The actresses and staff were all nervous about Ma Xiaogang’s fiery and straightforward temperament, and even more worried about their auditions today.
If Zuzi pushed out Gu Pinting and took the lead female role, making Shen Ying unhappy, then their roles as second, third, and fourth female roles would also be in jeopardy.
Therefore, each of them began to praise Gu Pinting insincerely or tried advising Ma Xiaogang:
"Director, actually Miss Gu’s dance just now was pretty good. Of course, there’s still a gap compared to Brother Lang Yue’s professional level, but for acting, it’s enough."
"Yeah, yeah, this drama is mainly about love anyway. Let’s just shoot a sweet love story."
"Director, you’re an international director, and Shen Ying is a great scriptwriter. Only with your strong collaboration can you produce a masterpiece. Don’t ruin your collaboration and relationship over irrelevant outsiders."
Ma Xiaogang, fed up: "Everyone, shut up!"
These folks are swayed by the wind, each disregarding basic facts just for a bit of self-interest.
Gu Pinting’s messy dancing, can that even be called dancing?
Shen Ying not knowing Nuwa’s instrument, can that even be called a boss?
Then again, staying silent overnight cannot be tolerated!
"My mind is made up, only if Zuzi plays the lead female role will I shoot!" Ma Xiaogang solemnly declared, looking at the girl still texting with Gu Qiusha.
Everyone followed his gaze: "..."
Oh my god, is a troubled girl engrossed in electronic devices worth such strong support?
Gu Pinting tidied up her messy makeup in the restroom, pricked her finger to let a good deal of blood onto her bracelet, before managing to restore her fair skin, covered the two huge pimples on her face with a large amount of concealer, and walked out, pale.
At first, she was ecstatic to hear that her aunt really contacted the original author to back her up.
But in the next second, upon hearing Ma Xiaogang’s decisive statement preferring only Zuzi, her joy turned to sorrow!
Even a bigwig like her aunt with deep connections couldn’t change Director Ma’s mind?
Would her dream role as Nuwa really slip away?
Seeing Zuzi still leaning in Bao Gucheng’s arms casually chatting on her smartwatch as if nothing concerned her, it was simply infuriating!
A country bumpkin who knows nothing, just relying on support from a big director?
With a face full of disappointment and sarcasm, she walked over: "Zuzi, are you happy now that you’ve taken away what’s mine? I’m telling you, I’ll expose your true colors in front of grandpa! You’re just like what my mom said, just like Gu Qiusha, a cheap person who can’t stand us direct Gu Family members having good fortune..."
Before finishing, a sharp pain struck her forehead.
Touching it, ah, another huge pimple emerged! She was about to go crazy!
Zuzi’s red lips curled slightly, responding to Gu Qiusha on her smartwatch: "Xiao Sha, keep it up, can’t wait to see your next slow comic, uh, it’d be great if you could speed it up..."
After replying, she finally raised her head unhurriedly, scanning the furious Gu Pinting with a half-smile: "Heard your mom also invested in this drama, planning to bring investment into the crew and make a big fortune?"
Gu Pinting gritted her teeth: "So this lead role should have been mine!"
Zuzi shook her head: "Then your mom might end up losing everything."
Gu Pinting: "..." Snatching my lead role and cursing my mom?! These country people are revolting!
Just as Gu Pinting was about to explode with anger.
Assistant Director Zhao Jin rushed out, incoherent: "Gu Pinting, no need to argue with her, the lead role... it’s yours!"
Gu Pinting was stunned, as if in a dream: "What, what did you say?" New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on novel·fiɾe·net
"The investor just called personally, he supports Shen Ying’s view and has appointed you as the lead actress!"
"Rea, really? Then Director Ma..."
Ma Xiaogang is notoriously hot-tempered, and Gu Pinting still had lingering fear.
The assistant director sneered: "Shen Ying said if the director doesn’t choose you, then they’ll replace the director!"
Everyone present gasped collectively.
Shen Ying truly deserved to be the badass boss wearing a mask, so wild, so arrogant!
