Wu Fan’s words were heartfelt. He was indeed doing this for Jian Tan’s future film and television blueprint. He tried his best and said every word without any bias.

He secretly apologized to Xia Wei in his heart, but he would not change his mind easily.

However, Jian Tan was not someone Wu Fan could control. He took a deep look at his manager and stood up from the sofa. When he walked to the large floor-to-ceiling window at the side, he looked at the silent night and said, “There’s no distinction between high and low in a good show, and so are roles. What makes you think that Director Sun’s show is better than Xu Kai’s? Is it just because Director Sun is more famous than Xu Kai? Isn’t this a little biased?”

“I know what you’re worried about, but acting can’t be divided like this. Everything is possible. I don’t think taking on ‘Female Assassin’ is lowering my status! Besides, what status do I have? I’m just an actor that some people like. Why should I think highly of myself? You’ve forgotten what I told you in the past.”

Jian Tan’s back view was clear and straight as he stood in front of the window. When he said this, he was even more unhurried, steady, and powerful. Wu Fan was stunned for a moment.

Qing also looked at Jian Tan in a daze. If not for the fact that this scene was not suitable, he really wanted to take out a pen and paper to record his boss’s noble and steady values in his notebook!

There was a reason why so many people liked Jian Tan.

He could have accepted the flowers and applause that tens of thousands of people respected without any burdens, but he did not choose such superficial appearances. Instead, he remained rooted on the ground and saw his position clearly. He was humble but confident. His horizons were not as narrow as ordinary people.

“Of course, I also admit that I want to help Xia Wei, but that’s not the only reason.”

As Jian Tan spoke, he turned around. When he looked at Wu Fan, he continued, “I’ve seen the script of ‘Female Assassin’ before. It’s very solid, and the plot is smooth and complete. The screenwriter is skilled. As long as the director and actors don’t ‘perform’ at will, it’s at least an S+ script! But do you think Xu Kai and Xia Wei are the kind of people who will mess around?”

Naturally, the two of them were not. From the way Xu Kai readily kicked Lu Man out, he had put in a lot of effort and responsibility for this web drama. Wu Fan did not deny this.

Xia Wei, on the other hand, helped the production team catch up even with her injuries. It was obvious that she was not a pretentious person.

When Jian Tan looked at this matter, his horizons were wider than his as a manager. Wu Fan could not deny this either.

In fact, when he was thinking about this, he already knew the final answer in his heart. It was impossible for him to win against Jian Tan!

“But this web drama has been produced for a long time. Will it conflict with the subsequent ‘Zhaoyuan’? We can’t give up the big and choose the small, right?” Wu Fan asked.

Seeing that Wu Fan’s tone had softened, Jian Tan chuckled and replied, “It’s not short, but it’s not very long either! 1 think it will be completed in 45 days at most. It’s very small and won’t clash with ‘Zhaoyuan’. Besides, I’m working with Xia Wei. What are you worried about?”

Jian Tan meant that there was no need to worry at all, and Wu Fan agreed to understand these principles. After all, he had personally witnessed Xia Wei’s audition for ‘Jiang Ren’. There was nothing wrong with Xia Wei’s acting skills.

At this point, Wu Fan knew that he could not persuade Jian Tan. He sighed deeply and took out his cell phone as if he had accepted his fate. He sent the script of ‘Female Assassin’ to Jian Tan. “I’ll discuss this with Director Xu in person, but you have to complete the recording of the sixth episode of [Heartthrob TA] before you join the production team. It’s already an exception for me to apply for leave for you last week. There can’t be any mistakes this time.”

Jian Tan nodded. “Of course.”

After all, he would not miss any moment that he could be with Xia Wei.

On the other hand, Jian Tan had completed an in-depth conversation with his manager. On the other hand, Xu Kai and Ma Liang were still extremely worried about the male lead!

However, after this night, they clearly did not have to worry about this problem anymore. What was more, Ma Liang felt like he had profited from a disaster!

Previously, when he handed the script to Jian Tan’s studio, he had the intention of making a Hail Mary effort. He did not dare to think that Jian Tan would really agree. This dream came true. He almost thought that he was dreaming.

These things happened without Xia Wei knowing. Jian Tan had been hiding it well during the two days of recording the sixth episode of [Heartthrob TA]..
