"Meiling, why didn't you tell us you signed with Tianxing Entertainment and got the role of Huang Rong? Are you not treating us as sisters?"
A glamorous female roommate, dressed head-to-toe in designer brands and wearing stiletto heels, was the first to complain.
Don't misunderstand, this person wasn't supported by someone; her family was very wealthy.
"Exactly! Such a big thing, and you didn't even notify us! When we saw the trending topic just now, we all thought we saw wrong! You have such a good opportunity, why don't you help your sisters out? Even if it's just getting us a small supporting role in the crew, that would be great!"
Another female roommate chimed in, her gaze towards Wang Meiling not very friendly.
Clearly, Wang Meiling's "good fortune" made her very jealous.
"Meiling is just a newcomer; what say does she have in the crew? Don't be like this. Next time, if there's another opportunity, Meiling, just think of us more, that's all."
The last female roommate spoke; she was relatively rational and calm.
Moreover, Wang Meiling had already become famous because of the role of Huang Rong, and she was no longer on the same level as them.
So, the previous thoughts and expressions of looking down on her naturally had to be put away.
After all, the absolute female lead of a popular drama could truly make Wang Meiling soar.
This was a world of difference from them, who still had to run errands or even exchange certain things for roles.
Just as Wang Meiling didn't know how to face her three roommates, her phone suddenly rang; the caller was none other than Sister Ling, the director of the company's artist management department!
"Company call, I'll take it first, talk later." Wang Meiling said, then walked out of the room and answered the phone.
She didn't want to answer the phone in front of her three roommates.
"Sister Ling." Wang Meiling said respectfully.
"Meiling, get ready. The company car will pick you up from Yan Film Academy shortly. You're going to be busy for a while, and you probably won't be able to go homecoming this Spring Festival. Tell your family about it."
Sister Ling said with a smile.
Actually, she hadn't expected Wang Meiling to become famous so quickly after Huang Rong's appearance.
How long had it been since the tenth episode finished airing? Already, several manufacturers had invited Wang Meiling to attend events, or even directly endorse their products!
Even with Sister Ling's experience, she hadn't anticipated such a result.
She knew Wang Meiling would become famous after "the legend of the condor heroes" aired, and would even 100% surpass Sun Daqiang, the actor playing Guo Jing.
But this was too fast, wasn't it?
Sun Daqiang's side had already appeared in 7 episodes, and no manufacturers or variety shows had approached him yet.
Sister Ling estimated that Guo Jing would only gain greater popularity after he truly matured.
But Wang Meiling's side was too exaggerated, wasn't it?
"Okay, Sister Ling, I'll pack my things!" Wang Meiling didn't even ask what she was going to do specifically, and just agreed decisively.
Because after joining Tianxing Entertainment, she had a full understanding of this, at the time, largest entertainment giant in the industry.
That is, as long as you don't court disaster yourself, the company will never trick its own artists.
This was also why the three female roommates were so excited, envious, and jealous when they heard Wang Meiling joined Tianxing Entertainment.
Because they also wanted to join Tianxing Entertainment's artist department, but unfortunately, their resumes were submitted without even a ripple.
"Sorry, the company has arranged work for me and will pick me up soon. Let's talk next time."
After returning to the dorm, Wang Meiling said, then quickly began packing her luggage.
Actually, she was planning to go homecoming tomorrow, and her luggage was already mostly packed.
After packing her daily necessities into boxes, she put on her down jacket, pulled her suitcase, and left the dorm under the stunned gazes of her three female roommates.
"What luck! What's she putting on airs for!" After Wang Meiling left, one female roommate muttered angrily.
"If you could also be signed by Tianxing Entertainment and star as the female lead in a popular drama, you could be like this! You could even be more arrogant!"
The rational female roommate said indifferently.
They had actually returned as quickly as possible, but they didn't expect to still be late.
Although they didn't know Wang Meiling very well, they knew that as roommates, Wang Meiling would still give them face.
As long as Wang Meiling promised to help them secure roles in the future, she would definitely do it.
Even if their attitude towards Wang Meiling during these two years hadn't been so pleasant.
However, Wang Meiling didn't give them a chance to continue speaking!
And with this separation, it would probably be very difficult for them to see Wang Meiling again.
Although they verbally said Wang Meiling had a stroke of luck, they felt very regretful in their hearts.
Regret that they hadn't built a good relationship with her in the first place!
If they had truly become best friends, would Wang Meiling forget them after she soared to success?
But now, there was no turning back.
"Mom, the company has work arrangements, so I won't be going homecoming for the New Year. I'll come back to see you after this busy period is over."
Wang Meiling, who had left the dorm, dialed her family's number.
"Okay, okay, come back anytime, just take good care of yourself when you're out alone! The Huang Rong you played..."
Not long after she hung up the phone with her family, Tianxing Entertainment's car stopped at the gate of Yan Film Academy.
And this time, Sister Ling came in person!
This truly made Wang Meiling feel a little overwhelmed by the honor.
Ever since Sister Ling became the director of the artist management department, she had assigned all her artists to other agents.
She returned to a state of having only Han Jiangxue as her artist.
Sister Ling's personal visit this time was also because Wang Meiling became famous too quickly.
The company hadn't yet arranged a suitable agent for her.
In addition, Sister Ling was also a bit uneasy, so she personally came to guide Wang Meiling for a period of time.
"We're flying directly to Magic City. A jewelry brand wants you to endorse them. The endorsement fee is 3 million a year. Although it's not much, it will be very helpful for your development, so the company has accepted it for you..."
Listening to Sister Ling's every word, Wang Meiling felt as if she were in a dream.
Because everything that happened tonight felt truly too dreamy and unreal to her!
She secretly pinched herself; it hurt!
It turned out that she really was famous.
On February 8th, the "chinese partners" crew had stopped work.
Because the director and the three main actors had all gone to CCTV to record a standby tape.
Work would resume on the third day of the Lunar New Year, and the filming location would also change to the United States.
Because the filming at the Yanjing location had been completely finished on the 7th.
This was already very good, as some crews had to work overtime during the New Year holidays to meet deadlines.
The costs were there; even if they didn't film, they still had to pay.
Directors and investors as wealthy as Su Yu were truly rare.
Crews that took entire holidays off at the drop of a hat also made them feel speechless.
Of course, the filming progress of "chinese partners" was also genuinely fast. The originally planned two months of filming at the Yanjing location were now completed in just over a month!
And for the three assistant directors, the upcoming filming in the United States was also an opportunity for them to show their capabilities.
Because Su Yu said he wouldn't be following the crew...
