I'm Pregnant with the Villain's Child

Chapter 220 – You want to invite me to be the male lead in this movie? (2)

At present, the main demographic for the movie market was young to middle-aged workers. people. People of this age group weren’t that picky. As long as the plot was interesting enough, the pace wasn’t draggy, and the actors and actresses had good acting skills, the box office wouldn’t do badly.

Ye Zhen might not be able to get all of the actors and actresses that Ning Yang had found in the original novel, but there were countless capable actors and actresses in the entertainment industry. So, there was no way she would have a problem filling out the cast for the movie.

Ye Zhen wasn’t going to contact those actors and actresses herself. She planned on assigning Qin Zhiyin this task.

As soon as Ye Zhen thought of Qin Zhiyin, she didn’t have a clear conscience. In the novel, Qin Zhiyin had been Lin Zhan’s valuable assistant. It was truly unkind of her to sneakily poach Qin Zhiyin from him. She had read about Qin Zhiyin’s skills. There was no industry that Qin Zhiyin couldn’t handle when it came to dealing with PR crises, and she was especially adept with handling the entertainment industry.

Ye Zhen was currently sitting across from Qin Zhiyin. Smiling, she asked, “Miss Qin, I heard that you have experience working as a star’s agent?”

That experience had only lasted a year. It ended because the star, who she had helped to debut, dismissed her in favor of a famous agent. It was also because of that one year’s experience that Qin Zhiyin had seen enough of the entertainment circle’s various rules and was determined to not have direct contact with people from that industry. She shifted to going behind the scenes to handle various PR crises.

“I have a year’s worth of experience.”

“You know that the company is investing in a movie. There are some things where it would be inconvenient for me to appear personally, but I don’t feel at ease leaving it to someone I don’t know either. So, I have something I need your help with.”

“Mrs. Lu, feel free to say it. I’ll do it as long as it’s something I can do.”

Ye Zhen took out a piece of paper and placed it in front of Qin Zhiyin. There were about ten names written from top to bottom.

“These people all have excellent acting skills. Although they might be soured by disappointment, their skills shouldn’t be underestimated. I would like you to contact these people and send them our movie script. Be sure to ask them to consider participating in the filming of the movie.”

As Ye Zhen was saying these words, Qin Zhiyin quickly skimmed through the list. Ye Zhen hadn’t spoken wrongly. From what she remembered, most of these people weren’t famous and were struggling to make a living by playing the role of supporting characters as seven or eight line actors and actresses. But as for whether or not their acting was excellent...

“Mrs. Lu, are you sure these people have excellent acting skills?” Qin Zhiyin was skeptical.

Ye Zhen: “You’ll know after contacting them. However, before things are settled, don’t let too many people know. Don’t let anyone know I’m the producer of this movie either.”

“Why?”

Ye Zhen thought over her answer. “You’ll know in the future.” She knew that people in high positions were more liable to be attacked and that it was inevitable that people would question her series of actions. Lu Beichuan trusted her, but as for other people...

Qin Zhiyin nodded and set off to do this task.

These were just seventh-line and eight-line actors and actresses. It didn’t take Qin Zhiyin too much effort to finalize contracts with most of them. It was only the actor that Ye Zhen chose for the male lead part that was more difficult.

After all, there was a tide of foul criticism online about this chosen male lead. For example, that he was unfaithful and a violent drunk. If Qin Zhiyin didn’t know the underlying rules in the entertainment circle, she might have believed those false rumors.

The chosen male lead’s name was Guan Ming. He had regular features. At first look, he wasn’t some unforgettable handsome guy. But if you took a careful look, he had looks that could withstand scrutiny. He had been acting for ten years and hadn’t hit fame yet. He seemed to have offended someone recently. His reputation had been completely tarnished by these false rumors, and his agency could only stop all of his jobs. He was currently at home, doing nothing.

Qin Zhiyin contacted his agency. His agency had no clue how to resolve his problem. Other than issuing clarifying statements, they had done nothing. When the company learned why Qin Zhiyin had contacted them, they immediately contacted Guan Ming and told him to come to the office. After all, Qin Zhiyin was offering a heavy remuneration.
