Entertainment Circle: Scolding My Acting Skills are Rubbish? My Singing is Great

A million-subscriber UP owner from Blue Star, Xu Yanyu, transmigrated to a parallel world and became a traffic star criticized by the entire internet.

Her company wanted her to comply with a ...

Chapter 144 I want to be suspended by wires too?

"Oh, I'm not looking for you because of the music! It's like this, I wanted to ask if you still want to act? I have an opportunity I can introduce to you." Producer Qian changed his tone; he still wasn't used to asking for favors.

Xu Yanyu paused, her hand still fiddling with the zipper of her sun-protective clothing. She asked curiously, "What opportunity?"

Producer Qian quickly said, "Director Wei's crew is short-handed for a role, and it's a pretty good one. It's a beautiful female character in a TV series, and I think you'd be perfect for it."

Xu Yanyu looked at the wires scattered on the ground. Thinking of Xi Rubao's miserable state just now, she knew she had to be careful.

She asked, "Do I need to be suspended by wires?"

"Yes, you'll need to do it! You'll need to be suspended by wires."

Producer Qian had already read the TV series script, so he knew that although Liu Jing didn't have many scenes, she had quite a few high-flying scenes.

A figure dressed in white descended from the sky, and the falling snow brought a sense of desolation.

Then, something in the bamboo forest stepped on a stringless zither and landed gracefully.

As the zither played, a surge of energy rose, and orchid petals enveloped her, shooting like swords into the thousands of troops opposite her.

Then there's another one who leaps from the high wall and lands, and that face-covering curtain? Is it called a face-covering curtain?

Anyway, that thing fell from mid-air.

Liu Jing turned around and smiled, causing everyone on the street to gasp in surprise.

...

Every shot is pretentious, and every entrance comes with its own dazzling special effects.

She is truly beautiful; otherwise, Xi Rubao wouldn't have lowered her status to play this stunning beauty.

But the more beautiful these shots are, the higher the actors have to be suspended by wires.

Based on Lao Wei's attitude just now, he wouldn't allow actors to use stunt doubles.

Producer Qian felt his gums were about to swell up.

Seeing that Xu Yanyu was still silent, he could only lower his stance and continue to persuade her: "Yanyu, this role is really good."

Although it required wire work, it was very popular with the audience. His screen time was limited, but every appearance was memorable.

An actor's achievement is not measured by the number of films or TV shows they have acted in, but by the memorable roles they have played.

A good role can elevate one's status...

"Producer Qian, I'm a singer now."

Xu Yanyu looked at the wire, and then thought of the extras she had overheard whispering about how the noses were crooked.

Her gaze involuntarily held a hint of awe.

She touched her delicate, small nose. She was currently satisfied with her appearance and didn't want to get plastic surgery for the time being.

Producer Qian was speechless again.

He feels like he's having a bad year.

He gritted his teeth and continued, "Yan Yu, I won't hide it from you anymore. Director Wei's crew is in trouble now. The actress who played Liu Jing had an accident."

We can't find a suitable actor right now, so we have no choice but to ask for your help.

"Oh~ is that Xi Rubao? I saw her having a bit of an accident when she was suspended by wires." Xu Yanyu naturally took over the conversation from Producer Qian.

She then asked curiously, "Is so-and-so's nose really crooked?"

Producer Qian was speechless again.

He said that Xu Yanyu's first question was about wire work; it turns out she was a witness to the incident.

Producer Qian sighed, "His nose really is crooked. We should head to the airport now."

Xu Yanyu gasped, "That wire work is really inhuman. I'd better just focus on singing."

"Xu Yanyu, consider it a favor I owe you, okay? Can you do me a favor? I'll ask Director Wei to take good care of you and make sure nothing like what happened to Xi Rubao happens to you!" Producer Qian had no other choice.

His collaboration with Xirubao Company has some unsavory details.

If they can't find someone to replace Xi Rubao, Lao Wei will have to pay more.

Old Wei needs money, but he has to submit an application to the station.

Once this application is submitted, those shady secrets may be exposed.

So Producer Qian insisted on finding someone to smooth things over.

Xu Yanyu wrinkled her nose, somewhat reluctant to agree.

She's a little afraid of dying, but if she wants to act, there will be other opportunities in the future.

Producer Qian gritted his teeth and continued, "Xi Rubao breached the contract. I've given you the breach of contract penalty paid by Xi Rubao's company, as well as her fee for this transaction! I estimate it won't be less than eight million!"

“Ah? I’ll film! I can film today!” Xu Yanyu said without hesitation.

Eight million! Even if she doesn't lack money, no one would complain about having too much money, right?

It's just wire work, as long as she doesn't die, she'd do it for the sake of eight million.

No wonder everyone wants to be a star; you can easily earn millions, or even tens of millions, in film and television fees.

Producer Qian finally breathed a sigh of relief and urged Xu Yanyu, "You're near the film set right now, right? Go find Director Wei."

You recognize Director Wei, right? He's the tall, muscular, dark-skinned guy on set.

"Okay!" Xu Yanyu hung up the phone and walked towards Director Wei's direction in a few quick steps.

After hanging up the phone, the producer collapsed onto the sofa.

But he couldn't rest yet; he still had to deal with Xi Rubao's matter.

Although we owe Xu Yanyu a favor, we've finally resolved the matter.

After hanging up with producer Qian, Director Wei was busy cleaning up the mess left by the production crew.

The costume and props staff rushed over in a panic and said, "Director Wei, are we not going to work today?"

"Who said we're not going to work? We've hired so many extras, it costs a lot of money every day, and every extra day we use the venue costs money too. Do you think I dare not to work?"

Director Wei stared at the person in charge of costumes, props, and sets as if they were idiots.

The costume and props manager said, "But Xi Rubao can't act anymore, right?"

"So we've changed actors!" Director Wei said decisively.

He pointed to the video camera that had been set up and said to the assistant director beside him, "Delete all the footage that Xi Rubao recorded before; it's all unusable. It's a waste of my film..."

The head of the costume and props team wailed, "Xi Rubao took all of Liu Jing's clothes with him."

Yesterday, her agent packed all her clothes into her van.

"Huh? There are no more clothes?" Director Wei looked at the head of the costume and props team in disbelief.

Director Wei, with a sour face, scolded, "What were you doing just now?"

Are you just going to let her take the clothes away like that? Are you all just sitting around doing nothing?

His gaze was piercing as he stared at everyone.

Anyone who met his gaze quickly lowered their head.

The costume and props team leader begged for mercy, saying, "I was just dealing with props for the next scene, and when I ran out, her car was nowhere to be seen."

The assistant director glanced at Director Wei, wanting to say that Director Wei was among those who had seen Xi Rubao off earlier.

The assistant standing nearby whispered, "Xi Rubao's nose is crooked... We wouldn't want to delay her treatment, would we?"

They were so badly injured, and they still stopped them, saying, "Take off your clothes first..."

Is this reasonable?

Director Wei was furious and looked at the head of the costume and props team, saying, "What about Liu Jing's spare clothes?"
