Chapter 412: Dispute
Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations
Shang Rou didn’t expect the production team to still be so motivated to work hard even though the Internet was scolding them.
Looking at the happy atmosphere where Bai Yi was chatting and laughing with everyone, her heart felt like it was blocked by something. She was extremely frustrated.
At this rate, her female lead role would get further and further away from her. Shang Rou gritted her teeth. Her beautiful face distorted slightly for a moment before returning to normal. Then, she took out her phone and sent a message to a certain someone.
[Increase the momentum.]
It was concise, but there was an indescribable urgency.
Shang Rou stared at Bai Yi’s smiling face not far away and felt that it was extremely dazzling. If she didn’t move faster, she was afraid that the female lead position would be for Bai Yi to sit steadily on.
No, she would never accept such a situation.
“Teacher Shang Rou, your scene is next.” A staff member came over to inform her.
However, the staffs tone was very careful, and her head was lowered, as if she was afraid that she would anger Shang Rou and draw her anger.
Shang Rou said angrily, “Got it.”
She snorted coldly and walked towards the filming venue.
The others were already in position. Only Shang Rou herself was missing. This scene was the first meeting of Bai Yi and Shang Rou. It did not have high emotional and acting requirements. According to everyone’s expectations, they felt that it would end quickly.
However, because of “many” problems, it dragged on for an hour.
“Cut!” Liu Cheng shouted with an ugly expression.
The entire production team fell silent after a moment. Shang Rou also slowly stood up and casually took out a mirror from her pocket to check her makeup.
Bai Yi stood rooted to the ground with a forced expression. Sensing Liu Cheng’s dissatisfied gaze, she resisted the urge to sigh.
“I’m sorry, Director.” Bai Yi walked over and apologized.
Just now, the problem had been her several times. Bai Yi’s heart was about to be filled with guilt.
Liu Cheng was silent for a moment before shaking his head. “Forget it, go and look at the script first.”
He sent her away and glanced at Shang Rou, who had already walked into the shadows to take shelter. His expression was a little gloomy.
Liu Cheng was a director, so he naturally had good taste. He could also tell that the problems just now looked like it was Bai Yi’s fault on the surface, but in fact, Shang Rou was intentionally suppressing the scene.
Murong Qiao walked over. “Rest for a while. There’s no point in being in a deadlock like this.”
Clearly, Murong Qiao had also seen the problem.
“…If I had known that Shang Rou was so troublesome, I wouldn’t have sent her an invitation back then.” Liu Cheng was frustrated.
Only with Murong Qiao could he say it secretly, and his voice was lowered to a volume that only the two of them could hear.
Previously, they had all been invited based on their compatibility for the characters. Seeing that Shang Rou was very suitable for the villain supporting role and that the other party had also agreed to the invitation to sign the contract, Liu Cheng thought that the other party would settle down after entering the production team. In the end, not long after filming started, she started causing trouble.
Murong Qiao glanced at Shang Rou. “Her mind isn’t on this.”
“Let me think,” she said thoughtfully.
Murong Qiao didn’t want anyone to leave a stain on the script she had written. Even if she was a villain supporting actress, she should have her own charisma. And what Shang Rou had shown now had completely made Murong Qiao change her mind and think about how to replace her.
It was true that Bai Yi was a talented actress, but Shang Rou had at least acted in a television drama for a few years. In terms of experience and proficiency, she was definitely far better than Bai Yi. This also caused the situation where Shang Rou appeared stronger when the two of them acted together.
It was inevitable that things would be a little difficult after signing the contract. If they replaced her just like that, Shang Rou might ruin this matter. Murong Qiao preferred to get rid of future trouble with one strike.
However, before Murong Qiao could sort out her thoughts, the rhythm on the Internet changed again.
Previously, there were many controversial thoughts about the filming of Three Thousand Realms and the writing of Moon Goddess. After Shang Rou found someone to guide them, the firepower was almost imperceptibly directed to the female lead, Bai Yi.
“According to the previous style, Xian Yu was the male lead in Fearless, and An Nuo was the female lead in Wulin Universe. Shouldn’t they hire a more famous actor for the third book? Why is it a newbie instead?”
“That’s right, that’s right. Even if this particular drama doesn’t require much acting skills, it won’t be much easier. If it really doesn’t work out, it’s fine to bring An Nuo back to act. Why must they find a newbie?” “Additional information: I realized that Bai Yi is also a CG talent. I’m afraid the boss is trying to promote a newbie… Tsk tsk.”
“The male lead is Zhanrong, and the supporting actress is Shang Rou. Are these two hired to play house and practice with Bai Yi? As expected, rich people can do whatever they want.”
in the label discussion, the netizens had different opinions and reasons, but their attitude was unanimous that they did not think highly of Bai Yi.
Under Shang Rou’s deliberate guidance, she and Zhanrong’s fans shifted the focus of their firepower to Bai Yi.
Zhanrong was a capable actor, and most of the fans liked his acting skills. Shang Rou also had a lot of her own fans. Together, with a few casual words from everyone, it was easy for passers-by to be led away.
“God, she’s really using Shang Rou and Zhanrong as stepping stones…”
“The boss can definitely do whatever they want. It’s not our turn to criticize.” “Actually, I was quite curious about what Bai Yi had sacrificed to obtain such a huge amount of resources. The third book of Moon Goddess was given to her just like that. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Perhaps this is the big dye vat.” There were naturally many people who were sarcastic. Malicious speculation was never uncommon in the entertainment industry, especially when it came to actresses.
There were even many Moon Goddess fans who were originally just watching rationally. In the end, many of them who had seen the so-called analysis of the female lead and nitpicking comments about Bai Yi, were also led to join the resistance army.
“Now that you mention it, I think Bai Yi doesn’t seem to like the female lead very much…”
“Could the Moon Goddess have also been bought over? I feel that she’s usually quite concerned about the role and actors. Why did it turn out so bad this time?”
“It’S hard to say, but I don’t acknowledge Bai Yi. Her acting skills aren’t good, and she’s just standing there and saying her lines with a face. What’s the difference between that and the failed online dramas in the past? The third book of Moon Goddess is clearly quite good. This book is probably going to be ruined by the cast.”
The comments online fermented crazily and even showed signs of rushing to the trending topics.
Shang Rou swiped her phone screen and was extremely satisfied after casually reading a few comments. She looked up again and looked at Bai Yi, who was still working hard on the script on the other side. She was discussing the plot with Zhanrong without knowing anything, and she felt even happier.
The female lead role would soon be hers.
The gossip spread very quickly. In just an afternoon, a large number of people had already gone to the official account of the production team of “Three Thousand Realms” to protest.
“Bai Yi, get lost. How are you worthy of the female lead??? You…
This comment with the highest likes was far ahead of the others. It could be said to be filled with malice and extremely aggressive. There were also many blocked words at the end. They were probably words used to greet the entire family.
This time, it was really difficult not to notice.
Moreover, under Shang Rou’s instructions, many of her fans also went to the production team’s accounts to complain about the injustice. They all requested for Shang Rou to be the female lead. It was probably because the fans were sheep. They all followed Shang Rou’s arrogant fans. Their ability to support and step on others could be said to be exquisite.
The staff managing the account quickly relayed this matter to the director, Liu Cheng. Then, he met Liu Cheng’s gloomy face and took a step back in fear..
