When The Top Hacker Becomes A Female Supporting Character, She Amazes The World

187 Unexpected Surprise

“Since he’s so arrogant, let’s wait first and see if there are any other suitable candidates. We can start contacting them.”

Wang Ping sighed. “If only Best Actor Ji had agreed from the start.”

Ou Cheng shook his head. “There’s no need to think about him. As long as Ji Jun isn’t interested, it’s basically useless.” He had produced a gala previously. As it was organized by the Film Association, Ji Jun had attended.

As a producer, he had the opportunity to interact with Ji Jun twice, so he more or less understood Ji Jun’s personality. The reason why he sent Ji Jun an invitation from the start was because he wanted to try his luck. As expected, Ji Jun rejected it.

However, what was the saying? Speak of the devil. Ou Cheng was talking to Wang Ping about Ji Jun when he received a message from his good friend on his phone. The other party asked him if the main celebrity of the production team had been chosen.

Although the standard procedure for inviting an artist in the industry was to send the invitation to the artist’s work email, in reality, if they were more familiar with each other, Ou Cheng would contact the artist directly. If they were not that familiar, he would find a middleman who knew both of them and ask the other party for their intentions. If they were interested, they would discuss further.

That was because if he sent the invitation to his email, the effect would be too slow and it would be very easy for the artist team to miss it.

Back then, Ou Cheng felt that he wasn’t that close to Ji Jun, so he asked his good friend to act as a middleman to ask Ji Jun’s company team.

Now, this good friend was suddenly concerned about whether the production team’s main celebrity had been confirmed. Ou Cheng’s heart skipped a beat. Could it be that there was a turn of events?

Therefore, he immediately opened the dialog box and replied, “We’re still negotiating. Do you have a good candidate to recommend?”

Her friend replied, “I don’t have a good candidate, but didn’t you ask me to inquire about Ji Jun’s schedule last time? From what I know, he had some problems with his work, so he temporarily put it on hold.”

Since they were both in the industry, Ou Cheng understood what he meant. “Since Best Actor Ji has a slot in his schedule, help me ask if he has taken on any other jobs.”

When Wang Ping heard the words “Best Actor Ji”, his eyes lit up. “Ji Jun has changed his mind?”

Ou Cheng said proudly, “It’s very likely.” Usually, if there was no intention, the middleman would not come to him for no reason.

Sure enough, 10 minutes later, his friend replied that Ji Jun could accept the job and pulled him into a group chat. At this moment, Ji Jun and his manager, Lin Zi, were already in the group.

“It’s done,” Ou Cheng said happily.

After Wang Ping was overjoyed, he was a little worried. Many people in the industry said that Ji Jun was quite difficult to deal with, so what if he made so many requests like Xiang Lei?

He looked at Ou Cheng and saw that he was smiling so widely that his eyes couldn’t be seen. He thought that if it was Ji Jun who made the requests, Ou Cheng would probably agree nimbly even if he was in a difficult position. After all, the entertainment industry was such a realistic place. The more status and value one had, the better the treatment.

However, to their surprise, Ji Jun only had two requests. Firstly, the production team could not edit him maliciously. Secondly, the other guest candidates in the production team could not be anyone he hated.

They had to stay together in the early part of the show. All artists, including eSports players, had to stay in the clubhouse and participate in the 10-day training. Therefore, he did not want to stay in the same house with someone he hated for 10 days.

Such requests of not wanting to be on the same stage with someone was quite common in the industry, so it wasn’t strange for Ji Jun to bring it up.

After Ou Cheng and Wang Ping heard this, they heaved a sigh of relief. Although there would definitely be more details when the contract was implemented, they would still be much more relaxed if Ji Jun did not cause trouble.

Xiang Lei had just finished an event for a brand and returned to the seven-seater exhausted. He asked with concern, “Is there any news about the eSports program?”

Xiang Lei was 25 years old this year, more than a month older than Ji Jun. He had been in the industry for six to seven years. Previously, he had always been in the supporting roles. He finally became popular with a low-budget urban comedy. He was considered the biggest dark horse this year.

His team, including his manager and assistant, had followed him when he was still a nobody. As for the other publicity personnel, the company had only assigned them to him after seeing him become popular.

Because Xiang Lei’s schedule was very tight, the two groups of people had already started working together before they could get used to each other. Naturally, there was a lot of friction between them. There was not a large-scale conflict yet.
