Chapter 136: Chapter 136 Entertainment Circle’s Best Actress VS Lucky Newcomer (Part 21)
When Gu Shengyin saw Ming Shujia again, she was clearly startled for a moment.
The Ming Shujia before her was pale, her make-up unable to conceal her haggard look.
It seemed she hadn’t had the easiest time these past few days.
Understandable, really, considering the high price she paid for the role she’d obtained, which if lost due to her own reasons, would leave anyone unable to fathom.
“How pitiful,” Gu Shengyin sighed.
The system suddenly felt a sense of crisis, and just as it was about to caution its host not to be deceived by Ming Shujia’s appearance, it heard Gu Shengyin say the next sentence.
“I do want to see her look even more pitiful,” Gu Shengyin clicked her tongue and lamented.
It was evident that Ming Shujia had put in a lot of effort these past two days, and had worked hard; however… it was all in vain.
“Cut!” Director Li, with a furrowed brow, called a halt.
He said to Ming Shujia, “I made myself clear a couple of days ago. You can go, and don’t come back tomorrow.”
Ming Shujia’s complexion turned deathly pale, as she nearly begged Director Li to give her another chance through her tears.
But Director Li, obviously no stranger to such scenes, was completely unmoved, only instructing the set staff to escort her away.
Not a single person spoke up to plead on her behalf.
Ming Shujia looked around at each person present, swearing to herself that one day, just , these people would kneel before her, crying and begging just as she did today.
If Gu Shengyin knew of her thoughts, she would certainly ask, “Where do you get this confidence from?”
Eventually, Ming Shujia’s role was taken over by an actress with decent fame and solid acting skills, causing no more blunders, and Director Li’s expression finally relaxed.
Following that, Gu Shengyin was running back and forth between the set and home every day, and except for Ludwig’s relentless harassment with a phone call day after day, she was almost too busy to interact with anyone else.
Until the film was wrapped up.
“Finally finished!” Xu Ruyun from the same crew let out a deep breath.
All of them felt deeply about it as “Divinity,” the movie they were working on, featured many battle scenes, requiring the actors to frequently get rigged up with wires, not to mention the numerous scenes with water and rolling on the ground.
Director Li also revealed a smile.
“Tonight at the Cloudy Sky Grand Hotel, dinner’s on me!”
“Director Li is indeed generous!”
The following evening, the entire crew showed up at the Cloudy Sky Grand Hotel.
“Here’s to a huge box office success!”
One by one, they got dead drunk and were taken home by their respective agents.
It took Gu Shengyin several days of sleeping till the world spun to finally feel like she’d come back to life.
Of course, she was mainly jolted awake by a piece of news.
[Young Owner of Star Entertainment finds new love!]
[Young Owner Yu Siyang’s new flame Ming Shujia, past scandals unearthed!]
As Gu Shengyin read it over, she expressed her opinion, “Ming Shujia, this woman, really is like an indestructible cockroach. With such a past already exposed, she could still hook up with the Young Owner of Star Entertainment.”
Whether Yu Siyang didn’t care about her past, or Ming Shujia convinced him that those reports were false, it proved the woman’s means were anything but ordinary.
Sure enough, the next day, Ruan Keyi saw Ming Shujia at the company.
Compared to a few days ago, Ming Shujia exuded a completely different aura.
Gu Shengyin glanced at her, adorned head-to-toe in top brands, her makeup exquisite and fitting, nothing like her former worn look.
