Chapter 241 - She Never Loved Him (1)
The Male Lead's Substitute Wife
After Su Yaya hung up, she planned on calling Mother Su. But before she could, another call came in. This time, it was Director Zhou Tongguangâs call.
âHi, Director Zhou!â Su Yaya picked up the call.
Zhou Tongguang was stunned before saying, âIt seems like youâre in a pretty good mood? You really quit the entertainment circle?â
âYes, yes. I even made an announcement on Weibo. Iâm not just casually saying it.â Su Yaya chuckled.
Zhou Tongguang laughed casually. âThen I wonât be able to find any female leads to shoot dramas in the future, no?â
âHow could it be? How? There are countless actresses that want to shoot dramas for Director Zhou. As long as you spread the news, there will be countless actresses waiting on line to get a shot at it. You get to pick between the different types of actresses. I bet youâd find one you like.â Su Yaya remembered back when she was shooting one of Director Zhou Tongguangâs dramas that he disliked her very much. Thankfully, she changed his mind with her hard work and acting skills. The two even became some-what good friends.
âSigh. What a pity. Youâre really not going to act anymore? I originally have a drama that I want to seek you out to play the female lead in. Yet, you actually quit the entertainment circle. This is really bad news to me!â Director Zhou Tongguang said half-jokingly.
âReally, really? You really have a female lead role for me to play? Director Zhou, if thatâs the case, I wonât be polite with you.â Su Yaya played along.
âI really have a drama in need of an actress. Are you willing to come or not?â Director Zhou Tongguang withdrew his smile and asked seriously.
Su Yaya thought about it before rejecting it in the end. She laughed and said, âI already left the entertainment circle, so why bother acting? Director Zhou, you should find someone else. There must be a better female lead than me.â
Director Zhou Tongguang sighed on the other side and exclaimed, âIf thatâs the case, pretend like I never asked you.â
âMn.â Su Yaya answered.
Director Zhou Tongguang then continued to ask, âIf youâre leaving the entertainment circle and not acting anymore, what do you plan to do? Youâre not going home and getting married, are you?â
âWhy would I?â Su Yaya answered, âIâm planning to do some things that I like. Director Zhou, please help me publicize it once I get my business going.â
âIt depends on what youâre doing. I wonât help you publicize it if itâs not good.â After Director Zhou Tongguang finished, he laughed.
âI promise itâs really good.â Su Yaya answered, âJust wait for my news.â
Direct Zhou Tongguang replied, âSigh, Iâm quite interested now that you said it. Iâll be waiting fro your news then.â
âSure.â Su Yaya responded happily.
The two chatted for a bit before hanging up.
Then, someone immediately called her. This time, it was the producer of >, Sun Lei.
Sun Lei said through the phone, âMiss Su, how can you quit the entertainment circle? I havenât heard you mention that in the past. You didnât even shoot the next episode, so what are we supposed to do? Youâve been the winner for the past consecutive episodes. How can you leave just like that?â
Su Yaya hurriedly said, âSorry, sorry. I really have to leave because of special reasons. Sister Zhou said that sheâd contact you about the shooting of the show. She will arrange for someone else to replace me. If you guys arenât satisfied, you can also swap to another celebrity. We donât have any objections. Iâm really sorry.â
âSigh.â Sun Lei sighed through the phone. He couldnât force Su Yaya to shoot the show since she had already said it to this point. He just found it a bit pitiful. The ratings had skyrocketed ever since Su Yaya attended their show. Without her, the ratings would definitely drop. If they wanted to maintain the ratings and views, they must find a female celebrity similar to Su Yayaâs popularity. That wasnât simple however. It was mainly because Su Yaya was a topic of discussion herself. It was really the showâs loss for losing such a female celebrity.
Su Yaya apologized through the phone with Sun Lei. The latter understood and accepted her apology, even blessing her future endeavors. Su Yaya smiled as she received the blessings.
