Chapter 1055: A Nemesis Written in the Stars
"Xiao Chenger didn’t mention it at all."Faced with Gu Qiusha’s questioning, Xi Zuzi said casually, "Perhaps the scriptwriter took the liberty."
The little ancestor couldn’t immediately recall what the profession of scriptwriting is called nowadays.
Di...rector?
"I think so, sis..." Xi Rubao managed to swallow the word "brother-in-law" and quickly said, "Sis is right, how could Mr. Bo have time to pay attention to the casting matters with how busy he is? It must be Director Ma Xiaogang arranging it, right?"
Gu Qiusha nodded: "Hmm, that should be it."
"Mommy, it doesn’t matter if my brother can’t play Hou Yi, after all, he’s a refined gentleman which doesn’t suit the rugged role of Hou Yi. But our Qianman is the perfect choice for Chang Er. We have to convince Director Ma not to abandon our little Qian Qian, sob sob sob..."
Gu Qiusha: "Exactly, it doesn’t matter if the second son is the male lead or not, Qianman must be Chang Er!"
Saying this, she sent a message to Director Ma, conveying this idea, adding a dozen exclamation marks at the end, expressing her determination fully.
On the podium, the old professor with gray hair and beard coughed dryly: "Students, I am discussing the Pangu Tomb, don’t rush to discuss Chang Er. Chang Er and Pangu are not from the same era..."
Gu Qiusha and others were busy managing the casting affairs, only Xi Zuzi nodded earnestly: "Hmm, the Ancestor agrees with you."
Old Professor: "..." He didn’t know whether to be comforted or feel disheartened for a moment.

Gu Qiusha’s protest went unanswered for a long time.
It was not until dinner time that Ma Xiaogang finally called, hurriedly explaining the change of roles: "Qianshan, this role isn’t something I can decide alone. ’Long Immortal Road’ is so popular, the roles for the follow-up, ’Chang Er’, can’t be decided casually. The production team conducted an online survey before, choosing Wu Yongjian was a unanimous vote by netizens. Although I am the director, and Mr. Bo is the investor, forcibly changing the taste of the netizens may only result in the script being boycotted, which won’t be good for you or ’Chang Er’ in the end..."
"Is it that serious? Who is Wu Yongjian anyway? I’ve never heard of him before."
"Haha, Qianshan, that’s because you don’t follow celebrity news. Mr. Wu is very popular, with even more experience than Xi Langyue, and among the trending male stars, his reputation has been the most stable and best in the past three years. Plus, he has experienced the pain of losing his wife, making him particularly suitable for the role of Hou Yi..."
"What? He’s married and still a trending celebrity?"
"Haha, Qianshan, you need to update your knowledge. Male celebrities can still be charming post-marriage, and Mr. Wu is the first in that respect. Haven’t you noticed? Other male stars are at most called big brother or little brother, while he is respectfully called Mr. Wu. Mister, you know!"
Gu Qiusha’s lips twitched: "It’s a bit odd, calling a celebrity ’Mr.’, isn’t he a teacher!"
Director Ma: "Haha, it’s not odd, it’s very respectful! Qianshan, you can rest easy knowing that with such a popular star willing to join your new work, your new production is set to soar..."
"Wait, Wu Yongjian is fine, but I mainly want Wu Qianman to play the female lead!"
"Cough cough, I’m afraid that won’t work, Wu Yongjian’s only condition for joining was for his company’s new actress Meng Xiaoer to be the female lead."
Gu Qiusha: "...!"
Does this Mr. Wu have a bad horoscope match with her?!
