CHAPTER 34: CHAPTER 34: AN UNTOUCHABLE FIGURE IN THE INDUSTRY

EDITOR: ATLAS STUDIOS

There are about four days left until filming begins.

Shi Su got up in the morning and started reading the script, continued reading through lunch, and was still pondering how to portray the character Tian Yuli from different periods until dusk. She’s trying to figure out how to perform the nuanced transformation of Tian Yuli’s life from tragic to diabolical.

Clearly, she decided not to revisit the events that happened due to last night’s nightmare.

The car Shi Su sent for maintenance was returned today, so she planned not to have Shi Mianmian take the school bus home tonight, allowing her to pick her up personally and buy some food.

Moreover, though she verbally expressed reluctance, she felt it was necessary to buy some nutritional supplements for Ji Han. Although his injuries have improved significantly, he lost too much blood in the early days of his injury, and his energy and blood must still be somewhat deficient. While his condition is good these few days, he needs extra nourishment.

Shi Su had just left the house when the phone charging in the living room suddenly rang.

It rang twice without anyone answering.

Jing Jihan went over to pick up the phone and saw the name displayed for the incoming call

——Jun.

Given Jun’s misunderstanding and fiery temper towards him, Jing Jihan couldn’t answer the call on behalf of Shi Su.

About ten minutes later, Shi Su’s door was suddenly knocked.

Jun knocked on the door outside for quite some time, but without any response, she anxiously called Shi Su again and heard Shi Su’s phone ringing inside through the door.

She anxiously called out from outside the door, "Shi Su, I know you’re home. You’re not answering the phone or coming out to see me. Have you heard the news from somewhere already? I understand how you feel right now. If it were me, I couldn’t accept it either."

Jun’s face was half flushed with frustration, half apologetic due to her own inadequacies, as she spoke to the closed door, "I really can’t understand it either. Which damned supernatural forces have you offended? Why is someone suddenly insisting on shoving people into the ’Yao Platform Trail’ production, specifically demanding the female lead role of Tian Yuli? We’ve already signed the contract, so theoretically, there shouldn’t be any changes. But the film crew said the person they’re trying to shove in is someone you can’t afford to offend in the industry!"

"To be frank, they’re openly snatching your role. The film crew knows they’re at fault, and they don’t want to get tangled up in breach of contract penalties, so they’re offering us some compensation for mental distress. Given the film crew’s predicament, they don’t want to sour relations for future collaborations. I’ve decided to accept this compensation method, but if this peaceful resolution doesn’t sit well with you..."

"I know how much effort you’ve put into this drama, into portraying the character Tian Yuli. It’s clearly a role so suited for you, and you’re just a step away from getting more attention... It’s also my fault. I’ve been running the film studio for so long, but my resources and capabilities are still insufficient. When such a big company is backing this, no matter how much I fight for you, my abilities can’t keep up..."

"I heard the person fighting for the role is a newcomer just signed by Four Seas Entertainment. She’s young, and her acting skills haven’t been honed much. But given Four Seas Entertainment’s standing in the industry, if they really shove people in, and you insist on playing this role, souring the relations, they can potentially maliciously coordinate to blacklist you from the industry later."

"Yesterday morning, I even got some insider news saying Cai Hong, the producer, called up the director specifically to praise you. How’d everything suddenly change today..."

Jing Jihan heard the voice from outside but remained silent.

Jun also couldn’t hear any movement inside, so she had no idea about Shi Su’s situation at the moment.
