Rebirth of a Fashionista: This Life Is Soo Last Season

Chapter 99 - Screen Test

After sending away the Ning couple and Yun Qian, Sheng Jiaoyang went to the company with the newly-hired assistant, Ning Xiaoruan.

"A-assistant?" Li Yu was very surprised to see the two of them together.

"That's what your Boss Shen decided." Sheng Jiaoyang lazily leaned on the chair.

Ning Xiaoruan's face was filled with despair, and he could already predict how his classmates and friends would laugh at him upon knowing that he'd become an assistant for a star. A small star's assistant at that! But, his cousin's decision was absolute, plus his parents had told him to do it well before boarding the plane. Since even his parents didn't feel that his job was shameful, what else could he do about it?

Li Yu had finally accepted this fact, while at the same time, he felt that his respect for the girl in front of him had risen. She'd even made the Ning Group's Young Master work for her. With this, did it mean that she'd already conquered the Boss's family?

With that out of the way, it was time to talk about the main issue.

Li Yu felt that since Sheng Jiaoyang had just made headlines and was a hot search topic, she should strike while the iron was hot by acting in one or two popular dramas. Meanwhile, she should participate in popular variety shows to stabilise her popularity. However, Sheng Jiaoyang felt the problem didn't lie with the issue of popularity. Instead, she thought about hooking up, cough, getting to know more people to introduce to Shen Zhining. She didn't refuse Li Yu's arrangements, but she only picked scripts according to what interested her. Ever since having acted with Mei Niu in a few dramas, she'd found a new interest. It was no wonder that even in the midst of being busy, Mei Niu still took some time out to pick a script that she wanted to act. Sheng Jiaoyang felt a great sense of accomplishment when acting out a script that she was interested in.

Sheng Jiaoyang chose a script that was created by the company to boost newcomers. There were already several female candidates for the role, but with her arrival, she immediately got the role of the female lead.

Li Yu obviously wouldn't reject Boss's future wife, and he'd originally wanted to boost her fame anyways. After spending so much money to sign this 'flower vase', if it turned out to be useless, even if his boss didn't mind, it still mattered to him since it would leave a permanent black mark on his record.

The crew had started preparing two days ago. The only thing missing was the female lead. The previous few managers had argued with each other, each wanting to push the up-and-coming newcomers that they managed. Initially, this wasn't a big deal. However, these managers previously had problems with their resources. Now that they had newcomers whom they wanted to push up, and coming upon such a good script and crew, who could let go of such an opportunity? Thus, no one wanted to give way and it ended up in the hands of Li Yu.

In the end, the role of the female lead flew away from their grasp.

By the time the managers who'd made a scene for this role knew of this matter and inquired about who'd stolen the role, the crew had already started filming.

The title of the drama was 'Redeeming my IGD Boyfriend', and the contents could easily be guessed from its title. The whole drama was mainly about the boyfriend, Liao Jiayi, who was addicted to gaming, and his girlfriend, who pulls her boyfriend out of this addiction. Specifically, it's about a couple who grew up as childhood friends entering university, but are not only not intimate, but also solitary, due to the fact that Liao Jiayi was influenced by his roommates to indulge in gaming. In order to save her boyfriend, Zhen Xin creates a series of hilarious rescue plans with the help of her roommates.

In the drama, the setting of Zhen Xin's personality was a blunt and tall beauty. So, when Director Wan Youfang saw Sheng Jiaoyang, he didn't belittle her because of her unknown identity. Instead, he felt that the company was reliable in this area as they didn't randomly choose a female lead that didn't fit the setting and request to change the whole plot due to that.
