Jiang Ying's gaze quietly shuttled back and forth between Su Jian'an and Director Zhang.

Director Zhang excused herself and said that she was not busy eating first, and she "chuckled" in her heart - Director Zhang was determined to give the role to Han Ruoxi, otherwise she wouldn't even be willing to eat with them.

Jiang Ying could even guess Director Zhang's next step - explain to them, and Director Zhang would get up and leave with apologies, and take the character that was originally going to be given to her.

Fortunately, Su Jian is a tall man, and he is not busy talking to Director Zhang about the belonging of the role, but cares about Director Zhang's pressure.

No matter how unexpected Han Ruoxi's way of returning, her past is stained - this cannot be washed away and cannot be explained. The fact that she has been praised overseas does not mean that the domestic audience has re-accepted her.

Therefore, Director Zhang asked Han Ruoxi to star in his movie, and he needed to bear the risk of box office loss. Because no one can predict how well the domestic audience will accept Han Ruoxi after the movie is released.

If the audience has re-accepted Han Ruoxi, it will naturally be good.

What if the audience is still resistant to Han Ruoxi? The box office will inevitably suffer.

Investors don't want to watch their money go down the drain.

In other words, Director Zhang not only has to bear the pressure from investors, but also the pressure of unknown risks.

Su Jian'an understands these pressures, so she chooses to start from here.

Jiang Ying once thought that Su Jian'an's conversation skills were superior, but if she thought about it carefully, Su Jian'an was just good at thinking about others and knowing how to empathize, right?

Jiang Ying's anxious heart because she might lose her role slowly calmed down.

She thought, when she calmed down, she would see that Su Jian'an had a lot to learn from her.

"Director Zhang," Su Jian'an poured a cup of tea for Director Zhang, "You value love and righteousness and are willing to give newcomers a chance, everyone in this circle knows it, and I understand it." However, this role is very heavy and plays a decisive role at the box office, so I still suggest you consider Jiang Ying. ”

Jiang Ying immediately looked at Director Zhang with the most sincere gaze.

Director Zhang pondered for a moment and said, "That's it—let Ruoxi and Jiang Ying compete fairly." ”

"......" Jiang Ying sighed again in her heart and forced her composure.

Su Jian'an has managed many artists of Lu's Media for four years, and he can be regarded as having seen some storms, so he asked calmly: "Director Zhang, how do you want them to compete fairly?" ”

"Make an appointment during the week that is convenient for each other." Director Zhang said, "Let Jiang Ying and Ruoxi come to the audition together." I will bring the contract with me, announce the result of the game on the spot, and sign the contract. ”

"......" Jiang Ying felt that her head was blank.

Su Jian'an was still calm and accepted the challenge for Jiang Ying.

Director Zhang looked at his watch and said that he would have something to do for a while, so he wouldn't eat with Su Jian'an and Jiang Ying.

Su Jianan did not force Director Zhang to stay, and politely sent Director Zhang away with Jiang Ying.

Back in the box, Su Jian'an looked at the time, only to find that it was past two o'clock, she finally felt hungry, ordered some food, and asked the waiter to help urge the kitchen to serve the food quickly.

The waiter agreed, took the order menu and left, and gently closed the box door.

"Ah-" Jiang Ying finally had no scruples and wailed, "Sister Jian An, what should I do?" It's not that I don't have confidence, but I'm really not Han Ruoxi's opponent!! ”

No matter what Han Ruoxi has done and what her character is, her business ability and acting skills have been recognized in all directions.

Even if she has been silent for four years, Han Ruoxi's acting skills can still crush many powerful female artists in China, including Jiang Ying, a TV coffee who has only been active on the small screen.

Jiang Ying thought with frustration that this was a game that already knew the outcome without having to do it.

Su Jian'an and Jiang Ying had different opinions, saying, "How can you know if you don't try?" ”

Jiang Ying covered her face: "I think I'm going to be crushed!" ”

"It's too early to lose faith." Su Jianan encouraged Jiang Ying, "On the contrary, I think that this role must be yours." ”

Jiang Ying looked at Su Jian'an and felt that Su Jian'an seemed to be very confident.

She could only think of a reasonable explanation -

"Sister Jian An, are you going to help me go through the back door?"

Su Jianan has managed the artists of Lu's Media for four years, and he still has some connections in the entertainment industry. Even if there is none, the investor of the film will rush to Lu Boyan to give her enough face.

In addition to finding Lu Boyan's backer, or directly going to a film investor, Jiang Ying really couldn't think of any other way to defeat Han Ruoxi.

"No, I don't." Su Jianan shook his head and said, "Let's compete with Han Ruoxi in a dignified way to see who can play better." ”

"......" Jiang Ying smiled bitterly and drew a big circle in the air with both hands, and casually pointed to a point in the circle with her hand, "Sister Jian An, compared with Han Ruoxi's acting skills, my chances of winning are only so much!" ”

At this time, the meal came up.

Su Jian'an took a sip of soup and said, "Don't think about how good Han Ruoxi's acting skills are, you just need to maintain the level you have always been and go to the audition normally." ”

“…… All right. Jiang Ying finally decided to listen to Su Jian'an, "Then I have to prepare well!" The odds weren't good, but she decided to give it her all.

At three o'clock, Su Jianan returned to the company.

Going out in the morning led to a backlog of work today, and she didn't even have time to catch her breath, so she started to work on it as soon as she sat down.

More than an hour, as if it had passed in the blink of an eye, and the clock pointed to five o'clock.

Shen Yuechuan and Xiao Yunyun had an appointment and got off work on time. Lu Boyan added more than half an hour to work, but he didn't see Su Jian'an coming to him, so he packed up his things and went to find Su Jian'an.

Lu's Media is in an independent office building, and the company's employees rarely have the opportunity to meet Lu Boyan, but this situation has changed since Su Jian'an came to become the artist director, and Lu Boyan's media company has changed from a rare thing to an ordinary thing.

Lu Boyan didn't let the secretary inform Su Jian'an, and went directly into Su Jian'an's office.

Su Jian'an heard from the footsteps that it was Lu Boyan, raised his head, subconsciously looked at the time, and said apologetically: "I forgot the time." ”

Lu Boyan looked at the documents on Su Jian'an's desk: "There are still many things that have not been dealt with?" ”

Su Jian'an estimated: "It can be done around six o'clock." ”

Lu Boyan sat on the sofa and said, "I'll wait for you." ”

Su Jian'an smiled, nodded, and sped up on the matter at hand.

Seeing that it was almost six o'clock, Su Jianan finally put down the pen, turned off the computer, stretched a big lazy waist, and then stood up and told Lu Boyan that he could go.

Lu Boyan noticed that Su Jianan was still holding some documents in his hand.

Su Jian'an said: "These can be dealt with again tonight. ”

"Hmm." Lu Boyan naturally took the document in Su Jian'an's hand, and the two left the office together.

After getting in the car, Lu Boyan asked Su Jian'an if the things she said on the phone at noon had been handled.

"Hmm......" Su Jian'an bit her lip and said vaguely, "I found a way to deal with it, and I will know the result within a week!" ”

Lu Boyan raised his eyebrows and looked at Su Jian'an: "You don't plan to tell me what happened?" ”

“…… Actually, it's okay to tell you. ”

Su Jianan turned on the tablet, found the report of Han Ruoxi's return with his works, handed the tablet to Lu Boyan, and motioned him to look at it.

Lu Boyan glanced at the title and closed the tablet, signaling Su Jianan to continue.

Su Jian'an almost lost Jiang Ying's role, and she took Jiang Ying to tell Lu Boyan about going to Director Zhang.

Lu Boyan pondered for two seconds and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the biggest investor in this movie is the Tang Group?" ”

Tang's Group, the company of the Bai Tang family, is managed by Bai Tang's eldest brother, and Tang brother and Lu Boyan have a good relationship.

Su Jian'an knew what Lu Boyan was hinting at her, and shook her head: "Don't do that." I want to win with dignity. If we lose, it can only mean that our artists still have a lot of room for improvement. ”

Lu Boyan confirmed again and again: "You really don't need my help?" ”

Su Jian'an shook his head without thinking: "Don't!" ”

Lu Boyan smiled: "Okay." When Su Jian'an wanted to solve the problem in his own way, he would never obstruct him, let alone force him to give him so-called better advice, and ask her to deal with it in his own way.

Because Lu Boyan gave enough space, Su Jian'an has grown rapidly in the past four years.

When the two returned home, they found that there was only Tang Yulan at home.

The little ones should be back from school.

"They were all taken away by Xiaoxi." Tang Yulan said with a smile, "Xiao Xi seems to have bought some new toy." ”

"Then I'll take care of the rest of the work first." Su Jian'an said, "Otherwise, when Xiyu and Xiangyi come back, I won't have time to accompany them." ”

"Hmm." Lu Boyan handed the document to Su Jian'an, who took the document and ran upstairs in three steps and two steps.

It wasn't until she couldn't see Su Jian'an's figure that Tang Yulan frowned and glanced at Lu Boyan reproachfully: "Why are you arranging so many jobs for Jian An?" After a tiring day at the company, can't you let her have a good rest when she goes home? ”

Lu Boyan poured Tang Yulan a cup of tea and said, "Mom, her work doesn't need me to arrange it for a long time." ”

…… Tang Yulan also knew that Su Jian'an did a good job.

When Xiyu and Xiangyi didn't go to kindergarten yet, she watched TV at home with the two little guys, and occasionally switched to the entertainment channel, and when the channel was playing entertainment news, she often heard Su Jian'an's name, Su Jian'an also appeared on TV several times, and the two little guys pointed to the TV and called "Mom".

This made Tang Yulan proud, but she was still reluctant to see Su Jian'an too busy.

Tang Yulan took a sip of tea and said, "Then you can arrange an extra assistant to help Jian An reduce her workload." ”

Lu Boyan nodded: "Let's arrange it." ”

He got up and went upstairs, and instead of going to the study, he went back to his room.

The moment he closed the door, Lu Boyan's eyes darkened.

It's been a long time since such a gaze has appeared under his eyes.

He dialed Gao Han's phone and said straight to the point: "Help me check someone." ”

Gao Han was curious: "Who caught your attention?" ”

"Han Ruoxi." Lu Boyan said, "Where she has been in the past four years, when she started filming in the United States, and why she returned to China, find out one by one." ”
