Chapter 299 She Never Expected to Be Rejected
Upon hearing this, Qian Shuyun replied, "Okay."
Jiang Mubai took Wu You and personally sent them downstairs. After watching them leave in the car, he turned back to the office.
"Are you satisfied with the script I sent you before? Forget it, even if you are satisfied, you won't agree now. You have agreed to participate in the behind-the-scenes of the movie like last time, so you definitely don't have time to take care of these. Let me tell you, are you really more interested in the behind-the-scenes than acting?"
"Ah."
"Are you sure you haven't lost your ambition because you've been at home for too long? If that's the case, I have a lot of brand endorsements here, and I can't stand seeing you like this."
"Isn't it good to be behind the scenes? Even though it's a little tiring, it's just as tiring to be an actor filming. I think being behind the scenes is a good choice."
Manman had never discussed this matter with Jiang Mubai before. Seeing that everyone was talking about it today, she decided to ask for clarification.
"Can the behind-the-scenes be compared with the front stage? The only difference is that actors earn more money. And it's a pity for you not to act with your conditions. If your fans knew about it, they would cry to death."
Seeing Jiang Mubai didn't say anything, "Tell me seriously, are you really thinking this? I'm not kidding. I'm asking you seriously this time, think carefully and answer me."
"There are no good scripts right now. I can't possibly shoot a crappy movie, right? So I can only stay at home. You know my personality and I can't sit still. Someone just wants to adapt a novel, so I want to learn from them, right?"
Seeing that Jiang Mubai didn't insist on going behind the scenes, Manman felt relieved.
"This is how the industry is. You have to wait for good scripts but you don't know when you'll get them. You can continue to be active on TV even if you make bad movies, but your reputation will be ruined. Your industry is not easy either."
"That is to say, I don't know how long I will have to wait for the book. I don't know if my fans and audiences will still buy into it if it comes out in three to five years."
"I'm not worried about you in this regard. After all, we are talented, not like those traffic stars. I'm just worried that you won't be able to find a good script and that would be frustrating."
Manman suddenly thought of something and patted her thigh.
"If there's no good script, we can create our own! Any story in your novel can be made into a movie, and then we can act in it ourselves, right?"
"I think this is a good idea. The more I think about it, the more feasible it seems to me."
"Acting in a movie adapted from his own novel, this sounds like a very confident person, but I don't think it's a good idea, or maybe forget it, there's no role for a heroine in my story."
"What's the big deal? Jiang Mubai is already an incredible figure in the entertainment industry. Are you afraid of what others say? If there's nothing in the novel, we can create it! You are the original author of the novel. Isn't this something that can be written in a few minutes?"
Jiang Mubai was confused by Manman's words. "I need to think about this matter again. You can talk to me after I think it through. Besides, it's not that easy for us to make a movie ourselves. Don't we have to find investors? Don't we have to go out and find actors? There are so many things involved that you just don't see them."
After hearing what Jiang Mubai said, Manman began to feel discouraged. Perhaps she didn't get involved and thought that this matter was really as she imagined.
But she didn't want to discourage Jiang Mubai, so she could only pretend that nothing had happened, "I can help you with this matter. We have a good position in the industry now, so there's nothing to worry about. Besides, we have Teacher Cheng here."
"You should go back and think about it carefully. If you figure it out, we can slowly start preparing."
Jiang Mubai was still dizzy as she drove back alone. Manman's words lingered in her mind for a long time. She was a little moved at first, but after calming down, she felt that this was not a good idea.
Anyway, she didn't know what to do now, so she just didn't want to put these annoying things aside. She would wait and read while walking. She was mainly worried that during this period, some good books would come to her. She just didn't want to miss it.
"Sister Mu Bai, you're back. How did the conversation go today?"
"Okay, we'll go sign the contract in a few days."
"Are you going to join the group and participate in the whole process now? Should I still stay at home?"
"Well, you don't have to stay home. I'll give you paid leave. You can travel wherever you want or whatever."
"Really? Then I'm really tempted. Let me know when you're going to join the group. I'm worried about you ordering takeout every day when you're at home."
“It probably won’t be that fast.”
Jiang Mubai said this, but she didn't expect that her partner this time would be so efficient. She received Qian Shuyun's script the next afternoon.
After reading it, Jiang Mubai expressed his satisfaction. There were few places that needed to be modified, but there were some. Once Qian Shuyun fixed the problems and sent it to Jiang Mubai, it would be perfect.
Jiang Mubai had come to understand Qian Shuyun's strength, and she became more determined to become friends with her.
After finishing the business talk, Jiang Mubai invited her out but was rejected by Qian Shuyun in a very rude way.
Jiang Mubai didn't react for a moment, and ended up checking the two words several times before he made sure he wasn't seeing things.
"Very good. I have never been rejected so straightforwardly in my previous life or this life. Woman, you have successfully attracted my attention."
She was just like those domineering CEOs in online novels, saying things that made people dig their toes into the ground. Wu You was sitting next to her and heard her say this, and Jiang Mubai could feel the disgust from the corner of his eye.
"Is it that disgusting? Why do I feel it's fine?"
Wu You was afraid that she couldn't understand, so she imitated Jiang Mubai and said it again. But before she could finish repeating the sentence, Jiang Mubai interrupted her.
"Stop! Okay, stop reading. Now I know why you were so disgusted just now."
Wu You became curious at this time, "Sister Mu Bai, who caught your attention?"
Seeing how curious she was, Jiang Mubai decided to satisfy her curiosity, so he told her that he was rejected by Qian Shuyun.
Wu You was also incredulous after hearing this. "You are Jiang Mubai! Who would reject you? I really don't know what she is thinking. Doesn't she chase stars? Or is your idol not you? Anyway, there should be no problem meeting and having a meal. Are you the rival of her idol?"
"No way. She doesn't look like a fan. Forget it. I must have been in my comfort zone for too long and been flattered by you guys without being rejected. So I'm a little uncomfortable with this situation all of a sudden. I'll just digest it slowly."
"Sister Mu Bai, you're not angry, right?"
"There's nothing to be angry about. I certainly won't make things difficult for her. Maybe she can't come because of something else. We're just overthinking it and shouldn't waste our time on this matter."
"Sister Mu Bai is really open-minded. I feel relieved to see that you are not worried. I heard that she is the screenwriter of your movie, but didn't you just discuss it yesterday? How come the script is out today? This efficiency is too fast."
"Who said it wasn't? I just saw how efficient she was and I really wanted to get to know her."
