Chapter 237
Director Cheng knew a bit about Ruan Tian’s personality. She was a strong and stubborn woman, and he knew it would be impossible for her to lower her head and apologize when she hadn’t done anything wrong.
After hearing these unreasonable conditions, he just slowly nodded and said, "I see."
In the end, Director Cheng wasn’t the only person who had a voice when it came to making “his” movie. The words of the investors weren’t light and couldn’t just be ignored.
And between Ji Wangjiang and Ruan Tian, he would choose Ji Wangjiang without hesitation.
Therefore, once the conversation was done, Director Cheng immediately picked up his phone and directly called Ruan Tian's agent, Jiang Lili. He told her that Ruan Tian no longer needed to come to the set for filming.
Jiang Lili was stunned and, before she even had time to ask what was going on, Director Cheng had already hung up the phone.
Jiang Lili quickly picked up her bag and hurriedly drove to Ruan Tian's house.
She was so worried that she felt the elevator was too slow, so she directly rushed up using the stairs.
Ruan Tian opened the door when she heard knocking and found her friend outside, looking to be in a great hurry. She was surprised and asked, “What’s going on?”
Jiang Lili took two deep breaths and then said slowly, "I need to tell you something. Don't panic."
"Erm… go ahead."
"Your role in Director Cheng’s movie has been ruined."
"..."
Jiang Lili was a bit afraid that this blow would be too much for Ruan Tian. After all, she knew that her friend had attached a lot of importance to this role these days, she had been able to see it in her eyes.
Ruan Tian had been working on it a lot, trying to get a feel for her character and analyze the character’s psychology.
Basically, she had been working very hard ever since she had passed the audition, but now she had been suddenly informed it was for nothing. Jiang Lili knew it would be hard for her friend to accept.
Ruan Tian immediately became very calm. She asked, “It’s Ji Wangjiang playing tricks?"
Jiang Lili nodded. "It should be him."
Ruan Tian spat: "He’s dead."
Such a weak tolerance, what kind of star was he! ! !
Jiang Lili unconsciously gulped and moistened her throat, then said, "On the way here, I helped you ask the director about what was going on and he told me that Ji Wangjiang's team took a very tough stance, really not willing to give an inch. They directly gave him an ultimatum saying it was either him or you.”
And, of course, when only able to choose one of the two actors, Ruan Tian would always be the one left out.
Ruan Tian frowned. She actually really liked the character she would be playing this time. But now, before she could even begin, she already had to say goodbye? She felt very unwilling.
She wasn’t quite ready to give up, she asked, “Is there really nothing we can do?"
Jiang Lili hesitated, "It seems that Ji Wangjiang said that as long as you are willing to admit your mistakes and apologize to him, then they will... ****! I really can't go on..."
Even trying to repeat those shameless words really pissed her off.
Ruan Tian snickered and said, "He should just hurry up and die!"
Jiang Lili had already guessed her friend’s reaction, so she could only sigh.
But then, after pondering for a few minutes, Ruan Tian said, "If I invite him out to dinner, doesn’t that count as an apology? They say that real men can stretch and bend according to the circumstances, so I suppose I can too."
Back then, just how many times had she been forced to apologize to that dog man, Qin Yu? !
When she had been working in the milk tea shop, how many times had she been forced to apologize for random reasons like “the tea isn’t sweet enough”?
Or when she had been working at the convenience store, how many times had she been forced to humbly admit her mistake when the instant noodles he liked were out of stock?
Come to think of it, it seemed Qin Yu had actually done her a good turn back then. He had at least tempered her willpower.
Jiang Lili suspected something was wrong with her hearing. She couldn’t help but ask incredulously. “Are you sure?"
Ruan Tian replied coolly, "Yes. I'll apologize."
She could apologize. It wasn’t much. She could even apologize a hundred times if that was what he wanted.
Jiang Lili was still in a state of disbelief, but Ruan Tian had already called Director Cheng to talk about setting up the dinner.
When Ji Wangjiang and his team got the news that Ruan Tian was willing to bow her head, they were more than happy to agree to the meal. They immediately decided on the most upscale five-star hotel in Beijing which was renowned for its excellent protection of its guests’ information as the setting.
