Bai Jing sighed and said to Chu Chu: "Little girl, you are really amazing. You are not willing to suffer any loss at all."
Chuchu blinked and said a little aggrievedly, "But I was just sitting quietly, curious about you putting on makeup, and she said I was rude. Of course I was angry."
[No one has ever said this to me, whether in the underworld or in the human world.]
"How am I rude? I've always been very polite, okay?"
Everyone in the dressing room laughed, and it was obvious that they all felt that Chu Chu had done nothing wrong.
Although Bai Jing smiled, she was still a little worried: "This audition opportunity was hard-earned. What if you get kicked out because of this? You performed so well. It would be a shame if you were replaced."
Chu Chu shook her head and said seriously, "If I was replaced because of this incident, it means that this crew is unreasonable and confusing right and wrong. It doesn't matter if I'm replaced. My family is not short of money. I just came here to have fun."
The makeup artist heard this and became even more worried: "Ms. Chuchu, you may not be worried, but if we staff members are implicated, it will be terrible. Chen Qin is a top female artist. If she gets angry, we may all be replaced."
When Chu Chu heard this, her little head spun, her big eyes swirled around several times, and then she took out her phone from her small bag, opened the browser, and started a voice search: "On the set of a movie, who has the most say? Who has the right to replace the leading actress?"
The browser immediately responded: "On a film set, the person with the most say is usually the director. The director is the one who controls the creativity and visual style of the entire film or TV series. He or she is responsible for the creation and artistic presentation of the entire work."
"The person who can replace the leading actress is the investor or producer: for large-scale film or TV series projects, the investor or producer may have the final decision-making power. If they think that an actor's performance is not good enough, or for other considerations (such as marketing strategy, star effect, etc.), they may request to replace the actor.
It's important to note that the decision to replace a leading actress is typically a serious and cautious one, requiring comprehensive consideration of multiple factors, including the actress's acting skills, image, and market influence. Furthermore, such a decision can significantly impact the production schedule and costs of a film or TV series. Therefore, thorough discussion and evaluation are typically required before such a decision is made.
Chu Chu quickly turned to Bai Jing and asked curiously, "Aunt Bai, who is the investor of this TV series?"
Bai Jing nodded, thought for a moment, and replied, "It's the Lu Group."
Chu Chu thought it was a coincidence and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that my godfather would invest in TV dramas."
Although Lu Xiao's voice was still gentle, it was obviously more serious and curious.
Chuchu said without hesitation: "Godfather, I heard some things about Chen Qin on the crew. She often bullies others and has tense relationships with some people on the crew. Moreover, I feel that her acting style is not suitable for the role of this drama. I think we need a more talented and dedicated female lead to play this role."
Everyone in the dressing room listened nervously, afraid that Lu Xiao would get angry or refuse Chu Chu's request. After all, although Chu Chu was Lu Xiao's goddaughter, she couldn't easily decide on such a big thing as changing actors on the set.
However, Lu Xiao was not angry. Instead, he pondered for a moment and said, "Chu Chu, I will seriously consider your opinion. However, changing actors involves many considerations, and it cannot be decided lightly. I need to discuss it with the director and producer, and then give you a reply."
Hearing Lu Xiao's answer, everyone in the dressing room breathed a sigh of relief. Although Lu Xiao did not directly agree to Chu Chu's request, he did not refuse it either, but said that he would seriously consider it.
Chuchu also nodded and said, "Okay, godfather. Bye."
On the other end of the phone, "Goodbye, Chuchu."
Song Yaqing also came in at this time, "What are you talking about?"
The makeup artist recounted what had happened before.
Song Yaqing was a little surprised when she heard the director's words. She hadn't expected that her daughter Chuchu would be involved in such a turmoil in such a short time since she left, and she hadn't expected it to involve the replacement of the leading actress.
She turned to look at Chu Chu, her eyes filled with reproach and worry: "Chu Chu, how could you be so foolish? We have already signed the contract. If you terminate it midway, it will not only affect the filming progress of the crew, but your godfather will also have to pay a lot of compensation."
Chu Chu looked at Song Yaqing seriously and retorted, "Mom, Godfather really doesn't need that little money. Besides, I think Aunt Bai is more suitable to play the leading female role. Her acting style is more suitable for this role. Besides, everyone can testify that Chen Qin was the one who bullied others first."
Bai Jing also stood up to speak for Chu Chu, "Ms. Song, I can testify that this was not Chu Chu's fault. Although Chen Qin has certain abilities, her temper does need to improve. What happened today was entirely due to Chen Qin's rude words. Moreover, I did not instigate or encourage Chu Chu to replace anyone."
Before he finished speaking, there was a noise outside. The director and producer walked in, followed by the arrogant Chen Qin.
When the director saw Song Yaqing, he immediately apologized, "Ms. Song, I'm really sorry. Chen Qin is really impatient. Just now, on the way here, Mr. Lu called me and I learned about the situation. Please forgive me."
When Song Yaqing saw Chen Qin's arrogant look, she felt even more dissatisfied. She originally thought it was a small matter, but it seemed to be a big deal. Chen Qin bullied a child and ran to complain to the director.
She said, "It's my daughter Chuchu who was bullied. If you want to apologize, you should apologize to Chuchu. As for whether my daughter forgives you or not, I don't have the final say."
The director immediately looked at Chen Qin and coaxed her, "You should apologize to the child. So many people have heard it. If things get out of hand again, you will have to be replaced. If Mr. Lu wants to be replaced, no one will be able to help."
Chen Qin suppressed her disdainful expression, but she also realized that the situation was not favorable to her at the moment, so she suppressed her dissatisfaction, walked up to Chu Chu, and said in almost the lowest voice: "Chu Chu, I'm sorry, Auntie was a little angry and spoke rudely to you. Can you forgive Auntie?"
