Chapter 495 The vest finally fell off
And so we waited until almost four o'clock in the afternoon.
Xiaoyun went out for a walk and came back to tell Chen Li, "Ah Li, the director has transferred other actors to make up for the missing shots. I guess your scenes today will have to be rescheduled to later."
Lu Qiang was firm in his attitude and Chen Li refused to give in, so the situation remained at a stalemate. It was estimated that the result would be the same tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
"Ali, we won't shoot." A Pan looked at Chen Li angrily and said, "This crew has been made into a mess by him alone. If something gets out in the future, we won't be able to explain it clearly."
Chen Li would not give in, so she nodded and said, "If there is no result tomorrow, I will tell Sister Kuan."
As soon as she finished speaking, a staff member came running over and knocked on the door: "Teacher Ali, someone came to visit, and they said it's your sister!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Li jumped up from the sofa, eyes full of surprise, and asked, "Really? Where is he?"
At the cordon outside the crew, Shen Ci and Pili waited while looking around curiously.
Soon, a voice calling out was heard from afar: "Sister!"
Shen Ci looked closely and saw A Li running towards her, and the smile on her face couldn't help but widen.
"sister!"
As she approached, Chen Li threw herself into Chen Ci's arms and hugged her sister tightly with both hands. After feeling that familiar sense of security, the strength she had held on for a long time collapsed at this moment. Thousands of grievances surged into her heart, making her eyes and nose sore at the same time, and she hugged her sister and cried.
Shen Ci was immersed in joy one second, and the next second she found her sister crying.
And my sister wasn't crying out of joy, she was crying in a very aggrieved and suppressed way, and it was obvious that something had happened to her.
Her face immediately darkened and she subconsciously looked at Xiaoyun.
Xiaoyun sighed silently and nodded gently at Chen Ci, confirming Chen Ci's guess.
Pili, who was standing beside him, also frowned and raised his hand to pat Chen Li's back: "What's wrong, A Li? What happened?"
Chen Li raised her head and quickly wiped away her tears, then smiled at Pili: "It's okay, Sister Pili, I'm happy that you're here, let's go in first."
Shen Ci said nothing, but she knew something must be wrong with her sister, and she would never lie.
The group arrived at the lounge, and Shen Ci took a quick look around.
The crew's lounge is generally quite simple, and even the conditions for the leading actors are not much better, but a sofa and air conditioning are enough.
"Sister, why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming? I could have asked A Pan to pick you up. Are Sister Lianxing and Sister Zhenzhen here yet?"
As soon as she sat down, Chen Li asked, wiping her tears with a tissue, her eyes red and distressing.
Seeing her like this, Shen Ci was in no mood to talk about anything else. She asked with a sullen face, "What happened? Tell me."
Chen Li paused and subconsciously wanted to deny it because she didn't know her sister's true identity. She instinctively didn't want her family to worry about her, especially if they saw the dirty and chaotic side of the entertainment industry, otherwise this worry would become long-term.
As long as she stays in this circle, their worries about herself will always exist.
But she can't lie, and when she does, she can't even tell a complete lie.
"Don't worry, I won't tell mom, but you have to tell me and I'll take care of it." Shen Ci said.
"Ali, we are all here, don't be afraid." Pili also encouraged her to speak out.
Chen Li sat there with her head down, feeling very sad when she thought about this matter. Tears as big as beans rolled down her eyes like pearls with broken strings.
Xiaoyun was anxious and immediately stood up and said, "Let me tell you..."
Chen Li didn't say anything. It was really hard to say such a thing to her sister, even if she didn't do anything.
Xiaoyun gave a general idea, but it was enough to explain the whole thing and the old pervert Lu Qiang.
After hearing the entire narration, the expressions of both Shen Ci and Pili turned extremely gloomy.
"So this afternoon was supposed to be Ali's scene, but because of this incident the crew's progress is now stuck?" Pili asked.
Xiaoyun nodded and subconsciously glanced at Chen Li's sister.
But Shen Ci suddenly smiled, but that smile was really scary, just the corners of her mouth twitched, and there was no emotion in her eyes at all.
"Xiao Yun, please go and invite the director over." Chen Ci suddenly spoke.
Xiaoyun was stunned for a moment, and Chen Li also looked at her sister and said hurriedly: "Sister, I will let Sister Kuan handle this matter."
Chen Ci only raised a finger slightly, signaling her sister not to speak: "Sister Kuan can't handle this matter. No matter how capable she is, she is just an agent. I have to do this."
After saying that, he gave Xiaoyun a look and said, "Go ahead."
Xiaoyun nodded, turned around and ran out.
Chen Ci took the opportunity to pick up the new script beside him and flipped through it. As he read, he asked Pili, "Do you know who this Lu Qiang is?"
She usually watches too few dramas, and even if she does, she can't remember the names of the actors.
Lianxing would definitely know the answer if she were asked this question. Pili thought for a moment before saying, "There seemed to be a very popular drama in the 1990s, and he was the lead actor. But he wasn't young at that time, was he?"
"You know all the dramas from the 1990s? You weren't born yet, were you?" Shen Ci asked in surprise.
Pili spread his hands and said helplessly: "My master likes to watch these old dramas. I have watched quite a few of them, but Lu Qiang was indeed quite popular at that time."
"Not young in the 1990s? Then how old is he now?" Chen Ci murmured.
Pili had already searched it on his phone and immediately stared in shock: "Sixty-four!"
When Shen Ci heard this, she immediately showed a disgusted expression: “That’s really an awkward age, you can’t hit or scold me, don’t turn around and say that I abused the elderly!”
Chen Li watched her two sisters chatting in a relaxed tone, and was at a loss for a moment, but seeing her sisters sitting there, she felt inexplicably at ease.
Soon, the director came again excitedly.
He thought that Chen Li had changed her mind, but he didn't expect that when he entered the lounge, there were two new faces sitting there that he had never seen before.
He was taken aback, but before he could speak, Shen Ci took the initiative and smiled politely: "Hello, Director. Let me introduce myself. My name is Shen Ci, and I am Shen Li's biological sister..."
"He's also the sole investor in the film 'March Alley' that you're currently filming!"
When these words were spoken, everyone present except Pili was shocked.
Including Chenli!
My sister...
Shen Ci looked at her sister and gave her a comforting smile. Her investor vest finally fell off in front of her sister.
"You, you are..." The director's brain short-circuited for a moment. He knew that there was only one big investor in this drama.
That is, the wholly-owned investor.
Is this the young and beautiful girl in front of me? Or is she Chen Li's sister?
Why didn't Chen Li say a word about it?
Chen Ci nodded gently: "If you have any doubts about my identity, you can call Mr. Lu from "Jin Xiao" now to verify it."
"Jin Xiao" is the producer of this drama.
"No, no need." The director waved his hands quickly and recovered a little.
As a result, the next second, Shen Ci threw the script in his hand onto the table, still looking at the other party with a smile, and said: "As an investor, I request that Lu Qiang be replaced."
"What?" The director's heart, still not at peace, suddenly jumped up in shock. He blinked in disbelief: "Replace Teacher Lu Qiang?"
How dare someone replace Teacher Lu Qiang in a project?
"As an investor, is there a problem with me making such a request?" Shen Ci said with a slight tilt of his head.
"No, no...it's just..."
But Shen Ci didn't want to listen to his nonsense at all. She smiled and said in a gentle and soft tone: "If you don't replace him, I will replace you."
Please ask for monthly tickets. ...
