Gu Pinting was in a daze for several seconds before digesting the fact that she was about to be the female lead.
Not Xi Zuzi, not some seasoned actress, but her, Gu Pinting, playing the role of Nuwa.
If Director Ma doesn’t want her, then change the director!
Aunt is indeed the most amazing aunt in the world, handling both the original author and the investors.
A rush of satisfaction surged straight to her head; for the first time in her life, thanks to Gu Shiyin, she experienced the treatment of a protagonist in a feel-good story.
Damn, it was exhilarating!
She couldn’t help but express to Zhao Jin and the other staff and actresses, "Thank you all, thank you Director Zhao. It turns out, heaven is fair. My looks, dance, effort, and sweat have finally been appreciated. I will definitely perform well and make this show a hit, making everyone who dislikes me regret it! Thank you all for your support just now!"
Seeing Gu Pinting’s smug look, Xi Rubao felt a wave of irritation and couldn’t resist pouring cold water on her: "Ha, give it up. Without Director Ma, this show has no soul. I’ll vote with my feet and won’t watch your show!"
Gu Pinting glared at her: "Who cares if you watch!"
She quickly restrained her arrogance, put on a gentle face, and reached out to tug on Xi Langyue’s sleeve sweetly:
"Brother Lang Yue, let’s work together without holding grudges, okay? Fortune-tellers say I’m a blessing to husbands; I can definitely make you even more popular..."
Before she could finish speaking.
Xi Langyue shook her off disdainfully: "Sorry, bless whoever you want; I need to avoid you. Without Director Ma maintaining quality, I won’t participate in this show." Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs novel fire.net
Gu Pinting, unexpectedly slapped in the face, became flustered and embarrassed: "But this is Shen Ying’s popular script!"
Xi Langyue: "I don’t care what Shen Ying or ghosty shadow it is; choosing you as the lead must mean she’s blind. Zuzi, let’s go. I refuse to act in this drama."
Agent: "...!" Second Master, you’re going furious for your sister’s sake.
Gu Pinting: "...!" Are you crazy, Xi Langyue? You’re not taking up this money-making hit show because Xi Zuzi hexed you?
All the actresses: "..." If Brother Lang Yue won’t act in this, is there any point in fighting for supporting roles?
In an instant, people scattered.
Assistant Director Zhao Jin came over: "Pinting, don’t panic. The investor said they want me to take over as director. From now on, I’ll watch over you. It’s better if Xi Langyue doesn’t act. I’ll find you a young hunk as a supporting actor, making you stand out even more as the leading lady. Tonight, let’s start by studying Shen Ying’s script..."
Gu Pinting was stirred up with excitement: "Mm-hmm!"
She was the feel-good story’s leading lady, and the kind with the most screen time!
When this show becomes a hit, she won’t have to worry about Grandpa denying her the position of the Gu Family’s female heir.
Xi Zuzi accompanied Xi Langyue downstairs to leave.
"Xiao Yueyue, are you upset about losing this job?" Xi Zuzi patted Xi Langyue’s shoulder, like an elder caring for the younger.
Xi Langyue’s lips twitched: "No, I have so much work now I can barely handle it; I don’t lack this one. Those Gu Family people haven’t respected us for twenty years, and their faces annoy me."
Bao Gucheng, who was behind Xi Zuzi, discreetly stepped between the two, reminding Xi Zuzi, "The one who might regret it is Director Ma."
Although those old men pestering Xi Zuzi all the time were quite annoying, with Xi Langyue, who spoils his sister excessively, he’d rather Xi Zuzi focus on Ma Xiaogang.
