Nanshi Corporation, CEO’s office.
Jiang Zhe came in and placed some photos and files of several actresses on Nan Chen’s desk.
“Mr. Chen, these are the actresses we’ve found to replace Ding Mi. These five in particular are the more suitable candidates, please have a look.”
Nan Chen picked up the files and glanced through them.
His first thought was These people are too plain.
Out of the five, three of them had similar-looking faces. They were a dime a dozen, like most internet sensations.
The remaining two looked unique, but just lacked some flair to their appearance.
As for what they lacked, it could only be described as life.
Nan Chen frowned, and his expression grew cold.
“The best?” He looked up at Jiang Zhe.
“You could say they’re the best in the industry. Three of them have received awards for their acting skills and were top of their field.” Jiang Zhe said nervously.
Nan Chen’s frown deepened.
They would never be able to replace that woman like this.
Although her character was terrible, she lived for acting.
Her every move was captured perfectly on camera.
She had perfect control over the intensity of her emotions. That was an innate talent that no director could possibly create.
“No.” Nan Chen concluded.
“Mr. Chen, these are really the best five we could pick.” Jiang Zhe said.
“These won’t do, keep looking.” Nan Chen said.
“Mr. Chen…”
“Keep looking.”
Jiang Zhe dared not say another word. If the boss had rejected what he claimed to be the best five candidates, what else could he do?
“Mr. Chen, I have something to say, but I’m not sure if I should.”
“Say it.”
“You take this film so seriously that you even got Young Master Lun to star in it. So, why are you replacing Ms. Ding?”
Nan Chen kept quiet.
If the boss doesn’t say a word, it means he doesn’t want to talk about it. So, that means the only thing left to do is to keep searching for better candidates.
As for when the right one can be found and whether or not it can be found, is a different story.
Nan Chen went back to reading his documents, as Jiang Zhe tidied up the files of the actresses and silently backed out of the office.
After Jiang Zhe left, Nan Chen looked back up and stared into space.
He didn’t want to replace Ning Ran either, as he knew that this film would be a classic.
Anyone could make a show a hit. To make it a classic that can withstand the test of time, however, was no easy task.
It would greatly enhance the reputation and brand value of the entertainment company if they could produce a classic.
Some companies have produced a lot of films but none of them were remembered by the audience.
That was why Nan Chen had Zheng Lunlun star in this film to produce a classic.
It would also be able to let Zheng Lunlun who loved acting get a boost in his popularity.
But, alas, the actress that was so good at her job was a very bad woman.
Not only did she want to marry into the Nan family for her personal gains, but she also tried to mess around with Zheng Lunlun.
If word got out about this, the Nan family’s reputation as the number one household in Flower City would be completely destroyed by her.
Of course, the Nan family’s reputation was much more important than a film, so Nan Chen could only sacrifice the film and had her replaced.
As long as he could find someone suitable, Nan Chen would immediately have her disappear completely from Flower City.
Nan Chen stood up and paced about in his office.
Then, he picked up his phone and called Nan Xing.
Nan Xing answered quickly, “Yes, brother?”
“Were you the one picking the kids up from school lately?”
