Su Qi's news exploded throughout the industry, like a dazzling bomb. The damage to others was immense, and the harm to herself was equally significant. Su Qi, a normally outstanding actress, suddenly fell into a slump. The director was furious upon seeing the news. This production needed a veteran actor to carry the show because of a newcomer, but now Su Qi, a talented performer, had suffered this mishap. Regardless of whether a veteran actor could help, the entire production was plunged into crisis in just a short period.
The director had no choice but to call Su Qi, but even that wouldn't solve anything. However, calling Su Qi was the only option left for the director.
But even the most useless calls wouldn't get through to Su Qi. The director was about to lose his temper, and even with the phone almost dead from exhaustion, there was still no way to get through.
With no other option, the director had to kick Su Qi out of the production team without even notifying her or asking for breach of contract fees. Now the biggest problem is that they can't even find a female lead, let alone complete the film.
Jiang Hua saw the director's anxious expression but couldn't offer him any solutions. He asked around and searched for the female lead, but always failed. His face darkened, and it seemed as if saying a single word to him would ignite his inner turmoil and cause him to explode.
Jiang Hua is also busy. After working so hard for so long, she must have some connections of her own. Although she doesn't have as big a network as the director, she will still help out as much as she can.
The sudden idea made Jiang Hua's lips curl up. Perhaps it wasn't the best way, but it was the last resort. She could only try it as a last resort. She might be rejected, but she knew that the director wasn't stupid. He wouldn't give up if there was even the slightest way.
"Director..." Jiang Hua finally spoke her mind. The director looked at her, his gaze still somewhat cold, his face filled with dark lines, which made Jiang Hua a little afraid. "Um, I wonder if my best friend Su Wenwen would be able to handle it?"
Su Wenwen had been standing by, trying to come up with a solution, when she suddenly heard Jiang Hua's words. She looked up from her phone in surprise and said, "It won't work, Huahua. I'm not like you, with such great talent. I'm just an ordinary person who can only watch."
"But how will we know if we don't try? Maybe you can do it, Wenwen!" Jiang Hua grabbed Su Wenwen's hand, her eyes filled with pleading. Su Wenwen couldn't stand her like this, but this matter was of utmost importance, and even such a deadly move was unacceptable to Su Wenwen.
"No, this isn't an ordinary matter. I could handle ordinary things, but not this. This concerns your reputation and the director's reputation. I can't ruin both of their reputations because of myself." Su Wenwen kept refusing, shaking her head like a rattle-drum, making Jiang Hua very conflicted.
"But now we have no choice but to try anything, and besides, you've acted with me before, so you don't need too much time. You're the best candidate right now." Jiang Hua's voice trembled with anxiety, and her hand gripping Su Wenwen's trembled as well. She was so anxious that she didn't know what to say.
"Well... that's the only way. But we still need to ask the director's opinion." Although Su Wenwen had agreed, her words were a wake-up call. Jiang Hua looked at the director, her pupils filled with tension.
"You've rehearsed your lines, haven't you?" The director looked at Jiang Hua and Su Wenwen with a hint of judgment in his eyes.
Jiang Hua and Su Wenwen nodded, somewhat confused about what the director wanted to do. The director snapped his fingers and said, "Your face is fine, and if you've already acted together, it'll be much easier. But if you film a skit like Jiang Hua did, I guess you'll pass."
Jiang Hua's eyes became extremely excited as she looked at Su Wenwen. Su Wenwen nodded in agreement, and Jiang Hua was so happy she almost jumped for joy. She grabbed Su Wenwen's hand and said excitedly, "That's great, that's great, Wenwen! If possible, we can both be actors. If we both become famous, then everything will be perfect."
Following the director's instructions, Su Wenwen began performing her scene. Su Wenwen's performance wasn't bad; while not as good as Jiang Hua's, it wasn't particularly bad either. So, although those around her also aspired to be the lead actress, they could only admire Su Wenwen's talent.
The director looked at Su Wenwen and nodded repeatedly, because the two had talked before. She was also good enough to play the female lead, so the female lead role could be confirmed and there would be no delay, as if Su Qi's scandal had never happened.
She acted opposite Jiang Hua. Both of them were newcomers and had no basic skills, but their cooperation was so tacit. Jiang Hua was like fire that could be set off, while Su Wenwen was like ice. They perfectly interpreted the role of the female lead.
The people around them looked at them and suddenly didn't dislike the two twin flowers as much anymore; the corners of their mouths turned up slightly in admiration.
At this moment, the director also greatly admired Su Wenwen, but he admired Jiang Hua even more. She not only had extraordinary talent, but she could also discover the talents around her and knew how to look at the people around her. She was indeed a smart person.
After the scene was finished, the director walked over, clapping as he did so, a smile still playing on his lips. At that moment, Su Wenwen suddenly understood Jiang Hua's happiness. This sense of accomplishment, coupled with the praise of others, was an especially gratifying thing.
"Wenwen, you acted so well! I never knew you had such a talent up your sleeve!" Jiang Hua didn't hide her praise for her best friend. It wasn't just because she was her best friend, nor was it any empty praise; it was genuine joy from the bottom of her heart. At that moment, she understood how happy Su Wenwen had been—simply because of her best friend.
Su Wenwen laughed too. At this moment, she understood how happy Jiang Hua had been when she praised her. So now, just like Jiang Hua, she said, "What? Who am I? How could I be bad? Don't you even know who I am?"
The director watched them from the side, and he greatly admired their straightforward personalities. He walked up to Jiang Hua and said, "Now that it's settled, let's go eat. This matter isn't so easy to resolve. We still need to get the breach of contract penalty back."
The clear blue sky, dotted with a few white clouds, and the gentle breeze stirred ripples in Jiang Hua's heart.
