how so?

Ji Yuwei herself was stunned.

She clearly heard Jiang Nian cracking her bones. Her wrist had been in excruciating pain and was limp, making it impossible to exert any force; it was clearly dislocated.

How come it doesn't hurt at all now? It's like everything's fine.

"What do you mean, dislocated wrist? You're fine, aren't you?" The director frowned.

"I……"

Ji Yuwei's face turned deathly pale, and she couldn't utter a single word. She looked at Jiang Nian beside her as if she were seeing some kind of demon.

Jiang Nian must have done something again, she must have!

Jiang Nian stepped forward and said to the director, "Director, I was just pretending. How could I really break Miss Ji's wrist?"

"Perhaps Miss Ji felt that my acting was not good and did not want to continue acting with me."

Do you think her acting was bad?

Anyone with eyes could see that the girl was acting exceptionally well!

A high school student who had never acted before, and a story that was conceived on the spot without even a script or lines, yet the girl was able to perform so well that it sent chills down my spine.

This is nothing short of legendary talent!

Besides, how could a frail girl possibly break an adult's wrist with her bare hands? Could this Ji Yuwei really be jealous of the girl's excellence, and is deliberately playing the victim to avoid continuing the act?

"Who said you acted badly!"

The director's eyes lit up. "Little sister, you're absolutely amazing! How about you talk to your family and get into the entertainment industry? Follow me, and I'll definitely make you a star!"

"Does the director really think I acted well?" Jiang Nian asked.

"Of course!" the director immediately agreed.

Jiang Nian said, "But I feel that my interpretation of the character can be better. If the director would like to see it, could I ask Ms. Ji to do it with me again?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Yuwei's eyes widened, and she instantly understood what Jiang Nian intended to do to her. She almost cried out, "Director, I won't..."

The director was already excited about Jiang Nian's acting skills.

Upon hearing that she could give an even better interpretation of the role, she agreed without hesitation: "Of course! I think Yuwei would be willing too, right?"

How could Ji Yuwei dare to say no?

After all, she was the one who made the entire crew reshoot the scene five times before.

And so it happened again. This time, Jiang Nian grasped Ji Yuwei's left wrist.

The same method was to first forcefully misalign the parts, and then reposition them before Ji Yuwei could file a complaint.

It only made Ji Yuwei sweat profusely from the pain, her teeth almost grinding to powder, but it didn't leave a single mark.

"Director, is this okay now?"

After two takes, Ji Yuwei's face was as white as a ghost.

She thought she had finally finished her ordeal, but then she heard the director say to Jiang Nian in an excited tone, "Little sister, your performance has given me a new idea. If Bai Qiuxue is this kind of character, I don't plan to make this drama a female-centric revenge story anymore; I want to make it a dual-female-centric drama."

"In fact, I think the villain Bai Qiuxue is more charming than the female lead Cheng Lan!"

"Are you serious, director?!"

Mingxin, standing to the side, gasped in surprise.

Originally, she was just a villainous second female lead in this drama, only able to play a supporting role to Ji Yuwei.

But now, she might steal Ji Yuwei's screen time and become the lead actress in the drama!

"Director, how could you do this? Didn't we agree that I'm the female lead in this movie?" Ji Yuwei complained, ignoring the lingering pain in her wrist.

The director was displeased, but still patiently explained: "If a drama isn't popular, being the female lead with a large role is useless. But if a drama becomes a hit, even the cannon fodder supporting actors can benefit. The quality of the drama is more important than the order of billing."

"Moreover, Yuwei, your acting skills also need more practice."

"A high school girl who has never acted before completely outshone you in that scene. You even had to do five takes with a stunt double before. I don't think you can carry a leading role in a drama by yourself."

This director's first TV series was a huge hit, and he recently won an award.

Many actresses were vying for a role in his new drama. The reason he chose Ji Yuwei was simply because she has connections, is currently very popular, and her acting skills aren't bad.

But now, compared to Jiang Nian, Ji Yuwei's acting skills are not even as good as those of an ordinary high school girl.

Therefore, if the director is not satisfied with this arrangement, it doesn't matter if he replaces the actress.

"That was..."

She deliberately made a mistake so that she could slap Jiang Nian, her deskmate!

But how could Ji Yuwei possibly say such a thing?

In order to get revenge on Jiang Nian for hitting her deskmate, she not only had her wrists broken twice by Jiang Nian, but also lost her leading lady status, going from being the absolute lead actress to being a lead actress on par with others!

Ji Yuwei was filled with deep regret.

Before he could say anything more, the director waved his hand impatiently.

However, when he looked at Jiang Nian, his tone was exceptionally kind: "Little sister, how did you come up with the idea of ​​breaking wrists? It's a brilliant idea."

Jiang Nian said, "Because this causes pain without leaving any wounds or traces."

"It is reasonable that such a clever and meticulous bully would not be exposed for many years, and would have a successful career and a happy marriage that others would envy."

“That’s right,” the director nodded in agreement. “Since we don’t need to slap anyone now, we can just pretend to have a wrist injury, so we don’t need a stunt double. Mingxin can do it herself.”

"Mingxin, go and get your makeup and clothes changed. You and Yuwei will reshoot this scene in a bit, just like the little girl's design."
