"Come on, Mr. Wang, can't we just go discuss things at the hotel later..."
The woman in sunglasses hurriedly clung to Mr. Wang's arm and said coquettishly. Then, her gaze shifted to a spot not far away where a crowd had gathered.
"What's happening over there?"
The middle-aged bald man, Mr. Wang, also noticed the scene and turned his gaze over.
"Wow, is that girl doing a cosplay?"
"So beautiful, just like someone who stepped out of a TV drama..."
"Must be some costume drama star, but why haven't I seen her before..."
"..."
At the entrance of the building, some passersby who saw Zilan all turned their gazes to her, and quite a few took out their phones to take pictures.
"Oh, it's just a little girl playing cosplay. Nowadays, these young girls with dreams of stardom play cosplay to garner attention."
The sunglasses woman Zhou Lina frowned and said. No one was paying attention to her, the sunglass-wearing starlet, instead focusing on a young girl playing cosplay, which naturally made Zhou Lina a bit displeased.
However, in her heart, she had to admit that Zilan was pretty, bright-eyed and elegant, just like a girl from a traditional painting, without any sense of incongruity.
"Mr. Wang, let's go to the hotel..."
Zhou Lina's gaze shifted, seeing Mr. Wang's eyes fixed on Zilan, her face dropped instantly.
"We can go to the hotel later. Let's go meet this young girl first."
Mr. Wang waved his hand, his eyes brightened, still glued to Zilan.
"Oh, what's so interesting about a little girl...?"
Zhou Lina was immediately a bit displeased and tugged on Mr. Wang's arm, huffing with a coquettish voice, but Mr. Wang had already brushed her off, walking towards the direction of Zilan and the others.
"Damn, this old pervert."
Zhou Lina stamped her foot indignantly, but the investment for this costume drama exceeded billions, not a small amount. She couldn't give up on the role of the second female lead. To secure more screen time, she had to keep Mr. Wang happy, so Zhou Lina followed.
Seeing the crowd growing larger, Qin Yang frowned.
"Qin Yang, let's go."
Zilan said helplessly, as she had sneaked out without preparing extra clothes.
"Mm."
Qin Yang nodded.
"Wait a minute."
Just as the three were about to get into the car, a portly figure pushed through the crowd, approaching Zilan.
"Hmm? Do you need something?"
Zilan paused, looking at the chubby middle-aged man in confusion.
"Miss, hello. I'm Wang Dahai, the Deputy General Manager of Shenghai Film and Television Company."
Wang Dahai puffed his chest and said.
These little girls with dreams of stardom, upon hearing he was from a film company, which of them wouldn't be excited, rushing forward?
So after introducing himself, Wang Dahai didn't say much more, instead assessing Zilan. Up close, her exquisite oval face still showed no trace of imperfection.
"Wang Dahai? What do you want?"
Zilan furrowed her delicate eyebrows.
Seeing Zilan's lack of reaction, Wang Dahai's expression froze for a moment, then he pulled a business card from his suit pocket and handed it to Zilan.
"Here's the thing. Our Shenghai Film and Television Company is currently preparing to shoot a large costume drama. I wonder if Miss is interested; I might be able to get you a role."
Wang Dahai dangled the lure, thinking for these young girls, having a role was exhilarating enough. With his influence, he could surely arrange a minor role. However, he only said he might arrange something, leaving the rest for these young girls to try their best to win him over.
"Hehe, acting? Not fun, not interested."
Zilan shook her head directly, not even taking the business card. As for the Mortal Realm's dramas, she'd seen them, finding them incredibly fake.
Upon hearing this, Wang Dahai's expression shifted slightly. In this day and age, there's still a young girl who'd refuse a chance to get on screen and become a star?
Oh, she must be doubting his identity. After all, there were quite a few scams posing as film companies these days.
"Lina, come over here."
Wang Dahai's plump hand tugged Wang Lina over from nearby.
"This is Miss Zhou Lina. You should know her, right? She's one of the stars in this upcoming costume drama."
Wang Dahai introduced Zilan.
Despite a tinge of reluctance, Zhou Lina removed her sunglasses to not embarrass Wang Dahai.
"Young lady, an opportunity to get on screen is rare, and acting alongside me isn't something that happens often."
Zhou Lina looked Zilan up and down, a touch of superiority appearing on her face.
"Hmm? Why is acting with you not something that happens often? Is it because no one wants to act with you?"
Zilan's bright eyes blinked as she glanced at Zhou Lina with a hint of playful mischief.
Hearing Zilan's words, Zhou Lina's expression turned unpleasant, realizing the girl in front of her truly didn't recognize her.
Instantly, Zhou Lina was a bit exasperated, shifting her gaze to Qin Yang, who was watching her. This guy should have watched her dramas, right?
"You, tell her who I am, what I've acted in."
Zhou Lina pointed at Qin Yang and said.
Qin Yang, of course, hadn't watched many dramas. Who knew who this woman was or what she had acted in? Feeling a bit speechless, he said, "Who you are, well, didn't that chubby guy just introduce you? Called you Zhou Lina. As for what you've acted in, you'd have to tell us yourself."
"You...!"
Upon hearing Qin Yang's words, Zhou Lina's face turned even darker, gritting her teeth in frustration.
Even though she had acted in some dramas, she'd never really gained much recognition. The most annoying part was not being recognized on the streets, and here stood a guy who clearly didn't know her at all.
"Haha, young lady, not recognizing me isn't an issue. When this drama is finished, we'll all know each other. Moreover, if you become popular through this role, you could instantly become a star. By then, invitations will flood in, and you could earn millions or even tens of millions annually, no more of this cosplay business."
Wang Dahai smiled broadly, painting a grand picture for Zilan.
"Only tens of millions? My pocket money is more than that, not interested."
Zilan shook her head, completely indifferent, then turned her beautiful eyes to Qin Yang and Ruan Xinxue, saying, "Qin Yang, Xinxue, let's go."
"Mm, okay."
Qin Yang nodded.
"Wow, pocket money in the tens of millions, today's young girls really know how to brag."
Zhou Lina's mouth twitched, sneering disdainfully.
