Zhang Bai felt that he should not only prepare the Speedy Heart-Saving Pills, but also prepare the Golden Throat Candy.
"Ancestors!! Where are you!! Where are you!! Huh?!"
Zhang Bai thought when the person from Director Jiang called him.
It's game over.
Sure enough, the little ancestor was kicked out of the crew on the first day.
Unexpected yet reasonable, alas.
But the person on the phone asked him why Sheng Yuan had not arrived yet.
What?
What do you mean people haven't arrived yet?!
Zhang Bai could never have expected that the person he had personally sent in would not show up at the script reading session.
What the hell! "I'm in the hotel."
The girl spoke in a nonchalant tone, as leisurely as if she was sunbathing on vacation on a Hawaiian island.
“…”
Zhang Bai was so angry that he almost collapsed.
He tried hard to suppress the urge to strangle Sheng Yuan to death, gritted his teeth and smiled, his voice soft and gentle: "Little Ancestor, tell the truth."
"Do you think I work too hard and too tired, and then-"
The next second, the voice collapsed and roared.
"I want to retire early and see God!"
"You know how great this opportunity is...&*&@..."
Zhang Bai spoke a lot, his mouth was dry and he put his hands on his hips and gasped for air.
When he finished the last word, Sheng Yuan handed the iPad to the manager. She glanced at the time.
It was ten o'clock exactly, and almost half an hour had passed since the script reading session began.
"So I'm going back now?"
Zhang Bai rolled his eyes and said weakly: "It's useless. It's useless to go. You have completely lost this fifth girl."
Sheng Yuan said calmly, "Really? Well then, what a pity."
Zhang Bai collapsed: "No, little ancestor! Why do you sound so happy?!?"
As soon as he finished speaking, his cell phone received a caller ID.
Less than two minutes later, Zhang Bai called again with joy: "Quick! Little Ancestor! Director Jiang wants you to go over now!"
* Film and Television City Office Building.
As soon as Sheng Yuan stepped in, the staff arranged by Jiang Mingxin came to greet her personally.
Following the staff, Sheng Yuan went around the corner that Xiaoyu had stopped her from entering half an hour ago.
At the end of the corridor is a meeting room with transparent glass.
The staff member opened the door for her and stopped: "Ms. Sheng, please come in."
Inside, a modern conference table that can accommodate more than 40 people is already full.
It seems to be halftime now, and everyone is chatting.
As soon as Sheng Yuan appeared, most people inside stopped moving almost instantly.
Dozens of gazes that seemed to be real suddenly looked over here.
The air seemed suffocatingly silent for a moment.
Some people's eyes clearly said, 'This girl is a ruthless person. She was openly late for half an hour and lit candles for her.'
The girl only raised her eyebrows slightly.
Looking at Sheng Yuan who came back.
Xu Miaoyin's eyes widened in disbelief.
How is that possible?
Hadn't Sheng Yuan been tricked by them? Even if she found out that she had been deceived, it was a foregone conclusion that she would miss the study session.
There is no way Director Jiang would want her again!
How dare she show up?
Xu Miaoyin unconsciously clenched her fists, her freshly done manicure digging into her palms. She tried to calm herself down.
Ling Lan.
Played the heroine in "Glory Family".
A popular female star, graduated from the No. 1 Film Academy in Beijing, now ranked among the second-tier stars, but now she is only a piece of paper away from the first-tier. She was nominated for the first place in next month's Lily Award, but in fact, there have been rumors that it will be her, and she is just one award away.
"Sister Linglan, look, that's Sheng Yuan."
The woman looks gentle and quiet, but her every move has an aura. She is wearing all branded goods, but it doesn't look abrupt or tacky. She has a great temperament and can hold her own.
When she heard Xu Miaoyin's words, she did not look up immediately. Instead, she put down the pen after writing notes on the script and looked in the direction Xu Miaoyin was looking.
His eyes seemed to be examining the girl at the door.
The voice that came out was as sweet as the sound of a nightingale, and there was no emotion in the words: "Oh? It's her."
Xu Miaoyin came closer and said, "Yeah, I really can't figure out what's so great about her that Director Jiang values her so much."
"Originally, the role of the fifth female lead belonged to Tingting, and it had already come to the audition stage. But at this juncture, Sheng Yuan used some trick to snatch the role away from her."
The Tingting mentioned by Xu Miaoyin is called Ling Ting, who is Ling Lan’s cousin.
It is said that he happened to be in the studio that day and waited for a whole morning before Director Jiang's people came and got an audition opportunity, but the audition had not even started yet.
Director Jiang then said that the role of the fifth female lead had been decided, and then he left in a hurry.
Xu Miaoyin's tone showed indignation at the injustice, and she stood on Ling Ting's side and actively spoke up for her.
However, the expected anger that Ling Lan would be provoked did not appear.
The young woman only glanced at her calmly: "Director Jiang must have his reasons for doing this."
"No one can interfere with or question his decisions. The most important thing for us to do is to perform our current roles well."
"The rest is none of our business."
"Tingting was not able to participate, which only means that she is not destined to be with this play."
"...Yes, Sister Linglan, you are right." Meeting the woman's gaze, Xu Miaoyin broke out in a cold sweat on her palms, as if her shameful little thoughts had been seen through. She replied with a forced smile.
Then he quickly lowered his head and sat back down, no longer looking at Ling Lan.
So she didn't notice that the young woman narrowed her eyes slightly when she looked at Sheng Yuan.
Sheng Yuan looked around and found that there was only one spot left, in a corner, which was very remote.
She walked over, pulled out a chair and was about to sit down——
"What the hell? Sheng Yuan!?"
“Sheng Yuan?!”
Two male voices behind me sounded surprised at the same time.
When Sheng Yuan turned around, she saw Xia Xicheng walking over and Chen Liu following him.
He raised his eyebrow in surprise.
Chen Liu was a little surprised when he saw the script in the girl's hand: "It's really you, long time no see, it turns out... you are the fifth female."
Sheng Yuan hummed lightly.
Young Master Xia noticed her position and frowned, "Why are you sitting here? You are the fifth female lead. Are you going to shout with a loud speaker when you are rehearsing with the protagonist?"
“I think it’s pretty good.”
"Not bad!" Xia Xicheng directly picked up her chair: "Come, sit between us, squeeze in, it's no problem at all."
So Sheng Yuan made a "qualitative leap" from the corner to the front row.
Sheng Yuan: “…”
It's really not necessary.
Young Master Xia patted his chest inexplicably excitedly: "I never thought that one day we would be able to film a movie together. I play the fourth male lead, a young master from a wealthy family."
"If you're the fifth daughter... Shit! Then we're siblings! Rich siblings!"
Chen Liu also looked over, a smile appeared on his handsome and tough face, and he introduced himself: "The second male lead, the villain in the play."
Xia Xicheng came over quietly and asked Sheng Yuan with a curious look on his face: "By the way, how much did Uncle Sheng spend to send you in this time?"
