"Work hard and do what you want to do. Leave the rest to Fang Yan." Fu Huai 'an's deep voice seemed to have the power to comfort people.
After hanging up the call, Lin Nuan felt that her fingertips were warm. Under Fang Yan's arrangements, things were progressing in an orderly manner.
Lin Nuan's mind was filled with Fu Huai 'an's charming voice. After a long while, she calmed down and looked down at the original work she had read countless times.
The makeup artist came a little late. Lin Nuan didn't say anything and sat there quietly, reading her book and letting the makeup artist do her hair.
When the makeup artist came in, the door wasn't closed properly. The sounds of the staff chatting could be heard through the crack in the door.
Two staff members held cups of water in their hands and hugged their elbows as they sat on the props box, chatting with their backs to the wall near the door.
Staff member
A: "The author of 'The Exorcist' is too arrogant! Who's Fang Yan? She's Ms. Fang, the one who brought up a few heavenly kings and queens! How could she reject her just like that! "
Staff member
B: "How is the author rejecting Ms. Fang? She made it clear … she's rejecting the mistress!"
Staff member
A: "Mistress? Are you talking about Lin Nuan? "
Staff member
B: "Exactly! You're late today, but the author came early and got into an argument with the director. She said she liked Feng Wuluan's past life the most. She used to think that Lin Nuan's infatuation was similar to Feng Wuluan's, and it was Su Manman's recommendation that made her agree. She didn't expect Lin Nuan to be a mistress! And a mistress with no acting experience at all. She'll ruin her Feng Wuluan! "
Staff member
A: "Mistress? How did she become a mistress again? "
Staff member
B: "Didn't you see Weibo? Everyone's saying Lin Nuan is a mistress, seducing their father while their mother isn't around! "
When Lin Nuan heard this, she didn't have time to react before she felt a sharp pain in her scalp.
"Sorry!"
The makeup artist, who was combing Lin Nuan's hair, said in a polite but distant tone.
Lin Nuan looked in the mirror. Although the makeup artist didn't look disgusted, she didn't seem to like Lin Nuan either.
Lin Nuan sensed an unusual atmosphere the moment she entered the set. It was probably due to that Weibo post.
After putting on her makeup, Lin Nuan put the original novel into her bag and walked towards the studio in her heavy costume.
The moment they entered the studio, Lin Nuan heard the original author's voice rising uncontrollably. "She can't play the role of Feng Wuluan's past life well at all! Shoot if you don't believe me! I'll post on Weibo to clarify that I don't agree with Lin Nuan, an inexperienced host, acting as Feng Wuluan's previous incarnation. Whether Lin Nuan's Feng Wuluan is good or bad has nothing to do with me! Don't blame me if there's a problem with the box office! Don't say that I'm dragging you down by posting something on Weibo! "
After that, the author walked out in a huff.
Just as he reached the door, the author saw Lin Nuan, who was already dressed up. He gritted his teeth and left.
Lin Nuan had read the original work many times, so she knew that Feng Wuluan's character from her past life was interspersed throughout the entire book. It could even be said that she played a crucial role in many things, which showed how much the author favored this character. Even though this character had never appeared before, she lived in every corner of the book.
Lin Nuan clenched her fists by her sides. This time around, Su Manman had asked her to help, so she couldn't possibly drag Su Manman down.
The author left the studio in a huff, and almost everyone's gazes were focused on Lin Nuan. They lowered their voices and whispered to each other, pointing at Lin Nuan with their gazes.
The feeling of everyone talking about you in front of you, yet they had to lower their voices so that you couldn't hear them, and they had to use their gazes to tell you that they were talking about you. This feeling made Lin Nuan feel suffocated.
Fang Yan, who was talking to the director, saw that Lin Nuan had already changed and had her makeup done. She persuaded the director to calm down from his earlier argument with the author and walked towards Lin Nuan.
Fang Yan's countenance didn't look too good. She said to Lin Nuan solemnly, "You've seen the situation, Lin Nuan … you have to do a good job in this role. There's no way out!"
Lin Nuan felt an inexplicable sense of pressure, and her fingers trembled slightly.
She nodded her head vigorously.
The director's anger subsided a little. He picked up his teacup and had just taken a sip of tea when the assistant director anxiously raised his phone to show the director the author's new Weibo post. The director smashed the teacup in his hands. "Damn it! That idiot! What f * cking good does she get by posting this?! "
Lin Nuan raised her head and looked in the director's direction, her heart in her throat.
The moment Fang Yan heard the director's words, she knew what had happened. She turned her head and glanced at the furious director, then grabbed Lin Nuan's wrist and walked to the side to avoid others. She said to Lin Nuan, "The author has seen the scene you filmed previously, especially after the news broke this morning. Now, the author is especially against you acting in the role of Feng Wuluan's previous reincarnation and is forcing the director to replace you! The director also has this thought, so … you have to give it your all! You have to perform well! "
Just as Fang Yan finished speaking, she heard someone calling out to the director.
Lin Nuan turned around and saw the director walking towards her.
Seeing the director's dark expression, Lin Nuan's heart pounded violently, and a thin layer of sweat formed on her palms.
Fang Yan's countenance didn't look good either, but she was more composed than Lin Nuan. She smiled. "Director Chen …"
Lin Nuan's nervous breathing quickened slightly. She adjusted her breathing and looked towards the director.
The director stood in front of Lin Nuan, gazing at her with a pair of deep and slightly red eyes. He raised his hand and placed it on Lin Nuan's shoulder.
Lin Nuan bit the tender flesh in her lip and put on a calm expression. She was already prepared for the worst. If the director decided to replace her, she wouldn't have any complaints.
It was just that Lin Nuan had put in a lot of effort and developed a different feeling for this role, so it was inevitable that she couldn't bear to part with it.
Lin Nuan held her breath and looked towards the director with her clear and clean eyes. Her right hand silently grabbed the layer of chiffon over her costume …
"Lin Nuan, I'm in the same boat as you now. I insist on using you, so now, I can only use you to the end! You have to work hard! "The director's expression was solemn.
Use her to the end?
Fang Yan was a little surprised as well. She switched on her phone and glanced at the original author, Shu Xin's Weibo. Only then did she understand why the stubborn Director Chen had made such a decision …
