“I was supposed to get the role of the female lead in ‘Qingqiu Tactics’ that I auditioned for previously. The management company had already released the news, but they only informed me this morning that they changed their mindS!
Su Ji almost puked from Nan Miamiao’s shaking.
She had waited for so many years, and finally, she had gotten the role that she wanted to play the most!
She would be working with the best director and writers in a genre that she was most familiar with.
She thought that she could stop being typecast after her role in “Legend of Wu Tian”, but..
The entire Internet knew that she was going to play that role. Therefore, once the production team notified her, not only had she lost the role, she would also become the laughing stock!
She was supposed to go to the production team this afternoon, but it was canceled at the last minute.
It was a huge blow to her. Lu Shang knew how much she wanted to play this role. He had also seen her jumping around like a monkey after she knew she got the role, so he took time off work to accompany her.
Su Ji applied pressure on the top of her head so that she couldn’t reach her. “What’s the reason?”
Nan Miaomiao was about to pounce on her, but her assistant answered on her behalf, “Ms. Nan was implicated by Ms. Sonya. The netizens knew that they were as close as sisters and had the impression that birds of a feather flock together. It was not obvious when Ms. Sonya first went down. Later on, the netizens went through all of her official Weibo accounts and the spearhead turned to Ms. Nan..
“The production team already felt that Ms. Nan’s image in the audience’s mind doesn’t match the female lead in the script. They were already a little reluctant before this, so after recent events, they changed their minds. Ms. Nan’s manager talked to the person in charge for two hours this morning, but they couldn’t change their minds. I heard that they’ve already come up with a new idea and are planning to hold an audition to choose a new female lead. They have a lot of money over there, and I heard that they’re all interested in big shots.”
Su Ji looked at Nan Miaomiao. “Then you should go for the audition too. You can act.”
Nan Miaomiao shook her head like a rattle-drum. “There’s someone better than me!”
“Oh, right!” The assistant suddenly remembered something. “Ji Xi has changed since she came back from the island. I heard that the studio is busy screening scripts now. Ms. Ji Xi wants to make a comeback and the production team even invited her to attend their audition for the female lead!”
“Oh… ”
Compared to Ji Xi, Nan Miaomiao’s acting skills were indeed…
And if Ji Xi agreed, then the role would be hers.
Nan Miaomiao waved her little fists and shouted, “and my manager said Ms. Ji Xi seemed to have agreed. They’re all bad people! All of them want to compete with me! It was already mine! I even specially signed up for a special training class worth hundreds of thousands of yuan for that role!”
Su Ji rubbed her head and replied lazily, “yes, they’re all bad people. We don’t play with bad people.”
Lu Shang took out a cup of milk tea, put a straw in it, and handed it to her.
“Yes, Miaomiao, Su Ji is right.”
Nan Miaomiao pushed him away and did not want to listen to his advice. However, the next second, the straw reached her mouth. She stopped and took a sip of the milk tea. “Mmm…” She held it in her hands and gulped it down.
Then, just as she stopped talking, Su Ji’s phone rang, She glanced at Pei Xi’s number, took a step to the side, and answered.
Nan Miaomiao sipped on the pearls at the bottom of her milk tea cup and looked at her with her big eyes.
“Su Ji! A new opportunity! They just called me!!” On the phone, Pei Xi’s voice was very loud.
“What new opportunity?”
Pei Xi said, “it’s ‘Qingqiu Tactics’ that has been very popular recently! The scriptwriter personally called and invited you to attend the audition! They even said that they have high hopes for you!”
Nan Miaomiao sucked in all the air and made a loud noise.
Lu Shang also looked at Su Ji.
Pei Xi’s voice was loud, and there was an echo in the tunnel. They all heard it!
Pei Xi said, “what do you think? Should I agree? I think period dramas are very suitable for you! Pei Huai must also want to see you in an ancient costume! Most importantly, according to reliable sources, the pay is very high!!”
Embarrassed, Su Ji turned around.
She remembered what she just said, but Pei Xi had said that the female lead’s pay is very high!
“Ahem.” Su Ji cleared her throat and replied quickly in a low voice, “I’ll call you back later…
The cup in Nan Miaomiao’s hand fell to the ground.
Nan Miaomiao 0001!!
The assistant: -( 0 0 0.:)
Lu Shang:
Su Ji turned around and saw the three’s expressions. She touched the tip of her nose. “I haven’t agreed yet.”
But she did not refuse!
Faced with an opportunity, friendship falls apart!
Later, the four of them went to get movie tickets. Coincidentally, it was a period movie.
Wasn’t it awkward?
While waiting in line to enter, Su Ji asked Nan Miaomiao, “normally, the crew should have notified the person involved a long time in advance. I heard that Ms. Ji Xi already started preparing for the audition very early on, so why did they only tell you this morning?”
Nan Miaomiao felt even more resentful when she mentioned this. “I also said that they were unprofessional! I can only blame the young director in that group. The person in charge informed him the day before yesterday, but he was absent-minded and only remembered to tell me today.”
“Who is it?” Su Ji asked casually.
Nan Miaomiao tapped her chin with her index finger. “He worked on
‘Cohabitation’ previously. I heard that he’s a newcomer with quite a lot of potential, but so what? The truth has proven that a newcomer is a newcomer. He actually forgot such an important thing. Luckily, it was me. If it were anyone else, they would have sued him at best! At the very least, he would have to compensate for the money we spent on marketing!”
“A newcomer director with potential…” Su Ji repeated slowly. Nan Miaomiao remembered. “I think he’s called He Yu!!”
Su Ji looked at her.
He Yu?
This person was usually the most rigorous in his work. He was always meticulous and never dropped the ball. That was why he was able to participate in several big productions before he graduated.
How could he forget such an important thing..
