Chapter 263: Meeting an Acquaintance
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The crew of Hunting Allure officially started its second round of production a week later. The female lead was changed from Guan Meiyi to someone else, so everything that was shot before had to be thrown out and redone.
Zhang Heng was feeling very motivated, because that time he had picked the female lead himself. There were no hidden rules, no top-down decision, and no bribery. The decision was made purely based on acting skills.
Guan Meiyi, after the whole series of events, had completely disappeared from the public eye. Even the Ling Family was cut out. Madam Ling once tried to reach out to her, after all Guan Meiyi was a granddaughter that she had adored from childhood. The person who answered Madam Ling’s call was a servant of the Guan Family, who made an excuse for Guan Meiyi and hung up on her.
It seemed that the Guans had no intention of having any relationship with the Lings anymore. Even Guan Meiyi was banned from having any contact with the Lings.
Because of Ruan Zeyan’s attitude, Zhang Ke had been handling everything in the preparation phase on behalf of Ling Tianya. It was the first day of the second round of production, and Ling Tianya had to make a personal appearance being the screenwriter.
The studio was the same one as before, and the security guard at the entrance was still the same dark-skinned man who gave Huang Yuqing a hard time. When he saw Ling Tianya, the security guard greeted her with a sincere voice. His attitude never changed because in the eyes of the dark-skinned man, Ling Tianya was no different from him, a person who was making a living with honest work.
Ling Tianya and Zhang Ke walked into the studio on foot, and every staff member would come up and greet them warmly.
Things had changed. Ling Tianya was no longer simply the screenwriter of the TV series. She was also the investor’s fiancée, his future wife!
Zhang Ke helplessly watched the people who came up one by one and almost wanted to hug Ling Tianya and call her ‘mother’.
Back when Hunting Allure was in its first production, their attitude was completely different. Obviously, people were used to picking sides and kissing asses. From that point of view, the only person that had not changed was the security guard.
Zhang Heng saw the casually-dressed Ling Tianya from far away. He hurried over excitedly. Just when he got in front of Ling Tianya, he suddenly remembered something and jumped back a big step, keeping at least a yard of distance between them.
Ling Tianya was surprised, “Director? What are you doing so far from me?”
Zhang Heng’s face twitched. “I… I caught a cold…”
Who was he kidding? Before the kick off, the producer, Mr. Wang, had deliberately asked him to keep his distance from Ling Tianya, otherwise someone would be upset.
He was fully aware that it was not an easy affair that the production of the TV series was rebooted. How could Zhang Heng dare to make someone unhappy again?
“Oh, do you need to take a break?” Ling Tianya asked.
Zhang Heng shook his head. “No, I am fine.”
“Director Zhang, this must be our screenwriter?” At that moment, a beautiful voice sounded next to the two.
Ling Tianya followed the voice and saw a slim and beautiful woman standing there.
The woman was wearing a costume, the plain color complimenting her pale skin, which made her look entirely elegant and refined. She had a pair of big animated big eyes, as if they were able to speak.
“Oh, Miss Ling, this is the new female lead, Yi Tian.” Zhang Heng introduced them.
Yi Tian lowered her head slightly out of respect and politely reached out her hand. “Miss Ling, how do you do? I have always admired your work. I am your loyal fan!”
Ling Tianya shook her hands and answered casually. “Thank you, I hope we can have a pleasant collaboration.”
“Yeah!” Yi Tian smiled and nodded. Then, Yi Tian’s agent walked out of the lounge, holding a cup of bird’s nest soup in her hand. “Here, have some bird’s nest soup.”
Ling Tianya looked at the agent and sneered lightly. The agent was no one else but Li Fei, the former agent of Guan Meiyi.
