"If he doesn't play the leading actress, I will refuse to sign the contract."
Just as Song Ziyi was feeling sad, Ding Ning's faint voice came.
The scene was dead silent in an instant. Everyone looked at Ding Ning incredulously, and there was only one thought in their mind. "Is he crazy?"
Song Ziyi opened her mouth in astonishment, revealing her snow-white teeth. She looked at Ding Ning incredulously, and her mind was in a mess. "What does he mean?" "Does he play the leading actor for me?"
"No, it's impossible. Although he has saved me several times, we don't have any relationship. Maybe he only takes care of me for the sake of Rourou and Xiaoyao."
Pan Yigang's face was livid, and his eyes instantly became cold. His chest rose and fell rapidly, and he gnashed his teeth and said, "Mr. Ding, do you know what you are talking about?"
"I know very well. If Director Pan didn't hear me clearly, I can say it again. If he is not the leading actress, I will not sign the contract."
Ding Ning crossed his legs and said with a calm expression.
What a joke. One of the reasons why he was willing to act was to protect Song Ziyi. If she did not play the leading actress, why would he act?
Although he needed a large amount of reputation now, he had countless ways to become famous in addition to acting. Acting was not his only way.
Of course, acting could maximize his popularity and increase his reputation. After all, the base number of people who paid attention to stars was much larger than the base number of people who paid attention to a drug developer.
For example, he now had tens of millions of fans, and he was definitely one of the best in the medical field. But Diba, who was only a quasi-A-list star, had more than 30 million fans. It was said that Yang Mi's fans had exceeded an astonishing nine digits and reached hundreds of millions.
This was the public effect and charm of a star, which was far from what celebrities in other industries could compare with.
"Mr. Ding, I don't deny that your acting skills are beyond my expectations, and I also hope that you can play the leading actor. But if you think that this role has to be played by you, I think you are thinking too much."
Pan Yigang was so angry that he laughed and said aggressively.
"The Earth won't stop spinning no matter who's missing. I've never felt that Director Pan's film had to be me, so Director Pan naturally has more choices."
Ding Ning said indifferently, "I don't have any requirements, and I can even agree to your overbearing clause. But there is only one condition. The heroine must be played by Miss Song. Otherwise, I will never sign this contract."
"Ding Ning!"
Sun Lanying shouted anxiously. She did not understand why Ding Ning was so stupid to agree to such harsh conditions. Did he like Song Ziyi? This thought made her feel sour and uncomfortable.
Wen Rourou, Xiaoyao, Ye Huan, and the others looked at each other and seemed to suddenly understand why Ding Ning wanted to act whimsically. They could not help but show a wry smile on their faces. "Our man really does everything to pick up girls."
Jiang Yimeng's pupils shrank slightly. She took a deep look at Song Ziyi and inexplicably felt a trace of envy in her heart.
Although Bai Qing treated her well, he would never openly express his deep love for her in public like Ding Ning did. She could only be his secret lover in this life. How could she not feel sad when compared with him?
Sister Lan and other agents were even more stunned and looked at Song Ziyi with shock and envy. They knew best what it meant for Director Pan to shoot a commercial TV series for the first time and what a sensation it would cause in the film and television circle.
Presumably, even the Best Actor and Best Actress would be willing to lower their status to play the leading role. Ding Ning chose to give up such a rare opportunity for Song Ziyi without hesitation. How could they not be shocked and envious of his courage to fly into a rage for a beauty?
Yang Mi and the others looked at Ding Ning with complicated expressions. As Song Ziyi's good friend, they certainly hoped that she could enter Director Pan's crew and play the female lead. However, as women, it was impossible for them not to feel a little jealous.
It was not that they fell in love with Ding Ning, but that women were emotional creatures, and no one would not want such a romantic scene to happen to them.
Diba, in particular, had a good talk with Ding Ning before. Although she did not think that she would have any feelings for him and was just a friend who could get along well with him, when she saw that Ding Ning was willing to give up such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Song Ziyi, she could not help but feel a strong sense of loss.
As for Song Ziyi, she was not moved but horrified. She had comforted herself before that Ding Ning took care of her just because of her friendship with Wen Rourou and Xiaoyao, but at this moment, she could no longer deceive herself and others that Ding Ning really had no feelings for her.
"Ding … Mr. Ding, thank you for saving my life and for your kindness."
Song Ziyi took a deep breath, glanced at Ding Ning apologetically, turned around, bowed deeply to Director Pan, and said in a resolute tone, "Director Pan, scriptwriter Cheng, Producer Wang, I'm sorry. It's all because of me that things have become like this. I'm very sorry for the trouble I've caused you. I will take the initiative to quit the crew. Thank you for your care during this time."
Before everyone could react, Song Ziyi gave Yang Mi a sweet smile and said, "Sister Mi, you came all the way to see me, and I can't refuse to be a good host, can I? Let's go, I'll treat you to karaoke. "
Although Yang Mi felt pity for Song Ziyi, she was a smart person and knew that it was better not to talk too much at this time. She stood up with a smile, nodded politely to Ouyang Yuntian, Director Pan, and others with a smile, and reached out her hand to Ding Ning, saying politely, "Thank you for the dinner party. The food was very good. I hope that you will have the opportunity to go to Yan Jing one day and let me have the opportunity to be a good host."
With a lazy smile on his face, Ding Ning shook hands with her and said, "Okay, I will definitely contact you at that time!"
"And me, don't forget me. You left me your phone number. Call me at that time, and I will treat you to a good meal."
Diba interjected with a grin.
Ding Ning patted his forehead, directly ignored Song Ziyi's complicated eyes, and said with a smile, "Are you going back to Yan Jing tomorrow? If not, I will call you tomorrow morning. "
Only then did Diba remember what Ding Ning had promised her. She immediately beamed with joy and waved her hand generously. "No matter how important it is, it is not as important as you. Don't worry, I will definitely not leave tomorrow. I will wait for your call."
Yang Mi's face was full of black lines. Even if this girl liked this guy, she didn't have to be so obvious. If this was spread out, it would be a big scandal, especially in front of Song Ziyi. Wasn't this a drama of two women fighting for a husband?
However, if Diba could really be a couple with him, did this mean that she might be able to poach this newcomer with unlimited potential to her studio?
Thinking of this, Yang Mi secretly glanced at Song Ziyi. Seeing that she was expressionless and did not even look at Ding Ning, she sighed in her heart and simply pretended not to hear anything. She began to pick up her coat and bag and was ready to leave.
Although she and Song Ziyi were friends, compared to their close relationship, it was obvious that Diba, who was signed under her company, was closer to her. Moreover, Song Ziyi did not care about Ding Ning at all, so it was better to let Diba have her way.
Diba had a carefree personality and didn't think too much about it. How could he know that the ambiguity in her words had already caused everyone to misunderstand? He even smiled and gestured for her to make a phone call, then happily went to put on his coat and bag.
In this way, the most embarrassed people on the scene were Director Pan and the other two. They watched helplessly as the female lead directly quit the group, and the male lead even directly refused to act in the role with a clear attitude. How could they endure this? It was not right to leave, but it was also wrong to stay. Their faces became as ugly as possible.
"By the way, Ziyi, keep your phone on. I will call you later, and we will go to pick up your brother together."
Just after Yang Mi and the others bid farewell to Xiaoyao and the others and stepped out of the room, Ding Ning said slowly.
Song Ziyi's face changed. She suddenly turned to look at Ding Ning, frowned tightly, and said with a cold look in her eyes, "What do you mean?"
"Nothing. Your brother and your future sister-in-law are here, but now they still have something to do, so they can meet you later."
Ding Ning leisurely took out a cigarette, lit it, and said naturally.
"You, you are despicable!"
The anger in Song Ziyi's heart suddenly rose, and she gnashed her teeth and said.
Her brother was her only relative in the world and also her biggest weakness. Because she had seen those Yanjing Childes seeing Ding Ning off at the Yanjing airport, she had always thought that he was the kind of playboy she hated the most who played with women.
With this preconceived idea, she subconsciously thought that Ding Ning was the same as Kang Hua, who kidnapped her brother and future sister-in-law to force her to give in.
Ding Ning was stunned for a moment and then realized that she had misunderstood him. But when he thought that he had done so much for her and that he was such an unbearable image in her mind, he suddenly lost the mood to explain and waved his hand with flagging interest. "Whatever you think. Take care. I won't see you off!"
Ding Ning's reaction was beyond Song Ziyi's expectation. He wanted to turn around and leave angrily, but when he thought that his brother and sister-in-law were still in his hands, he really dared not to turn around and leave. For a moment, he did not know whether to leave or stay and was in a dilemma.
Yang Mi frowned slightly. Although she did not know what happened, Song Ziyi's reaction was obviously abnormal. She whispered in her ear in a very considerate manner, "Ziyi, let's not go to play tonight. We are tired after a busy day. Let's go back to the hotel and have a rest first. If there is anything else, we can talk about it tomorrow."
Song Ziyi thought for a while and it seemed that this was the only way. She took Yang Mi's hand apologetically and said, "Sister Mi, I'm really sorry. I still have something to deal with now. You came here as soon as you got out of the airport. You haven't arranged a hotel yet, right? I'll ask someone to arrange a hotel for you now. Sister Hua, Hua …"
Song Ziyi habitually called Sister Hua and wanted her to arrange a hotel. After calling her twice, she suddenly remembered that Sister Hua had been fired. She immediately laughed at herself and said, "Look at my bad memory. Sister Hua has already left, and there is no one to arrange things."
"Let Sister Lan arrange it, Ziyi!"
Jiang Yimeng suddenly said. She was a person with no great wisdom but petty cleverness. Previously, she only knew that Song Ziyi was arranged by Bai Qing, but she did not know that Song Ziyi had a relationship with Ding Ning. Otherwise, she would never allow her subordinates to have friction with Song Ziyi. Now that there was a chance to repair the relationship, she naturally would not miss it.
"Then I'll have to trouble Yimeng and Sister Lan."
Song Ziyi glanced at Jiang Yimeng gratefully and thanked them sincerely.
"We are on the same side. You don't need to be polite."
Sister Lan said warmly and familiarly.
But she was very happy in her heart. Sister Hua's contract was terminated, and the company would definitely arrange a new agent for Song Ziyi. If she, a top agent, could become Song Ziyi's agent, her status would also rise to a higher level, so she must take the opportunity to leave a good impression on Song Ziyi.
