When Susie stood in front of the dressing table, her assistant next to her began to flatter her. âMiss Susie, those reporters looked like they were going to chew you up and spit you out. Itâs ridiculous.â
âLin, donât spout nonsense.â Susie scolded angrily.
âMiss Susie, Iâm just speaking the truth.â The assistant said with grievance. âThose reporters swarmed you as soon as they saw you even when there were other people around. But itâs also expected since anything Miss Susie does nowadays becomes big news. After your last movie, everyone called you the national goddess. Your competence and popularity are clear to all. Who else would they swarm if not you?â
âLin, didnât you hear what I said?â Susie spoke again but there was no real reprimand in her tone.
âMiss Susie, youâre just too kind. You only went out with your friends like any normal person and they wrote you up like that. Someone must have engineered this so you couldnât become the female lead in the new movie. Some people are just despicable.â Susieâs assistant continued to speak up for her.
âItâs fine. We wonât know the result until the end. Being the female lead isnât that easy.â Susie sat in the chair to wait for a makeup artist to help her with her makeup. She glanced at Gu Huanhuan knowingly when she said that.
Gu Huanhuan looked back at Susie innocently. Was Susie implying that it was her?
As there were only a few people in the dressing room, and Susie sounded weird when talked about the female lead, the sarcasm in her last sentence especially obviousâ¦
There was indeed no peace in the industry. A nest of vipers was inevitable with so many women around.
Since Susie did not mention her name, Gu Huanhuan naturally need not admit to anything. So, she pretended that nothing happened and continued with her work. She did not need a makeup artist.
Because she didnât need to have an exquisite face like Susie; her makeup was so light that she looked like she hadnât applied any. The faint blush on her cheeks brought out a quiet and gentle temperament. She didnât looked stunning but still very pleasant.
Yun Duo in the movie was just like that, very pure and innocent.
Gu Huanhuan looked at herself in the mirror and nodded in satisfaction.
She just wanted to do her role justice and not pay attention to any malicious gossip.
Susie was so angry when she saw Gu Huanhuanâs indifference that she wanted to stomp her feet.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
If she hadnât been captured on video that day, how could Gu Huanhuan be the female lead? She didnât deserve the role because she cheated.
Susie had always been very confident about her auditions. She felt that she had been perfect and would definitely win the role. That was why she went out that night. She hadnât planned on cheating that night, which wasnât a big deal to her anyway, but she was worried that people would recognize her so she put on very heavy makeup. Her image didnât match that of the female protagonist in the movie âMeeting by Chanceâ.
If her video popped up again when the movie was premiered, the audience would be up in arms.
Therefore, the investors wouldnât take the risk and excluded Susie from the female protagonist role.
Actually, Director Guan had always had his eye on Gu Huanhuan. He thought that she was very versatile and could portray the female protagonistâs temperament well.
It was just a fact that the overconfident person didnât know.
The first day of filming went quite well because Gu Huanhuan was in top form. Most of her scenes were done in a single take.
On the other hand, Susie kept making silly mistakes, which was unacceptable for a perfectionist director like Director Guan.
As a result, they were slightly behind schedule.
Sister Gao arrived when it was almost time to wrap up for the day.
âHow is it?â Sister Gao was busy today, so another assistant was taking care of Gu Huanhuan.
âItâs alright. I feel good.â Gu Huanhuan said with a smile.
As she spoke, she looked at her phone and then frowned. Why did she have two missed calls? She checked the caller IDs and found the number familiar.
