Chapter 26: Face Twisted in Anger
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Most people in the circle had already received news of the KT Entertainment and HuanYu’s cross-century collaboration, and they also knew that the female lead of “Return to Ning” was to be selected from KT.
Considering the number of press releases Rong Weiwei had issued, quite a few people in the industry were waiting to see her become the butt of jokes.
Outside HuanYu’s exclusive makeup room, passing staff could hear the sound of things being smashed to pieces inside, and they exchanged knowing glances —it was the “future boss’s wife’s” exclusive makeup room after all.
Rong Weiwei furiously smashed the last bottle of SK Fairy Water to the ground, shattering it completely, before her heaving chest began to calm down slightly. It was only then that her agent dared to cautiously approach and offered her a bottle of mineral water, “Weiwei, have some water.
“I don’t want it,” Rong Weiwei pushed her hand away, feeling a surge of anger in her chest.
Why did the leading lady of “Return to Ning” have to be selected from KT Entertainment!
She had already told everyone that “Return to Ning” was in the bag for her, and now suddenly she was being told there was a change of cast—wasn’t this a slap in her face?
What she couldn’t accept the most was that Rong Yan was also with KT!
Although the chances of Rong Yan, a washed-up, eighteenth-tier celebrity with scandals, getting this big break were virtually negligible, Weiwei hadn’t forgotten that Rong Yan had a beautiful face!
In this circle, there were basically two ways to climb the ranks—background and body.
Rong Yan might not have a background, but that face of hers was as attractive to men as money!
Especially since she had approached KT’s management to get rid of her, only for them to reply that Rong Yan had just come upon the audition opportunity for “Return to Ning,” so she was not going anywhere. They even returned her gift!
Rong Weiwei’s chest heaved violently, especially when she remembered how Rong Yan had caused her to lose face in front of the paparazzi, making her absolutely furious!
The agent silently set down the mineral water and cautiously organized her words, “Weiwei, I didn’t expect ‘Return to Ning’ to choose an actress from KT either. I’m not sure if this news is accurate. Why don’t you call Mr. Shi and ask him?”
Ronz Weiwei’s anger subsided slightlv, and she zentlv wiped the water stains
off her hand, saying, “Mufeng is still abroad; he has heard about this and said he would help me secure the role of the third female lead in ‘Three Kingdoms’.”
Just after Shi Mufeng had gone abroad, the female lead role of “Return to Ning” went to a KT artist. It seemed like the Shi Family still didn’t completely regard her as one of their own.
Rong Weiwei casually tossed away the used tissue, her lips curling in disdain.
So what if the Shi Family looked down on her? As long as she firmly held onto Shi Mufeng, sooner or later, she would become the HuanYu Hostess!
“Really? Weiwei, Mr. Shi is really too good to you!” Her agent’s face lit up with surprise, swiftly congratulating her.
In the entertainment industry with its clear rank distinctions, becoming a top-tier star meant breaking into big-screen films!
Although Rong Weiwei had starred in a hugely popular TV series, it was still small-screen work, and even with a Golden Eagle Award, she was, at most, an almost second-tier celebrity—she was still far from the second tier, let alone the first.
But securing the third female lead role in the big-budget film “Three
Kingdoms” was different; she could at least break into the second tier.
There were very few artists who could make it to the second tier at her age, and for her, climbing to the first tier was just a matter of time.
That’s why her agent was so excited.
It was great about artists with a background! They didn’t need to worry about resources—good opportunities would always come knocking, saving her tons of time!
“Not bad,” Rong Weiwei inwardly enjoyed the flattery but didn’t show it on her face. Her lips curled up slightly as she said, “It’s a pity it’s only the third female lead..”
