"Director, we've already filmed so much, changing the actress now... isn't that a bad idea?" an actor who usually had a good relationship with the female lead whispered.

Wenzhou's eyes immediately swept over them, then he looked at the person who had just spoken and answered:

"Why don't you go with her?"

After that, no one pleaded for them anymore.

Bai Qingzhi was somewhat speechless, but she didn't want to get involved.

Hearing Ou Yiyi's guess only made me feel disgusted.

The entertainment industry is indeed a big dye vat.

After making the announcement, Wenzhou went back to his own business. Everyone had nothing to do all morning, so they gathered together to gossip about what they had heard or seen recently.

Bored, Bai Qingzhi and the others chatted with Xiao Yuan about their day on a messaging app.

Just then, Bai Qingzhi suddenly felt a silence. Curious, she looked up and saw the female lead walking out of the dressing room with her head down and carrying her things.

Even though Wenzhou wasn't there, everyone dared to go up and say goodbye to her.

The female lead's eyes were red and swollen, clearly indicating that she had just been crying.

She was usually well-liked on set, so even after this happened, no one took advantage of her misfortune.

The female lead smiled as she walked up to Bai Qingzhi, then said goodbye and left.

Watching her retreating figure, Bai Qingzhi felt a mix of emotions. She realized that a person's fate could indeed be so dramatic.

He could have used this role to make a name for himself in the entertainment industry, but it was unexpectedly cut short halfway through.

The newly cast female lead didn't arrive until after lunchtime.

When Bai Qingzhi saw the woman getting out of the car, her eyes narrowed.

It turned out to be Han Lan's assistant.

As expected, Han Lan got out of the car afterward.

Bai Qingzhi frowned even more. She had just seen her assistant meeting with the female lead's assistant last night, and today the female lead was directly replaced, with the role falling to Han Lan.

This series just doesn't seem right.

Han Lan was dressed casually, and she looked poised and elegant, with delicate light makeup on her face.

Han Lan is very good at interpersonal relationships. Before joining the crew, she bought a lot of coffee and milk tea, so that everyone in the crew of over a hundred people had a cup.

She has also done some casual sex work, and although she wasn't very famous, she bought several trending topics at the time, so she had a good public image.

Although some people were jealous of her sudden rise to the lead role, there was no hostility towards her.

"Qingzhi." Han Lan called out excitedly upon seeing Bai Qingzhi, and then personally brought her a cup of milk tea.

Bai Qingzhi has now connected Han Lan with the matter of framing the female lead, so she really can't give her a pleasant look.

But she still smiled and nodded.

Han Lan was completely oblivious to Bai Qingzhi's perfunctory attitude, or perhaps she noticed but didn't care, and sat down to chat with the two of them.

Bai Qingzhi didn't want to pay attention to her, so she just casually agreed with her. Ou Yiyi looked at Bai Qingzhi's expression and guessed what she was thinking.

After offering a few perfunctory words, Ou Yiyi made an excuse and left with Bai Qingzhi.

Han Lan watched Bai Qingzhi's retreating figure, the curve of his lips remaining unchanged, appearing elegant, but if stared at for too long, it would give off a sinister feeling.

Ou Yiyi held Bai Qingzhi's hand and walked to a secluded spot. She peeked her head towards Han Lan's position, but quickly withdrew when she saw that Han Lan was still looking in their direction.

"Why do I feel like she's so terrifying?" Ou Yiyi shuddered and spoke in a trembling voice.

Bai Qingzhi also stuck her head out to take a look, then asked in return:

"Really? Your makeup looks quite sunny, and you're wearing a white dress."

“Yeah, long, straight black hair, white hair, red lips, and a smile that doesn’t show her teeth—all of that makes her look like she’s in a horror movie!” Ou Yiyi said in a low voice.

Bai Qingzhi chuckled and then pinched the other person's cheek.

Han Lan is quite impressive. In just half a day, she completely won over the crew's goodwill towards her, and by evening she had already made several good friends.

She was even more enthusiastic towards Bai Qingzhi, to the point that Bai Qingzhi once thought Han Lan was her biological sister!

Because all of the female lead's scenes needed to be reshot, they were busy until very late that day.

Some members of the production team suggested using AI to replace heads, but Wenzhou righteously refused.

Xiao Yuan sent a message to Bai Qingzhi and got her permission before getting out of the car.

After carefully tidying her clothes, Bai Qingzhi had already informed the director and the others, so Xiao Yuan walked in without any hindrance.

There were still quite a few people on set at the time, and the set was brightly lit, so Xiao Yuan was quickly noticed when he entered.

Now that Xiao Yuan has opened an entertainment company and frequently appears on financial news, quite a few people here recognize him.

Although it had been reported that Xiao Yuan and Bai Qingzhi were together, no one paid much attention to it.

"President Xiao is here to pick you up," Ou Yiyi said to Bai Qingzhi with a teasing smile.

“I’m coming even though you tell me not to,” Bai Qingzhi replied, feigning helplessness.

The people around him immediately smiled and exchanged a few jokes before they saw Xiao Yuan walking over.

Han Lan was sitting not far from Bai Qingzhi. How could she not notice Xiao Yuan, who was so conspicuous?

His face instantly lit up with excitement, and he lifted his buttocks, wanting to stand up and greet her.

But then, as if remembering something, he sheepishly sat back down.

However, her eyes never left Xiao Yuan.

"Zhizhi, I've come to pick you up." Xiao Yuan smiled like a fox that had just eaten a chicken.

Bai Qingzhi rolled her eyes at his childish appearance, then raised her hand like an empress dowager.

"Xiao Yuanzi, help me back to the palace!"

"Little Yuanzi, I'm listening." Xiao Yuan cooperated, raising his hand and placing it below Bai Qingzhi's hand, bowing slightly as he answered.

Seeing his expression, Bai Qingzhi laughed, and finally took his arm and skipped happily out of the film set.

"It's all your fault! Why did you have to be so handsome? Now my back feels like it's going to get a hole in it." Bai Qingzhi could clearly feel a burning gaze staring at her from behind.

It's obvious whose it is without even thinking.

Xiao Yuan, being such a sensitive person, couldn't possibly be unaware of it, and frowned in annoyance.

"What is she doing here?" Xiao Yuan now had a complete impression of Han Lan, but it was a negative one.

“She’s the female lead,” Bai Qingzhi replied with a shrug.

Xiao Yuan was a very intelligent man, and he immediately thought of what happened last night.

He sneered, glanced at the carefree Bai Qingzhi, and began to plot in his mind.

Xiao Yuan felt that Zhizhi was no match for such a scheming woman.

If the other party has no ill intentions, that's fine. But if they develop bad intentions towards Zhizhi, she probably won't be able to escape because of her personality.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yuan became anxious and secretly decided to make proper arrangements when he got back that night.
