Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Although Li Meihong was a female director, she was quite straightforward. Wearing a man’s buzz cut, other than her name, nothing about her reminded you of a woman.
And what annoyed female directors the most were those actresses who cared nothing about acting but loved to gossip behind people’s backs. This was a well-known fact.
At this moment, the actresses got caught humiliating and making fun of Guan Meiyi by Ling Tianya and Director Li. So, they all started to panic.
Ling Tianya originally came to see Guan Meiyi’s filming. But when she came over, she heard these actresses discussing the things about her online. Guan Meiyi warned them, but they lashed out at her as a group.
Then, the deputy director called Guan Meiyi to film, and Ling Tianya decided not to show herself. Instead, she went straight to the filming location and secretly observed Guan Meiyi.
She could tell that Guan Meiyi put a lot of heart into this role. Her acting skills had also greatly improved. She tried to really understand this character and then transformed herself into the character. This was the highest level of acting.
Because she acted with heart, even though her lines had some flaws, Li Meihong still let her pass with just one take.
After filming this scene, Ling Tianya went to find Li Meihong. After all, it was her space and she should go and say hello.
Li Meihong herself respected Ling Tianya’s work. When she heard that she was looking for Guan Meiyi, she personally brought her over.
However, as soon as they arrived, they heard the other actresses humiliating Guan Meiyi. Guan Meiyi had obviously become the target of collective bullying in the crew.
This made Li Meihong, who always publicly declared to be fair and just, feel embarrassed. Especially when she heard Ling Tianya say, “Are all the actresses in your crew of this calibre?”
“Director Li…” The actresses looked at Li Meihong, panicked.
Li Meihong did not look at them. She called the deputy director over. “Who recruited these people?”
The deputy director was stunned. “They were recommended by Miss Pan of Zhiya Entertainment. She wanted to see if there were any suitable roles for them to play.”
“Get them all out! And you tell that Miss Pan, don’t recommend these random toxic people to my crew. Otherwise, don’t blame me for not being nice!”
As soon as they heard that Li Meihong was kicking them out, the actresses rushed to plead with her with red eyes.
Li Meihong paid no attention to them. With a frown on her face, she didn’t even want to look at them.
The deputy director felt sorry that these flowery young girls were being kicked out. But the director had spoken, and he could only obey.
“Don’t say anything anymore. Just leave. Go back and learn how to behave like a person. Stop talking about people behind their backs.” The deputy director spoke loud enough so Li Meihong could hear.
The actresses were not reconciled and still wanted to plead, but they had been taken by the deputy director and kicked out of the door.
Guan Meiyi watched the young girls who were so arrogant and obnoxious towards her just a second ago get kicked out of by Li Meihong because of Ling Tianya’s few words and had mixed feelings inside.
People who were returned by the crew like this basically would be on Miss Pan’s blacklist, and there wouldn’t be opportunities for them in the future.
Knowing that Ling Tianya came to see Guan Meiyi, Li Meihong did not stay for long. She simply said hello and went back to filming.
It was a long wait away before Guan Meiyi’s next scene, so she had some time. She looked at Ling Tianya rather awkwardly. “Congratulations, you are going to be a mother.”
Ling Tianya found a place to sit down and pointed to a seat next to her. “Sit down and we’ll talk.”
