Chapter 485: Chapter 485: The Request… Replace Tang Li!

The director called cut, and Tang Li walked straight away.

Seeing Ouyang Qian outside the door, she was somewhat surprised, but then it became clear to her, Lai Yuaner must have been scared yesterday, she definitely had to tell her family about the bungee jumping accident, and with Ouyang Qian’s maternal concern, it was inevitable that she would make a trip to Lishan.

Facing the gaze from Ouyang Qing, Tang Li responded with a shallow smile.

Ouyang Qian couldn’t help but grip her handbag tightly.

How could she not see, this surnamed Tang little bitch was bullying Yuanyuan on the film set.

Meanwhile, Sister Wen had already helped Lai Yuaner up.

Dressed in a white suit with matching trousers and high heels, Ouyang Qian, looking like a powerful businesswoman, quickly stepped to her younger daughter’s side, “Are you alright?”

As she spoke, she carefully checked on her daughter’s condition.

Lai Yuaner turned her head towards the sound, and the moment she saw her mother, a surge of grievances overwhelmed her.

Seeing her daughter holding back tears, Ouyang Qian embraced her, “It’s okay, mom is here, I won’t let anyone bully you again!”

“I really didn’t know what happened just now,” Lai Yuaner’s voice was tearful, “The way she looked at me, it’s like she really wanted to strangle me, I couldn’t breathe at that moment, all I wanted was to break free and I couldn’t help but kneel down.”

Hearing this, Ouyang Qian raised her hand to touch her daughter’s neck, “Does it still hurt now?”

“It still does a bit,” Lai Yuaner sobbed.

Sister Wen didn’t make a sound beside them.

Having worked in this industry for decades, how could she not see that Lai Yuaner was being outperformed by Tang Li, whether in terms of aura or acting skills, Lai Yuaner had no power to fight back, hence the reaction, it’s not like how Lai Yuaner herself described it, “Tang Li pinched her and hurt her.”

Suffocation is an extremely painful thing.

If Tang Li had really pinched, Lai Yuaner’s neck would have had fingerprints on it by now.

And she wouldn’t be standing here right now “complaining” properly.

Not just her, Sister Wen believed, many on the film set had seen that Lai Yuaner’s acting was not as good as the newcomer Tang Li.

As long as Tang Li remains Bao Xin, over the next month, the more Lai Yuaner has to act opposite her, the more she will be outperformed.

As an experienced agent, Sister Wen knew very clearly that this situation must be nipped in the bud immediately.

The first time, Lai Yuaner could say it was Tang Li choking her that caused her mistake.

But what about the second time, the third time, and the nth time after that?

Especially with directors like Zhao Zhenglei, he simply couldn’t be fooled.

By that time, the drama crew would definitely spread the word “Lai Yuaner lacks acting skills, overshadowed by the newcomer,” and the entertainment industry is full of kicking someone when they are down, once Lai Yuaner gets tagged with “lack of talent,” it would be difficult for her to turn the situation around.

Taking advantage of Lai Yuaner going to the bathroom, Sister Wen shared her concerns with Ouyang Qian.

That evening, Ouyang Qian took the initiative to invite Zhao Zhenglei for dinner.

Ouyang Qian laid a check for fifty million on the table and slowly pushed it towards Zhao Zhenglei, “The Phoenix Concubine is a TV drama I personally hold in high regard, and with Yuanyuan participating, I’ve taken the liberty of inviting myself to dinner tonight, hoping that Director Zhao will agree to our Tianyi investment in your drama.”

In the film industry, most directors are short on funds, after all, producing a TV drama requires money at every stage, and to produce a refined drama, even more financial investment is needed.

“It’s an honor that the Chairwoman values my directed drama,” Zhao Zhenglei stood up lifting his wine glass, “All I can say is, this drama won’t disappoint you!”

Ouyang Qian smirked and clinked glasses before speaking, “It’s just… I have a small request.”

“What request?”

Zhao Zhenglei posed as if eager to hear.

Ouyang Qian stopped beating around the bush, “Replace the actress who plays Mrs. Bao.”
