The True Heiress Is The Real Bigshot novel Chapter 148

Chapter 148: 144 children, sit tight and don’t move【1 more】

The agent’s hands were trembling.

He could even imagine the sensation it would cause once the film was released.

This would influence not just Hua Country, but the entire world, and it might even drive the development of a series of industries.

The fame reaped would be boundless.

Even the socialites of the capital wouldn’t reject such an offer.

Perhaps Chuguang Media alone wouldn’t be sufficient to catch the attention of a wealthy family, but Universal Film Company was different.

This was world-class.

Those invited by Universal Film Company to act in films were all top actors globally.

In the past fifty years, not a single person from Hua Country had achieved this honor.

Behind Universal Film Company was the support of a powerful financial consortium from O Continent.

Luckily, among Ying Luwei’s marketed personas was one as the next Vera Hall.

Otherwise, such a good opportunity wouldn’t have come their way.

“What?!” The agent, who had been smiling, suddenly changed color, “Why? Wasn’t it all set last week? Although we hadn’t signed the contract, but—”

His words were cut off as the phone went “beep beep beep” and hung up.

Without any mercy.

There was not the slightest leniency for him being Ying Luwei’s agent.

As the number one entertainment company in Hua Country, Chuguang Media naturally wouldn’t see a wealthy Shanghai family in a different light.

Ying Luwei, noticing his expression, knew something was amiss.

She furrowed her brows, somewhat displeased: “What’s going on?”

The agent looked at his phone for a long while before coming back to his senses: “Chuguang Media said, although they wanted Luwei to audition last week, they have just changed their CEO and are busy transitioning.”

“The new Executive Director took office and took over the film project, saying the role of Vera Hall is not open to casting.”

There was another sentence the agent didn’t dare utter.

The exact words from Chuguang Media were:

As Vera Hall always appears in front of the public wearing a mask, it’s entirely possible to create the character using AI synthesis; there’s no need for a real person.

In fact, they could easily pull someone off from a music academy to play the part, without needing Ying Luwei.

Basically, Ying Luwei wasn’t worthy.

“Why? Why won’t they let her act?” Ying Luwei laughed angrily, “Does the new Executive Director think they are Vera Hall? That they can sway Universal Film and Television Company’s decisions?”

“Although the movie is a joint venture between Chuguang Media and Universal Film and Television Company, with Universal Film and Television Company leading,” the agent sighed, “the role of Vera Hall alone is entirely in the hands of Chuguang Media.”

“Why?” Ying Luwei was both angry and confused, “Vera Hall is from O Continent, right?”

“No, Luwei, I just found out too,” the agent lowered his voice, “inside information from Chuguang Media reveals that Universal Film told them Vera Hall is a Hua Country native.”

“To closely match the historical figure, the casting must also be a person from Hua Country.”

“A Hua Country native?” Ying Luwei was astonished, “How is that possible?”

If Vera Hall were Hua Country native, why wouldn’t she be mentioned in O Continent’s music history?

“How could we possibly know?” The agent shook his head, “Do you know about the large financial consortium behind Universal Film Company from O Continent? It’s said to be a very old family that has funded many artists.”

“Their ancestor was a close friend of Vera Hall, so who can say?”

“Ignorant fools!” Ying Luwei scoffed, “Let’s see how they manage to shoot this movie without me.”

“Luwei, don’t be rash; this role really would be beneficial for you,” the agent thought for a moment, “Chuguang Media said their new Executive Director is right here at the Shanghai branch office.”

“Let’s go meet with them, plead a little, maybe there’s still a chance.”

Chuguang Media, Shanghai branch office.

After making the call, the female secretary cautiously asked, “Executive Director, are we really going to use AI synthesis?”

“Computer technology is very advanced.” Ying Zijin looked up, scrutinizing her for a moment, “You’re tall enough, I think you could play the part with a mask on.”

The flattered secretary: “…”

She was happy to be complimented, but she really wasn’t fit or worthy for the role.

“Executive Director, to be honest, I don’t think there are many suitable candidates for the Goddess Vera role.” The secretary sneakily observed the girl, quickly looked away, and then quickly composed herself, “Miss Luwei is the number one socialite of Shanghai and is also a pianist, she’s quite fitting.”

She wasn’t from Shanghai; she had been transferred from the capital because Chuguang Media had changed their Chief Executive.

Before this, the secretary had learned a bit about Ying Luwei and found that the Shanghai’s top socialite was indeed quite suited to play Vera Hall.

She was a pianist and came from a noble family.

Flipping through photos of female actresses under Chuguang Media, Ying Zijin, upon hearing this, didn’t even look up: “She has body odor.”

The secretary was baffled: “???”
