Chapter 540: Banquet

But it was because of them that many popular actors became famous, so no one would report them. This was normal.

However, it was dangerous for a righteous young man like Lan Yanran to participate in such a cocktail party. He might accidentally cut off his escape route.

“Of course, you can choose not to participate, but it will reduce your resources. I won’t force you. In this circle, as long as you think quickly, nothing serious will happen. You can decide for yourself.”

Wang Qing didn’t want to give one of her generals to those freaks because of resources, unless they were willing.

Lan Yanran thought for a moment and looked at the scripts in his hand.

Other than the latest variety show, there were almost no good scripts for him.

“Sister Qing, you’re right. As long as I think fast, I believe I won’t be harmed by them.”

Lan Yanran decided to attend the banquet. After all, it was a good opportunity to get resources. There were too many people like him in the entertainment circle. If he didn’t work hard, the opportunity would always be theirs.

At night…

Lan Yanran was dressed to the nines. He wore a fitting suit, had a beautiful hairstyle, and had an exquisite face. He attracted the attention of many people the moment he appeared.

Everyone present was dressed in gorgeous gowns and exquisite makeup. Both men and women, young and old, were very surprised by his appearance. It was the first time many people saw him and they felt that he was even prettier than on television.

The moment he walked into the middle of the room, several people appeared from the side, walking towards him with wine glasses.

Lan Yanran recognized one of the men at a glance. He was a famous director in the entertainment circle. He heard that he was recently filming a movie called ‘On the River During the Qingming Festival’. He was selecting the male lead for the characters in the movie. Lan Yanran had always wanted to be in his movies.

Since he was here, he wouldn’t stand on ceremony.

Lan Yanran took the initiative to walk towards them.

“Are you Lan Yanran? This is the first time I’ve seen you.”

Lin Fei looked gentle and refined, and his smile was kind. He gave Lan Yanran a good impression.

“Director Lin, I heard about you a long time ago. I heard that you are filming a period drama called ‘On the River During the Qingming Festival’. I’m quite interested.”

Lan Yanran held a glass of red wine, looking very familiar as he spoke those polite words.

“I chose not to choose the male lead casually, but I’ve been having a headache recently because of it. I’ve selected a few, but I haven’t decided on who yet.”

Lin Fei pretended to have a headache.

“Director Lin, what are you saying? Our Yanran is a popular celebrity. Who can be more likable than our Yanran? Just based on looks, who can compare?”

Wang Qing tried to smooth things over.

“Yanran, to be honest, being handsome is also one of the first tasks for actors, but your acting skills are your most important asset if you want to be a good actor. I have seen the television dramas you act in, they are really ordinary but you did become popular halfway through.

“But do you know the reason why it’s so popular? It’s all on account of your handsome face. I have a modern drama. The third male lead position is available, if you think it’s suitable, we can decide on it today.” Beside Lin Hao was an unknown small director who piped up.

Wang Qing glanced at him. She didn’t recognize the director in front of her nor has he filmed any famous movies, but this was a director’s conference after all, so she couldn’t openly refute him.

“Director, it’s a waste of Yanran’s talent to be the third male lead, although I haven’t seen your show and don’t know your name. Do you think there aren’t any other shows? Yanran is a lucky star, he will become popular wherever he goes.

“The popularity and data are there. He might even be able to help your actors to become popular after he joins your production team,” Wang Qing smiled and said.

The young director glanced at Wang Qing and smiled disdainfully.

“Who do you think you are? How dare you be so picky? It’s good enough that you have an online drama. Don’t you know how you got your status? You relied on sending others to prison to gain popularity, and on your sister and brother-in-law.

“Your brother-in-law’s company is half-dead and I don’t know when it will get better. You’re still being picky about your resources? Don’t act if you don’t dare. Director Lin’s show isn’t something you can act in.”

Lan Yanran didn’t say anything. He didn’t want to quarrel with the director on such an occasion.

He smiled at the director instead.

“I know I’m not strong enough, that’s why I need to enter the director’s production team to train. I’ll start from the bottom. I don’t mind if the director is willing to give me a third male lead position. I’m not picky as long as the script is good.”

Lan Yanran belittled him with just a few words.

If this director accepted him, it would mean that he had admitted that he was a lousy director and the production team and script weren’t that good. Anyone with a brain could tell that Lan Yanran was mocking him.

The young director’s face flushed red, but he didn’t dare to retort. After all, in front of Lin Fei, he didn’t dare to say how good a director he was.

“You third-rate actor, how dare you speak to me like this? If it weren’t for Director Lin, I would have exposed you. What’s so great about you?”

The young director left with his wine glass.

Lin Fei glanced at Lan Yanran and smiled.

“You’re quite flexible, but it won’t be easy to get into my show. I’ll get my assistant to pass you my script later. Come and audition sometime.”

Lan Yanran was excited to hear this.

As expected, a boy who loved to smile wouldn’t have bad luck.

“Thank you, Director Lin, for giving me this chance. I will definitely perform well and not disappoint you.”

Lan Yanran’s words were full of excitement and gratitude.

Once he was in his show, he might become famous in the future.

“I saw a few familiar faces, so I won’t chat with you any longer. Remember to audition for the role in three days.”

Lin Fei patted his shoulder and reminded him patiently.

“Got it, Director.”

Lan Yanran turned around and praised himself for his performance.

He walked to a chair and sat down. It wasn’t easy to get a show with Lin Fei, so he wouldn’t ask for so much.

Seeing that the situation was stable today, Wang Qing didn’t accompany him anymore.

Lan Yanran wasn’t the only celebrity under her, she had to fight for more opportunities for the other celebrities.

Lan Yanran sat alone in a corner, eating the pastries. At this moment, a man in a suit with glasses walked over. He sat beside him with a glass of red wine and smiled.

“You are Lan Yanran. I saw you fighting for Director Lin’s movie. I have a movie to film too, do you want to participate?”

The man looked very refined.

Lan Yanran eyed the man in front of him.
