The world of Chinese style creates a prosperous era for girl groups

"Dream Even If You're Cheated" is a family drama directed by Kim Jung-kyu in the original time and space in 2021. Ham Eun-jung plays a major role, and she won the Best Supporting Actress at the 2021 KBS Acting Awards for this film.

The film also received a high score of 7.8 on Douban in China.

This film played a very important role in Ham Eun-jung's transformation from an idol to an actress, especially the Best Supporting Actress award she won, which proved that she can become an excellent actress in the future.

"I have another expectation for this film..." Xia Haoyang glanced at everyone and continued, "I hope Jingyi will play the leading role."

"no problem."

Old Xie and Zhao Yishen didn't think too much about it and nodded naturally, because the female characters in the scripts written by Xia Haoyang were basically played by Tara. Sometimes Xia Haoyang would directly specify who would play a certain role, like he was doing now.

In their minds, Xia Haoyang is the author and is most familiar with the personality traits of each character in the script, so it is natural that he is the best choice to designate certain roles.

Director Liu also thinks it is natural, because any company will give priority to its own artists when there is a new script and the role is suitable.

But Tian Danni felt differently. She felt that this was Xia Haoyang's selfishness towards Zeng Jingyi, but...

"Okay, no matter what, I still say what I said just now. I hope President Xia will give priority to our Xinan TV." Director Liu said with satisfaction.

"No problem. We have always had a pleasant cooperation with Xinan TV. If it is suitable, we will definitely give you priority."

For Director Liu, the mission of his visit had been accomplished, so he turned around and looked at Tian Danni.

Director Tian naturally understood what he meant, but she had met with Xiao Liu, the agent of Fat Cat Studio, and Ju Zi and others yesterday. She had already said what she wanted to say. The invitation to Xia Haoyang was rejected by Xiao Liu and others, so she had to settle for the second best and signed a contract with Zeng Jingyi. As for the use of Xia Haoyang's songs in the program, it had also been agreed, so she just shook her head at Director Liu, indicating that she did not intend to speak during this meeting.

Director Liu was a little surprised, but he reacted quickly and nodded slightly to show his understanding. In the subsequent conversation, it was Director Liu who was talking all the time, and Tian Danni, who accompanied him, did not say a word.

"I originally wanted to invite you two to have a quick lunch together..." Both parties have stood up, and the meeting has come to an end.

"Maybe next time. I do have something else to do this afternoon." Director Liu declined.

Xia Haoyang was a casual person. Since Director Liu declined, he did not force it. He looked at Tian Danni and said, "I wonder what Director Tian wants? Please forgive me for neglecting you today."

"Boss Xia, you are too polite. Actually, I have already met with Boss Zhao, Xiao Liu and others last night and have already settled everything. So I came here with Director Liu today simply because I wanted to see Boss Xia's demeanor."

"Oh?" Xia Haoyang looked back and saw Zhao Yishen nodded. "I wonder what Director Tian has agreed on?"

"Since Mr. Xia asked, of course I have to tell you that I have prepared a variety show and would like to invite Ms. Zeng Jingyi to be a judge. Then I will use some music written by Mr. Xia, that's all." Tian Danni did not mention inviting Xia Haoyang himself.

"So that's how it is. You can just ask Xiao Liu for these matters. Even if you ask me, I have to ask Xiao Liu for his opinion." Xia Haoyang laughed self-deprecatingly. "I wonder what kind of variety show Director Tian has prepared? Will it be not enough to invite Jingyi to be a judge?"

"If Ms. Zeng Jingyi is not good enough, then no one else is. The show I am doing is actually to create a girl group. I will select a group of children with potential, put them through three months of intensive training and twelve episodes of the show, select a few people from them to form a team, and then sign a contract to debut."

Xia Haoyang nodded: "I see. I wish Director Tian a great success in his program." He then extended his hand: "We at Fat Cat Studio have a very pleasant and close cooperative relationship with your station. I also have a good personal relationship with Wen Tai and Director Liu. If you have anything in the future, please feel free to contact me. Anyway, I am very happy to see Director Tian here today."

"I am also very happy to meet you all today. I hope we can keep in touch." Director Tian smiled and shook hands with Xia Haoyang and others.

Xia Haoyang, Zhao Yishen, and Lao Xie sent the two to the company gate and did not turn back until the elevator door of Director Liu and Tian Danni closed.

Director Tian in the elevator breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed a little: "Xia Haoyang is more approachable than I thought, and seems easy to get along with."

"Mr. Xia is very easy to get along with, and the rumors on the Internet are not true, but he really doesn't like to show up in public or be interviewed, and it's even more difficult to persuade him to go on the show," said Director Liu.

"I tried yesterday, but everyone from Sister Pei to their company seemed to not want President Xia to take on this variety show, so I was too lazy to say it again today. Although I finally said it, it was useless."

"I've said it before, Fat Cat Studio's revenue now mainly comes from the production of film and television dramas. You want Xia Haoyang to spend three months revolving around a variety show? The people in his company will definitely not agree. As for Xia Haoyang's own attitude, it is also expected." Director Liu lowered his head and smiled.

"Well, I thought there might be a chance. I wanted to see how important Zeng Jingyi is in Xia Haoyang's eyes. I didn't expect the agent to directly reject it, and Xia Haoyang is indeed not interested in being on the show." Tian Danni curled her lips.

"Think about it. President Xia admitted today that he has a good personal relationship with Wen Tai, but Wen Tai didn't give any instructions about you wanting to invite Xia Haoyang to the show, nor did he say that he would call to help intercede. This shows that Wen Tai also knows that this matter is difficult, so he simply didn't say anything."

"Yes." Director Tian raised his head slightly and thought about it.

"Anyone who knows Xia Haoyang knows his personality. Your variety show won't be affected, right?"

"Don't worry, I have a plan B. Maybe the effect will be worse, but OK, it will still be a popular and profitable program." Tian Danni said confidently and made an OK gesture.

"I am confident in your abilities. How about going back to Shashi in the afternoon?"

"No, since we are launching Plan B, I will visit other music companies and invite some guests of high status to be judges. Also, I will finalize whether the contestants will be selected from campus or from various music companies. I have to go and witness their strength with my own eyes before I can make the final decision." Tian Danni's eyes were still sparkling.

"Okay, then we'll split up. I'll take care of my business this afternoon, and you'll take care of yours. Will you drive my car?"

"No need, I'll just take a taxi, it'll be reimbursed anyway."

"Okay, let's get in touch later."
