The director hung up the phone, sweat pouring down his face.
He couldn't afford to offend that man, but he also couldn't afford to offend the renowned designer Ye, who came from the Ye Group.
After all, one of the investors behind this statement is Ye, the chief designer of the Ye family.
Seeing the director's worried expression, the producer couldn't help but ask, "Director, there were indeed rumors a few years ago that the man secretly married to ward off bad luck. Could it be that the person who went to ward off bad luck was...?"
"You don't want to stay in this business anymore, are you thinking of becoming a paparazzi?"
The producer was interrupted by the director at this point.
He quickly shook his head with an apologetic smile.
"Not really, I'm just curious."
The director sighed and said, "Being curious is no good either. We've all heard about that guy's methods. Don't think too much about it, and don't be curious. Why bother being so clear about things that happen in the industry?"
"Curiosity killed the cat."
He recalled how, back then, his strong curiosity led him to learn things he shouldn't have, and he almost lost his life.
He had been living in anonymity for over twenty years, and now that he's forty, if he makes a comeback and commits another crime, his life is over.
The producer was unaware of the director's past experiences and simply took it as a well-intentioned reminder from a senior colleague, so he took note of it.
...
Today's filming went very smoothly.
Except for a few simple actions and eye movements that required close-up shots, which Shen Wenran personally demonstrated, he used a stunt double for the rest.
Everyone originally thought that this person was just an insignificant, nobody.
Little did they know that their time together a few days ago would show them what acting skills were all about.
Today, they were shown what a powerful background really means.
Previously discarded like worn-out shoes, neither good nor bad, actors with a little bit of popularity have all flocked to them.
The first person to approach Shen Wenran was a woman named Xiao Yihe.
Xiao Yihe is not considered a popular celebrity; she often plays minor roles in dramas, such as maids, palace maids, or other minor characters.
He acted in many dramas, but they were mostly minor roles, so most viewers only felt that they had seen him in some drama, but he was not famous.
However, in this drama, he became one of the female lead's friends, which is why he was able to survive until almost the end before being killed.
At this moment, Xiao Yihe walked over to Shen Wenran, handed her a glass of lemonade, and smiled ingratiatingly: "Sister Wenran, please have some water."
Shen Wenran glanced at the water cup Xiao Yihe handed him and said indifferently, "Thank you, but I brought my own."
Xiao Yihe felt a little embarrassed.
Continuing to find topics: "Sister Wenran, I heard that you retired from the entertainment industry three years ago. Why did you do that? Your acting skills are so good. If you hadn't retired, you probably would have become a big star by now."
Are we that close? And who are you?
Shen Wenran glanced at her and then said, "Oh, I remember now, I've seen you in a period drama, you were a maid."
"Oh right, there's also a palace drama where you play a palace maid."
Xiao Yihe felt even more embarrassed.
Her utterly impolite and arrogant personality even made Lu Jinghuai, who was watching her from a distance, laugh in anger.
Sure enough, this was the woman's true nature.
She herself is just a nobody actress, yet she mocks people who have played maids.
Xiao Yihe's face turned pale with anger, but she still forced herself to laugh.
If it weren't for the mission, she wouldn't bother flattering this woman.
"Yeah, when I first entered the industry, I didn't get any good roles. Unlike my sister, who has a powerful backer."
“If I had a powerful backer like my sister, why would I take on such a role?”
Shen Wenran also kept smiling, but in her heart she was cursing.
—You keep calling me "sister," but you're not young at all.
—Wait a minute, this woman's name seems to be Xiao Yihe, Xiao Yihe Xiao Yihe...tsk, in the original book, this woman is not simple.
"You mean the role the director gave you was terrible, and you were wronged?"
Shen Wenran snapped out of her thoughts and asked a question in return, which stunned Xiao Yihe.
Because Shen Wenran's voice was very loud, everyone around her looked at her.
The fact that the director was also present made her feel even more awkward.
No, that's not what I meant.
Xiao Yihe quickly tried to salvage the situation by showering him with compliments.
"I'm already very satisfied that the director gave me this role. What I mean is, I feel bad for Ms. Chen."
Shen Wenran fanned himself with his fan and said dismissively, "It's not unfair. Look, there's a stand-in over there."
Xiao Yihe was speechless again after hearing this.
The director's expression turned cold at a visible speed.
"Sister Wenran, that's not what I meant..."
Shen Wenran ignored her and waved to the photographer not far away: "Is it my turn? I'm here."
Shen Ruoyi was in a mess while filming.
I was splashing around in the pool and got completely soaked. Even though it's still hot, being wet is just as uncomfortable.
He changed into clean clothes to rest, and the more he looked at Chen Wenran, the more displeased he became.
But no matter how much she disliked it, there was nothing she could do about it.
After listening to her yesterday, I learned that Shen Wenran is a director who is not famous and likes to act like a big shot.
I don't know what got into me today, but I'm being unusually nice to Shen Wenran.
They even found a body double.
She was furious and had nowhere to vent her anger.
Shen Wenran, on the other hand, quickly got into the zone.
Shen Wenran perfectly portrayed the despair and pain of being defiled by a group of people and ultimately murdered.
The photographer praised her repeatedly, saying the shot was great, and Shen Wenran instantly switched back to normal.
