“Are your heads the surface of the moon? Your heads are full of holes!” Zhao Manshi’s temper flared up. She rushed to the front of the two gossiping actors and put her hands on her hips, “Why don’t you take a piss and take a look at yourselves? Gu Manxi is good-looking and her acting skills are good, so she deserves to be the female lead! The two of you don’t even deserve to act in Director Lu’s movie!”
The two extras were suddenly roasted, and they were baffled.
One of them reacted and looked Zhao Manshi up and down. She said mockingly, “I can way whatever I want, so why do you care what I say? Look at you all dressed up. Which director are you trying to get?”
Zhao Manshi sneered, she took out her phone and took a picture of the two of them. “I’m not an actress, but the boss of Hengdian is my friend. If you guys continue to spout nonsense, I’ll immediately send your photos to him. From now on, none of the production teams will use the two of you.”
Zhao Manshi had a noble temperament and was dressed exquisitely. She was definitely not someone to be trifled with.
The two co-stars looked at each other and did not dare to say anything more. They ran away dejectedly.
One of them whispered, “You look quite rich. Why don’t you have any manners at all?”
Manners?
Zhao Manshi smiled disdainfully. Do you think you two are privileged enough for me to show you two small characters my manners?
Taking a deep breath, she calmed down her violent emotions. She raised her head and straightened her dress, regaining her elegance.
She had long learned how to switch forms in a second. This place was still far from the capital, so there was no need to pretend to be an elegant lady.
“A pair of spineless trash who only knows how to ruin people’s reputation behind their backs.” Zhao Manshi rolled up her hair and continued to wander around Hengdian. Unknowingly, she ran back to Director Lu’s production team.
From afar, she saw Gu Manxi, a graceful woman in a cheongsam in the middle of the shot. Gu Manxi and Jiang Cheng had a climactic scene in which the two of them were testing each other and exchanging words. Neither of them made any concessions, the scene was full of tension.
Zhao Manshi heard the murmurs of the surrounding actors:
“Oh my God, I’m going to be so gay for Goddess Manxi! She’s so handsome and pretty no matter what she wears! Gimme a chance!”
“The fact that she could act with Jiang Cheng meant that she’s extremely talented…”
“Did you see Goddess Manxi’s slap just now? It was so good! I want to learn this and go back to slap my husband to practice!”
“Her acting skills are even better than that movie queen?”
The surrounding people were all praising her. For some reason, Zhao Manshi felt a little proud.
Zhao Manshi’s mood fluctuated like a roller coaster. Her previous anger, shame, and anger miraculously disappeared. She stared blankly at Gu Manxi under the photography light. This woman seemed to be shining. She was born to be the female lead.
“You still have some strength. I underestimated you in the past,” Zhao Manshi muttered and secretly raised the corner of her mouth. Her previous impression of Gu Manxi was all based on her mother’s description. She had been influenced by her mother’s words and was prejudiced against her.
Now that they were in close contact, Zhao Manshi finally understood that some people were not born lucky. Only those who had strong determination and skills were qualified to be favored by luck.
“What my mother said is not quite right. Gu Manxi doesn’t seem to be that annoying…”
Zhao Manshi slowly left Hengdian. Before she left, her meaningful gaze fell in the direction of Director Lu’s film crew.
The sky was still blue. The driver was waiting for Zhao Manshi at the intersection. “Miss, you’re back so early.”
Zhao Manshi lifted the hem of her dress and sat down elegantly. “I’m going home.”
The driver asked curiously, “Miss, did you give that woman a hard time?”
