This time, Jiujiu was still playing the second female lead, but this time, this role was directly confirmed by Director Li through the audition recommended by Director Mary Sue.
Director Li even felt that if it weren't for Jiang Xiaowan, he would definitely have made Jiujiu the female lead of his movie.
Although Jiujiu's face was as graceful and luxurious as a peony flower, it was very malleable. If it weren't for Jiujiu's lack of height, she would definitely be the kind of supermodel that would go to the world.
However, being the second female lead was also not bad. He was the director, so he could discuss with the scriptwriter and change the script. At worst, he could just make a plot with two female leads.
Director Li simply and crudely confirmed Jiang Xiaowan's scenes. However, because of the additional scenes, the second female lead, who originally had more scenes with the female lead, had more scenes.
Therefore, Jiang Xiaowan was destined to be a tragedy.
Jiang Xiaowan was directly put in by Ouyang, so there was no audition at all. Apart from knowing that she was the female lead and that the male lead was the famous film emperor Zeng Yi, she didn't know anything else. Therefore, when she saw Jiujiu on the set, she was about to explode.
However, even if she didn't explode on the spot, she was close.
Jiang Xiaowan pulled her assistant's hand and pointed at Jiujiu and asked, "Why is she here?"
In response to Jiang Xiaowan's doubts, the assistant naturally kept shaking her head. She was just an assistant. How could she know something that even Jiang Xiaowan herself didn't know?
Seeing the assistant shake her head, Jiang Xiaowan, who had been in a bad mood recently, raised her hand and slapped her. She raised her eyebrows and scolded, "If you don't know, why don't you go and ask? Did I raise you for nothing?"
Being slapped for no reason, and in front of so many people, the assistant's eyes instantly turned red. For a moment, she even wanted to kick her ass and quit.
Although her salary was paid by Jiang Xiaowan, she was not a blockhead. She was also a human with dignity. She could tolerate how Jiang Xiaowan treated her in private, but slapping her in the face in front of so many people was like throwing her face to the ground and grinding it with the soles of her feet. The assistant felt that she could not continue to tolerate it.
However, the little assistant also knew that she was weak and couldn't confront Jiang Xiaowan directly. She chose to swallow her anger and planned to talk to her agent about resigning later.
Jiang Xiaowan's assistant quickly went to check with the crew. When she found out that Jiujiu was chosen by Director Li to be the second female lead, not only did Jiang Xiaowan's face darken, she was on the verge of despair.
She had just been suppressed by Jiujiu all the way from the beginning to the end of the drama, and now she was going to be suppressed by Jiujiu. Just thinking about it made Jiang Xiaowan feel a little hopeless.
Jiang Xiaowan really wanted to quit, but she remembered that she was no longer the person who had Director Ouyang as her backer. If she gave up the lead role in this drama, it would not be easy to get such good resources in the future.
Therefore, even if Jiang Xiaowan was full of reluctance, she could only grit her teeth and endure it.
However, even if she endured it, Jiang Xiaowan's heart was still traumatized by Jiujiu's suppression last time. Therefore, when taking the final makeup photos, especially when taking photos with Jiujiu, she showed a sense of cowardice. She was clearly the female lead, but standing next to Jiujiu, she looked like a little maid.
If it were other directors, they would definitely ask for a reshoot, but Director Li did not like Jiang Xiaowan, who was put in by Director Ouyang, so he felt that she was passable and directly let her go.
If the final makeup photos were like this, there was no need to talk about the future shooting.
After taking the final makeup photos, Jiang Xiaowan returned to the hotel. She wanted to vent her anger on the assistant, but before she could speak, the assistant directly told her that she had resigned.
The assistant had no feelings for Jiang Xiaowan. After saying this sentence, she directly packed her luggage and left. It was less than twenty minutes. When Jiang Xiaowan came back to her senses, the assistant had already left.
The assistant's departure angered Jiang Xiaowan even more. Jiang Xiaowan suppressed her anger and called her agent, but before she could speak, she was scolded by her agent again.
Since the assistant said that Jiang Xiaowan hit her in public, the agent felt that Jiang Xiaowan was an idiot.
It was fine if they couldn't keep Director Ouyang, but now they couldn't even keep a small assistant. What's more, the public's action of slapping the small assistant was simply stupid.
You know, there were so many people on the set. If anyone casually said it, it would be a big deal. If it became a big deal, Jiang Xiaowan would inevitably have a reputation of acting like a big shot.
Now Jiang Xiaowan no longer had Director Ouyang's support. If she acted like a big shot, it would be difficult for Jiang Xiaowan to make a comeback.
After the agent said the seriousness of the matter, Jiang Xiaowan knew that she was afraid.
Seeing that Jiang Xiaowan knew that she was afraid, the agent was too lazy to talk to Jiang Xiaowan. She directly said that she was already looking for an assistant for her and asked her to be patient for a few days.
Jiang Xiaowan's assistant came five days later. However, because she was scolded by her agent, Jiang Xiaowan didn't dare to be as presumptuous as before. Therefore, she got along well with this assistant. Of course, this was compared to her previous assistant.
The filming of a movie was originally much faster than the filming of a TV series. In the crew, except for Jiang Xiaowan, were all veterans. Especially the scenes between Jiujiu and Zeng Yi, they were basically done in one take. It was just that Jiang Xiaowan would be stuck for a while.
Although Jiang Xiaowan had filmed a few TV series and acted in a few movies, it was the first time for her to act in a big production like Director Li's. Logically speaking, it was normal for a newcomer to act in such a big production.
However, with Jiujiu in front of her, no matter what scenes she acted in, Jiang Xiaowan seemed mediocre, and Director Li's attitude became even worse.
With Jiujiu constantly suppressing her, and Director Li scolding her for no reason, Jiang Xiaowan's entire person was in a state of half-collapse. In such a state, Jiang Xiaowan's scenes naturally wouldn't be good.
In the beginning, Director Li would still talk to Jiang Xiaowan about her scenes, but after seeing that Jiang Xiaowan was getting worse and worse, he was too lazy to say anything. He just told Jiang Xiaowan to finish her scenes first and tell her to get lost.
Director Li had already made up his mind. Jiang Xiaowan's scenes would either be cut or fast-forwarded. In short, Director Li didn't want Jiang Xiaowan, this rat, to ruin his movie.
