CHAPTER 48: CHAPTER 48: ROLE REPLACEMENT

Tong Yan sighed, with a sympathetic look, and said to Bo Yimo, "It’s tough for you." Acting opposite a person like that, it’s indeed tough.

Bo Yimo didn’t respond and just walked forward. Tong Yan couldn’t figure out his attitude. To say they were friends, he was indifferent and distant; not friends, yet he had helped her so many times.

The temperament of a film emperor is truly hard to grasp.

Tong Yan turned around and went back. He didn’t mention anything about the film set, and she didn’t intend to bring it up on purpose; it was best to let things happen naturally.

Bo Yimo’s gaze lingered on her, and then moved away; everything seemed so natural.

The next scene was the supporting male character Zhao Yongnian’s scene with the female lead. It was about to start, but there was still no sign of Gu Shuang.

Li Qin’an looked unhappy and urged the assistant to find her, but after searching all over, the assistant came back and told Li Qin’an that she couldn’t find her.

The scene was still being filmed. How could she just disappear?

Li Qin’an was about to organize everyone to look for her when her assistant Qian Mei called Li Qin’an to say Gu Shuang had gone to a hospital in the city, claiming her foot was injured and she couldn’t film anymore.

Li Qin’an was furious, leaving without a word, acting like he didn’t exist as the director? He then harshly told Qian Mei, "If she’s not back in two hours, I’ll find someone else for the role!"

Tong Yan didn’t know what to say about Gu Shuang’s actions. Injured foot? Who’s she fooling? It must be a threat.

Her idea was simple. The posters were already out, and the audience knew her role; it was impossible to replace an actor midway. But she didn’t consider that doing this was extremely irresponsible to others and herself. She’s not some big star; why should the director be threatened by her?

Li Qin’an loathed being threatened for reasons like this the most. He waited and waited, but she didn’t show up, so he decisively contacted a girl who played the female supporting role in a past life, Chen Lan.

Chen Lan immediately agreed upon receiving the call, packed her things without a word, and took the soonest flight directly to N City, reaching the set by early evening, being exceptionally dedicated.

The actor was changed, and all the scenes had to be reshot. Luckily, only two days had been filmed, so with some effort, they could catch up with the schedule. Therefore, everyone present was quite displeased with Gu Shuang. Why create so much trouble over acting, affecting others?

Li Qin’an handed the script to Chen Lan, giving her less than a day to familiarize herself with it, with filming officially starting the next afternoon.

The female supporting role in her past life, this lifetime she was the female lead, considered a form of fulfillment.

Tong Yan had a good impression of Chen Lan as well, steady and calm, very serious. Her portrayal as the female lead was much better than Gu Shuang.

Meanwhile, Gu Shuang stayed in a five-star hotel, waiting for the director to come to her. Yet, until the next day, she didn’t receive a single call. At first calm, she eventually panicked, immediately having Qian Mei call Li Qin’an for updates, only to find her role had been filled. Panicked, she grabbed her things and rushed to the set.

At this moment, Chen Lan was about to perform her first scene.

Seeing this, Gu Shuang rushed up and pulled Chen Lan down, "This is my role, who let you snatch it!"

Everyone was stunned. Who could have expected such a shrew-like action from a girl? Li Qin’an was the first to react, shouting to the others, "Why are you still standing there? Quickly pull her away!"

Everyone came to their senses, stepping forward to separate the two. Li Qin’an walked up to her, looking displeased, "Gu Shuang, oh Gu Shuang, I thought you had some brains, but it seems I overestimated you."

Gu Shuang stood there dumbly, and after a long time, tearfully said, "Director, I was wrong, please give me another chance, Director, I really was wrong, this time I will act well..."

If she had known it would come to this, why act this way from the start?

Although Gu Shuang cried pitifully, no one on set sympathized with her. She brought this upon herself. If not for her, would their progress have been delayed this far?

Everyone went about their work, leaving her standing there alone, with no one paying her any attention.
