"What? The special effects team this time is the Carnot Effects Team?" Wang Zihan was shaken when he got the news, his entire being out of sorts. Despite his poor acting skills, as an actor, there wasn't anyone who didn't recognize the Carnot Effects Team! To exaggerate a bit, this group is practically a god-making special effects team! It could almost be said that as long as this team was involved, a box office gross of 3 billion US dollars was guaranteed! "How could this happen?" Wang Zihan's trembling lips highlighted just how much he regretted now—if he had asked for a lower fee in the beginning, perhaps Wang Ling wouldn't have terminated their collaboration, and with this project, he could even have had the chance to become the youngest Best Actor! Discover hidden tales at empire "Zihan, what do we do? We've already had a falling out with them, this..." Wang Zihan's manager was also pale with distress—they had never imagined that Zhang Menglong could actually lure... no, downright buy that team! "No, I must fight for this opportunity!" Wang Zihan said, "Immediately retract the statement we just released, say it was all a misunderstanding, and I'll call Wang Ling directly." For a trending star, their popularity was always limited because the turnover in the entertainment industry was simply too fast, and fans' tastes changed too quickly. Without any outstanding accomplishments, even Wang Zihan couldn't avoid becoming passé in a few years. Is there an evergreen tree in the entertainment industry? Yes! But both looks and talent are indispensable, and some have even faded from the acting scene and still are crowned as male idols by netizens. Aside from a few hit songs, Wang Zihan didn't have any outstanding works. The TV shows and movies he starred in were only watched because of his fans supporting him; he needed a work that would make a lasting mark in the film and television industry! He believed that as long as he could land a role in "Three-Body," with his large fan base and studio operations, he could definitely elevate his status in the entertainment world to a whole new level. In such a situation, saving face was worthless; landing a pivotal role was what mattered most! Netizens' sense of smell and their capacity for gossip were often terrifying. As soon as Wang Zihan's studio retracted the statement from a few minutes earlier, he was immediately trending. "What's going on? Why retract the statement?" "Hahaha, the 'Three-Body' production is invested in by General Manager Zhang and even acquired the Carnot Effects Team. This movie's success is certain, so refusing to cooperate would be idiotic, wouldn't it?" "I predict that soon they will claim it was all a misunderstanding—maybe they'll even put the blame on a scapegoat." "Who just said they would refuse all future collaborations with Wanda Film and Television? Friends, shout out his name together!" "Wang Jingze's Law of Truth might be late, but it will never be absent!" ... "Yes!" Zhang Menglong nodded emphatically. "Pfft! I'm only interested in internet celebrities; female stars don't do it for me," Wang Ling's eyes suddenly took on a lecherous gleam, "But as for you, as the main investor of the movie, I bet the actresses and internet celebrities heading to your room probably need to take a number." "You guessed wrong, there aren't any!" "That's because you haven't given out your contact details!" Wang Ling laughed, "In a couple of days, let's go to the sports center in Jiangnan City. Didn't we set up the temporary lodgings there in my hotel? I guarantee if you dare to stay there, your room will be bustling with visitors." "Get lost!" Zhang Menglong pushed Wang Ling away, "I'm not the Sea King!" "Ring ring!" The phone rang again. Wang Ling grabbed it, "Hello, this is Wang Ling. Who is this, Runfa or Fucheng?" "Pfft!" Zhang Menglong couldn't help but burst into laughter. Wang Ling was really getting carried away. Who answers the phone like that? "Prince Wang, it's Wang Zihan." The person on the other end, Wang Zihan, was dumbfounded. What was happening? Had calling Wang Ling become such a high threshold now? "Oh, what is it?" Wang Ling's tone suddenly cooled. "Prince Wang, I've thought it over carefully. The salary I quoted last time was indeed outrageous," Wang Zihan's tone dramatically shifted from his prior arrogance, "I think I'm okay with the price you mentioned last time, 20 million US dollars. I'm willing to take the role of Wang Miao." "Are you dumb or am I dumb?" Wang Ling burst out laughing, "Just a moment ago, your assistant was talking to mine, saying 40 million US dollars was what you give to third-rate actors. Let me tell you, right now, eight top actors are fighting over this role and they don't even want a fee!" "What?" "Also, just now Zidan called me. He wanted to play an extra; all he asked for was a fight scene." "Are there any other roles left? I can also waive the salary!" Wang Zihan immediately grew anxious. "Yes, there is. And it's an extremely important role!" Wang Ling said. "I'll take it! I'll take it!" "Fine then, come for an audition the day after tomorrow," Wang Ling said nonchalantly. "Prince Wang, may I ask what role it is?" Wang Zihan asked expectantly. "Trisolaran!"
