Chapter 84 Seize every opportunity you can
Linda, however, refused to budge. She said, "You have many ways to repay Charlie. I never interfere with your private affairs, but when it comes to company matters, public is public and private is private. Don't mix things up in front of me."
"Sister Linda, 'The Grandmaster' is a major project nominated by the board of directors and is part of the company's strategic plan for next year. I accept the role and support the board's decision."
"The board of directors mentioned the project, not you, Yuna. Even if Ji Sheng comes to reason with me, I still disagree."
"but……"
"Don't say but in front of me!" Linda stared at Yuna sharply and said, "There are so many female artists in the company. There are better acting skills, prettier looks, and better fighting skills than you. Why doesn't Charlie look for them? Why is he only targeting you? He knows I won't agree, but he still comes to you again and again. Do you really think that he has to have you in every drama? Do you really think you are that important? Yuna, no drama on the TV station requires anyone to be the main character!"
"I..." Yuna was speechless. What Linda said was true. The company had a lot of new people every year, and there were many female artists with both acting skills and beauty. The company was not short of people, only opportunities.
"What, you're speechless?" Linda stood up, her hands on the table, staring at Yuna. Her voice was calm yet cruel. "Do you really think Charlie is attracted by your acting skills? He's attracted by the image of a strong woman who can stand on her own two feet, whom I painstakingly portrayed in you! He's using your image to flatter himself! Jealous for a man's affections, willing to die for him if he doesn't love her, and finally dying for him? Even a housekeeper can play such a role, so why does it have to be you?"
Yuna wanted to explain, but found that she couldn't find the words to explain. She looked at Linda in confusion.
Seeing Yuna like this, Linda became even more furious. She slapped the table and cursed, "You pig-brained fool! Since your debut, the roles I've created for you have all been independent, sober, and resourceful new-age women. Such images are very rare in the market and can be said to be unique. They will be very beneficial to your future acting career. You will find no competitors in this field!"
As a result, you don't value your image at all, and you let yourself degenerate, repeatedly going to Charlie's show to play a bitch, and the most despicable kind, who only knows how to compete with men for jealousy! "
"Yuna! You're not destroying your image, you're destroying my hard work! I worked so hard to carve out a niche for myself in the female market, and finally gained recognition from a group of housewives and young female audiences. Now, you're here to destroy the market I've painstakingly cultivated, destroying my years of hard work, and destroying my entire team! I, Linda, won't be a traitor like you!"
Linda gave Yuna a final choice: "I give you two choices. Either stay in my team and obey my orders, or you go to Charlie's side. If I can support one Yuna, I can support another Yuna!"
Charlie was extremely annoyed. Knowing Linda, he thought Yuna was going to let him down again.
In vain, he asked the screenwriter to repeatedly perfect Zhou Bijun's role in order to give Yuna more scenes, but in the end, nothing happened.
He was so angry that he kicked the chair in the lounge, making a loud noise.
The staff outside did not dare to get close, and even other artists stayed as far away as possible to avoid any unnecessary disaster.
Hu Xiaoxiao went to the tea room to make a cup of hot tea and waited outside the lounge door for a while. When she thought Charlie's anger had subsided a little, she pushed the door open and went in.
"Charlie, have a cup of tea and take a break first." Hu Xiaoxiao put the tea on the table in front of Charlie.
Charlie sat there, thinking about how to deal with the character of Zhou Bijun. "Just put it there."
"Charlie, Sister Linda is unwilling to let her go, and Yuna probably won't play the role of Zhou Bijun. Why don't you let me play this role?" Hu Xiaoxiao said.
Charlie raised his head and looked at Hu Xiaoxiao: "You? Are you going to give up the heroine and play a supporting role?"
No! She wants both!
"I can play two roles by myself. Many TV series are shot this way. I think I can do it without any problem."
Charlie looked at Hu Xiaoxiao with a confused expression, "There's nothing for you to do here, get out."
"Then I'll go out first." Hu Xiaoxiao left the lounge and went to the training room. He picked up the sword that Yuna had just thrown away and was kicked away by Charlie, and then returned to the lounge.
Pushing the door open, Hu Xiaoxiao swung his sword and stabbed Charlie with the long sword, shouting, "Ren Shaohua, give me your life!"
Charlie was so frightened that he jumped up from his seat, "Hu Xiaoxiao, what's wrong with you?"
Hu Xiaoxiao recited a line from Zhou Bijun, "I'm a killer from the Soul-Taking Hall, codenamed Poison Scorpion. Today, I'm following the orders of the Hall Master to take your life!"
Then, a long sword was in Hu Xiaoxiao's hand, light and swift, and a sword stabbed Charlie's neck like lightning. Charlie was frightened and quickly stepped back, but Hu Xiaoxiao's sword was faster, and with a turn of his wrist, he stabbed Charlie's heart again.
At this moment, Hu Xiaoxiao seemed like a martial arts master who jumped out of a script. His sword was as sharp as a rainbow, and every move he made could take someone's life.
When Charlie retreated to the corner with nowhere to hide, Hu Xiaoxiao finally stepped back and then performed sword skills in front of Charlie.
Her body movements are flexible and her sword strikes are unpredictable. In Hu Xiaoxiao's hand, the sword seems to carry murderous intent. When she dances with the sword, she is heroic, swift and decisive, and she embodies the beauty of the chivalrous in the script.
Charlie was a little lost in thought. He had been specializing in martial arts dramas for several years, but there was no other female artist whose martial arts skills were as good as Hu Xiaoxiao's. She could definitely be compared with those who came from the martial arts industry.
Charlie was so scared that he screamed and yelled, which alarmed the people who were training outside and they all ran over.
Among them are the martial arts instructor, as well as Mingxu and other people from the "The Grandmaster" crew.
Hu Xiaoxiao saw Mingxu, made a beautiful sword flower, and then stabbed at him.
Mingxu understood what was going on, and immediately took up a stance, fighting with Hu Xiaoxiao with his bare hands.
Everyone stepped aside, formed a circle around them, and watched them fight.
Hu Xiaoxiao and Mingxu had been practicing against each other for quite a few days and had perfect understanding with each other. The fight was so exciting that people who came later thought the filming had already started. As they watched, they wondered why they didn't see any cameras.
Charlie looked at the two of them, thoughtful.
After finishing a round, Hu Xiaoxiao put away his sword, walked up to Charlie, and said, "Charlie, instead of asking others for help, why don't you train someone suitable yourself? I think I'm quite suitable for training. I'm sensible, obedient, willing to learn, and not afraid of hardship. You won't find a more suitable female artist than me among those you have."
