Xu Zhaozhao took off her hat, held it in her hand, and bowed slightly to Director Dai.
"Hello, Director Dai. I'm Xu Zhaozhao."
Xu Zhaozhao didn't have time to put on makeup today, so she's completely bare-faced.
Fortunately, I haven't eaten anything spicy or heaty these past few days, so I haven't broken out in pimples.
Female celebrities still need to pay attention to their image.
After hearing her self-introduction, Director Dai did not respond immediately, but instead scanned her from head to toe.
"I know you."
He spoke.
Xu Zhaozhao fell silent.
Director Dai, it's not surprising that you know me, after all, trending topics are my domain.
Just as Xu Zhaozhao was about to put on a fake smile and offer a compliment, Director Dai spoke up again.
"Are you that doll from the TV series?"
Xu Zhaozhao fell silent again.
She detected a strong sense of contempt in his words.
Director Dai didn't wait for Xu Zhaozhao's reply and continued, "Those who act in TV dramas usually don't make it to the big screen. If you were..."
"director."
Xu Zhaozhao interrupted Director Dai with a fake smile, "Your leading lady also acts in TV dramas."
Her sarcastic remarks are becoming more and more sophisticated.
The female lead of this drama is naturally Qin Yueling.
"I've already said 'usually'! Usually! Yue Ling is a rare and excellent seedling."
Director Dai seemed to have been touched on a sore spot, "What do you know! This movie of mine was tailor-made for her!"
Xu Zhaozhao kept nodding, letting the words go in one ear and out the other.
Director Dai was completely helpless, like punching cotton.
Having already made his promise, he had no choice but to give her the role first.
Dai Zhengjun had already made up his mind.
These popular young actresses don't have much mental fortitude; when they make mistakes in acting, they just get scolded and leave.
Then we can choose a new second female lead.
"snort."
Dai Zhengjun snorted, turned his head away from her, and said in a deep voice, "No lateness, no early departure. If you break either rule, you're fired."
It's clear that he has a very strong sense of time.
Xu Zhaozhao nodded and agreed.
"You can familiarize yourself with the script today, and we'll film your scenes tomorrow."
As he spoke, Dai Zhengjun picked up his walkie-talkie and said, "All departments, get ready to start filming."
He then ignored Xu Zhaozhao.
Her pupils widened slightly as she looked at the thick script in her hands.
The second female lead, at least one-third of the total.
One day... Orb, half a day!?
Challenging the limits of human capability?!
Xu Zhaozhao felt like crying as she watched Director Dai's dashing departure.
She looked to Sister Yan for help, only to find her hurriedly picking up her bag and passing by.
"Sister Zhao, congratulations! I'm going to check on my artist!"
With that, he walked into the crowd.
This movie is Director Dai's "battle for redemption," and isn't this new artist also Sister Yan's "battle for redemption"?
Xu Zhaozhao expressed her understanding.
As soon as I turned my head, I saw Qin Yueling coming out of the dressing room.
She was wearing a light blue cheongsam.
Yes, she's wearing fake buttocks.
Xu Zhaozhao was taken aback, realizing that she had once again focused her attention on something she shouldn't have.
"Zhaozhao?"
Xu Zhaozhao pretended not to see her and slipped out from next door, but Qin Yueling called her back.
I really admire her.
She's been so obviously unfriendly to her, yet she still acts like nothing's wrong and interacts with you.
Xu Zhaozhao flashed her professional fake smile again, "What a coincidence~ Lingling~"
If you can't beat them, join them.
Qin Yueling was stunned for a moment, but quickly recovered. "The movie 'Crossing the River Moon' has been released. Congratulations!"
"Congratulations!"
Xu Zhaozhao nodded solemnly.
Qin Yueling choked, and the two could not continue the conversation. Qin Yueling was then called away to prepare.
"Zhaozhao, I look forward to working with you."
She gave a perfunctory bow and walked towards the director.
Xu Zhaozhao was afraid that if she squatted down, her fake buttocks would fall off.
Tomorrow's trending topic will be #Qin Yueling's Equipment Revealed on Set - Fake Buttocks#.
As Xu Zhaozhao thought about it, she couldn't help but smile.
Let's just forget about it; there's no need for such unlucky topics to appear on her empire.
With filming about to begin, no one paid any attention to Xu Zhaozhao anymore.
She was glad she brought a driver with her; Sister Yan was indeed unreliable after having a new artist!
Xu Zhaozhao glanced through the script in her hand in the car.
The footage to be filmed tomorrow alone is a full ten pages long!!
Director Dai, if you want me to die, you can just say so. You don't have to make me memorize ten pages of script in half a day.
"Miss, where are we going?"
Just as Xu Zhaozhao was about to destroy the whole world, the driver's words came from the front.
Summoning her last ounce of intelligence, Xu Zhaozhao thought for a moment, then said decisively, "Go to the nearest hotel!"
She'll definitely be up all night tonight. It takes at least 20 minutes to get here from the villa, and if she's not on time, she'll definitely be late.
I'll stay at a hotel for one night, and then I'll show up at the film set tomorrow.
Ten minutes later, Xu Zhaozhao was already lying on the hotel bed.
The nearest hotel is only two minutes away from the film set!!
She was overjoyed and rolled around on the bed.
When you get tired of scrolling, just open WeChat and tap the red dot.
Besides the barrage of messages from Sister Yan in the morning, the next thing she received was a message from Gu Yulin.
I originally wanted to call Yu Yu, but then I remembered he was in class at that time, so I typed instead.
I explained my current situation to Yu Yu and told her that I wouldn't be going home tonight, but emphasized that I would definitely be home the day after tomorrow.
Shh: Baby, don't overthink it!! Mommy's always here~
Sure enough, there was no reply.
If she hadn't been in such a hurry to leave today, she would have brought Gu Yulin with her.
The director only said that we can't be late or leave early, he didn't say we can't bring our families, right?
Xu Zhaozhao sighed, opened Weibo, and posted a status update.
Xu Zhaozhao v: Me, the second female lead! A stunning stepmother! [wink][shy] #DirectorDai'sNewMovieStartsFilming#
P.S.: I've already signed it! You should receive it soon. Don't rush me, the kid is signing it! [crying]
[The incredible wealth is finally ready to be shipped!!]
Please save one for me, I'll buy it at a high price, I really love Sister Zhao [crying]
Is Xu Zhaozhao preparing to enter the film industry? It's really hard to say... I wish her success.
[Sweat] Won't he get carried away just because netizens praised him a couple of times? His TV dramas are passable, and he dares to go on to act in movies?
Is film some high and mighty art form? Can't our Sister Zhao even make one? [picking nose]
[Waaaaah, beautiful lady [wink][drooling] I'm going to have to endure the agonizing wait to see her again.]
...
Xu Zhaozhao read the comments for a while, but they weren't original. She turned off her phone and opened the script to read.
Having only glanced at the first page, Xu Zhaozhao is now preparing to read through all her scenes.
My fingertip paused when I turned to the third page.
ah?
Does this movie even have a male lead?
