"I heard the female lead has already been confirmed... Have you guys heard?"
"That can't be possible. Half of the people haven't auditioned yet. "
"It's true. I have some connections on set. I heard the female lead has already been confirmed..."
"Then who is it? Is it Gu Heng? "
The remaining people had already heard the news. As for those that had auditioned, they heard from Wei An's assistant that they were only auditioning for supporting roles. But, even if it was a supporting role, they still fought tooth and nail. After all, even if it was just an extra, it was still possible for them to appear on screen.
Everyone assumed that Gu Heng was the one that had been confirmed. Even Gu Heng herself thought so. After all, a role like a thug was tailor-made for her. Out of all the actresses that had been auditioned, she had the highest chance of acting.
However, to her surprise, that very night, Gu Heng's manager received news that Tangning was Wei An's female lead. So, she asked Gu Heng if she wanted to play the role of the older sister.
"How much did Hai Rui bribe Wei An with?" Gu Heng asked as she stood under the chandelier with her arms crossed.
"I heard Wei An has already sent the contract over. Heng Jie, I suggest we accept even a supporting role. Firstly, this is a rare opportunity. Secondly, you can prove that you are a thousand times better than Tangning. "
"Of course I want to accept it." Gu Heng closed her eyes and took a deep breath. The male lead of the film was her boyfriend, Bai Qiusheng, who was also a famous martial arts star.
The two had agreed to fight for the male and female leads of the film together. But, Bai Qiusheng's role had already been confirmed, while Gu Heng's role had been snatched away!
"Heng Jie, don't be angry. Being able to act in Wei An's film is the most important thing..." her manager comforted.
"What's the point of saying this now? Who told your PR to not be as good as Hai Rui?" Gu Heng turned around and leaned against the sofa, her eyes filled with unwillingness. "Forget it, I can't blame you. After all, your opponent is Mo Ting. It would be strange if you could beat him!"
Deep down, Gu Heng believed that Tangning got the role because of Hai Rui's PR and Mo Ting. But, she didn't realize that Tangning actually had the ability.
After all, who would want to admit defeat in front of a newcomer?
…
Tangning secured the role as she wished, but Mo Ting's heart ached. After returning home, he grabbed the medicine prepared by the doctor and rubbed it all over Tangning's body.
Tangning sat on the sofa. Seeing Mo Ting did not respond, she quickly explained, "It's just a little difficult at the beginning. As long as you can overcome it, it will be easy afterwards. Plus, these are all small injuries."
In reality, Tangning had learned everything she did today from Mo Ting. So, Mo Ting was well aware of the extent of her injuries.
"During the contract signing this afternoon, I've already discussed it with Wei An. Every day after filming, you will directly return home." "Tonight, I'll rehearse with you. I'll teach you all the martial arts scenes. I don't trust anyone else."
"OK," Tangning nodded. With Mo Ting around, she always carried a treasure box with her.
"Also, I heard that Gu Heng accepted the role of your sister." Mo Ting put down the bottle of medicine and sat down beside Tangning. "The two of you will have quite a few scenes together and there will even be fighting scenes. Give me a call when you're filming, I must be there."
"Are you afraid that she will use her power to get back at me?" Tangning guessed.
"She is one of the top 3 female boxers in the country. If she wanted to do something, no one would be able to detect it."
"I'll listen to you." Tangning wrapped her arms around Mo Ting's neck. This man had already thought of everything for her. What else did she have to worry about?
If there was one thing that Tangning and Mo Ting needed to worry about, it would be the secret relationship between Gu Heng and the male lead...
Of course, the most exciting part was the appearance of a strange old man!
The public did not seem surprised by who secured the role. Whether it was Gu Heng or Tangning, one had the ability and the other had the background. It was inevitable that fans would argue, but it did not affect the bigger picture. Soon, the crew of 'The Lost Relative' released an official announcement. They announced that Tangning would be the female lead and Gu Heng would be relegated to a supporting role.
"Tangning's acting is not bad, but when it comes to fighting scenes, I'm more impressed by Gu Heng."
"The commenter above, don't be too sure. According to Tangning's usual style, she will definitely slap you in the face. So, this time, I'm not going to side with anyone. Let's just sit back and watch the film."
"Tangning always catches us by surprise. So, I'm not surprised that she secured the role this time. After all, when she gets serious, even she is afraid of herself."
"Hmmph, our Gu Heng is already the benchmark for this genre. Is the director crazy? "
"As a fan of Gu Heng, I really want to say, who can compete with Tangning's background at Hai Rui? Can her husband do anything he wants? "
"I'm sorry, commenter above, but Tangning has taken one step at a time to get to where she is today. She's no worse than you, OK?"
All in all, the netizens had their own opinions about the casting. After all, they had been slapped in the face by Tangning so many times that they were no longer able to come to a conclusion.
If there was something that you said she couldn't do, then she would prove it to you.
What could you do when faced with an actress like this?
Meanwhile, the male lead, Bai Qiusheng, received news of the casting and immediately gave Gu Heng a phone call, "What happened? How did she lose to Tangning? "
"You shouldn't be asking me. You should be asking Hai Rui," Gu Heng complained. "Did you think I didn't do my best? It's not like you don't know how important this film is to me. But, our background can't compete with hers. What else can I do? "
The man on the other end of the phone remained silent for a few seconds before replying, "Let me think about it."
"What else can you think?"
"There are so many fighting scenes in this film. What do you think?" Bai Qiusheng asked. For Tangning, this film was simply an opportunity. But, for him and Gu Heng, it was the key to fighting for the annual Fei Tian Awards. After being a secret couple for so many years, they wanted to rely on the awards to solidify their status. Once their relationship was revealed, it would reduce the impact on them.
But, Tangning had suddenly appeared out of nowhere...
"Qiusheng, are you planning to..."
"Force her out of the cast," Bai Qiusheng replied. "Don't get involved in this matter. Otherwise, you will be the biggest suspect. After all, you are the beneficiary."
"But, if others find out..."
"No one will find out. The filming of such a dangerous film has always been dangerous," Bai Qiusheng replied firmly. Bai Qiusheng replied firmly. "Gu Heng, Hai Rui can't blame us for this matter. Tangning was the one that stole your role first."
Gu Heng thought about it carefully. She was 32 years old this year and didn't have many years left to waste. So, she had to grab hold of this opportunity.
