Chapter 73 Zhao Meiyan's Choice
The overwhelming publicity for Li Yang and Zhao Meiyan's couple, coupled with Zhao Meiyan's three consecutive brave kisses, made countless people crazy.
Although her idol career seems to have come to an end, her explosive popularity has caused her number of fans to climb to more than six million, ranking among the top few among the new generation of girl groups.
This number of fans ranks among the top even among girl groups of the previous generation.
At the beginning, Cube Entertainment was ready to go all out and try its best to attract some traffic.
But as time went on, Cube discovered that the traffic attracted by Zhao Meiyan could even benefit the company, so they changed their mind.
Cube plans to take advantage of the popularity to develop Zhao Meiyan into an actress, and launch a new girl group to take advantage of the trend.
Han Eun-tae also noticed Zhao Meiyan's popularity and invited her to play the female lead in "Love Kitchen".
Originally, this matter had already entered the process.
After all, when comparing the romance drama broadcast on SBS TV station with the web drama shot by an unknown director, everyone can easily make a choice.
Even the members of (G)idle think so.
The result surprised everyone.
Zhao Meiyan, who used to have a very honest personality, rejected the company's idea for the first time and strongly demanded to star in this web drama.
But Cube did not give up. Even two green card members of (G)idle came over and tried to persuade them earnestly, which led to the scene that Li Yang saw at the beginning.
"Miyeon, with your current popularity, I still think you should take over the drama 'Love Kitchen' directed by Han Eun-tae. It's also a web drama, but it seems much more reliable than this crappy crew." The agent persuaded earnestly.
"Indeed, I think so too."
Li Yang said calmly: "I respect everyone's wishes. If you want to regret now, it's not too late."
"Li Yang Oppa!"
Looking at Li Yang standing at the door, Zhao Meiyan's eyes brightened up at a speed visible to the naked eye, but after hearing what he said, he immediately explained: "Don't get me wrong, this is not what I thought."
Beside them, Song Yuqi and Ye Shuhua's faces changed slightly, as if they didn't expect that when they were trying to stop the acting from behind, they were heard by the real person and couldn't say a word.
"Mei Yan, why did you explain so much to him?" The agent gritted his teeth and seemed to have made up his mind. He stood up and said, "Li Yang, right? I'm sorry. If the script is really a good one, we wouldn't have such an idea. But forgive me for being frank, your script is really too unorthodox."
"Oh?"
Li Yang raised his eyebrows slightly, smiled, and said, "You seem to have some understanding of the script?"
"I can't say I understand them, but after being in the entertainment industry for so long, I can tell the good from the bad at a glance."
The agent picked up the script and said, "Look at your script. First of all, the time is not clearly marked. It says it is a chaebol, but it is not clear what kind of chaebol it is. Look at the dialogue, and there are so many psychological descriptions added."
"People on the Peninsula like to watch sweet romance dramas. If you want a drama about a domineering CEO, you say you have a gigolo who's such a loser, who would like to watch it?" The agent kept chattering while holding the script.
"Okay, stop talking." Zhao Meiyan's face became increasingly gloomy, and she finally couldn't help but explode and shouted loudly.
"In fact, sometimes I wonder if you Peninsula people are all reincarnated nitpickers. You have to argue with me about the setting. I introduced the setting so clearly. Do you want me to spend 15 minutes introducing the background of a 20-minute web drama?"
Li Yang looked at him sarcastically and said, "Also, agent, you may have only watched the first episode and didn't see the content of the subsequent script, right?"
As he said this, he threw the script into his agent's arms and mocked him, "In fact, if you just flip a few pages back, you'll find that although the packaging is more attractive, the main plot is still more about love."
"Lastly, and most importantly."
Li Yang interrupted the agent who wanted to speak and said seriously: "I usually don't like to explain to others. Today, for Mi Yan's sake, I will explain it to you one last time. You can think of the rest as you wish."
As he spoke, he took out his cell phone and set the timer, saying, "From now on, you have half an hour to make a decision. Please give me an accurate answer within half an hour."
After saying that, he walked out on his own.
The next second.
"I have said that staying here is my only thought. I will respect the company's thoughts, but I also ask the company to respect my thoughts."
After Zhao Meiyan said this coldly, she turned around and chased after him, leaving the people in the lounge looking at each other in bewilderment.
Zhao Meiyan rarely gets angry, but when she frowns, she is still very intimidating. "What should I do?" Ye Shuhua asked cautiously.
Both she and Song Yuqi had good intentions.
But seeing that Zhao Meiyan seemed really angry, he suddenly became a little flustered.
"Just like Miyeon-unnie said, this matter ends here."
Song Yuqi said, pointing to Ye Shuhua: "We have said everything we need to say. The company's affairs are the company's affairs and have nothing to do with us."
Under the blue sky, Li Yang walked in the square, looking unusually depressed.
It's not that he's being pretentious.
It was because of the huge pressure of transformation and entering a new and unfamiliar field. I didn't have much confidence to begin with, and after being openly criticized, I was inevitably a little depressed.
Thinking of this, Li Yang lay down on the bench next to him, resting his head with one hand and repeating the action of tossing a coin with the other hand.
He stared at the sky in a daze, but soon his vision was blocked by a beautiful face.
"A conclusion so soon?" Li Yang said with a sneer.
“Does the conclusion still need to be discussed?”
Zhao Meiyan sat on the bench, lifted Li Yang's head, put it on her lap, and said in a matter-of-fact tone: "Haven't I always stood firmly by your side?"
“But it seems that normal people should choose "Love Kitchen". There is no comparison between online dramas and real dramas.” Li Yang said after being slightly stunned.
"I think 'The Rich Son-in-law' is better." Zhao Meiyan lowered her head and ruffled Li Yang's hair, saying softly, "Just hearing the name makes me think it's interesting."
"Zhao Meiyanxi."
"Inside?"
"You shouldn't be such a flattering person!" Li Yang teased.
"Because I'm telling the truth, how can it be considered a compliment?" Zhao Meiyan narrowed her eyes and smiled sweetly.
"I"
Li Yang was stunned for a moment, then said, "I can't cheat you."
"Oppa Pabu!" Zhao Meiyan complained with some amusement.
“Flip a coin!”
Li Yang said: "The front side is "Love Kitchen", the back side is "The Rich Son-in-law", let the coin decide the result this time."
As he spoke, the coin was thrown high into the sky.
However, before it fell, it was grasped by a slender hand.
"What are you doing?" Li Yang said unhappily.
"The outcome of the coin is unimportant."
Zhao Meiyan shook her head, stared into Li Yang's eyes, and said sincerely: "The important thing is that when you threw it, I had already made the choice."
