After my divorce, I started to have good luck

Chapter 1364 - 708: Gold Medal Producer (2)

Many entertainment agencies want to collaborate with them, and there is considerable capital eager to participate in this company’s future new projects.The agency Tang Jierui signed with is one of them. However, previously, his agency had no interaction or relationship with Fengmang Film and Television Company, making it undoubtedly challenging to introduce their artists into the company’s new drama.

Recently, there has been a lot of buzz in the industry that Fengmang’s new drama is in preparation and will soon be officially started. The screenwriter and producer are Wu Mengting, the screenwriter and producer of "Green Jade Case."

Moreover, there’s a rumor that the Best Actress, Yang Ziyin, has already been internally decided as the leading actress for this drama. Yang Ziyin herself is very fond of this new drama’s script.

Yang Ziyin has always been a guarantee of high ratings for TV dramas. Over the years, any drama she stars in as the lead actress doesn’t necessarily become a major hit, but at least none are of poor quality, and most become big hits, with some even becoming blockbusters.

In simple terms, Yang Ziyin is very selective with scripts. A drama she chooses to act in is assured of quality.

Thus, these days, Fengmang Film and Television Company has been bustling, with representatives from other entertainment companies calling daily or even visiting in person, eager to collaborate on the next drama.

The Yongxing Talent Agency that Tang Jierui signed with is one of them, primarily seeking an investment opportunity, with the secondary goal of promoting their actors into the new drama.

However, it was clear that Tang Jierui was not on Yongxing’s list of recommended candidates. His manager already told him that their company was pushing their biggest male star, Wang Chao, so he wasn’t included.

Wang Chao is currently a strong idol among domestic male actors, not only handsome but also widely recognized for his good acting skills, having received the domestic Golden Eagle Award.

Although Tang Jierui felt a bit disappointed and helpless about this, he had to admit that Wang Chao was a professionally trained actor. Even though Wang was only seven or eight years older, he had already participated in over a dozen dramas, many of which were big hits.

While Tang Jierui could be considered a top-trending star in China, he was well aware that he couldn’t compare to truly top-tier stars.

In such a backdrop, a call suddenly came from someone claiming to be a Fengmang Film and Television Company employee asking if he was interested in starring in their next drama.

Just as Tang Jierui was skeptical, thinking the caller might be a scammer, the caller then said that if he was interested, she could arrange for him to meet their director Wu Mengting, who was the screenwriter and producer of "Green Jade Case," and also his former school senior.

Prior to this, he had no idea that Wu Mengting was his senior, just three years ahead.

Mainly because Wu Mengting was too low-profile. Although she is an important leader at Fengmang Film and Television Company and the screenwriter and producer of the hit drama "Green Jade Case," she had never officially appeared in the media.

The public didn’t really form any impression of her and didn’t know what she looked like.

Hearing this, although still a bit doubtful, Tang Jierui immediately agreed and asked how they would arrange the meeting with Wu Mengting and if any public relations fee was required.

Unexpectedly, the response was surprising. The call said it wouldn’t cost him a penny, and he could come directly to Fengmang the next day, and she would try to arrange the meeting with Wu Mengting.

Tang Jierui was puzzled and asked why she was helping him selflessly.

She laughed and said she liked him and was a fan of his.

That was something Tang Jierui was inclined to believe, mainly because since childhood, he was so well-liked by the opposite sex. Women liking him enough to help him with some favors was just too normal.

So, Tang Jierui agreed to visit Fengmang Film and Television Company the following morning, hoping that she would keep her word and allow him to meet Wu Mengting, this high-level director and esteemed screenwriter and producer.

She repeatedly assured him, promising that when he came directly to Fengmang the next day, someone would receive him, and all he had to do was introduce himself and express his interest in starring in their next drama.

Tang Jierui certainly agreed to this.

After ending this call, Tang Jierui immediately called his manager to discuss the matter. Both felt that although this seemed somewhat peculiar, there was no harm in visiting Fengmang the next day. After all, there was nothing to lose, and if he indeed managed to meet Wu Mengting, his former school senior, it would be a great boon for Tang Jierui.

...

After calming down, Wu Mengting didn’t immediately call her parents, asking them to apply pressure.

Because doing so would undoubtedly cause some negative emotions for Chen Feng and his parents.

Most importantly, her father’s words can sometimes be quite blunt and not subtle. Last time, his conversation with Chen Feng didn’t go well, which left Chen Feng with a mental obstacle against her father.

Therefore, she couldn’t tell her father about this matter right away. She figured she could afford to wait two or three days.

Meanwhile, Chen Feng was also waiting for Wu Mengting’s reaction, but even after she and Sun Xiaorui returned to work and he saw them again, he hadn’t noticed any unusual response from Wu Mengting.

As soon as they left, Chen Feng called his mother and asked if she had already informed Wu Mengting about postponing the engagement.

Receiving a confirmed answer from his mother left Chen Feng a bit dumbfounded.

Wu Mengting’s calm demeanor, with no sign of urgency, left him perplexed.

If she didn’t want to get engaged or married to Chen Feng sooner, that couldn’t be true. Wu Mengting had previously told him personally that marrying him had become her obsession, so how could she give up easily?

Besides, she was also quite aware of Chen Feng’s terminal illness, even though it seemed to have improved now, it wasn’t fully recovered yet. Who knows if some unexpected situation might arise again?

For safety’s sake, the earlier she got engaged and married to Chen Feng, the better.

But she seemed indifferent to it all?

In this confusion, Chen Feng waited for Wu Mengting and Sun Xiaorui to return home after work in the afternoon.

After dinner, as usual, Sun Xiaorui went to wash the dishes in the kitchen, leaving Chen Feng and Wu Mengting to talk in the living room.

"My mom said she already called you to explain about the engagement delay. Are you agreeing to the delay as you said before?"

Once they sat down on the sofa, Chen Feng inquired directly.

Wu Mengting looked at him calmly and said, "I keep my word, but you deliberately lied to your parents, didn’t you? What fortune teller? What about getting engaged to me bringing bad luck? Aren’t those lies? I really despise the way you lie and deceive your parents without hesitation."
