Chapter 76 Zheng Shuang's unwavering support for Tang Lou!
Chapter 76 Zheng Shuang's unwavering support for Tang Lou!
Wu Yifan was somewhat surprised to hear that President Gao wanted him to star in "The Golden Hairpin".
However, he was just an actor, and given the right script, the right price, and the fact that it was a big platform like kiwifruit, he quickly agreed to take the role.
Wu Yifan's respect and politeness towards Tanglou were merely superficial; everything was for profit.
Now that idiot Tang Lou has even lost the copyright to "The Golden Hairpin," and I don't have any deep relationship with him, so I didn't hesitate at all.
"However, this tenement building isn't entirely useless. At least, he actively promoted this project, and with his vision, this drama is definitely going to be fine."
"Moreover, the director of this drama is the gold-medal director Lin Yufeng, and I have that pretty girl Zheng Shuang as the female lead, so I can easily get her on board."
Wu Yifan is interested in all the young actresses in the industry, especially Zheng Shuang, who has a beautiful, innocent face.
After Wu Yifan confirmed his participation, Lin Yufeng also agreed to direct.
Next up is the female lead, Zheng Shuang.
In Gao Zong’s opinion, Zheng Shuang is definitely the easiest to win over among the three. After all, Zheng Shuang’s reputation in the industry is that she values profit. Moreover, the drama also has Lin Yufeng and Wu Yifan in the cast.
However, when General Manager Gao made an appointment with Zheng Shuang, Zheng Shuang's reaction was somewhat unexpected.
"Mr. Gao, isn't this drama a project of Coolcat? Tang Lou mentioned it to me before."
Zheng Shuang had made all the preparations to join the Tanglou production team and film this S+ blockbuster drama with him, but she never expected this unexpected incident to occur.
Mr. Gao's assessment of the tenement building was quite blunt:
"Zheng Shuang, the copyright to this drama has been bought by Kiwi Fruit. Tanglou is completely out of the running."
"We have invited director Lin Yufeng and director Wu Yifan to star in this drama. We at Kiwifruit also have high hopes for this drama and will invest a lot of money in it. It is also our most important drama for the rest of the year."
"Regarding your salary, we will offer you the highest price in the industry."
Mr. Gao was full of sincerity and seemed determined to win.
In the past, Zheng Shuang wouldn't have hesitated at all. After all, this drama was a big production, with Lin Yufeng providing support and Wu Yifan being a top-tier young idol at the peak of his career. The chances of this drama becoming a hit were very high.
Moreover, this drama was originally promoted by Tang Lou, so there must be a reason behind it.
However, now that she knows the show originally belonged to Tanglou but was snatched away by Kiwi, she realizes that if she were to easily join Kiwi's project, she would be betraying Tanglou.
"Tang Lou must be very frustrated and angry. If I join the kiwi fruit project now, it'll be like stabbing him in the chest."
Zheng Shuang did not hesitate at all:
"Mr. Gao, I'm sorry. Originally, if Tang Lou had invited me, I would have participated. However, now that Mr. Tang has been eliminated, I have no interest in this drama anymore."
"Mr. Gao, please leave."
Zheng Shuang was even a little angry; this kiwi was truly despicable.
General Manager Gao was somewhat taken aback, not expecting Zheng Shuang to value Tang Lou so much and even stand with Tang Lou.
After all, General Manager Gao represents capital and has plenty of power and resources. Seeing Zheng Shuang's lack of respect, he lost interest in continuing the conversation.
"Since you admire Tanglou so much and want to cooperate with Cool Cat, then you don't need to come to our Kiwi Fruit project anymore."
"Hopefully, when 'The Golden Hairpin' becomes a huge hit, you won't regret it!"
"Goodbye!"
Mr. Gao left with a cold expression on his face.
Soon, news broke that Kiwi Video had snatched Tanglou's "The Golden Hairpin" project.
Those in the industry, of course, were watching with amusement.
"It seems this tenement building got a little too cocky, making such a fatal mistake. They lost the project and let Kiwi Fruit get a huge windfall."
"Speaking of which, KuMiao has been putting a lot of pressure on Kiwi lately, and this 'The Golden Hairpin' project is a way for us to regain our breath."
"Directed by Lin Yufeng, starring Wu Yifan, and with a solid script, this drama looks set to be another hit. It has to be said that Kiwi (the production company) does have some talent and vision when it comes to producing its own dramas."
"The show 'Yu Zui' is not bad, it's just that it's too explicit. Its censorship is not only a loss for Kiwi, but also a loss for the audience."
"I hope that Kiwifruit can rise again with 'The Golden Hairpin' and present the audience with a top-notch audio-visual feast."
"Speaking of which, this drama originally wanted to cast Zheng Shuang, but unexpectedly she turned down Kiwi. I don't know what she was thinking, is she trying to side with Cool Cat?"
"The drama 'The Golden Hairpin' could have helped her break into the mainstream again, it's a pity."
...
While the industry was mocking Tang Lou and Zheng Shuang, and praising kiwifruit, another actress set her sights on the lead actress of the drama.
Yang Zi and Zhang Yishan are close friends and support each other in their careers.
The removal and blocking of "Yu Zui" has had a significant impact on Zhang Yishan's career. He was originally poised to become a sensation for a while thanks to this show, but now it's over after only half of the episodes have aired.
Due to the removal of "Yu Zui" from streaming platforms and considering the State Administration of Radio and Television's stance, various variety shows dared not invite Zhang Yishan, resulting in a significant decrease in his exposure opportunities.
As the investigation progressed, all the clues pointed to Cool Cat as the mastermind. Therefore, Zhang Yishan harbored resentment towards Cool Cat and Tanglou, but dared not offend Cool Cat openly because of its immense power.
As a friend of Zhang Yishan, this was also a good opportunity to vent Zhang Yishan's anger.
This drama, "The Golden Hairpin," was originally a project of Tanglou, but it was snatched away by iQiyi. Yang Zi will play the female lead in this drama. When the drama becomes a hit, she will give Zhang Yishan a good venting of his anger.
Because of Zhang Yishan, Yang Zi didn't have a good impression of Tanglou either.
Of course, that's only the first reason. The second reason is that Yang Zi reached the peak of her career after the broadcast of "Ode to Joy".
She was also named one of the four most promising young actresses born in the 90s, directly competing with Zheng Shuang!
If she becomes a sensation again with this drama starring Kiwi, she can become the number one among the four little actresses born in the 90s.
This could also completely suppress Zheng Shuang!
In terms of both timing and buzz, this is Yang Zi's best opportunity.
The kiwifruit company was also extremely pleased with Yang Zi's initiative to volunteer.
This is practically a battle with Cool Cat from afar. Yang Zi's popularity is already quite high thanks to "Ode to Joy," and with the grudges and competition between Tang Lou and Zheng Shuang, the topic is generating a lot of buzz.
This immediately raised the anticipation level for the show to the max!
The pairing of Wu Yifan and Yang Zi has excited many fans.
Zheng Shuang was somewhat wary after seeing Yang Zi join the cast. She knew very well that if Yang Zi became famous through this drama, it would be very disadvantageous for her.
But when she thought of Tang Lou, she still firmly chose to be with him.
"Tang Lou, you scoundrel! I turned down a huge opportunity for you. You'd better make it up to me now."
