A piece of copy was posted, accompanied by a picture.
The picture showed her and Qing Muye kissing affectionately, with the Imperial View Villa as the backdrop.
Meng Jingwei, without hesitation, posted the simple text with the intimate photo and then turned off her phone.
"Teacher Meng, your scene is up."
At this moment, a staff member came over to remind her.
Since Lan Shu was busy with other matters for the past two days, Meng Jingwei had no personal assistant and had to handle everything herself.
"Hey, Jingwei, wait up."
Suddenly, a voice called out from not far away.
Meng Jingwei turned her head and saw a few people from the directing team walking towards her.
Leading them was Director Li.
"What is it? What do you need me for?"
Meng Jingwei muttered to herself. She had only just posted on Weibo, and it had been less than three minutes. They couldn't possibly have received the news already.
Director Li glanced at the other directors beside him and pushed up the black frame of his glasses. "That... the friend you introduced, do you think she could try out? How are her martial arts skills? Does she really have no acting experience at all?"
"Also, if she acts, will her salary demands be high?"
"We need her to reshoot many scenes. Will she cooperate?"
"Mainly, her image is too perfect a fit for the protagonist. After thinking it over, none of us directors can find a suitable actress."
"Yes, yes, if it's really not working out, let her try?"
...
It was evident that the directors were at their wits' end.
If they weren't desperate, they wouldn't have come to her again so soon.
Meng Jingwei thought for a moment and said, "I can film my scenes first these few days, trying not to delay the crew's progress. You can use these days to hold auditions."
She offered her suggestion.
"Daughter of a General" was a big production with a considerable budget. Although Meng Jingwei highly recommended Shen Liannuo, she knew that if the recommendation succeeded and the TV series performed poorly, she would be held responsible.
If the reputation tanked, wouldn't the directors' team just tear her apart?
"How about this, you help us schedule a meeting with her first, maybe ask her to come tomorrow for a screen test?" Director Li compromised. "If that doesn't work, don't we have acting coaches? We can assign a coach to accompany her."
Reluctantly, they had to resort to this plan.
"Alright, I'll schedule a meeting with her tomorrow. But..." Meng Jingwei paused. "Although I recommended her, the final decision is yours. I'll say this upfront, if there are any problems with the casting of the lead role, or if the public doesn't accept it, I will not be held responsible."
She distanced herself, not wanting the directors to blame her in the end.
The few of them looked at each other, smiled, and shook their heads.
The martial arts instructor clasped his hands behind his back and chuckled, "This is the era of appearance. All audiences focus on acting and looks. Your friend is absolutely stunning. If her acting improves, it will definitely be a plus!"
He said with conviction.
"Yes, yes, I think so too."
"We can only try. We have no other options right now."
"Quick, quick, Meng Jingwei, hurry up and contact your friend."
"Oh, right. Has your friend signed with a film and television company yet? I was thinking, I have a friend who owns a film and television company. Would you like me to recommend her there?"
A co-director had taken a liking to Shen Liannuo and wanted to bring her to his friend's entertainment company to sign her as an artist.
