Just then, a middle-aged man walked in from the front door. He was the director of 'The Assassin of Myself', Jiang Lang. He was in his forties and looked mature.
Jiang Lang said, "Zhang Qi, how's it going? Is it done?"
Zhang Qi replied, "Not yet."
"We have to speed it up," Jiang Lang said. "The notice has been sent out. All the actors have to come on time."
Geng Shitong's face turned pale, but she calmed herself down and smiled at the camera.
Zhang Qi quickly pressed the shutter and flipped through the original film on the camera. His eyes narrowed. "Hmm, not bad this time."
Geng Shitong debuted with her acting skills, so she was quite smart. It was just that she wasn't in a good state just now, so it took some time.
Zhang Qi showed the original film to Jiang Lang, and Jiang Lang nodded. "Okay."
Geng Shitong was done with her shoot. She gestured for her assistant to take her bag and walked straight to Chi Ying.
Chi Ying didn't know what was going on, but she still smiled and said, "Hello, Senior."
Geng Shitong sized Chi Ying up from head to toe, thinking that she was indeed the girl in the photo. She laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "You're Chi Ying? The female lead of Director Gu's new film? "
"I'm Chi Ying." Chi Ying could hear the frivolity in Geng Shitong's words, so she said coldly, "I'm not the female lead. I'm just a supporting role."
"You're being modest." Geng Shitong said in an unfriendly tone, "Director Gu will use a supporting role as the first promotional picture?"
Chi Ying wanted to ask Geng Shitong for an autograph for Zhao Wan, but she gave up. No matter how dense she was, she could tell that Geng Shitong didn't like her.
Chi Ying said, "Director Gu has his own arrangements."
Geng Shitong snorted and walked past her. The team was huge. Even after walking out for a long time, the fragrance of her hair still lingered in the air.
"She's always like that," Su Lan said to Chi Ying. "Do you know each other?" It seemed that there was a conflict.
"I don't know her." Chi Ying shook her head. "I thought she had a soft and cute personality." She was really different from the fake persona on Weibo.
"That's because of the team's marketing." Su Lan was not surprised. "The path to stardom is too smooth. They're very delicate."
At this moment, Jiang Lang also noticed Chi Ying. He called her over and said to her, "Hello, Chi Ying. I'm Jiang Lang, the executive director of 'Stabbing Myself'."
Chi Ying had thought he looked familiar before. So it was Jiang Lang. He had acted in several popular dramas, so many netizens knew him. But in his impression, Jiang Lang seemed to be the director of Oushi Media? Did he jump ship?
Jiang Lang's gaze was especially sharp. With just a glance, it gave people a feeling of boldness. Chi Ying didn't have time to think and hurriedly said, "Hello, Director Jiang."
"With me, there's no such thing as close or distant. I only treat everyone equally," Jiang Lang reminded her. "If you don't act well, I won't be soft-hearted to anyone."
Chi Ying didn't know that Lu Jingyan had invested in 'Stabbing Myself', nor did she understand the meaning behind Jiang Lang's words. She thought that it was good to treat everyone equally. She liked directors with principles. She nodded repeatedly. "I'll work hard."
She was looking forward to this drama. It made her feel that she was very close to her dream. The regrets of her previous life gradually disappeared.
Jiang Lang looked at Chi Ying's sparkling eyes and couldn't help but look at her again. The girl's face was delicate and beautiful. She looked pale and weak against the makeup.
Jiang Lang was satisfied, but he still said solemnly, "Get into the state of the character." She couldn't look like she was now with sparkling eyes.
Su Lan finally helped Chi Ying adjust her makeup and smiled at her. "Good luck."
"Okay, thank you, Sister Su." Chi Ying also smiled at her and then walked to the studio.
There were no scenes or other characters here. The studio was white and the lights were a little dazzling. Chi Ying recalled the plot and put herself in the situation of the second female lead.
She was the second oldest in the family. After her older sister was born, her parents wanted another boy so they gave birth to her. Her father's family was feudal and favored boys over girls. Not long after she was born, her parents began to quarrel endlessly. Not long after, their marriage broke up. Her mother vented her anger on her. She would be scolded if she made a little mistake. She was always trembling with fear and treading on thin ice. Not long after, her mother changed her marriage with her older sister. Later, her father had a son who was three years older than her older sister. He was the male lead and had a cold personality. Her older sister was warm and cheerful and likable. She was inferior and timid. She was full of negative energy and would always be forgotten by others.
In an instant, Chi Ying's sparkling eyes were filled with inferiority, hesitation and timidity.
Jiang Lang was very shocked. She was talking and laughing with the stylist just a second ago. How did she get into the mood in the next second?
He had been working as a director for so many years, and even the best actors he had seen couldn't change their emotions so quickly. There was a row of exclamation marks in his heart.
Since Oushi Media took over the production of "Stabbing Myself", Lu Jingyan asked him to terminate all the contracts of the protagonists and supporting roles selected by the former director Qi Hongcheng, pay a large sum of liquidated damages, and then re-select them with harsh conditions. During the whole process, only Chi Ying, who played the second female lead, was left. There was a rumor in the production team that Chi Ying was the candidate chosen by Lu Jingyan. Although there was no certainty, Chi Ying was indeed the only newcomer in the crew. She was even a newcomer who hadn't even debuted.
