Entertainment: I really don’t want to be a thief!

Chapter 648: Looks a lot more depressed

"I contacted them, how come I didn't contact them!" Li Zhiyuan looked up suddenly as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes, "I contacted all the actors I know who could be contacted, but..."

At this point, Li Zhiyuan's voice dropped again, like a deflated ball, and he looked much more depressed.

"But what? Director Li, don't be anxious, just speak slowly." Seeing this, Lin Ke asked hurriedly.

"Oh, don't mention it!" Li Zhiyuan waved his hands, his tone full of helplessness, "Those actors either said they didn't have time or said the roles weren't suitable. They kept making excuses and we can't rely on them at all!"

"This..." Lin Ke was also a little troubled. He knew that what Li Zhiyuan said was true. The competition in the entertainment industry was fierce now, and the schedules of good actors were full. It was not easy to find a suitable actor to save the situation temporarily.

"Lin Ke, you have a wide network of contacts and know a lot of people. Please see if there is anyone suitable around you. Please help me, please help me!" Li Zhiyuan said, grabbing Lin Ke's hand with a pleading look in his eyes.

Lin Ke looked at Li Zhiyuan's expectant eyes and felt mixed emotions.

He knew that Li Zhiyuan was the soul of the drama and he had poured too much effort into it. Now that something like this had happened, he was more anxious and upset than anyone else.

"Director Li, don't worry, I will do my best to help you find the right actors." Lin Ke promised solemnly.

"Okay, okay, I feel relieved when you say that!" Li Zhiyuan excitedly held Lin Ke's hand, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

Lin Ke looked at Li Zhiyuan's excitement, but his heart became heavier.

He looked around, familiar faces flashing through his mind quickly, but none of them were suitable.

Those actresses who have a good relationship with him are either too big to take on this kind of "saving the day" job, or their acting skills and image do not meet the requirements of the role in the play.

The more Lin Ke thought about it, the more headache he got. He felt like he was trapped in an invisible net and no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't get free.

"Lin Ke, do you... do you really have a solution?" Seeing that Lin Ke didn't speak for a long time, Li Zhiyuan began to feel nervous.

"Director Li, don't be anxious, let me think about it, let me think about it..." Lin Ke rubbed his temples, trying to calm himself down.

He knew that now was not the time to panic, he had to calm down and think of a solution, otherwise the show would be really over.

Lin Ke took a deep breath and tried to calm down.

He took out his cell phone, opened the address book, and scanned it quickly.

"Yang Mi..." Lin Ke's eyes fell on a name and his fingers paused slightly.

Yang Mi is a popular young actress whose acting skills and popularity are unquestionable, and she has a good relationship with Lin Ke. If she is willing to help, the show can be saved.

Thinking of this, Lin Ke dialed Yang Mi's number without hesitation.

"Hello, Mr. Lin, why did you think of calling me? Did you miss me?" Yang Mi's hearty laughter came from the other end of the phone.

"Sister Mi, please stop making fun of me. I'm in big trouble this time and I'd like to ask you for help." Lin Ke said straight to the point.

"Oh? What's the big trouble? Tell me and see if I can help." Yang Mi put away her joking tone and said seriously.

Lin Ke told Yang Mi in detail about the difficulties Li Zhiyuan encountered and the current predicament faced by the crew.

"So that's what happened." After listening to this, Yang Mi pondered for a moment and said, "Lin Ke, it's not that I don't want to help you. As you know, I'm currently filming another movie and my schedule is full. I really can't spare the time."

"Is that so..." Lin Ke was a little disappointed, but he also knew that Yang Mi was telling the truth. The schedules of popular actors are very tight now, and it is not easy to make temporary adjustments. "But..." Yang Mi paused, with a hint of apology in her tone, "I can ask my friends around me to see if there are any suitable actors for you."

"Thank you so much, Sister Mi!" Lin Ke said gratefully.

"Why thank me? We are all friends, it's my duty." Yang Mi said cheerfully, "Don't worry, I will do my best to help you find the right actor."

"Thank you for your help, Sister Mi." Lin Ke thanked her again.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Ke felt a little more at ease.

He knew that Yang Mi had extensive connections in the entertainment industry, and if she was willing to help, then the hope of finding suitable actors would be much greater.

However, Lin Ke did not dare to place all his hopes on Yang Mi alone.

He continued to look through the address book, and his eyes finally fell on another name.

"Liu Yifei..." Lin Ke muttered to himself, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

Liu Yifei is an international movie star, her status is higher than Yang Mi, and she has a very good relationship with Lin Ke. If she is willing to help, then there will be absolutely no problem with this drama.

However, Lin Ke also knew that Liu Yifei was currently filming abroad, and she had very high requirements for the script, so it was conceivable how difficult it would be to ask her to "save the day".

"No matter what, I have to give it a try!" Lin Ke gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

He dialed Liu Yifei's number.

"Hello, Lin Ke, why did you think of calling me?" Liu Yifei's gentle voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Sister Fei, are you available to talk now? I have something I want to ask you for help with." Lin Ke asked.

"Go ahead and talk. I'm listening." Liu Yifei said.

Lin Ke took a deep breath and told Liu Yifei in detail about the difficulties Li Zhiyuan had encountered and the difficulties the crew was currently facing.

"So that's how it is..." After listening to this, Liu Yifei was silent for a moment and said, "Lin Ke, it's not that I won't help you. As you know, I'm currently filming a movie abroad, and the filming period for this movie is very long. I really can't spare the time to return home."

"Is that so..." Lin Ke's heart sank. He knew that Liu Yifei was telling the truth and it was indeed unrealistic to ask her to "save the situation".

"But..." Liu Yifei paused, with a hint of apology in her tone, "I can ask my agent for you to see if there are any suitable actors to recommend."

"Thank you so much, Sister Fei!" Lin Ke said gratefully. Although he knew the hope was slim, he still held a glimmer of hope.

"Why thank me? We're all friends, it's my duty." Liu Yifei said, "Don't worry, I will do my best to help you find the right actor."

"Thank you for your help, Sister Fei." Lin Ke thanked her again.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Ke felt a little heavy.

He knew that Yang Mi and Liu Yifei had tried their best, but they were unable to solve the problem.

Now, who can he turn to for help?
