Chapter 210: Chapter 210: Y-Yes!
Zhao Manshi looked around but couldn’t find Gu Manxi.
Her pretty face was full of unhappiness. She took out her cell phone and called Gu Manxi, but no one answered.
“Strange… is she not on the set?” Zhao Manshi muttered to herself.
After wandering around the set, she couldn’t help but feel disappointed. After strolling around the studio for a while, she accidentally bumped into two chatterbox extras who were discussing Gu Manxi’s “bad deeds” in a low voice. Zhao Manshi got angry when she heard that and scolded the two of them again.
The two extras looked at Zhao Manshi with a strange expression. They did not say anything and ran away dejectedly.
Zhao Manshi’s mood became even worse.
Why is Gu Manxi’s reputation this bad over here? The production team was full of people who spoke ill of her. After all, she was the daughter of the Zhao family. The Zhao family was also a prestigious family with a place in the capital. If this matter was publicized, it would be a disgrace to the family…
Just as she was thinking this, Lu Shanhe, Jiang Cheng, and Gu Chu walked out from the corner.
Lu Shanhe and Jiang Cheng once again witnessed Zhao Manshi’s perfect switch between a cursing lunatic and a polite young lady. Lu Shanhe was more and more satisfied. The second female lead in his script was precisely an unruly young lady from the Republic of China.
This unruly second female lead was willful and rebellious in the beginning. She had two faces, one in front of people and the other at the back. She could switch between them extremely smoothly.
Although she was willful and unruly, her character was quite likable, and it was quite difficult to perform.
Cao Yuezhi had played this role before, and her acting skills were passable. However, Lu Shanhe felt that something was missing. Today, when he met Zhao Manshi, who was cursing, Lu Shanhe finally understood that what Cao Yuezhi lacked was “a natural aristocratic temperament.”.
Cao Yuezhi was born poor, and she had climbed all the way to the position of best actress. Her body was more polished and mature, and she could not act the pure and unruly nature of a rich young girl.
Zhao Manshi was different. She was the daughter of the Zhao family in the capital. She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. She was at the prime of her life and had a lively and unruly personality. She knew how to change her image very well. She was practically the second female lead that was tailor-made for this movie!
“Director Lu, Mr. Jiang.” Zhao Manshi had already switched to her elegant side. Her every move was filled with the temperament of a lady from an aristocratic family. She was completely different from the shrew who had just scolded someone. Her voice was just right and gentle, her expression was just right and perfect. “Have you guys seen my sister? I have something to ask her.”
Lu Shanhe said, “Manxi is still resting. I’ll bring you to see her later. On the other hand, Miss Zhao, are you interested in acting in my movie?”
Zhao Manshi said, “My sister is resting” Alright then — wait, acting?”
Zhao Manshi suddenly realized what he just said.
Her almond-shaped eyes widened slightly as she pointed at herself in disbelief. Her voice trembled slightly as she stuttered in excitement, “Director Lu, Director Lu, you’re inviting me to be a guest star in your production team?! I… Of course I’m willing!”
A huge prize was thrown at her head!
Only a fool would not accept it!
“Very good, I’ll give you a portion of the second female lead’s script later,” Lu Shanhe said with a smile. “If you’re free, you can try out a few scenes first. If everything works out, I’ll sign a script contract with you for the second female lead.”
Zhao Manshi’s red lips slightly opened, but she didn’t close them for a long time. “The… second female lead… I-I thought it was just a cameo…”
“In other words… II-I’m replacing Cao Yuezhi…”
Probably because she was excited, Zhao Manshi’s pretty face flushed red.
