Besides, Zhang Le Yi has another fatal flaw!
Her emotional intelligence is too low!
As her manager, whether straightforward or through hints, I have to try to make her aware of it.
If she can notice her potential issues and be more cautious in speaking and acting, it’s less likely for her to be caught making news.
Half an hour passed before Jian Liangtong and Zhang Le Yi t with Director Tan.
Having displeased Jian Liangtong earlier, Zhang Le Yi corrected her attitude and was very well-behaved and polite throughout.
With her sweet appearance and seemingly genuine deanor, she at least seed sincere.
Although she didn’t get the role of the second female lead in the end, Director Tan did offer her the pleasing role of the third female lead.
After saying goodbye to the director.
Walking through the film base, Zhang Le Yi seed very excited, "Sister Tong, the third female lead is the protagonist’s best friend, with a role no less than the second female lead. Compared to the antagonist’s second lead, I think the third lead standing with the protagonist will be more liked by the audience. Besides, the director also ntioned that the third female lead has a dramatic romance in the play."
Jian Liangtong listened with a smile, without replying.
It was clear that Director Tan had a good first impression of Zhang Le Yi.
In just a short interaction, he gave her the role of the third female lead.
She’s almost certain.
If the collaboration goes smoothly.
There will be more and more opportunities for Zhang Le Yi to work with Director Tan.
What Jian Liangtong didn’t expect was that Director Tan had a good friendship with Director Chen Zhenglin...
Right after Jian Liangtong took Zhang Le Yi out of the room, Director Tan called Director Chen Zhenglin to highly recomnd Zhang Le Yi.
And less than three days later, Jian Liangtong received a call from Director Chen Zhenglin’s assistant, scheduling a eting with her and Zhang Le Yi.
Director Chen Zhenglin has his own studio.
And the eting place for Jian Liangtong and Zhang Le Yi was within his studio.
Director Chen’s private office.
Chen Zhenglin, in his early forties, bald, with a sturdy build, wore black-rimd glasses. He didn’t look scholarly, but rather had a bit of a Mongolian strongman vibe.
"Miss Jian, Miss Zhang, please sit." Chen Zhenglin said.
Jian Liangtong and Zhang Le Yi sat on the two chairs in front of his desk.
"Director Chen, I’ve heard so much about you." Jian Liangtong said gracefully.
"You’re too kind."
Chen Zhenglin squinted his eyes, scrutinizing Jian Liangtong for a mont, then said, "I didn’t realize the entertainnt industry has such a beautiful manager like Miss Jian."
"With all the beauties Director Chen must have seen, soone like in the entertainnt circle is probably as common as carp crossing the river, scraping by with barely a passable innocent look." Jian Liangtong said with a smile.
Chen Zhenglin chuckled, "Miss Jian, there’s no need for modesty."
As he spoke, Chen Zhenglin slowly looked at Zhang Le Yi, who sat upright beside Jian Liangtong, with a shrewd glint in his eyes, "Tan Xu called just a few days ago to highly recomnd Miss Zhang here, praising her as a future star in the entertainnt circle, and insisted that I must et her in person."
Zhang Le Yi’s face instantly turned red, but she grew more nervous, glanced at Jian Liangtong, then looked at Chen Zhenglin and softly said, "That’s Director Tan’s overpraise."
Chen Zhenglin said nothing, looking at Jian Liangtong and asked, "I wonder if Miss Jian has any interest in being an actress?"
Jian Liangtong, "..."
Zhang Le Yi, "..."
Zhang Le Yi’s face suddenly twitched, staring at Jian Liangtong with wide eyes, her emotions complex.
After a slight pause, Jian Liangtong smiled and said, "Does Director Chen think I have the talent to be an actress?"
"Give it a try." Chen Zhenglin clasped his hands on his lap, leaned back in his executive chair, and looked at Jian Liangtong with a curve to his lips, "Miss Jian is so beautiful, it would be a pity not to be an actress."
"If I had t Director Chen a few years earlier and heard you say such words, I might have been tempted to beco an actress." Jian Liangtong said with a smile.
Chen Zhenglin raised an eyebrow, aware that Jian Liangtong was tactfully telling him she had no intention of becoming an actress.
He then changed the subject, "Miss Zhang has formal training, so her foundations should be good. Although her looks aren’t stunning, she is pretty."
Zhang Le Yi, suddenly nad, was montarily startled and looked at Chen Zhenglin.
Chen Zhenglin stared at her with eyes as sharp as a piercing sword, striking directly at a person’s weak spots.
Zhang Le Yi hastily shifted her gaze, lowering her head.
Jian Liangtong lowered her long lashes, smiled, and said, "Le Yi, quickly thank Director Chen."
A flash of surprise darted across Chen Zhenglin’s eyes as he lightly raised an eyebrow, looking at Jian Liangtong.
Jian Liangtong beamingly looked at Chen Zhenglin, "As expected of Director Chen, with sharp vision, imdiately seeing that Le Yi has a good foundation. Not to boast, but although Le Yi’s appearance is delicate, she has a good aura and can handle various roles with ease. If Director Chen doesn’t believe it, how about giving Le Yi an impromptu scene to act out?"
