Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Pan Miao looked at the woman sitting beside Hao Wen.

Although Lu Zhen had debuted for many years, she was only 18 years old this year. She was considered very young in the entertainment industry.

Pan Miao was already 26 years old this year. If she could not get a prestigious award before the age of 30, she would probably gradually lose a lot of good resources after the age of 30.

The entertainment industry had always been a very cruel place. There were many young and beautiful newcomers. No matter how good their mentality was, they would still be afraid that they would be squeezed out by others one day.

“99 Love Letters” was a work that Pan Miao attached great importance to. She knew that Jiang Wen was preparing to use this movie to fight for an award. She also hoped that she could use this movie to win the Best Actress award. In that case, her value would at least double.

Under such circumstances, Pan Miao naturally did not want the other actresses in the movie to steal her limelight.

However, the woman sitting beside Hao Wen was so young and beautiful. Even if she just sat there and did not say a word, everyone around her could not help but look at her.

Compared to Lu Zhen, Pan Miao looked so ordinary.

How could Pan Miao not be enraged and jealous?

Pan Miao took a deep breath and suppressed the negative emotions in her heart, maintaining the perfect smile on her face.

She comforted herself: Fortunately, Lu Zhen left after this meal. She won’t appear in the group photo of the production team, nor will she appear during the publicity of the movie. After the movie is released, the company will help her market the popularity.

No matter how popular Lu Zhen was, she was only a supporting character who had appeared for less than half a minute. She would not be able to steal the audience’s attention so easily.

While eating, Lu Zhen also felt that Pan Miao was not looking at her kindly, but she did not care about this. After dinner, Lu Zhen prepared to leave. Director Jiang Wen suddenly stopped her. “Zhenzhen, wait.”

Lu Zhen turned around. “Director Jiang, what’s wrong?”

Jiang Wen smiled at Lu Zhen and said, “I heard that you’re preparing to film

Director Ding Zhi’s ‘Beauty’ next, right?”

“That’s right. We’ll start filming after the new year.”

“As you know, Ding Zhi and I are old rivals. Five years ago, his work, ‘When the Bright Moon Appears’, took away three of the Hundred Flowers Awards. I didn’t expect that an actor who left my production team would actually become the female lead of his movie.

Lu Zhen had also heard of the feud between Ding Zhi and Tiang Wen. She

smiled gently. “Perhaps you’re going to win a round this year, Director Jiang. ’99 Love Letters’ is an outstanding work. I believe it will definitely surprise the audience. Moreover, I want to say something bold. I think the competition between you and Director Ding is a good thing for the audience. You both want to film a better movie than the other party, so the audience can see more domestic movies.”

“Kid, you only know how to say nice words to make me happy.” Jiang Wen laughed out loud. “I want to tell you that I hope you can perform well in the production team of ‘Beauty’. Also, I have to remind you that Director Ding Zhi has a very strange personality. He might ask a lot of things of you during the filming process. You have to be mentally prepared.”

Lu Zhen nodded seriously. She was very grateful to Director Jiang Wen for telling her this. “I will. Thank you for your reminder.”

After leaving the restaurant where the wrap-up banquet was held, Lu Zhen thought of some things that happened in her previous life when she filmed the movie “Beauty”.

Director Ding Zhi was indeed a very eccentric director.

What scared the actors the most was that he was a director with no standing.

Why did she say that? Because in Ding Zhi’s movies, the relationship between the protagonist and the supporting character was never fixed. Perhaps an actor was the protagonist of the movie at the beginning, but during the filming process, Ding Zhi might adjust the protagonist and the supporting character’s scenes because of his mood.

After the movie was aired, it was very likely that the scenes of the main lead would not be as many as a small supporting role.

Many investors did not like to invest in Ding Zhi’s movies. This was because Ding Zhi’s willfulness filled his movies with uncertainty. He had some extremely exciting good works, such as “When the Bright Moon Appears”. There were also lousy movies that were so bad that they made more than a million viewers give them a one-star bad review.

Some famous actors also did not like working with Ding Zhi. Some actors even publicly said that they would never film his scenes again in their lives after working with him..
