Chapter 12: The Body double's cutout

Wen Yuan took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and whispered, "I understand, thank you."

"If you really want to thank me, please help me clarify those online rumors. To be honest, it's really disgusting to be pointed at along with a scumbag."

Wen Yuan was amused by her undisguised disdain and readily replied, "No problem."

With Wen Yuan's promise, the rumors and gossip online were no longer a problem.

Gao Min didn't know what happened in Wen Yuan's family. When she learned that Wen Yuan was actually willing to get involved in this mess for Ye Wanxi, she looked at Ye Wanxi as if she was looking at a beauties who brought disaster to the country and its people.

"What kind of spell did you cast on her? Wen Yuan was actually swayed by you and is willing to stand up for you and explain!"

"How can you talk like that?" Ye Wanxi rolled her eyes at her. "What kind of magic potion are you talking about? Sister Yuanyuan is clearly captivated by my personal charm."

"Personal charm? I've been with you for so long, how come I don't know what personal charm you have?" Gao Min curled her lips with a look of disgust.

Why didn’t I realize before that this person is so narcissistic!

No, I was quite narcissistic before, but my narcissism was very superficial at that time.

It's like empty boasting without substance, all narcissism and no real foundation.

And now...

Gao Min glanced at Ye Wanxi and was surprised to find that her narcissism was perfectly reasonable and convincing. It was unbelievable!

"Okay, let's put this aside for now and wait until she makes her statement. You have a few wire scenes today, so prepare in advance and don't throw a tantrum like last time."

Ye Wanxi raised an eyebrow: "I have a scene to film today? Fang Tian is back?"

Ye Wanxi is currently filming a fantasy drama adapted from a novel, in which she plays the fifth female lead.

Although she doesn't have many scenes, she is the white moonlight of many readers and even the male protagonist of the original novel.

Ye Wanxi's early scenes were basically filmed with the male lead, Fang Tian.

Fang Tian has been embroiled in a cheating and divorce scandal these past few days and hasn't returned to the film set, so Ye Wanxi thought she could take a few days off too.

"Fang Tian? He hasn't come back."

“How can I take pictures if I don’t come back?”

"There's a body double."

"A stand-in?" Ye Wanxi frowned, finding it hard to accept this explanation.

"Don't you remember? Fang Tian and Wen Yuan had a very grand wedding. Every time they filmed, they had to bring several stunt doubles. There were all sorts of doubles, including martial arts doubles. I know of at least five or six."

"...With so many stunt doubles, does he still need to film the scenes himself?"

"Of course, the shots showing his face are still needed, but all the other replacements have been filled. I heard that his previous dramas were shot this way. He has a strong backing, so no one dares to say anything. Now that he can't come back, with so many people on the crew, we can't just sit there and wait for him."

"So we're going to use a stand-in? What about the shots where we can see her face?"

"We'll wait for him to come back and do a reshoot. Of course, a reshoot by one person won't be as good as the actual performance, so we'll have to do some background removal for him. It's not a big deal, these days Photoshop technology is so advanced, they can even swap heads, it's just a matter of background removal, it's not a big deal."

Ye Wanxi: “…” I’m too backward and don’t understand your high technology.

"With such trouble, didn't the director ever think of... changing someone?"

Gao Min's expression suddenly froze, and after a long while, she coughed lightly: "Whether or not to replace someone is not up to us. Don't worry about others. The most important thing is to perform well today and keep your job."
