After breaking off the engagement, she became the CEO's favorite

Xia Tianxin immediately denied it.

"I don't!"

Lu Ranran continued:

"If you don't approve of the heroine from the bottom of your heart——"

"I just don't agree!" Xia Tianxin stood still, looking arrogant and stubborn.

“But she’s the heroine.”

Xia Tianxin sneered, thinking that Lu Ranran's determination was ridiculous.

"Don't fool yourself."

As she spoke, she revealed an expression of sudden enlightenment and her laughter was sharp and piercing.

"Oh, I see. When you write a character like this, you are actually putting yourself in the role, right?"

"Write a fat, stupid scholar who can win the love of the male protagonist."

"This will satisfy your emptiness in reality, right?"

Xia Tianxin thought that she could anger Lu Ranran in this way.

Because this would prove that what she said was correct.

How can a fat, stupid and ignorant person be the protagonist? Which man would like a girl like this?

But Lu Ranran's expression did not show any ripples.

She shrugged nonchalantly, her tone somewhat curious.

"Xia Tianxin, you always compare like this, what's the benefit?"

"?" Xia Tianxin was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Lu Ranran was asking.

"In the acting industry, appearance should be very important. But in other industries, is face important?"

"..."

Lu Ranran seemed to be extremely tired and stretched lazily.

"Also, I don't deny that the heroine's behavior might have been a little stupid at first."

"But why is it impossible for a person who is looked down upon by you from a high position to be happy?"

"You may be prettier and better than her, but that doesn't mean she doesn't have the right to live."

Xia Tianxin was dissatisfied, but couldn't find any words to refute, and her face turned red with anger.

Chang Hong took the opportunity to smooth things over.

"Okay, okay, let's not argue about the protagonist and theme anymore. This is our consensus in choosing to start this project."

"Tianxin, you are very suitable for the role of the second female lead, and this is not just a compliment."

"If possible, we still hope that you can play the second female role. I hope you will consider it carefully, okay?"

Xia Tianxin knew that she couldn't refute it, so she just said "naive" and left angrily.

This put an end to the torturous and long casting process.

On that day, Chang Hong came to Lu Ranran privately to tell her about Xia Tianxin's background and asked Lu Ranran not to mind it.

At the same time, Lu Ranran was also given a shot of prevention.

"She has some connections with the higher-ups, so it's not good to make things too ugly."

"She has some requests. If they are harmless, try to do as she says."

Lu Ranran nodded without saying anything more.

To get things done, all necessary compromises must be made.

The application for filming permit for "Reborn" has been submitted, the casting is basically completed, and the coordinator has also confirmed the filming schedule.

Everything is progressing in an orderly manner. As soon as the filming permission is granted, everyone will rush forward with all their might.

During this period, Chu Yue's big production was promoted vigorously, temporarily named "Another Life".

Leaks of casting and makeup came one after another.

Needless to say, Yang Nian’s status is very high. Both the male and female protagonists are currently big-name stars. When the news was announced, there was a big carnival among fans, who congratulated their idol for finally being recognized by the industry for his hidden strength.

In comparison, Lu Keke, who is listed as the screenwriter, pales in comparison.

However, since someone pointed this out, the news that Lu Keke won the New Screenwriter Award at the South City Micro Film Festival was immediately dug out.

The publicity of the series has been further boosted.

In comparison, "Reborn" is much more low-key.

It was even revealed that the actors who played the second male and female roles were originally only supporting roles in third-rate web dramas.

In terms of status, it is automatically one level lower than "Another Life".

Chang Hong explained this as follows:

“Just choose the right one, not the expensive one.”

Some people ridiculed her for being sour, while others thought she was right.

However, these are not the most important.

The progress of "Another Life" is almost parallel to that of "Reborn".

But soon, they entered the shooting stage.

However, "Reborn" is still waiting for the issuance of the license.

The normal time is 20 days to one month, but if it is postponed due to various reasons, it may take at most two months to get approval.

But this time, "Reborn" waited for three months but received no response.

At first, Chang Hong and Lu Ranran both thought that there was something wrong with the materials.

The official reply I got from the person who asked was: We are in the queue, please wait patiently for the review.

Chang Hong knew it was an excuse, but she couldn't say anything more.

The casting was completed in March, but the waiting for approval was delayed until June.

If this continues, not only will the crew be wasting time, but the actors' schedules will also be difficult to coordinate.

The male protagonist Zhou Yan was in a very difficult situation.

"Sister Hong, if you delay any further, it will affect my next play."

The second male lead, Wang Yue, even received an invitation from "Another Life", saying that they had added a new third male lead, and his temperament and type were very suitable for him.

Wang Yue did not show any signs of it, but his agent had already begun to challenge him openly.

"If you can't shoot, just disband early. What's the point of wasting time here?"

“Although we are newcomers, we are not short of resources.”

Zhao Feifei’s fans were even more dissatisfied.

Someone got Chang Hong's cell phone number from somewhere and bombarded her with calls every day, asking her to pay attention to Zhao Feifei's development.

Chang Hong tried to comfort him in many ways and also asked people he knew.

After all this back and forth, even though she was almost having a nervous breakdown, she still didn't know what the problem was.

In fact, she and Lu Ranran both knew that the solution was very simple.

That is to let Xia Tianxin clear up the connection.

But the problem is that Xia Tianxin's conditions are unacceptable.

"My request is very simple, just to change the script and let me be the heroine."

"I don't want this stupid and fat one. Change it to the kind that is cool and beautiful, but beautiful without knowing it."

Chang Hong looked at Lu Ranran helplessly, and Lu Ranran didn't know what to say.

Xia Tianxin looked at her manicure for a while, but without getting the response she wanted, she sneered.

"Isn't it very hard-mouthed?"

"Since you insist on persisting to the end, don't blame reality for teaching you a lesson."

"Ideal and reality, which one do you choose?"

After leaving Xia Tianxin, Chang Hong apologized to Lu Ranran, and the frustration in his words was hard to conceal.

"I thought that with the investment, I would be able to fight Chu Yue."

"Now I know that the reason why everything went smoothly before was because Chu Yue was letting me go."

"This time we lost to the local tyrant..."

Chu Yue sent Xia Tianxin to Chang Hong, which not only served as a favor to them, but also helped them by using her connections to block them.

Now, to get permission, you have to ask Xia Tianxin.

But if the script is changed, there is no point in continuing this project...

Lu Ranran also fell into deep thought.

It's impossible to ask Chu Yue for help.

Is there any other way to bypass Xia Tianxin?
