The Villain and the Cannon Fodder’s Mother - Chapter 201

Chapter 201 – She might be a Daddy Investor, but she wasn’t that type of a Daddy Investor, okay? (2)

All of the directors and assistant directors were already informed as were all of the primary actors. Even some of the production crew members and actors would have caught wind of it. Without any confirmation, most of them, however, would only assume that it was just a rumor.

Yu Yi, along with his assistant, headed straight to the director’s business suite. When they were told that the director had gone to the hotel’s Japanese restaurant, they immediately headed over there.

At this time, in addition to Director Chen of My Classmate, there were also the screenwriter and a few major investors.

Lin Yiyi, as the producer of the show, was also there as well.

They were discussing about Zhang Xiying’s withdrawal. Never mind about all the hassles that would follow later on. Just the fact that they will need to replace her immediately was a big problem.

First of all, they couldn’t have someone who was too unheard of. They already have Zhang Xiying first. If they picked someone that nobody had heard of, the viewers would lose confidence in the show.

In addition, most actors’ schedules were arranged well in advance. Now that their team had already started filming, it was no easy feat to find someone who happened to be free.

Actors who were somewhat famed, had a draw, and somewhat popular rarely had openings in their schedules. Anyone who was freely available would be those whose popularity has been slipping and perhaps hadn’t worked in 6 months or even a year.

Naturally, these business people were doing more than just dining here right now. They were here to discuss the matter on hand. And some were there to take advantage of the opportunity.

For example, one of the investors wanted to add someone into the show. Okay, so you wanted to add someone into the show, but as the female lead? You weren’t the only investor in this series, buddy! The biggest investor hasn’t even spoken up yet!

Lin Yiyi and Tao Jiahui exchanged a look and neither one of them acknowledged his request.

Such was the messy situation that Yu Yi had walked into.

They must admit that as a highly popular, high attraction young actor with a lot of fans and fan clubs and would always be surrounded by a large crowd wherever he went, Yu Yi certainly had an outstandingly pretty face, especially when contrasted by a tableful of old men. All of them were instantly turned into objects that would pain one’s eyes and Yu Yi the fresh flower.

Yu Yi was there because he wanted to ask Director Chen about this.

As the male lead, he has the right to know about something as major as the female lead’s withdrawal.

That being said, as soon as he walked into the restaurant and saw everyone that was sitting around the table, especially the two very well-known bosses, he knew that wasn’t the best time to talk.

Being in the entertainment circle for as long as he did, he knew full well that investors were the equivalent of daddies in the entertainment circle.

All it needed was a word from them to switch out a role.

“Yu Yi is here too?”

One of the Daddy Investors saw the little fresh meat and broke into a smile immediately. “C’mon over. We are just talking about the issue regarding the female lead. You can share your thoughts with us.”

This man did not know Yu Yi very well but that did not stop him from being fond of Yu Yi.

This fondness came abruptly. A few of the others casted him a glance.

Yu Yi was not exactly pure and innocent in the entertainment circle. The entertainment circle was a very complicated environment.

Some might dislike others for no reason; but nobody would ever be fond of another for no reason!

Many old men had kept little fresh meats. Some even mightier ones had even bedded film emperors.

Yu Yi paused for a second and just when he was mulling over how to get out of this, the server walked over with two servings of light Japanese style cheesecakes.

He didn’t even think it through when he took the desserts from the server and walked over to Lin Yiyi.

And that was when Lin Yiyi received a couple of envious looks.

Lin Yiyi, “……”

Hey! She might be a Daddy Investor, but she wasn’t that type of a Daddy Investor, okay?
