Could it be that Miss Ruan, who was supposed to meet with President Pang, has already left ahead of schedule?

How dare they leave without waiting for President Pang?

President Pang's face turned ashen: "How dare they stand me up! This is outrageous!"

The assistant tentatively asked, "Mr. Pang, should I make a call and ask?" He had the number; Mr. Pang had called several times since he hadn't shown up for the appointment.

General Manager Pang's face turned ashen: "They think they're some bunch of bumpkins who deserve my call? Impossible!"

The assistant hesitated and said, "But we haven't been open for business for a long time."

This planet is remote, technologically backward, and severely lacks talent, so there are practically no people who know how to make films.

The last time we hired actors for a shoot was a year ago!

Pang You certainly hoped there would be no business so he wouldn't have to go to work, but as an office worker, he had to achieve something.

He hadn't had any results for a year, and he was waiting for this one.

Thinking of this, Pang You suppressed his anger and squeezed out each word carefully: "Go contact them."

The assistant contacted Ruan Mianmian and said that Pang You had something to do and couldn't make it in time, but he had already arrived and asked Ruan Mianmian when she would arrive.

Ruan Mianmian had no intention of going back to an old flame, so she said she had something to do today and would cooperate again in the future if there was an opportunity.

This is similar to how people in Guangdong say "Let's have dinner together when we're free"—they basically don't actually make plans to meet up when they're free.

The assistant, who was used to dealing with people who were angered by Pang You, knew immediately that Ruan Mianmian was unhappy. He apologized repeatedly and said that it was not intentional and asked Ruan Mianmian to be lenient.

Ruan Mianmian finally relented when she thought of her grand plan to make money by filming a TV series, and brought Gu Shi back to the appointment.

When Pang You heard his assistant humbly apologizing and offering to bring Ruan Mianmian back, he felt his face burning with shame, as if he had completely lost face.

After his assistant hung up the phone, he kicked him: "I asked you to make a phone call, and you're begging and apologizing to me? Your knees are so weak, no wonder you're a piece of trash with octopus genes!"

The assistant was both angry and resentful, but dared not retort. He could only smile and explain, "Normally, I would definitely ignore them. But we're doing this for our business this year."

Pang You was still angry, but thinking that the assistant was still useful, he didn't beat or scold him anymore. He just secretly made a grudge against Ruan Mianmian, thinking that after the contract was signed, he would recommend those unprofessional and arrogant actors to play the roles and ruin Ruan Mianmian's life.

A short while later, Ruan Mianmian and Gu Shi arrived.

Even though Pang You hated Ruan Mianmian to the extreme, when he saw her, he was so stunned that he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

It wasn't until Ruan Mianmian coughed to remind him that he snapped out of his reverie and immediately said, "I never imagined that there could be such a beauty as Miss Ruan in the world. Originally, I was worried that Miss Ruan might not do well in her first time acting, but after seeing Miss Ruan's beauty, I can finally relax. Miss Ruan is so beautiful, this film is sure to be a huge hit!"

Ruan Mianmian forced a smile: "Mr. Pang, you flatter me." Then she steered the conversation back to the main topic, "I'd like to see the quotes for actors of different levels first, is that convenient?"

“Of course it’s convenient.” Pang You immediately sent Ruan Mianmian the participation fees for various actors.

Ruan Mianmian projected the image into the air so that she could view it herself.

Upon seeing this, he frowned.

As expected of the entertainment industry, actors of all types are very expensive!

What's even more outrageous is that if an actor's home is too far away during filming, their price will increase accordingly!

For example, if you hire actors from your own planet for filming, a Class C actor can earn 6 million cosmic coins per film due to the proximity. However, if you hire Class C actors from other star systems, the price would be between 6 million and 10 million.

Upon seeing the price suffix, Ruan Mianmian lost all interest in looking at it and immediately turned her gaze away from the actors who charged different prices based on distance and level.

Let's just use AI.

Ruan Mianmian looked at Pang You: "Mr. Pang, these actors are too expensive for me. We can work together again in the future if we have the chance." This was still a cliché, basically meaning that they would never work together again.

When Pang You heard that Ruan Mianmian did not intend to cooperate, the smile on his face vanished instantly.

However, as his eyes swept over Ruan Mianmian's face, he smiled again: "Miss Ruan, do you think it's too expensive? Famous actors are generally very expensive. If Miss Ruan wants something cheaper, I can also introduce students who haven't officially debuted yet to act in it."

Ruan Mianmian became interested: "I wonder who the participants are, and how much they are paid?" After asking, fearing that Pang You would quote a price that she, a poor person, could not afford, she asked directly, "Are there any salaries of two thousand cosmic coins per month?"

Pang You was shocked by the low price. He looked at Ruan Mianmian in disbelief: "Two thousand a month?"

Ruan Mianmian wasn't embarrassed at all: "That's right, a monthly salary of two thousand." This was already a great show of sincerity; she needed to let Pang You on the other end know that she was genuinely interested and not joking. She continued...

“We have a great script that’s guaranteed to be a hit. And we’re offering the male lead role. Students who are still in school would fight tooth and nail for this role. Now I don’t have to make them fight over it. I’m giving them this great role directly, giving them the chance to become famous. How could they complain about the low pay?”

Pang You suddenly realized that he wasn't really shameless; the fair-skinned, delicate beauty opposite him was the one who was truly shameless.

It's hilarious that a native from a lower planet dares to say her show is guaranteed to be a hit.

Do you know how turbulent the entertainment industry is right now?

Every month, hundreds of films and television dramas are released, each trying its best to innovate in terms of technology or subject matter, hoping to become a hit.

However, there hasn't been a blockbuster drama across the entire galaxy for two whole years!

What makes this little girl so special?

Pang You smiled and said, "All the actors here are registered. If you want to find students, then I'll have to collect more information. However, this isn't really my job, but I'm happy to make the trip. Won't Miss Ruan repay me in some way?"

Ruan Mianmian didn't want to eat with this pig, so she said, "I'll definitely thank you later."

Pang You stared at Ruan Mianmian with his green eyes: "No need for a thank-you gift. I don't have a girlfriend yet. If Miss Ruan is willing to be my girlfriend, I'll cover all the actors in the crew."

There are others in the industry who have established themselves based on their looks, but upon closer inspection, none of them can compare to the beauty in front of us.

These are natives from a lower-class planet, who know nothing and are someone he can covet, so naturally he can't resist.

So at this moment, without even a roundabout way, he directly stated his conditions.

Ruan Mianmian stared incredulously at Pang You's greasy, pig-like face, and said, holding back her anger, "Sorry, I won't be your girlfriend."

“Why not? You come from a lower planet with no power behind you, while I am a member of the great Federation and I own three houses.” Pang You said, becoming more and more confident as he talked about their conditions. “If you are afraid that you are not good enough for me, I can tell you that it is not a problem. I allow you to look up to me.”
