Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group

Capítulo 601: Chapter 575: I’m Busy Driving DiDi

No one expected Li Meng to directly let Ye Chen play the male lead.

This plot twist is just too unbelievable.

Qin Ming: “…”

Hu Yi: “…”

Li Meng said: “Look at Mr. Ye, his temperament, his looks, isn’t it a waste of talent for him to play the second male lead? He must be the male lead.”

Everyone was speechless.

Originally, Ye Chen was brought in to save the day, so how did he suddenly become the male lead?

And Li Meng was too casual, with just one sentence, Ye Chen became the male lead.

Hu Fei on the side was dumbfounded.

Having acted for so many years, she’s never encountered such a situation.

Li Meng asked Ye Chen ingratiatingly: “Mr. Ye, do you think there’s any problem with you playing the male lead?”

It’s more like a subordinate asking a superior for instructions rather than an investor talking to an actor.

Everyone was speechless.

Li Meng is extremely domineering.

Who’s unaware of her being bossy and capricious?

Her fondness for a male star results directly in investment for him to act in films.

Disliking someone means immediate scolding?

Many directors even view Li Meng as a demon king.

But today, this demon king suddenly changed.

Ye Chen did not speak, but glanced at Hu Fei beside him.

How smart Li Meng was, just a look from Ye Chen revealed to her what he meant.

“Hmm, I think Hu Fei’s acting skills are excellent, and she pairs well with Mr. Ye. Let’s change the female lead too, Hu Fei, you’re the new lead actress.”

This worked out well, with Li Meng’s series of actions, both male and female leads were switched.

The original male lead became the second male, and the female lead turned into the second female.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

This maneuver was too arbitrary.

Even Qin Ming was dumbfounded.

Li Meng often acted rashly before, but never this recklessly.

With this change, what was previously filmed had to be redone.

However, at this time, Ye Chen wasn’t pleased: “No, I don’t have time to play the male lead, I only have two hours to act, then I have important things to do.”

Li Meng nodded: “Yes, Mr. Ye is extremely busy, how can he always be acting, let’s do this, you quickly shoot a few more scenes with Mr. Ye, the rest can directly use green screen.”

Li Meng confidently added: “With Mr. Ye’s face, our show is bound to be a hit.”

Ye Chen nodded: “Yes, that makes a lot of sense.”

One dared to boast, and the other dared to accept.

Yet somehow, everyone listening to the two could not refute.

Qin Ming felt troubled, two hours only, this drama was over twenty episodes.

Qin Ming was a bit troubled: “Miss Li, you can change the actors, but what about the original male and female leads?”

Li Meng snorted: “What’s there to say, if they’re willing to act, tell them I will give them opportunities to play leads in the future, if not, they can just get lost, I’ll make them unable to survive in the entertainment industry.”

Arrogant and domineering, even Ye Chen was stunned.

Qin Ming nodded helplessly: “Okay, you’re the boss, you have the final say.”

This drama was heavily invested in, already a billion-dollar project.

So, many of the stars involved were of significant fanbase; a lot of people were following this film.

No one expected such a substantial change.

But Li Meng was very satisfied with her operation.

If Lord Ye is happy, it means her dad is happy.

When her dad is happy, it means she gets more pocket money.

Does it matter who acts?

At this moment, everyone could see that Li Meng was trying to please Ye Chen.

Qin Ming and Hu Yi weren’t stupid, if even the boss was pandering, what reason did they have not to pander?

As for Hu Fei, she was even happier.

Originally just a second female lead, she had now leapt to the leading female; how could she not be pleased?

You know, the treatment between the first female lead and second female lead is completely different.

If she played the female lead and the drama became popular, she would be the primary beneficiary.

Also for subsequent promotions, it will be centered around the female lead.

Never in her dreams did Hu Fei imagine that this handsome guy would offer her the opportunity to play the leading female role.

Who is he exactly, to have such great influence?

It is said that the previous female lead used countless schemes to win this role, and now it’s all for naught, presumably driving her mad.

Hu Fei knew all this was because of Ye Chen.

Qin Ming gave a reassuring smile: “Mr. Ye, feel free to advise us on how you want to shoot this, we will accommodate you.”

Ye Chen shot several scenes, primarily for later green screen use.

Soon, the two hours were up.

Ye Chen stood up and said: “Alright, I have to leave now.”

Qin Ming was taken aback: “Leaving so soon?”

Li Meng glared at Qin Ming: “Do you think Mr. Ye is as idle as you guys? Mr. Ye is a busy man with many matters to handle.”

Ye Chen said: “Yes, primarily, I have to drive DiDi too.”

Listening to Ye Chen, the whole room fell silent.

Qin Ming: “…”

Hu Yi: “…”

Li Meng: “…”

Hu Fei: “…”

And everyone else in the crew was dumbfounded.

Damn, for a billion-dollar drama, you’re not shooting because you’re going to drive DiDi?

Considering this drama is a big-budget billion-dollar production, with many stars wanting a role in it.

And now, you’re skipping it to drive DiDi.

Even if you don’t wish to be famous or become a star, this is too exaggerated.

Qin Ming was a bit troubled.

Although they just filmed some expressions, after all, this is a drama.

There’re still lots of green screen scenes needed.

And a 20-episode drama shot in just two hours, that’s too much.

However, Li Meng chuckled gleefully: “Mr. Ye, do what you need to do, leave the rest to me then, oh, didn’t Chen Xiao always clamor for wanting a male lead role? Let him act, and just replace his face when it’s time.”

Everyone: “…”

Qin Ming almost choked on his drink.

Recalling how Chen Xiao was acting all high and mighty earlier, and now he’s getting his face replaced, it was brutally laughable.

The thought of it all made one want to laugh.

You act all aloof, and Chen Xiao likely never expected he’d see this day.

Previously, he often acted like a prima donna, replacing others’ faces for his own shows.

Now it’s his turn to be face-swapped.

Ye Chen disregarded all this, for him, nothing was more important than driving DiDi.

Hu Fei watched Ye Chen’s back, surprisingly feeling reluctant.

Ye Chen was truly too handsome.

Nonetheless, everyone was immensely curious about Ye Chen’s identity.

Who exactly is he for even King Bi Li Meng to fawn over like this?

However, everyone realized Ye Chen’s identity was not just a simple DiDi driver.

Fortunately, during a break in filming earlier, Hu Fei got Ye Chen’s Weixun account.

She must ask him out in the future; if she can snag this big shot, her future in the entertainment world would be secured.

Back at the hotel, Chen Xiao, who was waiting for news, suddenly received a call.

“Mr. Chen Xiao, our production team informs you, your role has changed, from the second male lead to the male lead.”

“What?” Chen Xiao leapt with joy.

He knew Li Meng was standing up for him, but he didn’t expect such a perfect outcome.
