"Mr. Pei, regarding the matter of Devin's new movie, I hope you can reconsider."

After I finished speaking, Pei Jing chuckled softly.

"Miss Lin, are you negotiating with me?"

I was eager to get this role, so I mustered up the courage and said, "Actors and scripts complement each other. I really like this script and have confidence in performing well. I also hope you can give me a fair chance to compete."

Pei Jing didn't speak, his eyes glanced at the bottle on the coffee table.

I clenched my dress tightly, hesitated for a moment, and then picked up a bottle of wine and drank it down.

The pungent sensation brought tears to my eyes.

After I finished the entire bottle, Pei Jing still didn't relent.

The impression he had given me before was that of a polite and elegant gentleman, but now he looked at me with an obscure gaze, playing with the idea of me.

This feeling was very uncomfortable, as if I were a fish on the chopping board, being slaughtered at will.

He shook his head, "Miss Lin, I have always recognized your talent. For movies, you are indeed a suitable actress."

"But times have changed, actors also need to keep up with the trends and not cling to the past."

"Before, we valued an actor's talent, but now, we need gimmicks and popularity."

As he said this, I felt hopeless.

For so many years, the domestic film industry has been in decline, and it's all because of these capital-driven causes.

Excessive pursuit of popularity for profit, but no one pays attention to the quality of the films.

At this point, Pei Jing leaned in and reached out to fiddle with the bow at my waist.

"Also, you came here like this, and I can't see your sincerity."

I suddenly realized, and hurriedly pushed him away.

"Mr. Pei, you misunderstood, I didn't mean that."

"What I want, I will strive for with my own abilities."

After saying that, I decisively turned and left the private room.

That feeling of being treated as a commodity at will made me feel insulted.

I tilted my head up, not wanting Meng Jie to see my reddened eyes.

After calming myself down, I returned to the set to continue filming.

Upon hearing that I had become the female lead, Meng Weier's triumphant smile couldn't be contained.

I had no mood to argue with her, I just wanted to finish filming and go rest.

By the time we finished shooting, it was already evening and I was so tired that I felt like collapsing.

When the car arrived, I saw a familiar figure in the distance.

Pei Yudai wore a hat, dressed in black, his tall figure particularly eye-catching.
