Save my man, why does he always turn out to be the savior?

Chapter 120 Entertainment Industry: The Original Female Lead, a Stunning Actress, VS a Younger Top-T

"Old Zhang, that's going too far!" Director Fang blushed, feeling embarrassed that his nephew had offended him.

But then I thought, there are no outsiders here, so I don't care about such and such things.

“Nephew, your uncle is in trouble now. No matter what, you can't abandon your uncle…”

Jiang Muye was fully aware of his uncle's difficulties. After all, the money he earned from writing songs had already become an investment in the production team. The theme song he wrote for this drama could be considered a technical contribution, and he didn't receive a penny in return.

Jiang Muye said helplessly, "Uncle, instead of begging me, you might as well apologize to Grandpa, or just find an aunt..."

Upon hearing this, Director Fang became agitated. He angrily retorted, "Why? Why should I back down? That old man looks down on me! He looks down on my dreams!"

Jiang Muye was speechless; he knew this would happen.

The story of the Fang family is a long one. Jiang Muye's maternal grandfather, Fang Guanghui, was a politician in his youth, in charge of economic affairs. If his grandfather hadn't retired back then, he would at least be a department-level official by now.

The reason my maternal grandfather retired back then was because of Fang Yuan's second child!

The Fang family only has two children: Jiang Muye's mother and Fang Yuan, the director. However, there is an 18-year age gap between the two children!

When Jiang Muye's mother, Fang Huimin, was born, she had a difficult childbirth, and her maternal grandmother was also injured. After the doctor examined her, he said that she probably wouldn't be able to have any more children.

My maternal grandparents were very loving. If they couldn't have children, they didn't have any. Now they have a daughter, and both mother and daughter are safe and sound, which is already very good.

But to everyone's surprise, 18 years later, my grandmother suddenly became pregnant!

At that time, it was the 80s, and the one-child policy was strictly enforced. My maternal grandfather was a public servant, and my maternal grandmother was afraid that he would not want the child, so she kept the news a secret.

When her pregnancy became too obvious to hide, she went back to her parents' home for a few months. When she returned, she brought Fang Yuan, who was still an infant, home with her.

My maternal grandfather was at a crucial time for promotion. In the 80s, the competition for positions in charge of the economy was fierce. His violation of the policy by having a second child was exposed.

There was no other way; the child had already been born, so the maternal grandfather had no choice but to accept it.

Later, my grandfather voluntarily stepped down from his career; he chose family over career.

My maternal grandfather was in charge of the economy, and at that time, he was caught up in the tide of the times. He retired from officialdom, but his fortunes improved.

He was also very knowledgeable about policies, so he started a company and quickly made a fortune.

My grandfather's business was thriving, but unfortunately, neither his daughter nor his son was interested in inheriting the family business.

When her grandfather went into business, her daughter had already been admitted to a music academy. She was talented and quickly became well-known. Then she met Mr. Jiang, fell in love, and got married.

When Fang Yuan was old enough to understand things, his family was already very wealthy, and as the youngest son, his maternal grandmother doted on him.

The maternal grandfather couldn't stand the maternal grandmother's doting on their youngest son, but he was helpless and could only watch as his son became more and more useless.

Then, when Fang Yuan was taking the college entrance exam, his maternal grandfather wanted him to choose finance so that he could inherit the company after graduation.

However, Fang Yuan made the decision without consulting the authorities and chose the directing department, saying that it was art and his ideal!

It made my grandfather furious!

My grandfather declared that he would no longer care about him and let him and his art pass away together!

Fang Yuan is 37 years old this year. The father and son have been fighting for more than ten years, and Director Fang has not bowed down to his grandfather.

He also has a lot of backbone. He hasn't relied on his family for more than ten years. Although he hasn't become very famous, he is still considered a big name in the industry.

However, what he is even more famous for is his bad temper.

He won't accept scripts that aren't approved by him, even if investors are offering huge sums of money. Moreover, he won't let any actors who are recommended by investors into the production team, no matter who they are, even if he threatens to withdraw his investment.

But the martial arts films he made are classics, and audiences just love them!

All I can say is, when you have the ability, you can do whatever you want!

"Uncle, I really have no money left. I'm the poorest in the family. Why don't you ask my mom or my older brother for help?"

Director Fang said sullenly, "Then let's forget about it. Your mother and your older brother are both close to the old man, so they definitely won't give me any support."

Jiang Muye was at his wit's end; the meager allowance he had was simply not enough to cover the expenses of his uncle's film crew.

Old Zhang, a veteran actor standing nearby, chuckled and said, "Old Fang, there's no need to worry so much. There's always a way out. When we were filming before, the crew was short of money too, but we still made it through in the end..."

Director Fang thought about it and realized that it made sense. At worst, he could mortgage his house and then he would have money!

Seeing that Director Fang's expression had finally softened, the casting director said softly, "Director, the next auditionee for the female lead has arrived. Shall we continue?"

Upon hearing the casting director's reminder, Director Fang recalled the previous auditions and frowned, asking, "Who's next to audition? If it's the same level as before, don't waste your time."

"This one is different. The next one to audition is Su Jinyue! The Su Jinyue who just won the Best Actress award at the Hundred Flowers Awards a few days ago! She has good acting skills and can endure hardship. Director, you will definitely be satisfied when you see her!"

A fleeting look of joy crossed Jiang Muye's eyes when he heard the name.

Director Fang was aware of Su Jinyue's reputation, and his expression softened.

After reviewing Su Jinyue's resume in his mind, Director Fang still had some worry in his eyes, but he didn't say anything and let the person in.

Su Jinyue arrived at the audition venue half an hour early, wearing a hat and sunglasses, and discreetly went directly from the underground parking lot to the elevator.

Although Director Fang kept a low profile during the auditions, his talent still attracted many aspiring but unappreciated actors to audition, and entertainment reporters were also waiting in the wings.

Since it was just an audition and not a formal occasion, I just wore a casual outfit.

But Su Jinyue, dressed casually and with her hair in a ponytail, looked even more youthful and beautiful.

Among the people who came to audition, Su Jinyue was probably the most famous.

Although everyone claims to treat everyone equally, those with greater fame still enjoy a few privileges.

Sure enough, Su Jinyue waited for a short while before a staff member came to inform her that she could go for the audition.

After leaving Sister Zheng and her assistant outside, Su Jinyue went into the audition room.

As soon as Su Jinyue pushed open the door, she felt a burning gaze directed at her.

Su Jinyue looked up and glanced around, and saw Jiang Muye sitting opposite her.

Her eyes flashed; she hadn't expected him to be here.

The plot didn't describe Jiang Muye's background in much detail, and she didn't investigate him privately either. It seems she'll have to investigate him properly when she gets back.

Lost in thought, Su Jinyue maintained a perfectly composed expression and greeted Director Fang warmly.

"Director Fang, Teacher Zhang, it's an honor to participate in the audition..."

Director Fang frowned when he saw that Su Jinyue looked even more beautiful than on camera.
