Chapter 401 Cameo?
Wang Ke poured three glasses of wine for Liu Xixi.
Liu Xixi didn’t want to drink them, but for the sake of resources, she drank them reluctantly. “Good drinking! Xixi, I heard that you have been filming a movie recently. I heard that you are very likely to win an award. We will have to rely on you to become famous in the future. Don’t forget about us after you win an award.” Wang Ke smiled.
“Of course not, Director Wang. I heard that you are filming a suspense drama recently. Do you think I can have a bite?”
Liu Xixi smiled and looked at the person beside her. She was a little anxious because of Lan Yanran’s presence. She wasn’t mentally prepared yet to exact her plan and it was awkward to talk to Lan Yanran because of what happened previously. This awkwardness was present now.
“I’ve booked the female lead this time, but I’ll definitely find you next time.”
Wang Ke declined. Liu Xixi sat down and touched Wang Ke’s leg dishonestly, while smiling.
“Director Wang, the lead can be changed before the cameras start rolling. My ability and popularity are the best. Why don’t you consider me? I can definitely earn you some money.”
Liu Xixi smiled.
Director Wang looked down at Liu Xixi’s hand and smiled. “Xixi, I know you have acting skills, but our movie needs a female lead with a sexy style. You have always had a pure image, so this movie isn’t suitable for you. Besides, the female lead’s age is fixed to a high school student, maybe next time.”
Wang Ke moved to the side quietly. There were many female actors who were willing to sacrifice their bodies for resources, but he didn’t buy it.
When Lan Yanran saw this, he could only remain silent, but his heart was full of rejection for his former idol.
How glamorous she was on screen was how disgusting she was behind it.
At this moment, Li Ming saw Liu Xixi’s hand underneath the table and smiled.
“Xixi, I have a new movie that lacks actresses, why don’t you…”
His gaze hinted at Liu Xixi to adapt to the situation. Some wouldn’t fall for her tricks, while others would.
Liu Xixi quickly smiled.
“Director Li, what is the genre of your movie?” Liu Xixi looked at his lecherous appearance and didn’t want to take up his offer of a role. Everyone in the circle knew that Li Ming was a lecherous man who liked to take advantage of actresses during filming. Many female celebrities had been tortured and the scenes he filmed were mostly outrageous, but he had indeed raised many big stars.
“It’s a period drama, see if you’re interested, as I’m short of people.”
Li Ming raised his glass and smiled.
“Director Li, why didn’t we hear that you had a new show you’ll be filming? Why didn’t you tell us? Aren’t you being too biased?”
The person who spoke was Director Huang Delong. “Director Huang, I’ve only just had the idea about the show. Aren’t I here to find actors?”
Li Ming smiled.
Lan Yanran took the opportunity to interrupt them with a smile.
“Director Wang, I think I can give that suspense drama a try.”
“Don’t worry, you’ll definitely get a role. I originally wanted to get in touch with you for the male lead role, but since you’re here now, I can confirm that if you want it you have the role.”
Wang Ke raised his glass and promised.
In fact, aside from his identity as Mo Jinrong’s brother-in-law, his popularity and acting skills were top-notch. In addition to his handsome appearance and obedient personality, he was the perfect candidate for the role. When Liu Xixi saw that Lan Yanran had succeeded and she had no results, she felt a little jealous and leaned over to say something.
“Director Wang, aren’t you being biased? He only spoke a few sentences and you gave him the role? Who exactly is this female lead? How much money did she give you to make you so determined?”
Wang Ming’s expression was dark and he was furious.
“Chen Yu is the star of the show. You should know that her family is rich, pretty, and capable. Her family is the investor of the show and is well-known in the industry, but some people are different.”
Some people?
He spoke as though everyone had money. Was it a big deal to not have money?
Liu Xixi gritted her teeth in anger, but she didn’t dare to voice out her anger and could only keep it in her heart.
Even if she couldn’t get the first female lead position, she could still get the second female lead role.
“Director Wang, since the first female lead is confirmed, I can take on the role of the second female lead then. As long as there’s a chance, I won’t be picky. Due to the competitive entertainment industry, it’s good enough for me to have a role, I won’t expect too much.”
Liu Xixi was still smiling. “There isn’t a second female lead in this movie, but if you really want to act in it, I have a plan. This movie lacks a cameo and I’m looking for someone to act in it. Would you be willing?”
Wang Ke smiled.
He couldn’t stand Liu Xixi’s chatter, it was good enough to give her a cameo.
“A cameo? How many scenes are there?” Liu Xixi’s expression changed and her smile faded.
She was a popular celebrity, how could she be in a cameo?
“The first and last episodes will be filled with your scenes, and there will be scenes in the middle too. All of your appearances will add up to two or three episodes.” Wang Ke calculated.
Two to three episodes?
Who is he dismissing?
Did he think she was a silly little celebrity?
“Director Wang, isn’t there anything else? Isn’t it inappropriate to act in a cameo with my current identity?”
Liu Xixi forced a smile.
“No, I’m thinking of treating this movie as my retirement work. I’m not going to do directing anymore after this, I’m too old to work.”
Wang Ke smiled.
The others at the table looked at each other and smiled. After Wang Ke retired, the movie market would be theirs.
“Director Wang, you’re retiring? I heard that your son has given birth to a grandson for you. Are you going back to take care of the child?”
Liu Feng smiled.
Wang Ke nodded with a smile.
He was almost sixty and it was time to retire. “Xixi, you debuted in a female group, so I suggest you run more variety shows. The television drama and movie market is saturated, this way you can still act after a few years later.
If you really want to act in a television drama, I have a show, since Director Wang won’t be able to give you a role, but the male lead is a little outdated and the main leads are newbies. If you join, you will be the female lead. What do you think?”
Zhao Jun raised his glass and smiled.
He was a big-bellied man with short hair, glasses, and a cigar in his left hand. He wore a jade ring and necklace, making him look very generous Luka a Buddha.
“Brother Zhao, why did you spend so much effort to make a television drama like this? You’re going to lose money if it doesn’t become popular.”
Wang Ke smiled.

Zhao Jun shook his head and took a deep breath with worry. “Well, recently, the funders came to me and they spent money to get me to make a movie for their son. The male lead is their son, but I’ve sought out many people for the female lead, but they haven’t succeeded. Xixi, can you see if you can agree?” Liu Xixi pouted. She was a popular celebrity and her fans would scold her if she accepted such a role. She might as well make the cameo.
“Director Zhao, I don’t have much time. I can squeeze out a few days to make a guest appearance in Director Wang’s movie but I won’t be acting in any other shows for the time being.”
She declined politely.
Lan Yanran didn’t speak at the side, but he was cursing in his heart.
Why is he so unlucky to work with her?
His worst nightmare had come true…
He wanted to reject the role for the suspense drama now, but he couldn’t bring himself to do so at a party.
In order to avoid seeing her, he deliberately rejected the role from a good drama. Now that he thought about it, he regretted it.
“Director Zhao, I’m interested in your drama. Can you send me the script?” Lan Yanran thought for a moment and said.
