'The High Monk, Please Follow Me' had Lang Qi and movie star Gong Hao as supporting actors, but 'Thirteen Blades' also had Han Tian's popularity. There was also Gao Yuan, who had been sent to serve as the second female lead which would be a foil for Bai Rong.

No matter what, Bai Rong felt that she would not lose.

Fang Mo'er walked to the opposite side and sat down. The two directors exchanged a few pleasantries before Wang Hong pushed the door open and entered.

"Let's get straight to the point. The primetime series of our television station is coming to an end in a week. This year, the two TV series with high expectations are yours. That's why I invited both of you here at the same time."

The choice would be between the two of them.

After all, if neither of these two TV series could work, the other TV series would have different production schedules and would not be able to be released during this period of time.

Therefore, Wang Hong was also very depressed. In the end, he could only choose between these two TV series.

The main reason was that the previously scheduled primetime TV series had not been able to be broadcast because of the improper behavior of the actors. Thus, Wang Hong was also very anxious.

Bai Rong's eyes lit up. "Director Wang, please take a look at ours first. The novel adapted from our series has a huge amount of traffic. It will definitely become a blockbuster."

After Bai Rong had finished speaking, she gave Fang Mo'er a provocative glance.

She saw Fang Mo'er sitting there quietly, her fingers tapping lightly on the folder on the table.

The director beside Fang Mo'er was also sitting very steadily. He did not seem to have any intention of competing with her. They seemed to be quite confident.

Bai Rong curled her lips in disdain as she thought that Fang Mo'er was probably blindly confident.

Wang Hong said, "I'll watch the first episode of Thirteen Blades first then. You guys follow me into the screening room."

The people from Thirteen Blades immediately stood up and followed Wang Hong into another soundproof room.

After half an hour, the door was opened.

Bai Rong and the others were all beaming.

"Overall, it's pretty good. This TV drama can get an S rating. As for whether it can make it to the primetime slot, we'll talk about it after I watch the other TV drama." Wang Hong said with satisfaction.

After all, the show revolved around the male protagonist. The male lead in this TV series, Han Tian, acted very well. Bai Rong did not hold him back, but her acting skills were around the average level. It was not a big deal, and the audience would be able to accept it.

Such a TV series was very likely to be a breakout hit for the year.

Moreover, the original novel already had a huge audience.

Bai Rong said, "Director Wang, we're already an S-rank. Is there any need to watch anything else? There's no need to watch it, right? There's no need to waste any time. I've heard that the male and female lead actors of the opposite party all did one-take scenes. No television station would dare to accept such a TV series, right?"

Wang Hong frowned. He was extremely disgusted with Bai Rong. If it was possible, he would be more willing to work with Fang Mo'er. After all, Fang Mo'er gave people a comfortable feeling while on variety shows.

However, Fang Mo'er's choice of male lead was not good. Even if her supporting actor was the best, it would still not be able to cover up this shortcoming.

Wang Hong only felt that it was a pity. However, for the sake of Fang Mo'er, he still wanted to give her a chance. Even if he could not give her a primetime slot, he could give her a midnight slot.

Suddenly, the 'Thirteen Blades' director's phone rang. The moment the director saw that it was from Shanhe Satellite TV Station, he deliberately turned on the speakerphone.

The person on the other end hurriedly said, "Director, for 'Thirteen Blades', our television station can give you the best terms. Please consider our television station. We are willing to give you a primetime slot, the best promotional resources, and an advanced preview. This TV series must be broadcast on our television station."

The 'Thirteen Blades' director smiled. "I'm sorry. The main thing is that Beijing TV Station has a large amount of traffic. You know that our TV series has the most potential this year. It will definitely be broadcast on Beijing TV Station's primetime slot."

Bai Rong also smiled and looked at Fang Mo'er and the rest proudly.
