to drink until they suffered gastric bleeding just to secure the seventh female lead role for her, but she felt it was unnecessary. Right now, she only wanted to participate in this project for the chance to meet Chen Zheng.
Therefore, she advised Dong Gang:
"President Dong, I am already very grateful that Pei Qin Hu gave me this opportunity. I think with my current ability, securing this chance is already very good. If there are more scenes, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it."
Dong Gang and Song Cheng Ling: "..."
They didn't expect anyone in the entertainment industry to turn down such an opportunity, leaving them both annoyed and disappointed.
Despite Lin Xiao Xiao's refusal, Dong Gang and Song Cheng Ling still tried to reach out to the people at Yong Tai to push for more for her. The final result was the same as in her previous life: Lin Xiao Xiao was cast as the seventh female lead in the project.
From the moment the contract was confirmed, Lin Xiao Xiao began counting down the days on her calendar.
Lin Jian Guo and Huo Jia even joked that she looked like she was waiting for a massive project, but only Lin Xiao Xiao knew that she was anticipating every second to reunite with the man she had missed for two lifetimes.
