Zhang Ying stood to the side the whole time, watching Director Wei's filming process.
After watching Xu Yanyu's filming scenes, she also felt a sense of pressure.
Seeing that Duan Nianzhuang had been suppressed, she felt even more uncomfortable.
She glanced coldly at Xu Yanyu standing beside her, then turned and went back to the lounge.
Her assistant whispered, "Yingying..."
"Close the door!" Zhang Ying shouted loudly to her assistant.
She took out her phone, found Xi Rubao's number, and dialed it. The call was answered immediately.
"Ru Bao, how's your face recovering?"
"Sister Ying, the doctor said it's fortunate that I treated it in time. They readjusted the position and it should recover in about half a month."
Xi Rubao's voice sounded rather cheerful.
Zhang Ying sighed, "It's good that you've recovered. I really feel sorry for you."
You've been preparing for months to play the role of Liu Jing well.
In the end, due to a small mishap, they had to give up!
Xi Rubao on the other end of the line was silent for a while before replying: "Sister Ying, I actually quite like the character Liu Jing."
But I've had a health problem, so Director Wei probably can't wait much longer.
There's nothing we can do about it.
"That's true. Oh, I just remembered something."
Didn't I tell you this when I sent you the script yesterday?
Director Wei's shooting schedule has been extended again.
"Director Wei said that as long as the script can be filmed well, it is worth spending more time."
Actually, I think as long as you can film the movie well, you can talk to Director Wei about the time issue properly, and he will definitely agree.
Zhang Ying continued, "Have you finished reading the script I sent you yesterday?"
Why haven't you replied to my messages?
Look how well the script was revised yesterday! They added a lot more highlight scenes for the character Liu Jing.
"Anyone who plays the role would make it a memorable scene after it airs."
There was another moment of silence on the other end of the phone.
Zhang Ying didn't care whether Xi Rubao spoke or not. She continued as if chatting about everyday things: "Have you seen the video that Xu Yanyu filmed?"
Her acting skills used to be notoriously bad in the industry.
She just casually filmed herself dressed, and the resulting video was beautiful.
"Ru Bao, you really know how to pick roles."
"I just saw a few clips of her acting, and they were quite good."
I'll ask Director Wei for the film later and send it to you to take a look.
I think Xu Yanyu will definitely be able to turn her career around with this role.
In the future, when people talk about Xu Yanyu's representative works, if she casually mentions the role of Liu Jing, no one should dare to say that her acting is bad.
On the other end of the phone, Xi Rubao gripped the blanket tightly, her heart aching with bitterness.
She took a deep breath and spoke calmly into the microphone, "Sister Ying, the doctor is looking for me."
I'll hang up now, and we can talk again later when I have time.
Zhang Ying replied, "Okay, okay, I forgot you needed to rest. I just wanted to call and see how things were going on your end."
Now that I've made sure you're alright, I won't bother you any longer.
I'll share some fun stories from the set with you later. Don't worry, just get some rest.
Xi Rubao hung up the phone and remained in the same position.
Her agent asked curiously, "Ru Bao, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell again? Did Zhang Ying call you?"
"Yes, she told me about what happened on set," Xi Rubao replied in a muffled voice, her mood not very good.
"Why are you still concerned about what's going on over there? The role of Liu Jing isn't good enough. Once you've rested, we'll pick a better script for you to act in."
I told you from the beginning not to choose that script. The role of Liu Jing involves too many scenes requiring wire work; it's easy for something to go wrong.
The agent was well aware of Xi Rubao's situation.
Xi Rubao still needs more practice to complete some of the more difficult wire work scenes.
Xi Rubao replied, "It was just an accident back then. I wouldn't let that happen again if it happened again."
"I won't let you take on any period dramas this year!" the agent said in a calm voice.
Xi Rubao, however, said regardless of the consequences, "Sister, I still want to film Liu Jing's script."
I've shown you the revised script. What do you think of my performance?
"Impossible! I will not agree to you playing that role again." The agent rejected Xi Rubao without hesitation.
She noticed that Xi Rubao's expression was not good and realized that her words had been a bit harsh.
She softened her voice and said, "The doctor said your nose will take more than half a month to recover."
Director Wei has already found a new actor, and that's the end of it.
"Sis, did you see the video I sent you? I've prepared everything, and I've even memorized my lines."
The clothes, accessories, and makeup were all meticulously coordinated with the production team by me, bit by bit..."
"The tree I painstakingly planted was about to bear fruit, but someone else picked it. I'm not willing to accept this!"
Didn't you tell me this before?
In our industry, everything is fought for: connections, resources, roles and scripts...
That was originally mine, can't I take it back?
Xi Rubao became more and more agitated as she spoke, completely unlike the calm she had when she was on the phone with Zhang Ying earlier.
The agent shook his head and said, "No! I've already rejected Director Wei for you."
Moreover, they were the ones who paid the penalty for breach of contract.
The agent completely disagreed with Xi Rubao's approach.
Why are you fighting over it? There are so many scripts waiting for Xi Rubao to choose from.
He couldn't understand why Xi Rubao had chosen the role of Liu Jing.
