"How did he treat me with such sincerity?" Chen Xingyan asked as she tilted her head.
"How would I know? You have to ask him! "Lin Sheng decided not to reveal the truth. He wanted An Zihao to suffer a little.
...
Meanwhile, An Zihao obediently made up for the day's losses. Even the director felt his heart ache, "It must be a headache to deal with a seedling like this."
An Zihao looked at Chen Xingyan in the distance and shook his head, "She is a good seedling. She just needs time to prove herself."
"Among us, you're the only one that thinks she has unlimited potential," the director sighed.
An Zihao smiled, not taking it to heart.
"Have you encountered some financial problems recently? If you need money, feel free to look for me. I can introduce you to some other jobs, "the director offered enthusiastically. He simply wanted to show off his connections.
An Zihao nodded his head and thanked the director with a smile. He wasn't at that stage yet.
Chen Xingyan was indeed not hardworking enough, but she lived with her own personality. At times, An Zihao felt conflicted. Should he make her shine? Or should he let her continue living her own life?
Afterwards, An Zihao left the set. That night, in order to make up for the missed scenes, Chen Xingyan had to film in the middle of the night. In fact, she had to film underwater scenes.
However, Chen Xingyan was an agile monkey. She wasn't afraid of anything, but water. So, after a few dozen takes, she almost always failed.
This made the director, who was covered in water, yell angrily from the shore, "Do you even know how to act?"
Chen Xingyan trembled uncontrollably. All she could do was stand in the water and tremble.
But, to be honest, because she was afraid of water, she did not put in all her emotions.
"Director, I'm sorry. Let's try again."
The director held back his anger and returned to the camera. But, this time, Chen Xingyan was in an even worse state.
Lin Sheng watched from the side. His assistant originally wanted to step forward to help, but Lin Sheng stopped him, "Let her learn a lesson."
"I'm not filming anymore. I've never seen such a lazy actress. On your own, you've made it impossible for the entire crew to sleep..."
Chen Xingyan lowered her head and stood up from the water. She then walked over to the director's side, completely soaked.
"Don't make me feel aggrieved. I feel aggrieved too. An Zihao, who paid the price for nothing, feels even more aggrieved." The director pointed at Chen Xingyan's nose and said, "I know you are used to playing around and living the life of a stunt double, but you are now the female lead. Can you not be so selfish? Can't you think about others? "
"Previously, in order to avenge you, An Zihao made American director Matt pay the price. He practically gave up his entire fortune. Even today, because of your stubbornness, An Zihao paid yet another bill. He was a rookie director with a bright future, but because of you, he almost gave up all his fortune. Don't you feel guilty?"
The director almost shouted the last sentence.
Chen Xingyan's spirits were lifted after hearing this.
"F * ck off f * ck off... I'm not filming tonight. If it wasn't for Lin Sheng and An Zihao, I would have fired you."
Chen Xingyan opened her mouth, wanting to say something. But, just as the words reached the tip of her tongue, she suddenly felt like she was trying to defend herself.
An Zihao...
For her? Scatter the family fortune?
Chen Xingyan was a little helpless. She had no idea that An Zihao had done all this for her behind her back.
"Director, let's try one more time."
"I'm not filming anymore. An Zihao has done so much for you, but your performance tonight has allowed me to see how you have destroyed his trust, his efforts and his heart." After speaking, the director left. The other staff on set also looked at Chen Xingyan with deep meaning; they were disappointed that she didn't live up to their expectations.
"Sheng Ge, the director's words were too harsh," Lin Sheng's assistant said after seeing the scene. After seeing the scene, Lin Sheng's assistant whispered in his ear, "Chen Xingyan is a little afraid of water."
"Since she wants to be a celebrity that everyone attaches importance to, there's nothing she can't overcome. She has a mouth, so she can ask others how to overcome her difficulties. But, she's young and arrogant, so she won't say anything," Lin Sheng said as he gestured for his assistant to return to his room to get some rest.
"A thousand Chen Xingyans can't compare to one Tangning. I mean, when it comes to acting."
Chen Xingyan was used to being muddle-headed. She had never suffered like this before. But, this time, she didn't feel wronged at all.
Because she actually felt a trace of self-blame in her heart?
It didn't take long before Chen Xingyan returned to her room helplessly. However, at this time, the production director suddenly gave An Zihao a phone call.
"I'm afraid I can't continue filming with that sapling of yours. While there isn't much to film, I'd rather find someone else to replace her. That way, we won't end up in a more passive position."
From the director's voice and the timing of the phone call, An Zihao could tell that the director had already tried his best. Who would call him in the middle of the night to complain?
An Zihao remained silent for a moment before he finally said to the director, "How about this? Director, I have a plan. If she still can't do it this last time, you can replace her. When that time comes, I probably won't have any reason to continue."
The director took a deep breath and calmed down, "OK, go ahead. But, this will be the last time."
"OK," An Zihao nodded.
...
That night, Chen Xingyan didn't sleep well. Her mind kept replaying the words that the director had said to her.
Did An Zihao really do all this for her?
After a sleepless night, when she woke up the next day, she received news, "The director gave your manager a phone call last night and has decided to replace you."
The director's assistant knocked on Chen Xingyan's door early in the morning.
"For someone like you who has no sense of teamwork and doesn't know how to be grateful, the director has no way of teaching you. It's best if you go back and look for your An Zihao."
Chen Xingyan had dark circles under her eyes. Originally, she was still in a daze. But, as soon as she heard that the director had decided to replace her, she froze like she had been struck by lightning.
After speaking, the assistant turned and left without giving Chen Xingyan a chance to explain herself.
She was replaced, just like that?
Chen Xingyan sat in a daze for a few minutes before she remembered to give An Zihao a phone call, "I've been replaced."
"I know," An Zihao replied calmly on the other end of the phone. "It's perfect for you to continue your dream of being a stunt double."
"I..." Chen Xingyan felt both angry and hurt at An Zihao's words.
"Go home by yourself. I still have things to do."
After speaking, An Zihao hung up the phone.
Chen Xingyan sat on the bed in discomfort. Suddenly, she began to panic.
Was this all she would be like for the rest of her life? Dragging people down? Dragging people down?
