Linghua nodded quickly, "Yes, that's her! I heard that she has a lot of international resources behind her, and she got the role by exchanging with our CEO Yuan."

Thinking of her, Tang Xiaoyu, and Qin Ming's suspicions, Liu Meilan didn't dare to be careless. "Have you signed the contract?"

Linghua shook her head. "We haven't signed the contract yet! Because this is a custom drama, sponsored by Dafu Jewelry, and it tells the story of Dafu Jewelry's ancestors. Whether it's the script or the characters, they all need to be approved by Dafu Jewelry."

Hearing this, Liu Meilan took out her phone and called Wang Lemei, "Lemei, please ask, has the female lead for the TV series being filmed by the entertainment company been decided yet?"

Wang Lemei was reviewing relevant documents in her office. "The entertainment company just sent over the information. I saw the makeup photos of the female lead, and they look great."

Liu Meilan thought for a moment, then replied, "If it's the Chinese actress An Qi, please change her!"

"Ah?" Wang Lemei was surprised. "Can you tell me the reason?"

Liu Meilan pondered for a moment, "Due to the principle of confidentiality, I can't tell you that this person cannot be used!"

Wang Lemei was stunned, then chose to trust Liu Meilan's judgment. "Okay, I'll notify the entertainment company and ask them to replace the actors! As for the reason, just say this is a Chinese story, and try to use domestic actors!"

Liu Meilan nodded and smiled, "That's a good reason!"

After her cousin hung up, Linghua couldn't help but ask, "That Chinese actress has appeared in many movies. Although they were all supporting roles, they were also very good. After all, it's very difficult for us to go international!"

"She came to China to develop her career, and she has the support of many major brands. Look at her TV commercials now, many big brands have asked her to be their spokesperson, and she is very well-known in China. She is also very beautiful. Although she grew up overseas as an ethnic Chinese, she speaks Chinese very well. If you didn't know her background, you would think she grew up in China."

Liu Meilan raised her eyebrows slightly. "Since it's a secret, I can't tell you! You'll know later that this person isn't suitable. Tell others that this is a TV series that reflects Chinese culture and has very profound cultural connotations."

"Both the director and the screenwriter carefully considered the choice of roles. In order to better present the story, the actors were selected after comprehensive consideration."

Seeing her cousin say this, Linghua stopped asking and said, "My cousin always has reasons for what she does. I believe her."

After Wang Lemei received Liu Meilan's call, she called Mr. Ruan from the entertainment company and said, "Let's use the original actress. Don't use a Chinese American!"

Mr. Ruan was slightly stunned when he heard this. "Why? You know, Anqi's fame may be able to promote the Dafu Jewelry brand internationally."

Wang Lemei wanted to agree to it for this reason. But now Liu Meilan called her to tell her that it was not possible. Wang Lemei believed Liu Meilan, so she agreed to replace An Qi.

"Dafu Jewelry is currently based in China. Once we have a firm foothold in the domestic market, we will be inclined to explore overseas markets. Therefore, we do not need Angel to help us promote Dafu Jewelry internationally."

"Also, I don't think Anqi's overseas positioning can improve our Dafu Jewelry. After all, in the movies she starred in abroad, she only played supporting roles, and sometimes even played the clown."

"Finally, we found a professional to research her and found that her temperament was different from what we imagined. After comprehensive consideration, I think the previous actress is still better."

After listening to this, Mr. Ruan pondered for a moment and asked, "Is there no room for negotiation?"

Wang Lemei nodded, "No! Let's do it this way!"

"Okay!" Mr. Ruan agreed. This was not a self-produced drama of their company, but it was paid for by Dafu Jewelry. Whether it was the script or the props, many of them were provided by Dafu Jewelry, so of course they had to listen to the sponsor.

After hanging up the phone, Mr. Ruan informed Ms. Li from Xingyao Company that he had rejected the cooperation.

Sister Li frowned. "Boss Ruan, we had a very good discussion before, and we also had a consensus on the terms of the exchange. Why has there been such a big change in just one day?"

Mr. Ruan was also very sorry, but there was nothing he could do about it as the sponsor did not agree.

"Although this TV series was produced by our company, we are only the producer and the investor is Dafu Jewelry. After comprehensive consideration, the other party felt that someone else was more suitable. Sorry, we can't cooperate this time."

Sister Li was puzzled. "Our Anqi is clearly a good fit. We have international influence. Doesn't Dafu Jewelry want to go international?"

Mr. Ruan also said at the time that Dafu Jewelry had its own growth and marketing plan and he could not interfere. "Now they want to take a steady step in the domestic market. I'm sorry, but I look forward to our next cooperation."

After hanging up the phone, Ms. Ruan thought the matter was over. But things often don't turn out the way she imagined.

When An Qi learned that Mr. Ruan and Dafu Jewelry had rejected her participation, she was very upset. "Isn't it just a crappy jewelry company? They can only make a living in China, but they are nothing internationally. I don't want to work closely with such a brand. Sister Li, please stop working. Instead of trying to get me these unknown TV series, I should try to work with big directors."

Sister Li frowned. The order from her superiors asked her to take Angie to establish a foothold in Shenzhen, then contact Hong Kong Island, use the huge market in the mainland to create a huge influence, and then influence the culture of China.

This show was a great start, but it was rejected. This is the second time!

Sister Li was not only anxious about being rejected, but also about the bad start. She even wondered if she had been exposed.

Li Anna raised her eyebrows, "Sister Li, what's wrong?"

"It's okay, I'm just a little worried." Sister Li replied, "You're going to participate in activities recently, so you must be careful not to reveal your identity."

Li Anna nodded. "Sister Li, I've received professional training and won't act on impulse like I did before. Since this play isn't suitable for me, I won't act."

Sister Li didn't agree immediately. "I'll think of a way."

When Li Anna attended the event, she did not wear jewelry from Dafu Jewelry, but instead changed to international brands.

A reporter asked: "Ms. Anqi, you always wore Dafu jewelry before, why don't you wear it today?"

Li Anna chuckled, "Although I'm not an international superstar, I'm also a well-known international star. I think these big brands are more suitable for my international image."

The reporter immediately found a loophole. "Are you saying that Dafu Jewelry is not well-known and lacks international recognition, and is not worthy of you?"

Li Anna smiled, shrugged, and showed a very international expression. "That's what you said, not me."

This sentence is the default in such circumstances.
