Chapter 103: New Film

But Lu Huanong looked quite well . Her body didn’t go out of shape even after childbirth . Instead it enriched her charm .

One thing though, her makeup was slightly heavier now . Who knew what she was trying to hide .

Yun Xiangxiang didn’t feel any animosity toward her . What should have ended had come to an end . She didn’t live another life just for the both of them .

But of course there was no affection for them . The staff backed off due to Wen Lan’s reprimand . Yun Xiangxiang acted like she didn’t know them . She only greeted them with a nod before marching to the lift .

Wen Lan’s group followed closely . Yun Xiangxiang pressed the twenty eighth floor; they went for the eighteenth floor .

“Hello, Yun Xiangxiang . I’m Bo Yan . I’m under Sister Lan now . You look prettier than you do in your films,” The new actor that signed with Wen Lan used this chance to introduce herself to Yun Xiangxiang .

“Hello, Yun Xiangxiang here,” She answered curtly . It was polite but distant .

Huan Yu Century Entertainment was a big company . The boundaries between actors belonging to different agents were made clear . There would be clashes when it came to resources . In this case, even though every agent in Huan Yu Century Entertainment looked up to He Wei and Xue Yu, Xue Yu had that capability . No one would dare to question them .

But Yun Xiangxiang was different . She was a newcomer . Even if it looked like everything was going well for her now, she still lacked experience . Anyone would think that she didn’t have the chips to play the game .

It was obvious just by looking at the staff down there who were afraid of Wen Lan, but crowded around Yun Xiangxiang . She still didn’t have any prestige in the company . Everyone also thought that she was young .

No matter what they had in mind, they wouldn’t mind approaching her .

But Bo Yan didn’t expect Yun Xiangxiang to turn a cold shoulder like that . She didn’t know what to say in this situation .

Trying to ingratiate herself with Yun Xiangxiang would be a slap in Wen Lan’s face . She could only give a polite smile awkwardly . It was fortunate that they reached the eighteenth floor quickly .

After they went out of the lift, Lu Huanong’s gentle, soothing voice rang out even before the door even closed completely, “Don’t feel upset . Even though both of you are newcomers, she is still someone who has a reputation and films . You’ll get better after this…”

“She…” Coco was infuriated when she heard that . Did their Xiangxiang offend that wench? She accused Yun Xiangxiang of looking down on Bo Yan in such a roundabout way .

The door closed at this moment and they went up . “Excellence usually bears the envy of mediocrity,” said Yun Xiangxiang .

“Pfft,” Coco couldn’t keep her laughter in when she heard those words .

Lu Huanong’s enmity was to be expected . Yun Xiangxiang entered Huan Yu Century Entertainment out of nowhere and became He Wei’s first actress just like that .

She had He Wei helping her the moment she entered the company . She took the spot of the global ambassador of the top brand, MonRoe . She already wasn’t a threat for Bo Yan who was a newcomer like her .

It was obvious that they weren’t on the same level . The resources they came into contact with would also be different .

But she was a great menace for the pretty female stars in Huan Yu Century Entertainment . Because they were on the same level .

Not to mention that Yun Xiangxiang was younger and luckier than them . It would make them feel even more unfair .

Naturally, they would not hope to see Yun Xiangxiang being popular and having a good image in the company .

“Please have a seat, Xiangxiang . Brother Wei is in a meeting now,” He Wei’s secretary, Xu Qin, poured a glass of warm water for her .

Xu Qin wasn’t exactly a beautiful woman, but she had great ability at work . She was thirty years old this year and was married .

Xu QIn was already taking a few scripts and placed them down in front of Yun Xiangxiang when she just sat down . “These are the scripts Brother Wei shortlisted . He said that you’ll choose it yourself . All of them will start filming this month . Most of it is because they lack a female protagonist for some reason . ”

‘For some reason’ meant that the female protagonist was already confirmed . They probably signed the contract too . That was why the team had already prepared everything else .

However, in some cases, the actress was unable to play the role later on because of accidents like getting wounded . Just like how Qin Yue lost out to Yang Qi in “Caring Love . ”

In other cases, the team dissolved the contract with the actress due to some damage to their image after getting embroiled in a scandal .

Some happened because of the terms in the contract . The actress would quit for reasons like being unable to accept the pay or some rules during filming .

Teams that suddenly changed the acting staff for their character; teams that suddenly lack a lead was commonplace .

He Wei had already shortlisted once . All the scripts that were sent here were the ones he personally thought well of . Yun Xiangxiang looked through two of them . They were quite decent .

All of them were film scripts . One of them was about the battle of wits and courage between a criminal and a criminal psychologist . Yun Xiangxiang took a liking to that .

But the one that attracted her the most was the one at the bottom: “The King’s Plan . ”

It was taken from real events in history that revolved around King Wen of Chu . It was an epic that centered on wars and acquiring of power led by males .

The screenwriter was a famous historical literary author who specialized in writing works about the Warring States: Xiong Ao .

Xiong Ao was true to his name . He was arrogant and picky [1] . He was so fussy during filming, he even requested the expression of every acting staff to be accurate during group scenes .

He would always appear in the news because of disputes between him and the director during filming . The producer would always be the mediator in the end .

But his works were true classics . Not only were they historically accurate; the protagonists were depicted in such a way that they looked magnificent, yet they lost nothing in perfection at the same time .

Like “The King’s Plan” in Yun Xiangxiang’s hand .

It was a story about King Wen of Chu immediately displaying his talents and great plans after he ascended the throne . The first thing he did was to relocate the capital despite strong objections from his ministers .

He did not allow a moment of rest after the capital’s relocation . He ordered his army to go on a crusade to take down the Shen Nation in the north .

King Wen of Chu was an ambitious man . The Shen Nation wasn’t the only thing in his plans . There was also the Zhen Nation standing between the Shen Nation and Chu Nation . He was determined to acquire the Zhen Nation in his hands .

But it wasn’t easy for him to make a move against the Zhen Nation, since the Zhen Nation and the Chu Nation were diplomatically related . The ruler of the Zhen Nation was his uncle . He planned to crush the Shen Nation before slowly planning Zhen Nation’s takedown .

However, Zhen Nation’s ministers thought that King Wen of Chu was being savagely ambitious when he asked for permission for his army to march to the Shen Nation through Zhen Nation .

They tried to stop the Zhen Nation’s ruler from helping him destroy the Shen Nation . They would share the fate of the Shen Nation if that happened .

In the end, the Zhen Nation’s ruler still agreed to let him pass under King Wen of Chu’s manipulation . He successfully conquered the biggest outsider nation [2] during the Southern Zhou Period . He turned it into the Chu Nation’s county .

King Wen of Chu still passed through the Zhen Nation during his return trip . The ministers of Zhen Nation didn’t dare to go against him now . However, King Wen of Chu didn’t plan to let them go .

To justify his act of invasion, he laid a trap . He leaked some news about deploying his army in his plan of taking over the Zhen Nation . When this news reached the ears of the Zhen Nation’s ministers, they sent someone to assassinate him . King Wen of Chu got them exactly where he wanted .

Using this as justification, he destroyed the Zhen Nation without hesitation and expanded his territory . The Chu Nation became incomparably strong with this .

But King Wen of Chu’s ambition of conquest and killing didn’t stop there . He was already thirty years old [3] . He didn’t like beauties; he didn’t like wine . The only thing he liked was big territories . He wasn’t just a great warlord . He was also talented in administration .

He established the prefectural system and paid great importance to the land and water transportation between counties and prefectures . He chose great officers and treated the people whose nation was crushed kindly .

So even if he eradicated other nations, nobody could really hold a grudge against him .

Once he stabilized his home nation, he started eyeing his next target – the Cai Nation .

His plan was to capture the whole of ancient China . He had to have a solid rationale every time he deployed his army . He couldn’t afford to give other countries a reason to band together and concentrate their firepower on him .

He was waiting for the right chance to deal with the Cai Nation . The chance appeared along with the female protagonist .
