The male lead, who was angry a moment ago because of being unfairly dismissed, is now excited by this good news. But amid the excitement, he worries it might be false, repeatedly asking if it’s true, if he is the person they are looking for…
With his skilled acting, Xu Dingjun performs the entire process without anyone to act alongside him. When the supervisor dismisses him, he punches the air in front of him, his eyebrows raised, his facial muscles becoming fierce.
When he receives the call, he holds the phone to his ear, listening to what the other person says, his angry expression turning into surprise, then widening his eyes, showing ecstatic joy, wanting to laugh, wanting to laugh out loud, but afraid it might not be true.
Only after the other person confirms that he is the one they are looking for and they agree on a time and place to meet does he hang up the phone, then excitedly dance in the restroom.
Three minutes passed quickly. Xu Dingjun’s expression was very impressive, and Su Lingwei clapped her hands in satisfaction.
“You performed very well. I think you are the male lead in my heart,” Su Lingwei said with a smile, giving Xu Dingjun’s performance absolute affirmation.
She then turned to Han Zhiguo and asked, “Doesn’t he look exactly like the male lead in your script?”
Han Zhiguo had never seen Xu Dingjun act before; he had only seen him sing, play guitar, and dance at the bar.
Xu Dingjun’s performance just now was stunning; he didn’t know Xu Dingjun could act so well. It was like Xu Dingjun had completely portrayed the feeling written in his script.
“Dingjun’s performance was excellent, exactly what I want for the male lead,” Han Zhiguo said, his eyes shining as he looked at Xu Dingjun. If Xu Dingjun could play the male lead in his movie, it would be perfect.
Han Zhiguo turned to Su Lingwei and asked, “President Su, can I choose Dingjun as my male lead?”
This idea was completely in line with Su Lingwei’s thoughts. In her past life, the movie “Overnight Riches” had a huge box office success, and Xu Dingjun’s role as the male lead was indispensable.
If Xu Dingjun could continue to play in this movie, the possibility of another box office hit would be even greater.
“Of course, you can. I chose him from the beginning!” Su Lingwei immediately agreed, decisively selecting Xu Dingjun. She then jokingly asked Xu Dingjun, “I believe Mr. Xu would also be willing to play the male lead in ‘Overnight Riches,’ right?”
Xu Dingjun was certainly willing. This was the opportunity he had been waiting for. He nodded vigorously. “I’m willing. I will put my heart into playing this role.”
“That’s great.” Su Lingwei clapped her hands and instructed Zhang Mingen, “Assistant Zhang, please prepare the contract for the male lead. Let’s sign the contract now.”
“Okay, I’ll prepare it right away.” Zhang Mingen agreed and left.
After more than ten minutes, Zhang Mingen quickly prepared the contract for the male lead. Su Lingwei and Xu Dingjun looked it over, and after confirming that there were no issues, they both signed the agreement.
“Happy cooperation.”
“Happy cooperation.”
Su Lingwei reached out her hand to Xu Dingjun, and the two shook hands happily, officially starting their cooperation.

With the movie set to start filming, having a director and male lead, they still needed to find the female lead and other personnel.
Initially, Su Lingwei wanted to cast all the actors from the movie “Overnight Riches” in her past life. This way, they could recreate the original cast and increase the chances of “Overnight Riches” becoming a hit.
However, she didn’t remember all of the people from her past life; she could only recall the male and female leads and a few other key characters. As for the names and details of the other people, she had no idea.
The crew had already started preparations and was spending money every day. It was impossible to wait for Su Lingwei to find all those people one by one. In the end, the crew had to release information to recruit actors and hold auditions.
Su Lingwei’s thought was, if it was meant to be, those people would come.

“Is what you’re saying true? Su Tianhe’s daughter really invested in a movie directed by an unknown director? And the male lead is a nobody?”
Director Sun, who had already switched jobs, received a call from an acquaintance and was surprised to learn that the first thing Su Lingwei did after taking over Jiahe Entertainment was to make a movie with an unknown director. He found it unbelievable.
“Of course, it’s true. The information for actor recruitment has been posted online,” the other person confirmed.
Sun laughed heartily upon hearing this. “Su Tianhe was smart all his life, but he never expected to raise such a foolish daughter. With her in charge of Jiahe Entertainment, we won’t need to do anything. Jiahe Entertainment will soon go bankrupt.”
“However, at a time like this, if we don’t do anything, we’ll be letting ourselves down, hahaha…”
