In the conference room, besides the director and Shi Xi, there were also the screenwriter, the male lead Lu Zheng, the male supporting actor, and others.
Important roles are filled through contracts.
The director looked at Nan Wan and said, "Nan Wan, this is your contract. If there are no problems, sign it."
Nanwan remained motionless.
How is that possible?!
How could it be Shi Xi?!
Impossible!
"Thank you, here you go." The agent standing next to Nan Wan took the stack of contracts, adjusted his glasses, and began to read the terms and conditions.
The contract had been discussed beforehand, and the agent had gone through it once before handing the script to Nan Wan, saying, "No problem, sign it."
Nan Wan snapped out of her daze and looked at the contract in front of her.
Agent: "Is there a problem?"
Nan Wan accepted the contract.
With a flick of his wrist, he tossed the contract into the air.
Fluttering papers fell to the ground. Nan Wan, her eyes red, looked like a mad bull, a truly terrifying sight. "Me, be Shi Xi's concubine?! Never in this life! Never in the next!"
Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned.
I never expected Nanwan to be so tough.
Should we just confront them directly?
They started tearing the contract apart right there on the spot.
Everyone looked at Shi Xi.
Shi Xi sat in the chair, leaning back, twirling a pen in her hand, a faint smile on her lips.
There was not a trace of embarrassment on Shi Xi's face.
She seemed like an outsider, watching the show.
"I'm not acting in this drama anymore!" Nan Wan glared at Shi Xi and turned to leave.
The agent grabbed Nan Wan, "What are you doing?"
Nan Wan shook off her agent's hand and roared furiously, "I said I'm not acting! Didn't you hear me?! The contract hasn't been signed yet, I have the right to say no!"
After saying that, Nan Wan strode out in her high heels.
The agent, feeling helpless, apologized to the director, saying, "I'll try to persuade her again."
Director: ...This doesn't seem like something that can be easily resolved.
After Nan Wan and her agent left, the conference room fell into a brief silence.
An actress broke the silence, her voice laced with schadenfreude, "Shi Xi, Nan Wan refused to sign the contract because of you, didn't she?"
Shi Xi calmly replied, "I don't know. If you know, Sister An, why don't you tell me in detail?"
The girl was young and naturally cute; even without deliberately acting coquettish, her voice carried a hint of sweetness.
The actress called "Sister An" is named An Zhilan, and she plays the third female lead in "Sky Blue".
When An Zhilan heard Shi Xi's words, she pursed her lips, her eyes filled with disdain.
She would never say something so offensive!
"Director, what will happen to the second female lead if Nan Wan doesn't sign the contract?" An Zhilan's eyes darted around.
If Nan Wan doesn't act, can she move up one position?
The director was annoyed by Nan Wan's antics and frowned, saying, "I have a backup second female lead. I'll contact her. Let's go eat first."
There are plenty of artists who come to audition.
The reason for choosing Nanwan is simply because among these people, Nanwan has a good background and decent acting skills, making her the most cost-effective.
The director just didn't expect that Nan Wan and Shi Xi would be so incompatible.
The news that Nan Wan slammed the door and left did not spread.
However, news that "Sky Blue" was about to start filming had already spread.
@TianlanOfficialWeibo: "Welcome to Tianlan's friends @LuZheng and @ShiXi!"
Below is a group photo of the film crew having dinner together.
This is equivalent to officially announcing the members of "Sky Blue".
"Ah! Xixi has really made something of herself! Looking forward to Shixi's 'Sky Blue'!!!"
"Handsome Lu Zheng is joining another film crew! Congratulations!"
